The  wreck  Is  the  central  figure  of  an

Morris  have  convinced  him  that  this  is 
the  best  solution    )f  the  difflculty. 

Beaulleu's  contention  Is  that  the  In- 
dians are  entitled  to  allotments  on  the 
Mille  Lacs  reservation  under  the  present 
law.  but  the  disposition  of  the  offlcials 
of  the  Indian  and  land  offices  is  in  favor 
of  the  removal  to  White  Earth  as  for 
tht  best  interests  of  all  concerned.

willing  to  afford  the  Spanish  authorities 
all  rea.sonable  facilities  for  conducting 
ail  investigation,  yet  It  Is  thought  best 
that  the  first  inquiry  shall  be  made  by 
our  own  commissioners.  The  request  of 
the  Spanish  authorities,  therefore,  will 
be  respectfully   declined. 

The  request  of  the  Spanish  govern- 
ment fcr  permission  to  examine  th" 
wreck  of  the  Maine  was  reported  to  the 
state  department  last  night  throuyh 
the  following  message: 

'•Havana,    Felj.    18,— Assistant    Secre- 
tary Day,  Washington:     Sigsbee  begins 
tomorrow    with    divers    sent    from    the 
United  States  to  recover  all  bodies  stui 
left  in  the  wreck  of  the  Maine,  as  w-ll 
as  personal   effects   of  the   otficers  and 
men    and  whatever  else  can  be  obtained 
that  way.     After  that  is  completed,  the 
Spanish  government  would  like  to  unitf 
with  ours  in  having  the  bottom  of  thc> 
ship  and  harbor  in  vlcin-lty  Jointly  ex- 
amined. LiEt.. 
The  following  Is  the  answer  sent: 
•Washington.   Feb.  19.— Lee,  Havana: 
The  governmi^nt  of     the  United   States 
has  already  begun  an  investigation  as 
to  the  causes  of     the     disaster     to     the 
Maine    through    officers    of    the    navy 
specially    appointed    for    that    purpos- 
which   will   proceed  indepHndently.  Thu 
gov-rnment    will    afford    every    facility 
It    can    to    the   Spanish    authorities 
whatever    investigation    they    may 
tit  to  make  upon  their  part. 

"DAY.    Assistant    Secretary. 
The  apparent  difficulty  attending  the 
'tending   down    of    divers    to    the    Maine 
was    r.lieved    If    not    entirely    removed 
by  a  statement  today  by  Senor  Dubosc 
charge    d'affaires   of    the   Spanish    lega- 
tion    that   a  complete   and    harmonious 
understanding    between    Capt.    Sigsbec 
and  the  authorities  at  Havana  had  been 
reached    on      the   matter   of    the   diver? 
and    the   Spanish  viewed   the   Maine   as 
extra-territorial,   that  is   a   part  of   the 
sovereign  territory  of  the  United  States 
the   same   as  a  United   States   legation 
siluat.-d    in    foreign   territory.   \\  ith  tht 
Maine   holding    its  status   as   extra-ter- 
ritorial, all  doubt  as  to  the  work  on  the 
wreck  is  removed. 

The  waters  of  Havana  harbor  are  of 
course  Spanish  territory,  and  some  con- 
fusion had  been  aroused  V>y  the  idea 
that  this  jurisdiction  over  the  watery 
attached  also  to  the  wreck  in  its  present 
helpless  condition  at  the  bottom  of  the 
i)ay.  It  appears,  however,  that  there 
is  no  disposition  to  extend  this  jurisdic- 
tion to  the  ship  and  that  the  Spanish 
authorities  freely  assent  to  the  Maine 
being  regarded  as  extra-territorial.  an<i 
under  the  immediate  direction  of  Capt 
Sigsbpe  as  the  representative  of  the 
United    States. 

According   to   the   vie-w   taken    by   thf 
Spanish    authorities,    there   can    be     no 
trouble  attending  the  work  of  the  divers 
Capt.  Sigsl)ee  will  be  recognized  as  the 
nnf-    to    direct    operations    and    to    send 
flown    the   government   divers   for   such 
inspection   as   he   sees  proper    to   make 
Mr    Dubosc  feels  assured,  however,  that 
Capt     Sigsbee   will    extend    facilities    t( 
th"^  divers,  so  that  the  inspections  may 
proceed    together.      As    to    what    divert- 
Capt.    Sigsbee   will   employ,    the   feeling 
of  Spanish  officials  here  is  that  this  wi! 
be   wholly   a  matter  of  discretion    with 
Capt   Sigsbee  as  one  in  charge  of  a  pl^cp 
of    property    having    the    attributes    of 
American    soil,    but    at    the    same    timf 
the    feeling    is    expressed    that    the    dis- 
cretion will  lead  to  th^  choice  of  author- 
ized  divers    of      the    navy    department 
rather   than    those    representing   news- 
papers. 


SUBMARINE  INSPECTION. 

To  Be  Made  Possible   By   Baltimore 
Man's  Invention. 

Baltimore.     ML.   Feb.     ly.-The     sub- 
marine wrecking  boat      Argonaut      has 
been  towed  from      its      moorings  to  the 
yards  where  it  w-as  built.  Here  Its  boiler 
and      machinery      are  to  be  thoroughly 
overhauled,  and  when  pronounced  abso- 
lute Iv  fit  it  is  to  be  towed  by  lug  to  Key 
West,   and  from     there     transported     lu 
Havana.    J.    C.    Lake,    father   of   Simon 
I  ake    inventor  of  the  boat,  says  that  he 
had  no  doubt  that  the  exict  cause  of  the 
sinking  of  the   Maine  could    lie   learned 
by  the  use  of  ttie  Argonaut.     The  testi- 
inonv  of  divers  would  not  have     to     be 
rrlle'd  upon,  he  mid.  because  the  govern- 
ment's commission  could  be  taken  to  tne 
bottom  of  the  harbor,  and  by  the  use  of 
the  electric  lights  carried   by  the  Argo- 
naut, could  be  s-hown  the  exact  condition 
of  the  vessel's  hull.

Zola's  Trial  Will  Conclude  on   Wed- 
nesday Next. 

Paris.  Feb.  19.  — The  crowd  present  at 
the  Zola  trial  today  was  very  large,  but 
oomparatlve  quiet  was  maintained. 

M.  Lal)orie,  counsel  for  M.  Zola, .ask-.d 
Col.  Picquart  if  the  Bordereau  was  writ- 
ten in  March  or  April,  1894,  and  the  wit- 
ness answered  that  he  did  not  remem- 
ber. 

G(  n.  Pellieux  refused  to  answer  ques- 
tions put  to  him  In  conformity  with  his 
statement  that  it  was  for  the  advocate 
gt  niial  to  deal  with  que-stions  outside  of 
the  Zola  cases.  He  added:  "I  am  of 
the  opinion  that  throughout  this  trial 
strange  things  hive  happened.  A  per- 
.son  hoiv"— turning  towards  Plcquari— 
•'and  I  say  to  his  face,  (sensation)  who 
still  wears  the  uniform  of  the  French 
army,  comes  to  this  court  and  accus;  s 
military  men  of  having  committed  for- 
gLry  and  of  having  turned  it  to  ae- 
count."  (I'rolonged  cheers  from  the 
back  of  the-  court). 

To  this  Col.  Picquftrt  replied:  "I  havi- 
said  1  had  too  much  respect  for  my 
chltfs  and  fnr  justice  to  withhold  the 
(ruth,  and  I  say  It  again  In  the  presence 
of  my  chiefs."  _       ^    , 

"I  also  say  the  soldiers  are  animated 
by  good  faith."  .said  M.  Laborle,  •but—" 
'•You  aie>naking  a  siwch,"  inte'^rrupt.  d 
the  presiding  judge.  "No."  replied  M. 
Lal)orle.  "I  wish  to  establish  somethin.:^ 
of  the  greatest  Importance,  and  they  are 
trvlng  to  Intimidate  me." 

"You  are  making  a  speec.i,     said   the 

presiding  officer  again.     "I  shall  have  to 

stop  you." 

"I  am  obliged  to  you  every  time    you 

remarked  M.  Laborle;  "as  you 

me." 


Same 


monitor:  naval  veterans. 

Within 


Spirit     Alive      Within      Their 
Breasts  as  formerly. 

New  York,  Feb.  19.— The  Monitor  As- 
sociation of  Naval  Veterans,  port  of 
Brooklyn,  has  adopted  a  series  of  reso- 
lutions on  ttie  Maine  disaster  which, 
after  expressing  sympathy  with  th^^ 
friends  and  relatives  of  the  victims  say: 
"Resolved,  that  the  same  spirit  which 
led  us  to  the  defense  of  our  country  in 
1861  to  186.-)  is  still  alive  within  our 
br^^asts,  and  il'  any  wrong  has  been  done 
which  God  forbid,  but.  if  such  is  the 
fact,  we  hereby  offer  our  service  to  our 
beloved  country,  and  Its  flag." 


stop  me 

thereby  confer  fresh   honor  upon 

(Cheers).  , 

This  caused  Gen.  Pellieux  to  remark: 
••He  has  just  played  with  the  case,  and 
played  with  It  against  my  wll  .  M. 
Laborle  iiegan  to  comment  again,  but 
the  piesidlnij  J"<iRP  threatened  him  wl.h 
disciplinary  p:.ni8hment  If  he  lid  oot 
ceasH  talking.  Thi;;  action  of  the  couit 
caused  a  row  in  the  back  of  the  court 
room,  and  M.  Laborle  Passionately  ad- 
dressed the  dlsturV.ers,  saying:  What 
lejoices  you  Is  to  see  right  and  ju.stue 
violated  more  and  more  every  day. 

Then  addressing  M.  Zola.  M.  Labone 
exclaimed:  "I  ask  myself  ^vhe^her  it 
was  not  better  for  us  to  leave  the  e^iurt 
than  to  allow  ourselves  to  be  treated  as 
we  are  treated."     (Uproar  in  court). 

Pol  Picquart  said  the  paper  inferred  to 
Maj.  Havary's  report  appeared  to  apply 
to  an  officer  of  a  line  regiment  ralhei 
han  to  a  staff  officer.  Several  witnes- 
ses including  Anatole  Framj.  testified 
to  M.  Zola's  courage  and  good  faith. 

The  court  announced  that  the  council 
of  ministers  had  declined  to  authorize 
Gen.  Billot,  the  minister  of  war.  to  tes- 
Hfv  and  the  defense  made  the  an- 
nouncement' that  it  would  not  call  a^y 
more  witnesses.  The  court  then  ad- 
S?,urned  until  Monday,  and  the  case  will 
conclude  Wednesday.

temper    is   predlcate'd    upon    the-    theory 
that   the   Maine   was   blown   mv   '-Y   Pa-

fact      beyond    peradventure,    that      tie

other  cause  within  her,  it  is  belte-ved  a

the  construction  of  warshi|is  that   may 
blow   up  at  any   time. 

It  «eems  likely  that  a  congressional 
investigation  will  follow  a  report  from 
the  l)oard  of  inquiry  attributing  the 
l(*ss  of  the  Maine  to  an  explosion  of 
her  magazine.  No  resolution  for  this 
purpose  has  yet  been  introduced  in  the 
house,  however,  a  premiinent  member 
of  the  house  and  naval  committee  said 
that  he  was  ab.solutely  amazed  wh-n 
he  learned  that  the  Maine's  coal  bunk- 
ers abutted  the  magazine  with  only  a 
thin  partition  l)etw<'en:  ... 

••When    I    learned    of   the    fire   in    the 
coal   bunkers  of  the  Cincinnati,    which 
charred   the  boxes   in   which   the  shells 
in  her  magazine 'were  stored,'    said  ho, 
••r   di<l  not   consider  it   my  duty   to  at- 
tempt to  initiate  cimgre.sslonal  actum  to 
avert  this  danger  due  to  her  construc- 
tion   1    assumed   as  a  matter  of  course 
that   it   was  the  duty   of  the  navy  .1e- 
partment    officials      to       effect        such 
changes    as    v.ould    remove    that    dan- 
por        The   construction    of   a       second 
bulkhead,    leaving   an    air   passage    be- 
tween  the   bunkers  and   the   magazine, 
would   have  reme)ved   this  danger    Now 
I   find  that  nothing  was  d(me  either  to 
correct  the  defect  on  the  Cincinnati  or 
any       other       ship.       We       will       un- 
doubtedly  ascertain   how   many   of  our 
«hipH  are  subject  to  this  danger,  but  I 
do  not  know  whether  It  Is  advisable  to 
have   a  congressional   Inquiry. 

Mr  Cummings,  who  continues  to  ad- 
here to  the  theory  that  the  Maine  was 
blown  up  by  a  torpedo,  when  ask.'d

that  'he  Maine's  magazine  cxplodtd

frankly:    "It   is  perfectly   true."

First    Explosion    Did    Not   Occur  In 
Magazine. 

New  York.  Feb.  19.— A  special  to  the 
Herald  from  Key  West  says:  Frank 
G.  Thompson,  a  petty  officer  of  th> 
Maine,  now  under  treatment  at  the  Ma- 
rine hospital,  says  that  shortly  before 
the  explosion,  he  was  on  the  port  gang- 
way with  twenty-five  or  thirty  others, 
who  like  himself  had  gone  there  to  get 
a  whiff  of  fresh  air,  as  it  was  too 
warm  below. 

They  all  turned  In  at  9  o'clcK-k.  Short- 
ly aftei^-ards  he  heard  the  sentinel's 
call  of  "All's  well"  from  the  Spanish 
warship  Alfonse  XII,  which  was  an- 
swered by  an  echo  from  the  fortifica- 
tions on  each  side  of  the  harbor.  He 
is  firm  in  the  belief  that  there  were  two 
di'stinct  explosions  and  that  the  first 
which  lifted  the  Maine  did  not  occur 
in  the  magazine. 

H-  says  the  magazine  had  been  visited 
but  a  short  while  previous  and  that 
the  temperature  was  cexil.  He  had 
never  felt  that  the  .^lightest  danger 
menactd  the  magazine,  as  he  had  pre- 
viously setn  it  .so  warm  during  target 


CAPT.  SIGSBEE'S  STORY. 

Describes  the  Explosion  Which  Des- 
troyed His  Ship. 

Havana.  Feb.  19.-Capt.  Sigsbee  of 
the  Maine  Ir  an  Interview  today  with 
the  correspondent  of  the  Associated 
Press,  described  In  detail  the  explosion 
which  destroyed  the  great  ship.     . 

"On  the  ni)?ht  of  the  explosion,  said 
he.  "I  had  n  )t  retired.  I  was  writing 
inters.  I  find  it  impossible  to  de- 
scribe the  sound  fir  shock,  but  the  im- 
pression remains  of  something  awe-in- 
si>iring,  teriifving.  of  noise-rending', 
vibrating,  all-pervading.  There  is 
nothing  in  the  former  experience  ol 
anv  one  on  board  to  measure  the  ex- 
perience. After  the  first  great  shock  - 
I  cannot  recall  hnw  many  sharp  de- 
tonations I  heard,  not  more  than  tuo 
<ir  three—  I  knew  my  ship  was  gone 
su<h  a  structure  as  the  Maine  the 
fects  of  suci  an  explosion  are  not  for 
a  m<jnienl  In  doubt. 

•I  mad.-  my  way  through  the  long 
passageway  in  the  <lark,  groping  from 
side  to  side,  to  the  hatchway  anel  then 
into  the  poijp,  being  among  the  ear- 
liest to  reach  that  spot.  As  sexm  as  1 
recognized  the  officers,  I  ordered  the 
high  explosives  to  be  flooded  and/ 
then  directed  that  the  boats  available 
be  lowered  to  res<  ue  the  wounded  or 
dr.jwnlng.  Discipline,  in  perfect  mea- 
sure, preva  led.  There  was  no  more 
confusion  than  a  call  to  general  quar- 
ters would  i^roduce.

flames  that  all  mv  officers  and  crew 
left  alive  and  on  b^ard  surrounded  me. 
I  cannot  form  anv  idea  of  the  time, 
but  it  seemed  flv-  minutes  from  the 
time  I  reached  the  poop  until  I  left

three-quarters  of  an  hour  or  mor-.

done. 

"I  re.member  the  officers  and  men

were  on  deck  at  the  time  of  the  explo-

COURT  OF  INOlilRY. 

Admiral    Sicard  Wires    That    All  Is 
In  Readiness. 

Washington,  Feb.  19.-The  excitement 
of  the  past  few  days  has  mostly  disap- 
peared at  the  navy  department,  and  this 
morning  the  overworked- officials,  par- 
ticularly the  officers  of  the  navigation 
bureau,  who  have  been  working  night 
and  day  almost  since  the  Maine  disaster 
to  meet  the  Inquiries  of  anxious  rela- 
tives of  the  victims,  while  keeping  up 
the  current  w  irk  of  the  office,  were  able 
to  turn  attenticm  to  less  pressing  mat- 

Tlie  first  dispatch  that  came  to  hand 
relative  to  the  disaster  was  one  from 
Admiral  Sicard,  dated  at  Key  \yest  last 
night,  speaking  of  the  assembling  of 
the  court  of  inquiry.    The  message  was 

as  follows:  „     .  ,,   ^ 

••Secretary  of  the  Navy:  Bache  sailed 
from  Key  West  for  Havana  with  the 
divers  and  stores  for  the  Maine.  'The

of  Marix.  The  Massachusetts  and  In- 
diana at  Tortugas.  Fifteen  officers  and 
forty-seven  men  from  the  Maine  have 
been  distributed  at  Key  West  marine 
hospital  and  the  army  barracks.  More 
are  due  here  on  the  19th  by  the  Man- 
grove. I  shall  hold  all  at  Key  West 
pending  the  court  of  inquiry.  No  one 
of  the  twenty-one  apprentices  that  the 
Texas  took  from  New  York  city  was 
#n  board  the  Maine  at  the  time  of  the 
explejslon,  as  no  oi.portunity  had  eiffered

VIZCAYA  IN  A  FOG. 


Spanish  Cruiser  Still   at  Anchor  Off 
the  Hook. 

New  York,  Feb.  19.— A  dispatch  from 
Sandy  Henjk  this  morning  says  'he 
Vizcaya,  which  arrived  off  the  Hook 
last  evening,  cannot  be  seen  from  the 
shore  on  account  of  the  prevailing  fo-.r. 
There  is  a  light  breeze  from  the  north- 
east. 

At  9:30  a.  m.  the  Vizcaya  sti'.l  lay  at 
anchor.  The  fog  shows  no  signs  of 
lifting.  At  the  navy  yard  the  two 
tugs  Nina  and  Narketta  were  still 
awaiting  orders.  The  police  boat  pat- 
rol left  early  and  went  out  to  the  Span- 
ish vessel.  The  only  change  for  th-* 
program  is  that  Lieut.  Aaron  Wood 
will  take  Lieut.  Dougherty's  place  in 
extending  the  official  courtesies  to  the 
Vizcava  when  she  comes  to  a  per- 
manent anchorage.  Lieut.  Wood  will 
go  out  on  the  admiral's  barge  t'ndine.

he  cannot  reach  Key  West  early  today 
from   Tampa,    owing   to    the   lack    of   a 
r-  gular  boat,   but  it  is  thought  that  he 
will  be  there  in  time  to  conduct  the  in-

While  the  court  is  entirely  master  of

of    Arkan- 
The  only  re- 
sult  of   the  pardon   is   a  restoration   to 
citizenship. 

Arthur  D.  Andrews,  of  the  southern 
district  of  California,  convicted  in  1S94 
of  vi<dation  of  the  postal  laws  and  sen- 
tenced to  three  ye-ars  in  prison  and  to 
pav  a  fine  of  $1000.  The  pardon  Is 
grantel  on  that  since  his  arrest  Andrew- 
has  already  ser\'ed  a  longer  term  tha's 
the   sentence    imposed. 

Jack  Wilkinson,  of  the  eastern  district 
of  Texas,  convicted  In  1S96  of  assault 
with  intent  to  kill.  The  papers  in  the 
case  show  that  the  j.risoner  can  live 
only  a  short  tlmt,-. 

This  is  al.so  the  basis  for  the  pardon 
in  the  case  of  James  Ailred,  of  the  east-

Discussion  of  the  Old  Range 

Allotments  For  Coming 

Season. 


VALIES  AGREED  ON 


Prices  on  Mesaba  Bessemers 

and  Non-Bessemers  Still 

an  Inknown  Quantity. 


Ishpeming.  Mich.,  Ft-b.  !!».-< Sjuvial  to 
The  H.raM.>— Tho  prodiuors  of  old-ianKt^ 
Bessomer  ores  have  eflfecteii  their  agree- 
irent  for  th.>  i-urivnt  seaSKii  ii:ul  allot- 
n»e!>ts  of  proilucUon  have  been  made,  pro- 
viding for  iin  output  of  t;,000,(X)0  pross 
;on-^.  an  advaice  of  l.tW.(M)  tons  over  the 
production  allowed  hi.«t  year,  it  may  l>«' 
thai  It  will  be  found  advisable  to  slishlly 
iitTtnse  this  allotment  toward  the  clo«- 
of  the  season,  but  it  .<eems  probable  that 
O.OOt'.OiiO  tons  of  old-ran«:e  Bessemer  will 
lom-.'  prettv  nt^r  lillinR  th.-  reijuiremontH 
of  the  vesir.  as  there  will  be  a  heavy 
tonnasre  of  Mesaba  Hossemor  in  addition. 
All  atumpts  to  include  the  Mo.-'abu  mines 
'n  the  pool  proved  futile.  uh>  mueh  lu)stil- 
it>  being  developeil  during  the  prelimin- 
af,'  lonferences  of  the  mine  owners  a:ul 
a^Vnts.  The  prices  agreetl  on  for  189S  are 
based,  as  in  previous  years.  ui>on  stand- 
ard Oo«t'Wc  ore.  the  variety  pnxluced  in 
largre  amount  by  the  Xorrie  mine.  An  ad- 
vance i>f  but  lii  cents  per  ton  was  made 
over  last  year's  figure  of  *2.tw.  making 
.he  lS9i>  figure  $2.M)  j>er  ton  for  stand- 
ard Gogebic.  The  Minnesota  Bessemers 
will  range  al>out  J.?,  according  to  tho  new 
sciile.  and  the  fancy  Bessemers  of  this 
district  will  sell  up  as  high  as  W.6.S.  :hai 
he'ug  the  highest  price  tor  which  any  ore 
mined  this  vear  will  be  disposed  of.  The 
non-Bessemers  will  take  their  chances 
In  the  open  market  and  the  unfavorable 
londltlons  of  several  years  past  will  be 
eont:nued.  although  thtre  bids  fj^lr  to  be 
u  slight  inertai»e  in  selling  prices  of  better 
grade  non-Bessemers.  Prices  on  Mesaba 
Bes-vemers  and  non-Bessemers  are  still  an 
imknowu  quantity,  but  the  ,catch-as- 
(iitch-can  business  of  last  year  will  l>e 
repeated.  With  a  difttrentiul  of  only  -'• 
tents  per  ton  allowed  against  Mesaba 
ores  at  :he  opening  of  last  season,  the 
requirements!  of  the  market  and  the 
aixitty  of  Mesaba  owners  to  dispose  of 
iheir  product  soon  led  to  a  doubling  of 
the  differential  and  Fayal  ore.  the  stand- 
ard of  the  Mesaba  dis;rici.  sold  down  to 
$2.10  per  ton  Instead  of  $:;.40.  as  arranged 
al  the  opening  of  the  season.  It  seems 
probablf  that  the  Me.saba  ores  will  com- 
mand but  little  better  prices  this  year 
than  las:  and  it  is  the  general  Impression 
amt.rg  those  b^st  posted  in  the  ore  trade 
that  the  Mesaba  minrs  will  do  very  well 
indeed  If  they  make  their  sales  on  the 
basis  of  $2.25  per  ton  for  Fayal. 

These  prices  are  In  all  cases  for  ore  de- 
livered. Approximately  SO  per  cent  of  the 
season's  output  will  go  to  various  i^ake 
Erie  ports,  for  distribution  from  thence 
to  the  furnaces  of  Ohio  and  Pennsylva- 
nia. The  balance  of  the  production  of  ISitti 
will  go  to  Lake  Michigan,  for  reduction  by 
the  Illinois  Steel  company,  and  a  few 
hundred  thousand  tons  will  be  smelted  at 
GUdstone.  Ashland  and  in  other  furnaces 
near  the  mines.  The  outlook  for  the  inde- 
pendent mine  owners  of  the  Mesaba  is 
most  dismal.  They  will  be  but  little 
if  any  better  placed  this  season  than  last. 
and  it  is  hard  to  figure  out  a  profit  on  this 
year's  business  for  the  mines  that  were 
unable  to  work  last  season.  The  pri>spects 
are  but  little  better  for  many  of  the  old- 
mnge  properties  producing  non-Bessemer 
grades,  such  as  the  Buffalo  group  of 
mines  at  Negaunee  and  others  producing 
like  ort>^.  At  Iron  Mountain  the  big 
Chapin  mine  raises  but  little  Bessemer 
ore.  and  its  product  this  season  will  nev- 
es^sarily  be  sold  at  figures  precluding  any 
but  the  most  meager  profits.  The  Chapln. 
however.  Is  a  great  mine,  enjoying  excep- 
tional facilities  and  having  ualimlted 
capital  to  draw  on. 

The  ISJW  schedule  of  ore  prices  Is  not 
especially  encouraging  to  the  owners  of 
the  vessels  that  will  carry  the  ore.  It 
means  a  continuation  of  lSf>7  freights,  in 
all  likelihood.  The  advance  of  1,'>  to  20 
cents  per  ton  on  the  prices  of  the  higher 
grades  of  ore  will  but  little  more  than 
cover  the  advance  in  miners'  wages.  Rail 
freights  are  likely  to  remain  unchanged 
unless  the  owners  of  independent  mines 
in  Minnesota  should  succce«l  in  securing 
a  reduction  in  rates.  There  does  not  seem 
to  be  any  certainty,  however,  that  such  a 
r-duction  will   be  secured. 

There  is  every  prospect  of  an  unusually 
ei:rly  opening  of  navigation.  Tht'  winter 
has  been  of  most  exceptional  mildness 
on  the  great  lakes  and  unless  the  tem- 
perature from  now  on  until  spring  should 
)<e  of  unusual  severity  the  Ice  will  go  out 
earlier  than  for  many  years.  This  will  be 
a  strong  point  against  any  increase  in 
h'ke  freights.  The  idea  of  an  agreement 
between  owners  of  lake  crafts  to  not  pu 
their  boats  In  commission  imtil  Srveral 
weeks  after  the  opening  of  navigatior. 
may  b-  suggested  soon,  is  1:  has  been  in 
the  past,  but  no  agreement  is  possible  be- 
tween the  marine  intere'sts  and  the  season 
will  open  when  the  ice  goes  out.  regardless 
<•♦■  any  efforts  that  may  be  made  to  the 
contrary 

The  Minnesota  Iron  company  has  sold 
l.(nx).O0<)  tons  of  ore  for  18.**  deliverj-  to  the 
IMir.ois  Steel  company,  at  a  price  not 
sta'eri.  The  ownership  of  the  Minnesota 
and  Illirols  companies  is  practically  the 
same  and  it  is  to  the  vital  interest  of  the 
Illinois  Steel  company  to  secure  cheap 
ore.  The  Carnegie  oompany  will  mine 
I>ractically  all  its  own  ore  this  year,  for 
tl>?  first  season  and  If  the  Illinois  "company 
was  compelled  to  pay  materially  higher 
prices  for  ore  than  the  Curnegie  company, 
the  former  concern  would  be  placed  at  a 
gr€t.t  dl.sadvantage  In  the  sharp  struggle 
foi-  business  supremacy  now  in  progress 
bfiween   these   two  gigantic   corporations 

The  Minnesota  Iron  company  earner]  (j 
p?r  cept  on  Its  capitalization  last  vear 
and  should  earn  7  or  8  this  sea-son.  The 
r-isimption  of  dividends  in  July  is  con- 
sidere  i   probable. 

The  reopening  of  the  Swanzey  mine  has 
been  begun  and  the  property  will  cut  a 
reapfctable  figure  upon  the  records  of  this 
years   production. 

The  suspr^nsion  of  operations  at  the 
Jackson  mine.  Negaunee,  is  merely  tempo- 
rary. 

No  arrangements  have  vet  been  made 
for  resumption  at  the  Buffalo  group.  Ne- 
gaunee. The  mines  will  probably  start  up 
about  April  1. 

Pumping  and  bailing  are  gradually  low- 
ering the  water  at  the  Cliff  shaft  mine  of 
this  place.  Full  mining  work  can  hardly 
be-  in  progress  before  the  opening  of  nav- 
igation. 

J'li«>  Cleveland-Cliffs  company  is  rebui!d- 
ln;t  its  ore  crushers  and  will  in  future  g»  t 
much  more  economical  work  from  them 
than  has  been  secured  hitherto.  ,Th'- 
Clian.plon  mine  has  a  v**ry  successful 
tri'shing  plant  and  the  Pittsburg  and 
I>akt  Angel. n?  company  is  getting  excel- 
lent results   from  Its  crushers. 

HORACK    J.    STEVENS. 


The  clouds 
have  hardly  held 
more  rain  drops 
than  the  tears 
which  hare  fallen 
from  women's 
eyes.  There  is  a 
world  of  truth  in 
the  old  song' 
which  said:  "Man 
must  work,  and 
woman  must 
weep."  Wojuen 
must  weep  not 
only  for  the  troub- 
les and  ills  of 
those  they  love, 
but  because  of 
jthe  physical  ajr- 
ony  and  suffering 
that  they  thera- 
.selves  endure  in 
silence. 

Nine-tenths  of 
the  pain  and  suf- 
fering that  wo- 
men undergo 
could  be  avoided 
by  a  little  knowl- 
edge, and  a  resort  to  the  right  remedy. 
When  a  woman  feels  weak,  sick,  nervous, 
fretful  and  despondent,  and  suffers  from 
pains  in  the  back  and  sides,  and  burning 
and  draggitig  down  sensations,  she  i"  suf- 
fering from  weakness  and  disease  of  the 
distinctly  femiTiine  organism.  Dr.  Pierce'd 
Favorite  Prescription  is  the  best  of  all 
medicines  for  ailing  women.  It  acts  di- 
rectly and  only  on  the  delicate  and  import- 
ant organs  that  make  maternity  possible. 
It  makes  ihent  strong  and  well.  It  allaj'S 
inQammation,  heals  ulceration,  soothes 
pain,  and  tones  the  nerves.  It  does  away 
with  the  usual  discomforts  of  the  timorous 
period,  atid  makes  baby's  coming  easy  and 
almost  painless.  It  is  the  discovery  of  Dr. 
R.  V.  Pierce,  an  eminent  and  skillful  spe- 
cialist, for  thirty  years  chief  consulting 
physician  to  the  Invalids'  Hotel  and  Sur- 
gical Institute,  at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.  No  honest 
dealer  will  urge  a  substitute  for  this  su- 
perior medicine. 

"  I  cannot  .say  too  much  for  Dr.  Pierce's  Favor- 
ite Prescription,"  writes  Mi.-^.^  Clara  Baird,  of 
Bridgeport,  Montgomtn.-  Co.,  Pa.  "1  cannot 
praise  it  too  highly  for  the  good  it  did  me.  If 
any  one  doubts  tliis  g^ive  them  my  name  Mnd 
address."

relative  to  the  base  ore.  is  precisely  the 
same  as  that  employed  last  year,  the 
phosphjoruA  table,  which,  on  its\  first 
ai'pearance  in  1897.  was  counted  a  tri- 
umph of  mathematics  as  applied  to  the 
accurate  measurement  of  mi.xture  values, 
being  retained  In  its  original  form.  Each 
ore  takes  the  place  to  which  it  is  enti- 
tled by  the  average  analyses  of  1S97.  01 
such  as  the  producer  will  guarantee  foi- 
ISfts.  It  is  not  to  be  inferred  that  there  is 
a  horizontal  advance  of  1.')  cents  from  the 
1S97  price,  or  even  an  average  advance 
of  1,1  cents.  Ores  run  higher  or  lower  in 
phosphorus  or  iron  in  one  year,  thai  in 
the  preceding,  as  the  deposit  improyt-s 
or  deteriorates.  It  happens  thus  that  one 
ore  on  the  ISltS  list  is  2  cents  a  ton  lower 
than  In  1897.  In  another  case  where  the 
average  of  1S97  aixalyses  shows  a  con- 
siderable improvement,  there  is  an  ad- 
vance of  22  cents.  The  price  schedule  is 
thus  an  accurate  index  of  the  rtlative 
values  of  the  different  ores  as  they  will 
cjnie  upon  the  market  in  1898. 

The  estimated  output  for  the  vear  is 
a  trifle  over  6.000,000  tons  of  old-range  Bes- 
semers—or  such  as  will  enter  the  Bes- 
semer mixtures— the  old  phosphorus  limit 
of  .07  being  retiUned.  Several  ores  are  In- 
cluded In  the  schedule  for  1S98  that  were 
not  there  in  1897— the  Rex  grade  of  thte 
Chapin's  product,  and  the  Old  Mine 
Hematite,  for  example.  The  total  of  such 
ores  Is  600.000  to  700.000  tons.  Putting  Me- 
saba ores  at  last  year's  output,  about 
4.2<X>.000  tons,  and  making  an  allowance  for 
scale,  mill  cinder,  etc..  it  is  estimated 
that  the  material  going  into  furnaces 
running  on  I^ke  Superior  Be.ssemer  ores 
Is  now  equivalent  to  11.000.000  tons  of  ore 
per  year.  How  much  bevond  the  1897  total 
of  12,500,000  tons  the  figures  for  1898  will 
go.  is  now  only  a  matter  of  conjecture. 

It  will  be  understood,  from  what  is  said 
above,  that  the  Mesaba  range  is  to  take 
the  course  of  last  year.  Already  some- 
thing- like  1.000,000  tons  of  Minnesota  Iron 
company  Mesaba  ores  have  been  bought 
by  the  Illinois  Steel  company.  It  is  be- 
lieved the  prices  in  this  deal,  while  not 
absolutely  fixei  as  yet.  will  give  the  Chi- 
cago Interest  Mesaba  ores  at  practically 
the  same  cost  as  the  leading  Pittsburg  in- 
terest commands  through  mine  owner- 
shiD.  It  is  to  be  expected  that  trans- 
actions In  old-range  Bessemers  will  fol- 
low soon  upon  the  completion  of  the  fig- 
uring of  prices;  the  schedules  will  he  fin- 
ished probably  within  ten  days.  The  (jues- 
tlon  of  lake  freights  is  discussed  in  only  a 
tentati\e  way.  The  early  charters  of  70 
cents  last  year  were  followed  soon  after 
by  65-cent  charters  to  Nov.  1.  with  60 
cents  as  the  rate  to  Sept.  1.  No  great 
departure  from  a  K-cent  basis  is  antici- 
pated for  1>*98  bu.-iness.

COMPITING  I  HE  PRICES. 


Party  Numberinq   Thirteen    Eoolishly 
Starts  For  Klondike. 

Montreal,  Feb.  19.— Thirteen  young 
Englishmen  left  here  Dec.  13  last  for 
the  Klondike.  Since  their  departure 
they  have  had  all  kinds  of  bad  luck 
From  Montreal  they  proceeded  to  Ed- 
monton. N.  W.  T.  A  few  days  after 
thfir  arrival,  Capt.  Alleyne,  died  of 
pneumonia,  contracted  by  venturing 
out  when  the  temperature  was  20  de- 
grees below  zero.  Dr.  Hoops,  another 
member  of  the  party  fell  and  badly 
sprained  his  ankle  a  few  day.s  later. 
Then  Capt.  Powell,  while  on  a  short 
trip  into  the  country,  had  his  feet  badly 
frozen.  An  English  colonel,  who  was 
one  of  the  ill-fated  thirteen,  broke  his 
arm.  Capt.  Powell  left  the  party  and 
proceeded  to  Vancouver.  Three  day.s 
later  he  died. 

Then  Dr.  Hoops  met  with  another  ac- 
cident by  falling  across  a  dog  sleigh 
and  breaking  his  ribs.  Then  a  Mr.  Can- 
nerman,  another  of  the  party  was  ar- 
rested at  the  instance  of  Capt.  O'Brien 
on  a  charge  of  embezzlement.  Capt. 
O'Brien,  who  had  assumed  leadership 
of  the  party  was  arrested  on  a  charge 
of  assault  for  attempting  to  stab  a  man 
in  his  employ.  The  captain  has  just 
been  bound  over  to  keep  the  peace  and 
the  party  is  broken  up. 


IMMENSE  DREDGE  SCHEME. 


The  Phosphorus  Table   Retained   In 
Its  Original  Form. 

Cleveland.  F'eb.  19.— The  Iron  Trade  Re- 
view says:  The  meeting  on  last  Saturday 
of  Bessemer  ore  producers  of  all  Lake 
Superior  ranges  except  the  Mesaba  has 
put  the  ore  situation  in  definite  shape 
ff.r  1'^'J>  The  advance  in  price  is  prac- 
tically that  indicated  heretofore.  The  sup- 
positious ore  taken  as  the  basis  of  cal- 
culations containing  fiZ  per  cent  of  iron. 
.0!'>  per  cent  phosphorus  and  10  per  cent 
natural  moisture,  will  sell  at  $2.75  per  ton, 
instead  of  the  $2.60  of  last  year.  This  con- 
servative advance  is  not  likely  to  tempt 
manv  Idle  properties  to  became  active, 
being  but  a  trifle  more  than  the  Increase 
in    label     cost    already    made.

Enterprising    Canuck   Secures   Valu- 
able Concession   In  Alaska. 

Montreal,  Feb.  19.— Joseph  A.  Mer- 
cler,  brother  of  the  late  premier,  backed 
by  immense  capital,  has  just  conclud- 
ed a  deal  with  the  government  by  which 
he  has  the  sole  right  to  dredge  280  miles 
of  the  river  in  the  heart  of  the  Klon- 
dike district.  The  arrangement  is  from 
five  to  thirty  miles  each  of  the  fourteen 
rivers  in  the  Klondike.  An  immense 
sum  of  money  has  been  paid  for  the 
privileges,  but  the  present  owners  have 
no  intention  of  operating  themselves. 
The  idea  is  simply  to  launch  the  scheme 
on  the  London  and  American  markets 
and  Mr.  Mercter  says  while  for  the  pres- 
ent the  names  of  the  men  Interested  are 
not  to  bf  made  public,  they  are  mostly 
of  New  York  and  it  will  be  mostly  New 
York  money  that  will  handle  the  deal 
for  the  present.

John    Owens*    Interview  on 
County's  Agricultural  Pos- 
sibilities Brings  Returns. 


NECESSARY  TO  WORK 


County  Must  Work  to  Have 

Its  lands  Taken  By 

Settlers. 


Recently  The  Herald  published  an  in- 
terview with  John  Owens,  clerk  of  the 
district  court,  in  which  he  spoke  of  the 
agrlcultinal  resources  of  the  county  of 
.=!t,   Louis  in   glowing  terms,   and   dw-'It 

upon  the  po.saibllities  of  the  county  in 
that  line.  Already  that  interview  has 
horn  fruit,  though  of  course  the  response 
to  such  advertising  is  not  as  ready  as 
that  of  the  merchant  who  advertises  in 
The  Herald  that  he  has  reduced  the 
price  on  his  best  silks  a  very  large  per 
cent  per  yard.  But  It  has  its  effect,  and 
without  advertising  there  is  little  hope 
of  settling  up  the  county,  except  in  the 
slowest  manner.  Recently  Mr.  Owens 
received  word  from  the  publishers  of  u 
Scandinavian  paper  in  one  of  the  Twin 
Cities  that  it  had  republished  the  most  of 
The  Herald  article,  and  that  it  would 
like  to  see  him  and  get  some  more  of  the 
sanje.  The  writer  stated  that  his  paper 
had  been  flooded  with  Inquiries  from 
Scandinavians  In  different  parts  of  the 
country  relating  to  the  article.  The  in- 
quirers want  to  know  the  price  of  land, 
how  to  get  it,  how  to  get  to  Duluth,  and 
many  other  facts,  and  the  newspaper- 
man did  not  hesitate  to  say  that  it  would 
be  very  ea.sy  to  get  a  colony  of  Scandi- 
navians to  locate  on  land  in  this  vicinity 
if  right  means  are  pursued  to  get  them. 

In  addition  to  those  already  in  this 
country,  immigration  agents  say  that 
there  is  going  to  be  a  rush  of  immigra- 
tion to  this  country  again  this  year,  par- 
ticularly frc<m  the  Scandinavian  coun- 
tries. The  rush  from  these  lands  fell  nft 
about  the  beginning  of  the  panic  of  1893, 
and  It  never  recovered  Its  former  volume. 
This  was  because  the  Scandinavians 
were  warned  by  their  fellows  in  this 
country  that  conditions  were  not  such  as 
to  warrant  their  coming,  and  they  have 
been  waiting  evtr  since  for  the  return  of 
good  times.  The  Herald  has  told  often 
about  the  annual  fall  pilgrimages  of  the 
Scandinavian  and  other  foreign-born 
residents  of  this  country  to  spend  their 
winters  In  their  native  land.?.  This  took 
place  this  year  as  usual,  and  the.  pilgrims 
took  with  them  much  better  reports  of 
conditions  In  this  country,  and  especially 
of  th^  Northwest.  At  the  time  these 
people  left  there  was  an  abundance  of 
work  In  the  vicinity,  and  the  pilgrims 
told  their  friends  at  home  about  it.  As  a 
consequence  the  Immigration  agents  here 
and  elsewhere  have  been  receiving  many 
inquiries  from  the  old  world,  which  indi- 
cate that  large  numbers  are  preparing 
to  make  the  trip  to  the  land'of  the  freo 
next  spring. 

Many  of  these  will  come  to  the  North- 
west, and  if  an  effort  Is  made  they  may 
be  Induced  to  locate  In  this  vicinity.  They 
make  good  citizens,  and  will  build  up  the 
country  back  of  Duluth  in  a  permanent 
«r>anner  that  will  leave  something  when 
the  forests  of  pine  are  stripped  away 
and  the  mines  exhausted. 

"If  we  take  the  view,"  said  Mr.  Owens 
to  The  Herald  the  other  day,  "that  these 
great  natural  resources  are,  to  be  likened 
unto  a  great  inheritance,  we  as  a  city 
will  be  like  the  heirs  that  spend  the 
principal  of  their  inheritance.  One  day 
we  will  wake  up  and  find  that  we  are 
at  the  bottom  of  the  purse,  as  I  said  be- 
fore. We  can  live  for  many  years  In 
this  way,  but  the  end  must  come  some- 
time. I  am  in  favor  of  attempting  to 
get  settlers  for  this  county  to  build  it  up 
and  make  smiling  and  fertile  the  wastes 
left  when  the  ax  of  the  woodsman  haa 
passed.  Some  effort  should  be  made  to 
attract  these  newcomers. 

"The  prosperity  of  Two  Harbors  and 
the  range  towns  means  added  prosperity 
for  Duluth.  and  In  order  that  the.se 
places  should  enjoy  the  measure  of  pros- 
perity their  sit.ua^tior<6  entitle  them  to 
they  must  be  enabled  to  procure  a  large 
part  of  their  food  supplies  from  farms  in 
their  vicinity.  Every  person  north  ot 
Duluth  contributes  t»  the  support  of  the 
city  more  than  any  that  are  located  to 
the  south.  The  millions  of  dollars  that 
are  paid  out  by  the  people  of  St.  Louin 
county  to  producers  south  and  southwest 
of  here  go  to  the  support  of  other  cltleS 
instead  of  circulating  about  here  to 
loosen  things  up.  consequently  we  nevei 
?ee  the  same  dollar  twice. 

"Another  thing  is  that  we  should  nc 
longer  depend  upon  the  state  immigra 
tion  board,  for  as  long  as  it  is  located  In 
at.  Paul  It  will  not  trouble  Itself  to  send 
settlers  here.  Our  own  public  bodieb 
should  take  the  matter  up  in  a  syste- 
matic way,  with  the  co-operation  of  the 
business  men  generally.  Sorrte  money 
will  be  required  to  advertise  among  th>! 
more  thickly  settled  farming  districts  ot 
the  East,  where  men  who  have  been 
schooled  in  the  practical  science  of  farm- 
ing from  their  boyhood  will  be  glad  to 
avail  themselves  of  what  we  have  to 
offer,  if  they  knew  the  facts.  Advertis- 
ing in  the  cities  would  do  no  good,  for  it 
is  not  sailors,  miners  or  tradesmen  that 
are  needed,  but  practical  farmers.  I  feel 
satisfied  that  if  Duluth  takes  hold  of  the 
matter  the  railroads  owning  lands  here 
will  aid,  as  they  did  In  the  Dakotas. 

"Duluth  has  a  great  future  before  her 
if  she  will  dispel  all  of  her  illusions  and 
devote  her  energies  to  developing  ma- 
terial things.  One  well  established 
creamery  within  ten  or  fifteen  miles  ot 
the  city  would  mean  more  to  Duluth 
than  two  office  buildings  costing  $100,000 
each,  and  built  on  borrowed  money,  with 
interest  going  to  Eastern  capital."

TACOMA  LOSLS  HEAVILY. 


City    Must.    Stand    For  Treasurer's 
Fraudulent  Schemes. 

Tacoma,  Wash.,  Feb.  19.— An  Olympla 
special  to  the  Ledger  says:  The  su- 
preme court  has  handed  down  a  decision 
in  the  case  entitled  M.  C.  Rardsley  vs. 
Sternberg,  treasurer,  appealed  from 
Pierce  county  on  a  rehearing,  which 
practically  reverses  Its  forrrwr  findings 
and  makes  good  about  $600,000  outstand- 
ing Tacoma  warrants,  which  the  court 
previously  held,  had  been  paid  and  the 
obligation  disc-harged. 

These  warrants  were  paid  by  the  city 
treasurer,  and  staimped  unpaid  for  want 
of  funds  and  carried  as  cash,  and  subse- 
quently deposited  in  a  bank  to  his 
credit  af  treasurer  and  the  money  sub- 
sequently drawn  out  in  the  ordinary 
course  of  business. 

The  court  holds  that  the  treasurer 
acted  as  th-  agent  of  the  city  and,  hav- 
ing received  the  benefit  of  the  money  the 
city  is  responsible  to  the  present  holders 
of   the  wan-ants. 


A  BARBAROUS  SURGICAL  OPERATION 


For  the  Cure  of  Piles 

Is  not  only  intensely  painful,  dan.gerous 
to  life.and  Aeryexpenslve,but  in  the  light 
of  modern  medical  research  and  since 
the  discovery  of  the  Pyramid  Pile  Cure 
a  surgical  operation  Is  wholly  unneces- 
sary. If  you  have  any  doubt  on  the 
point  kindly  read  the  following  letters

night.  It  did  me  more  good  than  any- 
thing I  have  ever  found  yet,  and  re- 
member this  was  the  result  of  one 
night's  treatment  only. 

From  Penn  W.  Arnett.  Batesville, 
Ark.:  Gentemen — Your  Pyrapiid  Pile 
Cure  has  done  me  so  much  go-od  In  so 
short  a  time  that  my  son-in-law,  Capt. 
T.  J.  Klein  of  Fort  Smith,  Ark.,  has 
written  to  me  for  your  address,  as  he 
wishes  to  iry  It  also. 

From  A.  E.  Townsend,  BenvUle,  Ind.: 
I  have  been  so  much  benefited  by  the 
Pyramid  Pile  Cure  that  I  enclose  $1 
for  which  jilease  send  a  package  which 
I  wish  to  give  to  a  friend  of  mine  who 
suffers  verj'  much  from  piles. 

From  Jolin  H.  Wright,  Clinton,  De- 
Witt  count;.-.  111.:  I  am  so  well  pleased

it  but  right  to  drop  you  a  few  lines  to 
inform  you  its  effects  have  been  .ill 
that  I  could  ask  or  wish. 

From  P.  A.  Bruton,  Blano.  Texas: 
Gentlemen— The  Pyramid  Pile  Cure  has 
done  so  much  good  for  me  that  I  will 
say  for  the  benefit  of  others  that  after 
using  only  two  days  I  am  better  than 
I  have  been  for  months.

by  the  Pyramid  Drug  company,  of 
Marshall,  Mich.,  and  It  is  truly  a  won 
derful  remedy  for  all  forms  of  piles.

all  parts  of  the  country  that  they  have 
decided  to  publish  each  w-eek  a  num- 
ber of  such   letters.

Pile  Cure,  as  they  know  froip  what 
their  customers  say  that  no  remedy

HIBBING 
MENJIELD 

Three    Counterfeiters   Must 

Answer  to  the  Federal 

Grand  Jury. 


STRONG  TESTIMONY 


Spurious    Money    Found    In 

Their  Possession — Range 

Witnesses  Testify. 


James  King,  Mike  Kinney  and  Will- 
iam O'Brien,  the  Hibbing  men  who  are 
accused  of  making  and  pa.ssing  counter- 
felt  dollars,  had  their  hearing  before 
Court  Commissioner  T.  Waldo  Murphy 
of  Hibbing,  yesterday  afternoon,  and 
were  bound  over  to  the  n^t  grand  Jury 
of  the  federal  court,  which  meets  here 
In  May.  The  hearing  t(X)k  place  in  the 
federal  building,  and  bail  was  fixed  at 
$2000  for  King  and  ^liJOO  for  the  others. 
"The  government  was  represented  at  the 
hearing  by  District  Attorney  Stringer 
and  Kinney  and  King  were  represented 
by  M.  H.  Cr(x.'ker,  and  O'Brien  by  Al- 
bert Baldwin.  All  three  men  were 
charged  with  manufacturing  counter- 
feit coins,  and  King  and  Kinney  were 
charged  in  addition  with  passing  them. 

All  of  the  witnesses  against  the  de 
fendants,  with  the  exception  of  G.  W. 
Lawrence,  if  the  United  States  secr?t 
service,  were  from  Hibbing  and  Vir- 
ginia, where  the  alleged  counterfeiters 
are  accused  of  conducting  their  opera- 
tions. The  three  defendant's  are  to  all 
appearances  ordinary  woodmen,  though 
King  and  Kinney  have  rather  unprepos- 
sessing countenances. 

J.  D.  Taylor,  of  Virginia,  was  the  first 
witness.  He  is  the  assistant  county  at- 
torney for  the  range  towns,  and  he 
identified  a  bad  dollar  that  had  been 
found  In  King's  possession  when  he  was 
seaix-hed  at  the  Hibbing  jail.  Dennis 
Haley,  marshal  of  Hibbing,  testified  that 
when  the  train  arrived  at  Hibbing  on 
the  day  of  the  arrest  of  the  men  Mr 
Taylor  told  him  that  there  were  twr 
counterfeiters  on  the  train.  They  proved 
to  be  King  and  Kinney  and  they  wen 
placed  under  arrest.  When  searched  a 
spurious  dollar  was  found  on  King,  and 
in  his  pocket  was  a  recipe  for  silvering 
metal. 

Dora  Wilson,  keeper  of  a  resort  at 
Hibbing,  was  called  as  a  witness.  The 
defendants  met  with  their  trouble  in 
her  resort  where  they  went  to  dance 
with  the  girls  and  patronize  the  bar. 
The  witness  testified  that  on  the  even- 
ing of  Feb.  8.  King  and  Kinney  visited 
her  place,  and  that  while  there  they  had 
spent  nothing  but  sliver  dollars.  She 
could  not  say  whether  the  doUars  they 
spent  were  bad  or  not,  but  she  found 
eight  counterfeit  dollars  in  her  ca^h 
that  night.  Both  the  witness  and  her 
bartender  testified  that  the  defendants 
used  nothing  but  silver  dollars  that 
night.  There  were  thirteen  silver  dol- 
lars in  the  cash,  and  but  five  of  them 
were  good.  The  dances  were  2,t  cents 
so  each  time  the  defendants  received  75 
cents  in  change. 

Gladys  Kingston,  an  inmate  of  the  re 
sort,  testified  that  she  danced  with  each 
of  the  two  defendants  King  and  Kin- 
ney, and  that  both  presented  silver  dol- 
lars in  payment  for  their  dances.  Dora 
Wallman  testified  further  that  it  w-af 
after  midnight  when  the  dancing  was 
over  and  she  found  that  she  had  been 
taken  in.  She  Immediately  sent  the  bad 
coins  to  the  chief  of  police,  who  could 
not  be  found.  This  led  to  the  suspicion 
against  the  two  men.  however,  and  theii 
subsequent  arrest. 

Neither  of  the  women  or  Edward 
Kunzelman,  their  bartender,  had  seen 
O'Brien.  Dora  Wallman  was  positive 
that  King  passed  over  two  of  the  dol- 
lars at  her  place,  w-hile  the  bartender 
.said  that  the  two  defendants  were  the 
only  ones  he  changed  silver  dollars 
for. 

Policeman  John  McHale,  of  Hibbing 
said  that  he  knew  all  of  the  defendants 
and  that  he  had  known  O'Brien  ant 
King  for  two  years  and  a  half  and  Kin- 
ney for  a  year  and  a  half.  He  did  no< 
know  the  occupations  of  the  men  ex- 
cept that  Kinney  had  occasionally 
worked  in  the  woods.  He  with  other? 
visited  the  shack  occupied  by  the  de- 
fendants twelve  miles  from  Hibbing 
after  their  arrest.  Among  other  thing? 
they  found  bottles  containing  prepara- 
tions for  silver-plating  with  a  battery 
babbit  metal  and  various  chemicals.  A 
pair  of  overalls  belonging  to  O'Brien 
were  found,  and  in  them  was  one  of  th? 
dollars. 

On  cross-examination  Attorney  Bald 
win   asked   the  witness   if  O'Brien    war 
not  known  as  a  hunter,  and  he  siud  tha' 
he  1>elieved   that  he  was. 

The  next  witness  was  Bryan  O'Rourke 
who  assisted  in  arresting  O'Brien.  In 
talking  with  him  while  McHale  went  ti 
hide  .some  snowshoes  O'Brien  admitted 
that  he  lived  with  King  and  Kinney 
The  witness  said  that  O'Brien  clalmec' 
to  be  a  hunter,  but  he  did  not  have  that 
reputation  at  Hibbing.  \ 

Richard  Geary,  a  Hibbing  jeweler 
testified  that  he  had  examined  thf 
chemicals  and  battery  found  in  the  de- 
fendant's shack,  and  that  they  werf 
used  for  silver-plaiting.  He  said  that 
he  had  tested  them,  and  he  produced  e 
piece  of  brass  that  he  had  plated  with 
silver  by  their  use. 

G.  W.  Lawrence,  of  the  United  State? 
secret  service,  identified  the  material' 
found  in  the  shack,  and  said  that  th 
dollars  that  were  In  evidence  were 
counterfeit.  He  said  that  they  wen 
made  of  a  combination  of  block  tin  and 
antimony,   silver-plaied. 

When  the  evidence  was  all  in  Attor- 
ney Crocker  said  that  there  was  no  evi- 
dence to  hold  King,  and  he  asked  that 
he  be  released.  Commissioner  Murphy 
thought  there  was  enoug^h  to  hold  all 
of  them,  and  he  referred  them  to  the 
next  grand  jury. 

CURLY-HAIRED  JURORS. 
There  Is  a  well  defined  prejudice 
against  curly-haired  men  when  it 
comes  to  choosing  a  jury  to  tr>-  crimi- 
nal cases,  says  the  New  Orleans  Times- 
Democrat.  The  prejudice,  when  It  Is 
manifested,  comes  from  the  defense. 
When  asked  to  explain  the  objection  to 
curly-haired  rrven.  a  prominent  practi- 
tioner yesterday  said:  "When  I  was 
just  starting  my  legal  mentor  inculcated 
that  Idea  to  me.  He  said  that  curly- 
haired  men  had  almost  invariably  been 
the  pampered  darlings  of  their  parents, 
and  in  their  youths  had  been  so  used 
to  having  their  own  way  that  they  had 
come  to  believe  that  everybody  on  earth 
was  wrong  except  themselves.  In  this 
way  the  seeds  of  opposition  were  sown, 
and  when  they  grow  older  they  make  a 
point  to  disagree  with  everybody  and 
everything.  If  everybody  else  on  the 
jury  votes  for  acquittal  they  vote  for 
convlctlot*  as  a  matter  of  course.  They 
live  on  combat  and  are  as  stubborn  as 
the  days  are  long.  A  curly-haired  man 
never  gets  on  the  jury  when  I  am  de- 
fending a  man  If  I  can  see  him  in 
tlm€."

AT  SEA  ON  A  BEER  KEG. 

drifted  Thirty   Miles   and   Surprised 
Ihose  Who  Were  Mourning. 

■\V.  W.  Perkins,  a  lawyer* of  Macon,  h.id  ^ 
an   experience    this   week    that    rivals   fic- 
tion in  its  thrilling  features  and  especially 
in  the  hairbreadth  escape  from  a  grave  in 
the  -jcean,  says  the  Atlanta  Jounial. 

A  few  days  ago  a  party  consisting  of 
Mr.  Perkins,  with  his  father,  W.  G.  War- 
nell,  Troy  Warnell  and  J.  A.  Perkins,  of 
Hogan,  Ga..  and  Don  Frazier,  solicitor  of 
;he  countv  court,  Billy  Sallet.  Jr.,  a  sailor. 
Lonnia  Daniel  and  an  old  negro  of  Liberty 
countv,  went  to  Ossabaw  island,  off  the 
Georgia  coast,  for  a  week's  hunt.  They 
had  a  roval  good  time,  with  nothing  to 
mar  their"  pleasure  until  after  being 
there  ^several  days  they  started  up  the 
coast   111  an  open  sloop-rigged   boat. 

Just  before  nightfall  there  suddenly 
arose  a  violent  squall,  which  rendered  the 
boat  unmanageable  and  carried  them 
twenty-five  miles  out  to  sea.  damagmg 
the  boat  to  some  extent  and  disabling 
her.  The  seas  were  running  mountain 
high  and  the  frail  craft  tossed  about  Irom 
wave  to  wave,  threatening  every  moment 
to  capsize  and  consign  its  helpless  occu- 
pants to  a  watery  grave.  As  the  J»ea  grew 
rougber.  the  boat  shipped  more  and  more 
water.  Mr.  Perkins.  Jr..  believing  that  It 
would  s(K)n  go  under,  seized  a  beer  keg 
which  chanced  to  be  in  tho  boat  and 
leaped  overbciard.  He  was,  of  course,  sixm 
separated  from  the  boat. 

All  through  the  darkness  of  that  night 
he  drifted,  with  no  knowledge  of  the  di- 
rection in  which  he  was  going.  Buffeted 
by  the  waves  and  chilled  by  the  ley  winds, 
he  clung  to  tho  keg  as  his  sole  hope  of 
life  As  dav  l)egnn  to  dawn  Mr.  Perknis 
saw  that  he  was  approaching  shore,  .ind 
soon,  to  his  great  Joy.  his  fee:  touched 
ground  He  was  still  a  quarter  of  a  mile 
from  shore,  and  after  a  time  he  was 
enabled  to  reach  U.  He  could  not  tel 
whether  he  was  still  on  the  island  or  had 
drifted  to  the  mainland.  Fully  satisfied 
that  he  was  the  only  survivor  of  the  jKirty 
Mr  Perkins  slowly  wended  his  way  down 
the    beach    in    the   hope    of    finding    some 

*In  fhe'^mcantime  the  remainder  of  the 
nartv  had  stuck  to  the  boat,  and  rerigglng 
the  sails,  managed  to  reach  shore  alwut 
9  o'clock  that  night.  They,  of  course  grave 
UD  Mr.  Perkins  as  drowned,  and  sat  all 
night  grieving  his  loss  and  marveling  at 
"hiir  own  e.scape.  Mr.  Perkins,  Sr  ha^ 
gathered  together  from  the  boat  the  ef- 
fect" of  his  lost  son.  and  was  preparing 
to  take  them  with  him  as  treasure  me- 
mentoes, when  lo!  they  saw  a  pedestrian 
making  his  painful  way  toward  them, 
and  coming  near  they  recognized  In  hlra 
the  one  they  mourned.

of  eleven  horses  at  a  point  three  miles

portant measures  before  congress,  all  of 
which  have  a  likelihood  of  passing.  Mr. 
Knowles  thinks  that  Deadwiwd  wil  gv-t 
the  first  appropriation  for  a  public  build- 
ing the  probable  amount  being  $200.0("0.

A  PANIC  BY  SHORTS 


Leiter  Wheat  Sold  In  Europe 

and  All   Rail   Shipments 

from  Duluth. 


For  about  thir.y  minutes  today  the 
wheat  market  at  Chicago  was  the  scene 
of  more  excitement  than  has  been  wit- 
nessed s!nce  the  bull  campaljfn  started 
months  ;iEo.  May  at  one  time  .-sold  at 
$1.1^.  the  hiRhcst  point  reached  duriUK  th.^ 
rectnt  squetze  in.  December  and  an  ad- 
vance of  o^c  over  yesterday's  flgures. 
July  hsowed  equal  strength.  brinRinj; 
}»4i;c.  whin  May  was  at  its  highest  jioint. 
The  marke:  was  strong  from  the  start  on 
ii>ptirmation  of  the  reportet)  sales  In  Ku- 
r«ipe  of  4.000.»t«X^  bus  of  Letter's  wheat  and 
on  reports  of  shipment  of  .'jOO.iHW  bus  of 
L.itcr  wheat  at  Dululh  all  rail  to  the 
s  al"iard.  About  an  hour  fr«>m  ".he  dost- 
an  attrmrt  to  protect  weekly  calls 
lir.>u};ht  out  the  fact  that  the  market  was 
pracitcally  bare  of  offerings.  Prices  began 
to  advance  rapidiv  imder  a.ixious  bidding. 
At  the  same  time  Allen  &  llrier,  Leiter  s 
brok->rs.  crowded  July.  Calls  for  margins 
came  In  and  the  pit.  from  a  condition  df 
comparative  »iuiet.  became  a  perfect  bed- 
lam It  was  impossible  to  buy  wheat  and 
prirts  jumped  half  a  cent  a;  a  time  as  the 
shorts  tried  to  cover.  At  the  top  the  longs 
realized  heavily  and  prices  broke  sharply, 
but  the  shorts  had  been  so  thoroughly 
frightened  that  Huciuations  were  rapid 
and  violent  to  the  close.  May  wound  up 
at  II. W  bid.  a.j  advanrc  for  the  day  of  2^.iC. 
Julv  closed  31-c  higher  at  92S»c. 

The  last  weeks  trading  In  wheat  has 
luen  remarkable  for  the  fact  tha;  the 
highest  nrices  for  May  wh-'at  since  the 
seasi>n  of  l-vHl  have  been  reached.  From 
a  closing  of  <*:%'*« "<,c  a  week  ago  the  mar- 
ket advanced  steadily  to  Thursday.  May 
stliing  or  that  day  at  *1.06>t.  and  ever 
bringing  a  cent  more  than  tha:  flgur,  on 
"lurb."  A  sharp  reaction  followt-d  late 
Thursdav  and  on  Friday.  but  another 
bii'ge  occurreil  today  and  May  closed  at 
Chieago  at  an  advanie  of  sv^c  over  last 
vtfk.  July  drjgge«l  until  the  middb'  of  thi- 
WK'k  wh'n  i:  too  moved  up  and  rt-ai  t-d 
sharpiv  again,  also  biKunlng  today  and 
the  wVek'^  advance  being  i>=>ijc.  To  to 
Thursdav  there  was  apparently  but  one 
factor  iri  the  market.  The  belltf  that  the 
er.ormous  line  of  whea:  Joseph  Leiter  Is 
carrying,  amounting  to  2o.0»i'i.0iXl  bus  it  is 
alleged,  gave  him  practical  cuntrul  of  the 
wlu.it  market  created  much  a;-.xiety 
ani.mg  shorts.  Much  difficulty  was  expe- 
rif-nced  in  covering  short  lines  and  on 
WedneSilav  the  demand  from  this  source 
alir.os:  assumed  the  proportions  of  a 
pr.i'ic  and  resulted  in  about  S^ic  advance 
in  both  Julv  and  May.  The  market  opened 
wil<l  on  Thursday,  but  the  advance  re- 
sulted In  enormous  quantities  of  wheat 
showing  heavv  protits  being  put  on  the 
mi.rket  and  prices  dropped  quickly.  The 
eflect  of  this  liquidation  wfus  notictabk- 
Friday.  Heavy  Argentine  shipments 
caused  a  renewal  of  selli.ng  and  <a  fur- 
ther decline,  the  weakness  being  espe- 
ciallv  noticeable  in  July.  Later  in  the 
dav  reports  for  the  taklne  of  ocean  freight 
room  for  T.iO.tKIO  bus  of  Leiter  wheat  for 
Liverpool  caused  a  rally,  the  market  clos- 
ing fairly  steady  and  today  shorts  again 
cat  sed  wild  excitement  and  a  sharp  rise. 
The  weeks  range  for  May  was  between 
t\M  and  97^(  and  for  July  between  94V;e. 
and   .S.i'^c. 

The  Chicago  Journal  today  says:  It  is 
prettv  well  established  in  Inside  circles 
abj.ut  the  board  of  trade  that  within  tthe 
past  ten  days  there  has  been  turned  Into 
cash  In  the  two  Chicago  banks  on  La 
Salle  street,  about  n.OOO.OOO  for  Joseph 
Leit^r's  account.  There  is  conflrmation  of 
lh<  sale  of  the  wheat.  Within  forty-eight 
hours  ocean  tonnage  has  been  taken  at 
very  low  rates  on  4.o<X».iX)0  bus  :o  the  lead- 
ing' English  ports.  Favore<l  people  who 
had  the  tip  on  the  heavy  deposits  with  the 
banks  were  getting  all  the  wheat  possi- 
ble on  soft  spots  yesterday. 

I:  was  said  on  the  Duluth  board  today 
that  Armour's  agent  was  at  work  here 
trying  to  buy  all  the  wheat  in  sight. 
Brokers,  supposed  to  be  acting  for  Arm- 
our advanced  th-j  premium  on  cash  stuff 
todav  to  I'xC  over  May  and  took  T.'j.iXX)  bus 
of  cash  stuff,  all  that  was  offered.  Then- 
was  a  fair  amount  of  trading  on  the  Du- 
luth board.  .May  wheat  opened  \'ac  higher 
at  9S"^c  and  sold  up  steadily  to  |1.00'4  at 
11  o'clock.  After  reacting  14c  it  jumped  to 
Jl.im'-..  dropped  to  il.OCH^.  recovered  to 
$l.i:xK  and  then  sold  down  to  $1.  Th^  close 
was  at  $1.  a  net  gain  of  l%c  for  the  day.

ON  THE  CHICAGO  BOARD. 


Leiter  Scared  the  Shorts  and  Prices 
Bounded   IJp. 

Chicago.  Feb.  19.— Th  ■  opening  In  wheat 
today  was  fjuiet  but  strong.  May  started 
at  $1,034  and  advanced  to  $1.05  under  a 
me.deivte    demand.    Offerings    wei^    quite 

scar' e.  The  feature  Wits  the  statement 
of  Joseph  Leiter  that  he  had  chartered 
almost  t.oOO.iWO  bus  ocean  freight  room, 
and  that  the  wheat  had  been  sold  m<'Stly 
to  millers  and  consumers,  which  dissi- 
pated the  reactionary  feeling  noticeable 
yesterday.  Following  yesterday's  decil:ie 
here  IJverp<X)l  was  \id  up  to  4d  lower, 
the  latter  for  September,  which  is  con- 
sidered a  strong  showing.  Northwest  re- 
ceipts were  242  cars  against  301  last  year. 
Chicago  received  eight-one  cars,  twenty- 
two  of  them  contract.  There  was  a  re- 
pcit  circulated  that  LeUer  will  sh.p  500.0<« 
bus  wheal  her*-  from  Duluth  all  rail.  May 
dr.jppcd  tb  $1.04'4  after  the  advance  to 
$l.fi.'.,  but  reacted  again  to  $1.05  and  kept 
tirm  within  a  fraction  of  tha:  figure. 
There  was  a  good  deal  of  trading  in  July. 
That  month  opened  4fj%c  higher  at  SS-i* 
(iiXn:.  and  advanced  to  9(Jc  under  a  good 
demand. 

dying  for  wheat  where  there  was  no 
whtal  soon  worked  the  shorts  Into  jje- 
riodical  fits  of  feverishness  and  moods  of 
howling.  After  the  price  of  May  had  hes- 
itated for  half  an  hour,  seemingly  uncer- 
tain whether  to  break  through  Its  early 
high  marl:  of  $1.0?'  or  go  back  to  where 
it  started  from.  George  French,  the  man- 
ager of  the  Leiter  d-al.  appeared  upon 
the  fioor  a.nd  distributed  a  few  buying  or- 
ders. For  half  an  hour  thereafter  there 
was  no  further  hesitation  as  to  the  ili- 
r,(tion  the  price  should  take.  1.  strjrtnd 
as  if  a  galvanic  batt  mv  had  suddenly  been 
applied  to  each  individual  trader  therein. 
The  various  movements  of  the  market  for 
thhj  ensuing  half  hour  were  such  as  are 
only  seen  wh-n  the  crowd  realize  they  are 
cornered  and  are  making  frantic  efforrs 
to  get  out.  The  price  of  May  was  reached 
in  '-2«  and  Ic  bounds  between  trades,  till 
it  reached  $1.09.  It  fell  prone  in  an  instant 
to  Jl.i/74.  rebounded  'jc  and  then  went 
bumping  to  il.i*",.  from  which  it  made  an- 
other rebound  to  $1.06.  It  petered  out  at 
that  price.  July  meanwhile  had  risen  to 
9441-  and  It  closed  at  92^-. 

Corn  was  only  moderately  active,  due  to 
the  scarcity  of  offerings.  This  and  tthe 
str  x)gth  of  wh^i^t  with  a  moderate  buying 
demand  forced  prices  up.  Receipts  were 
51.3  cars.  Tklay  opened  a  shade  higher  at 
:m>sc.  sold  at  304'a%c  and  advanced  to 
30"^c. 

Oats  were  very  strong,  showing  a  radi- 
cal change  since  yesterday.  There  was 
active  buying  from  all  sources  and  prices

Chicago.  Feb.  19.— Whe^t  today  opc:ied 
higher  with  very  lipht  trading  until  the 
rr.arket  finally  struck  9oc.  At  this  point 
shf»rls  started  to  cover  and  advanced 
Jvly  wheaf  to  iHc  an<l  May  to  $1.09.  Later 
July  reacted  to  91%c  and  May  to  $1,053^. 
closing  July  92c  and  May,  $1.06.  We  have 
had  a  very  wild  market  in  wheat  here  to- 
day but  believe  that  on  any  material  de- 
cline July  wheat  will  do  to  buy  as  It  looks 
•IS  though  the  clbiue  is  in  the  market  to 
stay.  They  have  sold  but  very  little 
wheat  todav  on  the  bulge.  The  vi.^lble 
will  likely  show  500,000  to  750,000  bus  de- 
ciea^fc. 

There  was  no  corn  for  sale  this  morning 
at  the  opei.lng,  by  that  we  mean  ther«?  was 
no  pressure  to  sell  i:.  At  IJO'ic  there  was  a 
little  corn  sold  that  was  bought  yesterday 
and  against  calls  bought  last  night.  Of 
course  the  market  was  helped  somewhat 
by  the  rapid  advance  in  wheat  but  the 
corn  market  is  very  strong.  Conditions 
warraiit  higher  prices  and  we  expect  to 
set'   them. 

O.ais  acted  strong.  They  scored  a  good 
advance.  1  he  demand  for  cash  oats  keeps 
up  e^c^lltnl. 

I'lovipfons  did  not  act  very  strong  today. 
!•  very  thing  considered  some  of  the  p;o- 
ple  who  have  been  most  i>ersw5tently  buil- 
i.ih  on  thf'  market  have  bt-en  sellers  for 
the  past  few  days,  and  as  you  can  see  by 
the  price  there  has  be«'n  enough  of  this 
fiass  of  selling  to  stop  an.v  advance. 
Pr'ces  are  no  higher  now  in  fact  not  as 
high  r.s  they  were  a  week  ago.  W»  rather 
feel  as  though  we  ought  to  have  a  little 
break.  By  that  we  do  not  meati  that  they 
are  high  enough  nor  do  we  advise  selling 
them  short.

NEW  YORK  ST 

OCKS 

Cuban    Difficulties     Continue    Their 
Disturbing  Influences. 

New  York,  Feb.  19.— The  tone  which 
has  characterized  the  market  during 
the  week  has  had  the  effect  of  dis- 
couraging further  speculative  ventures 
for  the  present  and  cotnparative  dull 
ness  has  intervened.  The  Cuban  situ- 
ation has  been  the  overshadowing  in- 
fluence in  the  market  and  prices  dropped 
easy  and  without  support  Monday,  .in 
fear  of  complications  over  the  De  Lome 
incident,  and  slumped  on  Wednesday 
on  the  terrible  disaster  to  the  Maine. 
and    the     international     complications 


likely  to  gn)w  out  of  it.  Thinly  rnar- 
giiu>l  accounts  were  wiped  out  by  these 
sharp  de-<line8  and  there  were  besides, 
large  amounts  of  stmks  dialcxiged,  e.-i- 
pecially  on  Wednesday,  l>ut  it  was  no- 
ticeable the  bears  were  prompt  to  cover 
their  short  contracts,  bringing  about 
sharp  rallies,  both  on  Tuesday  and  on 
Thursday. 

Jt  is  a  question  how  far  the  litiuida- 
tion  is  extended  beyond  the  thickly 
margined  and  weakly  held  speciukative 
holdlng.s.  But  the  bulls  have  apparently 
abandoned  plans  for  any  further  ag- 
gressive campaign  for  the  present  in 
view  of  the  dou'l)tful  outlook  for  the 
Cuban  question. 

The  strength  of  the  general  hualnes.c 
situation  in  the  event  of  the  .settle- 
ment of  these  questions  makes  the  beais 
timid  and  promises  a  period  of  dullness 
and  waiting.  There  are  evidences  of 
gotxl  buying  in  the  mark^^t  on  declines 
Severe  raids  have  been  made  on  Indi- 
vidual stocks,  of  which  Metropolitan 
Street  Railway  was  moat  prominent 
with  an  extreme  decline  of  19  points. 
Prices  are  all  above  the  lowest,  but  net 
losses  are  between  1  and  2  points  in  the 
standard  shares  with  gains  in  excep- 
tional. 

There  was  an  active  depression  of  the 
maritet  a,t  the  opening  today  In  re- 
sp(mse  to  lower  quotations  from  Lon- 
don. The  whole  list  more  or  less  affect- 
ed by  the  leading  Industrials  and  the 
internatitmal  stocks  led  the  decline.  The 
tendency  of  the  market  continued 
sharply  downward  after  the  opening. 
Declines  extended  quickly  to  a  point  or 
over  in  a  number  of  leading  industrials 
and  specilties.  Sugar  being  conspicu- 
ous. In  the  railway  list  T^nion  Pacific 
showed  the  most  noteworthy  weakness 
with  a  loss  of  14, .  Northern  Pacific 
preferred,    closely    followed. 

The  market  was  dull  with  a  declin- 
ing tendency  for  the  second  hour  of  th-^ 
short  session,  but  in  the  final  decline 
the  bears  made  a  drive  against  Sugar. 
The  whole  list  sank  to  the  lowest  in 
sympathy.  There  were  quick  recoveri-s 
on  »hort  covering  in  Sugar  and  a  'ow 
of  the  stocks  most  vigorously  attacked, 
the  rally  exlentling  to  a  point  in  a 
number  of  instances.  The  close  w.ts 
feverish  and  unsettled  at  the  rally.  Net 
losses  ranged  from  a  fraction  to  up- 
wards of  3  points  in  the  active  lisi. 
Total  sales,  272,060  shares.

YUXON   FISH    STORIES. 

Denver  Republican:  "The  waters  of 
Alaska,  both  oceanic  and  inland,  have 
a  food  sufiply  equal  to  the  demands  of 
a  continent,"  said  H.  C,  Deming,  of 
Vancouver.  "Nobody  who  has  not  ac- 
tually seen  the  teeming  life  in  these 
waters  can  believe  the  truth.  In  Ber- 
ing sea  there  are  fishing  banks  where 
cod  and  menhaden  are  caught  in  num- 
bers that  put  the  Netvfoundland  banks 
away  Into  the  shade.  The  herring  runs 
are  enormous.  I  have  seen  the  peculiar 
ripple  caus;ed  by  herring  shoals  extend- 
ing over  the  surface  of  the  sea  as  far 
as  the  eye  could  reach,  and  fishermen 
tell  me  they  are  actually  increasing,  not- 
withstanding the  terrible  slaughter  by 
seals  and  a  blackflsh  which  not  only 
eats  fish,  but  catches  seals,  and  when 
wounded  v.iil  attack  an  ocean  steamer. 

"But  it  is  the  salmon  runs  that  ex- 
cite the  greatest  wonder.  These  fish  ko 
up  the  ri\ers  in  the  spring  and  early 
summer  to  spawn,  and  sometimes  in 
the  shallo'ver  parts  of  a  stream  are  so 
thick  that  they  actually  climb  over 
each  other,  and  tbe  Indians  and  other.o 
secure  all  they  want  with  clul)s  and 
pitchforks  "When  they  encounter  a 
perpendicular  fall  they  leap  to  an  as- 
tonishing hieight  and  millions  are  killed 
hy  falling  back  to  the  water  and  rockt. 
Only  the  strongest  succeed  in  reaching 
the  highest  points  on  the  streams,  and 
they  are  Kenerally  so  battered  up  that 
when  thej  are  caught  on  their  return 
they  are  not  considered  fit  for  food  by 
the  white  residents  of  the  coast.  I  h-ive 
seen  the  lanks  of  the  Skagit  and  Sno- 
qualmie,  'Washington  streams,  piled  up 
two  feet  ligh  with  dead  salmon  thai 
are  hauled  away  in  immense  numbers 
to  enrich  farm  lands,  and  yet  there  i« 
apparentlj  no  diminution  in  the  vast 
numbers  vhat  come  from  their  winter 
home  in  thic  deep  sea  each  season.  Some 
Idea  of  the  wonderful  extent  of  the  sal- 
mon fisheries  may  be  obtained  from  the 
fact  that  the  salmon  runs  extend  from 
the  Colunibia  to  the  Yukon,  including 
a  coast  line  o  more  than  2000  miles. 

"The  strange  creatures  of  the  sea  that 
are  usually  found  in  tropical  waters  are 
also  ound  here.  I  have  seen  an  octo- 
pus with  irms  fifteen  feet  long  caught 
in  Seattle  harbor,  and  sea  anemones,, 
sea  cucumbers,  sea  urchins,  starfish, 
moonfish,  dogfish  and  sharks  are  to  be 
found  everywhere  in  the  greatest  abun- 
dance. Rock  cod,  sea  bass,  ling  and 
other  game  fish  of  the  sea  are  very 
plentiful,  and  <  iaims  are  so  abundant 
that  everj'  saloon  has  clam  bullion  on 
tap  free  to  every  comer.  The  Northern 
Pacific  ard  Bering  sea  are  wonderful 
storehouses." 


HIS  UNSELFISHNESS. 
The  fond  mother  of  three  children 
was  obliged  to  remonstrate  with  her 
oldest  boy  because  in  the  child's  games- 
he  would  ilways  take  the  lead  and  as- 
sign subordinate  positions  to  his  little 
brother  and  sister,  says  the  'Kansas 
City  Journal.  The  boy  promised  not 
to  be  selfii-h  in  the  future.  A  few  days 
later  his  mother  happening  in  the  nur- 
cery,  saw  the  two  younger  children  en- 
gaged in  amateur  theatricals.  The 
elder  boy  stood  aside  with  arms  folded 
nioodly  wf  tchins  them.  "We  are  play- 
ing Adam  and  Eve."  said  the  young- 
sters. The  mother  was  much  gratified, 
as  she  supposed  in  this  instance,  at 
least,  the  boy  had  allowed  his  In-other 
the  principal  role.  She  turned  to  the 
silent  figure  in  the  corner,  about  to 
praise  him.  "Who  are  you'.'"  she 
asked.  "God,"  was  the  answer. 


A  TRRRIBLE   BLUNDER. 

Clevelani  Leader:  "Hands  up!"  said 
thf  villain  with  the  low  brow  and  the 
bulldog  jaiv. 

"All  rlgH.  I'll  put  up  my  hands,"  re- 
plied the  man  with  the  tall  forehead  and 
the  pale  rountenance,  "but  you  have 
evidently  made  a  mistake.  I  am  a 
newspaper  man  ' 

"Here."  said  the  footped,  tears  of  pity 
springing  into  his  eyes,  "is  a  quarter. 
Don't  let  this  ever  become  kno.wn,  or 
the  gang'll  put  me  back  in  the  amateur 
class.

HANDS  OFF! 

The  request  of  the  Spanish  government 
that  the  Spanish  officials  be  permitted 
to  join  with  the  American  naval  au- 
thorities in  making  an  investigation  inn 
the  cause  of  the  disaster  to  the  Mainc» 
has  been  respectfully  declined  by  our 
gnvernment. 

This  is  entirely  proper.  There  is  no 
gcod  reason  why  the  Spaniards  should 
have  anything  to  do  with  the  investiga- 
tion. It  IS  a  matter  which  concerns  the 
Amtrican  jjiople  alone — unless  it  should 
result  in  the  discovery  tliat  the  disaster 
was  due  to  a  Spanish  torpedo,  and  then 
the  Spaniards  would  leain  that  it  con- 
/tcfned  them  very  much.  Our  own  naval 
authorities  are  competent  to  make  this 
Investigation  without  any  assistance,  and 
especially  assistance  from  those  who 
are  under  the  suspicion  of  having  been 
thi  cause  of  the  disaster. 

Nor  should  the  Spanish  authorities  be 
permitted  to  make  any  investigation  on 
their  own  account.  The  Maine  was  an 
American  battleship,  and  her  mangled 
corpse  should  not  be  polluted  by  the 
touch  of  a  Spaniard's  hand.  Nay  more, 
if  the  Spaniards  attempt  to  send  any 
divers  to  inspect  her,  the  American  fleet 
should  open  fire  upon  the  palace  of  th:- 
Spanish  captain-general  of  Cuba.  Let 
the  Spaniards  keep  hands  off  the  Main^! 


THK  PKOMl^K.S  OF  1X98. 

The  Louisville  Courier-Journal  is  con- 
vinced that  if  1S98  does  not  prove  to  be 
a  good  year  it  will  be  due  to  one  of  two 
contingencies — war  or  crop  failures. 
Never,  it  asserts,  were  indications  mor: 
unanimous  or  significant.  The  splendid 
harvests  of  last  year  and  the  splendid 
prices  received  form  the  be^t  possible 
basis  for  the  coming  trade  in  an  agricul- 
tural nation  like  this.  Tlie  Courier- 
Journal  says: 

"The  essentials  to  agricultural — 
therefiM-e  natijnal — prosperity  are  that 
we  shall  have  abundant  harvests  and  re- 
ceive good  prices  for  them.  As  to  the 
first  requisite  we  can  truly  say  of  our 
crops  as  the  Kentucky  gentleman  said 
of  bourbon  whisky — they  are  all  good. 
though  some  are  better  than  others. 
Because  of  our  equable  climate,  our  fer- 
tile soil  and  the  great  diversification  of 
'our  territory  we  have  never  known  a  real 
dearth.  As  to  good  prices  we  are  as- 
sured of  them,  for  the  same  causes  that 
raised  the  average  farm  price  of  wht?at 
from  49.1  cents  a  bushel  in  1894  to  80.8  in 
1897  are  still  potent.  No  matter  how 
good  the  crops  may  be  this  season  in 
other  exporting  countries  than  India 
and  Argentine,  the  harvests  will  com<- 
just  in  time  to  replenish  the  world's  re- 
sources, at  their  lowest  ebb  for  many  a 
year.  Man  proposes  and  God  disposes, 
but  the  chances  are  that  we  shall  have 
full  granarif'S  next  fall,  and  we  may  rest 
easy  as  to  the  prices  we  shall  get.  " 

The  vast  volume  of  bank  clearings 
shows  that  transactions  are  on  a  much 
larger  scale  than  in  1892.  The  enormous 
growth  in  railway  earnings  indicates 
bow  our  internal  commerce  has  expand- 


ed. Think  of  a  yeurl.N  imreaai'  tif  ov.  r 
$r>,(K)(>.OiK>  in  the  earnings  of  the  Hurling- 
t<ui.  of  $4,(>00,tM>(t  In  the  Pennsylvania,  of 
$;^.(H)o,(ioo  in  the  .Miss.aiil  Pucifli-  and  so 
on.  Think  of  the  fact  that  the  Niirlli- 
w.  stern.  whi(  h  in  IxiM  hnked  $l,»>r.C.!tltS 
of  t  artiing  its  dividends,  made  a  surplus 
of  $2,279,034  lust  year.  Th«'i*e  are  ion - 
spiiuou.s  examples,  it  is  true,  but  they 
ui-e  only  illustrations  of  the  general 
movement. 

Hut  while  x\\?  prospects  are  so  good, 
there  is  reason  for  the  warning  which 
the  Louisville  papeii'  gives.  "Hecause," 
it  savs.  "the  future  at  last  looks  so  bright 
is  no  reason  that  Wt'  should  be  less  in- 
dustrious, less  pioident  and  less  econ- 
otnkal.  We  are  nearly  i>ut  of  the  woods, 
but  the  valuable  lessons  that  wo  learned 
during  the  panic  should  not  be  disregard- 
ed. The  year  1S9.S  should  be  iharact.  r- 
ized  by  the  conservatism  that  will  Insure 
us  the  full  reward  of  previous  self-de- 
nial. Lit  there  be  less  speculation  but 
more  entorprise.  Let  opi>ortunitiis  b.' 
leeognized.  but  do  not  forg«»t  the  pursuit 
.)f  the  wlll-o"-the-wisps  in  1S91  and  \Wl 
whiih  htlptd   to  bring  on   I.S9,!." 


THE  PICTlUK-SylK  .SI UK. 

Kvery  great  .novment  ol  po-.iple  in- 
to some  hitherto  unsettled  region, 
wbethir  fir  tli*^  purpo--«  ■  of  ugriculluial 
lolonizj'.tlon,  esoape  from  religious  or 
piliiral  pors?-.*uiion.  or  invasion  of  a 
mining  ^icM.  has  its  pictup'squt*  side, 
says;  ih"  Onaha  Bee.  In  the  ca.se  of 
the  KloiidSke  mining  region  this  pi-- 
lurt  S'lueni  ss  is  as  att!-nctive  to  the 
onlookers  as  are  the  pockets  of  gold-m 
sand  to  the  lirospcctors.  No  gold 
mininf  r.?£rion  has  ever  before  l)>'en 
opened  quite  so  near  the  region  of 
1  orpetual  snow  and  Ice  as  this.  W  liil-.^ 
California  \\as  almost  inaiccsoiblc-  in 
the  '408.  the  climate  was  inviting,  and 
in  Australia  and  Africa  the  ?o!  1  fields 
were  beyond  the  bounds  of  civilization. 
The  Klondike  has  been  girded  for  cen- 
turies not  alone  by  the  ice-capped  gla- 
ciers, but  by  the  ice  fields  which  ex- 
tend over  the  entire  Arctic  country- 
Those  who  have  braveM  all  these  dan- 
gers and  fought  against  nature  made 
known  the  riches  of  the  legion  and  th- 
fact  that  the  gold  can  be  got  only  by 
.hardshipr  and  privations  in  reality  ac:^s 
as  one  of  the  charms  of  the  region. 

After  the  first  rush  over  the  nar- 
row mountain  passes  the  little  mining 
camps  were  cut  off  from  the  rest  of  the 
world,  and  in  response  to  demands 
that  an  effort  be  made  to  get  provi- 
sions to  the  miners  who  may  be  suffer- 
ing fo"-  food  the  government  is  about 
to  send  a  reindeer  train  over  the 
mountain.s,  accompanied  by  a  militaiy 
fcrc3  tc  keep  order.  No  such  pic- 
turesque relief  expedition  was  ever  be- 
fore ssnt  out,  says  the  Bee.  From  the 
meager  information  Avhieh  has  come 
from  the  belated  mining  camps  one 
may  easily  build  stories  of  hardship, 
privation  and  crime,  and  the  air  i.s 
f.lled  with  conjecture  as  to  what  has 
been  happening  beyond  the  passes. 
The  returning  prospectors  with  their 
stories  of  adventure,  the  romances  and 
tragedies  of  the  gold  camp?,  the 
triumphs  and  failures  of  the  workers 
in  the  placers,  the  search  for  the 
"mother  lode,"  the  crowded  steavi- 
ships  on  th^  way  to  the  Alaskan  ports, 
an  occasional  shipwreck — all  these 
things  and  many  others  afford  rich 
material  for  a  thrilling  history  of  the 
latest  great  gold  rush.  In  after  yeart 
this  picturesciue  side  will,  as  the 
Omaha  paper  says,  prove  almost  a;^ 
interesting  as  the  profitable  side  of 
the  Klondike  incident. 


WILL  KIN  FOK  CONOKESS. 

The  Virginian,  published  at  Virginia,  on 
the  Mesaba  range,  is  a  political  wise- 
^re  of  great  perspicuity.  In  its  last 
issue  it  says:  "Wt  do  not  for  a  minute 
believe  Hon.  C.  A.  Towne  will  be  a  can- 
didate for  congressman  in  the  Sixth  dis- 
trict this  fall,  despite  all  the  talk  about 
it  now  going.  Mr.  Towne  wants  to  head 
the  national  Democratic  ticket  in  1900." 
One  would  imagine  from  the  positive 
tone  of  the  Virginian  that  it  enjoyed 
Mr.  Towne's  confidence,  and  had  been 
assured  by  him  that  he  desired  to  be 
the  Democratic  presidential  candidate  in 
1900,  but  the  fact  is  that  the  Virginian 
does  not  know  what  it  is  talking  about — 
in  short,  it  is  "talking  through  its  hat." 
Probably  the  wish  is  father  to  the 
thought  that  Mr.  Towne  may  not  run  for 
congress  next  fall,  but  it  will  sadden  the 
Republican  organ  at  Virginia  to  learn 
that  its  wish  is  not  to  be  gratified.  Mr. 
Towne  will  be  a  candidate  for  congress 
next  fall,  if  he  be  alive  and  well,  and  ho 
expects  to  be  elected.  He  is  not  seeking 
the  presidential  nomination  in  1900.  He 
believes  that  Mr.  Bryan  is  the  logical 
candidate  for  that  year,  and  unless  all 
signs  fail  Mr.  Bryan  will  again  be  the 
candir^ate  of  the  Democratic,  Populist 
and  Silver   Republican  parties. 

.SHOL'LU  RK  PKKBAKKD. 

ThtKidore  Roosevelt,  assistant  secre- 
tary of  the  navy,  aaid  in  his  Lincoln 
day  speech  that  the  shrill  advocates 
of  unintelligent  peacefulness  should 
see  a  grim  object  lesson,  especially  fit- 
ted to  teach  them,  if  they  are  capable 
of  learning,  that  unless  we  are  some 
day  prepared  to  share  this  fate  we 
must  show  that  we  are  ready  'ind  able 
to  appeal  to  the  final  arbitrament  of 
the  sword. 

Tho  Buffalo  News  says:  "A  warn- 
ing was  given  to  this  country  not  long 
ago  from  one  of  the  active  statesmen 
of  Europe  that  a  combined  ■•ffori  on 
behalf  of  Europe  was  actually  neces- 
sary to  meet  the  Monroe  doctrine  and 
other  political  doctrines  and  move- 
ments on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic. 
This  warning  has  received  emnhat'c 
support  by  press  utterances  and  Ihe 
unfriendly  actions  of  two  or  three  lor- 
tign  powers.  The  building  of  our 
navy  is  meeting  with  undisguised 
contempt  in  some  quarters.  But  the 
gathering  of  our  navy  on  the  Cuban 
coast  is  an  object  lesson  to  the  powers 
of  Europe.  It  tells  them  that  the 
United  States  has  taken  warning  by 
the  fate  of  China  and  'that  we  are 
ready  and  able  to  appeal,'  as  Mr. 
Roosevelt  says,  'to  the  final  arbitra- 
ment of  ihe  sword,' — which  in  this 
case  means  'battleship.'  "

(»ne  feature  of  The  Herald's  news  ser- 
vice t  >  which  special  attention  may 
properly  be  directed  is  the  large  amount 
of  si>aie  devoted  to  the  news  of  the 
towns  in  St.  Louis,  Ita.sca,  Lake  anil 
other  neighboring  counties.  Special 
I  orrespondents  in  all  of  these  ti»wns 
furnish  The  Herald  with  all  the  Im- 
portant news  during  the  week,  and  their 
v.eekly  letters  in  The  Saturday  Herald 
are  of  peculiar  interest  to  thousands 
of  readers.  No  other  newspaper  at  the 
head  of  the  lakes  has  such  a  complete 
news  service,  and  that  It  is  appreciated 
by  the  residents  of  these  towns  is  shown 
by  the  large  and  steadily  increasing 
circulation  of  The  Herald  throughout 
the  Lake  Superior  region. 


An  Iowa  editor  thus  gives  credit  where 
credit  is  due:  "The  oyster  and  the 
strawberry  have  each  done  their  share 
toward  evangelizing  the  world.  They 
have  built  and  furnished  more  churches, 
paid  the  salaries  of  more  preachers  and 
helped  more  heathens  than  any  other 
natural  agencies  in  the  world."  True, 
and  just  think  how  few  strawl>erries 
and  oysters  have  accomplished  so  much! 


Milwaukee  is  to  have  a  grand  carnival 
next  summer,  beginning  June  27,  and 
the  Sentinel  declares  it  will  be  a  hum- 
mer. The  Cream  City  is  a  charming 
one  at  all  seasons,  and  is  particularly 
fascinating  and  exhilarating  in  .sum- 
mer garb,  when  to  its  attractions  are 
added  the  glories  of  an  Ak-Sar-Ben  fes- 
tival. There  certainly  will  be  a  hot  time 
in  the  old  town. 


A  libel  suit  was  brought  by  a  lawyer 
in  I.,ondon  recently  against  a  newspaper, 
not  for  saying  hard  things  against  a 
man,  but  for  omitting  mention  of  his 
name.  It  was  laughed  out  of  court,  but 
Harold  Frederic  avers  that  ten  years 
ago  the  plaintiff  would  have  got  a  ver- 
dict from  a  sympathetic  jury. 


The  popularity  of  The  Saturday  Her- 
ald, "the  best  newspaper  at  the  head 
of  the  lakes,"  is  very  annoying  to  the 
News  Tribune.  Instead  of  nursing  its 
jealousy,  why  does  it  not  try  to  publish 
a  Sunday  edition  equally  as  good?  That 
would  keep  it  so  busy  that  it  would  not 
have  time  to  feel  sore. 


It  is  said  that  the  Boston  milliners

Governor  Tanner  of  Illinois  is  not  a 
personality  to  be  admired,  but  he  had 
the  right  idea  when  he  asked  the  legis-

moral  and  financial  aid  of  his  great 
state  to  Uncle  Sam,  should  it  be  needed 
to  drive  a  foreign  invader  from  our 
shores. 


A  New  Jersey  contractor  has  admitted

trying  to  engage  him  to  pose  as  the 
contractor  with  a  conscience. 


Was  it  a  torpedo  or  was  it  an  acci- 
dent? This  is  the  question  which  every- 
body is  asking  about  the  Maine  disaster. 
And  those  who  believe  it  was  an  acci- 
dent are  not  so  numerous  as  those  who 
hold  to  the  other  theory.

It  may  be  well,  as  Capt.  Sigsbee  sug-

down  with  thi  I'nited  Slates  under  one 
wing  and  Spain  under  the  other.  The 
incident  sugge^:s  the  importance  of  statt;

pertinent  the  iiKpiiry  whether  it  may  not 
be  possible  to  abolish  war  by  judicious-

the  people  of  the  I'nitwi  States  are  entire- 
ly satislied  wiih  the  course  of  Pr;'sidtnt 
McKinley  in  this  crisis,  as  they  have  been 
throughout  all  his  dealings  with  the  Cu- 
ban question.  They  know  that  he  faces 
a  situation  which  demands  a  stern  as- 
sertion of  the  national  will  for  a  ful[ 
aiKdogv  from  Spain  or  a  severance  <.r 
friendly  relations.  The  people  are  thor- 
oughly aware  of  the  consequences,  but 
they  prefer  to  accept  them.  Sjiain  has 
exhausted  the  patien<-e  of  this  continent. 
We  have  come  to  the  end  of  the  crooked 
lane  of  Spanish  diplomacy.  Hereafter  our

American  terms,  it  matters  not  what  be- 
comes of  Cuba.

SECtUR  SHOTS  AT  THE  PILPIT. 


Baltimore  American:  Bishop  Vi.ncent 
has  bi'gun  war  on  the  gum-chewers.  but 
Ibire  is  onl.v  one  Kishop  \'iiieent.  while 
the  name  of  the  giim-ebewers  Is  legion. 

Kansas  City  Star:  The  relative  |)Ositions 
ot  the  Ameriiaii  press  and  pulpit,  the  one 
disi)OSed  to  be  fl'ieMill.V  and  beljlful.  the 
otlnr  inelined  to  ritiiin  for  practical  as- 
sistaiU'e  unmerited  n-proach,  has  been  no- 
torious for  a   long  time. 

ciiieago  Times- Herald:  Two  ministers 
attended  a  ball  at  Kiiobkiioster.  Mo.,  the 
other  nigh:  and  introductd  a  pr:iyer  in  the 
middle  of  a  Virginia  reel.  Aft,  r  that  there 
was  a  grand  march  to  the  t-louk  room 
and  an  "all  pnmienadi-"   home. 

St.  l.onls  (ilobe-ljemoerat:  A  Kansas 
Clt.v  minister  calls  Dr.  hyman  Abbott  "a 
latter-day  seer_  of  lop-sided  theology." 
This  is  equivalent  to  one  editor  character- 
izing another  as  "our  beetle-headed  con- 
ti  mporary.  whose  festering  jaws  drip  gall 
and  aqua  fortis." 

Boston  Globe:  That  Dr.  John  HalTs  con- 
gregation is  going  to  stand  by  him  was 
inilicated  b.v  the  size  of  trie  cidlections 
Sunday.  The  silver  platters  were  fairly 
bee.jKd  with  crisp  banknotes,  and  it  was 
with  difficulty  that  the  ushjis  ija.ssing  the 
plates  kept  the  mo:iey  from  falli;ig  or 
being  blown  off  the  plates  by  the  drafts 
ill  ilie  church. 

Indianapolis  Journal:  The  dramatic 
story  of  Rev.  Hiram  Holt  praying  for 
the  souls  of  two  Indians  whose  torture  he 
sanctioned  and  was  about  to  witness,  the 
meantime  baling  one  eye  co<ked  on  the 
throne  of  grace  and  the  other  on  the 
loaded  riiie  le  held  to  prevent  the  escape 
of  the  captives,  furnishes  a  picture  even 
more  striking  and  unconventional  than 
Stojihen    Craae   could    have   imagined. 

Buffalo  Commercial:  The  row  in  Rev. 
Dr.  John  Halls  church  in  New  York  is 
a  deplorable  one.  Whatever  the  merits  of 
the  case,  a  "lirst-class"  church  o:i  F.fth 
avenue,  conducted  without  regard  to  ex- 
pense, cannot  afford  to  lose  its  ri'-hest 
supporti'rs.  To  outsiders  it  looks  as 
though  the  fight  might  have  been  avoided 
if  there  had  been  more  of  the  spirit  of 
Christianity,  and  less  demol^stration  of 
personal  i)ride  and  obstinacy  in  the 
cli'irch  government. 

Kansas  City  Star:  Mgr.  Schroeder.  late 
of  the  t^athollc  university  at  Wa-shing- 
ton.  was  given  a  farewell  at  Columbus. 
Ohio,  on  Feb.  9.  prior  to  his  dei)arture  for 
Gerieany.  Of  the  large  number  of  priests 
and  la.vmen  participating  all  were  Ger- 
man. Mgr.  Schroeder  came  from  Germany 
and  ht  returns  to  Germany.  The  speeches 
in  denunciation  of  the  i>ollcy  of  the  uni- 
versity were  vigorous,  not  to  say  bitter. 
To  the  outsider  it  would  .seem  that  there 
has  come  about  in  the  Cahtolic  church 
in  this  country  a  decided  division  be- 
tween the  American  party  and  the  Ger- 
man party,  though  both  parties  would 
piobably  disavow  the  names  and  even 
the  fact  of  the  separation.

While  I  with  pleasure  contemplate 
That  Im  an  advertiser  great! 

The  secret  of  my  fortune  lies 
In  one  small  fact,  which  I  may  state. 
Too  many  tradesmen  learn  too  late — 
If   I   have  gootls,   I   advertise! 
Then  people  come 

And  people  go 
In  constant  streams. 
For   people    know 
That   he  who  has  good  wares  to  sell 
Will   surely  advertise   them  well; 
And  proudly  I  reiterate.

PARIS  BABIES. 
Much  satisfaction  has  been  caused  in 
France  by  the  publication  of  statistics 
for  1896,  which  show  the  population  of 
France  to  be  inci>easlng,  says  the  Cleve- 
land Leader.  In  1893  the  number  of 
births  only  exceeded  the  deaths  by  7146. 
In  1S94  the  excess  rose  to  39.768,  which 
was  also  a  tritiing  figure  for  a  population 
of  38,000.000  and  which  justified  the  anx- 
iety as  regarded  the  future.  Nor  did  the 
alarm  appear  to  be  groundless  in  1895,  for 
the  number  of  deaths  .'that  year  exceeded 
the  births  by  17,813.  The  figures  of  180C 
show  however  that  last  year  there  were 
94,000  more  births  than  deaths. 


L'lii   i.s  coming,  my  dear  sisb  r,     and 
with  Its  advent  Wf  are  supposed  to  lay 
aside  the  frivolities  of  the  world,  lo  turn 
our   minds   and    thoughts    to    something 
» iHe  than  the  pleasure  «»f  the  hour.  There 
are  few  women  nowadays  who  merit  the 
term  of    reproach,  bestowed  generations 
ago,  "buttertly;"    there  are  few    women 
who  are  frivolous  enough  to  make  jdea- 
sure  the  main  object  In  life,  but,  jmlting 
aside  the  higher  demands  of  this  season, 
from  a  physical  and      mental      point  of 
view,  it  should  be    observed.      Most  wo- 
men rebel  mentally  against  routine    and 
demniTil    change,    if    not    of   scene,    then 
change  of  occupation,  and  this  Is  secured 
by  the  restrictions  of  Lent,  by  the  sense 
of  peace  and  rest  whi'h  jiervades,  by  the 
absence  of  Imperative  social  duties,  and 
by     the.    occupation     often     afforded     in 
Linttn  classes,   for  slu<ly     and  I'.iarity. 
Many  of  these  little  firganizations  aie  a 
boon    to   women;    they    provide  a   some- 
times necessary  stimulant,     and     affonl 
JoUtlet  for  pliilitnth'opi'"  feeling,   secured 
in  no  other  way.     Women  of  bisure    de- 
rive much  benefit  from  class*  s  and  dubs, 
which    Induct  one   into  the  mysteries  f.f 
eviryday  life,  if  one  might  so  call  this. 
The  events  in  the  outside  world,  the  cur- 
rent evi  nts.  which,  small  in  them.selv  s. 
tend  toward  great  and  important  crises 
in  natifmal      affairs      sometimes,      and 
which  can  .only  Iw?  understood  by  daily 
watching   the  tide  of  affairs.     Tiie  cur- 
rent events  classes  and  clubs,  when  j)rop- 
erly  conducted,     should     llourish.     It     is 
right  here   that   women  lack   that   inde- 
finable something  that  we  call   culture. 
What  boots  it  that  she  can  quote  pag'^s 
and  masses  of  theoretical  scientific  stuff, 
when  she  knows  nothing    of     the  great 
subjects  discussed  in  slate  affairs;  when 
she   is   obliged,   by    the   culmination     of 
events,  to  ask  why  and  what  the  begin- 
ning?   One  or  two  of  the  clubs  in   this 
city  make  a  special      study      of      daily 
affairs,  and  it  has  a  most  broadening  and 

cultivating  effect. 

*    •    * 

It  is  passing  strange  that  women,  as 
a  rule,  do  not  recognize  this  necessity 
for  a  broad  and  general  knowledge  of 
every-day  affairs.  It  helps  us  to  un- 
derstand the  past,  to  keep  in  toucn 
with  the  present,  and  to  l>e  ready  for 
the  future,  when  it  becomes  the  pre- 
sent. But  there  is  a  lamentable  lack 
cf  this  knowledge  among  women  and  it 
comes  from  neglig  nee  in  regard  to  the 
daily  paper.  How  can  one  discuss  or 
appreciate  the  horror  of  the  disaster 
to  our  warship,  or  understand  the  posi- 
tion of  affairs  l>etween  Spain  and  our 
country  when  the  daily  and  changing 
attitude  of  the  two  countries  has  not 
b£en  watched  and  studied.  Ignorance 
in  regard  to  the  De  Lome  affair  is  in- 
excusable, but  nevertheless  prevalent 
Manv  of  us  number  many  charming  wo- 
men'among  our  acquaintances  who  are 
educated  and  refined,  yet  who  lack  an 
indefinable  something  of  cultivation 
and  getting  down  to  the  root  of  the 
matter,  one  finds  it  is  ignorance  of 
passing  daily  events.  There  is  no 
thoroughly  American  woman  who  should 
disdain  this  knowledge.  All  the  study 
of  philosophy,  sociology,  psychology, 
and  all  the  other  ology  is  not  going  to 
make  up  for  this.  It  forms  the  smatl  as 
Well  as  the  big  talk  of  the  day.  it  is 
social  chit-chat.  It  is  the  current  com 
of  intercourse  among  strangers.  But  I 
know  many  houses,  as  I  doubt  not  dr 
you,  my  dear  sister,  where  the  news- 
paper comes  in  the  morning,  goes  down 
town  in  the  iwcket  of  the  lord  and  mas- 
ter and  returns  not  again:  where  the 
evening  paper  gets  no  glance  of  wel- 
come from  the  mistress  of  the  house 
or  worse  still;  where  the  paper  never 
goes  to  the  house,  but  is  left  at  the  of- 
fice of  the  man  of  the  home.  For  the 
thoroughly  companionable,  chatty 
bright  and  breezy  womaJi,  give  me  the 
woman  who  reads  the  daily  paper.  She 
is  alive,  she  is  up-to-date,  she  forms 
her  own  opinions  and  talks  interesting- 
ly on  subjects  of  the  day.  She  does  not 
take  second-hand  views  of  affairs,  but 
is  educated  in  the  broad  and  by  her- 
self. She  sees  an  allusion  to  matter? 
historical  and  sts  herself  to  study  out 
the  meaning  thereof,  she  is  goe>d  ce>m- 
pany  and  nearly  always  interesting 
We  discussed  this  very  subject,  not  long 
since,  across  the  tea  table:  on^  woman 
said  she  had  been  at  a  club  of  women 
a  few  days  before  where  the  Chinese 
question  had  been  the  subject  of  dis- 
cussion: the  Russian.  German,  Eng- 
lish and  Japanese  attitude  was  can- 
vassed, and  hardly  one  woman  in  the 
class  found  herself  ready  with  food  for 
discussion  though  the  whole  subject  had 
been  handled  in  a  masterly  way  in  an 
editorial  in  the  morning  paper.  Not 
one  woman  in  ten  had  read  that  paper 
and  yet  she  was  enrolling  herself 
in  a  club  where  just  such  subjects  were 
discussed,  and  the  daily  paper  was  her 
one  source  of  informati:)n.  Few  of  us 
re^alize  the  educational  aspect .  of  the 
daily  naper;  few  women,  that  is,  for 
men  con  its  pages  eagerly.  There  are 
found  the  guides  for  business,  the 
sources  of  knowledge  on  politicks  or  na- 
tional affairs,  the  reports  which  influ- 
ence the  markets  of  commerce,  and  no 
woman  can  afford  to  disdain  this  as- 
pect. For  months  we  have  been  as  a 
nation  involved  in  affairs  of  importance: 
we  have  had  Hawaiian  and  Spanish 
matters  before  our  peqple  for  discussion 
in  regard  t")  subjects  involving  affairs 
of  moment,  and  only  by  studying  the 
daily  reports  is  it  possible  to  understand 
and"  follow  these  affairs,  for  we  have 
no  other  sources  of  information  than 
the  newspapers.  Organize  your  current 
events  classes,  dear  sister,  if  you  wish, 
in  Lent;  discuss  affairs  of  national  and 
municipal  importance,  find  -out  how  we 
stand  upon  questions  and  why,  and 
then  you  need  never  feel  out  of  it  when 
men  discuss  these  matters,  as  they  will. 
It  is  not  nece.«sary  to  read  local  news  in 
the  papers  unless  one  wishes,  but  it  is 
necessary  to  read  and  know  what  Is 
going  on  in  the  big  world  if  erne  cares 
t-*  be  a  cultivated  woman.  The  woman 
who  reads  the  newspaper  is  never  pro- 
vincial; she  Is  seldom  morbid  because 
her  horizon  Is  not  bounded  by  a  narrow 
local  line;  she  feels  herself  in  touch  with 
the  world  at  large,  and  in  that  braad 
exi>ansiveness  loses  the  self-con.<»clou»- 
ness  and  aggressive  self-pride  which  is 
the  distinguishing  and  disagreeable 
quality  of  the  provincial  woman.  She 
is  seldom  a  go.ssip,  she  feels  the  petti- 
ness of  discussing  o^e's  neighbors 
affairs  when  there  are  things  going  on 
to  Interest  a  great  big  world.  And  this 
woman  will  keep  her  go  id  looks  longer 
because  she  has  mental  food  and  Is  not 
fretting  and  worrying  and  talking  over 
matters  of  no  earthly  Import  to  any- 
one but  herself.  Is  there  any  more 
deadly  bore  than  the  provincial  woman 
whf)  discusses  servants,  and  «ust,  and 
how  to  put  the  pillows  on  the  bed:  who 
te>lls  you  family  affairs  and  personal 
diseases;  who  tells  you  the  brand  of 
coffee  she  uses,  the  price  of  materials, 
the  minutiae,  in  fact,  of  daily  personal 
aflairs  ad  nauseam?  You  may  be  cer- 
tain she  Is  one  of  the  women  .;,vho  does 
not  read  a  dally  paper,  and  from  her 
many  of  us  flee,  thinking  the  moments 
too  precious  to  be  wasted  In  such  con- 
versation. There  are  broad,  vital  sub- 
jects involving  the  good  of  our  race 
and  the  development  of  man  and  wo« 
man  ready  at  hand  for  talk:  there  are 
also  books,  and  gay,  light,  happy  and 


pl(a.<tant  subjects  which  need  not  be 
per.sonal,  therefore  why  should  we  waste 
time?  'W^>  can  discuss  servants  and 
house  and  home  matters  in  the  broad: 
that  is,  with  a  view  toward  remedying 
existing  evils  and  lightening  labor,  but 
this  is  generalizing,  and  the  provincial 
woman  is  .seldom  capable  of  this.  The 
wfiman  who  reads  new.spaperH.  on  the 
other  hand,  must  read  something  else, 
and  she  is  very  apt  to,  but  If  she  is  a 
very  busy  woman  whose  time  is  limited, 
and  she  can  steal  little  of  it  for  read- 
ing, let  her  give  up  everything  else 
rather  than  her  dally  paper.

The  days  are  bringing  us  a:-ound 
toward  another  national  birthday,  and 
It  Seems  significant  of  the  tr<-rul  of 
universal  thought  that  we  ar.-  taking 
these  days  more  seriously,  that  we 
seem  to  have  a  more  sin(»-i.-  appre- 
ciation of  what  they  mean  to  us  as  a 
nation.  We  are  It-ginning  to  iihiIoi*ft- 
phize  over  our  affairs  and  conie  lo 
that  self-eonsciousness  which  is  ever 
the  forerunneT-  of  deveUipmen'.  There 
is  necessity  always  in  naiiimal  life  for 
the  r'ersonality  which  embodi.-s  the 
national  idea  and  February  is  our 
gi'-ai  month  then,  for  it  gave  lo  us 
oui-  two  greatest  heroes.  Washington 
and  Lincoln.  Th^  two  men  u  ho  have 
di  ne  more  to  shape  us  as  a  peopb' 
than  any  other,  the  two  greatest  men 
our  country  ever  produced.  Classes 
in  American  history  during  Lent  v.ould 
serve  as  a  broad  and  cultivating  Influ- 
ence, so  much  has  come  to  light  in 
recent  years  whiih  rous-s  in  us  a  pride 
of  race  and  country.  We  have  n  >t 
stopped  heretofore  to  contemplate  our 
achievements,  but  have  been  busy  ac- 
quiring and  developing  our  resources: 
now  we  are  both  rich  and  powerful, 
fitted  to  take  our  place  among  th<» 
great  nations  of  the*  world,  and  it  is 
necessary  to  patriotism  that  we 
should  be  aware  of  the  steps  by  which 
we  came,  that  we  should  kne.w  by 
how  much  effort  the  eminence  was 
reached.  Y'ou  will  be  surprised.  I 
know,  to  find  how  well  one  is  rtrpaiei  for 
this  the  study  of  our  own  country.  Iter 
institutions  and  customs,  and  how  v.e 
came  by  them.  To  women  more  than 
men  is  due  the  recent  development  of 
the  national  idea  among  us  all.  The 
formation  of  the  patriotic  societies  has 
been  more  enthusiastically  rec«'!\ed 
among  women  than  men,  for  wom?n 
have  that  keen  sense-  of  association 
which  makes  them  cling  to  idd  cus- 
toms and  belongings,  and  in  woman  is 
the  patriotiic  instinct  largely  devel- 
oped.  It  is  the  woman  who  teaches 
her  son  the  value  of  th^se  things  that 
makes  him  brave  and  patriotic:  men 
seldom  talk  amout  tender  or  hallowed 
associations;  they  form  the  highest 
point  in  many  a  woman's  life,  and  she 
instills  principles  into  her  childre.i 
drawn  from  her  feeling  and  pride  in 
these  associations  and  ennoblin:;  Influ- 
ences. Through  the  woman  comes 
the  attributes  which  make  the  man 
gieat;  that  is  why  we  ha\e  our 
M^y  Washington  society,  that  is  v.hy 
we  perpetuate  her  memory  along  with 
her  son's.  And  the  Daughters  of  the 
American  Revolution  have  done  a 
great  and  noble  work  in  leachin.g  !is 
the  value  of  and  a  reverence  for  the 
men  and  institutions  which  hav?  made 
us  one  of  the  great  nations  of  the 
world.  Their  meeting  in  Washing- 
ton next  week,  will  be  a  representative 
gathering         of  American  wo- 

men, and  it  is  well  that 
it  is  so.  There  is  but  one  danger  in  this, 
and  that  is  the  establish.ment  of  an 
American  aristocracy.  It  is  wearisome 
indeed  to  hear  women  nowaday*  dis- 
course on  an  ancestry  only  recently  dis- 
covered, a  bore  of  the  greatest  kind  to 
lister,  to  tales  of  grandfathers  who  %:> 
back  to  William  the  Conqueror  or 
Acam.  The  idea  of  the  patriotic  societies 
is  so  good  that  it  would  seem  a  great 
pity  to  see  evil  lesult  from  it.  Do  not 
imagine  I  would  deny  a  right  to  pride  in 
a  worthy  ancestry:  nor  would  I  decline 
to  discuss  genealeigieal  affairs;  these  are 
historical,  and  many  beautiful  and 
thrilling  deeds  have  been  brought  to  light 
by  this  search  into  the  records  of  the 
past.  It  is  right  to  be  proud  of  a  noble 
ancestry;  right  to  be  proud  of  deeds  of 
valor  which  are  handed  down  to  pos- 
terity. "Noblesse  oblige'  has  carried 
many  a  man  or  woman  over  a  crisis 
where  simple  principles  would  have 
failed.  The  remembrance  of  brave  and 
noble  deeds  of  one's  fathers  is  a  fine 
stimulus,  and  worthy  to  be  studied.  I 
only  deprecate  the  dragging  in  of  this 
subject  at  inopportune  times,  and  to 
those  who  can  have  no  possible  interest 
in  it.  for  it  becomes  too  personal,  and  is 
a  species  of  self-aggrandizement.  So 
great  has  been  the  interest  in  genealogi- 
cal affairs  of  recent  years  that  genealogy 
has  been  taken  up  as  a  profession  by 
both  women  and  men.  who  will,  for  a 
stipulated  amount,  search  out  your  an- 
cestry, giving  you  anything  you  ask. 
Mrs.  Hamilton,  of  Chicago,  is  quite  noted 
in  this  way.  and  through  this  study  the 
Newberry  library  in  Chicago  has  felt 
obliged  to  add  a  separate  department, 
bearicf  on  these  matters,  and  a  special 
librarian  and  authority  is  always  therei 
to  assist  in  research.  Our  own  state  Is 
saiii  to  be  verj-  rich  in  genealogical  ma- 
terial, and  the  library  In  St.  Paul  is  said 
to  be  the  second  richest  in  the  country 
in  works  relating  to  these  matters.  So 
vou  might  find  it  as  profitable  as  many 
women  have  to  spend  some  hours  in  find- 
ing out  your  name  and  Its  origin,  here 
keeping,  however,  before  you  a  famous 
verse  of  Tennyson's: 

"  'TIs  only  noble  to  be  gi>'>d. 

Kind  hearts  are  more  than  coronets. 

And  simple  faith  than  Norman  blood." 

•  •    • 

However  it  gives  one  a  renewed 
faith  in  manhood  to  read  the  ae^counts 
which  tell  of  the  conduct  of  the  sail- 
ors on  the  warship  Maine.  It  was 
necessary  to  have  the  gun  cotton  flood- 
ed to  prevent  a  second  explosion,  and 
the  men  were  ordered  to  duty  there. 
It  is  pathetic  to  know  that  they  went 
at  once,  and  to  read  the  simple  an- 
nouncement, "they  never  came  back 
Overwhelmed  they  died  doing  their 
dutv  in  saving  other  lives  and  pre- 
venting disaster.  We  cannot  claim 
thi^se  men  as  Americans  alone,  though 
we  w  luld  like  to.  for  the  list.?  show 
they  were  from  every  country  in 
Europe,  even  a  number  of  J.ipanese 
were  among  them.  The  officers  showed 
an  equally  maiily  bravery,  and  as  the 
whole  story  comes  to  us  it  makes  one 
thrill  with  pride  in  the  nobler  qual- 
ities which  come  to  the  fore  m 
disaster.  These  are  only  shown  In  a 
fine  development,  no  coward  is  fine 
in  danger,  he  shows  himself  In  his 
true  colors,  but  the  man  who  can  fac*» 
danger  and  act  has  that  subtle  qual- 
ity of  nobility  which  we  call  self-con- 
trol.  AGATE.  ■

Stomach  and  Kidneys  All  Out 
of  Order  * 


Hands  Itched  and  Swelled  -  Hood'* 
Sarsaparilla  Completely  Cured. 

•'For  a  number  of  years  I  was  troubled 
with  my  stomach.  Nearly  everything  I 
ate  would  sour  and  I  would  belch  it  up. 
At  times  my  stomach  gave  me  great  dis- 
tress. Every  winter  my  kidneys  would 
trouble  me  and  my  back  would  get  lame 
so  I  could  not  do  anything,  and  at  last 
my  hands  swelled  and  itched  intensely. 
I  thought  I  would  try  Hood's  Sarsaparilla. 
I  bought  six  bottles  and  began  taking  it. 
In  a  short  time  my  stomach  appeared  to 
be  all  right  and  my  back  felt  better. 
When  I  had  taken  four  bottles  my  back 
was  all  right  and  my  hands  were  smooth.

25  YEARS  WjTH  HERALD. 

Mrs.  E.  S.  Cromwell  Has  Utmost  Faith  In 

PAINE'S   CELERY  COMPOUND. 


MR.  COBB'S  POSITION. 

Seems  to   Be    Trying   to   Cover  Up 
His  Own  Error. 

From  the  interest  Cobb  of  the  sc!iool 
board  is  taking  in  the  Lakeside  school 
bond  matter  it  would  appear  that  he  is 
at  fault  for  the  costly  error  that  was 
made.  He  filled  another  column  in  th'' 
News  Tribune  this  morning  with  an 
"answer"  that  answers  nothijig.  He 
insists  that  the  l>oard  made  no  levy  to 
I)ay  these  bonds,  because  they  were 
due  a  month  before  the  levy  was  made. 
The  Herald  has  repeated  several  tinu  s 
that  the  money  was  sent  to  New  York 
out  of  some  fund  during  Aug- 
ust or  thereabouts,  and  that  the  <liaft 
from  that  fund  or  part  of  it,  was  made 
up  in  the  levy  for  1897.  This  cannot 
be  denied,  for  at  the  time  the  levy  was 
made  the  board  did  not  know  that  ilie 
l)onds  were  n«it  yet  due,  and  it  would 
not  b(>  reasonable  to  suppose  that  the 
draft  would  be  left  without  b'ing  re- 
placed. 

If  this  is  not  true  it  is  diHicull  to 
see  why  the  members  of  the  boanl 
should  be  saying  that  the  funds  were 
$4.">,000  better  off  than  they  thou.i;ht 
they  were  because  they  had  levied  to 
cover  this  draft  and  had  no  occasion  to 
use  the  money,  and  why  a  member  ad- 
mitted the  facts  as.  given  to  a  Herald 
man. 

Mr.  Cobb  calls  attention  to  the  fact 
tliat  the  k-vy  for  1897  was  $14,000  le.-^s 
than  that  for  1S96.  Yet  the  report  <>f 
Suiterintendent  Denleld.  published  l,y 
the  board  with  its  own  report.  .  shows 
that  the  board  had  made  a  cut  in  its

ELLEN  S.  CROMWELL. 
Women  have  their  health  much  more 
largely  in  their  own  hands  than  they  are 
accu-stomcd   to  believe. 

The  impure  blood  that  undermin'es  the 
stomach  and  ne(rvous  system  can  be  un- 
questionably enriched:  the  number  of 
the  i-ed  <orpu9cles  increased,  and  the 
oirculation  cleanse'd  of  humors  by 
Ilaines  celery  compound.  Sleepless- 
ness that  ciau.ses  mmh  of  the  nei-\-ous 
prostration  among  women  is  entirely 
within  the  i-ontrol  of  every  p^-rson  who 
will  tak'e  pains  to  correct  the  bad  habit 
the  brain  has  fallen  into.  Profes'.^r  Ed- 
ward E.  Phelps.  M.D..  LL.D.,  of  the 
Dartmouth  medicvil  school,  in  announ- 
cing his  wonderful  <iis<'overy  of  Pain>;'s 
celery  <'ompound  at  «i  meeting  of  the 
Dartmouth  medical  faculty,  showed  htiw 
closely  he  had  studjied.  in 
ings    upon    health,    such 


all  their  bear- 
dis^nders      as 


sleeplessness,  blo<Hl  impurity  and  the 
nervous  dlsoses  that  are  likely  to  fol- 
low such  daily  i>oisoning  of  the  s>'stem. 
Pajine's  celery  compound  by  its  pro- 
nounced nourishing  jnuver  enables  the 
nerves  to  get  back  their  control  owr 
the  circulation  so  that  the  blood  supply 
b  r;-omes  gi"eatest  where  it  is  most  net«d- 
ed.  as  in  the  stomach  after  eating,  and 
least  where  its  presence  can  only  d<» 
hann.  as  in  the  brain  when  slee-p  is 
ne.;-<lful. 

The  nerv  s,  whtn  they  are  strong  and 
properly  nourish<*d.  limit  the  flow  of 
blood  to  the  head  and  draw  off  the  ex- 
cess from  the  brain,  thus  ensuring  re- 
fri-shing  sleep.  Persoiis  who  wak-  up 
rird,  drowsy  and  amhitionless,  or  can 
not  sleep  a  whole  night  through  are 
suffering  from  disordered  nerves. 
Paine's  celery  compound  calms  and 
feeds  the  nerves  evfn  to  their  tiniest 
branchings,  and  they  in  their  turn  are 
cntable<l  to  equalize  the  blo^Ki  supply 
over  the  body  thus  sparing  the  heart, 
preventing  congestions  and  rushes  of 
blood  to        the        head,        dizziness 

paralysis.  pain  over  the  heart, 
and  those  headaches  that  seem 
to  <ome  and  go  without  any 
gtjod  rtason,  and  are  so  inexplicable  to 
hosts  of  men  and  women. 

It  thus  indJrt-ctly,  but  none  the  less 
surely,  relieves  th--  dangerous  jires^ur-' 
on  the  kidneys  and  heart,  which  event- 
ually leads  to  their  rapid  deterioration 
and  breakdown. 

This  great  invigorator  Is  a  long  step 
forwtard  in  the  d  finite  lure  of  m'rvoun 
<lisease.s  and  di.s<»rders  that  are  indufvd

London.  F<'l>.  l!<.  — (cVipyriKht.  1S;>S.  by 
the  Associated  Press.) — The  newspa- 
per opinions  expressed  and  tht*  offieial 
messagres  sent  convey  only  a  partial 
idea  of  the  universal  sympatJiy  for  the 
I'nited  States  felt  on  aecount  of  the 
terrible  disaster  to  <he  battleship 
Maine  in  Havana  harbor.  Th--  official 
world  is  naturally  deeply  Interested 
and  every  opportunity  has  been  taken 
to  express  regret  to  ihe  I'nited  Stat--s 
charge  d'affaires.  Her.ry  White,  in  the 

absence  of  the  I'nited  States  ambas- 
sador. Col.  John  Hay.  who  is  travel- 
ins  in  Egypt.  Hut  in  addition  to  this 
many  private  Americans  livins?  here 
are  receiving  letters  and  calls  of  re- 
gret and  sympathy  from  thei'-  Eng- 
lish friends.  On  the  day  of  the 
funeral  of  the  victims,  whose  bodi-s 
were  recovered,  the  tlags  over  the  con- 
sulate were  half  nuisted  and  at  South- 
ampton many  of  the  ships  foUoAing 
the  lead  of  those  of  the  American  line, 
half    masted    their    ensigns. 

The  press  continues  its  warning 
that  the  situation  in  West  Africa  be- 
tween France  and  iJreat  Britain  is 
growing  more  critical.  It  is  impossible 
to  abandon"  the  British  flag  without 
Imss   of  honor,    it    is  said. 

According  to  the  Daily  Chronicle, 
France  aad  Germany  are  casting 
covetous  eyes  upon  Liberia  and  are 
contemplating  its  annexation.  It  is 
widely  accepted  that  Joseph  Chami>er- 
lain.  the  secretary  of  state  for  the 
colonies,  is  endeavoring  to  put  back- 
bone into  the  marijuis  of  Saiisburys 
dealings  with  France,  Mr.  Chamberlain 
persisting  in  viewing  the  matter  pure- 
ly from  the  point  of  view  of  the  colon- 
ial offlce  and  urging  nnove  all  things 
the  maintenance  of  Great  Britain's  in- 
terests as  a  colonizing  power.  Sir 
Thomas  Wemyss  Reid,  editor  of  the 
Speaker,  is  responsible  for  the  state- 
ment that  Mr.  Chamberlain  would  have 
pushed  his  pro- British  policy  in  Africa 
to  the  risk  of  war.  and  the  mariiuis  of 
Salisbury's  attitude  in  opposmg  it, 
therefore,  lends  some  countenance  to 
the  gossip  that  the  queen  has  in- 
formed the  marquis  of  Salisbury  that 
she  will  never  again  sign  a  declaration 
of  war. 

Thus  a  high  naval  oflRcer  writes  from 
the  admiralty  to  a  fiicnd:  "I  am 
grieved  to  hear  of  this  lamentable  acci- 
dent to  the  Maine,  which  will  move  with 
sympathy  every  man  who  has  ever  liv  d 
aboard  a  man-of-war.  When  our  little 
Doterel  was  similarly  destroyed  the  feel- 
ing was  strong  in  England  that  it  was  a 
dynamite  explosion.  I  was  employed  on 
the  inquiry,  and  it  was  with  a  feeling  of 
relief  that  Professor  Abel  testified  that 
he  had  ample  reason  to  believe  that  an 
explosion  of  coal  gas  had  occurred  which 
caused  the  powder  magazines  to  explode. 
Later  we  discovered  that  the  dryer, 
known  as  zerotine  siccative,  was  the 
probable  cause." 

Two  bills  which  have  been  introduced 
in  the  house  and  which  undoubtedly 
will  become^law.  have  excited  much 
interest.  One  of  them  proposes  to 
make  an  unauthorized  translation  an 
infringement  of  a  copyright  and  ex- 
tends the  copyright  to  lectures  and 
sermons  and  forbids  reports  of  them. 
A  national  measure  provides  maga- 
zine authors  are  the  owners  of  the 
copyright  of  their  articles  after  three 
years  and  verses  are  protected  from 
dramatization. 

The  other  I>ill  provides  for  the  re- 
form of  company  promoting,  making 
directors,  promoters  and  vendors  in- 
dividually liable  for  loss  arising  from 
false  statements  and  also  providing  a 
renalty  of  imprisonment  for  a  term 
not  exceeding  two  years. 

The  future  of  the  Imperial  institute 
is  threatened  by  the  action  of  the 
colony  of  Victoria  by  a  withdrawal  of 
its  grant  by  a  maintenance  of  the  in- 
stitute, claiming  it  is  useless  lo  the 
colony.  They  will  probably  tie  fol- 
lowed by  other  Australian  colonics 
taking  similar  action. 

It  is  said  that  Mr.  Gladstone  is  jom- 
ing  home  to  die.  An  eye  witness  who 
saw  his  departure  from  the  Riv.era 
and  his  arrival  at  Calais,  reports  a 
striking  change  in  the  old  state-Oman's 
appearance.  Arrangements  had  been 
made  at  Calais  to  carry  his  chair  from 
the  train  to  the  hotel,  but  Mr.  Glad- 
stone was  determined  to  walk  th.^  dis- 
tance, thirty  yards,  and  was  carefully 
assisted  down  the  steps,  enveloped  in 
coats  and  rugs.  Heavily  leaning  (.n 
the  arms  of  two  gentlemen  he  slowly 
tottered  to  the  hotel. 

In  spite  of  Maj.  Pond's  denials  why 
Dr.  Nansen  has  not  publicly,  or  to  re- 
porters, criticized  America,  he  has 
been  remarkably  -frank  in  talking  v.ith 
his  friends  and  does  not  conceal  the 
fact  that  he  has  been  unfavorably  im- 
pressed with  American  life.  He  h;»s 
a  grievance  with  what  he  terms  th^ 
'inventions"  of  the  American  repou- 
ers.  "I  feel  at  home  here,"  he  said, 
"but  there,  in  spite  of  the  crowds.  I  felt 
a  lack  of  sympathy  with  my  scientific 
achievements.  In  many  cases  the 
people  only  wanted  to  stare  and  they 
would  have  been  equally  pleased  if  I 
had  got  up  and  sung  a  comic  song." 

The  Order  of  the  Crown,  started  in 
New  York,  is  discussed  with  groat 
glee  here  by  the  Daily  Chronicle,  the 
Daily  Mail  and  other  newspapers, 
Vanity  Fair  declaring  that  it  is  quite 
the  nature  of  things  that  such  an  or- 
der be  born  in  New  York,  adding:  "It 
is  always  the  republican,  the  man  of 
democratic,  if  not  socialistic,  tend- 
encies who  has  the  keenest  appre- 
ciation of  the  advantages  which  aris- 
tocracy po.isesses." 

.Social  interest  is  concentrated  on  the 
ball  which  Lord  Rosel)ery  is  to  give  on 
Monday  and  at  which  two  of  his 
daughters  are  to  come  out.  Though 
it  is  chiefly  "for  the  young,  it  will  Ite 
a  very  magnificent  affair.  The  prince 
of  Wales  will  be  there  and  it  is  said 
that  the  ball  marks  the  determination 
of  Lord  Rosebery  to  entertain  more 
lavishly  than  hitherto  and  to  be  more 
in  evidence  among  social  and  political 
people  in  view  of  his  reported  inten- 
tion  to  resume   his  leadership. 

The  weather  has  been  most  m.ild 
and  unprecedented.  There  are  lilacs, 
etc..  in  the  parks  and  the  cuckoos  have 
arrived  two  months  in  advance  cf 
their  usual  time. 

At  the  theaters  the  chief  succesros 
continue  to  be  at  the  Court,  the  Hr.y- 
market  and  Criterion,  rather  unex- 
pectedly at  Her  Majesty's  and  at  the 
Duke  of  York's,  where  George  Ed- 
ward produced  an  adaptation  of  ".la- 
lous"  on  Saturday  with  Ellis  Jeffreys 
and    Seymour    Hicks    in    the     leading 


parts.      This  promises  Xo  be  one  of  the 

suc«esses  of  the  season,  llie  prlnct*  of 
Wales  having  set  the  seal  of  approval 
upon  It.  On  Monday  the  Empire  pro-

a  Fight. 


HAD  A  RED  HOT  TIME 


THE  MINSTREL  SHOW 


Lyceum  Packed   From  Top  to 
Bottom—Magnificent  Per- 
formance Given. 

The  Lyceum  was  packed  last  evening 
at  the  performance  given  by 
the  Duluth  Magnificent  Mas- 

todon minstrels,  and  ovation  after  ova- 
tion was  given  from  the  moment  the 
curtain  rose  «m  the  brilliant  stage  scene 
until  it  went  down  at  the  close.  It  was 
a  show  that  would  have  done  credit  to 
any  profe.ssional  comjiany  and  it  was 
staged  and  carried  out  without  a  hitch 

The  first  part  presented  a  handsome 
l>icture.  The  end  men  wore  suits  with 
brilliant  red  collars,  and  stripes  and  im- 
mense yellow  chrysanthemums  decor- 
ated their  coat  lapels.  The  chorus  men 
wore  black  dress  suits  with  white 
gloves.  Behind  them  wert-  about  twen- 
ty boys  fmm  St.  Paul's  church  choir 
with  white  blouses  and  red  collars.  The 
orchestra  was  on  a  raised  platform  in 
the  rear.  Frank  L.  Taylor  was  inter- 
locutor and  tilled  the  position  with  ad- 
mirable dignity  and  grace. 

The  jokes  and  songs  in  the  first  part 
were  excellent.  G.  Fred  Stevens,  Jack 
Martin,  John  Doran,  Charles  Apple- 
hagen  and  Robert  Cox  carried  the 
"gags"  and  hits,  and  brought  them  out 
with  excellent  eff-ct.  The  ballads  sung 
were  "Only  One  Heart  Divine."  by  F 
W.  Maynard:  "Drinking  Song,"  bv 
Franz  Schultz;  "The  Old  Rag  Carpet," 
by  D.  G.  Black.  All  were  very  pretty 
and  were  enthusiastically  encored.  John 
Doran  sang  "My  Coal  Black  Lady,"  a 
catchy  coon  song,  and  CharKy  Apple- 
hagen  sang.  "Ma  Caroline"  anothef 
pleasing  darky  air.  Jack  Martin  made 
the  hit  of  the  evening  in  the  vocal  line 
with  his  song  "Warmest  Baby  in  de 
Bunch"  and  was  twice  recalled.  Master 
Shirley  Alexandt-r  sang  a  very  pretty 
lullaby  "Two  Little  Pumpkin  Colored 
Coons."  The  first  closed  with  a  clever 
impersonation  of  John  Philip  Sousa.  the 
famous  bandmaster,  by  D.  Roy  Smith. 
The  familiar  poses  and  movements  of 
the   "March   King"   were   well  given. 

The  chores  work  was  magnificent  and 
reflected  great  credit  on  Professor  Cus- 
tance,  who  drilled  it.  The  choir  boys 
added  greatly  to  the  effect  of  the  choru^. 
The  orchestra,  too.  should  not  be  for- 
gotten for  it  aided  greatly  in  the  suc- 
cess of  the  show. 

The  second  part  opened  with  a  few 
remarks  by  John  Doran  and  he  made  a 
great  Irit.  His  witty  comments  on  local 
political  matters  and  municipal  ques- 
tions brought  the  house  down  and  his 
manner  was  inimitable.  Goehringer  and 
Hubbard,  a  banjo  team,  vyere  among 
the  cleverest  ever  heard  here  and  were 
recalled  again  and  again.  Dr.  Lynam 
gave  an  exhibition  of  club  swinging 
that  was  excellent.  A  more  rapid  club 
swinger  it  would  be  hard  to  find.  G 
Fred  Stevens  as  a  great  big  Swede  boy 
was  a  perfect  picture  of  the  character 
and  had  the  crowd  with  him  from  the 
start.  He  told  funny  stories  and  re- 
cited poetry  in  an  excellent  Swedish 
dialect.  Shorty  Harris,  the  buck  dancer, 
failed  to  arrive  from  Minneapolis,  and 
his  place  was  filled  by  three  diminutive 
newsboys,  two  singing,  and  the  third 
giving  a  clever  dance. 

When  Lansing  R.  Robinson  bounded 
on  the  stage  in  the  character  of  a  gay 
coon  girl  the  audience  was  paralyzed 
for  a  moment  at  the  burst  of  coo^i 
feminine  loveliness  which  was  thrust 
before  it  and  then  broke  into  wild  ap- 
plause. His  song  and  .iance  provoked 
the  wildest  hilarity.  Mr.  Robinson's 
brother  was  in  th-  gallery  and  answered 
his  song.  He  has  a  fine  voice  and  this 
feature  made  a  great  hit. 

John  Doran  and  Charley  Applehagen 
gave  one  of  their  Irish  and  German 
specialties  which  always  catch  a  crowd 
and  it  did  not  fail  to  this  time.  C 
Goehringer  was  sten  in  a  specialty, 
"Old  Uncle  Eph,  from  Alabama."  His 
makeup  and  acting  were  excellent,  and 
he  gave  a  very  clever  dance.  The  per- 
formance closed  with  a  drill  by  Capt. 
Harry  Newton's  Hus.sars.  They  went 
through  a  series  of  intricate  evolutions 
in   a  brilliant  manner. 

The  entire  performance  was  under  the 
management  of  Fred  W.  Maynard  and 
to  him  belongs  a  great  share  of  the 
credit.  Harry  Newton  was  in  chargt 
of  the  stage  and  the  faultless  and 
prompt  manner  in  which  the  show- 
moved,  prove  that  he  was  the  man  for 
the  place. 


Trouble  Was  Over  the  Award 

of  Prizes— Mrs.  Flick*s 

Alaskan  Plans. 


The  X.  Y.  Z.  chib'.s  fancy  dress  car- 
nival at  the  skating  rink  last  night  at- 
tracted a  very  large  crowd,  which  did 
not  lack  for  exc-itement  during  the  en- 
tire evening.  Interest  centered  in  tlu 
contest  for  the  most  popular  young  lady 
and  gentleman.  The  prize  awarded  to 
the  former  was  an  oak  center  table,  and, 
after  a  great  deal  of  quarreling,  which 
threatened  to  develop  into  a  riot,  it  was 
i^arricd  oft  by  Mi.ss  Jessie  Priest,  al- 
though two  other  contestants.  Miss  Mary 
Bede»ll  and  Miss  Anna  Laughney,  each 
received  a  greater  number  of  votes  than 
she.  Miss  Priest.  however,  was  In 
fancy  dress  costuine,  while  Miss  Bedell 
and  Miss  Laughney  were  not,  and  the 
rink  management  decided  that  they  were 
not  qualified  to  participate  in  the  con- 
test, and  the  prize  was  therefore  award- 
ed to  Miss  Priest.  This  decision  created 
dissatisfaction  among  the  partisans  of 
Miss  Bedell  and  Miss  Liiughney,  and 
the  conti  nding  factii)ns  almost  came  to 
l)lows. 

The  prize  for  the  most  j)opular  gi.ntK- 
man,  .a  box  of  union  macJe  cigars,  went 
to  Peter  Campbell.  He  leceived  I'OO 
votes.  William  Wri.ght  was  Campl)eirs 
most  dangerous  rival,  with  ISO  votes. 
William  Brolherton  was  third  in  the 
race*. 


MRS.  FLICK'S  PLANS. 
Mrs.  Emma  Flick  said  today  that  she 
expected  to  leave  for  Alaska  about  Maj 
1.  Mrs.  Flick  will  go  out  with  a  colony, 
composed  of  about  seventy-five  families, 
the  heads  of  which  are  for  the  most 
part  business  men.  Some  of  them  will 
come  from  Wisconsin,  and  others  from 
Green  and  Franklin  counties,  Iowa.  Mrs. 
Flick's  brother  will  be  one  of  the  num- 
ber. The  plan  of  the  organizers  of  the 
colony  is  to  locate  at  some  point  on  the 
Yukon  river,  l)etween  St.  Michaels  and 
Dawson  City,  and  start  a  town.  Each 
family  will  lay  in  a  large  stock  of  pro- 
visions and  general  supplies,  and  the 
majority  of  them  will  take  along  stocks 
of  goods  with  which  to  start  stores.  Mrs. 
Flick  said  that  thty  expected  there 
would  be  a  great  deal  of  travel  up  and 
down  the  river,  and  that  opportunities 
fur  profitable  trading  would  be  excel- 
lent. Her  brother  has  been  in  Alaska, 
and  is  well  acquainted  with  the  country. 
The  colonists  know  exactly  where  the 
prospective  town  is  to  be  loc^ated,  and 
believe  that  their  plan  offers  better 
chances  for  making  money  than  will  be 
found  in  the  gold  fields.  Mrs.  Flick  in- 
tends to  take  a  stock  of  goods  with  her. 
The  fact  that  she  had  decided  to  go  to 
Alaska  has  interested  a  number  of  other 
West  Duluth  ladies,  and  it  is  not  im- 
probable that  several  of  them  will  joiii 
the  party.

TO  MATCH  THE  EYES. 

Pearson's  Weekly:  "Have  you  any 
neckties?"  inquired  the  dandified  young 
man,  addressing  the  proprietor.  Then, 
tuinir.g  to  his  companion,  he  said  with  a 
slight  lisp:  "I  have  a  fad  for  getting 
neckties  as  souvenirs  of  every  place  1 
visit.  It's  my  own  idea,  don't  you 
know." 

'What  color  do  you  want?"  inquired 
the  proprietor,  surveying  his  customer 
through  a  pair  of  gold-rimmed  spac- 
tadee, 

"Oh— ah— I'm  very  fond  of  having 
thtrn  to  match  the  color  of  my  eyes," 
said  the  young  man  languidly,  opening 
his  small  cjrbs  to  their  widest  extent. 

"Haven't  got  any  neckties  that  will  do. 
then."  said  the  proprietor,  shaking  his 
head  decidedly.  "I've  got  plain  blue 
ones,  real  pale  blue  ones,  but  none  with 
pink  edges."

WEST  DULUTH  BRIEFS. 

K.  J.  Sanvig,  of  Fertil,  Minn.,  was  in 
West  Duluth  yesterday  looking  after  his 
property  here. 

John  Winness,  who  went  to  Ward, 
Minn.,  last  spring,  has  returned  to  West 
Duluth  with  his  family. 

Herman  A.  Schreck's  meat  market  on 
Grand  avenue,  was  entered  by  burglars 
last  night  and  several  pieces  of  meat 
were  stolen. 

The  West  Duluth  Degree  of  Honor 
lodge  had  a  very  pleasant  meeting.  A 
sleighload  of  members  of  the  West  Su- 
perior lodge  came  over  and  participated, 
and  after  the  lodge  work  was  disposed 
of,  refreshments  were  served,  and  the 
floor  was  cleared  for  dancing. 

John  C.  Anderson  now  is  located  at 
326  Central  avenue,  across  the  street 
from  his  former  stand,  where  he  will  be 
glad  to  meet  his  old  customers.

REMARKABLE     HYPNOTISM. 

A  Strange  story  of  attempted  murder 
i.<5  told  this  week.  A  doctor  was  consult- 
ed by  a  lady,  who  complain-^l  of  terri- 
ble, hallucinations  impelling  her  to 
commit  suicide,  says  a  Paris  cable,gram. 

The  doctor  discovered  in  the  course 
of  conversation  that  her  husband  had 
insurenl  his  wife's  lif*-  for  a  <'onsidc-r- 
able  sum  and  al.so  was  in  the  habit  of 
hypnotizing  her.  Thinking  there  might 
be  some  relation  between  the  two  facts, 
the  doctor  sent  the  patient  to  sleep  and 
ordered  her  to  reveal  what  her  hus- 
b.and   had    suggeat-^d    to   hor. 

He  obtalneci  in  the  presence  of  wit- 
nesses the  revelation  that  the  woman's 
husband  had  ordered  her  to  <-omtnit 
suicide  in  two  months.  She  had  also 
been  told  to  keep  the  order  seKret.  The 
insurance  companies'  rules  provided  for 
payment  even  in  the  case  of  suicide, 
and  but  for  the  dcx^tor's  suspicions  hav- 
ing been  arooised  the  husband's  plan 
would  have  be«n  successful.

William  Kahnbach.  from  the  Duluth  dis- 
trict. His  application  to  contest  the  al-

Fifteenth  avenue  east  and  Fourth

the'  superstructure  arrived  yesterday,  and 
it  was  expe(;ted  that  the  iron  would 
come  today.  When  these  bridges  are 
finished  the  36-inch  main  will  be  com-

LYNCHED  BY  SWALLOWS. 
A  successful  lynching  took  place  on 
the  farm  jf  Jerome  Butler,  south  of 
Marlette,  Mich.,  the  other  day,  says 
the  Grand  Rapids  Herald.  In  the  barn 
a  swallow'^  nest  was  seen  clinging  to 
the  side  of  a  lieam  from  which  was 
suspended  an  English  sparrow,  hung 
by  the  neck  with  a  hair  from  a  horse's 
tail.  While  Frank  Butler  and  Orla 
Ailxrtson  v.ere  sitting  in  »ne  barn  they 
noticed  a  S!;>arrow  go  into  the  swallow's 
nest,  from  which  he  began  pitching  the 
young  birds.  The  swallows,  attracted 
by  their  outcry,  immediately  pounced 
upon  the  irtruder.  After  confining  him 
to  the  nest  for  a  few  minutes  th.V 
threw  him  out.  He  dropped  about  a 
foot,  there  was  a  je'rk,  and  Mr.  Spar- 
row was  hanged  as  nicely  as  though 
an  expert  hangman  had  been  in  charge. 
The  hair  was  wound  around  his  neck 
s-  veral  times,  and  after  a  few  ineffec- 
tual  struggles    he   kicked    his    last.

of  it. 

"I  wish  you  would  leave  out  tlialc  'emi-

"Very  good,  sir."

had  been  carried  out  to  the  letter.  The

"Terrallne  for  Consumption." 


I  Greatest  Preparation 

I  Known  to  the  1 9th  Century. 


The  chartoi"  commission  last  evening 
fini.shed  the  discu.'^sion  of  the  new 
charter,  and  the  charter  Is  now  in  the 
hands  of  the  revisory  committee,  to  lie 
finally  put  in  shape.  The  provisions 
relative  to  contracts  and  municipal 
franchises,  that  have  bc^en  referred  back 
to  the  drafting  committee,  will  be  re- 
ported direct  to  the  revisory  committee 
tci  save  time-,  lienceforth,  the  commis- 
sion will  meet  only  on  call,  when  neces- 
sary, to  reK^elve  reponts  from  the  revisory 
committee.  The  latter  will  take  up  its 
work  on  Tuesday  evening.  It  will  not 
lie  necessary  that  the  commission  meet 
as  a  body  more  than  once  or  twice  prob- 
ably. 

Chairman  Greene  informed  the  com- 
mission last  night  that  the  ladies  were 
after  him.  This  disclusiue  of  his  peril 
was.  received  with  evidences  of  concern. 
Mr.  Greene  went  on  to  explain  that  they 
were  after  him  cm  the  subject  of  police 
matron.  While  not  inclined  to  take  the 
view  that  a  matron  was  an  ab.solutt 
necessity,  his  nerve  had  finally  weak- 
ened, he  said,  to  the  extent  of  promising 
to  favor  the  authorization  of  such  aii 
official  by  the  charter,  so  that  the  mayor 
might  appoint  one  if  he  thought  it  neces- 
sary. 

Commissioner  Gilbert  thou.ght  th-j 
council  ought  to  have  a  say  in  the  mat- 
ttf,  but  Chairman  Greene  said  the  ladies 
who  had  called  on  him  had  said  they 
would  be  satisfied  to  have  the  appoint- 
ment in  the  hands  of  the  mayor. 

On  motion  of  Commissioner  Smith,  the 
charter  was  amended  to  give  the  mayor 
authority  to  appoint  a  matron. 

The  question  of  the  division  of  assess- 
m.ents,  which  was  postponed  from  last 
week,  was  first  taken  up  last  night.  It 
was  decided,  without  debate  and  l^y 
unanimous  vote,  that  they  should  not  be 
divided. 

The  provision  for  penalty  and  interest 
on  assessments  on  becoming  delinquent 
were,  on  motion  of  Commissioner  Harri- 
son, amended  by  Commissioner  Hudson, 
amended  to  make  the  penalty  2  per 
•ent  and  the  interest  12  per  cent.  It  was 
the  concensus  of  opinion  of  the  commis- 
sioners that  a  high  rate  of  interest  would 
be  a  more  just  way  of  enforcing  pay- 
ment than  attaching  a  penalty  at  a 
stated  time.  The  operation  of  the  pro- 
vision for  a  penalty  would  be  to  give 
owners  of  property  assessed  soon  after 
Nov.  1  nearly  a  whole  year  free  eif  pen- 
alty, while  the  penalty  on  assessments 
made  just  before  that  date  would  follow 
at  once.  In  case  judgment  should  fail, 
also,  the  city  would  be  in  receipt  of  a 
good  rate  of  interest  meanwhile.  A 
penalty  sufficient  to  cover  the  costs  of 
judgment  was  all  that  was  required  with 
such  a  high  rate  of  interest,  it  was  felt, 
and  it  was  estimated  that  2  per  cent 
would  be  sufficient. 

As  the  provisions  stand  now,  assess- 
ments bear  6  per  cent  interest  from  the 
date  of  confirmation  to  Nov.  1  succeed- 
ing; on  the  latter  date  a  penalty  of  2 
lier  cent  attaches  and  the  interest  be- 
comes 12  per  cent  and  continues  at  that 
rate  until  redemption. 

Amendments  were  introduced  provid- 
ing that  the  rights  of  a  purchaser  al 
delinquent  sale  shall  always  be  para- 
mount to  the  rights  of  purchasers  at 
former  sales;  that  interest  at  12  per  cent 
from  the  time  of  paying  the  delinquent 
assessment  or  assessments  by  the  pur- 
chaser shall  be  collected  by  the  latter, 
but  that  12  per  cent  interest  shall  be 
collected  on  subsequent  assessments  paid 
by  such  purchaser  only  from  the  time  of 
their  becoming  delinquent;  and  that 
matters  available  on  appe>^al  from  the 
confirmation  of  the  assessment  by  the 
corrtmissioner  of  public  works  shall  not 
be  available  by  way  of  objections  before 
the  court,  except  that  payment  is  always 
a  defense. 

A  provision  that,  in  case  the  amount 
adjudged  a  lien  against  any  piece  nr 
parcel  does  not  exceed  $50.  it  shall  be  sold 
to  satisfy  the  whole  at  the  next  annual 
sale,  and  in  case  it  exceeds  that  amount 
it  shall  be  sold  annually  for  sufficient  to 
satisfy  one-fifth  of  the  judgment,  costs, 
penalties  and  interest,  was  stricken  out, 
and  the  committee  on  revision  instructed 
to  draft  a  provision  as  to  the  manner  of 
sale. 

On  motion  of  Commissioner  Gilbert, 
the  committee  on  revision  was  directed 
to  draft  a  title  relative  to  the  collection 
of  assessments  under  the  present  charter 
and  submit  it  at  the  next  meeting. 

The  remaining  provisions  as  to  assess- 
ments follow  in  the  main  the  provisions 
of  the  general  tax  law  of  this  state,  with 
some  features  as  to  proctdure  based  on 
the  Wisconsin  statutes,  and  with  such 
changes  as  are  necessitated  by  the  pro- 
vision for  collection  by  the  comptroller.

THE  JUNGFRAU  RAILWAY. 
The  l^atest  report  on  the  progress  of 
the  Jungfrau  railway  shows  that  the 
work  of  construction  i.s  being:  pushed 
forwa<rd,  notwithstanding-  the  severe 
wtiathvr  prevailing  this  winter  in 
Switzerland,  says  the  Neiw  York  Post. 
Water  power  to  the  extent  of  2400 
horse-power  is  now  available  at  Lau- 
terbrunnen,  half  of  this  force  being 
utilized  'or  the  dynamos  employed  in 
the  boring  of  the  Elger  glacier  tunnel. 
The  m'ountain  sti-^am  has  been  divert- 
ed fi\>m  its  course  for  a  distance  of 
t?ix  miles,  extending  from  the  water- 
wheel  house  to  Scheidegg  station  an<l 
the  Elger  glacier,  while  the  open  line 
between  the  Scheidegg  and  the  glacier, 
with  its  tunnel  of  eighty-eight  yards, 
is  finished  in  its  main  details,  so  that 
the  electric  railway  over  this  swtion 
will  probably  be  open^Ed  in  the  first 
half  of  next  June  and  in  time  fin-  the 
tourist  *;ela.si)n.  The  principal  tunjiel 
has  been  <;irried  to  a  distance  of  164 
.yards  by  hand  boring — chiefly  done  by 
Italian  workmen— land  the  preiimin- 
aries  for  tra<.'dng  out  the  grtvit  tunnel 
have  been  ac<omplished  after  some  two 
years  of  labor.  The  rock  is  found  to 
be  excellently  adaptwi  for  tunneling 
and  experiments  on  the  Jungfraujoch 
have  provfHl  that  it  is  reached  at  a 
depth  var>-ing  from  80  feet  to  100  feet 
under  the  snow,  instead  of  at  2.'}0  feet, 
as  was  at  first  expected.  In  connection 
with  Swiss  mountain  railways,  it  Js 
announced  that  the  opening  trial  of 
the  Ctornergrat  electdic  raiilway  has 
pmved  t*atisfactory.  The  line  was  com- 
pletetl  a  .short  tixne  ago,  aiWl  !s  to  be 
opened  for  passenger  traffic  early  In 
the    spring.

The  board  of  trade  has  commenced 
the  publication  of  a  series  of  useful 
ufflcial  reports  showing  the  produr- 
tioi.  and  consumption  of  alcoholi'^  li- 
quors, chiefly  beer,  wine  and  spirits,  in 
the  chief  European  countries  and  the 
United    States,    says    the   London    Mail. 

The  first  striking  fact  is  the  geogra- 
phical distribution  of  alcoholic  bever- 
age. Generally  speaking,  spirits  are 
•  onsumel  in  he  North,  where  cold 
and  wet  dim  iti-.,  ,iievail.  and  wine  in 
the  Souih.  In  lias  ii.  spirits  are  almost 
ihe  only  drink.  In  Germany  the  Balvi. 
firovinces  drink  little  or  no  wm?,  Init 
ri'efer  spirits  with  some  beer,  while 
the  southern  provinces — Alsace-Lor- 
raine, Bavaria  and  Baden — consume  a 
cfnsiderable  quantity  of  wine  as  well 
as  much  beer. 

In  France  the  staple  beverage  of  the 
provinces  bordering  on  the  Mediter- 
ranean is  wine,  which  is  cheap  tle^re. 
but  the  colder  departments  of  Xorth- 
crn  France  drink  far  more  spirit:^.  Th.> 
same  difference  of  taste  distingui«he:< 
Northern  and  Southern  Italy.  Beer 
is,  of  course.  t]y  staple  drink  in  Eng- 
land and  spirits  in  Scotland  and  Ire- 
land. 

From  the  taxation  of  alcoholic  bever- 
ages the  I'nited  Kingdom  derives  "5 
per  cent  of  its  total  revenue.  the 
L'nited  States  30  per  cent.  France  19 
per  cent,  and  Germany  17 V>  per  cent, 
;;nd  it  is  in  these  countries  that  tiie 
amount  of  drink  consumed  is  the 
largest. 

France  is  the  country  where  the 
coxisurnption  of  wine  is  the  largos:, 
and  also,  generally  speaking,  the 
country  where  the  production  is  livr.'V- 
'  St,  too.  though  of  late  years  the  pro- 
duction in  Italy  has  sometimes  ex- 
ceeded it.  In  the  I'nited  Klngd-nn 
the  consuniDtion  of  wine  in  1^96 
reached  15,776.000  gallons,  but  this  -^afe 
comparatively  little  when  contrasted 
with  last  year's  consumption  of  b^^or. 
which  exceeded  1,200,000.000  gallon^*,  or 
fifty  gallons  for  every  member  of  the 
population. 

The  people  of  Bavaria  are  the  world'.'? 
champion  drinkers,  their  consumption 
of  beer  amounts  to  fifty  gallons  p.>r 
head  of  the  population  in  a  yeir.  Bel- 
gium ranks  second,  where  more  than 
fort>-three  gallons  per  head  of  l>'^?r 
.-re  ccnsumed.  It  is  the  proud  pri- 
vilege of  the  ITnited  Kingdom  t<^  oc- 
cupy third  place.  With  over  thirty  gal- 
lons per  head,  relatively  to  popula- 
tion, we  beat  Germany  at  the  game  -i.id 
drink  mon'  beer,  both  in  the  to'al  and 
per  head,  than  Frenduuen  drink  wine. 

To  give  each  nation  its  proper  status 
in  th.-  legion  of  drinkers,  wo  compile 
from  the  official  returns  the  consump- 
tion per  head  of  l>cer,  wine  and  spir- 
it:-  in   four  countries: 


alcohol  made  from  other  vegera'i'le 
substances;  hence  French  branl.v  >ias 
suffered  much  in  public  esiimatiun. 
The  Fi-ench  divide  their  alcohol  mlo 
four  classes — alcohol  ethylique.  iviade 
from  grape,  alcohol  prophylique  made 
from  the  refuse  of  wine  or  from  other 
fruit;  alcohol  butylique.  from  molass- 
es or  beet  rot.  and  alcohol  amyliquc, 
from  potatoes  or  corn.  All  but  the  first 
are  progressively  noxious  in  the  ord'-r 
named;  indeed,  poisonous  in  some  de- 
gree, the  last  named  being  ni  1st  so. 
The  suggestion  is  made  that  the^se 
varieties  of  brandy  should  Iw  .^tamiiej 
or  lalieled  for  export,  so  as  to  di-^- 
tinguish  them,  and  thus  rei'ovi-r 
some  of  the  reputation  which  French 
brandies  at  one  time  enjoyed. 

The  facts  adduced  in  i-elation  to  the 
I'nited  States  are  somewhat  remark- 
able. It  cannot  be  considered,  the  -e- 
port  states,  a  large  beer  drinking  na- 
tion any  more  than  it  can  be  consid- 
ered a  large  wine-drinking  naiion.  The 
production  and  sonsumption  of  spir- 
its has  for  some  years  past  hi-en  de- 
creasing: in  fact,  it  may  be  said  g^i- 
erally  that  of  the  three  alcoholic  bever- 
ages the  consumption  of  wine  and 
spirits  is  distinctly  diminishin,^'.  while 
the  consumption  of  beer  has  only  kept 
pace  with  the  increase  of  population. 

These  circumstances  aie  certainly 
worth  investigating  so  as  to  discov  r 
whether  they  are  due  to  the  spread 
of  temperance  principles  or  t<»  the  trade 
depression  which  has  existed  for  some 
time.  The  United  States  fiscal  au- 
thorities attribute  it  to  the  latter 
cause,  and  state  that  they  look  for- 
ward to  improved  receipts  if  the 
promised  improvement  in  business  con- 
ditions  is   even  partially   realized.

i'losident  MfKwen  of  tho  Trades  as- 
sembly has  receivod  notice  that  the 
semi-annual  convention  of  the  State 
Ff-ileration  of  L.aJ>i>r  \\ill  W  hoUl  June

about  March  1."..  Each  union  Is  entitled 
to  one  delegate  for  each  twenty-five 
members  or  rractii>n  thereof,  but  nt» 
union  Is  allowed  more  than  five  dele- 
Kates.  The  assembly  sends  five.  .\t 
the  coming:  convention  an  opportunity 
win  be  affoixieil  for  a  compj^'hf'nsive 
view  of  the  results  of  the  operation 
of  the  plan  for  organization  adopted 
at  the  last  convention.  It  is  expected 
that  the  showing  will  be  fully  equal 
to  the  anticipations  of  the  most  en- 
thusiastic advocates  ot  the  plan.  A 
matter  of  prime  importance  that  will 
c.»me  before  the  convention  is  the  ques- 
tion of  action  li»oking  ti>  the  election  of 
members  of  the  legislature  pledged  to 
us»>  their  intluence  for  and  to  support 
legislatii>n  favi)rable  to  trades  union- 
Ism.  Resolutions  will  be  introiluced 
calling  on  the  local  unions  to  support 
such  men  only.  It  is  expected  that 
the  resolutions  will  be  adopteil  by  an 
ovt-rwhelming  majority,  if  not,  indeed, 
by  an  unanimous  vote.  Organized  labor 
will  endeavor  and  hopes  t>  be  able  to 
put    its  own  condidates   in    the   field   in 

some  districts.

The  labor  bazar  has  engrossed  the  at- 
tention of  meml>ers  of  organized  labor 
this  week,  to  the  almost  entire  exclu- 
sion of  everything  else.  In  truth,  the 
bazar  will  prove  fully  worth  the  invest- 
ment of  time  and  labor,  both  to  organ- 
ized labor  and  to  Duiuth.  It  has  not 
only  added  greatly  to  the  prestige  of 
organized  labor,  but  has  opened  the 
eyes  of  Duiuth  people  to  the  resources 
of  their  city,  the  result  of  which  Is  a 
renewed  confidence  and  hope  that  will 
find  expression  in  increased  energy  of 
effort.  The  determination  to  continue 
the  bazar  far  four  days  next  week,  and 
rerhaps   for   the    whole    week,   is  hailed 

with  general  satisfaction.

lessor  Walter  F.  Willcox  t>f  e\)rnell  uni- 
versity said  some  interesting  things  in 
a  lecture  on  labor  or.canizatlons  in  I'.uf- 
falo  the  othir  day.  Professor  Williox 
.said  that  the  iinprov fineiit  in  the  condi- 
tion of  Knulish  laboring  classes  was 
due  mainly  to  organization,  but  he  was 
not  disposed  to  admit  that  labor  leaders, 
as  such,  des«'rved  the  credit  for  this 
improvement.  He  maintained  that  the 
strength  of  labor  organizations  Is  prin- 
cipally ilue  to  their  beneficiary  features, 
and  mention»>d  the  fact  that  the  Rroth- 
eiliot)d  of  I»i'omotiv€»  Kngineers, which  is* 
recognized  as  the  most  powerful  labor 
organizatitm  in  this  lountry.  pays  over 
90  per  cent  of  its  gross  receipts  for  in- 
surance and  but  .">  per  cent  for  the 
maintenance  of  strikes.  He  said  that  in 
IMKt  the  trades  unions  of  both  LiveriM>t>l 
and  the  I'nited  States  in  general  were 
strongly  soiialistic  in  their  tendencies, 
but  he  believed  that  the  trend  now  Is 
toward  a  nu)re  conservative  attitude. 
!  He  remark(\l  that  this  socialistic  atmos- 
!  phere  was  due  almost  wholly  to  the  in- 
I  lluence  of  the  teachings  of  the  late 
Henr.v  (leorge. 


GERMAN  GARMENT  WORKERS. 
The  recently  published  report  of  the 
Gcrmin  commission  of  lnvestigati.>n 
into  the  condition  of  garment  witrkers 
contains  the  following  statement:  "As 
to  general  health,  the  garment  workers 
are  unfortunately      situated.  Persons 

adopting  this  trade  are  generally  those 
who  are  physically  weak  or  are  in  poor 
health.  The  sanitary  condition  of  work- 
shops is  not  what  may  be  desired.  Over- 
crowding is  frequent,  and  ventilating  ap- 
pliances are  very  rarely  found.  Of  350 
factories  and  workshops  visited  in  Ber- 
lin, over  one  half  had  less  than  565  cubic 
feet  of  air  space  per  i)erson;  5  per  (vnt 
had  212.  and  some  had  only  106  and  141 
cubic  feet  air  si>ace  per  person.  Of  304t; 
dwelling  work.shoDs  visited,  about  1000 
were  simultanemisly  u.sed  as  living 
rooms,  tin  equal  nuinber  as  kitchens,  and 
about  900  were  also  bedrooms.  In  the 
remaining  eases  the' workshops  were  used 
for  two  or  more  other  purposes.  Thi 
danger  of  tenement  or  dwelling  work  as 
a  medium  for  the  spread  of  contagious 
diseases  was  also  a  subject  of  investiga- 
tion. In  the  above-named  dwelling 
workshops  there  weiv  during  two  yettrs 
forty  cases  of  diphtheria,  nineteen  of 
measles,  twenty-three  of  scarlet  fever 
and  five  of  consumption." 


GOING  TO  THE  CITIES. 
The  Bulletin  Municipal  of  Paris  reports 
that  the  How  of  French  country  people 
to  the  cities  is  rapidly  increasing.  This 
is  due  to  the  fact  that  conditions  have 
changed  so  much  in  late  years  that  many 
less  hands  are  needed  in  the  country;  the 
unemployed  go  to  the  cities  to  join  thi 
large  class  of  vagrants.  The  labcr 
buieau  of  Paris  reports  that  during  isye 
144,237  persons  found  a  night  refuge  in 
the  asylums  of  the  city  of  Paris. 


LABORERS  IN  THE  SOUTH. 
President  Mahon  of  the  Street  Rail- 
way Employes"  association  says:  "The 
conditions  of  the  laboring  people  in  the 
South  are  terrible,  and  it  is  the  most 
important  subject,  in  my  judgment,  be- 
fore the  wage  earners  of  this  country. 
Something  must  be  done  to  increase  the 
wages  of  the  South  if  we  hope  to  ob- 
tain a  high  standard  of  wages  through- 
out this  country.  Talk  about  sweat 
shops  In  our  great  cities:  they're  not  in 
it  compared  to  the  cheap  labor  In  the 
South.  I  found  that  children  were 
working  in  the  cotton  mills  of  Atlanta 
for  57  cents  per  week:  I  found  that 
young  women  were  working  in  the  cot- 
ton mills  of  Macon.  Ga.,  for  as  low  as 
12  cents  per  day.  I  found  street  rail- 
way men  working  eighteen  hours  per 
day  for  12  cents  an  hour." 


A  WHITE  SLAVERY. 
The  Massaohusetts  Single  Tax  league 
last  .Monday  gave  a  dinner  to  represen- 
tatives of  the  Massachusetts  clergy  and 
•women  at  the  Vendome.  One  of  the 
8i.>eakers  was  Rev.  Charles  D.  Williams. 
d>^an  of  Trinity  cathedral.  Cleveland. 
"The  many."  said  Dean  William...  "are 
crushed  and  ground  to  pieces  between 
the  upper  and  nether  millstones  of 
enormously  increasing  wealth  and  the 
private  ownership  of  tho.se  natural  op- 
portunities from  which  that  wealth  is 
produced.  We  have  today  a  white 
slavery  worse  in  .some  resoects  than 
black  slavery  before  the  war.  Indeed 
it  is  doubtful  whether  chattel  slavery 
would  persist  in  our  present  social  con- 
ditions even  if  there  had  been  no  war. 
It  would  not  pay.  It  is  cheaper  to  hire 
a  man  at  starvation  wages  when  you 
want  him,  and  discharge  him  when  you 
do  not  want  him.  with  no  feeling  of 
responsibility  for  his  fate,  than  to  main- 
tain him,  feed  him,  clothe  and  hou.se 
him,  in  work  and  out,  as  the  Southern 
planter  did  his  slave." 


THE  GRANITE  Cl^TTERS. 
Section  198  of  the  constitution  of  the 
Granite  Cutters'  National  union  reads: 
"On  and  after  the  year  1900  the  hours 
of  labor  shall  not  exceed  eight  per  day. 
with  bills  o<f  prices  on  the  basis  of  not 
less  than  $3."  In  all  correspondence  on 
the  letterheads  of  the  organization  the 
^bove  section  of  the  constitution  is 
quoted,  with  the  following  reminder: 
"Employers  and  members  are  reminded 
to  take  notice  and  govern  themselves 
accordingly." 


BRITISH  LABOR  DISPUTES. 
Mr.  Burnett,  chief  labor  correspondent 
of  the  British  board  of  trade,  gives 
some  interesting  figures  in  his  recent 
ofKclal  report  regarding  disputes  be- 
tween employers  and  employed.  The 
maximum  number  of  persons  affected  in 
any  year.concerning  which  statistics  are 
given,  was  636.386  in  1893.  and  this  large 
figure  was  due  to  the  coal  dispute  in 
the  federated  districts.  In  1894  the  net 
r*"!ult  of  the  changes  in  rates  of  wages 
•was  a  decrease  of  £49,091  per  week;  in 
1895  the  loss  was  £28,211;  while  in  1896 
there  was  a  net  increase  of  £26.592.  One 
satisfactory  feature  about  the  figures 
contained  in  the  report  is  the  fact  that 
they  sho-w  an  increasing  tendency 
among  employers  and  employed  to 
settle  disputes  bv  other  methods  than 
that  of  a  strike.  During  1896  forty-seven 
dispute.*,  involving  20.221  workpeople, 
were  ended  by  arbitration  and  concdia- 
ti^n,  compared  with  sixty  disputes.  In- 
volving 78,951  persons  In  1895,  and  fifty 
di.oputes,  involving  19.184  persons  in  1894. 

THE  BARBERS'  UNION. 
Mr.  Klapetzky,  secretary  of  the  Jour- 
neymen Barl>ers!'  Internatiomal  union, 
reports:  "This  year  we  are  paying  per 
capita  tax  to  the  American  Federation 
of  Labor  on  450  members  more  than  we 
did  last  year  at  this  time,  and  then  It 
UBP  on  'dead  tihnber.'  Now  our  member- 
ship is  of  the  liveliest  timber  in  the 
country.  Last  year  we  were  $5000  in 
debt.  Today  we  have  a  bank  account. 
Our  future  is  very  much  brighter." 


A  PROFESSOR'S  VIEWS.

Pro- 


UNWISE  LEXJISLATION. 
The  Brooklyn  Eagle  says:  "The  mem- 
bers of  the  state  board  of  mediation  and 
arbitration  have  evidently  been  think- 
ing. Their  annual  report,  a  synopsis  of 
which  has  been  published,  contains  con- 
siderable corr»mon  sense.  For  instance, 
it  says  that,  while  it  is  recognized  that 
the  wage-earners  are  entitled  to  any 
laws  which  will  fully  protect  their  inter- 
ests, it  is  led  to  believe  that  in  some 
cases  'an  excess  of  zeal  has  resulted  in 
the  enactment  of  lows,  ostensibly  favor- 
ing the  workingman.  which  have  had 
the  effect  to  hurt  rather  than  to  help  him 
In  that  they  have  caused  the  transfer  of 
capital  and  industry  to  other  states.' 
This  has  been  apparent  to  observing 
people  for  a  long  time.  When  the  work- 
ingn>en  demand  specific  legislation  as  a 
remedy  for  a  specific  evil  the  men  in 
office  attempt  to  grant  the  demands 
made  on  them.  Sometimes  they  know 
that  the  remedy  proposed  will  be  useless, 
and  that  It  will  produce  evils  worse  than 
those  that  it  is  intended  to  cure,  but 
rather  thanrun  the  risk  of  saying  so  they 
will  let  the  workingmen  suffer  the  con- 
sequences of  their  mistakes."

Mayor  Ram.sdell  of  Lynn,  speaking 
l>t>fi«v  the  Wotking  Men's  Political

nannot  strike.  Every  car  there  has  "U. 
S.  M.'  on  it.  and  the  minute  that  the 
men  quit  work  it  is  a  conspiracy,  and 
the  company  has  an  injunction  out 
against  them.  They  have  to  go  to 
work  then  or  go  to  jiil."

AN  ARTIFICIAL  JAW. 

A  remarkable  surgical  operation  has 
lust  been  performed  in  Nelson,  B.  C,  by 
Drs  Le  Bau  and  Forip,  which  promises  t-. 
eive  an  interesting -subject  for  discussion 
to  medical  circles,  says  the  Chicago  Chron- 
ic k.  The  oiK'ration  amounted  to  the  bolt- 
ing of  a  new  jaw  made  of  an  alloy  of  gold 
and  silver  upon  a  man  in  place  of  a  jaw 
which  had  been  shot  off 

Thomas  Cavzer.  of  Alnsworth.  had  the 
largest  portion  of  his  jaw  shot  off  two 
years  ago  by  the  accidental  discharge  ot 
a  gun  Dr.  Le  Bau  at  the  time  trimmtd 
the  wound  and  fastened  it  together  with 
hare-lip  needles.  The  l.isi  piece  of  dead 
bone  came  away  several  months  ago  and 
left  him  in  fairly  good  shape  except  that 
there  was  no  form  to  the  lower  t)art  of 
his  face  and  he  was  unable  to  wear  false 
teeth  to  chew  food.  The  fact  that  his 
stomach  began  to  give  out  owing  to  its 
impoverished  condition  necessitated  im- 
mediate relief. 

Cavzer  was  told  that  it  was  to  be  .an 
experlmtnt.  but  cheerfully  agreed  to  ac- 
cept all  risks.  He  was  put  under  the  in- 
fluence of  an  anaesthetic  and  was  kept 
under  its  intluence  for  nearly  four  hours, 
the  time  required  for  the  operation.  The 
lower  part  of  his  face  was  opened  up  and 
the  artificial  jaw.  which  is  made  with 
sockets  for  false  teeth,  was  then  bolted 
at  each  end  to  the  angle  of  the  jawbone. 
In  all  there  were  five  bolts  put  in.  fastened 
with  nuts  at  the  back.  When  the  work 
was  complete  the  artificial  jaw  was  firm 
in  its  position,  but  the  operating  physi- 
cians think  it  will  be  still  further  strength- 
ened by  the  growth  of  the  muscles  around 
It.  The  patient  came  through  the  opera- 
tion well,  and  it  Is  believed  that  it  will  be 
wholly  successful.

The  Mi'Glffert  heresy  is  attracting 
wide  attention  among  Presbyterians 
everywhere.  The  lines  are  unlike  those 
drawn  in  the  previous  controversy,  in 
that  ahnost  ail  parties  In  the  denomina- 
tion disagree  with  the  <'onclusions  ar- 
rived at  in  the  book.  It  is  understood 
that  Professor  MetJlffert  has  been  ex- 
pecting a  heresy  trial  before  now,  his 
book  having  appeared  last  summer.  He 
leaves  no  doubt  al>out  where  he  stands 
and  the  cause  of  the  wonder  on  th>- 
part  of  most  Presbyterians  is  that  he 
has  not  resigned  from  his  presbytery 
The  particular  part  of  the-  book  to  which 
objection  is  made  is  that  in  which  the 
.sacrificial  significance  of  the  Lord's  sup- 
per is  denied,  and  the  statement  made 
that  the  broken  bread  on  the  night  ol 
the  betrayal  was  little  more  than  a 
social  act.  Professor  McGiffert  is  a 
man  not  much  past  40,  a  hard  student 
and  personally  very  popular  with  Union 
students.  New  York  presbytery  is  pe- 
culiar in  that,  on  th*-  Briggs'  case,  it 
reversed  its  decision  no  fewer  than  three 
times.  Leading  men  in  the  church  have 
been  predicting  that  if  a  small  llri 
were  kindled  a  great  blaze  would  result 
Hence  the  jjublic  may  be   prepared  for 

almost  anything  at  any  time.

The  new  president  of  th(>  American 
board,  the  oldest  of  mission  organiza- 
tions in  this  country,  has  now  got  sufii 
cient  insight  into  its  affairs  to  declar-' 
among  other  important  observations 
that  the  corporate  memliers  of  the  board 
ought  to  bear  tlie  same  relation  to  the 
board  that  directors  do  to  a  bank,  and 
that  ofiicers  of  the  board  should  give 
every  jiossibb-  facility  to  members  in 
affording  them  inside  and  accurate  in- 
formation.  It  will  be  remembered  thai 
the  lioard  once  suffered  most  severely 
from  lack  of  this  very  privilege  to 
members.  He  also  expresses  the  beliel 
that  churches  and  individuals  in 
chuix'hes  ought  to  l)e  solicited  to  take 
upon  them  the  support  of  individual 
missionaries.  This  is  the  plan  now 
sought  to  be  put  into  practice  by  ♦he 
Presljyterian  foreign  board.  President 
Lamson  further  says  that  Congrega- 
tional ministers  ought  to  pivach  th( 
^iimple  gospel  more,  and  the  peculiari- 
ties of  Congregationalism  less,  and  thai 
if  they  were  to  do  so  more  money  would 
come  to  the,  American  and  other  mis 
sion  l)oards,

Although  the  revis'-d  version  of  the 
Bible  is  a  drug  on  the  market  and  deal- 
ers have  bins*  full  of  them,  the  revision 
of  the  Bible  is  now  under  way  and  is  to 
be  published  two  years'  hence.  That  is 
it  will  if  all  goes  well.  Just  now 
though,  there  is  a  difference  between 
editors  and  publishers.  The  former  do 
not  wish  to  put  in  the  references  and 
the  publishers  say  they  •will  not  issue 
it  unless  the  references  are  in  it.  One 
of  the  main  causes  why,  as  is  alleged 
the  present  rt'vised  version  does  not  sell 
is  because  these  references  were  omit- 
ted. Another  reason  is  because  certain 
churches  have  not  officially  favored  it 
And  a  third  is  because  the  book  had  a 
boom  at  the  outset,  and  booms  always 
have  their  reactions.  And  yet  it  is  said 
the  revised  is  faring  as  well,  date  foi 
datf,  as  did  the  authorized  version 
F'eople  change  their  Bibles  slowly.  Thi 
new  version  is  to  be  called  the  Ameri- 
can in  revision,  and  in  publioation.  No 
copy  has  yet  been  completed  by  th< 
editors,  but  work  has  bt-en  begun  by 
them.

Most  people  are  accustomed  to  look 
upon  the  Roman  Catholic  church  as  a 
perfect  machine,  set  in  successful  oper- 
ation and  going  smoothly  tm  forever 
As  a  matter  of  fact  it  is  ever  changing 
because  it  is  confronted  with  some  of 
the  most  difficult  problems.  During  the 
past  quarter  of  a  century  the  outpouring 
of  European  peoples  upon  this  country 
has  added  enormously  to  the  burdens 
of  the  American  prelates.  These  Ori- 
ental Catholics  generally  bring  their 
own  rites  with  them,  and  they  will  wor- 
ship ac'cording  to  these  rites  or  they  will 
not  worship  at  all.  The  consequence  i.'- 
that  some  American  bishop.^  have  found 
within  the  diocese  half  a  dozen  kin<h 
of  Catholics,  going  Avhere  and  as  they 
pleased  and  paying  no  more  attention 
to  the  constituted  church  authorities 
than  they  might  to  a  Methodist  or  a 
TTnitarian.  There  are  at  pres^^nt  a 
score  of  these  different  rites,  all  recog- 
nized at  Rome,  that  creates  the  fric- 
tion that  occasionally  gets  noticed  in 
the  newspapers. 

The  present  policy  of  the  Roman 
church  is  to  confine  these  rites  to  the 
tribes  or  races  which  use  them,  in  thf 
belief  that  they  will  eventually  die 
out.  And  this  policy  seems  to  be  the 
only  one,  though  it  resulted  not  long 
since  in  a  Polish  priest  bargaining  with 
a  schismatic  deacon  of  the  Greek  church 
to  take  over  a  whole  congregation.  Am- 
erican prelates  are  constantly  appeal- 
ing in  vain  for  priests  from  Italy  and 
other  European  countries  to  come  her' 
and  look  after  this  enormous  immigra- 
tion. But  priests  won't  come,  and  these 
people  will  not  be  served  by  Irish-.\m- 
erican  or  German-American  priests.  The 
trouble  is  great  and  annually  growing 
so  much  greater  that  most  Roman 
Catholic  prelates  would  be  glad  to  have 
for  a  time  at  least,  restricted  immigra- 
tion. 

*  •    • 

The  present  u-year  limit  of  Metho<i- 
ist  pastors  was  a  compromise  between 
those  who  favored  the  old  rule  and 
those  who  wanted  the  limit  lemoved 
altogether.  The  agitation  concirn- 
ing  the  limit  ceased  with  this  i)artial 
victory,  the  more  so  because  the  mat- 
ter of  equal  lay  representation  in  the 
general  conference  came  up  to  engage 
attention.  That  cause  has  not  yt 
been  won,  but  many  leading  Mehod- 
ists.  both  ministers  and  laymen,  are 
now  expressing  the  opinion  that  the 
two  causes,  especially  where  they  ore 
so  vital  to  the  progress  of  Mehodism 
as  are  these,  can  be  successfully  agi- 
tated at  once,  and  that  the  time  is 
now  ripe  to  begin  again  the  effort  to 
abolish   the   pastoral   limit   entirely. 

Cases  where  It  Is  absolutely  neces- 
ft.Try.  or  else  sacrifice  much,  are  now 
ffjislng.  Where  they  are  in  large 
cfties.  often  the  charge  is  taken  out 
of  the  conference  and  put  under  the 
city  mission.  When  that  is  done  the 
minister  can  be  returned  for  as  long 
a  timt*  as  may  be  desired.  Several 
such  transfers  must  be  made  in  the  ap- 
proaching    spring     conferences.       The 


Austrian  banker  sent  his  money  to  N''W 
York  was  be(  ausc  ihere  had  i)r<'ced<'d 
it  to  that  city,  during  the  i)ast  ff<\ 
years,  or  since  the  last  Russian  crus- 
ade against  the  Jews  has  been  in  ef- 
fect, more  Jews  than  were  in  Nt  \v 
Vork  and  l^hlladelphla  together  with 
Clii<ago  thrown  in.  previous  to  that 
time,  until,  at  thi-  present  tinn-.  New 
York  is  not  only  the  greatest  <-tnter  of 
.lew  isb  population  in  the  world,  but  It 
so  far  suri)asses  all  others,  London  n  >: 
excepted, that  there  is  really  no  otbei 
Jewish  city  in  the  world  to  compare 
with  It.  For  the  most  part  the.-Je  Jew^ 
are  not  rich,  as  many  think,  but  al»- 
jectly  jioor.  How  to  imiirove  their 
condition  is  the  jiroblem.  To  give 
away,  outright,  the  de  Hirsch  millions 
would  be  foolish.  To  get  these  Jews 
to  move  to  the  countr\'  or  even  to  the 
West  one  cannot  do.  To  build  bett'-r 
tenements  for  them  in  the  city  hns 
been  suggested,  but  it  is  found  th"y 
will  not  live  in  them  except  under  con- 
ditions that  would  soon  render  th<  n 
unfit  for  sanitary  occupation.  Schools 
are  to  be  tried  with  the  belief  that  'h- 
educated  Jew  will  look  after  his  own 
condition,  but  that  is  a  slow  process. 
Meanwhile  the  trustees  are  hoblintr  on 
to  the  millions  waiting  and  studying 
the  problem. 


JEWISH  RABBIS. 


There  Are  333  Jewish  Congregations 
In  United  States. 

According  to  the  last  census  returns 
Ihc-re  are  533  Jewish  congregations  in 
the  United  States.  Of  these,  301  wo'-- 
ship  in  church  edifices  specially  built 
and  arranged  for  the  purpose,  and  232 
in  halls  and  rooms,  says  C.  S.  Bern- 
heimer  in  Godey's  Magazine.  It  may 
be  safely  assumed  that  the  greater 
number  of  tho.se  occupying  church  edi- 
fices employ  a  salaried  minister;  and 
it  may  with  equal  salety  be  assumed 
that  nearly  all.  if  not  all.  of  those  not 
•occupying  edifices  of  their  own.  liui 
utilizing  a  rented  hall  or  room,  hav- 
not  the  services  of  a  salaried  officiating 
clergymen.  We  c-ome  to  the  conclusion, 
then,  that  about  300  persons  occupy 
pulpits  in  the  synagogues  of  the 
United  States.  In  many  congregations 
they  ordinarily  conduct  the  service  and 
preach  the  sermon;  in  others  the.v  have 
the  assistance  of  a  cantor,  or  reader, 
to  conduct  the  service;  in  a  few  there 
are  two  ministers,  in  addition  to  th..' 
cantor,   or  reader. 

In  all  the  synagogues  of  the  United 
States,  .save  one,  the  service  is  con- 
ducted on  the  seventh-day  Sabbath.  In 
this  one  the  service  -is  held  on  Sunday 
morning. 

Of  the  total  number  of  ministers 
about  fifty  are  graduates  of  the  Hebrew 
Union  college  located  at  Cincinnati 
which  is  controlled  by  the  reform  ele- 
ment, whih^  there  are  three  gradu.ates 
of  the  Jewish  The<j|ogical  seminary  of 
New  York,  which  is  under  orthod  )X 
auspices.  These  institutions  are  the 
only  American  rabbinical  schools.  Be- 
fore 1883.  when  the  Hebrew  ITnion  col- 
lege sent  out  its  first  graduates,  con- 
gregations were  dependent  chlefiy  upon 
ministers  educated  abroad,  and,  in  m<>si 
instances,  born  abrcjad. 

The  graduates  of  the  Hebrew  Union 
college  have,  in  nearly  all  cases,  sup- 
planted German-speaking  preachers. 

It  was  not  merely  a  question  of  lan- 
guage that  led  the  congregations  to 
throw  aside  their 
spiritual  heads.  The 
"m«-n  of  the  people." 
ars.  The  old-school 
too  much  students  and  not  sufficiently 
alive  to  what  the  people  considered  n-- 
ce.ssary  adjuncts  to  the  modern  chure'i. 
The  Jewish  people  saw  around  them  the 
congregational  activity  of  their  Chris- 
tian neighbors,  and  felt  that  they  should 
have  th  •  assistance 
in   doing  likewise.

A  VAGRANT  MAGICIAN. 


How 


He    Amused    and    Mystified    a 
Crowd  of  Spectators. 

A  squat  little  fellow  with  sallow  com- 
plexion, curly  black  hair.  Roman  feat- 
ures and  Italian  accent  strolled  into  the 
buffet  of  the  Iroquois  at  8:30  o'clock  last 
night,  says  the  liuffalo  Express.  He 
was  about  24  years  old,  smooth  shaven, 
wore  a  dark  sack  suit,  tan  overcoat  and 
black  derby  hat.  He  "walkinl  up  to  the 
Hon.  Cornelius  Coughlin.  leader  of  the 
Democracy  of  the  South  Side,  and 
smned. 

'Pre.sto! "  he  exclaimed  in  a  soft  gut- 
tural, and  he  plucked  a  lenun  out  of 
Mr.  Coughlin's  right  ear. 

'Presto!"  he  repeated,  and  picked  a 
knife  out  of  W.  J.  Conner's  right  eye. 

"Presto!"  he  said  again,  and  took  a 
dollar  out  of  Frank  L.  Bapst's  nose. 

He  threw  the  dollar  up  in  the  air  and 
it  vanished.  He  stuck  the  knife  in  the 
lemon  and  tossed  them  ceiling%vard  and 
they  never  came  back— at  least  no  one 
saw  them.  He  held  out  his  hand,  palm 
upward,  closed  it.  opened  it.  and  lo!  It 
held  a  deck  of  card.s.  He  shuffied  the 
cards  quickly  with  a  fan  shuffie. 

"Look  at  a  card  as  1  shuffle."  he  said 
to  William  H.  Kinch.  "Don't  tell  me 
what  it  is.  You've  thought?  There's 
y(jur  card."  and  he  threw  a  card  face 
downward  on  the  marble  top  of  the 
table. 

Kinch  looked  at   the  card. 

"Wrong."  he  said,  and  threw  the  card 
down  again  on  its  face.  "That's  the 
nine  of  diamonds.  I  looked  and  thought 
of  the  five  of  clubs." 

"Pick  up  the  card,"  said  the  wizard. 

Kinch  picked  it  up.  It  was  the  five  of 
clubs. 

"Presto!"  said  the  magician. 

He  handed  the  deck  of  cards  to  James 
Kennedy,  who  was  sitting  beside  W.  J. 
Conners. 

"Look  at  a  card,"  he  said. 

Kennedy  peeped  at  a  card. 

"Pass  the  deck  on,"  said  the  wizard. 

Kennedy  handed  it  to  Conners,  whi 
peeped  at  a  card  and  handed  the  deck 
to  Bapst,  who  peeped  at  a  card  and 
handed  the  deck  to  Coughlin,  who 
peeped  at  a  card.  Then  they  shuffied 
the  deck  and  handed  it  back  to  the 
wizanl,  who  shuffled  the  deck  and  took 
off  the  top  card.  He  handed  it  to  Ken- 
nedy.    Kennedy  looked  at  it. 

■•Wrong,"  said  Conners,  and  handed 
it  to  Bapst. 

"Wrong,"  said  Bapst,  and  handed  it  to 
Coughlin. 

"Wrong."  said  Coughlin. 

The  card  was  the  ace  of  spades. 

"Look  at  the  card  again,"     said 
wizard. 

Coughlin  looked.  All  sa,w  it. 
card  was  the  three  of  clubs,  the 
Coughlin  had  selected  In  his  peep

to  Bapst.  who  lo;>ked  at  it.  and  lo!  It 
was  the  jack  of  clubs.  Bapst's  card.  The 
wizard  handed  it  to  Kennedy  and  It  was 
the  ace  of  spades  again.

wa.s  the  three  of  diamonds." 

"That's  the  three  of  diamonds,' 
th<'  wizard. 

All  looked.     It  was  the  three  of 
nionds. 

By  this  time  the  caff  Wiis  crowded 
with  people.  Eiveryone  was  jjstlinR 
and  eagrer  to  see  what  would  hap|>en 
next.  The  wizard  plucked  cards  from 
everywhere  and  sent  them  spfnnlnx  into 
nowhere.  He  apk.nl  Comnu.s.'sioner  Mar- 
tin Maher  to  blindfold  him.  They  not 
only  tied  a  handkerchief  over  his  eyes, 
but  a  waiter  tied  a  towel  <»vcr  the  hand- 
kerchief. Then,  blindfolded,  the  wizard 
had  the  ftuir  men  select  four  eards  with- 
i.ut  his  touching  the  deck.  They  put 
the  cards  baek  in  the  deck,  .^shuffled  it. 
(  ul  it  into  three  piles  and  lai<l  the  piles 
on  the  marble  table.  The  wizard  bur- 
rowed a  knife  from  Kinchs  left  ear  and 
opened  it. 

"Presto!"  he  said,  and  .scattered  the 
cards  all  over  the  table  Avith  the  point 
of  the  Idade. 

Then  one  by  one  he  picked  out  the 
four  cards  the  four  men  had  looked  at 
and  impali-d  them  on  the  tip  of  th>* 
knife.  He  was  blindfolded  all  the  while, 
and  had  not  touehed  the  deck  with  his 
fing^ers.  The  spectators  bepan  to  feel 
creepy.  The  wizard  remov»'d  the  band- 
apes  from  his  eyes  and  took  up  a  collec- 
tion. His  hat  held  a  number  of  silver 
pieces.  He  jinpled  them  and  turne<l  the 
hat  upside  down.  There  was  nothing  in 
it.  He  bought  a  drink.  The  glas.-i 
seemed  to  vani.«h  down  his  throat.  He 
tin-ned  and  took  it  out  of  a  drummer's 
hat.  He  laid  .SO  cents  on  the  t-ashier's 
desk,  pointeil  al  it  and  it  vanished.  He 
snapped  his  flnpers  and  a  lemon  lay  on 
the  desk.  He  threw  the  lemon  up  in  th»» 
air  and  walked  out.  The  lemon  van- 
ished and  the  wizard  found  it  in  a  man's 
hat  in  the  lobby  of  the  hotel. 

He  halted  and  tore  a  button  off  Mr. 
Couprhlin's  roat.  All  saw  the  button  w.is 
off.  He  put  it  back  and  told  Mr.  Cough- 
lin to  blow  on  it.  Mr.  Coughlin  blew 
and  the  button  was  back  in  place  and 
bore  no  sign  of  having  been  remove*!. 
He  threw  a  card  up  ten  feet  in  the  air. 
It  sailed  back  and  rested  on  his  open 
palm.  He  did  it  again.  He  tossed  the 
.  .ird  a  third  time  and  it  vanished.  Then 
the  wizard  vanished,  leaving  a  l3t  of 
dazed  and  creepy  men  behind  him. 


FAR   VnOM  HOME.

"mtivvi-r"  when  h.-  was  tired  and  sleepy

I  .It  and  the  dog  next  door  was  to  go  out 
on  tin-  streol  and  get  lost,  says  the  At- 
lanta Journal.  Of  course  be  iliil  not  start 
out  with  the  bit  ntlon  of  gfttnig  lost,  and 
sii,  after  he  had  siroll-vl  along  for  about 
lliiee  blocks,  ho  dOeUled  that  it  would  b,' 
wise  and  tudicious  to  return  home.  He 
started  iiaek  golly  ami  bllthily  enough. 
but  somehow  be  did  not  eume  out  just  as 
he  expected.  The  landmarks  at)i>»>ar>id  to

tiiieertalnty  gave  way  to  despair,  and  a

Just  then  a  good  Saniitritan  came  along 
'Whal  s  the  mattir,  little  boyV  '  he  asked 
kindly. 

"I— 1— I'se  lost,"  wailed  the  unhappy 
youngster.

Samaritan  in  open-mouthed  astonishment,

A  GREAT  AIDIENCE. 


Labor  Bazar   In   the  Armory 

Drew  Another  Larqe  One 

Last  Evening. 

There  was  a  large  .L.wd  ai  the  lab.n 
bazar  again  last  evening.  Di  .Mateo's 
string  band  furni.shed  the  music.  Rev. 
C.  H.  Patton  dc^livered  an  adirress  on 
"A  New  Era  for  Duluth."  He  was  in- 
troduced  by    H.    IJ.   c'obb. 

What  th-  exposition  was  and  what  it 
stood  for  marked  a  new  era  for  the 
city,  the  sjieaker  said.  Three  things 
hail  lately  arisen  t.>  quicken  our  civii 
pride  and  open  the  dovir  of  wide  oppor- 
tunity, viz,  the  purchase  of  the  gas 
and  water  plants,  thr'  pieparation  ot  a 
new  city  charter",  and  a  new  spirit  ot 
co-operation  of  all  classes  of  litizens 
to  l>ui!d  up  the  city  on  an  honest  an.l 
enduring  foundation.  The  purchase  of 
thi:>  gas  and  water  plants  was  the  tirst 
step  toward  the  acquisition  of  all  the 
natural  monopolies  of  the  city;  tht-  new 
charter  noted  a  disposition  to  advance 
in  the  science  of  inunicipal  government 
and  the  co-operation  to  foster  the  solid 
resources  of  the  city  was  progression 
away  from  speculation  and  subsidiz-d 
enterprises  and  the  mushroom  growths 
that-/ollow  them.  Organized  labor  was 
to  be  congratulated  on  recognizing  that 
manufacturing  must  grow  from  small 
beginnings.  Growth  was  after  all,  the 
only  sure  way  of  progress.  Lal>or  and 
capita!  had  joined  hands  in  the  bazar 
and  it  was  to  labor  that  this  close  fel- 
lowship Avas  due.  Such  a  projei-t  m-- 
the  bazar  was  a  contribution  to  the 
good  of  all.  The  good  feeling  should 
continue.  The  speaker  closed  with  a 
tribute  to  Flev.  Dr.  Salter,  whose  por- 
trait occupies  a  prominent  place  in  th^ 
l)azar.  and  in  view  of  the  near  apiiroach 
t>f  Washington's  birthday,  the  follow- 
ing quotation  from  his  farewell  mes- 
sage : 

•"Cultivate  industrj'  and  frugality  as 
auxiliaries  to  good  morals  and  private 
and    public    prosperity.  "

The  local  agents  of  all  Pacific  coast 
rims  regret  the  big  out  that  ha.*?  bet  n 
made  in  rates.  The  opinion  of  all  of 
thetn  i.s  that  travel  will  be  increased 
but  comparatively  little  because  yf  it. 
and  that  the  railroad  companies  by 
their  untimely  quarrel  will  be  the  loser 
in  revenue  from  $20  to  $25  on  every  pas- 
senger for  coast  points. 

The  gri^at  rush  of  gold  hunters  and 
speculators  to  Alaska  has  biought  with 
it  a  brisk  rivalry  among  all  Pacific 
coast  and  connecting  lines  and  in  their 
eagerness  for  business,  agents  have  un- 
doul)ttdIy  been  guilty  of  shading  rates. 
It  is  undoubtedly  true  that  Eastern 
connecting  lines  were  the  first  to  sell 
tickets  on  a  basis  lower  than  established 
ratcs  from  St.  Paul,  Minneapolis  and 
Duluth.  The  fact  that  cuts  were  being 
recently  made  has  been  known  for  souiu 
time  by  the  passenger  agents  and  the 
Canadian  Pacific  was  at  first  made  the 
scapegoat.  The  Northern  Pacific  and 
Great  Northern  recently  requested  a 
conference  with  the  general  passenger 
agent  of  the  Canadian  Pacific  for  the 
purpose  of  preventing  a  cutting  of 
rates,  but  he  refused  to  meet  them  un- 
til they  stopped  cutting  rates.  Rate- 
cutting  continued  and  tbe  Canadian  Pa- 
cific gave  notice  that  it  would  make  an 
open  reduction  of  50  per  cent  and  ac- 
cot"dingly  that  rate  was  put  into  effect 
today  on  all  coast  lines,  making  the 
fare  from  Duluth  to  Seattle  $25  first 
class  and  $20  second  clas.s.  The  rate  to 
Portland  is  $5  more.  The  same  rates 
are  to  apply  on  east-bound  business 
from    the  coast. 

A  St.  Paul  c'.ispatch  to  The  Herald  this 
atternoon  says:  Not  content  with  the 
cut  rates  going  into  effect  today  the  Soo- 
Pacific  has  announced  that  on  Feb.  23 
llif  rates  will  be  cut  further,  making  the 
second  class  rate  nearly  half  a  cent  a 
inile.  This  scale  of  prices  will  apply 
over  the  Soo-Pacific.  from  Buffalo,  N. 
Y.,  -and  even  east  of  there  to  Puget 
sound.  The  first  class  rate  is  today  $40. 
and  second  class  $30  from  Buffalo  to 
Vancouver  by  the  Soo-Pacific.  From  St. 
Paul  to  Vancouver  the  rates  will  be  $15 
and  $10  on  Feb.  23.  with  a  correspoDding 
cut  from  the  eastern  terminus  of"  the 
Soo. 

Today  the  Canadian  Pacific  announces 
a  big  cut  from  Duluth  and  St.  Paul  and 
Minneapolis  to  all  Eastern  points  ef- 
fective Monday,  when  the  fare  from  Du- 
luth to  Buffalo,  Albany,  New  York 
Kingston  and  Montreal  will  be  $18  first 
class  and  $17  second  class.  The  rate  to 
■Boston  and  New  England  points  will  be 
$20  first  class  and  $19  secOnd-class  with 
a  corresponding  reduction  to  all  intiep- 
mediate  Eastern  points. 

In  I>uluth  the  rivalry  for  business 
has  been  strong  and  before  the  sweeping 
reductions  in  rates  were  announced  in- 
tending passengers  to  the  coast  have 
been  offered  special  inducements  and 
rates  by  competing  linrs.  It  is  the  opin- 
ion in  passenger  circles  that  the  reduc- 
tion of  rates  will  effectually  stop  further 
:i  cret  cutting  and  it  is  expected  that 
an  understanding  will  soon  be  had  by 
which  the  old  lates  will  be  restored 
Those  who  expect  to  go  to  Alaska  will 
not.  in  all  probaWlity,  be  permitted  to 
profit  by  the  rate  war  for  many  d^^'s.

The  war  between  the  dealers  in  county 
orders  is  still  on,  and  it  continues  to  re- 
sult in  the  better  standing  of  the  orders 
an<l  the  benefit  of  the  h(ddei-s.  The  first 
move,  which  was  noted  by  The  Herald. 
was  to  raise  the  price  to  98  and  99  per 
cent,  when  It  had  previou.sly  ranged 
from  SO  to  9.')  per  cent,  accoi-ding  to  the 
( onditions  of  the  sale  of  the  orders  and 
the  needs  of  the  seller.  Next,  after  the 
other  dealers  had  met  the  raise  made  by 
the  one  who  initiated  the  fight,  the 
latter  began  to  shade  the  discount  so 
that  he  s jmetimes  made  as  low  as  Va 
Iter  cent  discount,  according  to  the 
amount  of  the  orders  purcha.sed. 

Now  another  dealer  has  taken  the 
aggressive,  and  he  says  that  he  will 
purchase  all  the  county  orders  he  can 
get  at  par.  He  proposes  to  get  all  of 
the  orders  there  are  going,  he  says,  and 
he  does  not  care  very  much  what  he 
pays  far  them.  It  has  become  a  matter 
ol  principle  rather  than  profit  with  him 
now.  and  he  protests  that  he  is  not  going 
to  stand  idly  by  while  anyone  gets  the 
better  of  him  on  county  orders.  Hence 
his  offer  to  pay  par  for  all  the  orders 
he  can  get. 

This  is  something  that  has  not  hap- 
pened before  in  a  good  while,  if  it  ever 
occurred  before.  While  there  has  been 
no  lack  of  confidence  in  county  orders, 
and  they  are  regarded  as  being  as  good 
if  not  better  than  bank  certificates  of 
deposit,  the  men  *\vho  held  them  have 
often  needed  the  money  badly  enough  to 
warrant  them  in  parting  from  them  at 
a  fair  discount.  This  was  especially  the 
ca?e  where  a  fund  was  overdrawn  and 
it  might  be  some  time  before  there  was 
money  enough  in  it  to  take  up  outstand- 
ing orders.  As  all  such  orders  draw  S 
per  cent  interest,  they  are  very  good 
things  to  have,  and  there  has  usuallv 
been  quite  a  demand  for  them.  I'p 
to  the  present  time,  however,  there  has 
iiever  been  any  cutting  in  the  discounts, 
and  while  they  have  varied  at  different 
times,  this  is  the  first  time,  so  long  as 
the  present  county  ofl^cials  can  remem- 
ber, when  they  have  been  quoted  at  par 
legularly. 

With  interest  at  8  per  cent  they  are 
good  things  to  have  even  at  par,  and 
in  the  absence  of  better  investments  a 
small  premium  would  not  entirely  re- 
move their  value.  So  it  is  not  likely 
that  the  war  is  yet  over,  and  it  is  not 
al  all  improbable  that  before  the  trouble 
i.s  ended  a  premium  will  be  offered. 


OLD  CASE  RESURRECTED. 


Up 


Noted    Damage    Suit    Brought 
Again  Today. 

TliP  case  of  Thomas  J.  Ilnwkhik. 
against  the  Ea.stern  Mlnne.sota  Rail- 
way com|>any,  which  was  a  case  t*- 
some    note    among      personal       injury 

ca.ses  when  it  was  before  the  dL"* ••i<t 
<"Ourt  two  years  ago,  was  exhumed  In 
the  dlstfict  <:ourt  this  morning  by  the 
plaintiff.  Hawkins  was  an  employe  of 
the  road  and  he  was  badly  injured  »n 
an  accident.  He  sued  for  damages 
and  afterwardH,  when  it  was  develojji?! 
that  he  was  insane,  his  wife,  as  his 
guardian  was  made  plaintiff.  In  No- 
vember, 1895,  the  case  was  tried  in 
the  district  court,  and  the  Jury  re- 
turned a  verdict  of  $10,100  for  the 
plaintiff.  This  was  an  extra<)rdii»ar- 
ily  large  personal  injury  verdict  aid  it 
attracted  some  attention  for  that  rea- 
son. The  road  made  an  application 
to  Judge  M<K'r,  howe\,  r,  to  set  it  a.side 
as  excessive,  and  he  granted  ihe  mo- 
lion,  a.s  well  a,s  a  new  trial.  In  its 
answer  to  the  eoniplaint  the  road  s-  • 
up  the  fa<  t  thai  it  had  secured  a  re- 
lease of  all  claims  fiom  Hawkins  foi 
$10(1  and  the  plaintiff  wanted  to  imei'fl 
its  rfply  so  as  to  set  up  the  claim  ..r 
insanity  in  opposition  to  this  release. 
The  ai)pli«'ation  to  amend  wa.s  nH\  .-r 
heard  and  the  case  was  lost  sight  <if  lo; 
two  years. 

This  morning  the  |)laintiff  asked  to 
amend  its  reply  so  as  to  include  the 
<laim  of  in.sanity,  but  Cy  W<'llington, 
the  road's  attorney,  )>ut  in  an  affidavit 
in  which  he  says  that  he  has  never  re- 
ceived a  copy  of  the  proposed  amended 
pleading  and  Judge  Mner  df-nied  ihe  ap- 
plication.

rORECLOSlRE  JUDGMENTS. 


Three  Entered  By  Judge    Ensign  This 
Morning. 

Judge  Ensign  this  morning  ordered 
judgments  for  foreclosure  of  mort- 
gages in  three  cases  brought  by  the 
Homestead  Building  and  Loan  asso- 
ciaticn  to  foreclose  on  propertv  on 
Duluth  Heights.  The  def-^ndants 
were  Robert  Rankin.  A.  L.  Newt  >n 
and  Oliver  Quick.  In  the  case  of  J. 
H.  Upham  against  L.  Mendenhall  judg- 
ment was  ordered  fur  the  plaintiff. 

In  the  matter  of  the  application  by 
the  city  of  Duluth  to  enforce  the  pay- 
ment of  delinquent  street  assessments, 
the  objections  of  C.  J.  Miles  and  A. 
Miles  were  in  th:-  special  term  calendar 
this  morning.  In  the  first  ca.se  the 
objector's  motion  to  vacate  the  judg- 
ment v.as  denied,  and  the  secon>l  oase, 
which  is  similar,  was  stricken  from  the 
calendar.  This  was  done  becau.se  the 
first  case  is  to  be  appealed  and  the  sec- 
ond is  to  be  made  dependent  upon  tiie 
decision  in  the  first  one. 

In  the  case  of  John  Lundberg  against 
A.  D.  Davidson,  as  a.ssignee  of  the 
State  bank,  the  plaintiffs  motion  for 
a  new  trial  was  denied.  The  man- 
damus case  tjf  May  E.  Douglas  against 
the  county  auditor  was  continued  one 
week,  and  in  the  meantime  the  mat- 
ters in  litigati<in  are  to  remain  in 
statu  quo  and  the  auditor  is  not  to  is- 
sue an  assignment  certificate.

DISPUTED  ACCIDENT  CLAIM. 


Was  Evidently  Obstreperous. 

Paul  Perry  became  vextd  at  some-

place  last  evening,  and  threw  the  furni-

was  taken  to  police  headquarters.  This 
'rrVirnin^  ho  was  arraigned  before  Judge 
Edson  on  the  charge  of  willfully  injuring 
peisonal  property.  Paul's  recollection  of 
the  events  of  the  evening  was  very 
hazy,  and  the  examination  was  set  for 
thi;;  afttrnoon  to  give  him  tinje  to  col-

BARRETT  RELEASED  AGAIN. 

Superior    People    Evidently    Do    Not 
Want  Him  Badly. 

Martin  Barrett,  who  was  arrested  sev- 
ere! days  ago  as  a  fugitive  from  justice 
at  the  instance  of  the  aurhorities  of  Su- 
perior, where  liarrett  Is  wanted  on  the 
charge  of  biting  a  mans  thumb  -luring 
a  brawl,  was  relea.sed  by  Judge  Edson 
this  morning  on  the  failure  of  the  Supe- 
rior authorities  to  appear  at  the  hparinp. 
A  few  minutes  after  Barrett  was  released, 
a  deputy  sheriff  from  Superior  appe.ired 
with  requisition  papers.  Detective  Troyer 
stiirtcd  out  after  Barrett  and  ran  across 
him  on  the  Bowery.  Barrett  started  to 
rui  but  the  detective  wa.s  close  upon  him 
am.  scon  overhauled  him.  Barrett  was 
much  cast  down  by  the  untoward  change 
in  his  fortunes.  This  made  the  third  time 
he  had  betn  arrested  on  the  .same  charge. 
The  first  time  the  Superior  authorities 
were  not  armed  with  a  reqiilslflon  and 
as  Barrett  refused  to  go  voluntarily  he 
was  released.

Suit  Brought  to  Compel  Payment  For 
an  Injury. 

Thomas  Daly  this  morning  filed  a 
complaint  in  district  court  against  the 
Franklin  Benefit  association  to  re- 
cover money  alleged  to  be  due  on  an 
accident  policy  held  by  him  in  the  as 
sociation.  He  states  that  he  has  paid 
his  itremiums  up  regularly  and  thai 
he  has  not  changed  his  occupation 
since  he  took  it  out.  The  policy  pro- 
vidts  that  in  case  of  accident  result- 
ing in  total  disability  he  is  to  receive 
$12.50  per  week  for  a  period  that  is 
not  to  exceed  one  year.  He  says  that 
not  long  ago  he  was  walking  along  a 
street  in  St.  Paul  when  his  foot  hap- 
pened to  strike  a  rotten  plank  in  the 
sidewalk.  The  plank  failed  to  per- 
form its  ofiice  and  when  it  broke  he  was 
precipitated  to  the  ground.  He  claim.? 
that  he  was  badly  injured  and  that  he 
was  laid  up  for  twelve  weeks  as  a  re- 
sult of  it.  He  therefore  asks  S281. !'.'>. 
which  he  says  that  association  refuses 
to  pay.  Humphrey  &  Barton,  of  St. 
Paul,  are  his  attorneys. 

The  association's  answer  has  not 
been  filed,  but  from  Daly's  reply,  which 
accompanies  the  complaint,  it  is  evi- 
dent that  the  association  has  mani- 
lested  some  suspicion  of  his  claim.  In 
the  reply  he  strenuously  denies  that  he 
was  intoxicated  when  the  accident  oc- 
curs, and  he  also  denies  that  there 
were  no  visible  marks  of  the  injury 
upon  him,  as  alleged  by  the  associ- 
ation in  its  answer.

King   &    Steele    Commence     Action 
Against  Carroll-Porter  Company. 

King  &  Steele,  the  contractors,  this 
morning  began  a  suit  in  district  court 
against  the  Carroll-Porter  Boiler  and 
Tank  company  to  recover  $7565.24  alleged 
to  be  due  fur  work  and  material?  fur- 
nished in  laying  the  force  main  in  the 
(Supplementary  water  plant.  The  com- 
plaint states  that  the  coinpany  made  a 
contract  with  the  plaintiffs,  by  which 
the  latter  weie  to  haul,  lay,  rivet,  test 
and  paint  the  42-inch  force  main,  from 
the  cast  side  of  Lester  river  to  tlie  ne.v 
ie::ervcir  in  Duluth.  at  the  rate  of  95 
cents- per  lineal  foot.  It  is  claimed  that 
the  plaintiflfs  planted  17,175.29  feet  of  the

contract,  amounting  to  $1728.92,  and  that 
the  defendant  company  has  paid  but 
$10,480.21.  leaving  $7565.24  still  due. 

The  plaintiffs  also  filed  an  affidavit 
stating  that  as  the  defendant  is  a  for- 
eign corporation,  it  will  be  necessary  to 
attach  its  proi^erty  heie  to  protect  their 
interests.  Affidavits  of  garnishment 
were  also  filed  against  the  city  and  the

The  special  term  of  district  court  this 
morning  was  somewhat  longer  than 
usual,  but  matters  of  importance  were 
wanting.  The  most  important  matter, 
and  one  that  will  be  of  interest  to 
many,  was  the  order  of  Judge  Ensign 
directing  the  assignee  for  James  E. 
Power  to  declare  a  dividend  of  50  per 
cent  to  the  creditors  of  the  insolvent 
,merchant  who  have  filed  releases.  The 
receiver  has  sufficient  funds  in  his 
hands  for  this  purpose,  and  the  dividend 
will  be  ready  for  the  creditors  in  a  short 
time.  This  is  the  largest  single  dividend 
declared  by  any  insolvent  concern  in 
this  county  for  some  time,  and  larger 
than  most  of  the  total  settlements  of 
insolvents.

MOST  YOUTHFUL  LABOR  UNION  IN  U  S. 


Organized  By  Bright  Boys  and  Girls  Concerned  in  the  Great  Cotton 

Mill  Strike  in  New  England — One  of  Their  Leaders 

Expounds  His  Up-to-Date  Views* 


CtHiyright.  1S9S,  by  Bacheller  Syndlt-ate. 

There  is  one  phase  of  the  Krv>at  strike 
now  RolnR  on  in  New  EnRland  that  has 
so  far  est'aped  attention.  It  is  that  the 
l»oys  and  grirls  share  in  the  contest. 
Of  the  40.000  cotton  mill  workers  in  the 
citle8  of  New  Bedford  and  Fall  River, 
where  the  strike  is  on  in  greatest  foro? 
at  present,  there  are  at  least  10,000  un- 
der 10.  and  half  that  number  are 
mere  children,  not  16  years  of  age. 
Thest  young  w.>rkmen  are  as  enthusi- 
astic in  the  tight  against  a  reduction 
of  pay  as  are  any  of  the  older  hands. 
Thty  wert'  even  more  ready  to  go  out 
on  suike;  for  being  young  and  not  hav- 
ing outgrown  a  fondness  for  holidays, 
they  did  not  object  to  the  prosptct  of 
a  rest  from  their  unceasing  round  of 
toil. 

The  backboys  have  probably  the 
Kimngest  labfcr  union  in  the  country, 
for  th'»  average  age  of  its  members 
cannot  be  more  than  16  or  17.  Hut  trades 
unionism  is  born  and  bred  in  thesr 
youngsters:  indeed,  it  was  brought  over 
from  Lancashire  by  their  parents,  many 
of  whom  came  from  the  great  cotton 
spinning  district  of  England.  Most  of 
the  boys  are  well  versed  in  the  argu- 
ments of  the  labor  leaders,  and  can  reel 
them  off  at  an  astonishing  rate.  Here  is 
what  the  seiretary  of  the  union,  a  bright- 
eyed  Englishman  of  IS.  gave  as  his  idea 
of  what  that  organization  will  do  for  the 
boys: 

"The  doffers  and  backboys  have  al- 
ways been  put  upi>n  because  the  man- 
agers and  superintendents  think  it  per- 
fectly safe  to  dock  or  discharge  one  of 
the  boys.  They  look  at  it  this  way: 
•There  are  plenty  of  others  to  take 
their  places,  as  almost  any  strong  boy 
can  do  the  work:  so  we  can  make  them 
crawl  as  much  as  we  want  to."  But 
whin  they  find  that  we  have  a  union 
and  will  stand  together,  they  will 
be  more  careful  what  they  say  or  dj 
to  us.  We  don't  suffer  much  from 
fines,  as  some  of  the  others  do;  our 
wages  are  so  low  that  if  they  took 
much  away  in  fines  there  wouldn't  be 
anything  left.  But  with  our  union  we 
shail  be  able  to  demand  as  good  treat- 
ment as  the  other  workmen  receive, 
and    we    sha'n't    be  discharged    except 


time  in  the  mill,  for  the  operative  is 
wary  of  letting  the  ambitious  young- 
ster touch  his  own  part  of  the  work, 
since  any  tlaw  in  the  cloth  costs  him 
part  of  his  wages. 

The  doffers,  backboys,  and  helpers    of 
all  kinds  who  work  in   the  cotton  mills 
have   no   easy    life.    They    are   up    at    6 
in  the  morning     and  away   to  the  mill 
at   <o:Z<i.     There     they     remain   until       0 
at  night,    not    even     going    outside  the 
i  factory   during     the  noon     hour     unless 
'  they     happen   to  live  near  by.     This    is 
their  regular  round  every  day  but  Sat- 
urday, when  the  mill  closes  at    4.    and 
Sunday,   when   they  do  not  work  at   all. 
For  their  fifty-eight  hours  of  work  they 
re<^vive  $2.50.     or     possibly   $3 — about     4 
j  cents  per  hour. 

I  They  all  come  from  poverty  stricken 
ih>>mes,  where  father,  mother  and  chil- 
'drcn  all  work  at  the  looms:  and  their 
home  life  in  the  bare  and  dreary  tene- 
ments is  scarcely  more  pleasant  than 
the  hours  they  spend  in  the  mill.  Some 
of  their  lives  make  very  sad  stories. 
The  superintendent  of  schools  in  Fall 
River  told  me  of  one  such  case.  In 
the  night  school,  where  the  boys  and 
girls  who  work  during  the  day  have  a 
chance  to  learn  to  read  and  write,  a 
composition  was  set,  and  the  scholars 
were  asked  to  write  on  the  subject: 
'The  Happiest  Day  of  My  Life,  and 
What  Made  It  So."  When  the  papers 
were  handed  in.  it  was  found  that  one 
boy  had  written  under  the  title:  "I  can- 
not write  on  this  sul>Ject.  as  I  never 
had  a  happy  day  in  my  life."  The 
case  was  looked  up.  and  the  boy's  state- 
Tnent  was  found  to  be  perfectly  true. 
He  was  a  cripple,  the  only  support  of 
an  invalid  father:  and  both  father  and 
son  had  to  live  on  the  pitiable  wages 
that  the  little  cripple  earned.  I  am 
glad  to  say  that,  as  soon  a  sthe  facts 
became  known,  the  boy's  cheerless  life 
was  gladdened  by  at  least  one  happy 
day  which  he  is  likely  to  remember. 

But  in  spite  of  the  hopeless  lot  of  a 
few.  most  of  the  boys  and  girls  who 
work  in  the  mills  are  ambitious  and  full 
of  fun.  like  others  of  their  age.  It  is 
amu.'^ing  to  an  older  person  to  note  the 
business-like  ways  which  the  boys 
quickly  take  on.  As  has  been  stated, 
the  backboys  of  Fall  River— which  is 
the  capital  of  the  cotton-spinning  in- 
dustry   in    this    countr>'    and    contains 


THE  BACKBOYS'  PARADE. 


for  some  good  cause.  Besides,  if  we 
'^an  get  an  organization  started  with 
money  in  the  treasury,  we  can  hold  out 
better  when  there  Is  a  strike  or  lock- 
out." 

There  are  at  present  about  200  mem- 
bers in  the  Backboys"  union,  but  it  is 
expected  that  when  thc-y  get  started 
their  rrjifnifliershlp  will  grow  rapidly. 
Whatever  ouXsiders  may  think  of  their 
association,  it  is  certain  that  the  boys 
know  what  they  are  about  and  that  they 
bf  lieve  the  union  will  bring  them  many 
advantages. 

The  question  that  naturally  arises  on 
hearing  of  this  army  -of  youngsters 
femong  the  factory  operatives  is:  What 
on  earth  do  so  many  children  find  to  do 
in  the  mills?  The  answer  is  simple 
enough  to  anybody  who  has  seen  th:n> 
in  operation,  for  it  is  a  fact  that  a  large 
part  df  the  work  of  turning  out  the 
^millions  of  yards  of  cotton  cloth  that 
are  made  in  this  country  every  year  is 
done  by  l>oys  and  girls.  They  are  em- 
ployed to  assist  the  spinners  who  run 
the  mules  and  the  we^ivers  at  the 
looms.  Son|3  of  them  are  carders,  em- 
ployed in  the  lighter  work  of  almost 
every  department.  A  "mule."  remem- 
t>er.  is  the  great  frame,  twenty  feet  or 
Vnore  wide,  on  whir?h  the  cotton  fiber  is 
f'onvertei  into  thread,  or  yarn,  as  it  is 
called  in  the  mills.  It  moves  back- 
wards and  forwards  on  an  iron  track. 
♦Irawing  out  the  fleecy  cotton  into  fine 
strands,  which  are  reeled  off  to  big 
spools,  ready  for  the  looms.  On  the 
looms  these  threads  arc  unwound,  and 
are  united  by  the  swift  mjnving  shuttles 
to  form  the  fabrics  which  we  see  piled 
up  in  the  stores. 

Roth  in  the  spinning  and  the  weaving 
rooms  each  operative  attends  to  sev- 
eral machines  and  has  one  or  two  as- 
sistants, who  are  boys  or  girls.  These 
are.  in  a  sense,  apprentices:  they  are 
learning  the  trade  and  in  time  are 
likely  to  become  spinners  and  weavers 
themselves.  Like  apprentices,  too.  they 
do  a  great  deal  of  work  and  receive 
very  small  pay. 

As  one  old  workman  put  it.  "there's  a 
lot  of  leg  work  in  a  cotton  mill:"  and 
most  of  this  falls  to  the  share  of  the 
youngsters.  They  run  for  bobbins, 
help  watch  the  looms  to  see  that  the 
yarn  i.s  unreeling  properly,  and  in  gen- 
eral do  everything  that  the  worl<iman 
tells  them  to.  They  don't  often  get  a 
rhance  to  try  running  the  looms  or 
frames    until     they  have    been  a    long 


.30.000  operatives — have  formed  a  union, 
and  I  attended  one  of  its  meetings.  The 
boys  had  evidently  learned  from  the 
older  men  how  to  conduct  a  meeting, 
for  everything  was  done  in  due  order. 
It  was  decided  to  ask  the  Wpavers' 
union  for  recognition — which  was  af- 
terward granted.  This  means  that 
while;  the  strike  lasts  the  backboys 
as  well  as  other  workers  will  be  able 
to  draw  on  the  full  treasuries  of  the 
older  associations.  In  case  there  is  a 
strike  in  some  other  district  after  they 
go  back  to  work,  the.y  may  be  asked  to 
Irontribute  25  cents  per  week  from  their 
wages.to  help  support  those  strikers:  but 
so  flriTi  is  their  faith  in  the  benefits  of 
their  union  that  they  will  willingly  give 
up  one-tenth  of  their  scanty  earnings  for 
its  sake. 


BAD  BOYS  MADE 

ELECTRICIANS 


Copyright,   1898,   by  Bacheller  Syndicate. 

The  state  of  New  York  has  opened 
the  path  of  learning  that  leads  to 
science  to  the  boys  for  whom  it  is 
forced  to  care.  As  a  result  of  this,  the 
electric  department  of  the  state  Indus- 
trial school  at  Rochester  is  a  constant 
object  lesson  to  those  who  believe  that 
l^ioy.s  who  h.ave  once  started  upon  a  life 
that  pointed  toward  an  evil  ending  can- 
not  tie   made   good   citizens. 

It  was  a  good  deal  of  a  venture  at 
first,  but  every  day  is  now  showing  the 
wisdom  of  the  movement.  The  elec- 
trical machinery  that  furnishes  the 
electric  light  for  this  institutiim  is  prac- 
tically operated  entirely  by  boy  elec- 
tricians, there  being,  of  course,  several 
instrui^tors  to  give  the  boys  counsel 
and  be  present  in  case  of  an  emergency. 

When  the  plant  was  first  put  in  it 
furnishetl  1.500  lights  for  the  buildings. 
i)ut  this  number  was  increased  to  over 
.3000.  and  the  source  of  light  from  a  15- 
horse-power  motor  to  four  5-horse- 
power,  one  15-horse-power,  one  10-horse- 
power,  and  two  2-hor»e-power  motors. 
The  additional  motors,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  lO-horse-power,  were  all  de- 
signed and  built  at  the  school  by  the 
boys,  and  all  are  giving  everyday  ser- 
vice. 

These  boys,  most  of  them  declared  In- 


corrigible when  they  wt^re  sent  to  the 
school,  set  up  and  aligned  a  50-horse- 
power  tMigine,  They  also  changed  the 
electric  wires  fi-om  overhead  to  under- 
grountl,  and  conducted  the  ope»ration 
with  su<h  care  that  no  shut  down  of 
the  plant  was  necessary— a  feat  which 
Would  have  refiecteHj  credit  on  skilie^d 
electricians. 

The  experience  of  the  boys  is  made  as 
varied  as  possible.  The  repairing  done 
Is  as  different  as  the  many  electrical 
appliancts  call  for.  Every  bit  of  this, 
except  the  repairing  of  the  testing  in- 
struments, is  done  by  the  boys.  This 
Includes  re'pairs  of  motors,  the  wiring 
of  chandeliers,  the  rewiring  of  new  de- 
partments, caring  for  bell  circuits,  re- 
pairs on  arc  lamps  and  the  trimming  of 
the  same.  Not  only  do  the  boys  per- 
form all  the  work  in  the  electrical  field 
proper,  hut  all  that  is  dirt<'lly  connect- 
ed with  it  as  wt-ll.  This  includes  en- 
gine work,  i-arinir  for  fans  that  are  run 
l>y  motors,  and  the  wiping  and  cleaning 
of  machinery  in  the  power  house. 

The  cardinal  principle  t)f  the  instruc- 
tors is  to  trust  the  boys.  Much  of  the 
work  is  placed  entirtly  in  their  hands. 
With  experience  gained  and  undo'- 
proper  instruction,  they  have  handled 
many  task:;  entirely  alone  and  greatly 
to  the  satisfaction  of  the  management  of 
th«  school. 

The  result  of  all  this  is  that  every 
boy  whom  it  is  found  has  a  lient  in  the 
direction  of  electrical  work  is  given 
an  oi)portunity  to  develop  along  this  line. 
The  results  have  been  astonishing;  and 
even  naw,  a  number  of  the  boys  who 
went  to  the  schrK)l  hopeless  and  without 
ambition  bid  fair  to  become  electricians 
of  a  high  order. 


TO  REVISE  FOOTBALL  RILES. 


Conference  In  Providence  Will  Modify 
the   Rules. 

Providence,  R.  I..  Feb.  19. — Represen- 
tatives freim  athletic  organizations,  col- 
leges and  universities  are  assembled 
here  from  all  the  Eastern  states  to  take- 
part  in  the  conference  to  revise  football 

rules.  The  general  alarm  w'hich  spread 
over  the  country  last  .season  after  the 
death  of  a  number  of  players  has  caused 
the  persons  most  interested  in  the  wel- 
fare of  the   popular  sport     to     try  and 


ALEXANDER  MOFFAT. 


adopt  a  set  of  rules  that  would  do  away 
with  that  part  of  the  game  which  seems 
i  most  brutal.  The  call  was  issued  to  all 
i  the  athletic  societies  by  C.  C.  Cuyler. 
president  of  the  University  Athletic  club 
of  New  York.  The  conference  will  select 
a  cfjmmittee  on  rules,  who  will  modify 
the  present  rules  so  that  thev  conform 
more  to  the  English  way  of  playing  .he 
game.  Robert  D.  Wi\;nn.  who  has  be--n 
selected  to  represent  Harvard  univer- 
sity, is  a  remarkable  all-around  athlete. 
Besides  being  a  champion  at  tennis,  he 
was  one  of  thebest  quarterbacks  Harvard 
ever  had.  Wrenn,  it  is  believed,  will 
prove  a  broad-minded  rule  maker.  His 
views  on    the    quarterback    being    per-

mitted  to  run  with  the  ball  immediately 
after  he  has  reeeived  it  from  the  center 
rush  may  have  weight  with  the  commit- 
tee, as  Wrenn  has  played  quarter  and 
knows  well  the  possibilities  of  the  place. 
Alexander  Moffat,  who  will  reriresent 
Princeton  at  the  meeting,  says  that  he 
has  many  suggestions  as  to  what 
changes  should  l>e  made  in  the  rules,  but 
does  not  care  to  express  an  opinion  on 
any  .Iproposed  modification  of  the  rules. 
Among  the  other  men  who  will  likely 
serve  as  representatives  on  the  rules 
committee  are  Walter  Camp,  of  YaK  : 
John  C.  Bell,  of  I'ennsylvania:  L.  M. 
Denniss,  of  Cornell,  and  Paul  Dashiel,  of 
the  I'nited  States  naval  acade*my  at  An- 
napolis, and  a  graduate  eif  Lehigh  as  the 
delegati-at-largc.

KNEW  HER 
YEARS  AGO 

Duluth    Man    Who   Went  to 

School    With    Dr.  Anna 

Shaw,  Recently  Here. 


WAS  NOT  SO  BRIGHT 


Did    Not    Learn    Easily    But 

Worked  Hard— Ed  Eorce 

in  Chicago. 


When  the  Re^'.  Anna  H.  Shaw  was  in 
Duluth  recently  she  had  the  satisfac- 
tion of  meeting  a  gentleman  who  used 
to  be  a  schoolinate  of  hers  at  Big 
Rapids,  Mich.  He  was  a  small  boy 
whe^n  she  was  a  big  girl,  she  being  7 
ytars  his  senior.  He  went  to  hear  her 
heture  and  then  to  hear  her  preach  and 
remembenng  the  Anna  Shaw  he  knew 
twenty-five  years  ago  he  wondered  how 
she  had  acexmipMshed  se>  much.  He 
called  on  her  and  talked  to  her  of  old 
tinits  and  found  that  while  she  had 
gained  a  world-wide  fame  as  the  fore- 
most woiian  preacher  of  the  age,  she 
had  not  forgotten  the  playmates  of  her 
childhood,  nor  the  subjects  which  then 
heid   their  attention. 

In  .spaking  of  her  to  a  Herald  re- 
porter Anna  Shaw's  one-time  ac-Tiool- 
niate  sali: 

"When  she  was  just  developing  into 
womanhcod  she  was  in  habits,  man- 
ners and  appe^arance  an  old  maid.  She 
was  very  slender  and  very  homely, 
and  took  little  inter*; st  in  the  games 
:ind  pleasures  of  the  other  young  peo- 
ple. She  studied,  studied,  studied,  all 
the  time  and  she  had  to  study  in  order 
to  keep  ip  with  her  classes,  h>v  she  did 
not  then  learn  easily.  I  remember  well 
that  in  mathematies  in  particular  she 
experienced  great  diculffity.  I  was  in 
her  class  in  algebra  although  several 
years  younger  than  she  was  and  we 
hoys  thoight  we  were  very  smart  be- 
e«,use  we  could  undeistand  our  lesson.* 
so  much  more  readily  than  Anna  Shaw, 
when  she  was  older  and  therefore  ought 
to  have  known  so  much  more  than 
we.  With  all  of  her  hard  work  in 
schewl  Miss  Shaw  was  very  religious. 
She  preached  e>ccasionally  and  finally 
went  away  and  I  hearel  no  more  of  her 
until  she  became  famous.  When  she 
was  here  she  recognize-a  me  in  a  crowd 
and  although  she  had  not  seen  me  for 
more  than  twenty  years  she  called  me 
by  name  after  a  moment's  hesitation 
and  I  kn  ?w  she  was  glad  to  see  me  and 
talk  to  rne.  I  conadder  her  a  most  re- 
markable- woman." 


LARGEST  AERIAL  TRAMWAY  IN  THE  WORLD.

What  it  is  Expected  to  Accomplish*

Secretary  Force,  of  the  police  depart- 
ment, who  was  called  to  Chicago  by  the 
illness  of  his  sister,  is  laid  up  there 
with  the  rheumatism.  He  is  longing 
for  a  slice  of  Duluth  weather  and 
thinks  that  a  couple  of  days  of  it  would 
put  hiHfj  on  his  feet.  He  Is  disgusted 
with  Crtcago  weather  and  Chicago 
streets.  In  a  lettir  to  a  friend  in  Du- 
luth, he  writes  as  follows: 

'The  fng  has  been  so  thick  you  make 
a  hole  iri  it  every  time  j-hju  move.  If 
we  had  such  dirty,  filthy  streets  in  Du- 
luth a.s  tliey  have  in  Chicago  we  would 
have  hog:  chol<?ra,  yellow  fever,  small- 
p<ix  and  all  the  other  fatal  diseases. 
Chicago  is  a  disgrace  to  American 
cities.  *  *  •  »  I  must  say  that  the 
street  railway  company  could  come  to 
Chicago  and  get  lots  of  pointers  that 
the  i>atn«is  of  the  road  would  ap^ire- 
e'iate  whem  the  present  charter  expire.?. 
It  ought  to  be  made  to  pull  down  its 
wires  and  put  in  the  storage  battery 
system.  *  •  •  *  j  shall  he  home  a.s 
«oon  as  I  can  Walk,  and  the  sooner  the 
better,  for  while  it  is  not  fref-zing,  it 
has  a  peculiar  faculty  of  chilliiTig  the 
marrow  in  one's  bones." 

He  ctm eluded  by  saying  that  he  feels 
like  inserting  a  e-lause  in  the  Lord's 
prayer.   t.sking   for   Duluth    weather. 


Co-pyright  1898,  hy  Bacheller  Syndicate. 

The  first  railroad  of  the  Klondike  has 
b«en  completed.  It  Is  a  railroad  and 
yet  not  a  railroad,  in  that  it  is  an 
aerial  tramway:  but  it  will  answer  a 
great  purpejse.  for  it  solves  the  most 
fearful  problem  of  the  overland  Jour- 
ii'y  to  the  new  Eldorado— how  to  cross 
Chilkoot  pass  in  ease  and  safety. 

The  tramway  starts  at  Dyea,  which 
is  the  end  of  the  ne^arest  part  water 
route  from  the  Unit<?d  States  to  the 
Klondike.  From  this  point  it  is  nei- 
essary  for  the  e-'migrant  to  journey  full 
Too  miles  over  the  mountains  and 
through  the  pitiless  Chilkoot  pass, 
where  even  now  the  way  is  lined  with 
gravels  of  prospectors  in  much  the 
same  fashion  that  the  old  route  to 
California  was  fairly  "blazed  out" 
through  the  desert  and  the  wilderne.ss 
by  the  resting  places  of  the  toilers  who 
died  while  pursuing  their  perilous  jour- 
ney. 

It  is  at  Dyea  that  the  tramway  be- 
gins. The  first  seetion  runs  to  the 
mouth  oif  what  is  called  Dyea  canon. 
Thence  another  atrial  tramway  runs 
fof  a  distance  of  four  miles  to  Sheep 
camp.  The  third  see-tion  runs  from 
Sheep  camp  o\'H?r  Chilkoot  pass  and 
down  to  Crater  lake,  a  distance  of 
three  mile^  and  a  half. 

It  mu.st  not  be  supposed  that  n-gular 
passenger  cars  travel  on  these  lin.s. 
The  aerial  tramway  Is  more  likv  the 
sy.xtem  by  which  the  little  change  boxes 
are   e^rculated     around     a  gr<  at     store 


this  road  is  that  it  is  the  longest  of  all 
the  tramways  in  existence.  Hereto- 
fore there  have  been  lines  as  long  as 
three  and  four  miles,  and  the  length 
dwindles  down  from  that  to  a  few  hun- 
dred feet;  so  this  is  by  far  the  greate*st 
achievement  in  the  tramway  building 
lint'    yet    ree-orded. 

The  passengers  on  the  line  will  suffer 
a  littl-  from  cold  weather,  it  is  likely, 
for  (m  Chilkoot  pass  the  summer  would 
seem  no  summer  at  all  to  persons  un- 
accustomed to  those  northern  latitudes. 
The  blizzard  that  recently  swept  down 
upon  the  United  States  is  a  first  cousin 
tu  every  day  weather  m  Chilkoot.  The 
novice  can  understand  from  this  some- 
thing of  the  danger  that  the  gold  se^ek- 
ers  who  trudge  over  Chilkoot  to  the 
Klondike  had  to  face. 

The  l)uilding  of  the  line  in  its'?lf  is  a 
triumph  both  of  engine^ering  and  of  for- 
titude". The  topography  of  the  section 
over  which  the  tramway  runs  is  such 
as  to  preclude  the  possibility  of  con- 
structing an  ordinarj-  railroad  line. 
LcKomotives  can  climb  Pike's  Peak: 
they  can  circle  around  the  loop  up  past 
(Georgetown  to  Graymount  in  Colorado: 
but  when  it  eomes  to  the  task  of  going 
through  Chilkoot  pas.s,  the  locomotive 
mu.=;t  stand  aside  and  give  way  to  the 
tramway. 

The  men  who  constructed  the  latter 
had  to  Ijear  in  mind  that  the  supports 
of  th-'ir  aerial  transjjortatjon  line  must 
be  of  such  a  nature  and  of  sufliicient 
strength,  to  preclude  even  the  possi- 
bility of  accident.  Disaster  in  the 
vicinity    of    the    Chilkoot    would    mean 


A  KENTUCKY  HERMIT. 


Mystery    of    a    Physician    Who    Re- 
nounced the    World. 

Alexander  Shaw,  of  Lewis  county, 
Ky.,  lives  in  a  secluded  cabin  alone, 
near  the  Ohio  river.  He  has  occupied  it 
for  fifty    years.     The   cabin   is   a   very 

j  small  one  of  two  rooms,  with  one  soli- 
tary 4-pane  window  in  the  end  and  a 
small  porch  on  one  side,  says  the  Cin- 
cinnati Enquirer.  As  you  enter  from 
the  porch  on  one  side  is  a  little  parlor, 
searcely  \'l  by  10  ft-ei,  with  a  cozy-1  jok- 
ing fireplace,  a  heavy  fioor  of  yellow 
pine,  a  couple  of  ann  chairs  made  from 
the  .saplings  of  the  forest,  a  small  table 
with  handsomely  carved  legs,  and  In 
the  ce>rner  of  this  room  art-  a  number 
of  triangular  shelves,  which  contain  a 
number  of  volumes  on  the  subject  of 
Inedicine,  on  which  subject  Mr.  Shaw  i.s 
well   read,   and   has  been  called   to  us«* 

'  his  skill,  which  was  successful  where 
I>rominent  physicians  were  of  no  avail. 
It  is  a  difficult  matter  to  persuade  him 
to  leave  home,  as  he  says  h*  studies 
medicine   for  pleasure  only. 

Mr.  Shaw  has  in  his  col'ectlon  of 
books  a  number  of  volumes  of  recent 
issue,  but  how  he  came  into  possession 
of  these  no  one  knows,  as  he  is  seldom 
st-en  away  from  his  hut.  In  the  other 
room  is  a  br3ed  bedstead,  where  he 
sleeps  on  a  bed  made  of  hides  of  opos-

JANIARY  AND  MAY  TO  WED. 


Gen.  Keerney  and  a    Kentucky   Belle 
to  Be  Married. 

Louisville,   Ky.,    Feb.    ly.— One   of   the 

most  interesting  weddings  that  has  oc- 
curred in  this  state  for  some  years  will 
take  place  here  immVMliately  after  Easter. 
It  was  announe-ed  some  days  ago,  and 
the  event  is  still  the  topic  of  e-onversa- 
tion  ami:)ng  the  acquaintiinccs  of  th,- 
contracting  parties.  Gen.  John  Watts 
Kearny,  who  is  aj>proaching  his  three- 
score of  >ears.  will  take  under  his  winj; 
a  bride  of  2fi  summers.  Gen.  Kearny  is 
the  son  of  "Fighting  Phil"  Kearny,  and 
it  is  the  second  time  that  he  ha,«  fallen 
before  the  graces  of  a  Kentucky  woman. 
Some  years  ago  he  married  a  Miss  Mc- 
Nairy,  of  Princeton,  Ky.  She  died,  how- 
ever, a  short  time  after  they  had  taken 
up  their  home  in  New  York.    The  bride- 


^:S 


.MISS  KLIZAHETri  HARRISON. 


elect,  Mis.s  piizabeth  Harrison,  is  <int' 
of  the  m  >st  accomplished  young  ladies 
of  Kentucky.  She  is  a  descendant  of 
the  Byrds,*  the  Carys  and  the  Carters, 
the  bluest  of  the  blue  blood  of  the 
South.  Her  father.  Col.  Julian  Har- 
li.son  of  Elk  Hills,  on  the  James,  was 
considered  the  handsomest  oflie'cr  in  the 
Confederate  army,  while  her  mother, 
Phoebe  Johnson,  of  Paducah.  was  the 
handsomest  bride  of  her  time  in  Ken- 
tucky. Mi.ss  Harrison  inherits  the 
beauty  of  her  family,  and  has  been  the 
reigning  belle  in  Kentucky  and  Vir- 
ginia soci.'ty. 

Another  very  interesting  feature  of  the 
affair  is  the  fact  that  J.  Watts  Kearn.v, 
Jr..  the  sjn  of  the  general,  was  at  one 
time  a  de\oted  admirer  of  Miss  Harrison. 
He  is  no\i-  confined  in  a  sanitarium  at 
Brockdalp,  N.  J.  H<'  was  placed  there 
by  the  court  at  the  instigation  of  the 
father  for  habitual  drunkenness.  After 
his  marriage  the  general  will  take  his 
wife  to  New  York  to  reside.

the  destruction  of  all  the  freight  and 
the  loss  of  all  the  lines  on  the  train. 
During  the  construction  the  weather 
was  feai'ful,  and  the  hardships  the 
workmen  were  forced  to  endure  were 
in  .some  instances  almost  equal  to  those 
■  if  Arctic  explorers. 

Stout  hearts  and  strong  bodies  have 
at  last,  however,  wem  the  day.  and  the 
emigrant  bound  Klondikewards  need  no 
longer  dread  the  terrors  of  th  -  Chil- 
koot. In  fact,  the  building  of  this 
aerial  line  is  almo.st  as  great  a  boon 
to  the  Klondike  region  as  was  the  com- 
I)le>tion  of  the  first  railrtiad  over  which 
passengers  could  travel  to  the  gate- 
way of  the  Pacific. 


SAWDUST  EXPLOSIONS. 


than-  the  ordinary  railroad.  The  ac- 
companying illustration  indicates  just 
how  the  miners  and  their  outfits  will 
lie  carried.  Primarily,  the  tramway  is 
for  freight,  because  it  is  in  the  trans- 
portation of  freight  that  the  greatest 
profit  lies,  but  pass*^ngers  will  be  per- 
mitted to  journey  with  the  goods  oc- 
casionally, provided  they  are  willing 
to  endure  the  very  rude  ae-commenla- 
tlon  that  such  a  method  of  traveling 
affords. 

Hugh  C.  Wallace,  president  of  the 
Chilkoot  Railroad  and  Transport  com- 
pany, fixers  the  minimum  cai>acity  of 
thr-  road  at  120  tons  of  freight  per  day. 
No  estimate  is  made  as  to  passengers, 
but  it  is  the  company's  expectation 
that  each  day  there  will  be  canied  the 
outfits  of  from  400  to  ,')00  miners.  Inas- 
much as  it  is  »'Stimated  that  fully  7."), 000 
miners,  or  would-be  miners,  will  try  to 
»nter  the  Klondike  the  coming  season 
by  way  of  Dyea,  one  can  imagine  that 
this  queer  but  very  convenient  railway 
will   be  kept  rather  bu.sy. 

It  may  seem  at  first  that  the  line  is 
a  very  short  one  for  s"o  much  to  be 
made  of  it,  but  what  it  really  accom- 
plishes may  best  be  understeMKl  when  it 
is  considere^d  that  under  previous  con- 
ditions, evem  in  fairly  good  weather,  it 
has  taken  a  miner  thirty  days  to  make 
th<'  journey  that  the  tramway  makes 
po.s.sible  in  a  few  hours.  It  therefore 
sav^-s  just  about  a  month  of  the  trip 
to  the  Klondike — quite  a  saving  when 
it  is  considered  that  Dawson  City  is 
W?,'  miles  from   Se^attle. 

Men  who  know— experienced  miners 
and  prospectors  in  Alaska  and  the 
country  north— declare  that  the  re- 
moval of  this  diflflculty  really  marks  the 
disappearance  of  the  greatest  peril  and 
hardship  of  the  journey  to  the  gold 
fields.  It  will  alwj  reduce  the  cost  eif 
such   a  journey   one-third. 

Another   fact   of  interest   relative   to 


The  Ottawa  River   Is   the   Scene   of 
Upheavals. 

Who  ever  heard  of  sawdust  explo- 
sions? They  are  common  enough  in 
<\Tnada.  Na\igation  on  the  Ottawa 
river  has  bee^n  seMTiously  impeded  at 
limt«    by    explosions    of    saweiust,    and 

the  Dominion  government  has  at  la.=t 
deeirde'd  to  take  steps  to  pjrevent  any 
practice  whi<h  will  enhaniv  the  possi- 
iHlity  of  these  explix«ions  taking  place. 
One  would  hardly  .suppo.se  that  saw- 
eiust dumped  into  th-  river  would,  in 
course  of  time,  refonn  Itself  into  a 
gas  generator  which  would  keep  the 
surface  of  the  stream  in  a  constant 
state  of  upheaval.  But  it  is  true  to 
such  an  extent  that  small  l>oat.s  have 
been  capsized  and  large  vessels  hav.* 
been  injured  by  the  submarine  con- ; 
veilsions.  j 

The  bottom   of      the   Ottawa  ri%'<er  is  j 
covered   with  a  deep   layer  of  sawdust  j 
dumped    there    by    the   lumbermen   who  | 
hav-     carrJenl    on    their   log    cutting    in-  j

skins,  and  awakes  in  the  morning  with 
his  eye  on  a  large  lithograph  of  a  hand- 
some young  woman,  but  who  she  is  is  a 
mystery.  Tradition  has  it  that  this  pic- 
ture is  that  of  a  Miss  Wils3n.  Mr. 
Shaw's  former  and  only  sweet tieart, 
and  she  having  died  at  a  tender  age, 
Mr.  Shaw  never  married. 

Mr.  Shaw  is  a  native  of  the  Keystone 
state  and  is  of  German  descent,  which 
language  he  speaks,  along  with  French 
and  English.  He  refused  to  tell  his  age, 
saying  he  would  tell  some  time  his 
whole  story.  He  is  said  to  be  four  score 
years  or  more,  and  it  is  expected  at  his 
death  a  history  of  his  queer  life  will  be 
found  about  his  cabin.  His  hair  and 
beard  are  long  and  white,  and  his  face 
is  pale  from  age  and  absence  from  the 
rays  of  the  sun. 


TREATMENT    e)F     KKnZK.N     PLANI*S. 

As  soon  as  discovered,  rcmoyi'  the  trf)s:- 
ed  plants  to  a  t-otjl  phue  where  the  tem- 
perature c;in  by  some  means  b.  gimUially 
raised  until  il  leaches  that  to  which  the 
plants  have  been  accnstomcrt.  says  tho» 
Woiran's  Home  e'onii)aiiion.  A  siuiilen 
risi-  in  the  tempt  ralure.  after  plants  have 
been  badly  frosted,  thaws  thim  too  rap- 
idly and  results  disastrously.  Trim  e»fr  th<? 
tender  shoots  which  ;ire  l)eyoiid  help, 
and  then  gradually  raise  the  temperature 
duriiiK  the  day  until  1:  n^nhes  the  accus- 
tomed mark.  They  mav  then  soon  bi 
V)laced  ill  their  proper  places,  but  it  might 
be  well  to  shade  them  for  a  day  or  tv»a 
from  the  sun. 

A  splendid  and  effective  protection 
against  a  certain  amount  of  cold  Is  se- 
cure<1  by  placing  over  the  plnntb  cones 
made  from  jiaper.  In  this  manner  iiold 
drafts  from  about  windows  on  very  se- 
vere windy  niKhts  can  be  kept  from  harm- 
ing the  plants. 


MAKING  WAX  LIFELIKE. 

Boston  Transcript:  "How  long  does 
it  take  to  make  one  of  these?"  /aid  the 
manufacturer  in  response  to  an  inquiry. 
"Well,  it  depends  entirely  upon  circum- 
stances. It  is  n.it  a  mechanical  opera- 
tion: the  finishing  off  of  a  wax  model 
is  as  true  to  life  as  this."  and  he  pointed 
to  the  liust  of  a  laughing  child,  whose 
rosy  neck  and  bright  eyes  were  framtvl 
by  clustering  curls.  "To  make  these 
one  must  have  studied  anatomy,  as  well 
as  drawing  and  modeling.  We  begin  in 
the  same  way  as  a  sculptor  would  to 
make  a  statue.  After  the  wax  has  cooled 
the  eyes  are  put  in.  the  face  is  'made 
up.*  as  theatrical  folks  say.  and  the  wig 
is  fastened  on.  and  the  wocKien  body  is 
shaped.  We  make  all  our  hands  and 
feet  from  life,  and  they  cost  about  $10. 
If  we  have  an  order  for  an  entire  figure 
wc  always  model  it  from  life.  The  life- 
size  wax  figures  of  infant?  are  among 
the  finest  things  we  manufacture,  and 
they  add  much  to  the  attractiveness  of 
a  show  window,  as  was  illustrated  last 
winter,  when  a  Washington  street  re- 
tail dealer  displayed  one  during  the 
holiday  se-ason.  The  head  and  shoul- 
ders, such  as  are  seen  in  the  milliners 
window,  cost  from  $40  to  $4.^.  The  wig 
makes  considerable  difference  in  the 
price,  as  we  use  the  best  hair,  and  it  is 
expensive,  especially  the  natural  blonde, 
which  is  scarce.  The  children's  heads 
cost   $20  or  thereabouts. 

"All  the  finishing  off  imaginable,"  ho 
continued,  'would  not  make  the  figure 
stanil  the  test  of  a  season  behind  the 
glare  of  a  glass  unle.ss  the  wax  has  a 
natural  pink  tinge.  The  reason  sjme  of 
the  models  look  so  deathly  is  because 
the  wax  is  bad  and  not  proi>erly  colored. 
We  use  beeswax,  slightly  colored,  and 
flesh  tints  are  put  on  in  adeiition." 


SHINGALESE  CHILDREN. 
Outing:  "The  Shingale-se  children  are 
said  to  be  more  beautiful  than  those  of 
any  other  race  on  the  four  contineftits, 
and  some  of  the  little  girls,  even  of  th<? 
very  lowest  caste,  are  irresistibly  pretty 
as  they  run  before  .vou  in  the  streets  to 
beg;  ihev  cry  out  in  the  sweetest  and 
most  plaintive  of  voices,  touching  the 
stomach  to  signify  hunger  in  a  way  that 
would  he  awkward  and  vulgar  in  any 
other  being,  but  to  them  it  is  so  win- 
some that,  before  you  know  it.  you  sar- 
rlfice  a  rupee  to  the  bad  cause  of  encour- 
aging them  in  begging — knowing  quite 
well  that  all  they  want  is  a  good  oppor- 
tunity to  pick  your  pockeit  for  mpre."

REVIEW  OF  TRADE. 


Prospects  For  Immense  Out- 
put of  Iron    Ore  For 
Coming  Season. 

New  York.  Feb.  19.— R.  G.  Dun  & 
Co.'s  review  of  trade  says:  The 
dreadful  disaster  to  the  Maine,  mueh 
as  it  has  affected  all  hearts,  has  n-^t 
much  affected  business.  Only  in  th - 
stock  m.arket,  where  there  was  sell- 
ing Wednesday  by  speculators  on 
the  margins,  but  in  no  other  specu- 
lative market  was  an  effect  felt,  nor  in 
general  business.  An  advance  of  10 
per  cent  in  wages  by  some  Gogebic 
mines  is  expected  to  be  gen'^ral 
throughout  the  lake  region,  excepting 
the  Mesaba  district.  The  prices  of 
ore  from  the  other  ranges  this  y- ar 
have  been  advanced  1.")  per  cent  with 
an  allotment  of  6,000.000  tons  outsidt- 
Carnegie  mines,  which  betok"n«  an 
outi>ut    much    the   largest   ever   known. 

Wheal  has  risen  3%c  and  expnrt.s 
continue  so  heavy  that  a  material  ad- 
vp.nce  is  natural.  Atlantic  exports  in 
three  weeks  have  lieen  8,416  4tt"i  hush'-ls, 
flour  ineluded,  against  .'.661.971  last 
year,  and  Pacific  exports  have  been 
2,476,652.  against  1.474.7S2  last  v?ar. 
Such  shipments  with  heavy  emrag'- 
ments  for  the  future  in  spite  ■)f  U.-i:;*'!.- 
XMl  bushels  of  corn  exported,  ngainst 
12,r,u7,214  bushels  in  the  same  weeks 
lust  year,  are  conclusive  proof  of  ih'^ 
urgency  of  foreign  needs.  Wh.?at  re- 
••eipts  hold  up  well  though  not  ex- 
ceeding last  year's  as  much  a^  ex- 
pf)rts,  in  three  weeks,  7,775.."i60  bush- 
els, against  4,S.S4.740  last  yea;-.  The 
bottom  fiict  is  that  the  world  i.eeds 
wheat  which  this  country  can  only 
supply  for  aViout  six  months  to  com". 
Cotton  has  held  unchanged  for  spit, 
although  a  little  lower  for  >p'-i'>ns, 
prospects  of  (b'crease  in  the  next  yicM 
being  the   main  support. 

Th.'  iron  output  Feb.  1,  with  repoits 
of  st(Kks  on  hand  not  held  by  the 
great  steel  companies.  indic-it«  s  a 
consumption  of  at  least  3000  tons  per 
week  greater  in  January  than  in  the 
I)revious  maximum  attained  in  No- 
vember, lRrt5.  The  production  is  at 
present  greater  than  consumption, 
stocks  having  increa.sed  ".Hllfi  tons 
weekly  in  January  outside  the  steel 
companies,  whose  stocks  presumably 
decreased.  Some  weakness  in  pig 
would  naturally  result,  but  whil.?  gr.y 
forge  has  declined  at  Pittsburg  to 
$8.90  with  Southern  iron  offer'^d  at 
Chicago  at  concessions,  no  ihanges 
appear  in  products.  Though  new- 
business  has  l>een  somewhat  disap- 
pointing, the  works  are  inainlv  sup- 
plied for  months  ahead.  In  liuildin,:? 
of  steel  cars,  in  l>lock  sheets  I'or  tin- 
ning, in  rods,  wire  and  wire  nails,  in- 
crea.sed demand  an<l  heavy  business 
appears  though  bar  and  pipe  are  weul»-

The  recent  opening  of  higher  grade

ileman<l  than  was  expected,  with  b.ss

WHAT  BRADSIREET  SAYS. 

Few  Factors  or  Conditions  That   Are 

Disturbing. 

New  York.  Feb.  1?.— Bradslreefs  says 
favorable  features  dominate  the  general 
busin.^ss  situation  as  a  whole  and  few 
commercial  conditions  present  them- 
selves which  can  be  regarded  as  in  any 
degre-r  disturbing.  Chief  among  those 
factors  which  make  for  continued  or 
growing  strength  in  commercial  lines 
I  may  be  mentioned  the  renewed  ten- 
I  dency  toward  advances  in  quotations 
of  all  staple  articles  and  th-  sleadine=.= 
of  prices  in  other  lines  where  increaije.-^ 
are  not  at  the  moment  reportable. 

Perhaps  second  in  the  list  of  au.?- 
picious  featur-es  is  the  continuance  of 
marked  activity  in  nearly  aJl  branches 
of  the  iron  and  steel  trade,  more  par- 
ticularly in  the  central  West,  where  it 
is  authoritatively  rep<>rted  over  90  per 
cent  of  the  pig  iron  furnace  capacity 
is  in  blast.  The  failure  of  the  South- 
ern furnace  men  to  reach  a  price  agree- 
ment is  of  course  a  depressing  ftrature 
in  that  particular  sec-tion.  which,  how- 
ever, finds  a  counter-balancing  factor 
in  the  attention  to  advance  prices  re- 
ported from  the  Bessemer  ore  pro- 
ducers. 

The  volume  of  distributive  trade 
shows  an  increasr^  ijotably  in  dry  goods 
and  groceries,  also  many  widely  sep- 
arated points  as  to  warrant  the  conclu- 
sion that  spring  trade  i.s  receiving  a 
perceptible  impetus.  .A.t  the  West,  iron 
and  steel  mills  are  r- ported  generally 
busily  employed  and  unv.illing  to  tak- 
orders  as  eariy  deliver>-.  At  Chicago 
30,000  tons  of  steel  rails  have  been  sold 
in  the  past  two  weeks.  The  bicycle 
trade  is  reported  starting  up  well  at  the 
West,  but  is  still  siow  at  the  East, 
where,  however,  the  cotton  goods  situ- 
ation is  one  of  hopeful  strength,  owing 
to  the  strength  of  raw  material  and  the 
restrictions  of  protection  due  to  the 
New  England  mill  strikes.  The  strength 
of  cotton,  sugar  and  rice  and  the  de- 
mand for  iron  all  favor  the  Southern 
trade  situation  which  is  also  being 
helped  by  the  growing  foreign  trade  in 
foreign  cotton. 

Business  failures  continue  to  de- 
crease aggregating  only  269  for  the  week 
against  273  a  week  ago.  32.i  for  th- 
correspoading  week  of  1897,  276  in  1S9»", 
327  in  189.5  "&«d  23.')  in  1S94.  Of  the  tola. 
number  of  concerns  failing,  ol  per  cent 
had  a  capital  not  exceeding  $5000,  and 
90   per   Cent  had   a  capital   below   $2i>,- 

000. 

As  above  Intimated,  the  price  situa- 
tion is  one  of  l<xal  .strength.  Compared 
with  a  week  ago,  not  one  article  .. 
staple  use  is  reported  lower,  although 
som>-  low  grades  of  wool  woult^have  to 
be  shaded  if  sales  were  made.  This  was 
owin.g  to  the  absence  of  manufactur  rs 
from  the  markets  during  tht'  i^ast  few 
weeks.Prices  of  n.;arly  all  kinds  of  grain 
but  notably  wheat,  corn  and  Hour  and 
of  most  motals.  and  iiarticularly  stcl 
billets,  copper,  lead  and  tin,  have  ad- 
vanced. The  agreement  by  the  Besse- 
mer orf  prfHlucers  will  probably  result 
in  an  advance  on  the  coming  seasons 
output. 

Cereal  exports  tend  to  increase.  Ex- 
ports of  wheat  (Hour  included)  for  the 
week  aggregate  3,932,744  bushels,  as 
against  3.419,000  bushels  la,st  wet-k,  2.- 
120,000  bushels  last  year,  3.149.000  bushel? 
in  1896  and  1,808.000  bushels  in  1S9.">.  The 
bulK  of  this  increase  over  last  week  is 
chargeable  to  large  Hour  exports.  In- 
dian corn  exports  for  tne  week  are  also 
larger,  reflecting  the  turning  of  atten- 
tion toward  the  lower  priced  cereals  in 
a  total  amounting  to  .';.0."i6.000  bushels 
as  compared  with  4.508.000  bushels  last 
week.  6.441,000  bushels  in  this  w- ek  a 
yeur  ago,  2,925,000  bushels  in  1S96  and 
592.000  bushels  in  1S95. 


CARE  OF  HOUSE  FERNS. 

In  the  hoi!Si  where  ferns  are  kept  in- 
duce by  means  of  evaporation,  syringing 
or  spraying  as  much  moisture  to  the  air 
as  possible.. for  they  gene.-ally  do  not  suc- 
cestfuUy  withstand  a  dry.  parchinp  ai- 
mo.=phere.  says  :he  Woman's  Home 
Companion.  For  the  purpo.=e  of  retaining 
a  moist  air  about  the  plant  Wardiaii 
cases  or  ferneries  are  often  used  with  g'j"'! 
success,  or  a  glass  bell  placed  over  the 
plant  part  of  the  time.  It  is  well  to  bear 
in  mind,  al&o.  that  ferns  <with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  hardy  upland  sorts)  grow  in 
moist  shaded  places.  It  Is  therefore  essen- 
tial that  they  never  drj-  out  and  that 
they  be  kept  in  partial  shade.  It  is  not 
wise,  however,  to  so'dk  the  plan:s  daily, 
whether  needed  or  not.  When  new  fron-is 
are  unfurling,  avoid  placing  the  plant  in 
a  position  where  It  will  he  exposed  t  >  the 
full  power  of  the  sunlight,  as  it  will  some- 
times burn  or  blast  the  lender  voune

Since  the  la:*t  game  of  indoor  base- 
bvill  the  curlers  have  been  monopoliz- 
ing all  of  the  business  in  winter  sports 
at  the  head  of  the  lakes,  though  they 
have  not  been  iloing  a  grreat  deal  to 
gain  that  proud  distinction.  Indeed,  up 
to  today  the  curlers  have  been  indulging 
in  a  rest  of  some  weeks.  There  has  l>een 
practically  noting  doing  since  the  first 
quota  of  rinks  went  away  to  a  bon- 
!»riel.  the  one  at  St.  Paul.  While  the 
bonspiels  have  been  goinjir  on.  a  lars<? 
propv^rtion  of  the  best  and  busiest 
curlers  have  been  engaged  In  them, 
while  most  of  the  rest  have  been  stay- 
ing at  home  watching  the  doings  of  the 
representatives  of  Duluth.  Then  when 
the  curlers  came  back  they  have  had 
to  rest  f«>r  a  while,  and  it  seems  that  the 
others  have  had  so  much  sympathy  %vith 
tht  m    that     they   have     turned   in   and 

helped  them  rest. 

«    «    • 

Tonight,  however,  the  spell  was  to  he 
br>.ken  by  a  contest  at  the  Tait  rink 
that  promised  to  bring  out  all  of  the 
best  efforts  of  all  of  those  who  par- 
ticipate. The  native-born  curlers  were 
to  be  lined  up  tonight  against  those  of 
foreign  birth,  and  the  players  who  were 
n3t  drawn  to  play  were  all  expected  to 
bo  there  to  see  the  best  man  win.  The 
foreign-born  players  are  to  a  large  ex- 
tent Scots,  from  the  birthplace  of  the 
game,  and  therefore  supposed  to  be 
jtiuliarly  fitted  for  it.  Many  of  the 
ver.  have  good  Scotch 
^  ,  through  their  veins,  and 
liiTV  arc  none  the  worse  for  it  either. 
The  exotics  were  believed  to  be  some- 
what handicapped  by  the  fait  that 
tht-re  is  only  about  enough  foreign-born 
curlers  in  the  club  to  fill  the  necessary 
number  o«f  rinks,  so  some  of  them  were 
pretty  sure  tj  get  some  players  who 
were  not  so  experienced  as  others,  while 
the  natives  had  nearly  the  whole  field 
t:>  pick  from.

The    indo<5r   baseball    players    of    Du- 

luth  seem  to  have  taken  their  defeat 
hardly.  They  have  not  Meen  heard 
from  since  the  game  with  Minneapolis. 
in  which  the  latter  club  won.  It  was 
the  intention,  however,  to  make  that ; 
al>out  the  last  game  of  the  season,  so 
the  apparent  disconsolate  condition  of 
the    locals    is    only    apparent    and    not 

real. 

«    •    • 

A  correspondent  writing  to  the  sport- 
ing- crilumn  of  The  Herald  recently  takes 
a  somewhat  pessimistic  view  of  the 
sp<:>rting  situation  in  Duluth.  Says  he: 
■What  is  the  matter  tt  the  young  men 
of  this  city?  I  have  not  been  paying  a 
great  deal  of  attention  to  sporting  mat- 
ters, hut  it  really  seems  to  me  that  the 
Duiuth  boys  get  walloped  to  a  greater 
or  less  degree  in  everything  they  go 
into,  whether  it  is  baseball,  indoor  or 
outdoDr.  basket  ball,  polo,  tiddle-de- 
winks  or  whatnot.  Why  is  this?  Are 
there  no  athletic  young  men  here,  or  is 

no  attention  paid  to  sports?" 

«    «    • 

This  corres«or»dent  only  echoes  what 
a  good  many  others  have  thought,  yet 
hardly  dared  to  speak.  There  is  some- 
thing in  his  complaint,  though  hardly 
as  much  as  he  seems  to  think.  He  for- 
gets that  while  the  Duluth  curlers  are 
not  superior  to  those  from  Canada, 
•C'ur  Lady  of  the  Snows,"  where  curl- 
ing is  a  part  of  their  business  and  where 
extra  go>d  curlers  are  common  in  every 
club,  they  hold  their  own  with  the 
American  curlers  and  have  be?n  very 
surt  essful.  He  foreets  that  the  Duluth 
Boat  club  has  sent  crews  to  the  Minne- 
tonka  regatta  that  have  carried  off  the 
best  prizes,  and  that  the  club  will  have 
crews  on  the  water  this  year  that  will 
yield  the  palm  to  none  in  the  Xorth- 
west,  if  they  do  at  the  national  regatta, 
where  it  is  intended  they  shall  go.  But 
in  the  other  things,  field  sp:)rt3.  base- 
ball, etc.,  it  is  true  that  Duluth  is  lack- 
ing, and  this  is  largely  becaus'?  of  the 
lack  of  int^est  in  and  support  of  such 
things  that  the  Duluth  public  display-s. 
Th»:  events  that  p-ay  their  <  ost  here  are 
fi'W  and  far  between,  though  it  may  be 
said  that  instead  of  the  deficiency  in 
sports  coming  from  the  lack  of  patron- 
age, the  shoe  is  on  the  other  foot.

It  i.=i  jxussild'  that  "Kid'  Mi  Coy  and 
Billy  Stift.  tht^  Chirago  middl<— wHght. 
may  furnish  a  6-r>)und  lx>ut  as  the  chief 
attraction  of  an  athletic  r-araival  to  »>e 
iKdd  in  Chicago  ne.vt  month.  Tom  Han- 
ton,  the  backer  of  the  Xorth  Side  lM>xer. 
has  confidence  f-n<>ugh  in  his  mian  to 
solid  him  against  the  best  in  th  -  oiun- 
try  for  a  iimite«l  number  of  rounds  at 
lhr»*  middle-weight  limit.  Hf  empha.ti- 
f.'illy  denies  the  a.ssertion  ma«le  by  seve- 
ral ftstii-  critics  that  Stift  i.s  virtually 
a  heavy-weight  and  i»  unable  to  reduce 
to  158  pounds.  Hanton  rec^-ntly  offered 
to  wag'T  $2i<)  with  an  official  of  a  pn^m- 
irrent  athletic  organization  that  Stift 
could  weigh  in  at  l.JS  pounds,  and  in 
response  to  a  question  as  to  whether  th'=' 
latter  .would  meet  Frank  Childs  replied 
in  the  affirmative.  An  endeavor  was 
made  to  have  I>an  Creedon  meet  Stift 
but  the  Australian  had  already  accept- 
ed an  engagement  for  an  athl»^tic  en- 
tertainment to  be  held  at  Xew  Orleans 
during  Mardi  Gras  week  under  the  aus- 
picis  of  'Parson"  Davies.  which  inter- 
fered \*-ith  the  propoB'Ki  match.  A  bat- 
tle l>etween  Creedon  and  the  Chicagoan 
would  prove  a  contest  of  the  cyclonic 
order,  both  men  being  accusti>m^>d  t* 
rush  matters  from  the  sound  of  th 
gong,  b^ing  little  given  to  wasting 
time  in  preliminary  fancy  sparinng.  Also 
it  may  be  said  that  with  Creedon  f')r 
an  oppon'^nt.  Stift  would  pos.s--*»s  nrrany 
advantages  whif-h  he  would  lack  with 
Ml  Coy.  th<-  l;itt!'r  handicapping  him  to

"JJmmy"  Ryan  will  play  left  field  for 
Chicago  t^iis  season.  The  (juestion  of 
who  would  fill  Thornton's  shot>>^  was  de- 
cided last  we  k  in  President  Hart's  of- 
fice. "Well.  Jimmy."  the  president 
said.  "I  w-ant  you  to  say  whether  y.>u 
are  wllMng  to  play  left  "garden  for  us 
this  year.  I  know  you  are  th*  man  for 
the  place."  Ryan  tipjHii  back  in  his 
chair,  scratched  his  head  and  smiled 
as  if  he  appreciated  the  compliment. 
"I'll  tell  you.  Jim."  he  replird.  I  want 
to  work  for  the  best  interest  of  .Mr 
Bums  ami  of  the  club.  It  it  is  the  wish 
of  the  manager  that  I  play  that  gi\r 
den,  then  I  will  gladly  try  my  hand 
at  it.  I  don't  say  that  I  canplay  the 
field,  but  I  do  say  that  I  can  try." 

."That's  the  way  I  like  to  hear  a  man 
talk."  the  head  of  a  ba.«*eball  team  said 
a,id  then  he  paid  a  high  compliment 
to  Ryan  as  a  player,  which  would  have 
caused  a  younger  man  to  purchase  a 
new  hat.  The  president  thinks  Ryan 
will  make  a  record  in  left  field  because 
he  is  not  bothered  by  th?  sun.  Ryan 
used  to  play  the  sun-garden  when  the 
old  Congress  street  grounds  were  use«i 
and  it  was  thoiv  that  he  made  his 
reputation. 

"Speaking  of  sun-gardens."  Mr.  Hart 
said.  "I  never  heard  of  such  a  thing 
until  1S93.  when  I  left  the  minor  league 
for  the  major.  Why.  no  one  ever  usd 
to  think  of  excusing  an  error  l>ecause 
of  the  sun.  The  m.r.n  then  went  after 
a  bell  just  as  hanl  when  facing  th? 
sun  as  at  other  times,  and  I  believe 
that  it  nearly  all  depends  on  how  bard 
a  player  tries  to  see  the  ball." 

"I  never  htard  of  such  a  thing 
either.  K  fore  1^90."  Ryan  said  "It  wa.- 
not  until  the  pr*?sent  gnjunds  were  us^d 
here  that  we  ever  heard  of  the  sun  field 
On  the  old  grounds,  where  half  of  the 
diam>>nd  faced  the  sun.  Ed  Williamson 
used  to  get  hit  in  the  stomach  every 
now  and  then,  but  he  kept  right  on  try- 
ing to  get  them,  and  the  n-^-wspap-irs 
never  excused  a  man  for  making  an  er- 
ror l>ecause  of  the  sun.  Xowadays  if 
a  ball  goes  up  in  the  air  between  n 
player  and  the  fun  he  may  turn  his 
back  on  the  sphere  and  no  one  finds 
any  fault  with  him." 

■We  would  have  finished  higher  up 
in  the  race  last  year  by  several  nH^tches 
if  we  had  had  a  man  in  left  who  wa= 

not  afraid  of  the  sun."  Mr.  Hart  added.

In  the  estimation  of  many  sporting 
m-n  Dave  Sullivan,  of  Boston,  will  in 
time  succeed  George  Dixon  as  feath.-r- 
weight  champion.  Sullivan  r-^cently 
fought  "Pedlar"  Palmer,  the  wonder- 
ful English  boxer,  at  the  Xatioral 
Sporting  club,  and  lost  on  the  rofeiee's 
decision  He  was  outboxed,  so  report 
has  it,  l>ut  not  outfought.  To  a  finish 
Sullivan  could  probably  stop  Palmar 
by  wearing  him  down  with  sh-^er  bull 
strength,  for  the  Boston  1h)v  Is  one 
of  the  strongest  fighters,  physically, 
for  his  weight  in  this  country.  Sulli- 
van's two  victories  last  winrer  over 
Patsy  Haley,  of  Buffalo,  were  dtie  to 
strength,  hard  hitting  and  a  wilMn.;- 
ness  to  bore  in  and  receive  punish- 
ment. Haley  was  the  better  box-='r.  but 
he  could  not  stand  the  incessant  ag- 
gressiveness of  his  opponent.  Sullivi'n 
ha.s  expresfed  a  desire  to  meet  oamir.y 
Kelly,  of  Xew  York,  another  clever 
little  fellow,  who  has  a  splendid  record 
and  championship  aspirations.  A 
matrh  between  them,  according  to  fis- 
tic judges,  would  be  a  stellar  eve.it, 
and  would  settle  beyond  peradventuie 
which  would  be  entitled  to  meet  the 
champion.  George  Dixon.  The  latter  is 
still  able  to  fight  as  low  as  118  pounds, 
according  to  his  manager.  tiT^ouike. 
and  would  probalily  welcome  a  chanc" 
lo  meet  either  Kelly  or  Sullivan  .it  a

the  featherweight  limit.

Man  bioks  at  the  pyramids  of  Egypt 
or  the  Ellffel  tower,  then  at  himself, 
and  marrels  ait  the  massive  proportions 
of  these  works  when  compared  with  the 
size  of  the  builder.  The  druidical  ants 
of  Australia  are  not  so  conceited.  They 
haven't  lime  for  conceit  when  at  work 
upon  thfir  gigantic  mounds.  Yet  there 
isn't  a  creature  upon  the  earth  which 
constructs  a  larger  vv.>rk  in  proportion 
to  its  si:!e  than  do  these  indefatigable 
tollers. 

A  traveler  who  was  new  to  the  bush 
engaged  two  bushnun  to  pilot  him

What  Two  Prisoners  Trained  Rodents 

to  Do. 

A  story  told  by  W.  R.  Ryan,  an  old 
Ohio  sheriff,  who  is  well  known  In 
Cleveland,  illustrates  the  ingenuity  of 
cVlmlnals,   says   the     New     York     Sun. 

Ry.an  was  sheriff  of  Cuyahoga  county 
for  several  years,  and  refused  a  third 
or  fourth  ncjmlnatlon  for  the  office  for 
the  ri'a.son  that  the  county  jail  in 
Cleveland  was  sj  old  and  dilapidated 
that  the  watching  of  the  seventy  or 
eighty  prisoners  wa.s  more  of  a  job  than 
he  carer!  to  keep.  While  he  was  still  in 
charge  a  notorious  criminal  named  Fos- 
ter and  an  accomplice!  were  i-onvicted 
and  sentenced  to  a  long  term  of  Impris- 
onment in  the  Ohio  penitentiary.  At 
that  time  the  jail  was  crowded  and 
Sheriff  Ryan  was  compelled  to  place 
both  convktf-d  men  in  the  same  cell. 

The  sheriff  lived  in  the  county  build- 
ing, and  on  th.*  night  following  the 
conviction  of  Foster  he  went  to  bed 
soon  after  supper.  Intending  to  get  up 
early  the  next  morning  and  take  th»- 
two  prisoners  to  the  penitentiary. 
About  midnight  he  awoke  with  a  start. 
He  was  trembling  violently  and  was 
convinced  that  trouble  was  brewing  in 
the  jail. 

"There's  something  wrong  in  the  jail." 
he  said  to  his  wife,  "and  I'll  bet  Foster 
Is  about  ready  to  lireak  out.  I'm  going 
diwn  stairs  to  look  around." 

Dressing  himself,  he  put  .a  revolver 
Into  his  pocket  an<l  noiselessly  went 
down  to  the  chief  jailer's  room  on  th*- 
firsr  floor.  Abe  .Abrams.  his  deputy,  was 
guarding  the  jail  door. 

"What's  the  matt'-r?"  asked  Abrams. 

"What's  wrong  in  the  jail?"'  returned 
the  sheriff. 

"Nothing,"  replied  Abrams.

of  the  hills  out  bey.md  Yandilla.  These 
went  down  in  the  night  behind  the 
foitsts,  and  after  wandering  aimlessly 
in  the  i.ark  until  long  after  midnight, 
they  built  a  fire  with  which  to  dispel 
the  dampness.  They  slept  until  the  sun 
was  high  up  in  the  trees.  Then.  lor)k- 
ing  uii.  the  traveler  peered  through  the 
stiagglirg   low   forest  and   exclaimed: 

"Why.  here  are  the  ruins  of  an  old 
town!" 

His  companions  simply   laughed. 

•  Can't  you  see  the  high,  broken 
vcalls  there"/"  he  demanded  somewhat 
piqued  at   their  1  \  ity. 

His  angur  stirn  d  their  mirth  still 
further. 

"Them  ain't  no  ruins,  mate;  them's 
ant   hilh." 

"Heh:  "  the  traveler  grunted,  staring 
at   the  bushnun. 

They  were  lainiliar  enough  to  the 
first  settler,  who  had  "humped  his 
swag"  and  "hookeil"  it  on  those  hot 
I'lains  for  years.  The  great  mounds 
stretched  up  far  aJ)ove  the  lower 
branches;  of  the  trees.  From  where  the 
traveler  s;it  Ihi  y  lookcil  like  broken 
columns,  others  resembled  bifurcated 
SI  ires,  and  unfinished  bastions  and 
parapets.  Little  mounds  squatted  hero 
and  theie  like  th  ■  drums  of  a  Maori 
graveyard,  broken  at  the  top  by  the 
weather  and   long  exposure. 

In  the  village  n-arest  the  camp  fire, 
there  weiv  sixty  spires  of  these  colos- 
sal hills  within  a  radius  of  200  yard.s. 
ThH  tallest  measured  forty  feet  in 
h-ight.  and  its  lias'-.  which  was  irregu- 
lai.  had  a  circumf-rtnce  of  more  than 
eighty  feet,  being  iwenty-flve  feet  long, 
and  alK)ut  fifteen  feet  thick.  The 
others  varied  in  h-  ight  and  depth.  th>- 
smallest  having  its  apex  .scarcely  f  lur 
fe.  t  aboi-e  the  ground.  The  clay  which 
formed  them  was  hard:  the  outer -sur- 
face, evtn  after  its  exposure  to  the  hot 
sun  and  h'^avy  rains,  was  firm  and  did 
not  crumble.  These  big  heaps  of  dirt 
felt   like  solid  stone  when  touched. 

The  traveler  hTd  with  difficulty  dug 
inl  I  the  side  of  en^^  of  them,  and  was 
in  the  act  of  cracking  off  the  sid- 
of  a  smaller  spire  with  a  tudgel.  wh-ii 
one  of  Ihf  bushiu'-n.  noticing  hirn 
call'-il  out:  "Say,  there,  mister.  stoiJ 
thai!" 

"Why"  "   the  cxi'Tlmcnb  r  asked. 

"If  yo  I  r<pen  that  slink-pit  then-'l!

formif      .Hid     on     the     Inquisitive   "new 
chunif  '     who     tamper     with     ant-hills, 
their  charge  quickly  desisted;  but  a  d;.- 


from  six  to  twenty  feet,  and  as  much 
as  ."100  yards  from  the  spires.  Often  the 
iligging  had  to  be  abandoned  for  fear  of 

( ontaminating  the  water.  In  one  place 
in  the  Peak  Downs  country  the  earth  hal 
been  so  perforated  with  these  ant  bores 
that  the  diggers  incontinently  fled  from 
the  horrible  elHuvia  which  the  f. xrth 
emitted.  It  seems  the  ants  had  so  per- 
ftcily  cemented  their  little  subterranean 
passages  that  they  became  round  flues; 
when  cut  they  looked  like  quills  of  ter- 
racotta drawn  through  the  earth. 

The  appearance  of  this  cobweb  c*f  ant 
tracks  in  the  ground  has  led  to  tlu. 
stalenunt  that  tho.se  areius  are  simply  a 
bed  of  ants:  but  thi.-;  is  the  reverse  of 
the  fact.  Thf-  ant  lives  only  in  thi-  hill.-?, 
and  merely  drills  out  the  earth  for 
building  material.  The  traveler  who  in- 
V.  stigated  this  subjc-t  concluded  with 
the  remark: 

"Well.  Australiti  beats  the  vvodd.  It 
has  a  white  ant  which  i-its  up  a  whole 
house,  leaving  only  the  outer  shell,  and 
a  dark  ant  that  eats  up  the  .  arth,  leav- 
ing it  also  a  men-  shell.  "

"Haven't     you      heard    the    noise    of 

saws?"  asked  Ryan. 

"Xope,  and  they  ain't  been  Avorking. 

or  I'd  heard  'em.  as  I've  been  laying 
mighty  quiet." 

"Abe,"  said  Kyan.  "I'm  certain  Foster 
and  his  pal  are  up  to  mis<  hief.  I've  been 
fc^-ling  it  in  my  bones  all  night,  and  I'm 
going  to  sneak  in  two  tiers  under  their 
cell  and  listen." 

He  opened  the  jail  door  noiselessly 
and  crept  through  the  jail  until  he  was 
under  Foster's  tell.  He  had  not  made 
the  slightest  n  »i.«e.  Of  th.at  he  was  cer- 
tain. He  breathed  regularly  and  with 
as  little  noise  as  possible,  and  he  could 
not  detect  a  .sound  whieh  indicate-d  that 
an  effort  was  being  made  to  s.aw  the 
cell  bars.  Xevertheless.  he  could  not  get 
rid  of  his  suspicion,  and  remained  tht-re 
pcrft'ctly  quiet  until  .'  o'clock.  Then  he 
went  to  Iweakfast.  called  a  def)uty.  and 
placing  the  handcuffs  and  leg  irons  on 
Foster  and  hi^'  c  jnfederate,  prepared  to 
take  them  to  Columbus  on  an  early 
train. 

"As  .soon  as  we  leave."  .said  the  sheriff 
to  Abrams.  "you  search  the  cell  and 
tel.  graph  me  the  result  at  Columbus." 

When  Columbus  was  reached,  about 
noon,  this  message  was  handed  to 
Ryan: 

Found  two  dozen  fine  file  .=aws  in  cell. 

ABRAMS. 

Ryan  handed  the  telegram  ti  the 
prisoners,  and  when  they  read  it  they 
laughed. 

"You  see,  hoys,  that  you  rray  be  pretty 
foxy,  but  you  couldn't  beat  the  old 
man,"  said  the  sheriff. 

"That's  right,"  said  Foster.  "But  what 
made  you  come  into  the  jail  last  night 
and  stay  io  long?    Who  put  you  on?"' 

"Xibody,"  answered  Ryan.  "I  just 
guessed  It.  But  how  did  you  know  I 
was  there?    Did  you  hear  me?" 

"Xot  a  sound.  You  made  a  quiet 
sneak  for  such  a  big  man,"  said  Foster's 
pal. 

"Then  how  did  you  know  I  was 
there'."'  persisted   the  sheriff. 

"Xow.  see  here.  Mr.  Ryan."'  replied 
Ff>ster,  "w.'re'  in  for  a  long  term,  and  if 
you  will  j,ut  a  good  word  in  for  us 
\\»'ll    |e|l    you    our  .seuret." 

".\gived,"  said   Ryan. 

"Well,  where  we  got  Ih-^  t^avvs  Is 
n<  itht-r  hoio  nor  there,  and  none  of  your 
businifcs,"  said  P'ostcr.  "but  %ve  knew 
.vou  wore  watehing  us.  a:id  knew  that  if 
We  wanted  to  give  you  the  slip  wq  would 
have  to  exercise  more  than  ordinary  or 
bumaii  vigilanee.  Xjw.  the  jail  is  full 
of  rat!-,  and  jail  rats,  having  been  killed 
?o  often  by  way  of  amusement  for  the 
prisoner?,   are   timid.     Rats  like  meat. 


Wo  saved  some  of  our  meat  at  supper 
every  niKht.  and  scattered  It  in  front  of 
the  cell.  The  rats  soon  rea'lzed  that 
W'^  meant  them  no  harm,  and  cfter  a 
number  of  experiments  they  would 
allow  one  of  us  to  feed  them  while  the 
other  worked.  Rats  have  a  keener 
sense  of  hearlpff  than  men.  and  If  an 
out<?ider  should  ar>pear  they  would  run. 
Well,  when  you  snt-akd  into  the  jail 
last  night  we  didn"t  hear  you,  but  the 
rats  did.  They  .s'-ampered.  and  we  quit. 
When  you  left  the  rats  returned,  but  it 
was  too  late  then,  and  the  game  was 
up."

IS.— The  little  dress-  ]      -ij  have  quite  a  simple  French  tailor 


maker  and  the  engrajred  jrirl  made  a 
t  nir  of  the  shops  yesterday.  Both  were 
happy;  They  were  shopping  for  the 
trox^seau.  The  little  dressmaker  took 
the  enifasre^i  grirl  from  counter  to  coun- 
ter and  showed  her  "woven  air"  and 
•woven  wind."  delicate  and  transpar- 
ent summer 


and

They  looked  at

ly  th.it 


jmbining  reds, 
blues  and  yellows  so  vivacious- 
nothing    short    of  a    breakfast 
food   advertisement    could    countenance 
their  colors. 

The  little  dressmaker  causeti  the  en- 
gaged girl  to  n.^tice  how  soft  and  pli- 
aMe  are' the  spring  wool  goods  for  easy 
draping,  and  how  popular  is  the  old- 
fashioned  tarlatan.  They  pulled  over 
stuffs  for  day  w^ar  and  evening  wear 
till  the     counters  ran     pink  in   twenty 


gown,  if  I  were  you,  with  a  smart  little 
open  jacket  effect,  so  as  to  vary  the 
toilet  easily  by  a  variety  of  blouses. 
Then,  of  c  )urse.  you  want  a  skirt  that 
won't  go  out  of  fashion  quickly.  No- 
body can  cut  one  in  these  lightning 
change  days:  but  the  drop  skirt  with 
full  length  overskirt  will  last  as  long 
as  anvthing.  and,  probably,  cut  over. 
Would  you  have  black  braid  trimming 
black  and  metal?  Youll  want  a 
hat  t.i  corre- 
spond: I'd  have  very  pale  I^aFrance 
roses  on  it,   with  a  large  black  bird." 


•No:  no  bird:"  the  engaged  girl  shook 
her  head  blushingly.  •Dick— I  mean 
Mr.  Spring  Hridegroom— has  made  me 
promise  not  to  wear  birds:  he  .says  fur, 
feathers  and  beads  remind  him  of  I^o, 
the  poor  Indian." 

"No  fur!  No  beads!"  The  little  dress- 
maker, aghast,  stopped  ciphering. 
'Men  who  object  to  women's  clothes 
ought  to  understand  that  men  make  the 


about  money-making  occupations." 

"Tliere  are  a  few  women  deslgrnera," 
the  little  dressmaker  conceded :  "If  wo- 
men have  an  inventive  talent  It  ought 
to  be  a  splendid  field.  If  It  weren't  for 
boy,  I'd— I  think  my.self  you'd  better 
settle  on  the  string  lolor." 

"I  think  sj,  too."  said  the  engaged 
girl,  brightening. 

••Now,  as  this  dress  Is  for  really  nice 
wear.  I  would  have  either  the  delicate 
gray  cloth  or  the  white  or  the  putty 
ctdor.  The  white'.'  Very  well.  You  art- 
tall  enough  to  stami  some  trimming  on 
your  skirt.  I  don't  recommend  trinuneii 
skirts  to  all  my  customers,  even  if 
tverybody  is  wearing  them.  Suppose 
you  have  two  tluffed-out  ruchings  of 
silk;  .set  them  in  a  deep  point  In  front 
anil  behind,  half  way  down.  Hlack 
Would  be  the  most  effective.  For  the 
waist  I  wi>uld  have  narrow  ruchlngs  ot 
blai  k,  or  of  green  if  you  prefer,  to  out- 
line a  square  y  >ke  of  the  white  cloth. 
The  rest  of  the  bodice  I  would  make  of 
this  apple-green  glace  covered  with 
string-colored  hu-e  ruflles.  You  want 
close  white  sleeves  and  a  folded  waist- 
band of  green  silk  fastened  at  the  back 
under  a  paste  buckle  at\d  banging  to 
the  ground  In  chlffon-trlmmed  sash 
ends.  It  Is  a  great  mistake  to  have 
your  sash  too  short  or  too  wide.  Long 
and  rather  narrow  ones  are  the  most 
becoming.  As  to  quantities,  with  your 
skirt  length—" 

••How  can  you  remember  any  mea- 
sures'?" 

"How  do  you  remember  where  you 
left  oft*  in  a  book'.'  I  know  all  the  mea- 
sures of  every  customer  I  ever  fitted. 
I'.ut  f  jr  that  other  calling  or  reception 
dress  you  wanted,  what  do  you  say  to 
this  soft,  powder  blue  chiffon?  It's  not 
durable  for  daylight  wear,  but  trous- 
seaux aren't  expected  to  be  indestruc- 
tible. The  prettiest  spring  dresses  in 
chiffi>n  have  cream-white  lace  applique.i 
in  ilower  patterns  half  way  from  the 
hem  to  the  waistline.  For  the  waist 
you  would  want  puffed  yoke  and 
sleeves  and  a  huge  tulle  neck  bow.  Y'ou 
don't  like  powder  blue?  Pinkish  mauve

shades  and  forty  materials  and  dripped 
with  Roman  and  Russian  reds  and 
cranberry  jelly  color.  The  little  dress- 
maker tiptoed  her  way  to  certain  rooms 
where  new  French  models  were  to  i)e 
peeped  at,  and  let  the  engaged  girl  see 
how  long  the  shoulder  seam  is  now  to 
be  rut,  so  that  the  modern,  athlete  and 
Amazon  may  give  her  muscles  the  lie 
with  an  aesthete's  sloping  .=iioulders. 
They  inspected  sleeves  severly  tight 
and  bare  of  ornament,  and  sto.>d  before 
skirts  planned  to  give  a  slim,  picket 
fence  result,  l>y  means  of  trailing 
draperies,  closely  fitted. 

They  looked  at  the  revived  Y'ak  laces, 
at  the  hugh  picture  buttons  that  come 
with  the  L>uis  styles  and  at  hundreds 
of  other  things  It  would  take  a  page  of 
type  to  mention:  th^n  the  little  dress- 
maker cried  out  in  her  enthusiasm: 

"To  think  that  I  used  to  be  little 
•Fetch-and-Carry"  in  a  black  jersey 
and  a  white  apron  watching  you  meas- 
ured and  now  I  myself  am  going  to 
make      you      all      these      bea-u-u-tiful 

gowns."  ,     *   w, 

So  they  sat  down  at  a     riund     table 
in"  a   restaurant   to     consider     samples 
and  the  little  dressmaker  sketched  and 
added  figures  and  rubbed  out  and  made 
more  sketches  on  the  corners  of  the  bill 

of   fare. 

"I  don't  believe  you  can  do  better, 
she  said,  with  brows  knit  and  pencil 
noised,  "than  to  have  your  travelling 
dress  of  this  new  royal  hluf»  camel's

bands like   blue  better   than   any  other 

The   engaged  girl   blushed   and   dim- 


fashions." 

The  engaged  girl  had  a  scrap  of  fine 
white  cloth,  and  was  holding  apple- 
green  silk  and  Mandarin  yellow  against 
it  alternately. 

"Oh,"  .she  said,  absently,  "you  mean 
thf-  great  men  dressmakers." 

••No,"  answered  the  little  drcs'^maker; 
•I  mean— the  apple-green  goes  better, 
don't  you  think?  I  mean  small  men 
dressmakers,  iH>or  men  dressmakers, 
with  no  more  money  than  I  have  to 
carry  out  their  ideas.  Do  you  know, 
it  s  the  rarest  thing  for  a  fashion  to  be 
invented  by  a  woman?" 

'  But,"  objected  the  engaged  girl. 
pu<'kering  a  bit  of  black  silk  and  laying 
it  beside  the  white  and  apple-green,  "I 
thought  that  actresses—" 

"Not  a  bit  of  it."  said  the  IHtle  dress- 
maker. "'Men  in  Paris  whom  nobody 
ever  heard  of  spend  their  slack  time  of 
the  year  thinking  out  novelties.  They 
take  their  fa.shions  to  the  great  houses, 
thf  most  striking  ones  are  bought— for 
a  few  francs  often  and  a  'mercl,  mon- 
sieur,' for  these  small  men  dressmakers 
live  from  hand  to  mouth— and  there  you 
have  a  style.  Models  of  these  models 
are  sent  to  America;  women  dress- 
makers copy  and  adapt:  other  women 
like,  dislike,  wear.  Probably  every 
novelty  we  have  looked  at  this  morning 
was  a  man's  fashion." 

The  engaged  girl  was  comparing  small 
pieces  of  lace  critically.  "It  does  seem 
queer,"  she  admitted  without  much 
show  of  interest.  "Anybody  would  sup- 
pose, when  women  spend  so  much  time 
on  dre.ss,  they  wouM  originate  their 
own  fashions.  There's  so  much  talk  now 


But  here  the  engaged  girl  said  she 
mustn't  get  too  tired,  because  her  even« 
ings  belonged  to  "Dick"  more  than  to 
idres.st>s.  So  the  little  dressmaker 
swept  the  samples  into  her  shopping 
bag  and  took  the  girl  home  with  her 
to  try  on  things  bought  on  a  previous 
expedition.  The  dres.smaker's  boy,  aged 
,3.  looked  up  at  the  slim  young  figure  in 
the  beautiful  half  finished  bridal  gown 
and  said  gravely:

whip  you!"  KLLEN   OSBORN.

Whatever  else  the  my.sterlous  future 
may  produce  in  the  way  of  spring  fash- 
ions it  is  already  evident  )that  the  prin- 
cess stylo  of  gown  will  stand  out  as  one 
of  the  leading  fciiiures  i>f  summer  dn  ss. 
It  .somt times  promotes  economy  in  dress 
to  know  beforehand  what  is  to  be  worn, 
and  certainly  v.e  can  pin  our  summer 
faith  to  a  revised  and  up-to-dajte  prir>- 
ccss,  which  will  bring  out  the  lines  of  a 
slender  figure  to  iicrfection,  says  tht  N.-w 
York  Sun. 

It  is  the  slim  woman  who  will  find  her- 
self in  the  height  of  fashion  in  this  sort 

of  gown.  The  shoulders  'are  cut  long,  the 
slieves  very  close,  with  very  liticle  full- 
ness at  the  top  and  the  hips  are  com- 
pressed as  muili  as  i)ossil)le,  t(»  give  the 
loiiig,  slender,  sylph-like  figure  prescribed 
l)y  fashion.  The  new  styles  in  petti- 
coats and  unde: garments  show  this  ten- 
dency to  reduce  the  apparent  size  below 
{.he  waist,  ami  anything  which  can  as- 
sist in  produiinj.;  this  sheath-like  effect  is 
the  thing  to  wear.  The  latest  corset  fits 
tightly  over  the  hips,  and  to  prevent  any 
e.xtra  fullness  tiieie  is  a  new  inven'iion  in 
the  form  of  a  corset  skirt,  which  is  corset 
and  circular  skirt  cut  all  in  one  to  til 
pcMfcctly  smooth  (jver  the  hips.  The 
lower  part  of  this  skirt,  from  the  knc^ 
down,  is  a  circul.tr  tlounce,  which  gives 
the  necessary  fullness  ait  the  bottom. 

The  skirts  of  .ill  the  new  gowns  which 
are  not  princes.s  are  almost  moulded  to 
the  figure  from  the  waist  to  the  knee: 
bodices  are  fitted  closely  to  the  figure, 
with  possibly  a  little  fullness  in  from; 
and  the  latest  jackets  are  what  may  !)e 
termed  tight  fit  ing,  as  very  little  of  the 
loose  effect  remains,  and  this  is  direcnly 
in  front.  Elongation  is  to  be  the  fad  of 
fashion  for  the  -oming  season,  if  tenden- 
cies are  any  evidence,  and  we  shall  soon 
be  able  to  contrast  our  slender  appear- 
ance with  the  distended  sleeves  and 
skirts  of  three  years  ago,  and  try  to 
solve  (the  problem  of  preference  as  ap- 
plied to  extremes  in  dress. 

The  princess  gown  will  admit  of  many 
variations  in  tiimming,  and  one  of  the 
prettitst  models  opens  at  either  side  over 
panels  of  contrasting  material.  Some  are 
bloused  a  little  at  the  belit,  and  perfect 
fitting  should  be  the  special  feature  of 
every  gown  or  it  cannot  be  an  entire 
success.  The  old  but  very  rational  ad- 
vice to  cultivate  a  back  if  you  would 
have  a  stylish  air  about  you  can  be  ac- 
cepi:ed  with  a  new  significance  now  that 
the  lines  of  tht  figure  are  to  be  defined 
so  clearly,  and  it  behooves  every  woman 
to  practice  the  art  of  standing  in  a  cor- 
rect position.  A  good  back  is  an  import- 
ant feature  of  that  coveted,  indescribable 
something  calleJ  style,  and  you  may  be 
blessed  with  untold  wealth  and  as  beau- 
tiful as  a  goddt.ss  in  the  face,  but  if  you 
miss  this  one  element  of  nineteenth  cen- 
tury success  in  fashion  you  lose  the  en-- 
viable  point  to  be  gained  in  ar>  up-to- 
date  appearanc*;. 

A  BLUE  CLOTH  MODEL. 

One  new  skirt  model  in  blue  cloth  has  a 
yoke  around  the  hips  not  more  than  nine 
inches  wide,  where  it  points  down  a 
little  in  front  a  ad  at  the  back.  This  is 
turned  in  on  the  edge  and  stitched  over 
on  the  skirt,  which  is  cut  to  fit  with.)Ut 
any  fullness,  except  directly  in  the  back, 
where  two  plaits  meeting  in  the  center 
dispose  of  the  extra  width  This  yoke  is 
fitted  as  carefully  as  if  it  were  a  bodice, 
and  is  quite  as  clo.-^o  and  plain  at  the 
back  as  in  the  front.  Rows  of  braid 
trim  either  side  of  the  front  breadth  and 
outline  the  yoke  all  around. 

Our  spring  gowns  are  to  l)e  decorated 
very  lavishly,  tjo,  particularly  in  all  the 
ways  which  can  be  accomplished  with  a 
needle  in  dainty  handwork.  With  all 
the  pretty  tucking,  cording,  shirring  and 
embroidery  done  by  hand,  and  the  pretty 
contrasts  employed  to  give  the  gown  a 
striking  effect  at  a  distance,  dressmaking 
has  become  a  high  art,  which  seemd 
likely  to  develop  still  greater  possibilities. 
The  guimpe  style  of  gown,  so  much  worn 
this  winter,  will  fiourish  in  the  most 
fascinating  guif;e  in  the  summer  fashions 
if  rumor  is  correct,  and  with  skirts  open- 
ing at  the  sides  over  panels  of  a 
trasting  material  which  matches 
yoke  and  sleeves  there  will  be  the 
"si on  of  two  gotvns  worn  together, 
of  the  contrasts  used  for  yokes

The  sleeve  which  is  literally  tight 
fitting  without  any  puff  at  all  at  the 
top  appears  ia  some  of  the  latest 
gowns.  It  gathers  just  a  little  over  thf

the  little  epaulette  partially  compen-

Another  conspicuous  if  not  novel  fea- 
ture of  the  ne^v  gowns  made  for  those 
who  are  fortunate  enough  to  find  their 
way  South  at  this  time  of  the  year  is 
the  necktie  or  huge  bows  with  frilled 
or  jabot  ends.  They  are  made  of  silk, 
lace,  tulle  and  chillon,  and  are  an  in- 
s.^parable  part  of  every  costume  from 
silk  velvet  to  the  daintiest  gauze. 

One  of  the  new  gowns  for  spring  is 
of  violet  cloth  made  with  the  close-fit- 
ting bodice  and  skirt  to  give  the  slen 
der  effect.  The  upper  part  of  the  bodice 
is  of  mauve  satin,  covered  with  a  lat- 
tice of  black  \elv.t  ribbon  dotted  with 
small  gold  buttons.  The  lower  skirl  iS 
a  circular  flounce  trimmed  with  velvet 
put  on  in  poin  ,s  and  studded  with  but- 
tons. A  belt  of  black  velvet  with  a  gold 
buckle  -ncircles  the  waist,  and  the 
jaunty  little  cape  of  cloth  has  a  vel- 
vet yoke,  black  feather  trimming  on  the 
e.lge  and  feather  tips  around  the  Medici 
collar.  Another  gown  in  princess  style

DRRSSY     FRENCH     MODELS. 
Some  pretty   ideas   for   much   simpler 
c.xstumes    ma>-    be    suggested    by      the 
dressy  French  m«>dels  shown,  which  are 
s.'t   forth   by    'oreign   fashion   l>ooks'  as 
trustworthy    modes    for    our      summer 
gowns.    The  first  is  of  yellow  satin,  with 
a  deep  floumv  of  yellow  chiffon,  headed 
with  Louis  X\'l  bows  of  black  net  and 
jet.     The  under  bodice  is  of  chiffon,  and 
the  odd-shapel  bolero  of  satin  is  trim 
med    with    bouillons    of    chiflfon    edgf-d 
with  black   satin   ribbon.     Rows  of  rlb- 
l>on   also  trim  the 
fon,    well    coviTed 
plifiue,    over    whit 


tlouiK'e.  While  chif- 
with  black  ]iu>'  ap- 
.    taffeta,    forms    the 


next  costume,  and  the  sleeves  and  yoke 
are  of  puffed  chiffon.  Mauve  silk  tulle 
Imiws  a-re  the  only  touch  of  color.  An- 
other striking  gown  is  of  white  cloth, 
trimmed  with  black  silk  ruchlng  in  the 
skirt  and  iHxllce,  which  is  of  pale  green 
silk  covered  with  cream  lace.  Two  la?e 
frills  fall  across  the  front  and  the  lace 
sash  is  finished  with  chiffon  ruffles.  A 
daintier  gown  still  Is  made  of  pink  chif- 
fon, with  tucked  white  satin  yoke  and 
sleeves.  The  bodice  is  puffed;  the  skirt 
Is  shirred  with  puffs  around  the  hips 
and  again  at  the  knee.  'The  collar  of 
pink  velvet  is  embroidered  with  silver 
mid  jet  sequins  and  edged  with  tiny 
puffings  of   chiffon. 

Boleio  .>ffe<'ts  In  various  odd  shapes 
are  very  much  In  evidence  on  the  new 
gt>wns.  Chiffon  waistB  trimmed  with 
Jvt  bands  in  the  form  of  a  triple  bolero 
are  very  pretty,  and  this  mode  is  also 
used  for  deoollet''  waists.  One  model  of 
this  sort  in  pink  chiffon  is  made  es- 
pecially striking  by  a  dog  collar  of  jet. 
from  which  braces  extend  over  the 
shoulder  to  the  edge  of  the  short  puffed 
sleeve,  which  is  completed  with  a  band 
of  the  same  Jet.  Shru-t  plaited  boleros, 
opening  in  front  with  revers  and  com- 
pleted with  eiiaulettes  of  some  con- 
trasting color,  are  very  new  and  eff'-c- 
tive.  It  is  a  useful  style  for  using  up 
odd  bits  of  material,  since  there  mu.st 
be  some  contrast  between  the  bolero 
and  the  bodice  underneath,  to  bring 
out  the  effect.  Let  the  bolero  and 
sleeves  match  the  skirt,  of  some  fine 
wool  'material,  and  make  the  l>odlce 
of  silk  or  satin.  Cover  the  part  below 
the  bolero,  to  the  belt,  with  lace,  and 
tuck  the  portion  above,  which  forms 
the   vest,   betvvt>en   the   revers. 

Yokes  are  a.s  popular  as  evf  r,  and  wiil 
continue  to  hold  their  own  through  the 
coming  season.  The  i)ndice  with  a  yoke 
has  a  youthful  appearance  which  is 
very  fetching,  and  quite  enough  to 
recommend  it  to  any  woman's  favor. 
Something  novel  in  material  for  the 
yoke  is  the  |>roblem  now.  A  heavy  lace 
over  satin  is  perhaps  the  m<jst  com- 
mon, but  you  can  change  its  appear- 
ance entirely  by  outlining  some  of  the 
flowers  in  the  i>attern  with  white  satin 
baby  ribbon  gathered  on  one  edge.  It 
requires  a  second  look  to  know  what  the 
material  is  when  the  ribbon  is  added. 
Ribbon  gathtred  and  ribbon  plain  rre 
very  much  used  for  trimming  our  sum- 
mer gowns.  Colored  grenadines  and 
black  nets  made  up  for  wear  in  the 
South  during  the  early  spring  show- 
many  ruflHes  edged  with  one,  two,  or 
three  rows  of  ribbon.  One  mod>l  m 
pale  green  and  white  grenadine  is  ruf- 
fled to  the  knee,  each  ruffle  being  edged 
with  half-inch  white  satin  ribbon.  This 
gathered  on  one  edge  forms  a  coil  de- 
sign in  the  front  of  the  full  bodice,  and 
the  small  round  yoke  is  of  lace  over 
fiatin.  Both  black  satin  and  velvet  rib- 
bon are  pretty  in  the  black  net  dres.^s 
which  are  trimmed  with  ruffles  galore. 
One  of  thpse  in  microbe  net  has  five 
ruffles  about  five  inches  wide  edgtd  with 
black  satin  ribbon  overlapping  each 
other  in  front  and  rounding  up  at  the 
back  where  they  separate  to  cover  a 
much  wider  space.  The  yoke  is  of  yel- 
low velvet  embroidered  with  jet. 
MANY  LACE  GOWNS,  ft 
Lace  gowns  are  to  be  very  mucn  worn, 
and  black  Chantilly,  with  white  chiffon 
underneath  over  a  white  taffeta  silk 
lining,  is  very  charming.  Tulle  is  used 
In  combination  with  the  lace  for  sleeves 
shirred  into  puffs,  and  for  little  ruches 
to  trim  the  edge  of  the  skirt  and  the 
bodice.  The  only  bit  of  color  is  intro- 
duced at  the  waist  with  a  belt  and  sash 
ends  of  cerise,  green  or  violet  satin  rib- 
bon. Bengalines  are  vei^  much  used 
for  every  sort  of  dressy  gown.  Some  of 
the  new  designs  are  figured,  and  the 
chiffon  is  used  in  combination  with  this, 
as  it  is  with  every  other  material.  It 
Is  pretty  for  the  long  tran.sparent 
sleeves,  and  should  match  the  bengaline 
color. 

Pretty  lingerie  is  always  fascinating 
to  the  woman  with  refined  taste  and 
that  indefinable  quality  of  daintiness 
about  her  which  has  a  subtle  charm  of 
Its  own;  and  to  deny  herself  the  at- 
tractive things  in  underwear  is  an  act 
of  self-sacrifice  that  never  can  be  fully 
appreciated  by  those  who  are  not  lib- 
erally endowed  with  this  charming  and 
very  feminine  characteristic. 

Certainly  the  new  designs  brought  out 
In  the  advance  supply  of  novelties  for 
spring  are  enough  to  make  almost  any 
woman  forget  every  resolution  she  has 
ever  made  in  the  interests  of  economy 
and  provident  living,  and  all  the  reform 
undergarments  which  emancipated  wo- 
men can  invent  will  never  gather  popu- 
larity enough  to  oust  the  dainty  things 
that  so  many  women  love  to  wear.  As 
usual  in  this  department,  there  are 
things  to  suit  every  purse  and  every 
fancy:  but  the  one  new  point  that 
shows  a  tendency  in  fashion  Is  in  the 
skirts,  which  are  fitted  very  closely  over 
the  hips  and  generously  flounced  at  the 
bottom.  The  ruffles  round  down  In 
front  and  spread  much  higher  a.t  the 
back,  where  extra  ones  aire  added  to  fill 
in  the  space.  For  example,  four  or  five 
ruffles  will  extend  all  around,  the  upper 
one  rising  to  complete  the  apron  effect. 
In  some  of  the  new  silk  skirts  these 
ruffles  are  finished  simply  Avith  a  French 
hem,  which  is  made  by  turning  the  edge 
up  on  the  right  side  in  a  hem  three- 
quarters  of  an  inch  wide  and  stitching  it 
on  the  machine.  The  only  troublesome 
part  of  this  simple  finish  is  reversing 
the  seams  for  the  width  desired  In  the 
hem. 

White  lawn  skirts  are  also  trimmed 
in  this  apron  fashion,  to  suit  the  scheme 
of  slenderness  in  appearance,  which 
seems  to  be  the  one  aim  in  all  the  modes 
in  prospect.  The  extra  ruffler  at  the 
back  help  to  give  the  graceful  flare  to 
the  dress  skirt  just  where  it  is  needed 
to  produce  a  pretty  outline  to  the 
figure. 

The  new  nightgowns  are  good  rivals 
to  the  tea  gowns  as  reg^ards  elaborate 
decoration  and  general  extravagance, 
for  there  seems  to  be  no  limit  to  the 
amount  of  flufflness  and  expense  given 
to  some  of  these  ornate  confections, 
which  should  have  a  more  aesthetic 
name.  The  prettiest  of  these  garments 
are  made  of  fine  nainsook,  like  ail  the 
daintiest  underclothing,  and  the  skirt 
part  is. much  fuller  than  the  regulation 
nightgown  for  ordinary  wear.  The  full- 
ness is  gathered  into  a  belt  of  embroid- 
ered or  lace  in.sertion.  through  which 
ribbon  is  run.  and  the  bottom  is  finished 
ill  a  broad  hem  with  a  tiny  beading  of 
embroidery.  This  little  beading  is  a 
feature  of  all  the  fine  underwear,  and  is 
used  to  finish  all  the  hems  and  seams, 
even  around  the  armhole.  The  Maists 
of  the  nightgowns  are  variously  made 
with  blouse  effect,  striped  across  witll 
in.sertion,  a  little  low  in  the  neck,  with 
a  lace-edged  frill  for  a  finish  and  rosette 
bows  of  satin  ribbon  on  the  shoulders. 
Ribbon  bows  are  a  conspicuous  element 
in  the  finish  of  all  the  new  gowns,  what- 
ever the  trimming  may  be,  and  none  is 
complete  without  the  sa.sh  at  the  waist 
and  bows  on  the  sleeves  and  .shoulders. 
MARIE  ANTOINETTE  FICHU. 
One  pretty  style  has  a  Marie  Antoin- 
ette fichu  of  the  fine  nainsook  made 
with  a  wide  insertion  and  edging  of 
Florentine  lace.  This  forms  a  round 
collar  effect  in  the  back  and  points 
down  to  the  waist  in  front,  w  hii  h  is 
low  at  the  neck,  finished  across  above 
(he  bust  with  a  band  of  the  lace  in- 
sertion. The  fichu  is  wide  ami  full 
enough  to  fasten  in  front  with  a  fancy 
pin.  Another  variety  of  gown  is 
trimmed  with  embroidery  in  the  form 
nf  a  bolero,  and  still  another  is  a  sort 
of  blouse  w  ith  a  surplice  front  f;>steiied 
at  one  side  with  bows  of  white  satin 
ribbon.  Sleeves  are  made  long,  elbow- 
length,  and  short,  falling  in  two  ac- 
crudion-plaited,  lace-trimmed  frills  to 
the  elbow-  over  a  close-fitting  cap  sleeve 
underneath.      Elbow  sleeves  arc  striped 


across  or  diagonally  with  lace  insertion, 
and  like  the  long  ones  are  finished  with 
a  lace  frill  and  a  bow  of  ribbon.  Puff- 
ing 1b  revived  again  for  trimming,  and 
used  In  alternation  with  lace  and  em- 
broidered Insertions.  Fine  embroidery 
is  very  popular,  too,  for  trlmmmg,  and 
there  are  also  the  usual  variety  In  Flor- 
entine lace,  which  Is  very  durable. 
Platte  Valenciennes,  Cluny  and  torchon 
laces. 

The  cor.set  chemise  is  the  garment 
that  is  attracting  most  attention  just 
at  present,  and  in  its  most  elegant  and 
extravagant  perfection  it  has  an  ac- 
cordion plaited,  lace-trimmed  skirt  of 
finest  lawn;  a  dainty  little  full  bodic-, 
fastened  on  the  shouders  with  straits 
and  bows  of  ribbon;  a  ribbon  sash  with 
a  huge  bow  directly  In  front,  and  an 
lndea<Tibable  little  lace-frilled  cape, 
which  resembles  a  full  bolero.  This 
is  a  sort  of  substitute  for  an  elegant 
wrapp<'r,  and  not  at  all  a  chemise  In 
the  old-fashioned  sense  of  the  word. 
But  there  are  other  corset  chemises, 
which  are  quite  useful  and  altogether 
attractive  as  well.  They  are  similar  to 
yet  an  improvement  on  the  empire 
(hemise,  which  has  been  worn  .so  long. 
The  belt  is  arranged  at  the  waist  line; 
the  waist  above  is  striped  across  with 
Insertion  and  tucks,  and  a  frill  finiah'-s 
the  neck  and  armholes.  Th  skl.t  por- 
tion is  trimmed  on  the  Itottom  to  give 
it  the  effect  of  a  petticoat,  and  gathers 
a  little  Into  the  belt  at  the  back,  whic  h 
is  laid  in  fine  tucks  down  (the  center, 
while  the  front  has  a  blouse  effect. 
This  garment  is  a  corset  cover,  a  che- 
mise, and  a  petticoat  all  In  one.  which 
is  recomniendaiiftn  enough  aside  frf)m 
Its  attractive  appearance.  Draw"''rs  are 
still  made  wide,  with  a  lace-trimm^^il 
flounce  in  varying  widths  for  the  fin- 
ish. 

The  princess  slip  is  another  special- 
ty in  the  underwear  department,  and  it 
is  really  a  dress  for  wearing  under- 
neath thin  summer  gowns.  It  is  made 
of  taffeta  silk,  with  pinked  ruffles 
around  the  b(jttom,  or  of  fine  white 
lawn  or  batiste,  with  lace-trimmed 
ruffles  to  the  knee.  The  bodice,  to 
which  the  skirt  is  attached  with  a  belt, 
is  low-  cut,  fulled  a  little  like  ^a  baby 
waist  antl  trimmed  around  the  arm- 
holes,  as  it  is  at  the  neck,  with  narrow- 
lace.  One  slip  of  this  sort  can  serve  its 
purpose  with  several  gowns,  so  it  need 
not  be  a  great  extravagance. 

Among  other  pretty  things  in  lingerie 
is  the  house  jacket — tea  jacket  or 
breakfast  sacque,  whatever  you  nriy 
choose  to  call  it — and  it  is  prettier  than 
ever  this  season  and  more  varied  in 
style.  Nun's  veiling,  silk,  fine  nainsook, 
lawn  and  French  flannel  are  the  ma- 
terials employed.  Nun's  veiling  in  pale 
blue  silk,  plaited,  makes  a  pretty 
sacque.  The  plaits  meet  in  the  middle 
of  the  back,  where  they  fall  a  little  be- 
low the  ribbon  belt,  which  fastens  at 
either  side  with  a  bow.  The  front, 
which  is  all  plaits,  is  several  inches 
longer  than  th«  l)ack  and  hangs  loose 
from  the  shoulders.  Around  the  shoul- 
der is  a  fichu  of  white  chiffon  with  \vid'». 
very  creamy  lace  on  the  edge,  which 
falls  in  points  to  the  hem  in  front.  Somr- 
of  these  jackets  have  a  blouse  front  and 
fit  in  at  the  sides;  others  hang  loose 
from  a  yoke,  which  is  striped  with  in- 
sertion. The  daintiest  of  all  is  a 
sacque  of  fine  white  lawn,  striped  all 
over,  sleeves  and  all.  with  lace  insertion 
and  finished  with  a  jabot  in  front.  The 
sleeves  are  full  and  straight,  in  a  sort 
of  cape  fa.shion.  which  is  especially 
pretty  for  warm  weather.

ProfeMor  Mun- 
yon, •'  have  es- 
tablished the 
fact  that  there 
ar«  specltica 
for  certain  dis- 
eases which 
work  with  all 
the  precision 
of  natural  lawR. 
Where  the 
chemical  rela-

L  k  n  o  w  n  there 
6an  be  no  failure.  Where  such  chemical 
relations  are  not  known  tJiere  can  b« 
nothing  but  guesswork.  All  the  Mun- 
yon remedies  are  baaed  upon  sclentifio 
knowledge  based  upon  systematic  inves- 
tigation and  experiment. 

Lawrenc?  O.  Ryan,  eighty  years  of  age, 
llvinp-  at  2.'>04  Fifteenth  Avenue,  -dlnne- 
apolis,  Minn.,  sayft:  "I  was  trrjub  ed 
with  Rheumatism  for  ten  years.  I  tried 
numerous  Remedies,  but  was  unable  to 
secure  any  relief.  My  case  flni.lly  be- 
came so  bad  that  I  wma  unable  to  use 
my  hands  and  feet.  At  this  time  I  heard 
of  Muriyon.s  Rheumatism  Cure,  but  ha^ 
no  faith  v^-hatever  in  it.  I  was  Induced, 
however,  to  buy  a  bottle,  and,  found 
after  using  half  of  this  iKJttle,  that  I 
had  obtained  a  cure  at  last.  I  am  now 
able  to  walk  around  and  see  my  chil- 
dren—something I  had  been  unable  to  do 
for   the   past  si  ven   years." 

Mr.  Jo.seph  Roliting,  516  Collebe  Ave- 
nue. Milwaukt-e.  Wis.,  says:  "  Professor 
Munyon's  new  system  of  treatment  has 
proven  In  my  ca-se  that  it  is  a  Uoon  to 
suffering  humanity.  For  a  number  of 
years  1  was  afflicted  with  malaria,  dys- 
pepsia, and  rheumatism,  which  baffled 
the  skill  of  doctors  and  different  treat- 
ments. After  taking  Munyon's  Reme-

fectly well."

Heretofore  10.000  times  has  been  the 
limit.  Hut  Professor  Klmer  dates,  of 
Washing^lon,  has  found  that  a  second 
microscope  can  be  used  to  view  and 
masrnify  as:aln  a  small  part  of  the 
image  produced  by  the  first  nilcroscope. 

The  eye  cannot,  of  course,  see 
th»'  image  dire^  tly.  but  it  can  see  a  re- 
production of  the  image,  and  thus 
micr».>scopy  is  carried  as  far  beyond  the 
present  art  as  it  is  itself  be.vond  the 
power  of  the  eye.  Here  is  Professor 
Gates'  own  story  of  his  discovery: 

"I    have    recently    improved    the    per- 
formance of  the  microscope  by  remov-  ' 
ing  from  the  objectives  and  oculars  all 
those   supplementary    lenses    which   are 
used     to     correct  chromatic  aberration. ! 
and  I  have  also  succeeded  in  obtaining  i 


nitlcation  than  can  be  obtained  with 
(I  twcnty-tuth-inch  oil  immersion  ob- 
jective. 

•'I  use  the  best  known  form  of  micro- 
scope and  prepare  the  slides  and  slic- 
ings  and  stainings  in  the  usual  way: 
and  focus  and  illuminate  so  as  to  get 
the  clearest  magnification  of  the  object, 
wlien  viewed  through  the  usual  ocular. 
Then  I  remove  the  outer  lens  of  the 
ocular. 

"It  can  be  shown  that  the  'virtual' 
image  produced  by  the  ocular  and  eye. 
although  it  looks  much  largor  than  the 
"real"  image,  adds  no  new  details  to  the 
real  image.  This  fact  is  known  to  many 
modern  microscopists.  I  therefore  use 
tht>  'real'  image  as  the  starting  point  for 
my  new  miiroscope. 

"I  bring  down  upon  this  'real*  image, 
or  'focal  plane."  the  objective  of  my  sec- 
ond micro.-5cope.  and  thus  magnify  the 
'rial'  image  so  as  to  exhibit  it  in  details 
which   cannot    )>e    seen    when    this    real 


on  a  lilin  is  acteil  on  by  the  light  ir- 
radiated by  these  |x)ints.  The  'two 
points'  are  .separated  by  magnillcatlon 
t  >  such  a  distanct'  that  wht  ii  the  photo- 
graph is  made  the  irradiation  will  hot 
cover  the  si)ace  betwei-n  the  points. 

"The  llrst  microscope  takes  the  light 
from  a.  very  small  object  and  spreads 
it  over  an  area  of  sensitive  plate  one 
hundred  million  times  as  great  as  the 
area  of  the  object  from  which  it  coines, 
hence  the  light  has  only  one  hundred 
millionth  of  the  intensity  with  which  it 
started  fr  )m  its  object.  The  light  is 
already  too  weak  to  photograph  with, 
if  the  best  results  are  desired.  Hut  if 
we  select  some  small  area  of  this  faint 
image  and  subject  it  to  another  mag- 
nilication  of  600  additional  diameters, 
the  light  becomes  further  weakened  un- 
til it  is  only  one  three  hundred  and 
sixty  thousandth  as  strong  as  It  was 
prtviously.  and  the  natural  eye  canmt 
see  the  second  magnification  because 
the  light  is  too  weak.  Yet  after  re- 
maining several  hours  In  a  completely 
darkened  room,  the  eye  can  see  such 
niagniticaticn  very  l^alntly. 

"When  a  sensitive  plate  is  put  in 
place  of  the  eye.  it  acts  cumulatively; 
tht  faint  light  rays  which  the  eyt>  can- 
not see  fall  hour  by  hour  upon  the 
plate,  and  slowly  accumulate  enough 
effect  to  make  a  visible  picture.       The

a  magnification  of  the  surface  details 
of  opaque  objects  by  a  new  method. 
The  old  method  consisted  of  focussing 
upon  the  upper  surface  of  the  opaque 
object  on  the  microscopic  slide  the  pri- 
jecting  beams  of  light  from  a  bull's  eye 
condenser. 

"Of  course  the  rays  under  these  cir- 
cumstances are  reflected  divergently 
and  enter  the  objective  while  diverg- 
ing, but  the  objective  has  been  made  to 
utilize  parallel  rays,  and  hence  goad 
definition  has  not  been  obtained.  By 
the  new  method  I  reflect  a  parallelized 
beam  of  light  from  the  surface  of  the 
opaque  object,  and  catch  the  refiected 
beam  with  the  microscope  so  that  it 
-shall  enter  the  instrument  parallel  to 
itT  longitudinal  axis;  the  result  is  very 
great  detail;  but  when  I  use  light  near 
the  upp.^r  end  of  the  spectrum,  I  find 
that  most  opaque  objects  are  slightly 
transparent,  and  I  have  succeeded  in 
focussing  a  sixth-inch  objective  upon 
a  musi-ie  cell  in  my  own  finger  and  can 
See  the  cell  distinctly  through  the  three 
skin  layers  and  the  sub-cutaneous  cell- 
ular tissue.  I  can  even  see  a  bone  cell 
in  my  finger  indistinctly  by  this  method. 

"I  have  demonstrated  to  a  great 
number  of  people  that  with  a  half-inch 
b  ns  in  the  .'•econd  microscope  and  a 
one-sixth  in  the  first.  I  can  get  much 
greater  detail  and  much  greater  mag- 


I  image  is  viewed   through  the  ocular  of 
j  the  first  microscope. 
;      "This  is  due  not   only   to  the  special 
;  powers  of  the  second  microscope,  but  to 
I  an  advantage  which  I  have  taken  of  a 
[  unique    fact     in    photography,  namely, 
I  that  when  two  lines,  markings  or  colors 
in  an  image  are  too  close  together,  the 
!  sensitive  plate  will  UDt  record  them  as 
I  two,    but  as  one.     Thus,   when   I  ruled 
:  two  lines  upon  a  metal  plate  very  near 
''  each  other,  the     image  of     these     lines 
j  thrown   by  a  camera  upon    a  sensitive 
:  plate   would   irradiate  in   the  film,    and 
I  the  picture  would  show  only  one  line. 
;      "The    line    of    light    falling    on     the 
1  photo-salt  in  the  film  spreads  by  mole- 
I  cular  irradiation    over    more  area  than 
i  the   actual   width   of  the   line  of   light. 
;  and   there  is  also  diffused  reflection  of 
this  line  of  light  by  the  semi-transpar- 
ent substance  of  the  film.     To  the.se  two 
causes    is    due  the  fact     that  when   the 
details  of  two  structures  are  too  close 
together     in     the    image  of    an  object, 
I  these  structures  will  photograph  as  one, 
I  and  thus  the  detail  will  be  lost. 
i      "The     line  of     demarcation     between 
'■  them     will,  in  the  film  of    the  sensitive 
jilate.  be   obliterated    by  the  irradiated 
I  and  diffused  light.     This  is  why  all  de- 
,  tails  below  a  certain  size  are  lost  in  a 
,  photomicrograph.      The    space    between 
I  two  points  that  are  toi  close  together 


structural  lines  which  in  the  image  of 
the  first  microscope  are  too  near  to- 
gether to  be  photographed  as  distinct 
objects,  are  in  the  image  of  the  second 
niicroscope  600  times  farther  apart,  and 
.so  do  not  blend  by  diffusion  and  irradia- 
tion. 

"It  is  not  very  difficult  to  distinguish 
on  a  good  photomicrograph,  made  l>y 
best  modern  methods,  lines  which  in 
the  original  object  are  not  more  than 
one  ten-thousandth  of  a  millimeter 
apart,  but  much  beyond  this  limit  the 
microscope  and  the  photo-micrograph 
refuse  to  go  because  the  images  of  these 
lines  on  the  sensitive  plate  affect  the 
photo-salts  in  the  space  between  them, 
in  consequence  of  diffusion  and  irrad- 
iation. 

"The  instrument  just  described  opens 
an  entirely  new  domain  in  several  sci- 
ences, and  it  will  require  years  of  earn- 
est work  to  go  over  the  new  fields.  The 
application  of  the  new  method  to  the 
telescope  has  been  demonstrated,  and 
when  once  the  instrument  is  completed 
it  will  produce  results  far  beyond  any 
hitherto  obtained. 

"The  new  microscope  is  already  j>rov- 
Ing  of  great  interest  to  medical  re- 
search, and  we  may  expect  to  arrive  at 
a  knowledge  of  life  which  would  have 
been  unattainable  but  for  this  discov- 
ery. ELMER  GATES." 


OlICKEST  RIN. 


Ever  Made  By  Fire  Company 

In  Response  to  Real 

Alarm. 


Copyright.  IS'jg.  by  Bacheller  Syndicate. 
A  new  fire  department  speed  record 
has  been  made  by  the  firemen  of 
Rochester,  Minn.,  which  is  likely  to 
stand  first  for  some  little  time.  It  is 
possibly  true  that  at  the  competitions 
in  which  the  fire  companies  y)art!<!i- 
patf-d  this  record  has  been  low^n-d, 
but   the  lioch'ster  flr-'mcti  made  th^^.r 


ing    an    engine    unnecessary. 

The  other  day  the  alarm  struck  in 
just  as  a  member  of  the  Rochester 
police  force  stepped  into  the  fire  house. 
The  happy  thought  struck  this  police- 
man of  timing  the  run.  and  so,  with- 
out saying  anything  to  the  iiremen. 
he  noted  the  exact  moment  when  the 
bell  sounded,  and  started  at  once  f')r 
the  scene  of  the  fire  three  blocks  dis- 
tant. Within  seventy  seconds  from 
the  time  the  policeman  looked  at  his 
watch,  the  stream  of  water  was  plav- 
ing  on  the  fire.  This  is  what  Cliief 
Boylhart  has  to  say  concerning  the 
event: 

"In  regard  to  that  run  of  our«;,  I 
should  like  to  have  it  understood  that 
it  was  not  a  trial  run  to  see  wlijit 
time  we  could  make,  but  a  stri.ght  fire 
alarm,  and  the  distance  v.as  three 
blocks,  or  a  little  more,  from  the  en-

The  astonishing  announcement  is 
new  made  that  Mexico  is  almost  with- 
out cattle.  This  surprisin.g  state  of 
affairs  is  due  to  the  tremendous  d»»- 
mand  for  Mexican  beef  that  began  al- 
most exactly  two  years  ago  and  has 
resulted  in  cutting  down  to  very  small 
numbers  the  seemingly  inexhaustible 
herds   of  Northern    Mexico. 

The  states  of  Chihuahua  and  Sonora 
alone  have  been  shipping  to  Cuba  from 
.'000  to  6000  head  of  cattle  a  month. 
That  is  why  the  Cuban  rebellion  has 
lined  the  pockets  of  the  Mexitan 
stockmen  with  gold.  It  is  singular  in- 
deed, when  one  stops  to  considir,  that 
Mexico,  which  so  <  ruelly  felt  the  imn 
hand  of  Spain  cpnturi'^s  ago,  should 
in  these  modern  days  furnish  food  in 
vast  quantities  for  the  enemies  of  the 
descendants  of  Cortez. 

During  the  past  twelve  months,  also, 
movement  of  Jive  stock  from  Mexico 
to  the  I'nited  States  has  become  un- 
usual. The  di'mand  ha.s  gone  on  un- 
abated and  still  exists.  It  is  appar- 
ent, therefore,  that  the  IVIexican  saltle- 
men  have  realized  handsomely  from 
this  product  of  their  ranches:  in 
fact,  a  majority  of  them  have  prac- 
tically  exhausted    their   herds. 

The  greater  portion  of  Mexican  live 
stock  bound  for  the  I'nited  Stales 
passes  through  El  Paso.  Texas,  and 
Xogales.  Ariz.,  to  the-  Western  mar- 
kets where  the  packing  houses  are  lo- 
cated. Kansas  City  taking  a  greai"r 
number  than  any  other  place.  Even 
in  California  there  is  a  demand  for 
Mexican  beef,  because  of  the  fact  that 
ranihmin  there  hastened  to  dispose  of 
their  herds  in  Eastern  markets,  ther<'- 
by  diminishin.g  the  supply  for  houi" 
consumption. 

The  extent  of  the  exports  can  best 
be  appreciated  when  the  figures  ai" 
considered.  During  the  last  quart  r 
of  1807,  the  total  value  of  cattle  fh;it 
came  into  the  I'nited  States  was  tllt.- 
.')22.  an<l  this,  too.  regardless  of  the 
fact  that  the  duty  upon  cattle  im- 
ported from  Mexico  is  about  $^  ;>er 
head.  All  these  <attle  are  of  low 
grade,  and  the  beef  thi^y  make  is  far 
from  being  equal  to  the  American 
pro«luct. 

The  Ksult.  whi(  li  might  ha\<"  bi  "n 
expe<-ted,  is  that  in  M<xi<  o  the  pri<  e 
of  beef  has  ristii  li>  unhe.ird  of  ijp.

A  NEW  GUITAR. 


Called  the  *»Harp-Guitar"  and 

Said  to  Posess  Great 

Advantages. 


Copyright,  1S98,  by  liacheller  Syndicate. 

A  new  stringed  instrument  has-  re- 
cently made  its  appearance,  and  is 
considered  by  those  who  have  exam- 
ined it  to  be  a  radical  improvement 
on   the   time-honoivd  guitar. 

It    is    the    harp-guitar,    and    is    really 

a  combination  of  the  two  instruments, 

one  of  ^vhich  carries  the  air,  the 
other    thii    accomiumiment. 

Its  mu.sio  resembles  that  of  t!ie  con- 
cert aut(  harp.  The  volume  of  sound 
is  nearly  double  that  of  the  guitar  Jind 
has  a  distinctive  mid  superior  iiuality. 
In  shape,  the  harii-guitar  has  the  ap- 
pearance of  the  guitars  of  the  old<'n 
time,  the  l>ody  btiii.g  ptar-shat)'.'d,  and 
with  the  usual  .sounding  board  mid 
swelled  Jack.  The  flnger  board  is 
like  that  of  the  .truiiar.  Instruments 
are  also  to  be  mad'j  with  the  regular 
guitar   body. 

The  ha'p-.guitar  has  ten  strings.  Six 
of  these  resembli!  those  on  the  guitar. 
I'^rallel  to  the  four  large  strings, 
about  a  sixteenth  of  an  inch  to  tjfie 
left  (fron;  the  bridge  toward  the  head.) 


is  a  small  or  treble  string,  which  is 
tuned  an  exact  octave  above  its  com- 
panion. 

The  manner  of  producing  chords  on 
the  haipguitar  is  the  same  as  upon 
the  guitar,  but  the  method  emp!oy'd 
in  playing  instrunrnlal  selections  or 
soil's  is  (iff  rent:  the  air  is  picked  on 
thf-  double  strings  with  the  thumb, 
while  the  accompaniment  (simple  gui- 
tar chords)  is  jdayed  on  all  oMv  r 
available  strings  with  unoccujticd  fin- 
gers and   thumb. 

The  efl'ect  of  playing  the  air  on 
double  strings  tuned  an  octave  apart 
is  felt  a.s  soon  as  heard.  This  eff'^ct 
may  be  modifled  so  that  the  ai: 
sounds  ill  clear  ii'ldc  or  bass,  as  de- 
sired. 

<.>ne  may  at  all  liiiK-.s  retain  lie- 
I  ft  ham'  in  one  position,  thai  i'oi- 
playing  t  le  ordinary  guitar  <  holds.  A.-^ 
is  Well  known,  the  guitar  is  an  iiistru- 
ni' m  mion  which  comparativ- ly  few 
'■an  play  instrumental  pieces,  <<ther 
than  excicises  vri'.ten  or  arranged  <  s- 
peclally  lor  it.      One   rarely  (if  ev^v) 


hears  popular  airs  played  upon  th-* 
guitar. 

Carl  Brown,  of  Columbus,  Ohio,  .he 
inventor  (»f  the  harp-guitar,  conceived 
the  guitar  to  be  delicient.  and  espe- 
cially s<j  for  the  use  of  amateurs,  for 
in  order  to  play  even  ordinary  exer- 
cises the  pupil  must  spend  consider- 
able time,  money  for  instruction,  and 
in  order  to  accomplish  anything  must 
become  familiar  with  the  entire  f.n- 
ger  board  and  a  discouraging  number 
of    dilllcult   chords. 

To  simplify  the  matter,  Mr.  Brown 
decided  t(>  employ  ij  larger  numlier  of 
treble  strings,  and  in  such  a.  mann':r 
that,  when  jilaying,  one  could  at  fill 
times  combine  the  ordinary  guitar 
chords   with    the   air. 

A  series  of  experiments  developed 
even  belter  results  than  had  !>een  an- 
ticipated. Within  a  couple  of  months 
the  inventor  v»as  able  to  play  over 
P)0  popular  melodies  in  various  keys, 
carrying  a  full  guitar  aceompaniment. 
Previous  to  this  he  could  play  (mly  a 
few  chords  and  a  half  dozen  simiile 
exercises,  such  as  the  "Spanish  Fun- 
dango." 

The  instrument,  'with  the  revise  J 
method  of  execution,  not  only  enables 
amateurs  to  become  quickly  proficient 
in  an  art  which  has  heretofore  taken 
much  time  and  study,  but  opens  a 
new  field  for  the  jirofessional  guitar- 
ist. If  desired,  the  method  for  inlay- 
ing may  be  reversed  and  the  instru- 
ment played  as  a  guitar.

time  is  th!t»  present  ami  the  action  of  the 
ptey  takes  place  In  Japan,  outside  the 
tre«aty  limits.  A  party  of  EnRllsh  offl- 
cers  discover  '"The  Oelaha."  who  affords 
much  amusement.  Then  a  party  of 
English  ladies  appear  on  the  scene.  The 
chief  of  the  Geichas  attracts  the  Rover- 
nor  of  the  province,  who  wishes  to 
marry  her.  and  when  he  ht>a,r3  her  sing-

pr>n>rietor  of  the  tea  house  of  his  li- 
cense, and  sells  at  public  auction  aJl  his 
goods  and  ihattels.  including  the  sing-

desires  to  buy  one.  and  the  one  he  in-

an  KngMsh  lady,  who  outbids  him.  One 
of  the  foreigners  by  disguising  her!W>lf

ends   satisfactorily. 

The  entir^:'  piVKluotion  Is  under  the 
direction  of  Mark  Smith,  representing 
Sir  William  Jardine,  Bart.,  and  in  the 
cast  are  such  favorites  as  Laura  Mill-

the  main  part  of  this  play  Mr.  FVHter 
was  Indebted  to  Sardou's  "La  Halne," 
which  was  called  "Helena"  In  an  Eng- 
lish version  owned  and  once  produceil 
by  Robert  Downing.  It  was  considered 
a  l>lt  too  "strong"  when  Mr.  and  Mrs.

that  the  peoi^e  of  New  York  have  wlth-

A    HALI.OWE'EN    IDYL. 

At  Keith's  theater,  Philadelphia,  on 
Feb.  14,  Llllfan  Burkhart  pri>duced  an 
entirely  new  and  orlglnat  fairy  play 
entitled  "The  Lady  of  the  Rowan  Tree," 
a  Hallowe'en  tdyl,  by  Grant  Stewart. 
The  Idea  was  suggested  to  Mr.  Stew- 
art by  the  Lady  of  .\venal,  in  Sir 
Walter  Scott's  novel.  "The  Monastery." 
Mysterious  light  effects  and  effective 
mu.<?ic  are  arranged  for  tne  production. 
Miss  Burkhart,  who  has  been  kept  con- 
stantly busy  slnrte  her  return  from 
Europe  early  in.  September,  is  now 
iKKiked  up  to  the  middle  of  July.  She 
deset^-es  her  success,  as  she  is  a  con- 
scientious artist  and  is,  4n  addition  to 
this,    a   wide   awake   bulness   woman. 

WILSON'S  BOOK. 
Francis  Wilson,  the  well  known 
comic  opiira  comedian,  has  followed 
the  lead  of  Joseph  Jefferson  and  writ- 
ten a  book,  which  he  calls  "The  Recol- 
lections of  a  Player,"  and  which  has 
as  yet  reached  only  that  popular  gen- 
tleman's personal  friends,  as  the  edi- 
tion Is  limited  to  125  copies.  In  it  Mr. 
Wilson  has  tohd  the  story  of  his  love 
for  and  connection  with  the  stage  from 
the  time  when  as  an  urchin  he  gathered 
together  scraps  of  iron  and  rags  to  sell 
to  the  rag  man  to  g-^t  the  money  for 
a  gallery  admission  when  Lucille  West- 
ern played  "The  French  Spy"  In  his 
native  city,  Philadelphia,  to  the  pro- 
duction of  his  latest  opera.  »  Wilson 
used  to  be  a  partner  of  James  Mackln. 
doing  black-face  songs  and  dances,  in- 
tersperssd  with  acrobatic  feats.

"THE  GEISHA." 
"The  Geisha."  which  will  be  seen  at 
the  Lyceum  Wednesday  and  Thursday 
is  the  latest  and  most  successful  light 
opera  now  in  this  country-.  Written  by 
Owen  Hall,  with  lyrics  by  Harry  Green - 
^•ank.  and  set  to  music  by  Sidney  Jones, 
the  quality  of  the  work  is  undoubted. 
These  gentlemen  created  a  goofl  im- 
pression whin  they  produced  a  "Gaiety 
Girl."  and  did  V>etter  still  in  an  "Ar- 
tist's   Model."    but   their   best    achieve- 


ADA  REHAN  AS  PEGGY. 
One  of  the  successes  of  the  New  York 
season  which  -was  not  altogether  to  be 
expected  is  Mr.  Daly's  revival  of  "The 
Country  Girl,"  with  Miss  Rehan  as 
Peggy  Pryde.  This  actress  is  the  only 
woman  on  the  stage  at  the  present 
tim;:-  who  is  equally  successful  in  the 
Shakespearian  roles  and  in  roles  call- 
ing for  girlish  abandon,  as  demanded 
by  the  more  modem  drama.  Her  Peg- 
g>'  Prj-de  is  an  undisputed  triumph  in 
a  part  which  calls  for  the  semblance 
of  more  >-outhful  attributes  than  the 
actress'  actual  age  would  allow  one  to 
believe  possible. 


ELSIE  LESLIE. 
Almost  everybody  who  remembers 
"Little  Lord  Fauntleroy"  will  recall  El- 
sie Leslie  as  one  of  the  most  charming 
of  the  little  lord's  impersonators,  but 
they  will  have  a  hard  time  to  recon- 
cile their  recollection  of  her  with  the 
fact  that  Miss  Elsie  Leslie  is  engaged 
to  play  Lydia  Languish  when  Joseph 
Jetfrrson  takes  out  "The  Rivals"  next 
season.  This  is  the  company  in  whnch 
Rose  Coghlan  was  to  have  played  Mrs. 
Malaprop,   but   Miss  Coghian   hesitates 


A    GREAT    COMPANY. 

There  is  a  theatrical  company  tour- 
ing somewhere  in  this  wicked  wnrld 
which,  acording  to  the  program  is- 
sued by  its  own  manager,  Include-s  a 
female  baritone  who  "stands  without 
a  model  in  the  history  of  composers 
or  a  parallel  among  baritone  singers," 
a  dancer  who  is  "a  veritable  whirl- 
wind in  classic  and  unique  dancing' 
and  "originally  executing  sixteen  dis- 
tinct steps."  This  dancer  is  also  "with- 
out a  peer"  and  is  besides  "a  marvel- 
ous soprano,  who  for  range,  power  and 
purity  of  voice  has  no  equal."  The 
leading  man  of  this  company  is  also 
"a  singing  musical  artist,"  one  of  the 
comedians  furnishes  "songs.  danres 
and  witty  sayings"  and  audiences  are 
advised  to  "look  out  for  a  cyclone  of 
fun"  from  the  other  who  is  described 
as  "just  a  plain  comedian."  and  the 
leading  juvenile  man  is  guaranteed  to 
be  handsome  and  to  contribute*  "songs, 
dances  and  sparkling  sketches."  This 
manager  claims  to  have  "the  only 
show  on  the  road  where  all  possess 
either  cultivated  voices  or  do  artistic 
dancing"  and  the  last  line  is  "you  can 
guess  the  rest."  This  last  line  might 
be  misleading,  for  there  are  a  great 
many  dwellers  in  cities  who 
prived  of  the  pleasure  which 
lavishly  promised.

LARGE  SALARIES. 
In  a  New  York  vaudeville 
last  week  Mj/nnie  Seligman 
grandson  of  Lester  Wallack  appeared 
in  "Comedy  and  Tragedy."  a  piec-:^ 
written  by  Gilbert  for  Mary  Anderson. 
Minnie  Seligman  has  in  no  way  in- 
1ured  the  honorable  name  she  won  <m 
"the  dramatic  stage  by  taking  pirt  in 
a  continuous  performance,  and  v.hat  is 
of  equal  importance  our  actress  now 
receives  the  highest  salary  sh^  ever 
earned.  Her  income  at  Procio: '  =  is 
$750  a  week,  with  a  guarantee  of  ten 
weeks'  engagement,  or  in  all,  $7500  for 
a  brief  season.  It  is  said  that  a  similar 
sum  was  paid  to  Clara  Morris.  Peru- 
gini  declared  that  Proctor  paid  $800  a 
week  for  his  services,  but  there  was 
possibly  some  mistake  about  that.  The 
Baroness  Blanc  received  $250  a  week, 
a  greater  salary  than  that  of  a  load- 
ing woman.  Maurice  Barrymore's  sal- 
ary in  the  drama  is  $2.50  a  week,  in 
vaudeville    twice    that    amount. 


MODJESKA'S  RETURN. 
The  return  of  Mme.  Modjeska  to  the 
New  York  stage  is  an  event  that  will 
aftord  a  great  deal  of  gratification  to 
theatergoers  who  are  in  full  sympathy 
with  the  higher  forms  of  dramatic  art. 
especially  when  interpreted  by  tills 
ikdmirable  actress,  says  a  leading 
critic.  Her  return  to  the  metropolis  is 
none  the  less  welcome  because  it  was 
unexpected.  Indeed,  when  the  imi- 
«iounccment  was  made,  at  the  conclu- 
sion of  her  engagement  at  the  Garrick 
the»ater  several  seasons  ago,  that  Mm<?. 
Modjeska  might  never  again  appear 
in  New  York,  her  numerous  admirei-s 
felt  a  sense  of  personal  loss.  The 
American  stage  can  ill  afford  to  lose 
such  a  Kt-^rling  artist  at  the  present 
time,  when  commercial  speculators  are 
producing  plays  of  the  vilest  descrip- 
tion, and  classic  drama  is  utterly  ne- 
glected, except  by  Augustin  Daly  and 
a  few  other  managers  of  the  better 
class.

Its  well  written  dialogue  is  humor-

Unlike  many  of  the  extravagances 
■  rr  musical  comedies,  there  is  a  pretty 
Hud  rr>herent  story  running  through  the 
Vlay.   which   is  shown  in  two  acts,   the 


about  aijsuming  the  wig  and  the  age

Rev.  James  H.  W.  Harris,  fully  or- 
dained minister  of  the  High  Episcopal 
church,  late  pastor  of  the  Church  of  the 
Holy  Redeemer,  San  Francisco,  will 
make  his  debut  in  vaudeville  at  one  of 
the  Proctor  houses  in  New  York  during 
the  last  week  of  Februar>',  appearing  in 
a  1-act  burlesque  by  Charles  Ross,  of 
Ross  &  Fentcm,  entitled  "Anthony  and 
Cleopatra." 

F.  F.  Proctor  has  secured  a  genuine 
treasure  in  J.  Austin  Fynes.  who  is  to 
be  general  manager  of  Proctor's  three 
theat'^rs— 'the  two  vaudeville  houses  in 
New  York  and  the  Leland  Opera  house 
in  Albany.  Mr.  Fynes  was  formerly  a 
newspaper  nan,  and  in  1893  became 
manager  of  ICeith's  Union  Square  the- 
aiter.  Fynes  was  first  to  introduce  le- 
gitimate actors  and  complete  short 
plays  into  vaudeville,  and  so  to  render 
it  feasible  for  artists  to  take  such  em- 
ployment without  loss  of  professional 
standing. 

The  hour  cemands  a  man.  The  cry 
for  the  great  American  drama  is  gen- 
erations old.  and  more  urgent  than 
ever.  The  sta«e  tr  mbles  in  the  rapids 
of  chaos.  Howling  melodrama,  im- 
probable far*e.  decrepit  comedy,  gro- 
tesque tragedy,  stagnant  burlesque, 
feeble  comic  opera  and  the  reeking 
problem  pla>  hold  high  carnival  and 
dip  into  the  public's  pfocktt,  regardless 
of  the  laws  of  compensation.  Actors 
and  managers  sacrifice  to  the  fates 
daily,  critics  plead,  or  scold  or  sneer, 
and  yet  the  great  play  does  rtot  appear.

probably  a  condition,  not  a  theory,  con- 
fronting the  progressive  Arabians 
when  he  saii.  "and  Mecca  saddons  at

ably intended  to  the  delay  of  tourists

present  trade  of  Mecca  is  carried  on 
mostly  by  camels,  a  majority  of  those

the  number  of  visiting  pilgrims  who

to  construct 
Medina  and 
arisis  not  from 
of  the  .country, 
which  are  exceedingly  favorable  for 
the  construction  of  a  railway,  but  from 
the  peculiar  rites  of  the  Hajj, 
grimage,  which  were 
time  when  railways  were  never 
dreamed  of.  It  is.  however,  thought 
probable  that  a  railway  will  be  con- 
structed from  Yembo  to  Medina,  a 
di'^tance  of  I.'IO  miles,  thus  leaving 
rest  of  the  journey  to  the  shrine 
made  on  foot.  A  considerable  profit  has 
been  made  by  English  companies  from 
African  and  Asiatic  railroads,  md  the 
securities  of  some  of  these  are  luoted 
highly  in  the  London  market,  btit  lOng- 
lish  (-apital  may  well  falter  at  the  con- 
struction of  a  railroad  the  difficulties  of 
which  are  not  mechanical  or  pecuniary* 
nor  geographical  or  fiscal,  but  based  on 
the  necessity  of  appeasing  and  snr. 
mounting  *hc  peculiar  religious  preju- 
dices of  the  Mohammedans.  Those 
who  visit  the  mosque  at  Mecca  .are  al- 
most exclusively  Mohammedans  of  the 
strict  and  unbending  orthodox  sort, 
and  the  proposition  to  go  to  the  proph- 
et s  tomb  by  "Arabian  express,  or  by 
•■Mecca   vestibule   train,"    is  highly  re- 


pugnant to  and  clearly  against  the 
recognized  teachings  of  the  Moh.\mme- 
lian  seers.  The  proposed  railroad  to 
Mecca  has  one  aisjument  in  its  favor 
which  does  not  generally  come  up  for 
consideration  in  ^  ve  projects.  It  is 
favored  as  a  prob  ible  sanitary  mea- 
sure, for  it  is  a  fa.t  well  known  that 
some  of  the  most  disastrous  and  de- 
vastating plagues  and  pestilences  which 
have  overrun  F:urope  and  threatened 
America  have  had  their  origin  in  the 
lack  of  hygienic  conditions  among  the 
hordes  of  zealous  and  excited  pilgrims 
going  or  returning  from  the  city  of 
Mecca.  The  establishment  of  a  rail- 
road to  that  city  would,  it  Is  thought, 
be  a  long  step  toward  the  establish- 
ment of  a  quarantine.

Washington.  Feb.  21.— Several  reports  j 
( ;;mt  l>y  telegraph  to  the  sitat;^  amJ 
navy  deparlnients  today  from  Hav- 
ana. All  of  the  naval  telegrams,  how- 
ever, bore  date  of  yesterday,  while  that 
from  (Jen.  Lee  to  the  state  department 
probably  was  sent  last  night  though 
marked  this  morning.  This  nif'ssajie 
dot-s  not  throw  any  light  on  the  causv- 
of  the  disaster  and  in  fact  the  oftk-M-s 
in  the  navy  department  have  al)Oiit 
rf'signid  themselves  to  the  bi?lief  that 
nothing  definite  on  this  point  can  Iv' 
known  for  several  days  to  rome.  j 

The  reason  for  this  l)elief  is  that  oper- 
ations of  the  divers  upon  the  wreck  of 
the  Maine  are  being  confined  at  pie.=!- 
ent  to  the  recovery  of  the  l)odies  <.l 
the  dead  still  entangled  in  the  wreck 
and  the  recovery  of  valuables  neither 
of  which  can  be  neglected  while  th- 
other  branch  of  the  work,  namely,  thv 
investigation  of  the  cause  of  the  dis- 
aster, may  b^>  more  properly  left  to  tht 
c«.-nduct  of  the  court  of  inquiry. 

(Un.  Leo's  dispatch  was  as  follows:

SPAIN  NOT  RESPONSIBLE. 


PRtSIDENIIAL  NOMINATIONS. 


Had  Perfect  Right  to  fortify   Havana   Large  Batch    of   Appointments   Sent 


Harbor. 

Chicago,  Feb.  21.— Tht  question  oi"  re- 
sponsibility which  might  attach  to  the 
government  of  Spain  in  case  the  M:iinc.' 
explosion  was  due  to  a  mine  in  the  har- 
bor of  Havana,  and  was  the  work  of  a 
fanatic  or  an  accident,  has  become  a 
subjtct  r,f  discussion  among  lawyers.  j 
.  International  law  is  a  matter  largely 
of  pre_edert,  and  a  mine  explosion  in  a 
fortified  harbor  in  time  of-  peact  has  no 
1  recedent.  All  unit^-  in  saying  tnat  if 
such  an  t-vent  was  by  design  it  would  ' 
be  cause  for  war.  No  less  an  authoiity 
than  Robert  T.  Lincoln,  secretary  of 
war  under  Presidents  Garfield  an1 
Arthur,  and  former  minister  to  England, 
is  positive  that  in  case  of  accident,  or  if 
the  mine  was  explodod  by  a  Spanish 
f.-natic.  Spain  would  net  be  burdened 
with  any  legal  responsibility.  ! 

Mr.  Lincoln  said:  "In  neither  case 
v.ould  the  slightest  liability  attach  to 
Spain.  Assuming  a  mine  exploded  by  a 
fanatic  or  by  accident,  that  would  be 
the  end  of  the  affair.  Giving  interna- 
tional law  the  widest  Htitude.  and 
stretching  precedents  to  their  limit,  th-r? 
would  be  no  liability  against  the  govern- 
ment of  Spain.  It  is  an  elementary 
principle  of  international  law  that  a 
government  i.-?  in  no  way  responsible  for 
the  acts  of  private  citizens.  If  it  were 
not  so  complications  would  be  arising 
continually,  and  would  keep  nations  in 
a   tuimoil   and  arbitrating  continually. 

"It  is  another  primary  principle  tl-.at 
no  nation  is  responsible  for  acciden^.^. 
As  to  the  right  of  a  nation  to  fortify 
its  harbors  as  it  sees  fit  ther*^  cannot  b?  ■  '  

the   slightest    doubt.    This   right    is   a   Mij^auj^ee  Suffers  from  Worst  Storm

DIPLOMATS  ARE  GUARDED. 


No  Truth  In  War  Rumors  Being  Sent 
Abroad. 

Washington.  Feb.  21.— Inquiry  at  lead- 
ing foreign  embassies  and  legations  to- 
day fails  to  confirm  the  rumors  that 
nrw?mbers  of  the  diplomatic  corps  have 
reached  the  conclusion  that  a  crisis  in  I 
Spanish  affairs  is  near  at  hand,  and  that 
several  of  the  foreign  representative^- 
'lavp  notified  their  governments  that  war 
is  inevital)le. 

The  rumors  mentioned  the  French  and 
British  embassies  as  having  advisi  il 
thtir  govrnrnents  to  this  effect,  but  it 
can  V-^  stat*^  positively  that  no  such  re-

on  Record. 

Milwaukee,  Wis.,  Feb.  21.— The  worst 
blizzard  on  record  for  the  time  it  pie- 
vailed.  which  started  on  Saturday,  fin:;!- 
ly  spent  its  fury  shortly  after  midnight 
when  the  snow  ceased  falling.  The  re- 
cord of  the  weather  bureau  shows  a 
fall  of  twenty-two  inches  in  two  day.^ 
while  the  best  previous  record  was  in 
ISSl  when  a  fall  of  twenty-six  inche? 
was   recorded    in   four   days. 

Street  cars  throughout  the  city  are 
running  on  time  today  on  ail  the  mam 
lines,  though  the  tracks  leading  to  the 
suburbs  still  remain  buried  and  service 
will  probably  not  be  attempted  outside 
the  city  limits  for  a  day  or  two. 

The  Wisconsin  Central  train  which 
left  for  the  north  yesterday  afternoon 
got  stuck  In  a  huge  drift  a  few  miles 
up  the  line  and  the  train  due  to  leave

"Department  of  State.  Washington. 
Feb.  21.— Lee,  Havana:  Have  called 
the  attention  of  the  navy  d  partment 
to  your  request  for  divers.  Same  will 
be  complied   with. 

The  department  believes 
scarcity  of  divers  complain-Ml  of  by 
Gen.  Lee  probably  has  already  b'en 
overcome  by  the  acrival  of  the  Baclu 
with  a  force  of  divers  from  the  North 
Atlantic  siiuadron  at  Tortu.gas  and 
with   the  ne-cessary  apparatus. 

A  dispatch  of  last  night  from  Capt. 
Sigsbee  was  is  follows:  "Navy  Depai.- 
ment.  Washington:  Nine  more  bodii 
buried  vesterday  onl.v  two  of  which 
were  identified— William  Lund  and  M. 
F.   Harris." 

Another  dispatch  was  as  follows: 
"Visited  the  hospital  today.  M'-n  very 
much  pleased  to  see  me.  Koehl?r  and 
Holtser  are  very  low.  1  have  ho;ies  of 
Holtser.  Koehler  has  a  fighting  t  hance 
onlv  Members  of  bodies  found  and 
buried  today.  No  investigation  yet  of 
the  zone  of  the  explosiim.  Need  regu- 
lar wrecking  divers  for  that.  Lee  sent 
to  Gen.  Blanco  telegram  relating  to 
expe-cted  coming  of  wrecking  ves 
sels." 

It  is  understood  here  that  by  the 
"zone  of  the  expI(Jsion  "  in  his  dispati  h. 
Caiit.  Sigsbee  nuans  that  part  of  the 
wreck  of  the  Maine  forward  of  th'- 
main  mast  thai  suff.  red  directly.  The 
reference  to  the  Lee  dispatch  to  Blaiv.o 
touches  the  formal  notificaticm  to  th  > 
Spanish  authorities  there  of  the  cominj; 
of  the  American  wrecking  vessels  to 
Havana.  ITndi-r  ordinary  circum- 
stances there  might  be  some  question 
of  the  right  of  a  foreign  wrecking  ves- 
sel to  operate  in  the  harl)or  of  Havana, 
presuming  that  the  Spanish  law 
identical  with  our  own.  But  in 
cas.'  of  an  Anvrican  vessel  like 
Maine^  the  rule  would  apply 
the    notice    is    conveyed    to

LATTIMER  SHOOTING  TRIAL. 

All  Evidence  In  for   Prosecution    and 
State  Opens. 

Wilkesbarre.  Pa..  Feb.  21.— When  the 
fourth  week  of  the  trial  of  Sheriff  Mar- 
tin and  his  deputies  began  today  the 
prosecution  had  only  two  more  wit- 
nesses to  hear  before  closing.  James 
Hannahan.  of  Lattimer.  testified  that 
he  Haid  to  Deputy  Price:  "This  is  a 
bad  busine.ss.  Sam."  "Yes,  "  replied 
Price;  "I  did  not  sho>t." 

Oo  cross-examination  witness  denied 
that  Price  had  said  to  him.  "It's  a  bad 
business,  this  shooting;  but  it  would  not 
be  prevented."  The  testimony  of  Mike 
Damschke,  the  last  witness,  was  unim- 
portant. Hon.  George  H.  Ferris  made 
the  introductory  speech  for  the  state.

the 
th  • 
thouirii 
Capt.  Gen. 
Blanco  as  a  matter  of  court-  sy  and  to 
prevent  possible  delays  through  the  in- 
terference of  some  uninstructed 
ordinates    in    the    custom    servic, 

Havana.  ,.  i.    ,.    . 

Capt  Sigsbee's  last  dispatch  Satur- 
day was  as  follows:  "Will  send  two 
wounded  from  the  hospital  hy  tne 
Bache  tomorrow.  These  are  two 
re(  ommendtd  to  go  to  Tortu.gas.  Bar- 
nett  fcaptain  of  the  Bacho)  would  re- 
iKirt  to  admiral." 

The  incoming  mail  at  the  navy  de- 
partment today  lirought  a  most  interest  - 
ing  contribution  to  the  news  of  the  day 
in  the  shape  of  an  excellent  photograph 
of  the  wreck  of  the  Maine  as  it  now  lies 
in  Havana  harbor.  This  was  forwarded 
to  the  secretary  of  the  navy  by  Lieut. 
Hood,  lately  attached  to  the  Maine.  It 
is  a  view  of  the  port  side  and  in  general 
features  resembles  the  la.st  newspaper 
cuts  of  the  wreck.  Secretary  Long  took 
it  to  the  White  House  and  gave  it  to 
the  president,  who  was  much  interested 
in  the  details  as  shown  on  the  photo- 
graph. 

The  navy  department  has  not  yet 
deter.Tiined  definitely  which  of  our 
warships  shall  replace  the  Maine  in 
Havana  harbor,  although  it  has  deter- 
mined that  as  a  matter  of  policy  an- 
other ship  must  be  .sent  there.  The 
choice  lies  between  the  Montgomery, 
now  on  her  way  from  San  Domingo  to 
Key  West,  and  the  Nashville,  gunboat 
now  at  Galveston  participatin.g  in  the 
Mardl  Gras  festivities.  If  the  latter  t.-r- 
minates  this  week,  as  is  expected,  it  is 
said  the  Nashville  proluibly  will  be  the 
ves.sel  selected  for  th*-  trip,  as  the  .Mont- 
gomery is  just  returning  from  a  cruise 
in  the  West  Indies. 

The  state  department,  in  view  of  the 

published  denial  by  Capt.  Sobral  of  the 

authenticity  of  the  interviews  accredit- 

I  ed  to  him  in   the  newspapers,   and  the 


EX-OfflCER'S  OPINION. 

Cannot  Believe   That    Maine's    Mag- 
azine Exploded. 

ICansas  VMy,  Mo.,  Feb.  21.— Gerald 
Holsinger.  of  Rosedale,  Kas.,  who  is 
said  to  have  been  a  junior  eifficer  o; 
the  battleship  Maine,  in  a  published 
interview  professes  tc  believe  the  de- 
.'^truction  of  the  American  warship  wa- 
desigr.eo. 

•'.rhe  destruction  of  the  Maine."  saii 
he.  "was  rot  accidental,  not  at  least 
as  I  can  i  guie  out  from  what  I 
knc>w  of  th."  construction  of  the  battli - 
ship,  of  the  mann(r  in  which  the  regit- 
lations  of  warships  are  carried  out. 
and  also  considering  the  reputation 
Capt.  Sigsbee  ha.s  in  naval  circles.  An- 
other thing,  twenty-five  tons  of  ammii- 
nition  compactly  stored  on  the  vessel  is 
said  to  have  be-'U  exploded.  If  ll^-it  '.^ 
true  not  a  life  would  have  been  saved. 

Mr.  Holsinger  has  witnessed  the 
naval  operations  in  the  war  between 
China  and  .lapan.  He  has  l>een  on 
board  the  Maine  and  claims  to  know

IMUSIIAL  ACTIVITY. 

Particular  Instructions  Sent  to  Coast 
Defense  Stations. 

New  York,  Feb.  21.— The  World  says: 
Nearly  100  telegrar>hic  dispatches  have 
been  sent  during  the  past  twenty-four 
hours  from  Governor's  Island,  the  army 
headquarters  of  the  department  of  the 
East,  to  various  points  of  fortification 
along  the  seabrard  from  Eastpejrt,  Me., 
to  Galveston,  Texas.  All  of  these  forti- 
fications in  which  guns  and  mortars 
have  been  mounted  aro  under  the  con- 
trol of  Gen.  Wesley  .Merritt.  commander 
of  the  department  of  the  Flast. 

Gen.  Mei-ritt  sinnit  very  little  of  the 
day  at  the  island,  his  staff  attending  to 
the  unusui.l  amount  of  telegraphic  cor- 
respondence. 

During  his  al)senee.  Col.  Barber,  id- 
jutant  general  for  the  East,  was  in 
charge.  Ci  1.  Barb 'r  refused  to  discuss 
th.'  reasons  for  th''  activity  along  the 
seaboard,  except  to  say  that  every- 
thing now  being  (bme  was  merely  the 
•  xecution  of  a  coast  defense  program 
outlined  several  months  ago.

ADLLTERATfD  FLOIR. 


It  Is  Sold  Largely  and   Is   Inwhole- 
some. 

Washington,  Feb.  21.— (Special  to  The 
Herald.)— Representatives  of  the  Min- 
nesota millers  today  gave  the  commit- 
tee on  ways  and  means  some  valuable 
information  on  the  adulteration  of 
wheat  Hour.  H.  S.  Kennedy,  of  Minne- 
apolis, presented  statistics  showing  the 
extent  to  which  adulteration  is  carried 
on  and  also  proof  that  the  mixed  fiour 
is  unwholcscmie.  The  practice  is  rapid- 
ly growing,  he  said,  a-id  as  the  demand 
for  this  l)ogus  Hour  increji.sed  cheaper 
and  more  deleterious  adulterants  will 
be  used. 

There  is  a  disposition  among  several 
members  of  the  committee  to  refer  this 
matter  to  the  agricultural  committee, 
but  this  course  will  be  opposed  by  the 
advocates  of  the  pure  Hour  bill.  The 
agricultural  committee  would  not  have 
power  to  report  a  measure  which  im- 
posed an  tax  on  adulterated  Hour,  and 
without  such  a  tax  it  is  not  believed 
the  law  would   be  effective. 

A   statement   was   made   to   the   com- 
mittee that  pure  fiour  was  shipped  from 
Duluth    to    Chicago,    adulterated 
corn   starch   and   sent   back    to 
in  the  retail  stores  of  Duluth.

Washington.  Feb.  ill.— A  privaie 
cablegram  to  the  state  dinwrtment  from 
Havana  announces  that  it  is  now  proved 
beyond  a  doubt  that  the  Maine  was 
t'lown  up  by  Spanish  agt^nta  with  dyiia- 
mitt'  or  a  tarp-.do.  The  dostruction  of 
tht  Maine,  the  cablegram  is  said  to  stat'^. 
wa?  tht'  result  .>f  a  secret  conspiracy 
among  Spaniards  in  Havana.  The  names 
of  these  conspirators  are  said  to  be 
known. 

The  refusal  of  our  authorities  to  per- 
mit Spain  to  join  in  the  investigation  of 
the  wreckage  has  caused  a  profound 
sensation  to  Havana.  A  private  dis- 
patch fr>m  Cxnsul  Oen.  I-ree  to  the  pres- 
uleiu  is  said  to  have  been  received,  ad- 
vising the  sending  of  one  or  more  ships 
t»f  war  at  once,  as  American  lives  and 
property  are  threatened.  The  auuhori- 
tles  here  are  greatly  excited,  but  decline 
to  arfirm  or  deny  the  rumor.  The  crisis 
is  brought  on  by  thf  refusal  of  the  presi- 
dent t  >  permit  Spanish  co-operation  in 
examination  of  the  Maine's  wreckage. 

The  Washington  S:ar  has  received  a 
dispatch  from  its  special  correspondent 
in  Havana.  Chirles  M.  Pepper,  confirm- 
ing the  information.  He  says  from  all 
the  circumstances  it  is  ea^y  to  show  that 
the  cause  of  the  Maine  s  destruction  was 
not  an  accident.  Opininns  here  seem  to 
be  that  negligence  on  :he  part  of  the 
Maine's  crew  could  not  have  been  re- 
sponsible for  the  wrecking  of  the  tmat. 
it  is  now  known  that  a  messenger  is  en 
his  way  to  Washington  with  the  names 
oi"  the  conspirators,  and  information 
thai  the  dynamitt-  bombs  were  manufac- 
tured in  Havana. 

The  H:ivana  police  claim  to  have  ar- 
rested those  involved  in  the  plot  to 
'.ATeck  the  Maine.  The  persons  under  ar- 
rest are  thought  to  be  the  ones  who  ex- 
ploded a  dynamite  bomb  in  the  center  of 
th^^  city  of  Havana  several  weeks  ago. 
!kfr.  Blanco  appears  to  have  l>een  sincere 
in  his  expression  of  sympathy,  but  it  is 
Maimed  that  violent  intransigentes,  who 
are  hostile  to  Blanco  and  autonomy,  are 
responsible.  This  class  showed  resent- 
ment wh-:n  the  Main'?  arrived.  The 
ultra-Spanish  class  make  little  attempt 
to  conceal   their  exultation. 

When  it  is  considered  that  the  Star  is 
an  administration  paper  and  very  con- 
servative and  that  on  this  account  it  has 
^ten  iiualifying  everything  in  opposition 
to  the  accident  theoiy,  the  sudden  change- 
of  front  is  regarded  as  important  by 
those  of  the  navy  department  who  have 
persistently  held  that  Spanish  treachery 
CO  I  se  the  destruction  of  the  Maine  and 
her  crew. 

In  view  of  the  attitude  of  the  pre=?i- 
dent  in  doing  his  utmost  to  strengthen 
the  aciident  theory,  many  members  of 
congress  ha.ve  outwardly  manifested 
the  .<amc  belief,  but  now  there  is  no 
further  pretense  of  giving  this  story 
credence.  Every  senator  and  con- 
gressman talked  with  now  admits  that 
they  have  suspected  all  along  that  in- 
vestigation would  disclose  a  Spanish 
plot.  "While  Capt.  Sigsbee  has  be.^n 
conducting  preliminary  operations  in 
the  search  for  the  dead  and  valuable 
property,  he  has  had  occasion  to  ex- 
amine the  wreckage,  and  all  indications 
confirm  the  belief  that  the  sinking  of 
the  Maine  was  the  work  of  an  enemy. 

The  convincing  statement  is  made 
that  the  president  has  decided  defi- 
nitely to  end  the  Cuban  war.  From  a 
most  reliable  source  it  is  learned  that 
President  McKinley  has  fixed  upon  a 
policy  whereby  he  hopes  to  see  the 
stricken  island  free  from  Spanish  rule 
within  one  year.  Behind  him  he  be- 
lir-ves  he  will  find  the  great  bulk  of 
the  American  p^'opl--.  Everything  will 
ri^'pend  upon  th'-  outcome  of  the  Maine 
disaster.  If  it  be  proved  to  be  an  ac- 
cident, the  administration  will  recog- 
nize the  belligerency  of  the  Cubans. 
giving  sufficient  time  for  the  excite- 
ment  of  the  pr-sent   incident  to   pass. 

Whether  the  disaster  to  the  Maine 
proves  to  be  the  result  of  an  accident 
or  of  foul  play,  the  president  cannot 
longer  resist  the  will  of  the  people. 
The  question  has  got  to  be  settled  and 
settled  in  his  administration,  and  for 
political  reasons  alone  he  would  not 
permit  the  Spaniards  again  to  conquer 
the  island. 

The  feeling  here  is  getting  down  to 
a  calm  and  deliberate  judgment  that 
the  Maine  was  blown  up  by  a  torpedo 
Whether  it  went  ofY  by  accident  or  not 
is  an  open  question  in  the  minds  of 
most  people.  The  secretary  of  the 
navy's  statement  today  was  not  so 
pronounced  in  its  expression  of  the  ac- 
cident theory  as  his  former  .statements 
have  been.  He  and  the  president,  too, 
adhere  to  the  opinion  ofTicially  ex- 
pressed that  the  explosion  was  an  a'"- 
cldent.  Any  other  view  taken  or  ex- 
pressed by  the  responsible  officials  of 
this  government  would  be  "casus  belli 
for  Spain."  Constructor  Hltchborn 
said  Saturday: 

"It  may  be  possible  to  prove  that 
the  Maine  was  not  blown  up  by  a  tor- 
pedo, but  it  will  be  impossible  to  prove 
that  it  was  blown  up  by  an  accident 
resulting  from  carelessness  of  our  own 
officers.  Nothing  short  of  a  complete 
sui>stantiation  of  the  accidental  theory 
will  ever  satisfy  the  American  people." 

Kvidence  has  been  accumulating 
rapidly  to  show  the  cause  of  the  explo- 
sion was  from  withfiut.  On"  of  the 
most  conclusive  points  is  the  testi- 
mony of  certain  eye-witnesses  that  a 
volume  of  water  was  thrown  into  the 
air  at  the  time  the  first  explosion  to"k 
place.  This  could  not  have  resulted 
from  an  internal  explosion.  The  proof 
seems  to  lie  rapidly  accumulating  thit 
a  boat  approached  the  Maine  just  be- 
fore the  explosion,  this  being  the  asser- 
tion of  several  seamen  who  survived 
the  wreck.  The  statement  that  f> 
large  ouantlty  of  cement  was  shower-d 
upon  the  deck  of  the  Maine  and  neigb,- 
boring  craft  immediately  afttr  the 
plosion,  takrn  in  connection  with 
former  construction  of  the  Maine, 
dicates  an   explosion  from   outside.

the  Maine  disaster.  As  an  old  sailor 
in  the  navy,  pstrum  was  very  bitter 
against  the  Spanish  and  loud  in  his 
praises  of  the  crew  of  the  Maine.  Har- 
rigan  agreed  with  Ostrum  In  a  general 
v.ay.  but  was  not  so  sure  as  Ostrum  that 
the  American  sailors  had  taken  all  pos- 
sible precautions  to  prevent  their  ship 
being  destroyed. 

The  controversy  grew  so  hot  that  the 
saloonkeeper  told  the  men  to  get  out 
They  went,  still  in  heated  di-scusslon

a  few  moments  the  saloonkeeper  heard

PATRIOriSV!  IHEIR  THEME. 

Chicaqo    Clergymen    Spoke   on    the 

Leading  Topics. 

Chicago,  Feb.  21. — PatriotLsm  was  In 
some  way  the  theme  of  the  many  ser- 
mons delivered  Sunday  In  Chicago  pul- 
pits, and  in  several  instances  patriotic 
societies  swelled  the  congregations  with 

their  presence.  George  Washington 
the  Cuban  war,  and  the  attitude  and 
duty  of  the  United  States  government 
therein  and  the  battleship  Maine  disas- 
ter supplied  the  topics  upon  which  les- 
sons of  the  highest  patriotism  were 
built. 

Dr.  P.  H.  Henson,  at  the  First  Bap- 
tist church,  spoke  of  "The  Woman  of 
Peace  and  the  Man  of  War."  Rev.  J 
Q.  A.  Henry,  of  the  LaSalle  Avenue 
Baptist  church  touched  upon  the  Maine 
disaster.  Rev.  R.  A.  White,  at  the 
Stewart  Avenue  lA^iversallst  church 
spoke'  on  the  De  Lome  letter,  the 
Maine  disaster  and  the  Cuban  question 
He  urged  something  to  be  done  to  stop 
the  Cuban  war.  Rev.  William  E.  Dan- 
fort  h.  at  Washington  Park  Congrega- 
tional church,  of  Evanston.  addressed 
his  congregation  on  the  subject,  "What 
Christ  Thought  and  Said  About  Disas- 
ters Like  That  of  the  Maine."  Rev.  A 
J.  Canfield,  at  St.  Paul's  church,  took 
for  his  theme,  "George  Washington." 
Large  delegations  of  the  societies  of  the 
Sons  of  the  Revolution,  Sons  of  the  Am- 
erican Revolution  and  Daughters  of  the 
American  Revolution  were  present.  Dr 
E.  G.  Hlrsch  spoke  on  the  Maine  disas-

WALLA  WALLA  ROAD  SOLD. 


Northern  Pacific  Reported    to   Have 
Bought   It. 

Walla  Walla,  Wash.,  Feb,  21.— Rumors 
of  the  sale  of  the  Walla  Walla  and 
Columbia  River  road  to  the  Northern 
Pacific  are  afloat.  OfTiclals  of  the  for« 
mer     road     have  been  in  session  here 

since  yesterday,  and  President  Rltter 
and  Secretary  Burford  tendered  their 
resignations,  which  were  accepted. 

It  has  been  common  talk  among  rail- 
way men  and  others  In  a  position  to 
know  for  several  weeks  that  the  North- 
ern Pacific  had  been  negotiating  with 
C.  B.  Wright,  of  Philadelphia,  the 
principal  stockholder  of  the  Washing- 
ton and  Columbia  River  road,  for  the 
purchase  of  the  road,  and  now  it  is 
asserted  that  the  do:!  has  been  con- 
summated. President  Tyler  would 
neither  verify  nor  deny  the  rumor. 


HEROISM  REWARDED. 
Washington,  Feb.  21.— The  department 
of  state  has  awarded  a  gold  life-saving

that   the   over-production   of  oil   In    the 
Los    Angeles    oil    field.><    at    the     present 
time  is  nearly  500  barrels  a  day. 


Tacoma,  Feb.  21.— Joseph  Ladue,  re- 
cently from  the  Northern  gold  fields, 
says:  "The  North  American  Transpor- 
tation and  Trading  company  Is  the  only 
one  now  buying  claims  In  the  Klon- 
dike. I  understand  that  they  are  act- 
ing as  agents  for  the  Rothschilds.  I 
met  Mr.  Cudahy  on  the  train  from  Chi- 
cago to  San  Francisco,  and  he  told  me 
that  they  have  just  received  $400,000  In 
drafts  which  had  been  given  In  payment 
of  claims  there.  He  said  the  company 
was  acting  as  agent  in  purchasing,  and 
I  learn  that  the  Rothischilds  are  pre- 
IMirlng  to  spend  $2,000,000  in  the  purchaw 
of  mines. 

"It  looks  a  little  as  If  the  great  Eng- 
lish l>anking  house  was  making  stupen- 
dous efforts  to  control  most  of  the  claims 
on  the  Klondike." 


FOR  THE  ALASKAN  TRADE. 
Portland,  Ore..  Feb.  21.— The  Oregon 
liailway  and  Navigation  company's 
steamer  Victorian  left  for  down  the 
river  to  Puget  Sound,  where  she  will  be 
plied  in  the  Alaskan  trade.  The  Vic- 
torian Is  one  of  the  finest  steamers  in 
Pacific  waters,  and  on  a  short  trial  trip 
ye.'^terday.  after  having  b^en  refitted, 
made  twenty  miles  an  hour.  While  the 
Victorian  is  able  to  go  to  sea,  she  was 
originally  designed  for  the  Columbia 
river  trade. 


CONTINUED  THE  TRIP. 
Seattle.  Wash.,  Feb.  21.— The  steamer 
North  Pacific,  bound  for  North  Alaska, 
which  was  abandoned  by  a  number  of 
passengers  at  Port  Townsend  on  ac- 
count of  her  alleged  unseaworthines.x, 
has  continued  her  voyage,  a  new  crew 
having  been  secured.  The  twenty-three 
passengers  who  refused  to  go  to  sea  on 
the  steamer  returned  to  this  city.  A 
member  of  the  old  crew  gives  as  the 
reason  for  the  crew's  desertion  the  bad 
quality  of  food  furnished  and  crowded 
quarters. 


HAD  ENOUGH  DOGS. 
Seattle.  Wash..  Feb.  21.— The  largest 
party  arriving  here  on  their  way  to 
Alaska  reached  here  on  the  Northern

party  is  from  Lancaster  and  other  Wis- 
consin towns  and  numbers  fifty-four. 
With  the  party  were  eighty-seven  dogs, 
which  filled  a  baggage  car.  The  steamer 
Farrallon  has  sailed  for  Alaska  with 
sixty  passengers.

WELL   EQUIPPED   PARTY. 

Tacoma,  Wash.,  Feb.  21.— Sixty-seven 
men,  comprising  the  Alaskan  Klondike 
co-operative  expedition,  have  arrived

AN  AID  TO  PHYSICIANS. 


New  Instrument   of  Great   Value   Is 
Discovered. 

New  York.  Feb.  21.— The  invention  Is 
announced  of  the  phonendoscope,  an 
instrument  of  wonderful  value  in 
studying  the  condition  of  the  internal 
organs  r)f  the  bod.v.  It  is  declared  by 
the  physicians  to  be  a  tremendous  ad- 
vance on  ttie  "Id  stethoscope.  Ry  its 
aid  the  physician  cannot  only  ascer- 
tain the  condition  of  an  organ,  but 
trace  its  shape.  It  haB  been  discovered 
with  the  phonendoscope  that  the 
stomach  assumed  a  different  form 
when  full  of  different  kinds  of  food 
and  drink.  The  rapidity  with  which 
various  kinds  of  food  and  drink  are 
digested  can  also  be  studied  accurately 
with  the  phonendoacope.  The  instru- 
ment is  the  Invention  of  Drs.  Blauchl 
and  Baiii,  oT  FrAnw.

Corn  was  strong  at  the  opening  with

GOSSIP. 
Received  over  private  wire  of  B.  E.  Baker, 
grain  and  stock  broker,  room  107  Cham- 
ber  of  Commerce  and  .".07  Board  of  Trad  . 
Chicago.  Feb.  21.— Wheat  ruled  act- 
ive and  higher  early,  due  to  continued 
buying  by  shorts,  but  when  these  were 
eliminated  from  the  market  prices  be- 
gan to  break  and  the  local  crowd  ?old 
the  July  option  freely.  Later,  owing  to 
the  fact  that  tomorrow  is  a  holiday, 
the  scalpers  bought  their  wheat  in  at 
the  close.  We  are  inclined  to  believe 
sales  of  July  wheat  on  bulges  from  now 
on  will  pay  handsomely.  Cables  cut  no 
figure  whatever  in  our  market.  The 
visible  showed  a  very  small  decreas'-. 
and  if  Leiter  hadn't  shipped  wh  at 
fiom  Chicago  it  would  have  shown  an 
ipc  rease. 

Corn  has  been  rather  weak  today 
and  shows  a  de<Mine  from  the  op^^ninsr 
price  of  %c.  The  demand  for  cash 
corn  hp.s  not  been  quite  as  active. 
There  has  been  some  .selling  out  if 
speculative  holdings.  The  visible  suj)- 
ply  showed  an  increase  of  nearly  1.50'>,- 
(m  i)us.  The  Liverpool  market  was 
higher.  V)Ut  with  our  decline  is  likely 
to  he  easier  tomorrow.  The  corn 
market  has  lost  the  support  temporar- 
ilv  of  some  pretty  gi^xl  traders.  May 
sell  a  little  lower.  Advise  buying  it 
on  any  break. 

The  oats  market  has  not  been  a  larije 
one  today.  Prices  broke  under  selling 
by  one  f>f  the  largest  houses  here. 

Provisions  have  been  fairly  active  and 
steady.     Lard   has   been   stronger     than 
anything  else,  with  an  active  general  fle- 
^iiand.     Foreigners  continu-   big   bu>>^rs. 
The  hog  market   is  strong  and   higher. 
We  are     inclined     to     look     for  a  little 
further  reaction  in  provisions,  but  think 
the  man  who  buys  them  now  will  make 
good  money.

Slumped  Heavily  In  Connection  With 
Maine  Possibilities. 

New  York.  Feb.  21. — The  stock  mar- 
ket slumped  heavily  immediately  after

sympathy  with  the  recoveries  in  Lon- 
don, but  within  five  minutes  New 
York  Central  had  fallen  3  points  and 
the  grangers  and  Northern  Pacific,  pre- 
ferred, and  Norfolk  &  Western,  i)re- 
fcrred,  a  point  or  over.  Sugar  and 
Manhattan  were  also  off  2  points.  Th- 
losses  wer;^  effected  on  comparatively 
.'•.niall  transactions,  but  tha  volume  of 
business  increased  as  the  declines  ex- 
t(  iided. 

The  slump  this  morning  is  attributed 
to  the  future  possibilities  in  connecti(m 
with  the  Maine  disaster  rather  than  to 
any  known  development  concerning 
the  cata.strophe.  Wall  street  states- 
mer.  arc  reasoning  that  the  govern- 
ment will  feel  thfjt  it  must  demand  In- 
demnity from  Siiain  on  the  ground 
that  the  responsibility  for  the  well 
being  of  the  Maine,  while  in  Havaiia 
harbor,  whatever  may  be  shown  in  the 
investigation    now    in    progress. 

The  war  of  rates  between  the  Cana- 
dian Pacific  and  trans-continental  rail- 
way lines  in  this  country  has  stress 
laid  upon  it  and  the  blizzard  in  iht 
Northwest  is  taken  into  account  for 
the  damage  it  may  do  by  interrupting 
railway  traffic. 

The  heaviest  declines  were  in  the 
local  and  industrial  specialties,  Met'o- 
polltan  Street  Railway  falling  '  point.-!, 
Manhattan  and  Consolidated  Gas  51.3. 
Sugar  :'.■%  and  I'ullman  4V2.  The  rail- 
way list  was  very  weak  an<l  declines 
exceeding  2  points  were  shown  by  the 
grangers.  New  York  Central.  Union 
Pacific,  common  and  preferred,  an<l 
Brooklyn  Rapid  Transit.  Nearly  alt 
active  stocks  lost  upwards  of  a  point. 
Th"  bond  market  shared  in  the  weak- 
ness and  showed  a  decline  of  1  to  2 
prints. 

Thirc  was  a  lull  in  the  selling  move- 
ni-^^'itl  about  11:.'?0  o'clock  and  under  a 
nipid  recovery  prices  rose  sharply.  The 
advance  in  the  stocks  that  had  been 
most  depressed  exceeded  a  point.  Busi- 
neos  became  less  animated  on  the  im 
provement.  Sales  to  noon.  253  000 
shares.  The  bond  market  movement 
was  entirely  in  sympathy  with  the 
stock  market.

KIS  SKIN  .SANDPAPER. 

Dr.   Spuryear,  of     Kushville,     came  to 

Indianapolis  today  to  consult  other  phy- 
sicians about  a  rennrkable  case  he  lias 
under  treatment,  says  the  Indianapolis 
St n tine.  His  patient,  David  McQuerry, 
a  farm?r  near  liushville,  noticed  last 
surr>.nLi  that,  as  he  wiped  perspiration 
from  his  brow  he  felt  a  sensation  as 
though  he  had  rubbed  his  forehead  with 
sandpajier,  and  it  was  discovered  that 
wlien  h?  rubbed  his  flesh  at  any  spot  on 
his  body  he  brought  forth  a  granulated 
substance  like  sand.  Somt  of  the  grains 
of  the  ■  sand'  are  half  as  large  as  grains 
of  wheat.  It  was  at  fiist  supposed  that 
th"  "sand"  was  a  granulation  of  the 
saline  dement  in  perspiration,  but  this 
theory  has  been  exploded.  On  one  ;>c- 
casion  ne  rubbed  a  teaspoonful  from  the 
end  of  Ills  thumb.  The  operation  causes 
him  pain  and  inconvenience,  but  does 
not  aff>ct  his  general  health.  It  is  the 
first  case  of  the  kind  ever  brought  to  the 
notice  of  Indianapolis  physicians,  and 
the  books  of  the  profession,  it  is  slid. 
contain  no  record  of  a  similar  case.

WAR  NOT  TO   KK  FKAUKD. 

Senator  Mason  of  Illinois  and  othei 
meml'tis  vf  congress  who  have  voiwJ 
the  stntiments  of  mllUors  of  honest, 
liatriotio  Americans  and  protested 
against  the  complacent  silence  of  the  ad- 
ministraiion  while  the  hoiTors  attendant 
on  the  war  in  Cuba  are  coniinucd.  are 
now  being  made  the  subjects  of  brutal 
epithets  and  vulgar  ridicule  by  the  news- 
papers and  politicians  who  are  for  plaoo 
at  any  piice.  They  are  largely  the  same 
newspap<3."3  which  during  the  last 
|>icsid(.ntial  carrj^aigr.  blackguard.^d 
millions  of  American  voters  who  enter- 
tained different  views  on  the  financial 
question.  They  could  not  then  find 
language  too  brutal  to  apply  to  those 
who  claimed  the  right  of  American  citi- 
zens to  think  and  vitt-  as  they  pleased. 
and  now  they  have  turned  their  mud 
batteries  upon  a  large  section  of  the 
American  publi-j  who  l)elieve  that  na- 
tional honor  and  humane  duty  dem.and 
that  the  United  States  government 
siiould  intervene  at  once  and  put  an  end 
to  the-  Cuban  war  by  compelling  Spain 
to  grant  complete  independence  to  th? 
patriots  who  have  so  bravely  fought  for 
their  liberty. 

War  is  not  proposed  by  any  sensible 
student  of  affairs.  As  the  Chicago 
Journal  says,  the  danger  e.xists  only  in 
the  minds  of  the  opponc-nts  of  action. 
No  one  with  an  elementary  understand- 
ing of  Spain's  position  and  erf  dit  believes 
that  this  li/ankrupt  nation,  an  outcast  on 
the  continent  of  Europe,  and  saved  frorrt 
destruction  only  by  ti.e  necessity  for 
maintaining  the  b^lanft  of  power  intact 
— no  one,  we  say,  should  fear  for  an  in- 
stant that  the  shrivelf-d  pouer  of  Spain 
could  be  electtifisd  into  a  living  challenge' 
to  the  United  States.  Her  credit  is  gone, 
the  autih-rity  of  her  government,  sapped 
by  public  infamy,  awaits  but  the  coming 
of  the  man  around  the  corner  to  crumble 
to  dust.  Hi.r  Cuban  bonds,  based  upon 
the  blood  money  wrung  from  Cuba,  are 
rags  in  the  bond  market.  No  neighbor 
would  help  her.  fncompetent,  tiied  out. 
overcivilized,  she  would  never  dare  to 
take  up  hir  leaden  sword  against  any 
nation  with  an  unimpaired  credit  and 
boundless  resources. 

"And  even  if  war  were  in  the  balanc. 
of  this  dispute,"  asks  the  Journal,  "waa 
there  ever  a  cause  in  which  its  dread 
arbitrament  might  be  more  decently  in- 
voked than  this  one?  Nations  go  to  war 
to  protect  their  commerce.  The  people 
of  the  United  States  have  suffered  the 
loss  of  countless  millions  of  dollan'i 
through  the  prolongation  of  the  Cuban 
horror.  Nations  go  to  war  to  preserve 
their  borders  from  hara-ssment.  The 
Southern  Atlantic  coast  has  been  in  a 
state  of  constant  disturbance  for  over 
two  years  on  account  of  the  Cuban 
atrocity.  Nations  go  to  war  to  avenge 
the  nviltreatment  of  their  citizens.  Scores 


of  American  citizens  have  been  im- 
prisoned and  no  reparation  has  lu'cn

A  TKKASl  KK  IX  A  TOMIJ. 

Aiiticiiiitj  had  its  own  strange  wnvs 
oh  binding  Jo»vn  its  wealth,  ways  so 
strange  that  we  rece^xer  our  legacies 
only  by  robbing  its  tombs,  Profe.*-sor 
J.  living  Manatt  tells  us  in  the  March 
Atlantic.  The  sepulchres  of  Mycenae 
have  at  last  toid  us  the  actual  lite- 
story  of  Homer's  idealized  Achaiati^. 
while  the  tombs  td  Egypt  are  found  to 
1  0.  sacred  .and  secular,  the  anhives  of 
uncounted  generations.  It  is  to  their 
funereal  etiquette  we  owe  the  reco\ery 
of  Bacchylides  and  of  many  anothe: 
precious  scroll.  The  old  Egyptian 
thought  tv>  while  away  eternity  with 
his  favorite  authors,  and  so  took  with 
him  to  the  long  home  not  only  hi? 
liook  of  the  dead,  but  a  stock  of  ligh: 
1  catling — tales,  love  stories  and  th' 
like. 

Such  a  "bursting  forth  of  genius 
Irom  the  dust"  was  looked  for  when 
the  biiried  cili's  of  Campagna  canv- 
to  light,  and  Wordsworth  uttered  this 
Frijj)helic  note: 

"O  ye  who  patiently  explore 
The  wreck  of  Herculanean  lore, 
What  rapture!       Could  ye  seize 
Some  Thel)ian   fragment,    or   unroll 
(^ne    precious    tender-hearted    scroll 
Of  Pure  Simonides." 

If  '•haughty  time"  has  failed  as  y^t 
to  grant  the  letter  of  the  poet's  wish, 
the  essence  of  it  is  taking  shape  in  ac- 
cimiplished  fact.  Instead  of  a  single 
scroll  of  the  elder  Keian,  the  younge; 
is  now  restored  to  us  in  a  full  score  0? 
his  sweetest  songs.  Some  eighteen  cen 
turies  ago  there  died  at  Luxor  a  man 
who  loved  Bacchylides  so  well  that  th, 
poet  must  needs  bear  him  company 
l-eyend  the  bourne. 

"hat  the  dead  man  thumbed  the  prc- 
ciou.-^  volume  in  the  tomb  we  cannot 
.-ay,  but  it  was  in  safe  keeping.  Mean- 
time, every  copy  above  ground  woiiid 
Fei  ni  to  have  perished  within  the  four 
centuries  following.  At  laast,  foi 
any  trace  we  can  get  of  him  beyond  th? 
iiundred-cdd  lines  that  had  lodged 
here  and  there  as  other  ancients  guoi- 
ed  them  to  point  a  moral  or  adorn  a 
tale,  Eacchylide*  had  been  lost  to  the 
world  for  1400  years,  until  the  tomb  al 
Luxor  gave  up  its  treasure  a  year  ag.>. 


THK  SITl  .\TION  GK.%VE. 

The  relations  between  the  United 
States  and  Spain  are  bady  strained.  It 
is  undeniable  that  the  situation  today  is 
very  grave,  and  that  the  danger  of  war 
is  serious.  War  may  be  precipitatetl  at 
any  mom.cnt,  and  it  is  well  that  the 
public  mind  should  be  prepared  for  it. 
It  may  come  sooner  than  we  anticipate. 

There  are  numerous  ways  in  which 
■'the  dogs  of  war"  may  be  turned  loose. 
The  investigation  into  the  Maine  dis- 
aster is  already  causing  trouble.  The 
Spanish  government's  request  to  partici- 
pate in  the  investigation  has  been  de- 
clined, and  the  Spanish  factions  in  Ha- 
vana are  intensely  excited  over  the  re- 
fusal. There  are  some  desperate  and 
;ioth.:aded  characters  among  them,  who 
may  make  serious  trouble.  There  maM 
be  an  encounter  between  the  Spanish 
V'Ollce  officials  and  Capt.  Sigsbee's  repre- 
sentative. The  Havana  harbor  patrol 
may  refuse  to  permit  the  American 
wrecking  operations  to  proceed,  free  from 
Spanish  espionage.  Any  one  of  these  in- 
cidents would  prol)ably  cause  war. 

The  North  Atlantic  squadron  is  now- 
assembling  at  Key  West,  under  orders 
from  Admiral  Sicard,  so  that  every 
vessel  will  be  in  instant  communication 
with  the  navy  department,  and  at  the 
same  time  within  a  few  hours'  sail  from 
Havana.  The  moment  any  warlike  act 
is  committed  by  Spain,  this  fleet  will 
descend  upon  Havana  and  begin  the 
bombardment  of  the  city. 


HAWAII'.S  AN.VKXATION, 

The  Hawaiian  annexation  treaty  still 
hangs  fire  in  the  senate,  action  being  de- 
layed by  the  acute  situation  respecting 
Cuba.  Opinions  differ  as  to  whether  th.- 
treaty  can  command  a  sufficient  number 
of  votes  to  ensure  Us  ratification.  Its 
defeat,  ht>wever,  woulu  not  mean  the 
abandonment  of  the  plan  to  annex  the 
islands.  The  failure  of  the  treaty  would 
Lad  to  the  introduction  of  a  bill  or  joint 
resolution  to  accomplish  annexation.  A 
treaty  ratified  by  the  senate  would  be 
conclusive  action,  but  a  two-tnirds  vote 
Is  retjuiied.  The  other  plan  would  re- 
quire only  the  majority  of  each  house 
and  the  signature  of  the  president.  Texas

The  Cincinnati  Ihiiuir.  r  says:  '•To 
many  nun  the  concurrence  of  Ixiih  tiie 
stiiate  and  hou.se  will  seein  the  better 
way  of  atlmitting  Hawaii.  In  tlils  way 
the  whole  representation  of  the  states 
uiul  the  peopU-  pailieipates  in  the  im- 
portant proceeding.  F'rom  the  outlook  at 
this  moment  il  will  be  bird  to  keep  the 
island  n public  out.  The  rec.nt  Orieiual 
complications  have  stimulated  senti-  , 
ment  in  favor  of  annexation.  There  ar  • 
too  many  Americans  on  the  Hawaiian 
islands  to  justify  us  in  rejecting  their 
petitions  to  become  one  of  the  great 
family  of  .Mtales  anil  territories." 

The  Institute  of  Franci'  has  taken 
formal  possession  of  the  estate  of  Chan- 
tilly,  whicii  the  late  iluke  of  Aumalo

TIME  TO  REST. 


-The  Kansas  City  Star  says:  "The  in- 
fluence of  Frances  Willard  as  a  re- 
former was  vastly  augmented  by  the 
fact  that  she  was  the  sort  of  a  woman 
who  would  have  made  a  lovely  wife 
and  a  good  m  )ther.  She  was  a  great 
pow  er  on  the  platform,  but  no  more  wo- 
manly woman  ever  graced  a  drawing 
room  or  directed  the  destinies  of  a 
nursery." 


C  Francis  Train  was  appropriately 
the  toastmaater  at  the  dinner  of  the 
New  York  Thirteen  clul)  at  the  Mills 
hotel,  where  :SoS  members  and  guests 
sat  around  twice  thirteen  tables,  thirteen 
people  at  a  table,  and  partook  of  a  spe- 
cial 13-cent  dinner,  which  was  eaten  in 
twice  thirteen  minutes.  His  name,  you 
see,  contains  just  thirteen  letters. 

The  Brooklyn  Democracy  is  in  revolt 
against  Tammany.  Tammany  has 
sanctioned  the  retention  of  a  Republican 
in  the  Brooklyn  water  department,  to 
the  horrjr,  anger  and  dismay  of  the 
faithful,  who  do  not  exactly  know- 
where  they  are  at.  They  evidently  for- 
got that  the  Piatt  Republicans  enaljled 
them  to  win  last  November. 


"We  are  mad,"  exclaimed  a  Tennessee 
rural  contemporary-  "Darn  the  people! 
How  can  they  expect  us,  out  here  twelve 
miles  from  a  railroad,  twenty-five  miles 
from  a  river,  millions  of  miles  from 
heaven,  about  two  miles  from  the  devil 
and  about  200  yards  from  a  whisky 
shop,  to  get  out  a  lively  paper!" 

A  Missoun  man  complains  that  it 
costs  him  $50  for  extra  fuel  each  winter 
to  keep  his  wife's  $10  collection  of  plants 
from  freezing,  and  that  the  flowers  are 
invariably  killed  by  being  set  out  too 
early  In  the  spring.

A   New  York   Paper   on    Mr.    Rocke- 
feller's Wealth. 

N'.w  York  Jninnal:  'I'lie  Son.  wliieii  s.  I- 
(Ii>m  errs  on  the  siile  of  uverstatemi  nl  in 
.stiniatin.g  K  w  wealth  of  inillinnain-s.  r>- 
ported  the  other  day  that  John  1».  Uo(l;e- 
feller's  holdings  of  Standard  Oil  trust 
liiiuldatlng  i  .rtillcatrs  were  in  thp  neigh- 
borhood of  ^:!ii.(»(Ki.iMM».  As  the  certilica:es 
are  selling  f  >r  more  than  4WI.  the  market 
\alue  of  thi^i  portion  cf  Mr.  Uoekefeller  s 
comfortable  1  state  is  not  less  than  $i:i2.()0).- 
(iiHt.  As  the  last  <iiiarttrly  dividend  de- 
clared by  llie  secretive  ring  which  man- 
ages Standard  Oil  was  10  per  cent,  it  fol- 
lows that  under  existing  conditions  Mr. 
Rockefeller  enjoys  from  his  Standard  Oil 
holdings  alone  an  income  of  $12.tW0,0()<J. 

P.nt  Mr.  lloekefeller  has  other  small 
properties  si.ved  up  for  a  rainy  day.  He 
is  not  unknown  as  a  holder  of  Sugar 
trust  certificates;  he  was.  and  probably  is, 
interesteil  in  '"Chicago  Oas;  "  he  is  virtu- 
ally the  sole  proprietor  of  the  Mesaba 
iron  range,  \vhere  they  scoop  up  ore  with 
a  steam  sho\el;  he  has  ships  on  the  ocean 
and  on  the  lakes— is,  in  fact,  one  of  th.' 
s:ockholders  in  the  heavily  sui)sidiK.  d 
American  li:ie.  to  which  a  wise  govern- 
ment has  given  a  virtual  monopoly  uf  mail 
carrying,  so  as  to  develop  the  American 
mercantile  iT;arine. 

In  short,  it  seems  probable  that  Mr. 
Rock,  feller  is  beyond  apprehension  of 
want.  If  railroail  directors  should  sud- 
denly succumb  to  an  epidemic  of  honesty 
and  refuse  to  make  discriminating  rates 
in  his  favor  he  could  live  his  simple  Fifth 
avenue  life.  If  all  the  bookkeepers  of  his 
rivals  should  refuse  his  bribes— as  did  the 
one  who  testified  the  othtr  day  before  an 
Ohio  invesigating  committee— he  still 
fould  pay  hs  pew  rent  in  the  Rev.  Dr. 
Faunces  church.  If  prosecuting  attorneys 
were  Incorruptible  and  judges  were  deaf 
to  the  clink  of  gold  Mr.  Rockefeller  would 
still  be  able  to  endow  universities  and 
teach  the  youth  of  the  land  political  econ- 
omy of  a  sort  i)leasing  to  trust  magnates. 
If  the  anti-trust  laws  were  enforced  he 
would,  perh.ips.  accumulate  wealth  more 
slowly,  but  would  still  have  a  modest 
comp^-tence.  If  the  income  tax  were  an 
effective  law  h  •  would  repay  to  the  peopL 
a  small  part  of  what  he  has  wrested 
from  them  in  defiance  f>f  law,  but  there 
would  remain  to  him  enough  for  those 
works  of  unosi  ntatiou's  piety,  those  con- 
tributions m.'ide  in  the  name  of  education. 
with  which  he  strives  to  still  popular  re- 
sentment. 

In  brief,  h:  sn't  the  time  come  when  Mr. 
Rockefeller  might  rest  from  his  money- 
grabbing  labors,  abandon  his  successful 
cami)aign  apainst  law.  justice  and  ethics 
and  leave  a  little  of  the  industry  and  op- 
portunity of  the  world  oi)en  for  some  other 
fell(*ws? 


It  is  asserted,  but  the  authority  is  not 
given,  that  a  Kansas  City  man  who  sat

dress  pocket  was  able  to  see  the  last  act

On  a  Tight  Rope  Followed  By

How  Signor  Salviatoria  Saved 
a  Lady  From  a  Most  Fright- 
ful Death.

No  one  who  saw  the  tawdry  finery  of 
his  tinsel  trapjdngs  and  the  cheap  aii- 
pointments  of  the  famous  Signor  Sal- 
viat.M-ia  !is  single  han<le<l  an.l  alon"  h  • 
preitared  the  iiarajth-  rnalia  for  his 
light-rope  performance  which  had 
brought  him  his  glory  w.tuld  have  ev .1 
inuigiiied  that  there  was  time  or  space 
in  his  busy  life  for  a  r.tmance.  The 
sigiHu-  was  :i  |ieri|>;itetic  |h-rambulator 
.d'  tlie  rope,  and  his  lield  eif  j)erform- 
aiiee  la.v  in  countr.v  t.iwns.  where  it 
was  his  Wont  to  stretiii  his  narrow 
Iiathway  across  a  street  from  roof  to 
r.)id'  (d'  houses  whose  owners  were  will- 
ing to  I'Xtend  that  privilege  to  him  in 
exchange  for  tickets  to  "the  givat  and 
only  .\Ie,g«therian  <oncert,"  which  fol- 
lowed tile  outdoor  exhildtion.  Yet  he 
had  a  lomance,  and  there  w'ere  in  it 
those  elements  which  one  greater  than 
the  Signor  Salviatoria  might  ea.-iily 
have  crystallized  into  a  melodrama  that 
would  hav.-  stirred  the  applause  of  a 
thousand  galleries,  says  the  New  York 
Sun. 

"The  greatest  act  I  ever  done,"  he 
said  with  a  natural  anH  easy  disregard 
of  accent  and  syntax.  "I  done  in  an 
(Jhio  town  aljout  ten  ytars  ago.  I  was 
doing  my  turn  there  for  a  week,  as  it 
was  the  county  fair  season,  and  I  was 
following  their  trail  like  a  sleuth,  for 
they  brought  people  to  town  and  helped 
my  business,  never  none  too  good.  Tl> 
thii'd  night  of  my  performance,  which 
was  a  half  hour  exhibition  in  midair 
before  the  concert  began,'  I  had  gin.- 
uj)  on  the  roof  to  get  things  ready,  and 
while  I  was  pottering  around  snuggin 
up  the  rope  and  seeing  that  there  wa.-n'i 
any  loo.=e  cogs  to  be  dropping  I  heard  a 
screech  uj)  through  the  scuttle  hole 
leading  to  the  roof,  and  the  next  sec  in  J 
out  po|)ped  a  woman  like  one  of  thesi 
Iv  re  jumping  jacks.  It  gave  me  a  hard 
pull  on  my  nerves,  but  I  flew  over  to 
see  what  the  matter  was.  It  was  my 
landlady — and  here  I  want  to  say  that 
when  I  stop  for  any  time  in  a  town  I 
go  to  a  bi)arding  house  whrre  I  can  get 
a  rate  that  wont  break  me.  Got  to  do 
it  in  this  line.  Can't  give  it  all  to  rail- 
roads  and  hotels. 

"In  this  ca.se  I  not  only  stopped  at 
this  boarding  house,  but  the  landlady 
let  me  stretch  my  rope  from  her  roof 
to  the  riHif  of  th-  house  across  the  way 
and  as  it  was  the  main  street  of  the 
town  it  was  convenient  all  the  way 
round  for  me.  The  only  drawback  was 
that  the  lady  had  a  half-crazy  husband 
that  never  had  done  anything  f<ir  her 
when  he  had  his  sens-, s.  and  now  she 
had  to  support  him  and  take  his  abii.-=e 
of  her  every  time  he  got  a  jealous  fit 
which  was  every  time  she  had  a  new- 
boarder  that  was  anything  for  looks 
and  style." 

Signor  Salviatoria  stopp-;d  a  moment 
at  this  remark,  stroked  his  little  chin 
whiskers   and   sniiled   retrospectively. 

"She  had  only  been  polite  to  me  be- 
cause I  had  been  polite  to  h-;r  as  any 
gent  should  be  when  there  is  a  pretty 
woman  around,  and  the  landlady  was 
the  prettiest  little  woman,  about  as 
big  as  a  piece  of  soap,  I  had  met. 

"As  I  was  saying,  wh-;n  I  got  to  her 
she  had  slung  the  cover  to  the  scut  tie 
hole  over  it  and  was  sitting  on  it  with 
her  jaw  set  and  trying  to  stick  her  toe.= 
into  the  roof  to  help  h'lld  it  down,  in 
a  mighty  few  words  sh-?  told  me  her 
husliand  was  on  the  chase  after  h  m 
with  a  hatchet  to  kill  her  and  ne 
would  be  up  from  below  in  a  minute 
She  wasn't  as  bad  scared  as  I  was 
for  I  didn't  have  much  ■;Xi>erience  in 
that  kintl  of  business  and  didn't  know 
what  to  do.  I  didn't  have  anything  t. 
defend  myself  or  htr  with,  either,  and 
the  more  I  thought  of  the  situation  the 
more  I  began  to  think  how;  many  things 
there  were  that  wer-r-  more  dangerous 
than  walking  a  tight  rope  fifty  feet 
above  the  earth,  nnd  me  as  innocent  as 
a  babe.  The  little  woman  told  me  t'^ 
bring  a  baiTelful  of  sand  there  was 
over  in  one  corner  of  the  roof  and  we'd 
vset  it  over  the  cover  of  the  scuttle  t^i 
hold  it  down.  I  done  it  as  fast  as  I 
could,  and  when  we  had  the  barrel  ther 
and  about  fixed  the  crazy  husband 
came  slashing  up  with  his  hatch  t.  A? 
luck  would  have  it.  the  sand  fell  in 
on  him  and  knocked  him  off  the  ladder 
below  and  the  barrel  got  stuck  in  the 
hole,  so  the  little  woman  and  me  hai 
a  minute  or  two  to  think,  and  she  done 
the   thinking. 

"  'Are  you  afraid?'  says  she. 

"  'Some.'  says  I,  nodding  toward  the 
scuttle    hole. 

••  'I  mean  of  me?'  says  she,  smiling. 

"  'Not   much.'   says  I. 

"  'Are  you  strong?"  says  she. 

"  'That's  part  cf  my  act,'  says  I.  'but 
not  against  a  crazy  man  with  a  hatch<^T. 
says  I.  wor^^ring  what  she  would  >ln 
next  and  about  how  long  it  would  bo 
till  the  crazy  man  was  on  deck  with 
his   tomahawk    gl-aming   in    the  air. 

"  'Then,'  says  she.  'grab  hold  of  mo 
right  quick  and  carry  me  across  the 
r.)pe  over  to  Mrs.  Peck's  house,  so's  my 
husliand  won't  get  at  m-^  with  that  ax.' 

"She  had  more  nerve  in  a  minute  than 
I  had  in  a  week,  but  when  she  said  that 
my  professional  pride  come  to  me.  and 
without  any  more  talk  I  reached  for  my 
balancing  pole,  and,  stooping  down  so 
she  could  get  on  my  back,  which  sh: 
didn't  like  very  much.  I  made  a  quick 
run  for  the  end  of  the  rope  just  as  the 
crazy  husband  come  out  of  the  scut- 
tle through  the  barrel  and  tumiil  d 
down  on  the  iv)of  half  smiUhered  with 
sand.  I  told  her  to  hold  tight  and  do 
the  prayin'  for  both  of  us  and  I  thought 
I  could  get  her  through  safe.  T  don't 
know  how  I  ever  got  out  on  that  rone 
with  her  on  my  back,  for  that  wasn't 
the  way  my  profession  done  business 
but  I  got  ther-^,  and  as  I  shot  out  with 
the  woman  clinging  to  me  the  people 
in  the  street  below  set  up  such  a  y  dl 
as  I  never  heard  before,  and  I  come 
near  losing  my  balance,  for  I  kn-:w 
and  they  didn't,  why  this  feature  that 
wasn't   on   the   bills   was   being  showed 

"The  crowd  yelled  about  twice,  and 
then  all  of  a  sudden  got  so  still  I  could 
hear  the  little  woman's  heart  b-  ;it.  Any- 
way-1  thought  that  I  could,  but  mavbe 
it  was  my  own.  T  knew  when  they 
don-  that  the  crowd  had  seen  the  man 
on  the  roof  with  the  hatchet  and  recog- 
nized him.  for  all  the  people  in  the 
town  knew  the  kind  of  a  fellow  he  w<as. 
At  the  .same  time  the  cinwd  got  still 
something  came  to  me  t-  lling  me  to 
nerve  myself,  for  the  crazy  man  would 
cut  the  rope  and  drop  me  and  my  load 
in  the  street  to  be  crushed  into  a  shape- 
less mass,  and  I  came  near  letting  .go 
and  dropping  b- fore  I  was  dropped.  I 
couldn't  see  what  was  going  on  behind 
me.  and  all  the  little  w.tman  kn -w  she 
was  whispering  to  me  to  f::o  ahe\id.  lie- 
cause  we  were  ."afe  if  I  only  kept  iny 
path.  I  dim't  know  wheiher  sh-  thou>-;ht 
about  the  man  with  the  hatchet  or  not. 
Likely  she  did.  It  wasn't  her  to  men- 
tion it.  though,  under  them  circum- 
stances.

ting  the  rope  I  ^^as  getting  along  it  to- 
ward the  safe  end  as  fast  as  I  could, 
the  littl-.^  woman  hanging  on  till  she 
nearly  choked  me.  but  it  didn't  hurt, 
and  1  was  standing  it  beautifully.  It's 
funny  how  a  man  will  find  pleasure  in 
lif-  when  there's  so  much  in  sight  that 
ain't,  and  I  nearly  forgot  the  man  with 
the  hatchet  thinking  aljout  the  little 
woman's  arms  holding  onto  my  neck 
as  the  one  hop-  for  her  life.  But  it 
was  only  f'>r  a  second;  then  I  felt  a 
jar  on  tlie  rope  and  I  choked  and  braced 
myself,  for  I  was  sur-:-  that  the  crazy 
man  was  beginning  to  cut.  and  I  knew 
that  three  or  four  licks  would  be 
enough.  I  waited  for  the  second  jar. 
l)ut  it  didn't  come,  and  in  its  place 
came  a  spring  to  the  rope,  as  if  a 
weight  had  been  taken  off  it,  followed 
bv  a  swishing  sound  and  a  dull  thud 
on  the  sidewalk  fifty  feet  below  us.  At 
the  same  tim^  the  crowd  sent  up  a 
groan  as  if  every  person  in  it  was  hurt. 
I  didn't  know  for  sure  what  had  hap- 
pened, but  I  guessed  that  the  crazy 
man,  like  most  any  crazy  person  or  a 
mad  dog,  only  had  room  in  his  mind  for 
one  thing  at  "a  time,  and  when  that  was 
tlier-,-  there  wasn't  space  for  any  more. 
He  wanted  to  kill  his  wife,  and  the  only 
way  he  knew  how  to  do  it  was  with  the 
hatchet  l>y  cutting  her  to  pieces.  It  did 
not  strike  him  that  he  could  kill  h-rr 
liy  cutting  the  rope  and  letting  h.-r 
drop  to  the  ground.  That  was  too  much 
for  him.  H-  knew  an  easier  way.  and 
as  she  was  out  there  on  the  rope  not 
forty  feet  from  him  he  would  go  out 
there  and  kill  her.  Crazy  people  have 
such  a  crazy  way  of  doing  things,  don't 
they'/  He  did,  and  when  he  took  hi? 
.second  step  out  on  th-r  rope  he  weiit 
over  and  down  to  his  death.  That's 
what  had  made  the  rope  spring  back. 
I  guess  the  little  woman  must  have  frit 
that  something  awful  had  happened, 
though  she  never  said  a  word,  because 
wh;n  I  at  last  stepped  safe  on  to  the 
roof  and  the  crowd  yelled  a  hundr  d 
times  louder  than  they  did  before  they 
knew  what  they  were  yelling  about, 
the  little  woman  let  go  her  hold  around 
my  neck  and  dropp-.-d  at  my  feet  in  a 
dead  faint,  and  I  didn't  blame  her 
either:  it  was  time  for  somebody  to 
faint,  and  if  she  hadn't  a  done  it  I 
would,  sure  pop.  Her  doing  it  gave  me 
something  else  to  think  about,  and  I  got 
her  downstairs  as  quick  as  I  could, 
where  th-f  women  took  charge  of  her 
and   soon   brou.ght  her  out   all  right. 

"I  guess  that's  all  there  is  to  it." 
smiled  the  signor.  picking  up  his  bal- 
ancing pole  and  pointing  it  to  a  date 
line  and  some  initials  on  it.  "This  is 
the  one  that  steadied  us  over,  and  the 
little  woman  had  them  put  on  th-r 
when  she  become  the  blushing  bride  of 
Signor  Salviatoria."  and'  the  signor 
bowed  with  a  sweep  that  would  have 
entranced  an  audience  of  millions. 


IN  ITASCA  COUNTY. 


Commissioners  Chosen   In    Place   of 
Lydicli  and  Logan. 

Grand  Rapids.  Minn.,  Feb.  21.— (Spe- 
cial to  The  Herald.)— The  appointinir 
board  to  select  a  county  commissioner 
for  the  First  district  of  Itasca  counry. 
in  place  of  Henry  Logan,  is  to  mil 
this  afternoon.  The  board  consists  oi" 
John  Heckfelt  and  H.  D.  Powers.  •>{ 
tirand  Kapids,  and  Courtney  Buell.  <.f 
LaPrairie.  Those  mentioned  for  ih^ 
liosition  are  William  C.  tiilbert,  W.  I>. 
llolman,  J.  J.  Deckers  and  (leorge  F. 
Myers,  of  Grand  Kapids,  and  Cha;los 
I'].  Leeman.  of  LaPrairie.  In  the  v-o:t- 
test  between  the  two  places  for  repre- 
sentation it  seems  likely  that  the  choicc 
will  fall  upon  Mr.  Myers,  who  was  a 
pioneer  among  the  jn-operty  owners  of 
the  county  and  is  well  known  in  the 
business  circles  of  both  LaPrairiL^  and 
'  riand   Kapids. 

The  successor  to  George  I.,ydick.  in 
the  Third  commissioner  district,  v  tis 
ihosen  Saturday  afternoon  by  Messio. 
Fred  L.  Churchill  and  WilliaiT  .1, 
Kelly,  of  Deer  River,  and  Thomas  Mc- 
Hu.»?h,  of  Cohasset.  The  new  incum- 
bent is  Chester  W.  Robinson,  of  Deer 
River.  Commi.'^sioner  Rotiinson  served 
a  term  upon  the  board  of  trustees  cf 
(irand  Rapids  just  prior  to  his  r.-- 
nioval  to  Deer  River  and  proved  to  l>o 
a  bright  and  energetic  young  oHicial. 

The  reniainin.ir  member  of  the  Itas.'.i 
county  board,  Commissioner  A.  H. 
Wilder,  who  was  elected  last  fall,  con- 
tinues to  hold  his  office,  repr-.senting 
the  Second  district. 

The  re  ults  of  the  cases  .ngainst  the 
displaced  comfnissioners — the  acceptanc<> 
of  the  fine  for  misdemean>>r  in  full 
ss'tlenunt  from  each  of  the  two  men— 
are  accepted  more  as  evidence  of  car-"'- 
U'ss  methods  than  of  criminal  intent. 
They  have  other  interests  that  divi  ried 
their  attention  from  a  close  scrutiny  of 
the  bills  presented,  and  it  does  not  ap- 
pear that  they  profited  iiersonally  from 
the  $100  or  thereabouts  involved  in  the 
bills  by  which  the  county  was  imposed 


jpon.  In  fact.  Frank  Madden  testified 
that  he  was  the  sole  l»rn€ficiary  of  the 
vI28  for  road  work.  The  case  against 
him  was  quashed,  although  it  was 
claimed   that  he  had  bcf.n  overijaid. 

A  grand  ball  will  be  given  at  F.  L. 
Churchill's  hotel,  De^r  River,  on  the 
tvening  of  Washington's  ijirthday.  Feb. 
22.  As  the  hotel  has  ie<vntly  been 
doubled  in  siz-..  and  Mr.  Churchill  is  now 
the  mayir  of  Detrr  River,  he  will  hav 
mor^"  than  his  usual  number  of  friends

The  third  annual  ball  of  Uniform

DR.  HIMASON  TALKS 


Real  estate  speeulators  are  trying  to 
Kiiess  just  now  what  towns  aUrng:  the 
line  of  the  Fosston  branch  will  enjoy  the 
niost  rapid  .cri\>wth  as  a  result  of  the 
completion  of  the  line.  Many  would-be 
inve-»tors  and  business  men  looking  for 
promisini;  lu-ations  are  traveling  over 
the  line  every  day,  determined  to  make 
a  selection  early,  that  they  may  be 
established  before  the  n>ad  is  opened 
for  business.  Bemidji.  on  the 
lake  of  the  same  name,  is  considered 
the  most  pn>misinff  of  the  new  towns. 
The  site  is  the  pr(.>perty  of  a  company 
which  is  c«>mposed  of  Great  Northern 
Railroad  otlieiajs  and  their  friends,  and 
the  presumption  is  that  the  railroad 
company  will  help  it  along.  This  fact 
in  itself  will  go  a  long  way  toward  in- 
fluencing people  to  locate  there,  and  if 
the  railroad  company  really  does  en- 
courage it.  it  will  without  doubt  be  the 
m>st  prosperous  town  between  Fosston 
and  Grand  Rapids.  The  country  which 
surrounds  it  is  rich  in  natural  resources 
and  is  capable  of  supporting  a  good 
town  when  setlletl  up.  There  is  also 
considerable  timber  that  will  come  out 
on  Bemidji  lake.  and  when  the 
railroad  is  completed  sawmills  will  be 
hKated  there  to  lut  it.  for  it  will  open 
a  good  market  for  lumber  to  the  West. 

The  people  of  Grand  Rapids  feel  con- 
fident that  their  town  will  be  greatly 
Vicnefited  by  the  completion  of  the  road. 
It  will  at  once  place  them  on  an  im- 
portant through  line  instead  of  an  in- 
significant branch.  It  will  bring  new 
settlers  into  the  surrounding  country 
who  will  do  their  trading  at  Grand 
Rapids  and  make  of  it  one  of  the  largest 
towns  in  Northern  Minnesota.  Business 
at  Grand  Rapids  has  been  greatly  ben- 
efited this  winter  by  the  buiWing  of 
the  road,  and  quite  a  number  of  inves- 
tors have  located  there  since  work  on 
the  branch  was  begun. 

AMlbEMENTS. 


TIM  MURPHY  TONIGHT. 
The  renawncd  comedian.  Tim  Murphy, 
will  appear  at  the  Lyceum  tonight  and 
tomorrow  night  in  a  double  bill  that  in- 
cludesthe  humorous"^  pathetic  comedy  In 
three  cheering  acts,  entitled.  "Old  Inno- 
cence." and  his  latest  dramatic  sensa- 
tion. "Sii  Henry  Hypnotized."  By  re- 
quest Mr.  Murphy  will  introduce  hi> 
famous  portrayal  of  William  Jennings 
Bryan,  delivering  a  portion  of  his  famous 
and  renowned  "cross  of  thorn"  speech, 
also  his  original  creation  of  Maverick 
Brander  in  "A  Texas  Steer,"  by  special 
arrangement  with  Charles  H.  Hoyt.  An- 
other notable  feature  of  this  engagemen:. 
is  the  appearance  of  the  celebrated 
Southern  beauty,  Dorothy  Sherrod,  a 
little  lady  whose  prominent  relations  in- 
clude ex- President  Madison,  Dolly  Paine, 
Patrick  Henry  and  Governor  Houston  of 
Texas,   deceased. 


"THE  GEISHA." 
The  Japanese  musical  comedy.  "The 
Geisha."  will  be  presented  at  the  Ly- 
ceum Wednesday  and  Thursday  even- 
ings. "The  Geisha"  is  the  greatest  oper- 
atic success  of  the  past  two  years.  It 
was  written  by  Owen  Hall  and  Harry 
Gnenbank.  with  the  sparkling  music  hy 
Sidney  Jones.  The  theme  is  as  light  as 
the  songs  and  score.  It  is  the  tale  of  a 
tea  house,  and  it  appeals  to  the  galleries 
as  well  as  the  parquet.  One  of  the  most 
fetching  numbers  in  it  is  the  chrysanthe- 
mum music,  with  harp  obligato,  in  Act 
II.  Worthy  of  mention  is  the  song  of 
"The  Amorous  Gold  Fish"  and  "The 
Jewel  of  Asia,"  but  the  .song  that  took 
the  roof  off  Daly's  theater  in  New  York 
is  "Jack's  the  Boy." 


APOLLO  CLUB  CONCERT. 
Tomorrow  evening  the  Apollo  club 
concert  will  be  given  at  the  First  Metho- 
dist church.  A  large  house  is  assured, 
the  sale  of  seats  having  been  very- 
large.  The  chorus  numbers  sixty  and 
is  under  the  direction  of  Emil  Ober- 
Hoffer.  one  of  the  foremost  musicians 
of  the  Twin  Cities.  The  program  which 
was  published  Saturday  shows  that  the 
concert  will  be  of  a  very  high  order. 
The  members  of  the  chorus  will  arrive 
tomorrow  evening  on  a  special  train.  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Francis  E.  Woodward  will 
sing  solos. 

A  good  thing  to  stand  under— the  Gor- 
don Hat. 


Delivered  an  Address  at  the 

Labor    Bazar    Saturday 

Evening. 

The  Labor  bazar  was  the  center  of  at- 
traction Saturday  evening.  appare»|itl.v. 
There  was  a  large  crowd  present  from  the 
opening  of  the  doors  until  the  closing. 
From  7:30  to  9  there  was  a  concert  by 
Di  Marco's  full  string  band,  after  which 
iiev.  Dr.  Humason.  of  the  First  Metho- 
dist church,  delivered  an  address  on 
"The  American  Workingnian."  Follow- 
the  address  were  vocal  and  instrumental 
musical  selections. 

Dr.  HuTiiison  expivsscd  his  pleasure 
at  speaking  at  the  bazar  under  the 
auspices  of  the  trades  unions.  He  ha;* 
been  a  workingman  himself,  he  said,  and 
had  carried  his  dinner  pail  to  and  from 
his  work  day  after  day  and  week  after 
week.  In  making  the  rounds  of  ihi.' 
bazar  he  had  seen  something  that  re- 
called those  days.  It  was  merely  a  piece 
of  sole  leather.  He  was  a  tanner  by 
trade,  he  said.  Before  he  tanned  souls 
in  Duluth  he  had  tanned  the  other  kind 
of  soles  in  Buffalo.  People  were  often 
heard  of  nowadays  as  having  wheels  in 
their  heads.  He  understood  that  Simv- 
people,  when  the  bazar  was  proposed, 
were  accused  of  having  wheels,  but 
wheels  must  be  judged  l)y  the  spokes. 
and  there  was  evidence  that  behind  the 
wheels  that  got  this  exhibition  together 
there  were  brains.  This  splendid  exhibi- 
tion was  a  fitting  manner  in  which  to 
christen  the  new  hall.  The  whole  was  a 
great  credit  to  organized  labor,  and  a 
matter  of  much  significance. 

The  speaker  btlieved  in  the  American 
workingman.  and  did  not  object  to  hij 
coming"  from  foreign  lands,  providing  hj 
was  industrious  and  would  not  sell  hit. 
labor  so  cheaply  that  he  would  fore- 
American  workingmen  as  a  class  to  work 
for  wages  insufficient  to  maintain  his 
self-respect  and  supply  his  demands. 
Wealth  was  crystallized  labor.  The  idea 
that  any  man  was  too  good  to  la'oor  with 
his  hands  and  his  brain  should  be  dis- 
courageu.  Allowed  to  develop,  it  would 
destroy  the  best  in  us.  Capital  and 
labor  could  not  be  separated.  It  was  the 
aim  of  labor  to  get  its  fair  share  m  the 
producing  of  wealth.  The  moie  brams 
brought  to  bear  in  this  struggle,  tn.- 
sooner  would  the  object  be  accomplished. 
This  exhibition  indicated  more  plainly 
than  words  that  Duluth  workingmen  are 
endowed  with  brains.  The  speaker  did 
not  know  before  that  there  were  so  many 
manufacturing  entei'prises  in  Duluth. 
and  he  was  filled  with  fresh  inspiration 
and  courage  by  the  display. 

The  old-fashioned  respect  tor  work- 
ingmen bv  people  of  wealth,  and  what 
is  understood  as  social  position,  was 
largely  a  thing  of  the  past.  Slavery  was 
laigely  responsible  for  the  change,  am 
the  big  combines  have  had  a  hand  in  ir. 
A  class  spirit  had  grown  up.  for  whicli 
fiei-*'  was  no  necessity.  The  best  resuli 
could  be  obtained  without  treating  work- 
ingmen as  if  they  were  an  inferior  order 
of"  beings.  Out  of  all  the  many  strikes 
and  boycotts  and  things  said  and  don- 
lo  be  regretted.  God  was  going  to  bring 
good  results.  The  union  label  was  a 
step  in  the  right  direction.  Although 
the  idea  was  not  perfect,  it  was  accom- 
plishing good  work.  One  thing  to  o(. 
borne  in  mind  was  to  patronize  homo 
products  as  much  as  possible. 

The  introduction  of  labor-saving  ma- 
chinery, while  disastrous  temporarily  for 
some  unions,  was  hastening  the  day 
when  the  twenty-four  hours  would  be  di- 
vided by  three;  eight  hours  «««•  labor 
eight  hours  for      recreation      and  eight 

hours  for  sleep.  ,  ^  ,k« 

\  large  number  of  people  attended  the 
mktinee  Saturday  afternoon.  The  dance 
■at  Armory  hall  Saturday  evening  was 
largely  attended,  and  was  a  very   suc-

AMERICANS  WON. 

Native    Born    Curlers    Were 
Too  Much  For  the  For- 
eigners Saturday. 

The  eagle,  if  it  is  at  all  interested  in 
sporting  matters  had  occasion  to  scream 
a  little  at  the  Tait  rink  Saturday  night, 
for  the  curling  contest  between  the 
American-born  curlers  and  those  who 
had  their  nativity  in  foreign  lands  re- 
sulted in  a  decisive  viitory  for  the  for- 
mer. Ttie  contest  had  been  much  talked 
about  during  the  week,  and  there  was  a 
great  ile^l  of  interest  in  it.  The  Ameri- 
cans won  three  games  out  of  the  live 
lb.it  were  played.  1).  R.  Black  lost  to 
i:.  X.  Kradley  by  a  score  of  Hi  to  .'>.  and 
.\.  II.  Smith  went  down  before  L.  W. 
Kolleston  by  a  .score  of  ir>  to  8. 

The  foreign-born  curlers  attribute 
ihfir  defeat  to  the  fait  that  was  meii- 
lioiied  before  the  contest,  namely,  that 
there  were  <-oinparatively  few  foreign- 
born  among  the  curlers,  and  that  the 
naUves  had  the  best  material  to  choose 
from.  The  rinks  and  scores  were  as

DR.  BIRTON  COMING. 

Will    Lecture    Here     For     Traveling 
Library  Association. 

Dr.  Richard  Burton,  of  Hartford. 
Conn.,  has  been  secured  to  deliver  two 
lectures  in  Duluth  in  the  interest  of  the 
Traveling  Library  association.  He  wih 
lecture  March  1  on  -Kipling  and  Mod- 
ern Realism,"  and  March  8  on  "The 
>rew  Romantic  School— Stevenson. 
Doyle,  Barrie.  Weymaetc."  Dr.  Bur- 
ton is  literary  editor  of  the  Hartford 
Courant  and  one  of  the  foremost  liter- 
ary men  of  the  country.  The  Minne- 
apolis Journal  said  of  him: 

"Dr  Richard  Burton  has  made  more 
friends  in  Minneapolis  in  three  weeks 
than  many  men  make  in  a  lifetime.  The 
students  and  men  and  women  who  are 
long  pa-st  their  college  days,  who  have 
heard  his  lectures  at  the  university  in 
the  instructional  course  he  is  giving 
there  have  become  as  attached  to  his 
personality  as  the  matinee  girl  is  to 
the  actor  who  'looks  so  grand.  It  is 
no  exaggeration  to  say  that  every  one 
of  them  earnestly  hopes  that  the  lectur- 
er may  be  persuaded  to  remain  in  Min- 
neapolis and  give  the  inspiration  of  his 
presence  to  the  English  department  of 
the  university.  His  experience  at  the 
University  of  Minnesota  has  been  only 
a  repetition  of  his  earlier  experiences 
at  Johns  Hopkins,  where  1500  People 
tried  to  occupy  a  hall  built  for  1000.

Miss  Sarah  Zaik   and   Robert   Buck- 
man  Married  Yesterday. 

Roberi  Buckman  and  Miss  Sarali 
Zaik,  both  of  this  city,  were  united  in 
marriage  yesterday  afternoon  at  the 
Kalamazoo  block  with  the  foims  and 
ceremony  of  the  Hebrew  faith.  Rabiii 
I'rey.  of  Duluth,  and  Rev.  Saul  Aaron 
Lass,  of  Minneapolis,  officiated.  The 
bride  is  the  daughter  of  Max  Zaiu. 
I  n  sident  of  the  Duluth  Iron  and 
Metal  company,  and  the  groom  is  the 
Minior  member  of  the  firm  of  Josephs 
A:  P.uckman.  The  ceremony  was  p.-r- 
fornied  in  the  presence  of  a  large  num- 
ber of  friends  of  the  contracting 
parties  and  over  200  sat  down  to  the 
wedding  supper  that  followed. 

Shorty  after  6  o'clock  the  wedding 
party  entered  the  hall  in  which  the 
guests  were  assembled.  Its  approach 
was  announced  by  the  ushers  and  th" 
music  ceased  and  in  an  impressive  sii- 
enc^•  the  procession  came  in.  Men 
holding  lighted  tapers  led  the  way,  the 
bridtr  and  groom  following  and  affr 
them  the  three  bridesmaids  and  thre? 
groomsmen.  The  bride  was  attired  in 
a  white  silk  gown,  with  a  veil  arid 
orange  blossoms  and  diamond  orn.-^i- 
n.ents,  and  carried  in  her  hand  a 
bunch  of  American  beauty  roses.  The 
bridesmaids.  Miss  Fannie  and  Miss 
Marion  Mark  and  Miss  Anna  Cooke, 
were  similarly  gowned  and  carried 
roses.  The  groomsmen.  B.  Cooke,  H. 
J.)sephs,  and  Z.  Josephs,  were  de 
nguer   and    wore    boutonnieres. 

The  ceremony  was  performed  under 
the  customary  canopy  representing  the 
heavens.  The  rites  were  in  accoid- 
ance  with  both  the  orthodox  and  re- 
formed forms.  The  Rev.  Abbi  Frey 
«p(.ke  in  English  and  the  words  were 
repeated  in  Hebrew  by  Rev.  Lass.  The 
Lride  and  groom  drank  from  the  same 
glass  of  wine,  and  the  glass  v  as  then 
broken  on  the  tloor.  The  drinking  to- 
g' ther  was  typical  of  a  sharing  by  the 
pair  of  joys  and  sorrows;  the  breaking 
of  the  glass,  a  reminder  of  the  un- 
certain tenure  of  life  and  that  th-; 
contracting  parties  are  in  the  hands  ol 
God  After  the  ceremony  the  bride 
and  groom  were  congratulated  anj 
there  was  general  rejoicing. 

A  great  feast  followed  the  congratu- 
lations. There  were  two  tables  and 
about  200  sat  at  each.  Mayor  Truelsen 
re«iionded  to  the  first  toast  and  made  a 
fine  addres.«.  After  it  three  cheers  were 
g'ven  for  the  mayor.  I.  Abrahamson. 
W  W  Abrahamson.  L.  Hammel,  Rabbi 
Frey  and  C.  Goldblum  made  happy 
speeches.  At  the  second  table  were  a 
large  number  of  the  old  Hebrew  set- 
tlers of  Duluth.  S.  Joseph,  of  Minne- 
apolis, made  a  fine  address  in  the 
Hebrew  language.  He  spoke  for  the 
welfare  of  Duluth  and  its  mayor,  for 
the  goodness  and  blessing  of  the  young 
couple  and  for  the  happiness  and  long 
life  of  the  Jewish  settlers  of  Duluth.  In 
clo«ing  he  addressed  his  remarks  to  the 
young  couple,  wishing  them  joy  and 
picturing  their  union  as  a  most  happy 

one.  ^  „ 

Among  guests  from  abroad  were  Rev. 
Lass  and  family  and  S.  Josephs  of 
Minneapolis:  Miss  Fannie  Mark,  of  St 
Idul-  Saul  Pozinske.  of  Ashland,  and 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Seigel  and  Mrs.  R.  Boze- 
11  pe.  of  West  Superior.  Among  the 
guo«ts  from  in  town  were  Mayor  Trui  1- 
sen.  Chief  of  Police  Hansen  and  Capr. 
Thompson.  ,   ^  ^  , 

At  least  100  congratulatory  tele- 
grams were  received  by  the  newly- 
wedded  pair.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Buckman 
will  reside  at  502  East  First  street.

DOES  NOTWANT  WAR 

Dr.  Humeison  Is  Not  Hanker- 
ing lor  a  Fight  With 
Spain. 

Dr.  Humason's  secular  talk  at  the 
First  Methtdist  church  last  night  was 
on  the  "Cuban  Question."  and  he 
opined  that  if  the  I'nlted  States  became 
involved  in  a  war  with  Cuba  she  would 
havt'  to  fight  France  as  well,  because  of 
the  jealous*'  of  the  latter  nation  ovei 
the  Nicaraguan  canal.  While  the 
speaker  hai  no  doubt  of  this  country's 
ability  to  vt'hip  both  of  these  nations, 
he  did  not  approve  of  the  jingo  boast- 
ing of  how  easily  Spain  would  be  for 
the  rnited  States.  He  sai<l  that  there 
wmis  ii  great  deal  involved  in  the  (^iiban 
(luestioii,  and  Spain  does  not  stand  alone. 
France  would  surely  be  embroiled,  and 
other  nations  might  become  involved. 
The  speaker  did  not  believe  that  (^ul>a 
is  capaltle  of  seir-gov.'rninent,  as  the 
l)opulation  is  only  half-civilized.  The 
I'nited  States  cannot  afford  to  attemj)! 
to  govern  ii.  and  it  cannot  affoid  to  let 
.any  other  nation  but  Spain  perform  this 

office. 

He  beylieved  that  the  countiT  should 
go  slowly  in  the  matter.  War  with  Spain 
would  rnean  the  shedding  of  much  blood 
and  the  expenditure  of  many  dollars. 
With  the  help  she  would  get  from  othei 
nations  Spain  would  cut  a  very  much 
larger  figure  than  many  of  the  boasters 
imagine.  The  speaker  was  not  anxious 
for  war,  and  he  wished  all  questions 
could  be  settled  peacefully,  but  if  it 
was  necessary,  he  believed  in  doing  it 
well  while  this  country  is  at  it,  and 
that  Spain  should  be  thrashed  so 
thoroughly  that  the  lesson  will  last  500 
years. 

The  speaker  admired  the  dignity  with 
which  the  president  had  received  the 
affront  of  De  Lome.  The  latter  had 
hurt  himself  by  that  letter  more  than 
anyone  els.',  for  he  had  .shown  that  hf 
was  not  a  diplomat  of  the  first  class. 
He  will  ne/er  stand  again  in  the  courts 
of  the  woi*ld  as  he  stood  before.  He 
might  have  thought  these  things,  but  it 
was  undii)lomatic  to  trust  them  t<i 
paper. 

In  relaticm  to  the  Maine  disaster  the 
speaker  professed  ignorance  as  to  the 
cause.  Though  mines  have  been  .«et 
for  years  {.bout  Havana  harbor,  the  af- 
fair may  have  l)een  an  accident  a.- 
Spain  say>i.  The  government  has  dis- 
played great  patience  in  dealing  with 
this  matttr.  and  a  little  of  it  will  do 
well  until  the  facts  are  brought  out  by 
investigation.  The  president  will  see 
that  the  country's  honor  will  be  pro- 
tected. 

DANGER  IN    SODA. 


Serious    Results   Sometimes   Eollow 
its  Excessive  Lse. 

Common  soda  is  all  right  in  its  place 
and  indisiiensable  in  the  kitchen  and 
for  cooking  and  washing  purposes,  but 
it  was  never  intended  for  a  medicine, 
and  people  who  use  it  as  such  will  some 

day  regret  it. 

We  refer  to  the  common  use  of  soda 
t)  relieve  heartburn  or  sour  stomach,  a 
habit  whi^h  thousands  of  people  prac- 
tice almost  daily,  aid  one  which  is 
fraught  viith  danger;  moreover,  the 
soda  only  gives  tempoiary  relief,  and  in 
the  end  the  stomach  trouble  gets  worse 
and  worse. 

The  soda  acts  as  a  mechanical  irritant 
to  the  walls  of  the  stomach  and  bowels, 
and  case?  are  on  record  where  it  ac- 
cumulated in  the  intestines,  causing 
death  by  infiammation  or  peritonitis. 

Dr.  Harlandson  recommends  as  the 
safest  an<l  surest  cure  for  sour  stomach 
(acid  dyspepsia)  an  excellent  prepara- 
tion sold  by  druggists  under  the  name  of 
Stuart's  Dyspepsia  Tablets.  These  tab- 
lets are  large  20-grain  lozenges,  very 
pleasant  to  taste  and  contain  the  na- 
tural acids,  peptones  and  digestive  ele- 
ments e.'sential  to  good  digestion,  and 
when  taken  after  meals  they  digest  the 
food  perfectly  and  promptly  before  it 
has  time  to  ferment,  sour  and  poison  the 
blood  and  nerv  )us  system. 

Dr.  Wuerth  states  that  he  invariably 
u.ses  Stuart's  Dyspepsia  Tablets  in  all 
cases  of  stomach  derangements.andfind«| 
them  a  certain  cure  not  only  for  sour 
stomach,  but  by  promptly  digesting  the 
food  they  create  a  healthy  appetite,  in- 
crease flesh  and  strengthen  the  action 
of  the  heart  and  liver.  They  are  not  a 
cathartic,  but  intended  only  for  stomach 
diseases  and  weakness  and  will  be 
found  reliable  in  any  stomach  trouble, 
except  cancer  of  the  stomach.  All  drug- 
gists sell  Stuart's  Dyspepsia  tablets  at 
50  cents  per  package. 

A  little  book  describing  all  forms  of 
stomach  weakness  and  their  cure  mailed 
free  by  addressing  the  Stuart  company,

Ecclesiastics,  chapter  8,  verse  11:  "Be- 
cause sentence  agaiinst  an  evil  work 
is  not  executed  speedily,  therefore  the 
hearts  of  the  sons  of  men  is  emboldened 
to  do  evil."  Law  was  the  basis  of  so- 
ciety, that  on  which  the  safety  of  all 
depenc'ied.  Its  lax  enforcement  was  re- 
sponsible for  the  increa.se  of  crime,  in 
the  train  of  which  follows  lynchings 
and  other  disorders.  The  duty  of  the 
mayor  as  an  executive  was  to  enforce 
the  law.  not  make  or  alter  it  or  pass 
on  it  judicially.  The  enforcement  ot 
law  was  a  question  of  the  majesty  of 
government,  of  the  sacredness  of  that 
on  which  the  welfare  of  all  depends. 
Violate  the  law  in  one  point  and  the 
whole  was  injured. 

Rev.    Dr.    Cleland.   of  the   First   Pres- 
byt^^rlan    church,    .spoke    on    •Christian 
Citizenship:"  taking  for  his  text  Phill.. 
chapter  1,  verse  2:     "Let  your  citizen- 
ship  be   as   it   becovneth    the   gospel   ot 
Christ."     Christian  citizenship  interpre- 
ted   by   the   gospel    was   the    theme,    he 
said,    "it  should  be  especially  applied  tc 
municipal    righteousness,    although    the 
principles  were   of  general   application 
The  tendency  of  modern  life  was  urban 
and  in  1920,  it  is  estimated,   the  vote  of 
cities  will  decide  the  ballot  of  the  na- 
tion    Cities  have  always  wielded  great 
influence.      Made     of    man.      they      are 
marked    with    his    imperfections.      Ke- 
neath  the  surface  in  Duluth  there  was 
that    to    make     parents     tremble     and 
Christians    weep.      These    things    could 
only  be  cured  by  the  citizens  awaken- 
ing   to    their   responsibilities    as    Chris- 
tians.    The  people   have  as  good   laws, 
as  good   governor,    as   good    mayor     a.^ 
they   want.     Vice   would   flourish    imtil 
the  gospel  is  applied  by  its  believers. 

Rev  Dr.  Humanson.  at  the  First 
Methodist  church,  spoke  on  "American 
Citizenship;"  his  text  being  from  Psalm 
16  verse  6"  "The  lines  are  fallen  to  me 
in'  goodlv  places;  yes,  I  have  a  goodly 
heritage  "  George  Washington  was  the 
instrument  chosen  by  God  to  give  us 
our  goodlv  heritage.  Washington  s  un- 
selfishness and  self-sacrifice  gave  the 
American  nation,  and  through  it,  the 
world,  liberty.  When  selfishness,  vice 
and  greed  for  money  come  to  rule,  u 
is  time  to  arouse  ourselves,  relegate  to 
the  rear  our  so-called  statesmen  and 
put  into  the  hands  of  true  sons  of  Am- 
erica the  administration  of  the  Al- 
mighty's noble  bequest  to  us.  All  must 
be  made  to  obey  the  laws.  An  admis- 
sion of  the  right  of  any  citizen  not  to 
observe  them   was  a  step  on   the  road 

to  anarchy.  „     .,     x^   ■ 

Rev  Dr  Ryan,  at  St.  Paul  s  Episco- 
pal church,  spoke  on  "Civic  Unright- 
eousness." His  text  was  from  Pro- 
verbs, chapter  17.  verse  34:  "Righteous- 
ness exalteth  a  nation,  and  sin  is  a  re- 
proach to  any  people."  The  idea  of  God 
entered  into  all  relations.  Righteous- 
ness had  been  continued  and  energized 
by  religion.  The  belief  in  a  righteous 
GoO  has  posses.sed  all  men  of  broad 
view  The  fathers  of  jurisprudence 
recognized  that  all  human  rights  rested 
in  the  righteousness  of  God.  Religion 
stands  as  the  father  and  enforcer  ol 
righteousness.  There  was  an  idea  that 
there  was  one  code  of  morals  for  the 
man  of  God  and  another  for  the  busi- 
ness man  and  politician.  Triie 
morals  rest  on  the  facts 

of  life,  and  partake.  therefore, 
of  the  nature  of  facts  themselves.  The 
false  notion  that  to  the  victor  be  ongs 
the  spoils  justified  bribery  and  black- 
mail The  motive  power  for  the  clean- 
sing of  politics  must  come  from  outside 
of  politico— from  the  church,  mainly: 
from  societies  of  upright  men  banded 
for  the  right.  The  laws  ^should  be 
strictly  enforced  by  those  charged  with 
their  execution.  This  had  not  been  the 
case  here,  and  gambling,  the  social  vice 
and  other  evils  had  flourished  in  conse- 
quence. The  Christian  church  should 
assert  itself.  Matters  must  go  from  bad 
to  worse,  unless  the  high-minded  de- 
clare for  civic  righteousness. 


AMERICAN  GOLF  STICKS. 

Are  Now  Being  Sold  In    England    and 
Scotland. 

Washington,  Feb.  21.— If  ever  there 
seemed  to  be  a  case  of  carrying  coals 
to  Newcastle,  it  would  seem  to  he  the 
attempt  to  make'  golf  sticks  in  the 
I'nited  States  and  sell  them  in  Eng- 
land, yet  that  is  just  what  is  being 
done.  At  the  pretty  village  of  Hoy 
Lake,  a  suburb  of  Liverpool,  there  aie 
golf  links  that  are  famous  as  being  the 
oldest  and  among  the  best  in  England, 
the  game  being  l)rought  there  liy  the 
Scotch,  who  have  settled  in  large  num- 
bers in  the  locality.  For  a  number 
of  years  golf  sticks  made  at  Hoy  Lake 
have  been  exported  to  the  United 
States.  ,,      ^.  , 

QuiL"  recently,  however,  golf  sticks 
made  in  the  I'nited  States  have  been 
sent  to  England  and  their  arrival  has 
aroused  a  great  deal  of  comment. 
Within  a  few  weeks  one  Englishman 
resident  in  America  has  succeeded  in 
disposing  of  8000  golf  sticks  made  m 
the  I'nited  States  to  the  largest  deal- 
ers in  England  and  Scotland  as  well.

Former    Governor  of    Iowa   on   the 
Currency  Plan.  I 

■Des  Moines.  Iowa.  Feb.  21.— Ex-Gov- 
ernor Boies  has  sent  the  following  letter 
to  the  Leader,  replying  to  the  criticisms 
of  the  currency  plan  advocated  in  his 
recent  speech  at  Fairfield: 

"Many  of  my  critics  think  they  see  a 
yawning  abyss  in  the  plan  for  currency 
reform  outlined  in  my  Fairfield  address 
into  which  the  treasury  of  the  nation 
would  be  in  constant  danger  of  dropping 
if  the  plan  was  adopted. 

"Let  me  .see  if  1  can  quiet  that  fear. 
Suppose  (the  plan  being  in  force)  A 
brings  to  the  treasury  today  100  ounces 
of  silver  worth  in  the  worlds  markets 
50  cents  an  ounce.  He  would  receive 
for  it  $50  in  certificates  that  would 
after,  in  the  treasury  or  out.  be  ful 
legal  tender,  and  the  treasury  would 
receive  his  silver. 

"One  year  later  he  or  someone  else 
lirings  these  certificates  back  to  the 
treasury  for  redemption.  Silver  has 
doubled  in  value.  He  would  receive  for 
them  50  ounces  of  silver.  The  treasury 
would  own  his  certificates,  and  witl> 
these  or  some  other  $50  the  treasury 
would  purchase  in  the  open  market  fifty 
ounces  of  silver  and  cover  it  into  the 
treasury.  That  Avould  close  one  trans- 
action. What  is  the  result?  The  trea-s- 
urv  has  gained  fifty  ounces  of  silver. 
A  has  neither  gained  nor  lost  a  far- 
thing. 

"Multiply  similar  transactions  to  any 
extent  desired.  The  result  is  always 
the  same  on  a  rising  market.  The  treas- 
ury gains  the  rise.  Individuals  lose 
nothing.  No  pit  there.  Reverse  the 
market. 

"AATien  A  returns  with  his  certificates 
for  redemption  silver  has  fallen  25  cents 
an  ounce.  He  received  200  ounces  of 
silver  and  the  treasury  owns  his  certi- 
ficates. With  the.se  or  some  other 
equally  good  $50  dollars  the  treasurer 
immediately  buys  in  the  open  market 
200  ounces  of  silver  and  covers  into  the 
treasury.  This  closes  that  transac- 
tion. . 

"What  is  the  result?  The  treasury  ha^ 
neither  gained  nor  lost  a  grain  of  siU 
ver  nor  a  farthing  of  value.  Individuals 
have  neither  gained  nor  losfa  farthing 
of  value.    No  pit  there. 

"But  suppose  silver  is  cornered  in  the 
markets,  what  then?  Simply  redeem 
with  gold  and  buy  gold  instead  of  silver 
for   the   treasury. 

••\  world  of  work  this  buying  of  bul- 
lion with  which  to  redeem  certificates, 
someone  suggests. 

"Don't  worry.  There  would  be  no 
rush  for  the  redemption  of  these  certi- 
ficates any  more  than  there  is  now  for 
the  redemption  of  silver  certificates  with 
silver  dollars.  Every  bullion  certificate 
would  be  worth  more  to  every  man  out- 
side the  treasury  than  the  bullion  it 
would  represent.  But  what  of  the  cer- 
tificates, the  dollars  involved  in  these 
transactions?  In  all  the  years  of  ris- 
ing and  falling  of  prices  they  would  float 
along  the  channels  of  business  hand  in 
hand  vith  their  brothers  issued  for  gold, 
incapable  of  identiflcatian  among  any 
number  of  such,  always  .serene  as  the 
conscience  of  the  just,  for  they  would 
know  (or  would  if  they  could  think) 
that  whether  the  market  was  up  or 
down  there  would  always  be  behind 
them  their  exact  face  value  in  one  of 
the  other  money  metals. 

"Would    there   be   a   fluctuation   cur- 
rency?    Let  my  critics  try  again.

PERSONALS. 


A  second  ship  <  anal  will  be  cut  through 
Minnesota  Point  luring  the  coming  sea- 
son of  navigation.  The  work  will  not 
Ije  done  l)y  the  government,  but  by  a 
IiriVBite  corp<jration.  The  company  will 
be  organized  early  next  month,  its  pro- 
moters having  arrangKl  to  meet  in  the 
city  of  Washington  for  that  purpose  in 
alxjut  two  w  eeks.  The  incorporators  will 
be  men  who  own  large  quantities  of  real 
estate  on  Minnesota  Point,  and  some 
prominent  Minne.sota  contractors,  who 
h  iv»_-  been  interested  in  the  enterprise, 
and  who  will  do  the  dredging  and  build 
the  necessary  piers  and  cribs,  taking 
stock  in  the  ccfrnpany  in  part  payment. 

Plans  for  this  enterprise  have  been 
ii.rming  for  some  time  very  quietly,  and 
the  final  consummation  of  them  is  wait- 
ing for  the  return  of  a  numbt^r  of  gentle- 
men interested,  who  are  now  traveling 
in  the  South.  They  will  be  met  on  their 
return  in  Washington,  and  the  company 
will  in  all  probability  be  incorporated 
under  the  laws  of  the  state  of  New  Jer- 
sey. 

The  canal  will  be  dug  at  a  pomt  nearly 
opiwsite  the  swing  of  the  new  Duluth- 
."superior  bridge,  and  will  enable  vessels 
loaded  in  the  upper  bay  to  steer  a 
s:raight  course  for  the  lake  after  pass- 
ing through  the  bridge,  and  thus  avoid 
the  tim-;  and  expense  required  to  navi- 
gate around  the  eorn-r  of  Connor's 
Point  and  through  Duluth  harbor  to  the 
government  canal.  The  large  ore 
carriers  that  load  at  the  Mis- 
iidt".  docks  will  be  able  to  get 
nut  of  the  harbor  in  much  quicker  time 
by  the  new  canal  than  the  old  and  make 
u  big  saving  in  tug  bills  besides. 

The  new  canal  will  be  either  120  or  140

Washington,  Feb.  HI.— Justice  Brown 
handed  down  the  opinion  of  the  United 
States  supreme  court  today  in  the  case 
of  Kliztbeth  W'etzel  anJ  others  against 
the  Minnesota  Railway  and  Transfer 
company,  involving  title  to  160  acres  of 
land  within  the  limits  of  the  city  of  St. 
Paul. 

The  land  in  controversy  was  located 
upon  a  land  warrant  issued  in  1847  Iv) 
Mrs.  Welzel  and  minor  children,  as  the 
widow  and  heirs  of  a  man  named  Rem- 
sen,  who  had  served  in  the  Mexican 
war.  This  warrant  was  sold  to  a  man 
named  Taylor,  who  located  the  land.  It 
ippears,  however,  that  when  Mrs.  Wet- 
zel, then  Mrs.  Remsen,  made  the  sale  of 
the  warrant  she  did  not  have  the  con- 
sent of  the  orphans'  court  to  dispose  of 
the  interest  of  her  children. 

It  ai)pearing  that  the  title  of  present 
owner  had  not  been  attacked  until 
forty  years  after  the  transfer  was  made, 
the  court  held  that  it  was  now  too  late 
to  attack  It.  Justice  Brown  said  Iha: 
when  the  transfer  was  first  made  the 
land  involved  was  not  worth  to  exceed 
$200,  but  that  now,  being  covered  with 
buildings  and  other  Improvements,  it  was 
valued  at  not  less  than  $1,000,000. 

The-  purchasers  from  Taylor  had 
liought  under  his  patent  from  the  gov- 
ernment, and  the  court  thought  that 
under  all  the  circumstances,  and  esjv- 
eially  because  of  the  Laches  of  the  heirs, 
the  titles  should  not  be  dlsturl)ed.  Th" 
case  was  appealed  from  the  circuit  court 
of  appeals  of  the  Eighth  circuit.  The  de- 
cision of  that  court  was  against  Mrs. 
Wetzel,  and  Its  opinion  was  affirmed  by 
today's  decision. 

RICE  DECISION  REVERSED. 

Court   Did  Not   Refer   to   Anti-Trust 
Law. 

Washington,  Feb.  21.— In  the  case  of 
William  G.  Rice  and  others,  under  in- 
dictment in  Texas  for  violating  the  anti- 
trust law  in  that  state,  the  supreme 
court  of  the  lTnit«M  SUiles  today  held 
that  the  federal  circuit  court  had  in- 
terfered in  granting  a  habeas  corpus 
when  no  propei-  exigency  aro.se  for  such 
Interference,  and  reversed  the  decision. 
The  court  did  not  enter  upon  the  merits 
of  the  anti-trust  law.

WAS  NOT  A  LAWYER. 

Cleveland  Leader:  •Now.  "  said  the 
lawyer  who  was  conducting  thr  cross- 
examination,  •will  you  plr^-ase  state  how 
and  where  you  first  met  this  man'?  " 

"I  think.  "  said  the  lady  with  a  sharp 
nose,  "that  it  was  " 

"Nevej  mind  what  you  think."  inter- 
rupted the  lawyer.  "We  wan:  fa.is 
here.  We  don't  care  what  you  think,  anl 
we  haven't  any  time  to  waste  in  llsit-n- 
ing  t:>  what  you  think.  Now  please  tell 
us  where  and  when  it  was  that  you  first 
met  this  man?" 

The  witness  made  no  reply. 

"Come,  come,"  urged  the  lawT^r:  "I 
demand  an  answer  to  my  question." 

Still  no  response  from  the  witness. 

"Your  heinoi.  "  said  the  lawyei.  turn- 
ing to  the  ceiurt.  "I  think  I  am  entitled 
to  an  answer  tJ  the  question  I  have  put." 

"The  witness  will  plea=e  answer  :he 
question."  said  the  court  in  impressive 
tones. 

"Can't.''  said  the  lady. 
•Why  not'?" 

•The  court  de)esnt  care  to  hear  wh.it  I 
think,  does  it?" 

"No." 

•Then  there's  no  use  questioning  mc* 
any  further.  I  am  not  a  lawyer.  I  can't

beins  attracted  by  the  possibility  of  fur- 
ther debate  upon  Cuban  affairs. or  mat- 
tei-s  c»nnecteil  with  the  catastrophe  to 
the  battleship  Maine. 

The  joint  resolution  providinar  for  the  | 
recovery  of  the  bodies  of  officers  and 
men  from  the  wrecked  battleship 
Maine  and  the  recovery  of  valuable 
property  on  the  ship,  which  was  passed 
by  the  house  of  representatives  last 
week,  was  presented  to  the  senate  and 
passed  immediately.  It  carries  an  ap- 
propriation of  $200,000. 

Mr.  Hoar  (Massachusetts)  Introduced 
a  joint  resolution  directing  the  transfer 
of  valuable  historical  documents  from 
the  several  government  deijartments

fullowing:  "Resolved,  that  the  commit-

The  resolution  was  passed  immediately 
without  a  word  of  debate. 


MICHAELS  WILL  RETIRE. 

Bike    Champion    Rider    to    Become 
a  Horse  Jockey. 

St.  Louis,  Feb.  21.— The  Post  Dispatch 
today  says:  "The  Post  Dispatch  la  the 
only  paper  to  announce  the  retirement  of 
Jimmy  Michael,  the  'Welsh  Rarebit." 
the  greatest  rider  the  field  of  bicycling 
has  ever  kmwn.  The  papers  this  morn- 
ing announce  that  Michael  has  left  Chi- 
cago and  gone  to  Nesv  Ytnk,  but  they 
fail  t;>  giv<'  the  rea.-^on." 

From  an  inside  suuree  tl\e  Dispatch 
has  learnt'd  that  Michftel's  trip  to  New 
Vork  Is  for  the  .sole  purpos«>  of  entering 
the  employment  of  Phil  Dwyer  as  a 
jockey  and  riding  his  horses  this  .sea- 
son. 

Some  time  ago  a  rumor  was  atloat  that 
Dwyer  had  offere<l  Michael  a  handsome 
salary  to  quit  the  l)ike  for  the  race 
track,  but  the  suggestion  was  laughed 
at  at  the  time  and  the  idea  of  Michael 
taking  any  such  step  was  pronounceil 
ridiculous.  It  appears,  however,  that 
all  along  Michael  was  considering  the 
proposition,  und  on  Saturday  last  he  an- 
nounced to  his  nearest  friends  that  he 
was  out  of  the  bicycle  game  for  good 
and  that  he  was  going  to  New  York  to 
accept  the  offer  made  him  by  Phil 
Dwyer.  * 

George  MoLeisch,  Micjiael's  manager 
for  a  long  Avhile,  has  been  in  St.  Louis 
since  yesterday  with  Jim  Kennedy,  the 
famous  sporting  authority  of  New  York, 
but  has  refused  to  say  a  word  for 
Michael  or  his  friends.  It  is  said 
Michael  will  not  be  seen  on  the  Western 
or  Southern  circuits  of  bicycle  tracka 
this  year.

th^  effect  that  two  French  expedi- 
tions are  advancing  towards  Sokoto, 
capital  of  the  sultanate  of  that  name, 
v-hlch  is  within  the  British  influence, 
".aU  added  tliat  if  the  news  should  be 
<-i'nfirmed  it  must  be  followed  by  a 
declaration  of  war. 

The  St.  James  Gazette  this  afternoon 
commenting  says:  "If  the  invasion 
of  Sokoto  is  as  described  from  Paris, 
it  admits  of  but  one  interpretation  and 
the  seriousness  of  the  situation  is  in- 
creased when  it  is  remembered  the  in- 
\asion  cf  British  territory  must  have 
been  planned  weeks  ahead.  It  would 
appear  that  the  French  cabinet  for-^- 
seeing  the  relations  which  would  V>e 
caused  bv  the  trial  of  M.  Zola  had 
t'etermined  t  •  bring  affairs  in  West 
Africa  to  a  crisis  to  secure  a  renewal 
of  its  popularity." 


M.    Zola   was 
reached  the  court. 

The  advocvite  general  commenced  hla 
ialdress.  He  declared  that  M.  Zola's 
assertion  that  the  Esterhazy  court-mar- 
tial acquitted  a  guilty  person  in  ac- 
cordance with  superior  orders  remained 
entirely  unproved.  Maj.  Esterhazy,  he 
added,  could  not  be  the  author  of  the 
Bordereau,  and  he  protested  against 
certain  newspapers  accusing  officers  of 
seeking  to  overthrow  the  republic. 

In  conclusion  the  advocate  general 
expressed  confidence  that  the  jury  would 
condemn  M.  Zola  without  hesitation. 
The  session  of  the  ourt  was  then  sus- 
pended. 

When  the  session  was  resumed  M. 
Zola  read  an  address  to  the  court  in 
which  he  said  the  premier  "had  the  aid 
of  the  jury,  who  are  charged  to  avenge 
the  national  honor  to  find  me  guilty." 
(Loud  protests.) 

The  presiding  judge  said:  "You  can- 
not say  that  the  premier  has  given  an 
order  to  condemn  you." 

Continuing.  M.  Zola  said:  "Such 
proceedings  are  an  abominable  piec" 
of  political  manners.  I  have  never  in- 
sulted the  army  as  has  been  said.  Bui 
I  have  raised  a  cry  of  alarm,  and  I 
leavf  history  to  judge  me  and  to  .'ip- 
preciatt>  my  acts." 

"Those  who  dishonor  France,"  M. 
Zola  al.so  said,  "are  those  who  mingl'^ 
cries  of  'Vive  I'armee'  with  a  bas  les 
Juifes'  and  'Vive  Esterhazy*  after  the 
letters  he  has  written.  (Murmurs.)  If  I 
am  here  it  is  because  I  wished  it.  It 
is  I  who  asked  to  appear  before  you. 
who  are  the  voice  of  justice.  It  Is  for 
you,  gentlemen,  that  I  rai.se  the  cry  ol 
alarm  and  that  I  wish  to  bring  out  the 
truth,  perhaps  unsuccessfully,  but  her* 
I  stand  before  you  and  await  your  jus- 
tice." 

The  speech  of  the  distinguished  de- 
fendant was  constantly  interrupted  by 
hisses  and  protests. 


New  York,  Fel>.  21.— .V  dispatch 
the  Herald  from  Key  West  says: 
is  learned  from  what  may  be  considered 
a  semi-official  source  that  divers  .sent 
down  on  behalf  of  the  United  Stales 
to  examine  the  wreck  of  the  Maine  have 
made  a  preliminary  report  of  the  re- 
sult of  their  work.  Incredible  as  it 
may  .seem,  it  is  said  that  after  a  par- 
tial examination  of  the  magazine  of 
the  Maine  the  divers  report  that  the 
one  in  which  the  explosion  i»  supposed 
to   have   occurred    is   intact.

BLOWN  10  RIBBONS. 


Strong    Suspicions     That     Damage 
Came  From  Outside. 

New  York.  Feb.  21.— A  dispatch  to  the 
Tribune  from  Havana  says:  The  Maine 
is  actually  in  ribbons,  but  enough  of 
the  vessel  remains  to  make  possible  a 
determination  of  whether  the  explosion 
came  from  without  or  within.  The 
ollicers  of  the  Maine  do  not  publicly 
di.«cuss  the  theory  of  a  submarine  mine 
which  may  have  been  set  off  by  ex- 
plosion, but  it  evidently  has  weight 
with    them.  They    are    particularly 

anxiius  for  points  to  be  gathered  from 
the  examination  of  the  plates  of  the 
hull.  Their  belief  is  that  these  will  have 
to  establish  whether  the  explosive 
force  came  from  without  or  not.  The 
nature  of  the  damage  to  the  i>ort  side 
has  not  been  fully  settled,  but  the  weight 
of  opinion  seems  to  be  that  the  hole  was 
made  by  an  external  explosion.  Capt. 
Sigsbee  thinks  that  the  investigation  to 
be  made  liy  him  will  be  completed  in 
three  days  and  the  result  laid  before  the 
court  of  inquiry. 


GMTERS  IN  STYLE.

Cold  to  Women. 

Kecent  statemt  nts  by  physicians  that, 
in  their  opinion,  the  majority  of  women 
Contract  cold  through  the  ankles  mor>- 
easily  than  thmugh  any  part  of  the  body 
has  caused  a  big  Increase  in  the  number 
ol  overgalti  18  sold  during  the  last  few 
weeks,  says  the  Phihult  Iphla  Times. 

One  of  »'liilailel|ihla's  slioemakers  told 
ine  he  had  iinver  sold  so  many  gaiters  to 
women  before,  and  ihiit  ilir  demand  hml 
eome  upon  liiin  ho  siiddi-iily  and  imex- 
pecteilly  that  for  a  few  days  he  had  U-e.i 
M.ry  much  lushtd  to  me.t  it. 

NVhtn  1  iisked  his  opinion  of  the  cause 
of  the  new  fad,  he  .said:  "The  bicycle 
j<)oot.  Women  who  rid»«  a  wheel  and  wh  t 
have  become  aciustonud  Id  the  sup|)ort 
and  protection  of  a  bii-yi-le  boot  have 
luen  sensible  emaigh  to  appreciate  its 
good  quali:les.  Hut.  of  cour.se.  with  a 
handsome  tailor-made  gown  a  bicycle 
boot  is  out  of  the  question,  and  conse- 
quently it  was  necessaiy  to  ttnd  a  sub- 
stitute for  the  clumsy  leather  covering. 
I  do  not  mean  to  say  that  the  bicycle 
lH)ot  is  clumsy.  On  the  wheel  it  in 
everything  that  can  be  desired,  Init  when 
you  add  th '  weight  of  a  heavy  silk-lined 
cloth  skirt  and  under  i>eLtieoats  to  the 
b,>ot  it  makes  walking  anything  but  a 
comfort. 

"Then,  again,  there  are  many  women 
who  have  u  horror  of  a  wheel,  and  would 
not  don  a  single  articli'  connected  with

"Women  s  skirts,  no  matter  how  clev- 
erly manijiulated,  are  bound  to  become 
more  or  Uss  damp,  and  will  naturally 
rub  up  against  the  slocking.  If  a  wo-

"Now.  in  order  to  get  over  this  last

gaiters  this  winter  of  heavy  ribbed  silk, 
black,  as  i  rule,  lined  with  thin  wool, 
and  fitted  carefully  over  the  instep  and 
ankle.  The  gaiter  is  <  ut  high  and  fits 
perfectly.  It  is  very  modish  and  swell, 
and  has  taken  wonderfully.  We  make  a 
cheaper  grade  in  black  cloth,  and  also 
some  in  pretty  soft  tan  and  mode  shades, 
but  these  do  not  sell  so  rt.idily,  for  a  foot

"So  to  h^  swell,  the  up-to-date  woman 
must  don  a  i)air  of  these  gaiters,  and, 
apart  fron:  their  Iieing  just  the  thing,  the 
comfort  she  will   derive   from   them  will 

make  her  regret  that  she  has  not  used 

them  before."

A  FAMOUS  HYMN. 
At  the  close  of  the  morning  service 
yesterday  at  the  First  Baptist  church, 
Mrs  Noyes  sang  the  well-known  hymn 
"Abide  With  Me.  Fast  Falls  the  Even- 
tide." This  hymn  has  an  interesting 
history.  The  words  were  written  by 
Henry  Francis  Lyte,  a  clerg>-man.  born 
in  Scotland  in  1793.  Dr.  Lyte  became 
famous  as  a  writer  of  hymns  and  other 
reQigious  literature.  He  was  a  man  of 
delicate  constitution,  and  when  only  50 
years  of  age,  retired  from  active  ser- 
vice in  the  pulpit,  as  a  result  of  failing 
health.  On  a  subsequent  occasion  his 
old  parish  was  in  need  of  a  clergyman 
to  fill  a  temporary  engagement  and  Dr. 
Lyte.  though  feeble,  responded  to  the 
call  As  a  result  he  took  to  his 
for  the  last  time.  While  waiting 
I  tiently  for  the  final  summons 
wrote  the  hymn.

NO   PLA-CE   FOR  A   CELLAR. 
Chicago   News:     Johnnie,   aged  6. 
cently  attended  church  and  after 
ing   attentively    to   a    discourse   on    the 
parable  of  the  wise  and  foolish  house- 
builders  said  to  his  motner  on  the  way 
home;      "I   don't   think   the   man     who 
built  his  house  on  the  rock  was  so  very 
wise  after  all."     "And   why   not,  John- 
nie''"   a.sked    his    mother.       "Because, 
answered    the       young     observer,        he 
wouldn't  have  any  place  for  a  cellar. 


amid 
Consider  the  fas- 
cination of  traveling  in  four  hours  down 
a  watery  toboggan  slide  from  the  snow- 
clad  icy  peaks  of  the  tallest  Sierris 
down  into  a  valley  as  balmy  as  a  May 
morning,  and  amid  vegetation  as  fresh 
and  luxuriant  as  in  midsummer.  No- 
where in  the  broad  world  may  such  an 
experience   be   duplicated. 

Flumes,  by  which  cut  lumber  or  logs 
may  be  floated  from  the  forests  prime- 
val, and  the  sawmills  on  the  spurs  of 
the  Sierra  Nevada  i-ange  down  to  the 
valley's  below,  are  common  <m  this  coast 
from  San  Diego  to  Vancouver.  They 
are  built  upon  huge  trestles  and  vary 
in  height  from  ten  to  100  feet,  depending 
upon  the  level  countiy  traversed.  All 
the  flumes  are  V-shaped  and  the  water 
flowing  through  is  a  yard  deep  at  the 
deepest  part. 

The  flume  boats  in  which  the  rapid 
journeys  are  made  down  the  flumes 
are  simple.  They  are  made  the  shape 
of  the  V-boxes  of  the  flumes.  The  up- 
per end  of  the  boa.ts  are  closed  l)y  a 
board  nailed  across,  but  left  open  to  let 
out  the  water  which  splashes  over  the 
sides  of  the  boat  from  time  to  time. 
Short  boards  are  laid  across  for  seats, 
depending  upon  how  many  persons  ar:; 
to  make  the  journey.  A  carpenter  can 
make  one  of  these  boats  in  half  an  hour. 
The  boat  is  meant  for  only  one  journey, 
for  none  is  ever  hauled  back  for  another 
voyage.  Only  a  little  preparation  is 
necessary  for  a  trip  of  this  kind,  and 
half  a  dollar  will  buy  enough  lumber 
for  a  boat,  and  a  man  is  a  poor  carp-n- 
ter  indeed  who  cannot  make  his  own 
vessel.  The  trip  is  made  with  littK- 
danger— at  least  in  this  Fresno  county 
flume.  The  principal  trouble  is  that 
when  one--  started  there  are  few  places 
where  one  can  stop.  The  current  is 
generally  so  rapid  that  it  makes  land- 
ing impossible,  and  the  voyager  can 
onlv  sit  still  and  let  the  boat  run. 

After  a  cold  night  was  passed  on  the 
bank  of  the  reservoir,  with  a  pile  of 
shavings  for  a  bed  and  an  overcoat  or 
two  for  blankets,  th-  start  Avas  mad'. 
The  mountains  in  that  high  altitude 
were  frosty,  the  ground  frozen  hard  and 
the  ice  nearly  thick  enough  to  bear  a 
man's  weight.  For  some  time  the 
weather  had  been  cloudy,  but  on  this 
particular  morning  the  sky  was  clear 
and  Ijeautiful  and  the  tops  of  the  giant 
pines  were  touched  with  the  gold  of  Ihe 
lising  sun  almost  before  one  on  the 
ground  knew  that  day  had  come. 

The  guns,  traps  and  equipage  were 
placed  in  the  boat,  and  when  all  things 
were  ready  the  boat  was  lifted  into  the 
flume,  and  was  held  until  the  two  pas- 
sengers could  get  aboard.  The  sides  of 
the  flume  were  covered  with  ice.  caused 
by  the  cold  night  and  the  splashing 
water.  Scarcely  had  the  boat  touched 
the  current  before  its  edges  also  were 
slippery  with  ice.  That  was  no  matter 
and  in  a  second  or  so  the  boat,  with 
its  passengers,  was  sweeping  down  the 
tmugh  of  water,  and  trees  were  spin- 
ning past  so  rapidly  that  they  seemed 
almost  like  the  spokes  of  a  swift  whe^l. 
The  passenger  does  not  realize  just 
how  he  gets  into  the  boat  nor  how  he 
makes  the  start.  It  is  allgiover  before 
he  has  time  to  think.  Ht  has  an  un- 
governable desire  to  clutch  at  things, 
but  before  he  can  do  so  he  is  gone,  and 
the  speed  makes  him  catch  his  breath, 
and  that  is  all  he  can  do.  The  start  has 
been  made,  and  it  might  be  a  race  to 
the  finish.  If  one  should  attempt  to 
stop  when  the  speed  is  so  great  it 
would  result  In  something  serious.  Ev-;n 
if  he  should  see  a  broken  place  ahead 
of  him.  where  the  flume  has  gone  over  a 
precipice,  he  would  not  stop,  but  must 
run  into  it  and  take  the  consequences. 
Such  a  mishap  is  not  likely,  but  it  is 
possible.  There  are  places  here  and 
tf  ere  where  the  flume  passes  over  more 
nearly  level  and  the  current  is  corres- 
pondingly slow,  and  a  person  can  spring 
out  and  let  the  boat  go;  or  he  might, 
when  safely  out,  run  along  the  foot 
plank  and,  by  holding  the  boat,  bring 
that  to  a  stop  also.  But  in  the  steep?st 
places  a  man  could  not  run  fast  enough 
to  keep  up  with  the  boat. 

Before  the  passenger  has  time  to  look 
back  or  forward  or  to  ask  any  ques- 
tions he  has  run  the  first  half  mile  and 
is  sweeping  around  a  curve,  which  opens 
to  his  sight  a  vision  not  pleasant  to 
contemplate.  The  flume  passes  between 
two  walls  of  rock  and  then  out  along  the 
face  of  a  solid  rock,  forming  the 
of  Stephenson  mountain.  If  one 
look  down  while  speeding  across 
giddy  height  he  will  see  beneath 
the  canyon  of  the  creek,  deep 
the  shadows  of 
with  the  depths, 
flying  through 
ment  till 


would   be  hard   to  guess.     U   look 
less  than  SOOO  feet;   It  may  be  less. 

The  passenger  cannot  look  twice  at 
the  scene.  The  next  minute  he  has 
passed  again  into  the  timber;  then 
comes  curve  after  curve  around  a  rocky 
mountain,  and  after  a  little  while  the 
canyon,  which  had  seemed  so  nearly

metal  roofs  and  glancing  from  th-  dome 
of  the  court  house,  so  far  away  that  it 
seems  only  a  speck  of  light.  The  sun 
by  this  time  has  also  risen  above  the 
ridges,  and  its  warmth  falls  gracefully 
upon  the  chilled  aJi<l  Ixnumbed  passen- 
gers in  the  little  boat. 

Although  the  roughest  parts  of  the 
mountains  are  left  behind  after  the  head 
of  Dry  creek  is  reached,  the  flume  has 
still  some  of  its  steepest  grades  bel.)W

varying  from  a  hardly  perceptible  grade 
to  as  much  as  one  foot  in  height.  Down 
the  steepest  places  the  boat  rushes  at 
a  speed  which  approaches  very  nearlv 
the  limit  of  safety.  Within  five  or  six 
miles  farther  the  flume  sweeps  around 
the  brink  of  a  high,  bold  granite  cliff, 
and  two  miles  away  and  2000  feet  be- 
low the  little  village  of  Toil  House 
bursts  into  view.  Green  fields  surround 
it  even  in  winter,  but  it  has  a  forsaken 
appearance,  for  its  days  of  prosperity 
are  numbered.  It  was  for  thirty  years 
a  stopping  place  for  t- amsters  hauling 
lumber  from  the  mountains,  but  the 
flume  will  lirrng  lumber  down  hereafter 
and  the  teams  will  never  return.

nothing  to  alarm  them,  as  they  glid- 
along  so  smoothly  and  peacefully  that 
if  they  shut  their  eyes  they  would 
probably  fall  asleep.  The  speed  grow^ 
less  as  the  plains  are  approached,  and 
now  and  then  vineyards  or  an  orange 
orchard  are  seen  standing  in  pleasing 
contrast  with  the  ice  and  water  coldness 
of  the  mountains  now  4000  feet  above. 
From  th-  foot  of  the  hills  the  distance

is  aibout  twelve  miles,  and  the  speed 
lessens  all  the  time.  Before  the  end 
is  reached  the  flume  boat  passes 
flue  vinevards  in  which,  even  s.i

a  license  for  the  marriage  of  Miss  Susan 
A.  Denehy  to  Thomas  H.  Keliher,  says 
the  New  York  World. 

Keliher  and  Miss  Denehy  were  en- 
gaged to  be  married,  and  in  a  jealous 
quarrel  at  her  home  last  August  Miss 
Denehy  threw  vitrol  in  Keliher's  face. 
He  suffered  terribly  and  lost  the  sight 
of  both  eyes,  and  his  face  was  terribly 
diflgured. 

Miss  Denehy  was  to  have  been  tried 
at  Salem  yesterday,  but  the  case  was 
continued  until  next  Monday.  The  pro- 
ceedings will  be  dropped  now.

The  plase  just  l>ehjnd  was  one  of  the 
most  perilous  in  the  flume.  In  building 
the  structure  the  workmen  could  not 
find  footing,  and  were  let  down  by  ropes 
from  the  brink  of  the  cliff  above,  and 
thus  they  hung  while  with  hammer 
and  drill  they  cut  holes  in  the  solid 
rock,  and  made  anchorages  in  which 
to  hang  the  flume.  Now  it  rests  there

Referee's  Decision  In  Case  of  Cong- 
don  vs.  Mallett. 

Poui  I- J.  Xtfi".  to  whom  ih'^  iia!\nei'sliii> 
lisj  ute  of  Chestir  A.  (.' mgdon  again -si 
i;.  1>.  Mallet:  was  referred  to  report 
judr^mtnt.  filed  his  tindings  in  ilistiin 
.'-urt  this  morning,  am:  judgmtnt  wa.- 
tnttied  in  accordance  with  his  conclu^ 
sions.  The  original  plainiiff  in  the  ca.-.^ 
was  Jiihn  Kice.  who  died  sonie  time  agi>. 
leavmg  his  property  to  his  wife.  Th 
wife  also  died,  and  the  interests  went  to 
htr  m.ither.  Jane  Lucas,  who  transfeir.d 
th.m  to  the  lectnt  plaintiff. 

Tht  rtferte's  findings  are  to  the  effect 
that  Rice  and  Mallett  t'oiir.ed  a  partner- 
ship in  the  luml»tr  business  in  Luding- 
ton.  Mich.,  in  18S1.  by  the  terms  of  which 
Mallett  was  to  hold  all  of  the  property 
in  trust  in  his  name,  and  Rice  was  to 
a;et  a  nuarttr  of  Che  profits  and  Mallett 
•hrc. -quartets.  In  1SS3  they  moved  to 
Duluth,  and  the  partnershiji  was  con- 
tinued en  the  same  terms.  During  th.» 
life  of  the  firm  it  ac  luired  a  gixid  deal 
of  property  in  this  stite  and  in  Michi- 
gan, and  it  was  all  held  in  Malle:t'< 
name.  In  addition  to  the  pine  lands 
there  was  some  in  section  2j,  26  and  2  7- 
Co-12.  containing  iron  deposits,  whicii 
were  held  in  the  same  way.  This  prop- 
erty ancT  some  of  the  other  property  was 
transftrred  by  Mallett  to  his  wife. 
Afterwards  there  were  leases,  one  on  the 
land  in  section  26  to  the  Home  Iron  Land 
c  mpany  at  a  royalty  of  40  cents  per 
ton.  The  land  in  section  2a  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  North  Star  Mining  company 
for  $25,000  in  stock  of  the  company,  and 
a  lease  of  the  land  in  section  27  was  sold 
t:i  the  Zenith  Iron  comp.in.v  for  2000 
shares  of  stock,  which  were  sold  for 
$500'. 

The  referee  finds  that  after  deducting 
all  of  the  money  due  from  the  firm  to 
Mallett.  who  seems  to  have  furnish,  d 
what  capital  that  did  noi  come  out  of 
the  transactions  of  the  tiim.  the  Rice 
estate  is  indebted  to  Mallett.  but  that  it 
is  not  necessary  to  determine  In  what 
sum.  as  C  mgdon  Has  purchased  from 
•Mallett  all  his  claim  against  the  Rice 
estate.  It  is  found  that  plaintiff  is  en- 
litlec  to  judgment  for  a  quarter  of  all  of 
the  property  held  by  Mallett  for  the  firm, 
including  the  leases  and  stock. 

Drape;  &  Davis,  who  were  j)ttorni-y> 
fcr  Rice  in  the  original  suit  in  which 
he  was  plaintiff,  this  morning  fded  no- 
tice of  a  claim  of  $2750  as  attorneys'  fe  .p. 
which,  they  say.  are  a  lien  on  the  prop- 
erty held  by  Mallett.

Tiie  Viaduct  Findings. 

To  the  Editor  of  The  Herald: 

At  your  request.  I  make  the  follow- 
ing statement:  It  was  the  agreement 
with  the  reporters  for  The  Herald  and 
Xews  Tribune  that  until  Judge  Ensign 
signed  the  findings  in  the  viaduct  case, 
no  public  use  should  be  made  by  them 
of  the  draft  received  from  me. 

The  Herald  interview  of  Wednesday 
was  therefore,  substantially  correct, 
and  was  given  to  explain  the  unexpect- 
ed use  made  of  them  in  the  News  Tri- 
bune. It  is  therefore  incorrect  to  claim 
that  it  was  "provoked"  by  The  Herald. 

The  statements  in  the  Xews  Tribune 
editf>rials  are  evidently  made  on  inac- 
curate information  of  the  real  agree- 
ment made.  My  recollection  is  that 
both  papers  received  the  drafts  of  find- 
ings on  Monday  afternoon,  and  that  copy 
was  first  delivered  to  The  Herald.

WILL  INCREASE  1R4VEL. 


Cut  In  Rates  to  Coast  Will  Have  That 
Effect. 

The  unprecedentedly  low  rates  now  in 
force  to  Pacific  coast  point.s  has  had 
the  immediate  effect  of  increasing 
travel,  and  i.iquiries  from  intending 
pa.ssengers  are  more  numerous  than 
ever  at  the  different  ticket  offices  today. 
It  was  rumored  that  the  $25  and  $20 
late  to  Seattle  had  l)een  still  further  re- 
duced, but  the  report  is  evidently  with- 
out foundation  for  buyers  can  be  seen 
at  the  ticket  otflces  at  almost  any  time 
paying  the  open  rate  for  tickets.  Many 
of  those  leaving  for  the  coast  now  have 
no  intention  of  going  to  Alaska,  but  arc 
taking  advantage  of  the  cheap  rates  in 
order   to    visit    the    Western    country.

Auditor  Haltlen  Endorses  His  Opinion 
of  Eorfeited  Tax  Law,  j 

"I  am  glad  to  see  that  Mayor  Truelsen  ' 
has  taken  a  stand  on  the  forfeited  tax 
law,"  said  C nmty  Auditor  Halden  this, 
morning,   "and  I  heartily  commend  his  : 
remarks  on  that  subject  in  a  recent  in- 
I  ter\iew.     He  .states  that  he  is  opposed  | 
to  the  law,  and  that  every  effort  sht)Uld  : 
'>o'  made  to  have  it  repealed  at  the  next  ! 
session  of  the  legislature.     The  law  is  a 
bad  one  for  this  county,  though  some  of  ■ 
it!--  provisions  would  be  good  were  they  \ 
unaccompanied     by     the     objectionable 
features.     Ft  r  one  thing,  the  law  prac- 
tically   stops      the    machinery    of      the 
( ounty.     Ne>:t  month  judgment  will   be 
entered  under  the  law  against  all  prop-  ' 
erty  on  whici  taxes  are  delinquent,  and 
from  that  time  until  the  sale,  practically  : 
a  whole  year   everything  will  stop.  I 

"Another  feature  that  has  been  1 
touched  upon  before  is  that  which  the 
Ir.w  was  on  its  face  supposed  to  en- 
courage the  payment  of  taxes  by  per- 
mitting payment  without  penalties  and 
interest,  it  does  nothing  of  the  kind. 
The  law  provides  that  at  the  sale  all 
lard  embraced  in  the  forfeited  sale  list 
that  has  just  l)een  published  is  to  be 
sold  to  the  liighest  bidder,  but  it  pro- 
vides that  the  least  amount  for  which 
any  one  piece  may  be  sold  is  the  cDst  of 
I>roceedings,  together  with  the  amount 
of  the  state  tax.  As  the  state  tax  is 
about  one-tenth  of  the  whole,  there  is 
a  chance  that  instead  of  getting  off 
without  penalties  and  interest,  the  prop- 
erty owner  \iill  get  off  by  paying  one- 
ti  nth  of  the  original  taxes.  Thus  it  is 
that  many  attorneys  and  agents  here 
arc  advising  their  clients  not  to  pay 
their  taxes,  as  they  themselves  are  not. 
because  they  can  buy  their  property  in 
ac  the  .-ale  for  little  or  nothing." 


Mayor  Declines  This  Time. 

The  mayor  has  received  a  telegram 
from  the  New  York  Journal  asking  him 
to  accept  a  membership  on  a  national 
committee  to  raise  a  fund  to  build  a 
monument  to  the  men  who  died  on  the 
Maine,  and  to  head  a  local  committee 
for  that  purpose.  The  mayor  has  re- 
plied commending  the  enterprise,  but 
saying  that  his  duties  will  not  permit 
him  to  accept  the  invitation.  The 
Journal  telegram  states  that  although 
the  idea  was  suggested  only  on  Satur- 
day, hundreds  of  subscriptions  had  al- 
ready been  received  and  it  was  expect- 
ed lo  complete  the  fund  in  sixty  days.

The  Wiscon-^'in  Central  train  has  been 
delayed  still  iDnger.  The  Northerrk 
Pacific  train  came  over  from  Ashland 
this  mornin?  without  waiting  for  it. 
The  Duluth.  South  Shore  &  .\tlantic 
train  arrived  here  one  hour  and  thirty

HFEDED  NOT  THE  BOMB. 

Havana    Masquerade    Only    Partially

Havana,  Feb.  ::i.— At  about  midnight 
last  night,  while  a  masquerade  l)all  was 
in  progress  a:  the  Irijoa  theater,  a  bomb 
WIS  exploded  on  the  second  lloor,  de- 
siroying  wintlow  blinds  and  the  roof  and 
wounding  a  lawyi-r  named  Pou  and  hi.s 
father  and  f.vo  other  persins.  The  ex- 
rlosion  caused  great  confusion,  and 
many  of  the  masqueraders  abandoned 
the  theater.  Others,  however,  continued 
dincing.

Canadian  Pacific  Thrown   Out  of   the 
Clearing  House. 

Chicago,  Feb.  21.— Western  roads  have 
assumed  the  aggressive  in  the  war  with 
the  Canadian  Pacific  road.  They  have 
thrown  that  road  out  of  the  Wt^stern 
immigrant   clearing  house. 

The  effect  of  this  action  will  lie  that 
the  Canadian  Pacific  will  be  shut  out 
from  any  participation  in  immigrant 
traffic  arriving  at  New  York  or  Uoston. 

Acting  in  harmony  with  this  action  of 
the  WesttM'n  roads,  the  trans-Atlantic 
steamship  lines  which  are  partitas  to  the 
imtnigrant  agreement  with  the  We>stern 
roads  have  cabled  their  agents  in  Eu- 
rope and  wired  throughout  the  North- 
west not  to  sell  any  tickets  or  prepared 
orders  calling  for  tickets  over  the  Can- 
adian Pacific.  These  instructions  ap- 
pl.v  to  all  immigrant  business  irrespec- 
tive of  where  it  ori.ginates  or  in  what 
direction  it  may  be  moving,  whethei 
east  or  west.  The  Southern  Pacific  road 
is  also  a  party  to  this  boycott  so  that 
the  Canadian  Pacific  has  left  itself 
without   friends. 

As  a  result  of  this  action  the  Canadian 
Pacific  will  have  to  rely  on  traffic  ar- 
riving at  Portland,  Maine,  or  Canadian 
ports    for    its    immigrant    business. 

The  Western  roads  have  also  ma  le 
application  at  Washington  to  the  in- 
terstate commerce  commission  for  a 
suspension  of  the  long  and  short  haul 
clause  of  the  interstate  commerce  act 
so  far  as  trans-continental  passenger 
rates  are  concerned. 

This  action  was  taken  in  order  to  save 
their  intermediate  rates  in  their  con- 
fiict  with  the  Canadian  Pacific  road  over 
trans-i'ontinental    business.

Chicago,  Feb.  22.— The  Journal  has  the 
following  special  from  Washington: 
•Should  it  be  proved  that  the  Maine 
was  destroyed  by  an  out.=iide  explosion 
with  the  knowledge  of  Spanish  officials 
President  McKinlev  will  demand  an  in- 
demnity of  from  $1^,000,000  to  $1.-),000.-

This  statement  was  made  today  by  an 
officer  of  the  navy  department  who  i^■ 
thoroughly  conversant  with  the  present 
Si)anish  situation. 

It  was  de<Mded  at  the  conference  ot 
the  president  and  several  cabinet  offi- 
cers today,  that  the  Spanish  govern- 
ment was  bound  to  protect  the  vessek 
of  a  friendly  nation  in  one  of  its  har- 
bors, and  that  if  the  Maine  was  de- 
stroyed by  a  submarine  mine  or  tor- 
pedo, whether  with  the  knowledge  of 
the  officials  or  not.  that  government 
must  be  responsil)le.  The  value  of  the 
vessel  is  estimated  at  $.'>,000,000.  The 
rest  is  to  l)e  paid  to  relatives  of  offi-

Maine's  Divers   Say    It   Was   Some- 
thing Frightful. 

Havana,  Feb.  22.— Consul  General 
Lee  and  the  members  of  the  United 
States  court  of  inquiry  into  the  loss 
of  the  Maine,  called  this  morning  up- 
on Capt.  Gen.  Blanco  and  Admiral 
Manterola.  When  these  ceremonies 
were  ended  the  court  returned  to  the 
United  States  lighthouse  tender  Man- 
grove and  i-esumed  its  sessions. 

It  is  believed  that  a  number  of  bodies 
will  be  recovered  from  the  forward 
part  of  the  Maine  today.  A  majority 
of  the  remains  are  said  to  have  been 
mutilated  in  the  struggle  for  life, 
which  the  divers  say  must  have  been 
frightful. 

It  is  announced  that  1600  Spanish 
regular  troops  arrived  at  Santiago  do 
Cuba  on  Saturday. 

The  military  commander  of  Guana- 
bacoa  has  ordered  the  suspension  of 
public  festivities  as  a  mark  of  respect 
to  the  memory  of  the  Maine's  dead. 
The  prohibition  will  continue  for  three 
days.

Old  Time   Diver  Who   Helped   Raise 
the  Monitor. 

St.  Louis,  FelJ.  22.— Capt.  J.  T.  Guyre 
for  more   than   thirty  years  a  diver  in 
both  .<?alt  and  fresh  water,   who  helped 
to  raise  the  Milwaukee,  a  double  turret 
ed  monitor  sunk  by  a  torpedo  in  Mol>il( 
bay  at  the  time  of  the  civil  war,  thinks 
the    Maine    can    be     saved.        He    said: 
"There  is  no  question     about  the  feasi- 
bility of  laislng  the  Maine,   if  she  har 
enough  of  her  hull  clinging  together  to 
stand  patching.     There  is  also  no  ques- 
tion about   the  divers  l)eing  able  to  de- 
termine  whether   the   Maine   was   sunk 
by  a  torpedo  or  just  what  caused  the  ex- 
plosion." Capt.  Guyre  told  of  the  work 
of    raising    the    Milwaukee    which     was 
wrecked  in  about  the  same  way  as  thi 
Maine  and  lay  in  about  the  same  posi 
tion.

Minneapoli.s,  Feb.  22.— (Special  to  The

Two    Bike  Race  Managers  Talk  of 
Michael. 

St.  Louis,  Feb.  22. — George  McLeish, 
manager  of  Jimmy  Michael,  who  is  said 
to  have  quit  the  wheel  to  take  a  posi- 
tion with  Phil  Dwyer,  the  famous  turf 
man,  as  jockey,  is  here  with  James  C. 
Kennedy,  who  had  cliarge  of  the  6-day 
bike  race  in  New  York. 

In  an  interview  Mr.  McLeish  says:  "I 
was  afraid  Michael  was  gt)ing  to  nlake 
such  a  break  as  he  ha.s  made,  and  I 
advised  him  not  to  do  it.  I  showed  him 
only  last  week  that  his  earnings  on  the 
cinder  path  next  sea.son  would  foot  up 
120,000.  but  even  that  di"!  not  seem  to 
sati-sfy  him.  He  appeared  daft  on  the 
subject  of  being  a  jockey.  Well.  I  think 
he  has  made  a  great  mistake.  Perhaps 
he  has  not,  but  time  will  tell." 

Mr.  Kennedy  said:  "I  expected  him 
to  go  and  do  just  what  he  ha.«!  done.  I 
spent  twj  or  three  hours  arguing  the 
poiat  with  him  at  a  hotel  at  Chicago  last 
week. 

"The  facts  are  that  during  a  visit  to 
New  York  city  Michael  met  Phil  Dwyer, 
the  famous  turf  man.  Dwyer  dwelt  on 
the  success  .scored  l)y  Tod  Sloane  in 
England,  and  pictured  Michael  just  as 
Kucceasful  if  he  would  only  quit  the 
cinder  path  for  the  race  track.  In  a  jest, 
I  think,  but  Michael  believes  he  was  in 
earnest,  Dwyer  offered  Michael  a  salary 
of  $10,000  a  year  and  pickings,  and  fig- 
ured where  the  little  fellow  could  clear 
nearly  $50,000  on  his  seasDn's  work.  That 
proposition,  bona  fide  or  not,  turned. 
Michael's  head,  and  ever  since  his  ar- 
rival in  Chicago  two  weeks  ago  he  has 
been  talking  of  going  on  East  and  ac- 
cepting Dwyer's  offer."

local  agent  of  the  Snow  and  Ice  Trans- 
portation company,  and  his  assistant, 
Philip  Hanna,  have  been  arrested, 
charged  with  obtaining  money  under

claims  that  the  company  has  not  car- 
ried out  its  contract  with  her.  Joseph 
Ladue,  the  well  known  Alaska  miner,

he  has  no  connection  with  the  Snow

The  company  advertised  to  take  pas-

Spanish  at  Havana  Cable  That  News 
to  Spain. 

New  York,  Feb.  22.— A  dispatch  to 
the  World  from  Madrid  says:  The 
Spanish  admiral  commanding  at  Havana 
telegraphs  that  the  Spanish  oflficial  in- 
vestigation into  the  oatastronhe  to  the 
Maine  has  terminated,  and  that  the  first 
exploration  made  by  official  divers  has 
shown,  up  to  the  present,  that  the  dis- 
aster was  quite  accidental  and  was  not 
produced  by  any  exterior  cause. 

Premier  Sagasta  in  pers^on  conveyed 
the  oflficial  telegram  to  the  palace  and 
the  queen  regent  expressed  satisfaction 
on  hearing  the  result  of  the  investiga- 
tion. 

The  queen  w^ill  give  an  audience  at

NO  CUBAN  DID  IT. 

America's   Strength    Lies   Safety 
For  Cuba. 

Cleveland,  Ohio,  Feb.  22— Senor  Di- 
Arngo,  a  prominent  Cuban  and  a  mem- 
ber of  the  junta,  in  speaking  of  the 
Maine  explosion,  said:  "It  is  needless 
for  me  to  say  the  Cubans  deplore  the 
disaster,  the  horrors  of  which  sent  a 
thrill  which  girdled  the  globe  and  called 
forth  the  condolence  of  the  world.  It  is 
an  event  which  will  doubtless  result  in 
bringing  the  United  States  and  Spain 
into  more  amicable  relations.  The 
Spanish  ministry  saw  its  opportunity  to 
Strike  the  soft  spot  in  the  American 
heart,  and  was  not  tardy  in  embracing 
it.  While  this  fact  may  not  seriously 
militate  against  the  Cuban  cause,  wo 
could  wish  for  a  different  condition." 

Touching  upon  the  po.ssibility  of  the 
Cubans  having  blown  the  Maine  up, 
Senor  De  Arngo  said:  "You  may  be 
vary  sure  that  it  was  not  the  work  of 
Cubans.  Why  should  Cuba  destroy  her 
friends  when  she  could  demolish  her 
enemies  with  equal  ease?  No,  the 
Cubans  would  not  want  to  decimate  the 
United  States  navy;  they  would  be  will- 
ing to  double  it  if  they  could.  In  its 
strength  lies  Cuba's  safety  and  succes.s; 
but  for  its  protecting  power  the  struggle 
could  not  b^  prolonged  a  single  day."

Not  a  Single  Cablegram  Received  By 
Navy  Department. 

Washington.  Feb.  22.— The  most  po- 
tent sign  that  the  first  and  exciting 
stage  of  the  Maine  disaster  has  been 
passed  das  the  fact  that  not  a  single 
cablegrari  was  received  over  night  or 
this  morning  at  the  navy  department 
relating  in  any  manner  to  that  event. 

In  fact,  the  only  telegram  received 
since  yesterday  afternoon  was  one 
that  came  from  Admiral  Sicard  at  Key 
West,  asking  whether  certain  pieces  of 
metal  intended  to  effect  repairs  to  the 
torpedo  loat  Porter  had  been  shipped. 
These  castings  were  to  replace  a  pro- 
peller strut  and  the  department  noti- 
fied the  admiral  that  these  had  been 
shipped  from  Herreshoffs',  the  buUdei's 
at  Bristol,  R.  I.,  on  Feb.  8  and  should 
be  at   Mobile   now. 

As  this  was  a  legal  holiday  very  few 
people  were  at  the  departments.  Act- 
ing Secretary  Day  spent  some  time  at 
his  ofl[ice  but  he  had  little  news  to 
communicate.  He  has  received  only 
one  dispatch  since  yesterday  from  Con- 
sul General  Lee  and  that  related  to 
the  shipment  of  Cuban  tobacco  to  th^ 
United  States.  The  Cuban  depart- 
ment has-  heard  nothing  of  the  report- 
ed Weyler  edict.  On  the  contrary. 
Gen.  Lee's  reports  show  that  the  move- 
ments are  in  regular  progress  or  at 
least  had  not  been  checked  on  Feb.  IP. 

Judge  IDay  has  received  no  news  of 
the  rumcred  capture  of  the  Dauntless, 
and  in  fact  the  telegram  referred  to 
was  all  lie  had  from  Havana  in  the 
las't    twenty-four   hours. 

In  the  navy  department  there  were  a 
few  more  officials  who  came  down  in 
the  morning  to  look  over  the  mails  and 
open  any  telegrams  that  might  hav^ 
been  received  and  spent  an  hour  look- 
ing after  their  private  mail.  They 
the  assembling  of  vessels  near  Hav- 
ana and  did   not  expect  anything. 

The  naval  officers  assert  that  the  re- 
port to  the  effect  that  the  movements 
of  the  S;outh  Atlantic  squadron  now 
under  way  are  with  an  early  view  of 
the  assembling  of  the  vesels  near  Hav- 
ana is  without  foundation. 


Lattimer   Shooting    Trial   Allows  of 
No  Holiday. 

Wilkesbarre,  Pa.,  Fel>.  22.— Owing  to 
the  mass  of  business  in  court.  Judge 
Woodward  decided  there  should  be  no 
holiday  today.  "But,"  said  he,  "I  deem 
it  appropriate  that  we  observe  the  day 
by  hearing  Washington's  farewell  ad- 
dress and  I  have  requested  Mr.  Scar- 
lot  to  read  it."  There  was  a  bui'st  of 
applause  at  this  announcement,  and 
the  reading  was  given  careful  atten- 
tion. 

The  first  witness  of  the  day  was  Mrs. 
James  Edmonson,  who  lives  at  Har- 
wood.  She  said  that  on  the  day  of  the 
shooting  she  heard  a  neighbor  shout: 
"Skin  out,  the  strikers  are  coming.  " 
•1  saw  the  men,  they  all  had  clubs,  they 
found  my  husband  and  tried  to  get  him 
away.  I  grabbed  him  and  after  a  lot 
of  words  they  let  him  go." 

James  Edmonson,  husband  of  the 
previous  witness,  said  he  heard  his 
neighbor,  Mrs.  O'Donnell,  shout  to  him 
that  th3  strikers  were  coming,  and  that 
he  had  better  get  out.  Continuing,  the 
witness  said: 

"I  went  with  my  two  boarders,  but 
hardly  had  we  got  out  before  the 
strikers  caught  us.  They  dragged  mo 
along  for  a  couple  of  hundred  yards,  and 
then  my  wife  rescued  me.  All  the  strik- 
ers were  armed." 

Pater  Wolfe,  a  driver  a-t  the  Harwood 
colliery,  said:  "On  the  Friday  the 
strikers  gathered  to  march  to  Lattimer, 
I  went  down  to  the  company  store,  and 
we  locked  ourselves  in.  Afterwards, 
when  we  thought  the  strikers  had  gone, 
we  went  out.  One  man  chased  me  with 
a  big  club  for  a  long  distance,  and  I 
flnailly  escaped  by  jum^Jing  through  the 
window  of  my  house." 

James  McGraw.  of  Harwood.  said  he 
was  pursued  by  the  strikers.  As  he  could 
not  run,  because  of  his  advanced  age, 
he  hid  in  the  bush,  and  as  he  dropped 
two  shots  were  fired  at  him.  He  re- 
mained in  hiding  until  the  men  had 
gone. 

Charles  Mullen  and  two  friends  were 
pursued  by  the  strikers,  who  shouted, 
"We  will  shoot  you,"  and  finally  they 
fired  two  shots  at  them  as  they  got  into 
the  bush.  John  Ripple  told  how  he  was 
threatened  by  armed  strikers,  but  thty 
did  him  no  harm.

Bishop  Horstmann,  a  solemn  requiem 
mass  was  celebrated  today  in  St.  John't

Rev 


SIGSBEE  WANTS  DRAWINGS. 

Thought  That  He   Favors   the   Spon 
tarieous  Combustion  Idea. 

Washir.gton,  Feb.  22.— The  following 
telegram  was  received  by  the  navy  de- 
partment from  Capt.  Sigsbee:  "Send 
to  Forsythe  for  Sigsbee  transverse  sec- 
tional drawing  of  Maine  through  for- 
ward 10- inch  magazine  and  shell  room 
showing   pocket   coal    bunkers." 

This  request  was  immediately  com- 
plied with.  It  is  supposed  that  Capt. 
Sigsbee  vants  these  drawings  to  assis! 
in  the  work  of  wrecking  the  ship  as  they 
would  be  a  great  aid  to  the  divers.  They 
will  be  jseful  also  as  the  basis  for  the 
testimony  now  being  taken  at  Havana. 
The  fact  that  it  is  deemed  essential  that 
the  dra'iings  shall  show  the  pocket 
coal  bunkers,  which  abut  on  the  maga- 
zine, is  evidence  that  Capt.  Sigsbee  has 
in  mind  the  spontaneous  combustion 
theory.  But  it  does  not  follow  by  any 
means  that  he  is  committed  to  it. 

Some  of  the  employes  of  the  navy 
department  have  been  making  estlmates:- 
of  the  amount  of  money  that  will  be  re- 
quired to  meet  the  demands  of  the  joint 
re.solutioi,  which  Mr.  Boutelle  proposes 
to  introduce  to  the  hou.se.  allowing  a 
year's  pay  to  the  families  of  the  dead 
sailors  and  the  money  for  lost  clothing 
and  effects  not  to  exceed  a  year's  pay 
to  the  survivors.  It  fixes  the  sum  at 
not  to  esceed  $130,000.

Hansen  was  an  indefatigable  worker. 

A  feature  of  the  decorations  was  th( 
union  of  the  flags  of  Norway  and  of  the 
United  States,  which  were  used  con- 
spicuously. The  floral  decorations  were

Interstate    Commission    Helps 
War  on  Canadian  Pacific. 

Washington,  Feb.  22.— The  interstate 
commerce  commission  has  suspended  the 
operation  of  the  long  and  short  haul 
clause  of  the  interstate  commerce  act 
in  favor  of  railroad  lines  in  the  T'nited 
States  in  competition  with  the  Canadian 
Pacific  raiiriad  &^  to  passenger  busi- 
ness in  points  in  the  province  of  Mani- 
toba and  contiguous  territory,  amd 
points  upon  the  Detroit  and  St.  Clair 
rivers  and  east  thereof  in  the  Dominion 
of  Canaida  and  points  reached  by  the 
Grand  Trunk  railway.  It  is  understood 
that  the  Canadiaji  Pacific  road  is  njw 
mateiially  cutting  passenger  rates,  not 
only  between  New  England  and  Mani- 
toba points,  but  to  St.  Paul  and  the 
Pacific  coast.  In  view  of  this  fact  it  is 
said  that  the  American  roads  will  to- 
morrow ask  the  interstate  commerce 
commission  to  extend  the  scope  of  this 
relief  so  as  to  take  in  these  additional 
competing  points,  conditions  being 
similar.

French  Minister   Says    They   Do   Not 
Want  Sokoto. 

London,  Feb.  22.— The  marquis  of  Sal- 
i.sbury  in  the  house  of  lord*  today  said: 

"My  Lords:  Before  moving  the  ad- 
journment, perhaps  it  would  be  conveni- 
ent that  I  should  read  a  telegram  from 
Sir  Edward  Monson,  the  British  ambas- 
sador at  Paris,  with  reference  to  matters 
which  have  excited  some  attention.  'I 
placed  in  the  hands  of  M.  Hanotaux 
(the  French  minister  for  foreign  affairs) 
as  soon  as  I  could  obtain  an  interview,  a 
note  drawing  attention  to  the  rei>ort  pub- 
lished this  morning  of  a  French  advance 
into  Sokoto.  I  said  that  if  the  report 
was  correct,  the  news  must  be  regarded 
as  of  a  very  serious  character.'  " 

"  'M.  Hanatoux  replleil  that  he  had  no 
knowledge  of  any  such  proceeding,  and 
that  if  anything  of  the  kind  had  oc- 
curred it  must  have  been  done  not  only 
without  the  orders  of  the  French  govern- 
ment, but  against  their  wishes  and  in- 
structions, as  they  had  no  desire  to  ap- 
proach Sokoto.  He  said  he  did  not  be- 
lieve  that  the  news  was  ti-ue.  and  he  has 
since  communicated  to  me  the  assurance 
that  there  are  no  troops  in  that  region.*  " 
The  reading  of  the  dispatch  was  greeted 
with  cheers.

No  farm  mortgage  notes  shall  be  is-

railroad  passenger  rates  to  2  cents  a  mile: 
reduction  of  maximum  legal  rate  of  in- 
terest on  money  in  Indiana  to  6  per  cent.

difference of  the  present  adminis;ration

phasize our  previous  demand  for  the  im- 
mediate recognizing  of  the  independence 
of  Cuba."

A  STIRRING  ADDRESS 


Ex-President  Harrison^s  Ad- 
dress to  the  Union  League 
Ciub  at  Chicago. 


Chicaspo,  Feb.  22.— Ex-Presidt^nt  Har- 
rison spfvk«'  today  at  the  Auditorium  at 
the  central  meeting  of  the  unnual  cele- 
bi-atlon  of  the  Union  League  club  in 
honor  of  Washinglon.  All  the  his- 
torioal  and  civic  sjcieties  of  the  city 
were  fully  represented.  Among  the  dis- 
tinguished guests  of  the  Union  League 
club  present  at  the  meeting  were  John 
Finley,  president  of  Knox  college;  Gen. 
J.  M.  Palmer.  Maj.  Gen.  John  R.  Brooke, 
f  rmer  Governor  Richaixi  J.  Oglesby 
and  Charles  Emory  Smith,  of  Philadel- 
rhia.  The  Apollo  club  of  400  voices  fur- 
nished the  music  of  the  program.  Ex- 
I'resident  Harrison  took  for  his  subject 
•■l>bligation3  of  Wealth."    He  said: 

"In  chousing  for  my  theme  The  Obli- 
gations of  Wealth"  I  am  not  wresting 
this  anniversary  from  its  legitimate  ust. 
We  do  no;  need  to  forget— inde^  we  can- 
not forget  W  ashington.  when  we  reflect 
upon  our  uliligarions  to  the  state.  His 
life  teaches  no  lesson  more  strongly  tJiar 
thii-t  the  citizen  is  under  obligation  lo 
serve  the  state;  never  to  shirk  his  full 
shaie  of  burden  and  labor  and  sacrifice, 
hut  rather  to  do  mjre.  The  word  "wealth" 
•  In  its  modern  ust-  has  suffered  a  limita- 
tion, if  not  a  Perversion.  Originally  and 
strictly  it  means  weal,  or  welfare,  ex- 
ternal happiness.  When  Paul  admon- 
i.she<l  the  Corinthian  Christians:  "Let 
no  man  seek  his  own,  but  every  man 
another"s  wealth,  he  wa.s  not  anticipat- 
ing the  modern  law  of  the  wheat-pit  and 
the  stock  exchange. 

"Wealth  is  a  comparative  term,  and 
tny  address  is  not  for  that  very  limited 
body  of  multl-milllonalres,  called  by  th- 
Populist  orators  "Plutocrats."  A  smaller 
audience  chamber  would  have  sufficed 
for  them,  and  perhaps  the  orator  should 
have  been  of  the  guild.  I  want  to  speak 
of  the  obligations  of  the  "well-to-do"  peo- 
ple, the  forehanded,  prosperous  men  and 
women  of  cur  communities,  whether  thei:' 
estates  are  reckoned  by  thousands  or  by 
millions. 

'We  live  in  a  time  of  great  agitation, 
of  a  war  of  clashing  thoughts  and  inter- 
ests. M?Ti  no  longer  satisfied  with  what 
appears  above  ground,  are  uncovering 
roots.  There  is  a  fee'--  that  some  men 
aie  handicapped,  that  the  race  is  sold; 
that  the  old  and  much-v.mnted  equality 
of  opportunity  and  of  right  has  been 
submerged.  More  bitter  and  threatening 
things  are  being  said  and  written 
against  accumulated  property  and  cor- 
porate power  than  ever  before.  It  seems 
t.  many  that,  more  and  mote,  small  men, 
'  small  giores.  and  small  factories  are  be- 
ing thrown  upon  the  shore  as  financial 
d^ift  or  wreckage:  that  the  pursuit  of 
cheapness  has  reached  a  stage  where 
only  enormous  combinations  of  capital, 
doing  an  enormous  business,  are  sure  of 
returns. 

"The  seams  which  mar  the  face  of  the 
social  landscape  seem  to  be  widening 
chasms,  and  if  these  gulfs  are  to  be 
filled  we  must  establish  dumps  on  both 
sides  of  them.  It  will  aid  the  work  if 
those  on  either  side  use  the  bridges  lo 
get  a  vifw  of  it  from  the  other  side. 
Wealth  should  neither  be  the  object  of 
our  enmity  nor  the  basis  of  our  consider- 
tion.  The  indiscriminate  denunciation 
of  the  rich  is  mischievous.  It  perverts 
the  mind,  poisons  the  heart  and  fur- 
nishes an  excuse  for  crime.  No  pooi- 
man  was  ever  made  richer  or  happier  by 
it.  It  is  quite  as  illogical  to  despise  a 
man  because  he  is  rich  as  because  he  is 
poor.  Not  what  a  man  his,  but  what  he 
is.  settles  his  class.  In  the  discussion  of 
all  these  social  questions  good  temper  is 
essential.  Men  must  get  together  and 
use  facts,  n^it  rhetoric. 

"The  special  purpose  of  my  address  to- 
day is  to  press  home  this  thought  upon 
the  prosperous,  well-to-do  people  of  our 
community,  and  especially  of  our  great 
cities:  that  one  of  thef  conditions  of  the 
security  of  wealth  is  a  proportionate  and 
full  contribution  to  the  expenses  of  the 
state  and  local  governmtnts.  It  is  not 
only  wrong,  but  it  is  un.safe,  to  make  a 
show  in  our  homes  and  on  the  street 
that  Is  not  made  in  th^  tax  returns. 

•'Equality  is  the  golden  thread  that 
runs  all  through  the  fabric  of  our  civil 
institutions — the  dominating  note  in  the 
swelling  symphony  of  liberty.  Equnllty, 
not  of  conditions,  not  of  natural  endow- 
ment, but  of  rights,  is  the  foundation 
stone  of  our  governmental  structure. 
And  as  a  corollary,  necessary  and  im- 
p:ratlve  to  this  doctrine  of  an  equality 
of  right.  Is  the  doctrine  of  a  proportion- 
ate and  ratable  contribution  to  the  cost 
of  administering  the  government.  The 
duty  of  the  state  to  protect  life,  liberty 
and  property  is  conditioned  upon  a  fair 
contribution  to  the  cost  of  government. 
A  full  and  conscientious  discharge  of 
that  duty  by  the  citizen  is  one  of  tha 
tests  of  good  citizenship.  To  evade  that 
duty  is  a  moral  delinquency,  an  un- 
patriotic act. 

'"If  we  do  not  hold  by  this  rule  of  pro- 
portion, which  I  think  is  an  essential 
part  of  the  definition  of  taxes,  then 
everything  becomes  subject  to  the  whim 
of  the  legislature.  The  whole  revenue 
cf  a  state  may  be  derived  from  contribu- 
tions exacted  from  a  very  small  min- 
ority of  its  population,  the  majority  go- 
ing free.  To  allow  such  a  system  is  not 
only  to  robe  the  minority  thus  unduly 
burdened,  but  is  to  rob  the  state  of  that 
•which  Is  esi?entlal  to  its  healthy  exist- 
ence, and  indeed  to  the  life  of  Republlc3,n 
institutions.  Honesty  and  carefulness  In 
public  expenditure  will  have  no  effectlvf 
watchers.  The  watch  of  the  minority 
will  be  Ineffectual,  and  the  majority  will 
be  car; less  as  to  the  use  of  funds,  to  the 
accumulation  of  which  it  has  not  con- 
tribute"?. 

"For  very  many  years  an  opinion  has 
been  prevalent  that  the  great  bulk  of  th" 
personal  property  of  the  states,  espe- 
cially of  the  class  denominated  'se- 
curities,' Including  stotks,  bonds,  notes, 
mortgages  and  such  like,  has  escaped 
taxation.  With  a  very  few  exceptions 
the  great  fortunes  in  this  country  arc 
invested  in  such  securities.  The  de- 
linquency appears  to  be  located  largely 
In  our  great  cities.  Recent  investiga- 
tions of  students  of  political  science,  and 
lecent  tables  prepared  by  state  officials, 
have  disclosed  an  appalling  condition  of 
things.  The  evil  seems  to  have  be'Pn 
Tiropr'-ssing  until,  in  some  of  our  great 
renters  of  population  and  wealth,  thcHC 
forms  of  personal  property  seem  to  have 
been  almost  eliminated    from     the    tax 

3iBt. 

"In  New  York  state  the  proportion  of 
prt.sonal  property  assessed  for  taxation 
is  f>tJv  about  12  per  cent  of  the  total 
»muun;  of  property  taxed.  Yet  Controller

Man;f  a  man  sits  silent  and  alone  in  a 
home  of  mourning  and  conjures  up  before 
his  eyes  the  face  and  form  of  the  woman 
who  was  once  a  loving  wife  and  a  faithful 
helpmate.  In  thousands  of  such  cases  the 
wife  might  still  be  alive  and  well  and 
happy,  had  the  man  been  not  only  a  good 
husband,  but  a  wise  adviser.  Women 
shrink  from  the  ordeal  of  consulting  a 
physician.  They  shudder  at  the  thought 
of  submi..ing  to  the  obnoxious  examina- 
tions insisted  upon  by  most  physician.'^. 

In  the  majority  of  cases  they  have  none 
of  this  hesitancy  about  consulting  their 
husbands.  A  wise  man  will  understand  at 
once  that  troubles  of  this  description  will 
soon  break  down  a  woman's  general  health. 
Hew'll  understand  that  a  specialist  of  emi- 
nence and  world  wide  reputation  should  be 
frankly  consulted  at  once.  Dr.  R.  V.  Pierce, 
for  thirty  years  chief  consulting  physician 
to  the  Invalids'  Hotel  and  Surgical  Insti- 
tute, at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  is  one  of  the  most 
eminent  and  widely-known  specialists  in 
the  world.  With  the  assistance  of  a  statT 
of  able  physicians,  he  has  prescribed  for 
many  thousands  of  ailing  women.  He  has 
discovered  a  wonderful  medicine  for  wo- 
meu,  that  may  be  used  in  the  privacy  of 
their  homes.  It  is  known  as  Dr.  Pierce's 
Favorite  Prescription.  It  cures  surely, 
speedily  and  permanently,  all  weakness  and 
disease  of  the  distinctly  feminine  organism. 
It  allays  inflammation,  heals  ulceration, 
soothes  pain,  gives  rest  to  the  tortured 
nerves,  and  checks  debilitating  drains.

WEAK  AND  A  COWARD 


Fhe  Administration  Has  Lost 

Favor  and  Country  Is 

In  Bad  Shape. 


Roberts  of  that  state  expresses  the  opin- 
ion that  the  ta-xable  personal  projierty 
owned  in  the  state  is  at  least  equal  to 
the  amount  of  real  estate.  Illinois  and 
many  other  states  present  the  same  con- 
dition, differing  only  In  degree. 

""It  Is  easy  to  see  how  this  offense 
against  patrlrtism  has  grown  to  such 
proportions.  The  very  sense  that  In- 
equality Is  Injustice  has  promoted  it.  One 
man  sees  that  his  neighbor  is  not  mak- 
ing a  conscientious  tax  return,  and  that 
if  he  returns  his  property  honestlv  he 
will  pay  disproportlomately.  The  result 
Is  that  his  con.scienoe  finds  a  salve  in 
the  saying:     "Everybody  does  it." 

"It  is  probably  also  true  that  under  the 
tax  laws  of  many  of  our  states  double 
taxation  results,  and  taxpayers  take  it 
upon  themselves  to  remedy  this  defect 
in  the  law,  not  by  the  methods  pre- 
scribed in  the  constitution,  but  by  leav- 
ing off  from  their  tax  returns  such 
stocks  and  securities  as  they  suppose  to 
be  taxed  in  other  states. 

"Taxes        are  a      debt      of        the 

highest  obligation,  and  no  casuist 
can  draw  a  sound  moral  dis- 
tinction between  the  man  who  hides  his 
property  or  makes  a  false  return  in  or- 
der to  escape  the  payment  of  his  debt  to 
the  state,  and  the  man  who  conceals  his 
.property  from  his  private  creditors.  Nor 
should  it  be  more  difficult  to  follow  the 
defaulter  In  the  one  case  than  in  the 
other.  If  our  taxes  were  farmed  out  to 
an  individual  or  to  a  corporation  thej- 
v.ould  be  collected  as  fully  as  private 
debts  are  now  collected.  There  would 
be-  3.  vigilant  and  unrelenting  pursuit. 
The  civil  and  criininal  processes  of  the 
law  would  be  invoked  with  eflfect,  just 
as  they  were  against  fraudulent  debtors 
under  the  bankrupt  law. 

"When  to  this  enormous  and  crying 
evil  is  added  the  corruption  which  it  Is 
alleged  has  characterized  the  appraise- 
ments of  real  estate,  we  have  a  con- 
dition of  things  with  which  we  dare  not 
■palter.  We  must  inaugurate,  and  at 
once,  a  system  that  shall  equalize  tax 
burdens.  The  men  of  wealth  in  our 
great  communities  should  lead  the  move- 
ment. This  great  club,  organized  as  a. 
rallying  center  for  loyalty  and  patriotic 
cit'aenship.  should  hear  a  call  as  loud 
and  imperative  as  that  which  came  to  it 
during  the  years  of  the  civil  war. 

"'Mr.  Lincoln's  sLartling  declaration 
that  this  country  could  not  continue  to 
exist  half  slave  and  half  free  may  be 
paraphrased  today  by  saying  that  this 
country  cannot  continue  to  exist  half 
taxed  and  half  free. 

""This  sense  of  inequality  breathes  a 
fierce  and  unmeasuring  anger — creates 
classes,  intensifies  social  differences,  and 
makes  men  willing  to  pay  their  debts  in 
half  dollars.  The  just  sacredness  of  these 
money  obligations,  the  right  of  the  hold- 
ers to  be  paid  in  money  of  full  value, 
will  be  clearer  to  these  angry  men  if 
they  see  that  these  securities  are  paying 
fully  thei;  lawful  taxes. 

"Where  is  the  moral  distinction  be- 
tween the  act  of  putting  one  hand  In  his 
neighbor's  pocket  and  clandestinelv  ab- 
.strocting  his  pocketbook  and  the  fraudu- 
lently shifting  of  a  debt  that  I  owe  to 
another? 

"1."  there  Is  not  enough  public  virtue 
left  in  our  communities  to  make  tax 
frauds  di-screditable:  if  there  is  not 
virility  enough  left  In  our  laws  and  in 
the  administration  of  justice  in  our 
courts  to  bring  to  punishment  those  who 
defraud  the  state  and  their  neighbors;  if 
crime  of  fraud  may  stalk  unrebuked  and 
unpunished  in  our  streets,  how  long  will 
it  be  uniil  crimes  of  violence  make  Inse- 
cure the  fortunes  that  have  refused  to 
contribute  ratably  to  the  cost  of  main- 
taining social  order? 

"I  think  we  must  assume  that  there 
are  very  few.  If  any,  of  our  states  pre- 
pared to  consent  to  the  abolition  of  our 
personal  property  tax.  As  a  supple- 
mental tax,  levied  within  the  require- 
ments of  equality  and  uniformity,  a  suc- 
cession or  Inheritance  tax  may  be  well 
enough.  If  the  state  constitution  permits 
it;  but  the  principle  of  progression,  a 
higher  rate  for  large  estates,  seems  to 
me  to  be  Inconsistent  with  that  rule  of 
proportion  and  equality  which  should 
characterize  all  taxation.  The  practical 
question,  the  one  our  people  must  solve, 
and  solve  speedily.  Is  the  enforcement  of 
the  personal  property  tax  and  the 
equalization  of  real  estate  assessments. 
Perhaps  the  state  might  declare  and 
maintain  an  estoppel  against  the  claim 
of  any  mm  or  his  heirs  to  property,  the 
ownership  of  which  had  been  disclaimed 
In  the  tax  returns. 

"It  Is  not  within  the  purpose  of  this 
address  to  propose  In  detail  the  needed 
reforms  In  our  tax  laws,  but  rather  to 
emphasize  the  need  and  to  suggest  that 
our  men  of  wealth  and  the  managers  of 
our  great  corptftratlons  should  thomselvcs 
come  forward  and  take  the  lead  In  these 
reforms;  that  they  should  not  only 
show  a  willingness,  but  a  zeal,  to  bear 
their  full  proportionate  share  of  all  pub- 
lic burden.?.  If  they  do  not,  the  sen.se  of 
Injury  is  so  strong  that  ways  will  be 
found  to  exact  more  than  Is  equal.  To 
do  justice  Is  the  best  safeguard  against 
Injustice." 


(Correspondence  of  the  Associated 
Pre.^s.) 
Kingston,  Jamaica,  Feb.  l.V— Calis- 
thene  Fouchaid,  lute  Haytlan  minister 
of  finance,  is  back  In  Haytl  conspiring 
against  the  government.  He  has  formed 
a  conntH'tlon  with  the  party  of  the  late 
Dolsrand  Canal,  and  this  lomblnatlon 
is  likely  to  cause  trouble  for  the  pres- 
ent administration.  Fouchard  Is  pop- 
ular In  Haytl  and  regarded  l>y  all  parties 
a.s  a  good  financier  and  exceedingly  able 
man. 

His  competitor  for  the  presidency  will 
probably  be  Manlgat,  at  present  minis- 
ter to  France.  His  acci'ssion  would  be  a 
serious  blow  to  foreign  interests  In 
Haytl,  as  he  has  been  noted  for  his 
hatred  of  foreigners. 

President  August  Simon  Sam  has 
proved  himself  weak  and  vacillating  In 
the  extreme,  and  his  administration  haa 
lost  favor  In  the  country  from  Its 
cowardly  policy  of  the  Emlle  Lueders 
Incident  and  its  inability  to  remedy  the 
present  deplorable  financial  condition. 

Fouchard  was  a  candidate  for  the 
presidency  at  the  death  of  Hlppolyte. 
The  party  of  the  late  prseldent,  which 
controlled  iKjlltlcal  matters  at  the  time, 
nominated  Instead  Simon  Sam,  who  has 
been  merely  a  puppet  In  the  hands  of 
the  wire-pullers.  Fouchard  became 
finance  minister,  but  wa.s  eventually 
dismissed  on  charges  of  peculation.  He 
is  probably  as  corrupt  as  most  Haytian 
politicians,  but  he  has  more  enlighten- 
ment as  to  the  policy  of  opening  up  the 
country  to  strangers. 

The  financial  and  commercial  condi- 
tion of  the  Island  could  scarcely  be 
worse.  The  heavy  premium  on  gold 
practically  prohibits  trade  transactions. 
The  recent  fire  at  Port  Au  Prince  has 
caused  the  greatest  suffering  among  the 
lower  classes.  The  crops  have  been 
poor  and  the  prices  obtained  *'or  the 
island's  products  are  lower  than  for 
many  years.  Salaries  of  government 
officials  are  months  in  arrears  and  con- 
stant disputes  are  ai-ising  in  conse- 
quence. 

Italy  Is  said  to  be  pressing  forward 
her  claims  for  heavy  compensation  for 
losses  sustained  by  Italian  subjects,  and 
will,  it  is  believed,  resort  to  force  if 
necessary  in  order  to  compel  i^ayment.

with  a  iX'ceptlon  at  the  Arlington  hotel 
this  evening.  This  will  be  one  of  the 
events  of  a  week  full  of  excitement  for

CONDENSED  DISPATCHES. 


IN  THE  DAKOTAS. 

NORTH  DAKOTA. 

Judge  Pollock  has  returned  to  Fargo 
from  Hlllsboro,  where  he  held  an  Inter- 
esting term  of  court.  One  of  the  cases 
that  attracted  unusual  attention  was  that 
of  the  state  vs.  Swanson.  The  latter  Is  the 
agent  at  Hlllsboro  for  the  Great  NOrth- 
erti  Express  compa.Ty.  It  h;is  bet-ri  the 
custom  of  the  company  to  send  C.  O.  D. 
packages  of  whisky  to  that  and  other 
stations  for  delivery  to  the  general  public 
on  payment  of  the  amount  due  on  the 
packages.  The  defendant  has  permitted 
Hlllsboro  people  to  take  out  the  stuff.  It 
was  not  held  that  he  had  profited  by  the 
sale  or  that  the  company  had,  except  in 
securing  express  charges,  but  Swanson 
was  co.nvlcted  of  running  a  blind  pig  in 
the  depot 

The  storehouse  of  the  Val  Blatz  Brew- 
ing company,  of  Milwaukee,  in  East 
Grand  Forks,  with  its  contents,  was  en- 
tirely destroyed  by  fire  on  Sunday.  The 
lire  was  first  noticed  at  about  9:30  a.  m., 
and  is  supposed  to  have  been  caused  by 
a  defective,  or  overheated  stovepipe.  The 
fire  department  turned  out  quickly,  but, 
as  the  building  was  three-quarters  of  a 
mile  fro  the  river,  it  was  con- 
siderable time  before  a  stream  of  w.it  r 
tould  be  turned  on.  The  loss  was  total. 
The  building  wa^^  owned  by  the  Val 
Blatz   Brewing  company. 

Special  Examiner  McDonald  of  the 
treasury  cl^'par:nl-^.-.t  arrived  at  Ijarlmoro 
on  Sattnilav  and  is  engaged  in  examining 
the  condition  of  the  suspended  First  Na- 
tional bank,  in  that  city.  From  there  he 
will  go  to  Grand  Forks,  and  will  conduct 
a  similar  investigation  hero  with  refer- 
ence to  the  two  Insolvent  banks  in  Grand 
Forks.  Considerable  interest  is  taken  In 
his  visit,  as  his  report  will  be  followed  by 
the  appointment  of  one,  and  possibly 
three  receivers. 


SHY  ON  BIRTHDAYS. 
Pana,  111.,  Feb.  22.— Alexander  W.  Call, 
an  old  and  respected  citizen  of  this  plac-^, 
is  dead.  A  peculiarity  connected  with 
his  life  was  that  although  he  was  G9 
years  of  age,  yet  he  had  seen  only  six- 
teen birthdays,  having  been  born  Feb, 
29,  X828. 


SOT'TH  DAKOTA. 

The  finest  social  events  of  the  winter,  by 
way  of  entertainments  were  the  home  t;;!- 
ent  minstrel  shows  given  on  Friday  and 
Saturday  evenings  at  the  Aberdeen  "openi 
house.  The  patronage  extended  was  the 
large.st  ever  seen  here  upon  a  purely 
home-prepared  and  home-given  e.itertain- 
ment. 

Thus  far,  A.  B.  Cllft,  cashier  of  the  de- 
funct Bank  of  Edgemon!.  and  his  assist- 
ant, E.  C.  Salsbury,  have  failed  to  ob- 
tain bonds,  and  they  were  taken  back  to 
the  Hot  Springs  jail  after  spending  three 
days  In  Edgemont  in  a  vain  attempt  to 
get  themselves  out  of  the  custody  of  the 
sheiift.  If  is  now  known  that  the  exact 
amount  of  the  assets  found  In  the  bank, 
when  the  receiver  took  charge,  was  $6.74, 
while  there  should  have  been  $11,000  In 
cash  and  securities.  Local  depositors  will 
lose  about  $3000. 

A  few  days  ago  a  man  named  F.  A. 
Wood  opened  up  an  employment  bureau 
in  Pe^awood  and  advertlsedhlsbuslnes.s 
thoroughly  by  distributing  handbills 
everywhere.  He  had  a  thriving  business 
from  the  start.  He  charged  $3  in  .idvance. 
His  business  came  to  an  end  yestprday 
when  he  sent  twelve  men  to  Keystone. 
The  men  left  for  Keystone,  but  wnen 
they  arrived  they  found  no  work,  nor 
even  the  man  whose  name  was  given  them 
as  their  employer.  In  the  meantime  the 
agent   had    left   for  parts   unknown. 

At  Pierre  Judge  Gaffy  di.«missed  an  an- 
pllcatlon  for  a  writ  of  mandsmu*!  brought 
by  the  Carter  Publishing  company  to  com- 
pel- State  Auditor  Mayhew  to  Issue  a  war- 
rant on  a  ilaim  of  the  company  for  print- 
ing. The  printing  in  question  was  the 
rules  of  eich  houst^  of  the  legislature,  and 
the  jtlnt   rules   of   both    bodies. 


AMERICAN  MARCHIONESS  DEAD. 

New  York,  Feb.  22.— A  spec-lal  to  the 
Herald  from  Madrid  siys:  The  Mar-

Kansas    Minister    Makes    Pertinent 
Remarks  About  Him. 

Kansas  City.  Feb.  22.— At  the  regular 
weekly  meeting  of  the  Congregational 
ministers,  Gen.  William  Booth,  founder 
of  the  Salvation  Army,  who  is  touring 
this  country,  and  his  army  were  made 
the  subject  of  an  attack  by  Dr.  James 
D.  Dougherty,  of  the  First  Congrega- 
tional church  of  Kansas  City,  Kas.  The 
sentiment  expressed  by  Mr.  Dougherty 
was  endorsed  by  other  ministers  pres- 
ent. 

"Whatever  the  value  of  the  work  done 
by  the  Salvation  Army,"  said  Mr. 
Dougherty,  "it  needs  to  be  distinctly  rcc- 
ognlztd  that  it  is  the  most  absolute  des- 
potism on  earth."    Continuing,  he  said: 

"Let  the  Salvation  Army  take  its  place 
for  what  it  is  worth,  it  may  be  tolerated, 
even  aided,  by  those  who  feel  most  in- 
tensely the  defects  of  its  methods.  But 
when  it  boasts  and  speaks  disresp.'ctfully 
of  churches  as  Inferior  to  it  and  its  work, 
tho.se  who  believe  a  larger  Christian 
creed  than  Is  taught  by  the  leader  of  the 
Salvation  Army  and  his  followers  will 
have  to  point  out  that  the  training  of 
American  citizens  by  the  habit  of  look- 
ing to  a  man  in  a  foreign  land  for  their 
rellg-lous  opinions  and  for  orders  as  to 
their  acts  Is  a  great  evil  not  compen- 
sated for  by  all  the  good  boasted  as  done 
by  the  Army.  Bossism.  Irresponsible 
leadership.  Is  always  Intolerable  to  those 
who  prize  the  cultivation  of  manhood 
above  all  else." 

Gen.  Booth  left  for  Denver  last  night 
after  holding  a  3-days'  revival  In  this 
city.  Some  remarks  reported  to  have 
been  uttered  by  the  leader  during  his 
stay  here  led  to  the  discussion.

RIN  DOWN  BY  SLEITHS. 


Washington.  Feb.  22.— A  crowd  of 
siK^-tators  filletl  the  galleries  at  the 
opvninjf  of  the  session  of  the  senate  to- 
day, in  anticipation  of  the  exerci-;e.>4  in- 
clde.nt  to  Washing^t«n'9  birthday.  Among 
the  spectators  were  nmny  Daughters  of 
the  American  Ilevolution,  now  in  na- 
tijnal  session  In  this  city.  The  prayer 
of  the  blind  c-haplaln  of  the  senate  was 
particularly  appropriate  to  the  day.     It 

follows  in  part: 

•Oh.  Lord,  who  hast  been  our  dwell- 
ing: place  in  all  generations,  we  bless 
Thee  for  Thy  gift  to  this  continent  of 
that  man  whose  birth  all  Amerloajis  the 
wcrM  around  this  day  commem>rate 
with  gratitude:  the  man  \vhi>  has  well 
deserved  the  name  of  the  father  of  his 
country:  whose  life  and  character  stand 
btr-fore  the  world  loftily  and  stainless 
At  the  monument  which  bears  the  name 
by  the  river  he  loved  so  well." 

The  bill  to  Increase  the  artillery  by 
two  regiments  passed  the  senate  by  a 
vote  of  r>2  to  4. 

The  senate  passed  a  resolution  di- 
recting the  committee  on  naval  affairs 
to  ascertain  if  a  ship,  to  be  equal  to  any 
in  the  world,  ami  to  be  named  the 
George  Washington,  can  be  built  with- 
in one  year 
yards.

iN  thp:  house. 

Washington,  Feb.  22.— The  house  to- 
day refused  to  adjourn  over  Wash- 
ington's birthday  and  took  up  the  sun- 
dry civil  appropriation  bill.  Gener.tl 
del>ate  closed  at  T)  p.   m. 

Under  the  latitude  allowed  in  general 
debate  on  appropriation  bills.  Represen- 
tative Johns^m  of  Indiana  created  some- 
what of  a  sensation  today  by  an  em- 
phatic speech  opposing  Hawaiian  an- 
nexation. 

Mr.  Johnson's  speech  created  great  in- 
terest. He  declared  that  the  treaty 
would  fail  in  the  senate,  but  that  a  bill 
for  annexation  would  pass  that  body 
and  come  to  the  house.  He  appealed  to 
members  to  prepare  for  the  battle,  and 
rally  around  the  traditional  policy  of  the 
governmtnt.  He  wanted  to  sound  thr> 
alarm,  it  might  be  premature,  but  If  thc- 
battle  was  won  it  would  be  to  our  ever- 
Listing  honor,  and  years  of  peace  and 
prcsptrlty  would  justify  the  wisdom  of 
resistance  of  temptation  in  entering  upon 
the  path  of  a  poUcythat  was  strewn  with 
the  wreck  of  empires  and  of  nations. 
Applause  greeted  his  conclusion,  many 
Rt publicans  joining  in  the  demonstra- 
tion.

rounding the  robbery  of  the  Texas  *<:

one.  The  ticket  office  which  is  in  the 
heart  of  the  city  was  entered  before 
midnight  and  the  safe  and  strong  box 
of  the  railway  company  were  wrecked 
by  dynamite.  One  side  of  the  build- 
ing was  completely  wrecked  before  the 
police  arrived  and  the  robbers  escaped 
Thev  were  traced  to  El  Paso,  thence  to 
Galveston.  Louisville,  Cincinnati.  anJ 
finally  to  Chicago,  where  they  were  ar- 
rested  today.

Provision  of  Contract   Entered   Into 
By  Wreckers. 

Washington,  Feb.  22.— The  plans  of 
the  wrecking  expedition  for  the  relief 
of  the  Maine  were  completed  today 
after  a  long  conference  between  Sec- 
retary Long  and  representatives  of  the 
Merritt  and  Chapman  company,  and 
the  Boston  Towboat  company.  The 
companies  had  expected  to  begin  work 
in  Havana  harbor  In  about  a  week,  but 
at  the  last  moment  Secretary  Long  in 
sisted  that  provision  should  be  made  foi 
sending  forward  at  least  one  large 
wrecking  boat  with  divers  and  equip- 
ment. This  was  agreed  to  and  a  dis- 
patch was  sent  to  the  captain  of  the 
sea  wrecker  Right  Arm,  now  at  Ke> 
West,  to  suspend  his  private  work  thert 
and  proceed  at  once  to  Havana.  If  the 
Right  Arm  has  started  north  a  tor- 
pedo boat  will  be  sent  after  her  with 
orders  to  proceed  to  Havana. 

The  commander  of  the  Right  Arm  is 
ordered  to  place  himself  with  his  divers 
and  machinery  under  the  orders  of  Capt. 
Sigsbee,  who  thus  will  be  free  to  avail 
himself  of  their  services  in  the  recovery 
nf  bodies,  or  any  particularly  desirable 
piece  of  equipment  or  property  before  th° 
regular  wrecking  operations  begin. 

These  are  emergency  steps  which  pre- 
cetd  the  Maine  wrecking  expedition, 
which  will  be  outfitted  at  Boston.  New- 
York  and  Norfolk,  with  a  view  to  be- 
ginning extensive  operations  within  a 
week. 

The  terms  of  the  contra'ct  concluded 
and  signed  today  provide  for  the  pay- 
|-nent  to  the  wrecking  companies  the  sum 
of  $871  per  day  for  their  regular  plant, 
and  an  additional  payment  of  $500  per 
day  for  the  use  of  the  Monarch  while 
the   latter  is  actually  employed. 

An  express  provision  is  made  that

THE  ESCALLOP. 
It  may  be  a  source  of  wonderment  to 
one  not  familiar  with  the  habits  of  the 
escallop  to  read,  as  he  does  at  intervals, 
that  a  great  bed  of  them  has  been  found 
— as,  for  instance,  recently  in  Great 
South  Bay — in  waters  that  are  well 
known,  that  are  constantly  fished,  and 
that  have  been  regularly  fi.shed  for 
years,  says  the  New  York  Sun.  The 
wonder  is  that  the  escallops  there  were 
not  discovered  before.  The  fact  is  that 
they  were  not  there,  and  the  explanation 
of  that  is  found  in  the  fact/that  the  es- 
callop has  the  power  of  locomotion.  The 
oyster  in  the  early  stages  of  its  exist- 
ence is  a  free  swimmer,  but  from  the 
time  that  it  attaches  itself  to  something 
and  begins  to  grow  into  its  final  and  fa- 
miliar form,  which  it  does  when  it  is  still 
very  minute,  it  remains  fixed.  The  es- 
callop, however,  is  able  to  move  about, 
and  sometimes  it  comes  to  the  top  of  the 
water.  It  could  do  this  easily  in  four  or 
five  feet  of  water;  it  might  reach  the  top 
from  two  or  three  times  that  depth.  It  is 
sometimes  taken  in  nets,  the  escallop  b?- 
ing  off  the  bottom  and  higher  above  it 
than  the  lead  line  of  the  net  in  which  it 
is   taken. 

The  escallop  moves  Itself  by  expelling 
a  column  of  water  from  Us  shell.  It 
can  open  and  close  its  shell  freely.  It 
takes  in  water,  which  it  forces  out 
against  the  surrounding  water.  It 
moves  about,  and  beds  are  found  in  vari- 
ous pllaces,  and  escallops  bedded  here  to- 
day might  he  somewhere  else  tomorrow. 
Fishermen  taking  escallops  and  holding 
them  for  the  market,  if  they  keep  them 
In  view  of  the  large  first  cost  of  the  !  in  the  water,  put  them  into  crates  with

Maine,  about  $5,000,000.  and  the  na- 
tional desire  that  she  be  raised  aa  evi- 
denced by  the  prompt  and  unani- 
mous action  of  congress  upon  the  Joinr. 
resolution.  Secretary  Long  believes 
that  he  is  fully  Justified  In  making 
the  above  terms  with  the  wreckers, 
though  at  fir.-t  thought  the  per  diem 
compensation   seems  large. 

It  must  be  borne  in  mind,  however, 
he  said  t^day,  that  this  will  constitute 
the  largest  wrecking  expedition  ever 
e'luir^ed  in  this  country.  Moreover,  the 
vrecker"  expre??ed  a  willingness  to  go  to 
work  in  the  usual  w^ay  that  they  serve 
underwriters,  namely,  to  do  the  wreck- 
ing and  then  take  the  award  of  a  board 
of  arbitration.  This  plan,  however  was 
not  open  to  the  government,  which  Is 
cDmpelled  by  law  to  fix  exact  terms  in 
advance.  A  clause  of  the  contract  re- 
quires the  companies  to  proceed  with  all 
dispatch  and  in  a  business-like  manner 
with  the  work  of  wrecking,  and  though 
this  haste  adds  to  the  cost  of  the  work, 
it  is  believed  to  be  neces?ary  In  view  of 
the  possibility  of  the  early  appearance 
of  yellow  fever  at  Havana  harbir  with 
the  approach  of  the  rainy  season  next 
month. 

Capts.  Humphreys  and  Chapman,  rep- 
resenting two  companies  who  will  do  the 
work.  explai.Ted  to  the  Associated  Press 
the  plans  they  will  adopt  In  wrecking  the 
Maine.  In  addition  to  the  emergency  work 
to  be  prosecuted  by  the  Right  Arm  the 
Maine  expedition  will  be  mad©  up  of 
about  100  men  Including  six  skilled  div- 
ers: the  wrecking  steamer  Und-^rwrlter 
of  Boston  of  fiiDO-horse  power;  the  iron 
barge  Lone  Star  of  Boston,  capable  of 
rarrvi.Tg  3000  tona.  the  floating  derrick 
.Mlpoarch.  capable  of  Uftlog  Wi  tons,  the 


slats  close  enough  together  to  keep  them 
in.  There  is  a  story  of  a  man  not  yet 
acquainted  with  the  ha.bits  of  escallop-? 
who,  fishing  for  them  one  day,  planted 
them  as  he  gathered  them  in  the  water 
arov:hd  a  stake,  where  they  would  keep 
in  good  shape  and  be  all  together  and 
handy  to  take  up  when  he  wanted  them 
to  carry  to  market  in  the  morning.  But 
in  the  morning  when  he  went  to  take 
thtm  up  every  escallop  was  gone. 


SWEEPING   AND   Dl^STING. 

In  the  course  of  a  series  of  papers 
on  "Cookery  for  Girls,"  continued  in 
the  Woman's  Home  Companion,  Sallle 
Joy  White  gives  these  simple  rules  for 
orderly    housekeeping; 

"Fiegin  at  one  side  and  sweep  toward 
one    place.      Hold    th-    broom    clos^    to 
the    fioor.      Sweep    with    shoii;    stroke 
and  let  the  bro^im   take  the  dust  along 
the  floor  instead  of  to.sslng  it  in  the  air, 

"I  wish  every  girl  would  learn  the 
rul-?  for  dusting  by  heart.  I  dare  ray 
you  have  all  seen  the  aimless  way  in 
which  the  majority  of  girls— and  wo- 
men, too,  for  that  matter— dust  a  room. 
They  seem  to  think  there  is  no  such 
thing  as  a  systematic  way  of  doing  it. 
Dust  the  room  thoroughly.  Begin  at 
one  comer  and  tak^e  each  article  in 
turn.  Dust  from  the  highest  things 
to  the  lowest,  taking  up  the  dust  In  the 
cloth,  but  not  brushing  it  off  on  th>^ 
floor.  Shake  the  duster  occasionally 
in  a  suitable  place,  and  when  through, 
wash  and  hang  it  to  dry." 


PROBABLY  A  BOSTON  BOY. 

Just  where  he  came  from  is  not  ap- 
parent, but  he  was  rather  a  crisp-look- 
ing youngster  of  14.  small  for  his  size, 
and  foxy  about  the  corners  of  the  eyes 
and  mouth,  says  the  Detroit  Free  Pre.ss, 
He  entered  the  office  of  a  wholesile 
house  on  Larned  street  east  and  ap- 
proached the  head  of  the  establishment, 
who  was  in  bad  humor  about  some- 
thing. 

"Do  you  want  a  boy  here,  sir?"  asked 
the  applicant  for  position. 

"No.  we  don't  want  a  boy  here,"  re- 
sponded the  merchant  in  the  ordinary 
manner  of  a  man  In   a  bad   humor. 

"Are  you  sure,  air?" 

"Of  course  I  am.  Don't  I  know  my 
business?    Get  out!" 

"What's  that  sitting  on  the  stool  over 
there?"  asked  the  caller  very  politely, 
and  without  being  at  all  disturbed  by 
his  recption. 

"He's  our  office  boy."  replied  the  mer- 
chant, rather  taken  aback. 

"You   want   him   here,   don't  you?" 

"Of  course." 

"He's  a  boy,  isn't  he?" 

"Yes  " 

"Well,  then,  sir,  you  are  mistaken 
when  you  say  you  don't  want  a  boy 
here.  What  you  really  intended  saying 
was  that  you  didn't  need  me  here.  Good 
morning,  sir,"  and  before  the  mer- 
chant could  pull  himself  together  this 
remarkable  youth  had  got  out  and  wa.^ 
lost  in  the  crowd  on  the  street.

HELENS  THEOLOGY. 

Cleveland  Leader:  Little  Helen  Is  just 
beKlnning  to  absorb  ihe  truths  of  the 
Christian  faith.  They  are  very  puzzllnp 
to  her.  but  she  will  master  the  simpler 
ones  In  a  little  while.  After  her  most  re- 
cent experience  In  Sunday  school  she 
came  home  with  a  brand  new  Idea. 

"I'ncle  Will,  "  she  cried,  "did  you  knew 
that  everybody,  babies  an'  big  folks,  too. 
has  pot  to  be  killed?" 

"Why,  no,"  he  answered.  "What's  that 
for?" 

"So's  they  can  all  go  to  Jesus." 

Having  gravely  delivered  this  fundamen- 
tal  truth,   she   hastily  added: 

"An"   I    bet  burglaril  kill   you." 


Early  E;(;periences  In   Kentucky  With 
Some  of  the  Natives. 

At  th?  dinner  tx\  the  Right  Rev. 
Thomas  Underwood  Dudley — twenty- 
three  y?ars  a  bishop  yesterday — 'the 
bishop  told  several  good  stories,  says  the 
Louisvtlle   Courier- Journal. 

When  he  first  told  his  friends  in  Balti- 
m.ore  that  he  was  coming  to  Kentucky 
soime  of  them  were  astonished. 

"You're  not  going   to    Kentucky,    art- 
you?"  asked  one  startled  man, 
"Yes,  Indeed." 

"Why,  do  you  know  what  kind  of  a 
state  thi't  Is?  I  saw  in  the  paper  where 
a  man  killed  another  in  Kentucky  for 
treading  on  a  dog."  The  bishop  said 
nothing,  and  the  man  .said,  impatient- 
ly: "What're  you  going  to  do  about 
It?" 

"I'm  no-t  going  to  tread  on  the  dog,' 
was  the  bishop's  answer. 

"One  of  the  first  places  I  visited  in 
Kentuclty,"  said  the  bishop,  "was  Le- 
banon, where  I  wint  witii  our  friend 
W'alJer  there.  I  'killed'  Lrf?banon  with 
one  visit.  *  «  *  I  w'ent  to  bed  at  the 
tav.;rn  and  left  Waller  sitting  up,  I 
thought  I  mu.st  have  slept  half  the  night 
when  I  was  awakened  by  a  vigorous 
controv?rsy  In  the  room.  I  peered  out 
of  bed  and  saw  Waller  still  .siittlng  up. 
Beside  him  was  a  big,  raw-boned  man 
In  his  shirt  sleeves. 

'•  "Wall,  1  want  this  hyar  question  set- 
tled,' the  shirt-sleeved  man  was  saying. 
"Thar's  a  'Piscopal  down  my  way  what 
says  you's  got  to  war  a  white  or  black 
gown.  Now,  how  about  it?  I  wants 
the  bishoip  to  settle  it.  Do  you  have  to 
wear  white  or  black?' 

"I  spoke  up.  I'm  the  bishop,'  I  said 
'and  11;  say  that  I'm  not  imrtlcular.  I'd 
preach  in  a  pink  gown  if  anybody  w  ill 
ii.Siten  to  me.' 

"I    wius  greeted   by  gloomy   prospc-eb' 
when   I   first  came  to   Kentucky,"    ."^aid 
the    bishop.      "Malaria    seemed    to    per- 
vade the  church.     With  these  conditions 
I   .set  coitt    upon    my   work.     I^p   in    th- 
state  I  met  a  rough-l<x>king  man   who 
had   hl.s    trou.sers   tucked    In   his   l>oot-i 
and  he  carried  a  big  whip.    I  was  intro- 
duced to  him  as  the  new  bishop  of  Ken- 
tucky.    He  eyed  me  a  moment. 
'■  'Higrh  or  low?'  he  'asked. 
"  'Both,'  I  an.swered. 
"  'D'y  e  preach  final  perseveranice     oi 
fallen    from   grace?' 

"I  said,  "I  preach  Christ  and  Him 
crucified.' 

"And  that,"  continued  the  bishop,  "is 
what  I  have  sought  to  do.  The  Catho- 
lic church  is  broad — 'broad  enough  for 
the  whole  world;  big  enough  for  any 
one  who  can  f«ay  the  good  old  aiwstles' 
creed  land  worship  God  in  Jesus  Christ. 
There  is  no  time  for  petty  questions  of 
whether  or  not  there  should  be  flowers 
on  the  altar. 

"Ah,  my  beloved  friends,  if  I  had  my 
choice  to  make  again  I  should  choose 
again  to  be  a  bishop  of  Kentucky— 
here,  where  I  have  my  loyal  friends,  and 
whom  I  love.  And  there  is  no  pomp  in 
the  bishop's  life.  I  have  ridden  mules 
and  I  have  ridden  some  bad  horses— 
and  have  done  my  share  of  walking 
But  still  I  have  had  my  compensa- 
tion." 

And  here  Is  a  story  of  one  compen- 
sation: 

The  bishop  had  gone  to  Beattyville, 
and  the  place  was  rough  and  desolate 
A  rough-looking  man  oame  up  to  him. 

"They  tell  me  you're  from  Virginia," 
said  the  man. 
"Yfcs." 

"They  tell  me  you  fought  the  rebels." 
"Yes" 

"Glvo  me  yer  hand.  pard.  My  name's 
Bill  Bolaji,  an'  I'm  a  blacksmith  down 
here." 

"Bill  "  jaaid  the  bishop.  "I  am  proud 
to  mtet  you." 

That  night  Bill  Bolan  went  to  the  ser- 
vice and  heard  the  bishop  preach,  and 
he  went  afterward,  too. 

Twelve  years  later  the  bishop  went  to 
Beattyville  once  more.  It  was  sunsH. 
He  was  m.^t  by  the  town's  clergyman

THE  FETICH  DIAMOND. 
The  South  Africa  native.  It  seems,  is 
not  always  decorated  with  the  mere 
trumpery  of  the  trader's  wallet  or  of  his 
own  purveyance,  says  Harper's  Weekly. 
It  has  become  an  attested  fact  that  excel- 
lent diamonds,  and  diamonds  better  than 
that,  are  possessed  by  chiefs  and  hoardetl 
bv  them,  not  so  much  In  intelligence  of 
their  value  as  In  a  firm  fetichlsm.  Th? 
stones  have  come  to  their  hands  by  the 
good  old-fashioned  metho<l  of  stealing 
them  from  the  Klmberley  mines  years 
ago,  before  the  present  minute  watch 
against  gem  stealing  was  systematized. 
Diamond  stealing  at  present  is  practically 
impossible  under  the  peculiar  methods  of 
its  prevention.  Before  the  rigid  (xamlna- 
tions  of  workmen  and  visitors  liegan  to  b? 
enforced,  native  laborers  often  were  under 
a  secret  compact  with  their  tribal  rulers 
not  to  come  back  from  the  mines  without 
a  good  sized  stolen  diamond  for  the  chief's 
use;  hence  a  great  many  superb  gems 
are  In  the  dark  unfathomed  caves  of  a 
Kufllr  headman's  establishment.  Within 
a  few  years  enterprising  traders  havo 
made  sp4'clal  expeditions  and  palavers  for 
diamonds  so  hidden,  with  the  result  of 
successful  barter  for  them.  Liquor  and 
guns  have  been  found  useful.  In  some  In- 
Instances  the  su!)erstltl(m  of  the  chiefs 
stood  in  the  way  of  traders  recovering 
valuable  stones;  but,  en  the  other  hand, 
a  small  company  working  on  this  line  of 
acquisition  Is  credited  with  having  ob- 
ial:-'ed  within  four  months  not  less  than 
$200,000  worth  of  diamonds.  One  agent 
succeeded  In  buying  of  a  chief  six  stones 
of  more  than  200  carats  each.

SIGNS  OF  PROSPKKITV. 

The  Superior  Leader  says:  "The 
Duluth  Herald  Is  a  traitor  to  the  silver 
cause.  It  is  constantly  printing  things 
that  show  a  present  improvement  in 
the  times  with  fine  business  prospects 
for  1S;>8.  The  money  changers  seem 
to  liaxe  gotten  in  their  hellish  work  on 
Tho  H.'itld." 

The  l,eittler  belongs  to  a  class  of 
newspapers  which  advix^ate  the  theor- 
ies of  the  gold  monometalllsts  and  not 
jnfreauently  betray  th<-ir  dense  ignor- 
ance ot  the  whole  question  of  financ-^. 
Th-y  shout  for  the  gold  standard  and 
denounce  bitmetalllsm,  but  tliey  aro 
unable  to  offer  a  sound  reason  in  sup- 
pi  rt  of  their  position,  but  they  are  al- 
together ignorant  of  even  the  slender 
arguments  which  can  be  made  on  the 
goldite  side  of  the  question.  Their 
main  resource  consists  of  abuse  and 
ridicule,  coupled  with  gross  misrepre- 
sentation of  the  claims  and  argument.-, 
of  the  bimetallists.  Consequently  u 
is  not  astonishing  to  find  the  Leader 
repeating  the  old  worn-out  falsehood 
that  the  silver  cause  depends  for  its 
success  at  the  polls  upon  a  continuance 
of  business  depression  and  hard  tinif^s 
generally. 

Every  intelligent  silver  man  rejoict^ 
with  those  on  the  other  side  of  the 
political  fence  in  the  signs  of  improve- 
ment visible  among  the  agricultural, 
commercial  and  industrial  classes.  Be- 
cause the  shortage  in  the  wheat  crops 
in  other  nations  has  created  an  extra- 
ordinary demand  for  American  wheat 
and  corn  and  raised  the  prices  of  these 
cereals  and  other  farm  products,  thus 
diffusing  a  considerable  degree  of  pros- 
perity among  the  farmers  and  also 
producing  a  revival  in  other  lines  of 
business,  it  does  not  follow  that  the 
silver  cause  should  lose  strength.  The 
great  principle  of  bimetallism  lives. 
Prosperity  cannot  destroy  a  sound 
principle,  nor  can  depression  destroy  it. 
The  cause  of  the  rise  in  the  value  of 
farm  products— the  temporary  with- 
drawal of  competition  by  silver-using 
countries— fully  sustains  the  position 
of  those  who  advocate  the  restoration 
of  bimetallism.  The  silver  men  be- 
lieve that  there  can  be  no  permanent 
prosperity  without  bimetallism;  that 
periods  of  depression  are  inevitabl  ■ 
under  the  blighting  influence  of  gold 
monometallism,  but  in  common  with 
others  who  hold  opposing  views,  th-y 
rejoice  whenever  a  period  of  temporary 
prosperity  sets  in.  And  this  is  why 
The  Herald  is  pleased  to  notice  any 
signs  of  improvement,  financial,  com- 
mercial and  industrial,  which  make 
themselves  visible. 


WOMKN  .\>U  THE  STAGE. 

The  belief  is  expressed  by  the  New 
York  Evening  Post  that  women  have  ii 
in  their  power  to  improve  and  elevate 
the  stage  to  a  marked  degree.  The  Pos' 
also  charges  that  women  are  mainlv 
responsible  for  the  fact  Ihat  many  plays 
are  presented  at  our  theaters  which  art 
coarse,  indecent  and  immoral.  Tht 
Post  says: 

"If   any   considerable   number   of   th« 
female  patrons  of  the  Broadway  theat- 
ers let  it  be  known  that  they  would  re- 
sent as  a  personal   insult   gross   thing? 
said  or  done  upon  any  stage     in     theii 
presence,    refuse    to    visit    that    theatei 
again  and  exert  their  influence  to  keei 
all  their  friends  out  of  it  also,  the  man- 
agers would  soon  cease  to  discover  any 
thing    particularly    artistic    or   progres- 
sive  in    realistic    vulgarities.      Unfortu- 
nately, women  as  a  body  have  not  shown 
open   anger   or  disgust   at   plays   which 
have  elicited  vigorous  male  reprobation 
On  the  contrary,  some  of  the  most  un 
seemly    plays    of    modern      date      hav< 
drawn  phenomenally  large  audiences  at 
matinees.     The  dangerous  play   is   that 
which  inculcates  a  false  morality,   pre 
sents   vice    in   glittering   and    seductiv* 
form  or  misrepresents  it  as  half  a  vir- 
tue." 

"An  American  woman"  writes  to  lh« 
Post  to  endorse  this  statement  and  to 
urge  that  women  make  their  protest 
against  impure  plays  effective.  Th* 
Atlanta  Journel  also  endorses  the  cor- 
rectness of  the  Post's  statements.  It 
says:  "The  average  society  play  not 
only  presents  false  views  of  life,  but  in- 
culcates false  morality.  Yet  women 
who  would  scorn  to  act  as  do  the 
heroines  of  such  plays  and  who  would 
not  tolerate  men  who  deport  them- 
selves as  do  the  heroes  of  these  so- 
called  representatives  of  'society,'  flock 
to  see  them  and  applaud  the  skill  with 
which  they  are  presented.     So  long  as 


•FKEE  TKAVKI.IN<1   I.IKKAKY." 

A  numluM'  of  Duluth's  public-spirited 
men  and  women  are  putting  rortti  com 
mendiible  efforts  to  establish  fret 
traveling  libraries  for  .*^t.  Louis  counly 
The  various  literary  clubs  are  heartily 
enlisted.  The  people  of  Duluth  are  tht 
recipients  of  a  signal  blessing  in  out 
public  library.  They  can  therefore  sym- 
pathize with  the  farmers  and  miners  ol 
St.  Louis  county  who  are  not  thus 
blessed.  The  object  of  the  free  traveling 
library  is  to  supply  those  without  read- 
ing matter  in  our  county. 

The  literary  clubs  of  the  city  have 
arranged  to  give  two  lectures,  one  on 
March  1  and  one  on  March  S  next,  for 
the  benefit  of  the  free  traveling  library. 
The  first  lecture  will  be  upon  •Kui'.yard 
Kipling,"  and  the  second  will  be  upon 
•The  Komantie  School  of  Philo.sophy,' 
which  will  incluile  such  well-known  con- 
temporary writers  as  Stevenson,  Dtjyle, 
Weynmn  :»nd  Barrie.  The  lecture? 
will  be  delivered  by  Dr.  Burton,  of 
Hartford.  Conn.  Dr.  Bin-ton  has  been 
lecturing  recently  in  Minneapolis,  and 
the  press  of  that  city  has  highly  praised 
his  lectures.  Those  In  charge  of  the 
course  can  not  now  say  just  where  the 
lectures  will  be  given,  but  they  hop. 
to  be  able  to  secure  the  Assembly  hal 
of  the  High  Scho,>l  building.  The  Her- 
ald bespeaks  a  large  financial  return 
from  these  lectures  in  order  that  a 
strong  impetus  may  be  given  to  tht 
free  traveling  library  movement. 


NOT  A   KEVEMK-rKOUtrEK. 

Many  of  the  Republican  organs  which 
fill  their  editorial  cjlumns  with  the  ma- 
terial furnished  by  the  press  bureau  of 
the  Republican  national  committee  have 
ft-centiy  given  space  to  an  article  assert- 
ing that  the  Dingley  tariff  law  is  justify- 
ing the  claims  of  its  author  as  a  rev- 
enue producer,  and  Mi.  Dingley  his 
been  quoted  as  saying  it  will  soon  pro- 
duce a  surplus.  By  a  clever  juggling  of 
figures,  placing  the  arhount  re- 
ceived from  the  l^nion  Pacific  sale 
in  the  revenue  account  and  manipulating 
th;  statistics  in  oihtr  ways,  an  at- 
tempt is  made  to  show  that  the  revenue 
is  rapidly  increasing,  and  the  monthly 
deficit  being  decreased.  At  the  .same 
time  the  Republican  haders  in  congress 
are  doing  everything  possible  to  cut 
down  the  expenditures.  There  is  not 
likely  to  be  a  river,  and  harbor  bill,  it  Is 
announced  that  new  public  building  ap- 
propriations must  wait,  and  a  big  cut 
has  been  made  in  the  sundry  civil  bill-- 
all  with  a  view  of  producing  a  surplus,  if 
possible,  at  the  close  of  the  next  fiscal 
year.  The  effort  may  succeed,  if  suf- 
ficient econontj-  be  practiced  by  congress, 
providing  the  arr^ounts  received  from  the 
Union  Pacific  and  Kansas  Pacific  salts 
be  included  in  the  ordinary  revenue  ac- 
count, but  it  will  not  succeed  on  account 
of  the  revenue-producing  qualities  of  the 
Dingley  bill.  Despite  all  that  has  been 
said  in  favor  of  the  new  tariff  law.  it  is 
a  fiat  failure  as  a  revenue-producer. 

When  ihe  customs  receipts  began  to 
fall  shortly  after  the  bill's  passage,  its 
friends  claimed  that  this  was  due  to 
very  large  importations  being  made  in 
anticipation  of  higher  duties.  There  was 
reason  in  this  claim,  and  it  was  accepted. 
But  the  succeeding  months  have  made 
but  a  very  little  beuer  showing.  The  re- 
ceipts for  January  show  a  deficiency  of 
almost  $8,000,000.  From  July  1,  1897,  to 
the  end  of  January  the  total  deficiency, 
after  deducting  the  sums  paid  by  the 
Pacific  railroads  on  their  liidbilities, 
amounted  to  over  $51,000,000,  which  has 
made  those  who  insisted  that  the  Dingley 
law  would  produce  a  surplus  no  end  of 
difficulty.  Nor  have  matters  improved 
during  the  present  month.  The  deficit 
for  February  is  increasing  at  the  rate  of 
$300,000  a  day,  or  $7,000,000  for  the  month. 
Thus  during  the  first  seven  months  of 
the  present  fiscal  year  the  treasuiT 
officials  are  called  upon  to  meet  a  deficit 
of  about  $52,000,000. 

In  November  a  statement  was  made 
■)y  the  treasury  department  that  the  de- 
ficit for  the  fiscal  year  1898  would  not  ex- 
ceed $20,000,000,  but  in  oi-der  to  verify 
such  a  prediction  there  must  be  a  surplus 
of  over  $6,000,000  a  month  up  to  the  end 
of  the  year  in  June.  Such  an  expecta- 
tion is  regarded  as  impossible,  and  it  is 
probable  that  the  close  of  the  year  will 
find  a  deficiency  of  at  least  $65,000,000. 
There  will  be  some  increase  in  the  next 
four  and  a  half  months,  but  no  treasury 
official  will  make  the  claim  that  it  will 
be  large  enough  to  wipe  out  the  existing 
deficit  of  $52,000,000.  Mr.  Dingley  once 
said  the  Wilson  tariff  was  a  deficiency 
maker,  but  his  own  measure  promises  to 
excel  the  Wilson  law  in  that  respect. 


Considerable  space  is  devoted  in  this 
issue  to  speeches  by  prominent  men  at 
the  gatherings  today  in  observance  of 
the  anniversary  of  Washington's  birth- 
day. There  is  much  which  can  be 
learned  by  contemplating  the  life  of 
George  Washington.  As  one  speaker 
said,  the  imitable  qualities  of  Wash- 
ington's character  and  life;  those  that 
did  not  exhaust  themselves  on  a  local- 
ity or  a  peric/tl;  that  are  instructive 
not  only  to  military  commanders  and 
chief  magistrates,  l)Ut  to  the  unofficial 
citizen:  the  lessons  that  he  taught,  not 
for  the  march  and  battle,  but  for  quiet 
days  when  no  drum  beat  calls  to  duty — 
these  are  the  qualities  and  lessons  that 
should  engage  our  thought  today. 

They  are  telling  a  good  story  at 
Washington  on  Senator  Burrows  of 
Michigan.  It  Is  said  that  while  rid- 
ing to  the  capUol  on  a  car  recently,  he 
was  looking  over  a  prepared  speech, 
when  he  suddenly  realized  that  he  was 
delivering  it  aloud  to  the  great  amus.;- 
ment  of  the  other  passengers.  Mr. 
Burrows  was  so  much  embarrassed 
he  got  off  the  car  and  took  the  next 
one.

thus  gave  the  name  ti»  the  bay.

The    note  began    "My   dearest,"    and    then 

went  on  to  say:

"I've  been  thinking  of  you  daily—  of  the

Then  he  read  the  missive  over,  made  cor-

Ruhbfd   his   head   and   Pmllnd   quite   softly, 

said:   "I   think    twill  make  hor  sare.

held  under  the  auspices  of  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Masons  of  Virginia.  At  this 
meeting  the  proposition  to  celebrate 
next  Decern b(M'  the  one  hundredth  an- 
niversary oi'  the  death  of  Washington 
will  take  a  definite  plan.  It  is  proposed 
that  the  anniversary  ceremonies  shall 
take    place     at      Mount      Vernon.      The

movement  for  this  celebi-ation  had  itF 
inception  about  two  years  ago  in  the 
grand  lodge  of  Colorado.  Since  then 
one  after  another  of  the  grand  lodges 
of  the  United  States  have  appointed 
committees  to  take  mea.sures  for  the 
repi-esentatijn  of  their  respective  ju- 
risdictions. 

The  celebiation  will  be  under  the  im- 
mediate direction  of  the  grand  lodge  of 
the  District  of  Columbia,  but  will  be 
participated  in  by  all  the  grand  lodges 
of  the  United  States.  It  is  intended 
that  the  services  at  Mount  Vernon  shall 
be  similar  to  those  of  a  burial  cere- 
mony. The  expectation  is  that  the  an- 
niversary will  l>e  made  the  occasion  for 
a  great  pilgrimage  of  the  Masonic  fra- 
terility  to  Vv'ashington  and  Mount  Ver- 
non. At  Alexandria  there  is  a  lodge  of 
which  Washington  was  once  master.  It 
still  preserves  some  relics  that  were  in 
use  by  him  when  he  presided  over  the 
lodge,  whicti  have  been  seen  by  the 
thousands  of  visitors  in  that  city. Wash- 
ington   presided    at    the    laying    of    the

to  private  life,  was  caught  in  a  severe 
storm,  which  resulted  in  his  death  Dec.

A    Socialist    labor    Party   Man    Ex- 
presses His  Views. 

To  the  Editor  of  The  Herald: 

We  trust  .vou  will  allow  us  «i)aee  la 
.,<)ur  i'olnmns  to  refute  some  remaiks 
ni  id"  by  Dr.  Ilntnasoti  In  his  sermon  last 
SiiiMbjy  evening.  As  they  are  of  such 
\l'al  Importance  lo  the  working  class  it  is 
Ibeiefiie  phihdy  our  duty  to  do  so.  The 
prii  cipal  remarks  we  take  exception  to 
are  on  the  property  (luallllcatlttns  of  vot- 
ers. We  believe,  as  Amerlc-ans  and  true 
patriots,    It   plain   duty    to  carry   out    the 

pi-inclples  of  ()ur  Unlte<l  States  constitu- 
tion, 1.  e.  "E(iuality  of  rights,  "  etc.  But 
from  the  lips  of  Dr.  ilumason  we  learn 
that  in  his  ui>inion,  every  voter  should 
havt-  $10<),  aye  $.'.00  In  property  or  cash  be- 
fore being  allowed  to  vote  and  raise  his 
voice  In  the  management  of  our  social 
system  of  which  each  person  is  a  part. 
•  ind  of  c(  nse<iu;'nee.  thereby  lmparti;ig 
class  Interests.  Knowing  tb:il  the  Inter- 
I  sis  of  the  capitalist  and  working  classes 
.■He  directly  oppuse^l  to  each  other:  and 
knowing  that  either  i-lass  will  make  no 
con<'essit>n  to  the  other,  if  class-con- 
scious; and  knowing  further  that  the 
wiu'king  cla.ss  is  the  majority  of  voters 
in  this  and  other  countries  (T.^  to  s2  per 
(flit);  and  which  is  i)ractlcall.v  property- 
less,  not  m<-:itlonlng  cash;  who  then  will 
feel  most  the  blow?  Is  tills  chiss  to  blame 
for  its  poverty?  Are  their  childri'ii.  grow- 
ing i()  man  and  womanhood  to  blame  for 
their  ignorance,  bci'ansc  forced  al  an 
early  ag,-  to  leave  school,  to  si'ck  work, 
thereby  helping  along  the  family  in  their 
struggle  f<ir  existence.  Are  these  voters 
to  blame  for  belnx  ignorant  of  our  coun- 
try's needs? 

Slojjpage  of  immigration— It  seems 
the  working  class  has  no  home,  no 
flag,  for  when  it  finds  the  means  of  exist- 
ence, there  then,  shall  for  an  indefinite 
period,  b.v  its  home.  Is  Dr.  Ilumason  ig- 
norant of  this  fact?  Tht"  conditiotis  and 
struggle  of  ;his  class  are  identical, 
whetlier  in  Ami-rica,  Kurope  or  Asiatic 
countries.  In  any  of  thp.=e  countries  this 
class  must  sell  its  labor  !>ower  for  what- 
ever iirice  It  can  obtain,  and  through  the 
introductio:)  of  labor  saving  machines  in 
the  hands  of  private  ovs-nership.  .aids  to 
create  an  army  of  unemployed,  competi- 
tion among  workers— consetiuent  wage 
slavery.  It  follows  then  that  the  worker 
selling  his  or  her  labor  juiwer  at  the 
cheapest  price,  will  receive  the  job.  Is  it 
a  wonder  then  that  workers  who  have  in 
former  times  been  able  to  lay  aside  some 
m<mey,  now  use  it  in  seeking  a  better 
land,  and  believing  the  steamship  and  land 
sharksf  o  America,  emigrate  to  th?  United 
StatrS?  Allow  themselves  to  be  brought 
h>re  like  cattle  by  railroad  corjxirations? 
Are  you  surprised  upon  learning  of  their 
anger,  spirit  of  revolt?  With  Dr.  Humi- 
so;i  juggling  with  such  words  as  "rejjub- 
lic.  ■  "liberty."  "free  country.  "  "glorious 
llag."  "patrio;ism."  etc.;  atid  in  view  of 
the  fact  that  this  is  the  richest  country  on 
the  globe,  immensity  of  space.  <'limates  fa- 
vorable to  a!!  industries,  then  to  hear 
sucli  wonls  from  Dr.  Hnmason  as  "we 
must  keeii  these  ignorant  foreigners  out." 
Wrily,  siu'h  are  not  the  teachings  nf 
Christ,  who  said:  "Thou  art  thy  brother's 
krcper."  "Tho\i  Shalt  extend  the  hand  of 
fellowship." 

Socialism— We  would  take  up  too  much 
space  exjilaining  the  great  i-ontrasts  of 
socialism  a:id  anarchism.  Therefore  to  bo 
brief.  Many  people  seem  to  labor  under 
the  belief  that  the  two  are  identical  and 
sad  to  say  Dr.  Hnmason  is  one  of  them. 
Socialism  means  the  collective  ownership 
of  the  means  of  nroduction  and  distribu- 
tion, i.  e.  that  which  today  is  owned  b.v 
a  few  of  the  capitalist  class.  The  con- 
sistent anarchist  will  vote  (if  at  all)  for 
the  strongest  wing  of  the  ca.pitalist  jiar- 
ties.  thereb.v  hastening  the  crash.  The  so- 
cialist will"  work  with  might  and  main 
aye.  even  sacrifice  his  life,  to  peaceably 
establish  by  the  ballot  box  equality  of 
rights  and  opportunities,  liberty  and  the 
pursuit  of  happinfs.s — the  co-operative 
commonwealth.  Then  will  begin  produc- 
tion for  use.  comfort  and  welfare  of,  not 
a  privileged  few.  but  all  the  people  and 
thereby  making  but  one  class  possible— a 
working  class— members  of  which  must 
of  necessity  become  useful,  performing 
his  or  her  share  of  the  work— some  as 
educators,  scientist?.  Industrial  workers, 
etc.  Remuneration  and  honor  will  then  be 
forthc()ming  according  to  ability  and  tal- 
ent. Thus  ambition  and  progress  will 
flourish.  In  conclusion  we  would  advis» 
Dr.  Hnmason  to  examine  the  A.  B.  (' 
hooks  to  be  found  on  socialism  <)efore 
acrain  attempting  to  attack  that  part  of 
science,  and  further,  we  n-ould  be  delight- 
ed to  meet  him  in  debate  before  a  public 
audience,  in  this  city— subject  "Socialism.  "

AMUSEMEMTS, 


SINCE  LAST  WE   MET. 
The   leaves   have   changed   since    last    we 
met 
And   I  have  watched  them  slowly  fade; 
I  did  not  think  you  could  forget 
tH>  sooi.  the  vows  of  friendship  made. 

The  summer  swallows  plume  their  \,'ings 
And    soon    will    taKC    Tufsr    southward 
flight; 

The  world  a  darker  shadow  flings. 
And  day  gives  place  to  longer  night. 

But  in  my  heart  a  sadder  chill 
Than  v  Inter's  joy  of  frost  can  bring, 

A  restless  grief  beyond  my  will. 
To  find  my  love  so  frail  a  thing. 

Its  life  was  but  the  summer's  leaf; 

Its   length— the   shortest   winter's    day. 
A  butl  in  summer's  rosebud  wreath. 

And  then  it  faded  quite  away. 

The  leaves  have  changed  since  last  we 
met 

And  thou  art  changed  with  them  to  me; 
Tho'  needle  to  the  pole  star  set 

Was  not  more  true  than  1  to  thee. 

The   leaves   have   changed   since   last    we 
met 
And  all  the  world  is  changed  to  me; 
But    never   will    my   heart    forget 
One  look  of  thine  so  dear  to  me.

WHEN  FATHER  CARVES  THE  DUCK. 
We  all  look  on  with  anxious  eyes 

When  father  carves  the  duck. 
And    mother   almost   always    sighs 

When  father  carves  the  duck. 
Then  all  of  us  prepare  to  rise 
And  hold   our  bibs  before  our  eyes 
And  be  prepared  for  some  surprise 

When  father  carves  the  duck. 

He  braces  uo  and  grabs  a   fork 
Whene'er  he   carves   a   duck. 

And  won't  allow  a  soul  to  talk 
Until   he's    carved   the   duck. 

The  fork  is  jabbed  into  the  sides. 

Across  the  breast  the  knife  he  slides. 

And  every  careful  person  hides 
From  flying  chips  of  duck. 

The  platter  always  soems  to  slip 

When   father  carves  a   duck. 
Am'  how  it  makes  the  dishes  skip. 
Potatoes  fly  amuck— 
The  squash  and  cabbage  leap  in  space. 
We  get  .some  gravy  in  our  face. 
And  father  mutters  Hindu  grace 
Whene'er  he  carves  a   duck. 

We  thus  have  learned  to  walk  around 

The  dining  room  and  pluck 

From  off  the  window   sills  and   walls 

Our  share  of  father's  duck. 
While  father  growls  and  blows  and  jaws, 
And  swears  the  knife  was  full  of  flaws. 
And  mother    jaws  at  him  because 
He  couldn't  carve  a  duck.

FRENCH  POLICE  METHODS. 
Harper's  Weekly:  I  once  spent  an  after- 
noon in  a  ple.Hsant  little  villa  on  the 
banks  of  the  River  Marne.  with  the  form- 
er chief  of  polU-e  in  the  time  of  Napoiecm 
111,  up  to  the  proclamation  of  th»^  republic. 
No  one  would  have  thought,  to  look  at  the 
peaceful  figure  of  the  jtroprletnr.  a  little 
man  in  sabots,  with  gray  beard  a  la  Mil- 
let, absorbed  In  cultivating  the  magnifleent 
hortensias  that  covered  his  terraces, 
reaching  to  the  water's  edge,  that  his  head 
hPd  been  a  store  house  for  all  the  mach- 
inations and  turpitudes  of  that  period  of 
decadence  which  ended  In  a  disastrous 
war  and  a  revolution.  It  was  on  that  af- 
t<M'noon  that  1  learned  that  the  fatal  OHI- 
vler  mlnistrv  was  decided  upon  by  M. 
Thiers  and  his  political  friends  one  even- 
ing In  the  conservatory  of  a  beautiful 
French  woman,  living  not  far  from  the 
Opera.  Two  brothers,  well  known  in  the 
best  Paris  society,  meanwhile  distracted 
the  attention  of  the  cuests  in  the  salon 
l.v  slelght-of-hand  tricks  and  gymnastic 
feats  on  :»  Persian  rug.  And  when  I  asked 
the  old  man  how  he  knew  all  this  with 
such  precision.  "From  a  femme  de  cham- 
bre.  "  he  answered  tranguilly;  "all  person- 
ages of  importance  at  that  time,  at  their 
own  request,  took  their  servants  only 
from  my  hand." 


Young    Billiard     Master    to 
Meet  Schaefer  at  Chicago 
on  April   2.  I 

Chicago,    F<li.   2l'.— Schaefer   and    Ive>-  j 
will   play   billiards   in   this  city   April   2' 
for   the  championship   of   the   world   at  | 
18-inch  balk-line.    Ives  came  to  the  city  I 
Sunday  afternoon,   and  after  a  stormy  | 
meeting    with    the    "wizard"    the    date , 
and  other  terms  were  agreed  to.  Charles  I 
J.   E.  Parker,  one  of  the  be.st  known  ol  i 
the      local       bllliardroom-keepers,     will 
manage  the  match.     It  will   be  decided 
in  Central  Music  hall.     I'nder  the  terms  I 
of  the  championship  emblem.  600  points 
will  l>e  played.  I 

Ives  came  into   the  city  early  in   the 
day  from  California.    Since  leaving  here 
he  has  been  on  a  tour  of  Mexico  and  ] 
other    Southern    points    of    interest.      It 
did  not  take  him  long  to  locate  Schaefer. 
A  telephone  message  to  the  South  Side 
brought  the  little  German  downtown  in  , 
a  hurry.     Ives  did  a  little   practice   in  j 
the  afternoon  at     Green's     and     at     7  i 
o'clock  weiTt  over  to  Parker's  to     meet  I 
Ives.      It    was    not    exactly    a     friendly  [ 
meeting.     The  old   quarrel   about   what  i 
Ives  had  made  Schaefer  do  in  the  past ' 
and  what  Schaefer  had  called  upon  Ives 
to    do    was    rehearsed.     The    men    grev.- 
heated  during  the  argument  and  propo- 
sitions without  number  were  fired  from 
side   to  side.     Ives   was   full   of  resent-  j 
ment  at  the  "wizard."  Schaefer  did  not  , 
think  he  had  been  fairly  treated  .    To-  1 
gether  and  alone  they  fought  it  out  on  j 
those  lines.  ' 

The  upshot  of  the  whole  matter  was 
that  an  agreement  was  reached  before ! 
the   men    parted.     They  are   to  play   In  j 
Central  Music  hall  Apiil  2  for  the  cham-  1 
pionshii)   of      the    world.     In   case   Ives  I 
wins,  it  is  agi-eed  that  the  men  meet  in 
a  6-night  match  as  a  better  lest  of  bil- 
liard skill,  at  a  date  to  be  agi-eed  upon 
later.     It  was  thought  at  fn-st  the  men 
might  agi-ee  to  a  6-night  meeting,   ih«- 
game  to  be  changed  each  night.     Then 
Ives  agreed  to  liet  ^.'iOOO  to  $4000  on  the  ■ 
general    result    of   the    6-night    meeting  , 
This    was   reduced    to    $'>    to     $4      when 
Schaefer   announced    he   did    not     have  j 
backing  for  that  amount.    That  not  be-  j 
ing    acceptable,     Ives      suggested      the ; 
stakes  be  a  bottle  of  beer.    After  a  long  ; 
argument  it  was  decided  to  let  the  mat- 
ter rest  as  it  was  before,   and  get   the 
present   match   out   of   the   way   before 
talking  about  the  future.  ■ 

This  disposes  of  Ives'  European  trip.  ; 
He  announced  that  he  had  abandoned 
it.  There  was  not  enough  money  in  it. 
he  said,  especially  as  he  had  a  chance  to 
win  the  championship  of  the  woi-ld  by 
staying  on  this  side  of  the  water.  If 
he  beats  Schaefer  it  is  possible  he  will 
go  abroad  and  play  a  number  of  exhi- 
bitions. If  not,  he  will  remain  here  and 
challenge  Schaefer  to  another  contest 
It  is  probable  the  billiard  situation  will 
be  greatly  changed  by  that  time.  j

B.  C.  Finnigan  Is   Elected  to  Succeed 

Henry  Logan. 

Grand  Rapids,  Minn.,  Feb.  22.— (Spe- 
cial to  The  Herald.)— The  board  to  elect 
a  county  commissioner  for  the  First 
district,  in  place  of  Henry  Logan,  re- 
signed,   met    yesterday    afternoon.      B. 

C.  Finnegan  gat  two  votes  and  J.  J. 
Decker  one  vote.  Mr.  Finnegan  was 
declared  elected  commissioner. 

The  Knights  of  Pythias  and  their 
ladies  auxiliary  were  delighted  with  the 
^attendance  and  appreciation  bestowed 
upon  their  gathering  at  Pythian  hall  last 
evening.  Over  100  people  were  on  the 
lioor  during  most  of  the  dances,  and  the 
music  and  supper  were  fully  equal  to 
the  excellence  that  would  naturally  be 
expected  of  this  well  liked  organization. 

THAT    WAS    BUSINESS. 

Belfast  Cream:  The  day  coach  was  well 

filled    with    local    passengers,    and    among 

them    was    a    woman    about    40    years    ot 

age,  who  said  to  the  conductor  as  he  took 

her  ticket:  t:.„..i,  •• 

"I'm  livin'  jest  outside  of  Big  Fork. 

"Yes'm."  ,        J  .^ 

"I've  got  IGO  acres  of  land  and  a  gooci 
cabin  up  thar." 

**I  see  " 

"My  old  man  got  drowned  in  Bar  river 
last  y'ar,  and   I  m  all  alone." 

"Yes'm."  _.       . 

"I'm  powerfully  busy  when  Im  hom>. 
but  as  it  will  be  three  hours  before  1  get 
there  vo'  might  jest  do  me  a  favor. 

"I  Will,  madam.  I  understand  what  you 
want.  I  think  the  right  sort  of  man  is  at 
the  front  end  of  the  car.   and  I  11  speak 

Vive^'xninutes  later  he  came  back,  fol- 
lowed bv  a  man  about  40  years  old  who 
looked  like  a  farmer,  and,  pau.«ing  beside 
the  woman,   he  >5aid:  v, ,   .  •• 

"This  is  the  man  I  was  speaking  about.

asked  the  woman,  as  she  moved  along  to 
make  room. 

"Harkens,  ma  am.     he  replied. 

"And  mine  is  Stebbins.  Have  yo  ever 
been  jined?"  . 

"Yes,  but  I  lost  her  two  y  ars  ago.  bhe 
was  bit  by  a  snake."  ^    „.     ,, 

"And  my  old  man  was  drowned,  u  ouin 
yo'  jine  agin?  " 

"Mebbe.    Would  you?" 

"I  kinder  think  I  would.  What's  yo  r 
a&e?" 

••Fotty-two.  What's  yors? 

"Jist  4:  yisterilay.  Are  you  a  hard  work- 
In',  good-tempered  man?" 

•'That's  what  they  calls  me.  Reckon  yo

"Fur  shore.  Ain't  that  old  reptile  up 
thar  a  preacher?"  ^„., 

"lyooks  to  be.  Shall  we  be  jined? 

"If  vo'  say  so.  " 

The  ""old  reptile"  turned  out  to  be  a 
preacher  and  wi:h  the  train  running  thir- 
tv  miles  an  hour  and  the  jMusseng.rs 
stundlng  up  in  their  seats  to  witness  the 
eeremonv.  the  twain  were  duly  and  law- 
fully made  one,  and  every  man  kissed  the 
happy    bride. 

WHAT  HE  MEANT. 
Cleveland  Lead^rr:  A  good  preacher 
who  ministers  to  the  spiritual  needs  of 
one  of  the  most  fashionable  congrega- 
tions in  this  city  has  a  son  4  years  old. 
who  has  been  called  remarkably  bright 
even  when  his  parents  were  not  present 

to  hear. 

Not  long  ago  little  Edward  was  out 
playing  with  some  boys  from  around 
the  corner.  They  were  pretty  close  to 
the  window  of  the  library  in  whudi 
the  go(Ml  man  sat,  composing  his  ser- 
mon for  the  following  Sunday;  conse- 
quently, when  Edward  exclaimed:  "Oh, 
darn!"  the  father  heard   him. 

"C(*me  in  here,  Edward."  said  the 
good  man,  and  Edward  went  in. 

"I  hear  you  say  'Oh,  darn  it!"  a  mo- 
mtnt    ago." 

"Yes.  papa." 

What  did  you  moan  by  saying 
that?"  ^„. 

"I  meant,  'oh,  damn,'  "  the  child  re- 
plied: "but  I  know  it  is  wicked  to  say 
'damn,'  so  I  only  said  dam."

AMUSEMENTS. 


Nover  bifoiv  in  the  history  of  North- 
tin  MinnestUa  has  there  bt-on  so  muoh 
activity  about  the  headwaters  of  the 
Mississippi  river  as  there  is  this  winter. 
The  lumlur  w.K)ds  are  alive  with  men, 
and  the  loggers  are  straining  every  nerve 
ti>  get  out  as  many  logs  as  possible. 
Friie  tJri>s.,  of  Minneapolis,  for  instance. 
at  the  beginning  of  the  season  started 
out  to  put  in  40,000.000  feet.  A  week  ago 
they  had  passed  the  or..000.000  mark,  and 
they  will  undoubtedly  cut  far  in  excess 
of  what  they  originally  intended  to  be- 
fore the  close  of  the  season.  In  addi- 
tion to  what  the  Mississippi  river  lum- 
bermen are  doing,  the  Indians  on  the 
leservations  are  hard  at  work  under  the 
dead  and  down  timber  act,  with  the  re- 
sult that  the  Indians  as  well  as  the 
white  men  in  that  entire  region  are 
Vlentifully  supplieti  with  money. 

The  building  of  the  Fosston  branch  of 
the  Cfreat  Northern  railroad  is  also  fur- 
nishing employment  to  hundreds  of  men 
in  that  section,  and  the  number  will  be 
materially  increased  in  the  veiy  near 
future.  The  wages  paid  are  better  than 
have  been  known  for  yeai"s,  the  recent 
sh-irp  advance  in  the  price  of  logs  and 
lumiber  makin.t;  higher  wages  possiblt\ 
.Mt  n  are  st-arce  even  at  the  good  wag^^s 
that  are  bt-ing  offeit-d.  and  no  later  than 
Saturday  a  contractor  passed  through 
Duluth  «m  his  way  to  Minneapolis  to  get 
twenty-rtve  men  to  work  for  twenty  day."?. 
To  get  these  men  hi-  will  have  to  pay 
thtir  railroad  faivs,  and  the  expense  of 
it  all  A  ill  amount  to  about  a  dollar  a  day 
for  the  time   they  have  to  work. 

There  are  now  working  in  the  woods 
nnd  on  railroad  contracts  in  Northern 
Minnesota,  in  the  territory  directly  tri- 
butary to  Duluth,  it  is  conservatively 
estimate*!,  fully  1."..000  men.  These  men 
will,  about  March  1.  begin  to  come  out  of 
the  woods.  They  will  all  have  an  abund- 
ance of  money,  which  they  will  spend 
as  s.wn  as  they  reach  a  large  city.  The 
natural  place  for  them  to  come  to  is  Du- 
luth. All  of  the  supplies  for  the  lumber 
camps  are  bought  in  Duluth,  and  the 
wholesale  merchants  here  have  reaped  a 
harvest  from  the  extensive  operations 
that  have  been  carried  on  there.  The 
time  for  the  retail  merchants  to  profit 
by  it  has  nearly  arrived,  and  if  they 
mak.-  r.  united  effor;  they  will  get  the 
bulk  of  it.  Otherwise  it  will  pass  right 
by  their  doors  and  go  to  St.  Paul  and 
Minneapolis,  whose  merchants  are  al- 
ready reaching  out  for  the  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  dollars  that  will  soon  be 
distributed  by  the  men  who  haTe  worked 
all  winter  in  the  woods. 

The  i-ailroads  will  naturally  hold  out 
inducements  to  these  men  to  travel,  and 
Xhf  farther  they  go  the  greater  the  rev- 
enue the  railroads  will  receive  from 
them.  They  will  undoubtedly  soon  offer 
special  rates  from  all  points  on  the 
Northern  Minnesota  roads  to  the  Twin 
Citie*.  The  business  men  of  Duluth 
should  exert  enough  influence  in  railroad 
circles  to  secure  excursion  rates  to  Du- 
luth as  well  as  to  other  points.  In  other 
words,  they  should  guard  against  unjust 
discrimination  against  Duluth. 

This  city  has  just  as  large  and  just  as 
good  retail  stores  as  either  St.  Paul  or 
'Minneapolis,  and  the  men  who  come  out 
of  the  woods  during  the  next  two  or 
three  months  will  be  able  to  get  as  much 
in  return  for  their  money  here  as  any- 
where in  the  country.  They  cannot  reach 
either  St  Paul  or  Minneapolis  except  by 
passing  through  Duluth.  or  nearly  so. 
and  there  is  no  good  reason  why  the 
majoritv  of  them  should  not  stop  here. 
It  would  be  a  wise  move  on  the  part  of 
Duluth's  merchants  to  get  together  and 
device  ways  and  means  to  prevent  this 
immense  trade,  which  is  Duluth's  by 
rnason  of  her  geographical  position,  fronr 
being  diverted  to  other  pomts.

men  the  club  contains. 

Want  Midsummer  Festival. 

The  Superior  lodges  of  Modern  Wood- 
men of  America  have  started  a  move- 
ment to  bring  the  interstate  Wood- 
men's mid-summer  festival  to  Superior.

the  Icx'al  organization  to  attend  to  the 
matter.  The  cDmmrttee  has  already  se- 
cured low  rates  for  the  visiting  delega- 
tion" and  several  hun<ire<l  dollars  have

Firearms  Are  Not  Toys. 

Two  more  deaths  have  lately  resulted 
fiom  "rlidnt  know  it  was  loaded  accl- 
flents-a  mother  kUling  her  babe  and  a 
boy  almost  having  his  head  blown  oft. 
Firearms  are  not  toy.s.  It  is  also  un- 
safe to  trifle  with  what  are  termed  minor 
allm«»nts.  Insignificant  though  they  seem 
at  first,  they  are  likely  to  devcloo  m.o 
maladies  of  dangerous  and  complex  rnag- 
nltude.  The  b^st  way  is  to  arrest  them 
at  the  start  with  Hostetter's  Stomach  Bit- 
ters, which  checks  constipation.  Hver 
complaint  and  rheumatism,  malaria  Kid- 
ney trouble  and  nervousness.  A  decline  in 
health  is  something  we  cannot  afford  to 
dhsregard.  Independently  of  its  sterling 
efficacy  as  a  specific  for  chronic  maladies, 
the  Bitters  is  a  sui>erb  tonic  and  promoter 
of  appetite  and  sleep. ^^^_^

SIRVEYED  A  RAILROAD. 


Arthur  Thomas,  of  Superior,  Returns 
From  Alaskan  Coast. 

Arthur  Thomas,  who  was  at  one  time 
city  engineer  of  Superior,  bus  returned 
from  Alaska,  where  he  has  been  en- 
gaged with  a  party  in  surv<?ying  a 
railroad  line  from  the  coast  to  Chilkoot 
I  ass,  a  distance  of  sixty  miles.  They 
began  at  the  top  of  the  iiass  and  sur- 
veyed toward  the  coast.  Mr.  Thomas 
says  of  his  trip: 

•The  snow  was  from  six  to  seven  feet 
deep  and  made  it  necessary  to  weav 
snow  shoi.s.  A  number  of  dogs  w^re 
ir  the  iH)ssession  of  the  party,  but 
were  entirely  useless  The  railroad 
will  start  from  the  top  (»f  the  pass, 
whi«h  is  3100  feet  high,  and  reach  thf- 
coast  at  Haine's"  Mission,  thirteen  miles 
from  t^Kaguay.  The  survey  is  made 
for  a  broad  .guage  load  and  though 
very  expensive  will  prove  entirely 
feasible.  The  greater  elevation  conies 
in  the  latter  part  of  the  survey.  To

in  the  Klondike  were  not  suffering  for

PALESTINE  ENTERTAINS. 

Duluth's  Oldest  Masonic  Lodge  Cele- 
brates Its  Anniversary. 

Palestine  lodge  No.  79,  A.  F.  &  A.  M., 
celebrated  the  twenty-eighth  anniver- 
sary of  its  organization  la.st  evening  at 
the  Masonic  Temple  and  as  has  always 
been  the  case  at  one  of  Paleslin'^ 
lodge's  entertainments  a  large  crowd 
was  present.  The  entertainment 
oi>ened  with  a  reception,  after  which 
a  fine  program  was  given  in  the  lodge 
rooms.  Woi-shipful  Master  W.  A.  Mc- 
Gonagle  delivered  an  address  of  wel- 
come. He  gave  a  review  of  the  or- 
ganization of  Palestine  lodge,  naming 
its  ofticers  and  recalled  many  interest- 
ing points  in  its  history.  The  lodge 
now  has  426  active  members. 

Master  James  Ray  gave  a  fine  violin 
solo,  playing  Vieuxtemps'  "Reverie. 
Miss  La  Burtte  Shepard  accompanied 
him.  Later  he  playe<i  Bohm's  "Cava- 
tina."  Miss  Hilda  Willoughby  and  <... 
v..  Willoughby  played  as  a  piano  duet 
Rossini's  overture  to  "Tancrede."  Mrs. 
R.  L.  Knebel  sang  Herbert's  "For  All 
Eternity"  and  also  a  duet  with  H.  G. 
Gearhart.  All  of  the  numbers  were 
well  received. 

After  the  program  there  was  dancing 
in  theh  all  on  the  fifth  floor.  For  seve>ral 
hours  the  ball  room  was  crowded  with 
merry  dancers.  It  was  not  exactly 
what  is  called  the  dancing  set.  that  is 
those  who  attend  dances  regularly,  but 
the  life  and  enthusiasm  with  which 
they  went  into  it  showed  plainly  that 
no  one  could  have  more  fun  than  th'-y. 
Punch  and   refreshments   were  served.

Glen  Avon  Missionary  Society. 


The  ladles  of  Glen  Avon  Presbyter- 
Ian  church  will  hold  their  monthly  mis- 
siooary  meeting  tomorrow  at  2:30  o'ol  jck 
at  the  residence  of  Mrs.  F.  A.  Sherwin. 
This  is  the  annual  meeting,  when  the 
election  of  officers  will  take  place,  and 
the  reports  showing  the  work  done  dur- 
ing the  year  will  be  read.  Mrs.  C.  W. 
Harvey  will  presenrt  the  home  topic, 
"The  Indians."  and  the  foreign  subject 
will  be  represented  by  Rev.  Wilson  AuU 
in  a  short  talk,  "The  Barriers  to  Foreign 
Work." 


The  council  meeting  last  evening  was 
a  short  one.  and  devoid  of  a  single  blood- 
stirring  incident.  Two  judgnu^nts  for 
hydrant  rentals  in  favor  of  the  State 
Trust  company,  of  New  York,  aggregat- 
ing $7607.82,  were  ordered  paid.  A  reso- 
lution for  the  i)ayment  of  the  balance 
of  ?4J99.14  withheld  on  the  $18,000  Car- 
roll-Porter estimate,  and  which  has  for 
a  long  time  been  a  bone  of  contention, 
was  referred  back  to  the  waterworks 
committee  for  investigation  as  to  the 
condition  of  the  pipe  near  the  resei-voir, 
and  a  request  from  Contractor  McDon- 
nell for  the  allowance  of  an  approxxi- 
mate  estimate  on  stone  for  the  reservoii 
was  received,  discussed  and  laid  over 
for  one  week. 

Mr.  McDonnell's  request  for  an  ap- 
proximate estimate  on  the  reservoir 
Btone  quarried  for  the  reservoir  reached 
the  council  through  the  board  of  pub- 
lic works.  The  board  recommended 
that  an  estimate  in  the  sum  of  $:5:?4S.i:' 
be  allowed  on  obtaining  the  consent  ol 
Mr.  McDonnell's  sureties  and  the  filing 
of  a  bill  of  sale  of  the  stone  thus  far 
taken  out.  Mr.  McDonnell's  contract 
with  the  citv  provides  that  the  materi- 
al shall  all  be  in  i)lace  before  any  pay- 
ment is  made,  and  Alderman  Stevenn 
called  attention  to  the  fact.  He  said 
it  looked  to  him  as  if  Mr.  McDonnell 
was  trying  to  get  away  from  his  con- 
tract. 

Mr.  McDonnell  was  given  an  oppor 
t unity  to  urge  his  claim.  He  said  there 
had  never  been  a  <-ontract  like  it  let  in 
Duluth  before.  It  provided  that  $'20.00C 
worth  of  material  be  taken  out  and  put 
in  place  before  an  estimate  was  al- 
lowed. He  had  borrowe-d  money  to  car- 
j-y  (m  the  work,  he  said,  and  he  thought 
he  ought  to  have  an  approximate  esti- 
mate to  help  him  out.  An  approximate 
estimate  was  all  he  wanted,   he  said. 

Alderman  Jefferson  asked  Mr.  McDon- 
nell if  he  did  not  understand  the  con- 
tract when  he  entered  Into  it.  The  lat- 
ter said  he  did,  but  that  he  had  always 
had  approximate  estimates  on  his  con- 
tracts. There  was  stone  enough  on  the 
ground  at  the  reservoir  to  cover  the 
amount  asked  for,  he  said. 

The  city  attorney  was  called  on  roi 
advice.  and  he  said  that 

under  the  contract  estimates 
were  to  be  allowed  only  on 
material  in  place,  but  that  in  the  pas' 
estimates  had  been  allowed  under  cir 
cumstances  such  as  the  present  with 
the  consent  of  the  sureties.  The  mattei 
went  over  on  motion  of  Alderman  Hale 
The  judgments  for  hydrant  _  rentals 
allowed  were,  one  for  $5262.15.  witj 
costs  and  Interest,  afllrmed  em  appeal 
and  one  for  $2345.67.  pending  an  appeal 
The  city  attorney  advised  that  in  the 
last  case  the  same  points  were  involveil 
as  in  the  first,  that  it  would  inevitabb 
result  against  the  city  and  that  at  leas 
$50  costs  would  be  saved  by  paying  it 
now. 

,  Alderman  Steve-ns  wanted  to  know  i 
that  $1000  opinion  the  city  had  bf>ught  o 
Judge  Dillon  could  not  be  usenl  here 
somewhere.  The  alderman  intimateel 
that  that  opinion  was  too  expensive  t( 
be  allowed  to  just  lie  around  and  rust 
The  city  attorney  replied  that  it  was  o: 
no  use  "in  the  pre.sent  case. 

In  connection  with  the  balance  with- 
held on  the  Carroll-Porter  estimate  of 
$18,000,  the  city  attorney  rend.'ied  ar 
opinion  to  the  effect  that  the  fact  that 
King  &  Steele  had  attempted  to  placi 
a  lien  on  the  pipe  was  no  defense  to  th< 
city  against  payment,  inasmuch  as  n< 
lien  could  be  had,  the  city  could  not  be 
garnished  by  King  &  Steele  and  ther( 
was  no  defense  under  the  contract. 

The  resolution  allowing  the  balance 
on  the  $18,000  Carroll-Porter  estimate 
was  referred  back  on  motion  of  Alder- 
man Simpson.  He  said  that  during  th( 
municipal  campaign,  it  had  been  report 
ed  that  the  riveted  steel  pipe  near  th( 
re-servoir  had  been  crushed.  Nothing 
had  been  heard  in  regard  to  the  mat- 
ter since.  The  committee  Is  instructeu 
to  make  a  full  investigation  and  report 
to  the  council. 

The  bill  of  fees  of  the  commissioners 
in  condemnation  for  the  half  mile  cut- 
off on  the  Swan  lake  road  just  outside 
the  city  limits  created  some  discussion 
The  bill  was  for  five  days'  time  at  %' 
per  day  for  ea(!h  of  the  three  commis 
sioners,  amounting  to  a  total  of  $75.  The 
per  diem  is  the  customary  amount,  hu' 
.several  of  the  aldermen  thought  thai 
five  days  was  too  much  time  and  tht 
bill  was  referred  back  to  the  claim: 
and  accounts  committee  for  further  in- 
vestigation. 

A  resolution  from  the  waterwork: 
committee  was  pa.ssed  appropriating 
$300  for  freight  on  the  pumping  engines 
On  motion  of  Alderman  Hale,  it  was  di- 
rected that  Superintendent  Crawford 
submit  a  statement  of  the  disburse 
ments.  from  the  last  appropriation,  an- 
further,  by  an  amendment  submitteti 
by  Alderman  Jefferson,  that  the  super- 
intendent shall  render  a  statement  with 
each  pay  roll,  giving  the  expenditure 
and  an  estimate  of  the  amount  of  mone 
required  and  the  time  necessary  for  the 
completion  of  the  engines. 

The  following  estimates  and  bills  were 
allowed  also:  Pay  roll  on  engines  foi 
two  weeks  ending  Feb.  19,  $1731.54:  ren' 
of  Marinette  Iron  works,  one  month  ir 
advance  from  Feb.  24,  $150;  fees  of

"A  man  is  known  by  the  coinpany  he 
keeps." 

Above  are  the  pictures  of  two  well- 
known  and  noble  gentlemen.  One  is 
the  Right  Rev.  Bishop  Edward  Wilson, 
D.D.,  LL.D.,  and  the  other  is  Rev.  J.  E. 
Rankin,  D.D.,  LL.D..  president  of  How- 
ard university,  Washington,  D.  C. 
These  gentlemen  have  secured  the  high 
positions  they  hold  and  the  confidence 
which  everyone  has  in  them  thdough  the 
fidelity  they  have  shown  to  humanity 
and  the  cause  they  represent.  They  are 
men  who  have  the  confidence  of  all 
who  know  them:  men  who  love  hu- 
manity and  seek  by  every  m»>ans  in  their 
power   to   do  everything   to    benefit    it. 

It  is  notable,  though  not  strange,  that 
both  these  gentlemen  have  found  great 
help  and  a.ssistance  from  the  same 
source,     namely,     one  of   te  great   dis- 


coveries of  the  age. 

Bishop  Wilson  says:  "I  have  taken 
Warner's  Safe  Cure  with  great  advan- 
tage and  derived  much  benefit  from  its 
use,  and  unhe.sitatingly  recommend  il 
to  my  friends." 

In  speaking  upon  this  subject.  Dr. 
Rankin  says:  "I  have  known  of  many 
who  have  been  jjermanently  cured  of 
dlsease^s  of  the  kidneys  and  urinary 
organs  by  the  u.se  of  Warner's  Safe  Cure. 
I  know.  tf>o.  of  its  being  used  in  similar 
cases  by  i.hysicians  of  the  highest 
standing.  This  remedy  I  want  in  the 
cause  of  humanity   to  recommend." 

Men  like  Hisho|>  Wilson  and  Dr.  Ran- 
kin do  not  speak  hastily  or  of  things  of 
which  they  are  not  fully  aware.  They 
love  men  and  women  and  de-sire  lo  se>e

ly, better.  Thousands  of  dollars  could

Mr.  James  Jones,  of  the  drug  firm  of 
Jones  &  Son,  Cowden,  HI.,  In  speaking  of 
Dr  King's  New  Discovery,  says  that  last 
winter  his  wife  was  attacked  wiin  la

FROM  STEWART  RIVER. 
New  York 


Hard 


Tenderfoot   Has   a 
Old  rime. 

Victoria,  B.  C,  Feb.  22.— J.  W.  Beall,  a 
mining  expert  of  New  York,  arrived 
here  today  from  Skaguay.  He  has  been 
up  the  Stewart  river  which,  he  says,  is 
practically  an  unknown  stream.  He  and 
his  companions  reached  McQuesten 
creek,  125  miles  from  the  mouth  of  ihe 
river,  but  failed  to  make  a  paying  strike. 
They  started  on  the  return  trip  Dec.  3, 
with  eighteen  inches  of  snow  on  the 
ground  and  the  thermometer  registering 
72  below  zero.  Continuous  snow  storms, 
intense  cold  and  difficulty  of  making 
their  way  made  the  trip  more  than  usu- 
ally severe,  even  In  those  regions  of 
hardship. 

Once    two   of   the   men   in   the  lead, 


People. 

The  kind  of  food  one  eats  and  the 
lieiuid  one  drinks  has  much  to  do  in  de- 
terminirg  how  much  of  health  and 
strength  may  be  depended  upon  to 
carry  out  life's  work.  True,  the  tiuall- 
ty  of  the  mind  greatly  affects  the 
body,  and  on  the  other  hand  the  re- 
fiexes  from  an  ill-fed  body  seem  to 
affect  the  mind.  ^        ^ 

Well  selected  food  is  of  the  utmost 
importance  to  brain  workers  and 
highly  organized  men  and  womeii. 
We  are  apt  to  eat  and  drink  al- 
most anything  that  looks  and  tastes 
geiod,  and  afterwards  wonder  why  our 
brains  do  not  earn  as  much  as  some 
friends  whom  we  have  In  mind.  Our 
physical  systems  are  all  a  tritte  dis- 
similar, and  when  one  finds  that  he  is 
not  keeoing  up  to  par,  a  close  Inspec- 
tion of  what  is  being  put  into  the 
stomach    is  wise. 

Many  people  are  slowly,  but  very 
surely,  injured  and  their  lives  cut 
short  1)>^  the  daily  use  of  the  narcotic 
drug,  coffee.  "Nonsen.se,"  someone 
says.  It  is  easy  to  say  nonsense  when 
one  does  not  have  access  to  chemlcil 
research  and  scientific  data.  Facts 
are  exceedingly  stubborn  things,  more 
so  than  stubborn  people  are  aware  who 
cry  oui  because  some  favorite  drug 
cannot  stand  in  a  favorable  light 
under  the  careful  search  of  chemical 
analyslfi.  ^  ,,, 

The  stubborn  facts  about  coffee  will 
make  themselves  felt  after  the  stub- 
bornness of  unfortunate  users  has 
been  broken  down. 

Health,  longevity,  the  power  to  do 
things,  and  peace  with  the  nervous  sys- 
tem, are  the  things  that  weigh  many 
times  more  than  the  Indulgence  in  a  cup 
of  coffee  It  is  easy  for  one  to  slide  oft 
from  tie  coffee  habit  when  Postutri 
Food  Coffee  Is  used,  particularly  if  it 
he  well  boiled,  for  then  the  fragrance 
and  tajte  of  coffee  Is  brought  out  of 
the  FoDd  Coffee,  and  it  is  really  deli- 
cious. Chemistry  shows  that  it  con- 
tains about  80  per  cent  of  food  ele- 
ments necessary  for  rebuilding 
brain  and  nerve  centers. 


One-Sided   Discussion   of  It  By  the 
Unity  Club. 

The  I'nity  club  had  an  attendance 
last  night  that  was  a  reminder  of  the 
evening  when  the  club  discussed  the 
silver  question  in  the  early  days  of  the 
agitation  of  that  sul>ject.  The  Unitarian 
church  was  full,  and  a  very  interesting 
discussion  of  an  interesting  subject  was 
listened  to.  The  topic  under  discussion 
was  "Ohristian  Science,"  and  while 
there  were  no  speakers  who  took  the 
affirmative  side  of  the  di.scussiim  and 
"spolie  up"  for  this  strange  belief,  it 
was  handled  very  thoroughly  fn>m  the 
opposition. 

I'he  first  speaker  was  Dr.  J.  M.  Rob- 
inson, who  si)oke  of  the  belief  from  a 
medical  standpoint.  He  classed  the  se^t 
with  a  host  of  others  that  have  arisen 
and  riassed  away,  amd  said  that  it  as 
wedl  .as  the  others  depended  for  its  sop- 
port  on  a  large  cla.ss  of  enthusiastic  and 
credulous  peoi)le  who  demande<l  some- 
thing radical  to  which  to  hitch  their 
sui)i>ort.  The  belief  is  that  Crod  is  all- 
p.-rvading  love:  that  mind  v-ontrols 
everything:  that  the  human  mind  is  i)art 
of  the  divine  mind;  that  God  is  n  )thing 
but  gorKl  .ami  that  he  could  not  have 
cone^eived  the  notions  of  sin  and  sick- 
.ne.ts,  and  that  therefore  the.'^e  thing.-; 
are  clhimeras  created  by  the  human 
mind  of  its  own  accoixl.  It  is  not  the 
fir.st  of  its  class,  and  wonderful  cures 
liave  been  rer>orted  not  only  from  belief 
and  mental  influence,  but  from  inani- 
mate objects.  Among  them  are  the 
curing  of  se-rofula  by  the  king's  touch. 
He  said  that  among  the  things  that  are 
responsible  for  the  wonderful  cures  are 
the  fact  that  the  majority  of  cures  are 
j)erformed  by  nature  'anyway;  that 
slight  improvements  are  often  held  up 
as  remarkable  cures;  that  hysteria  often 
simulates  all  of  the  diseases  peculiar  t  > 
the  nervous  system:  the  poseibility  and 
frequency  of  mi.s^taken  diagnosis,  etc. 
In  fact  of  all  these  things,  he  said,  there 
are  po.'->ibilities  for  many  remarkable 
cures.  He  did  think  that  there  wa-s 
something  in  the  infiuentie  of  the  mind 
on  the  body  in  many  cases,  and  he  be- 
lieved that  the  supreme  audacity  of  the 
belief  is  responsible  for  its  large  follow- 
ing. 

C.  M.  Rice  spoke  in  opposition  to  the 
belief  from  the  philo.sophical  standpoint. 
He  s-aid  that  the  basis  of  the  belief  is  in 
idealism,  and  he  considered  that  it  i« 
not  a  rational  doctrine.  He  said  that 
the  cures  allege-d  were  nothing  that  had 
not  been  done  before  by  the  different 
schools  of  healing.  The  belief  has  done 
some  good  In  calling  attention  to  the 
relation  of  mind  t»  matter,  and  the 
speaker  thought  that  physicians  as  well 
as  the  public  would  get  real  good  from 
this. 

L.  J.  Hopkins  criticised  the  applica- 
tion of  the  word  "science,"  and  said  that 
it  was  used  largely  because,  being  re- 
sponsible for  the  best  there  is  in  the 
world,  it  had  become  a  name  lo  con- 
jure with.  He  said  that  the  great  point 
in  which  science  and  the  so-called  Chris- 
tian science  differ  Is  that  science  proves 
everything  fin-ft,  while  the  ChristiatI 
scientist  says  that  you  must  first  believe 
or  you  cannot  understand.

COL.  HARRIS  TALKS. 


He   Gives  the  Corporations 

a  Lively  Twist  at  Labor 

Bazar. 

The  attendance  at  the  labor  bazar  las: 
evening,  the  first  of  the  second  week. 
was  an  augury  that  the  management 
had  acted  wisely  in  deciding  to  exteml 
the  time.  The  rearrangement  of  the 
exhibits  and  the  new  features  imiiarte.l 
a  novelty  to  the  exhibition  for  the  oft- 
time  visitfirs.  The  blacksmith  .shop  vva.>^ 
in  full  blast  showing  the  r>roce.ss  ol 
horse-shoeing  from  the  shaping  of  t)ie 
shoe. 

The  address  of  the  evening  was  de- 
livered by  Col.  A.  A.  Harris.  The  bazar 
he  said,  was  a  telling  tribute  to  ih* 
benefits  of  organized  labor.  Phenomen- 
al as  its  success  had  been,  he  would  not 
hesitate  t<»  say  that  it  would  not  bt 
comjiarable  with  similar  expositions  to 
be  given  in  the  future  by  organized  la- 
bor. But  organized  labor  must  keep  it 
in  its  own  hands.  If  allowed  to  pa.ss 
out  of  the  control  of  the  artisan,  there 
was  no  telling  what  would  become  ol 
it.  Organized  labor  kept  it  independent: 
it  provided  protection  against  industriil 
slavery.  The  speaker  had  never  felt 
.so  strong  on  that  point.  The  small  man- 
ufacturer should  be  encouraged:  he-  wa^- 
worthy  of  it.  The  corporal iems  wcr. 
the  enemy  of  labor.  Down  with  them 
in  a  legaland  constitutional  way.  Laboi 
must  in  its  fight  for  self  preservation 
organize  to  withstand  the  crushing,  evei 
downward  tendency  of  wages.  If  labor- 
ing men  proceedeid  quietly  and  in  a  law- 
ful manner  in  resistance  to  wage 
slavery,  they  were  sure  to  gucce-ed.  .Ml 
that  was  required  was  ce>e)I  intelligenci 
and  ordinary  courage.  In  conclusion 
Col.  Harris  alluded  to  the  present  pros- 
pect of  possible  war  with  Spain  and  re- 
marked that  there  were  a  lot  of  men  in 
this  cfiuntry  that  nee'ded  killing,  but  ii 
was  a  questiem  whether  they  ceeuld  be 
got  to  the  fie>nt.  The  fighting  would  be- 
de)ne  largely  by  the  working  men,  th< 
middle'  elass,  so-called.

LIGHT  TERM  PROBABLE. 

Calendar  For  Next  Session  Expected 
to  Be  Small. 

The  Miarch  term  of  the  district  court 
will  open  one  week  from  tomorreiw,  on 
Wednesday  morning  at  10  o'clock, 
when  the  calendar  will  be  called  and 
the  grand  jury  charged.  The  terms  of 
district  court  have  been  getting  lighter 
of  late,  until  it  seemed  that  last  term, 
the  lightest  in  years,  was  the  bottom. 
It  is  not  expected,  however,  that  the 
coming  term  will  be  much  heavier  than 
the  one  that  is  just  past.  There  are 
quite  a  number  of  continued  e-ases  to 
start  the  calendar  with,  but  the*se  cases 
as  a  rule  do  not  serve  to  prolong  a  term 
to  any  great  extent,  for  many  of  them 
are  dismisse^d  or  cemtlnued  again.  To- 
morrow is  the  last  day  for  filing  notes 
of  issue  for  the  term,  and  the  number  of 
new  oases  that  are  to  be  on  the  calendar 
will  not  be  known  until  the  close  of 
business  t  imorrow  night. 

There  are  more  jail  cases  awaiting 
the  grand  jury  than  there  were  last 
term,  and  there  is  yet  time  feir  the 
municipal  courts  of  the  county  to  turn 
out  a  few  more  to  eke  out  the  grist. 
There  are  also  some  continued  cases  on 
'  the  calendar,  some  of  which  will  come  to

Original  Manuscript  of  Poem   Owned 
By  an  Albany  Lady. 

Cuyler  Reynolds  contributes  to  the  Cen- 
tury an  article  o.n  "The  Manuscript  of 
Aukl  Lang  Syne,"  the  .irticle  tieing  ac- 
companied by  a  facsimile  of  the  auto- 
graph.   Mr.   Revnolds  says: 

The  late  Chancellor  John  V.  L.  Pruyn, 
of  Albanv.  -N.  Y.,  was  the  successful  pur- 
chaser of  "Au!d  Lang  Syne.  "  and  the  orie 
to  make  fie  autograph  i  ne  of  America  s 
treasures.  The  facts  regarding  it«  re- 
moval to  this  country  are  of  peculiar  in- 
terest, and  they  bring  the  his-tory  of  the 
autograph,  now  more  than  a  century  old, 
u;>  to  date.  , 

Mr.  Pruyn  was  a  lover  of  cunos.  and 
particularlv  of  the  kind  connected  with 
an  interesting  past;  and  his  collecting 
showed  r.  refinement  not  evident  in  the 
tr.ste  of  the  usual  collector.  In  1S.)»  the 
centennial  of  the  birthday  of  Robert 
Bur.ns  was  made  the  (x-casion  for  a  cele- 
bration in  different  cities  of  the  United 
States:  and  the  literary  people  of  Albany 
deeded  to  observe  the  day  by  memorial 
exercises  in  a  large  hall  on  the  evening 
of  the  day.  Previous  :o  the  event  Mr. 
Pr'iyn  planned  that  it  would  be  a  feat- 
ure if  he  could  secure  this  autotriaDh 
copy  of  the  poet's  "Auld  Lang  Syne.  ' 
Henry  Stevens  was  a  famous  purchaser 
for  collections  in  those  days,  supplying 
James  Lenox.  John  Carter  Brown,  tht 
Eri:ish  mnstum  and  others,  with  some 
of  th"  most  valuable  old  works;  and 
thereby  hangs  a  tale  to  be  told  later.  He 
owned  the  verses  in  question.  He  was  a 
friend  of  Mr.  Pruyn.  and  a  correspondence 
regarding  th:-  matter  began.  The  result 
was  that  Mr.  Stevens  sold  the  verses- 
to  Mr.  Pruyn,  and  the  manuscript 
was  intrusted  to  Capt.  Moody,  who  guar- 
entted  that  it  should  reach  Chancel!^)! 
Pruyn  in  time  for  the  celebration.  lUa 
steamship  reached  New  York  late  on  the 
dav  of  the  celebration,  leaving  but  a  few 
hours  to  get  it  to  Albany,  or  the  mission 
wculd  prove  fruitless.  The  only  way  wa.s 
for  the  captain  to  select  one  of  his  trusty 
men.  With  this  .special  mtss-enger  it  wa. 
Sent  from  the  steamer  and  conveyed  will: 
all  dispatch  directly  to  the  hall  in  Al- 
banv. Mr.  Pruyn  was  all-expectant  when. 
during  the  exercises  he  was  called  fron 
the  hall.  Though  he  was  gone  only  a  mo- 
ment, all  interest  in  what  was  going  01 
upon  the  stage  was  lost  for  the  time  be 
ing.  Another  swing  of  the  door,  and  Mr 
Pruyn  entered,  waving  aloft  the  manu- 
script, and  exclaiming.  "It  m  here! 
With  exultant  delight,  and  amid  cries  ol 
"  'Auld  Lang  Syne'  iK  with  us!  "  Chan- 
cellor Pruyn  advanced  to  the  stage  anc 
read  the  poem  through.  Hardly  could  :h 
peo])le  be  prevented  from  breaking  in 
upon  him;  and  when  it  was  proposed  tt 
sing  it  through,  enthusiasm  knew  nc 
bounds.  Never  did  a  chorus  so  willlngl> 
lend  aid,  and  the  familiar  air  swelled 
forth   in    mighty  volume.

A  LETTER 
FROM  PYEA 

James  Harrington  Writes  One 

Brim  Tull  of  Excellent 

Information. 


TWO  RIVAL   TOWNS 


Skaguay  and   Dyea  Jealous 

of   Each  Other— Both 

Are  Lively. 


John  Rogers,  of  this  city,  has  just  re- 
ceived an  interesting  letter  from  hi.*' 
friend  James  Harrington,  written  at 
Dyea,  .Alaska,  under  date  of  Feb,  2.  Th* 
letter  is  as  follows: 

"We  left  Seattle  Sunday  night.  Jan. 
2.  on  the  steamer  Noyo,  and  after  a 
stormy  passsage  of  seven  days  arrived 
at  Dyea.  All  the  boys  are  feeling  weli 
and  anxious  to  continue  the  journey, 
but  we  are  delayed  here  on  account  of 
lH)or  transportation  facilities  between 
Skaguay  and  Dyea.  Our  freight  and 
baggage  is  still  at  Skaguay  and  we  have 
MO  means  of  knowing  when  It  will  arrive 
here.  The  company  that  operates  the 
Noyo  is  composed  of  a  gang  of  money- 
Snaking  fakirs,   who  are  in  the  busines.- 

for  money  alone  and  care  but  little  »'oi 
the  comfoit  and  accommodation  of  pas- 
.Henger.s.  When  we  were  in  Seattle  they 
talked  very  rea.sonably.  and  gave  us  the 
best  of  assurances  that  we  would  bi 
landed  at  Dyea  at  high  water  mark,  and 
upon  such  representations  we  paid  in 
advance  at  Seattle  for  fare,  freight 
wharfage  and  lighterage.  They  have 
wharves  and  warehou.ses  at  Skaguay. 
but  at  Dyea  there  are  none.  Passen- 
gers are  transferred  from  Skaguay  to 
Dyea  by  a  little  launch  and  upon  ar- 
rival at  Dyea  are  transferred  to  a  small 
skiff  in  which  they  are  carried  as  neai 
shore  as  i)ossible.  From  there  they  are 
carried  ashore  on  the  boatman's  liack 
This  is  a  novel  means  of  transportation, 
but  it  goes  in  this  country. 
"On  our  way  up  we  spoke  the  wrecked 
steamer  Corona.  She  was  hanging  on 
the  rock  on  which  she  was  wrecked.  All 
of  the  passengers  and  live  stock  were 
saved,  but  the  freight  was  destroyed  bj 
the  water.  The  passengers  were  campet 
ashore  and  were  making  the  best  of  the 
situation.  The  majority  had  no  tent.'- 
or  other  means  of  shelter  except  what 
they  could  find  for  themselves  in  the 
timber.  We  have  met  here  several  of 
the  passengers  of  the  wrecked  steamer 
They  were  brought  here  by  the  steamei 
Oregon,  and  were  ashore  on  that  bleak 
snow-covered  coast  for  five  days.  They 
lost  their  entire  outfits.  We  tried  to 
secure  passage  on  the  Corona  before  she 
left  Seattle,  but  all  the  tickets  had  been 
sold.     So  we  escaped  the  wreck. 

"The  scenery  along  the  inside  route 
is  pretty  much  the  same  all  the  way 
along.  The  coast  is  rocky  and  covered 
with  fir.  spruce  and  hemlock  timbei 
with  snow-capped  mountains  innumer- 
able. The  channel  is  narrow  and  in 
places  dangerous.  At  Queen  Charlotte 
and  Milbank  sounds  and  Dixon's  en 
trance,  heavy  seas  are  encountered  and 
on  our  boat  all  but  a  few  of  the  pas- 
sengers were  seasick.  The  members  of 
our  crowc'.  were  as  happy  as  larks  all 
the  way  up  and  are  still  happy.  The 
much-dreaded  Chilkoot  pa.ss  has  no  ter- 
rors for  us.  We  hear  of  a  man  being 
frozen  every  once  in  a  while  on  the  pass 
but  people  are  going  over  nearly  every 
ciay.  The  weather  here  is  fine.  The  sun 
is  shining  and  the  thermometer  ranges 
along  about  -2  degrees  above 
zero.  About  a  mile  and 

a  half  up  from  the  l)each  there 
is  no  snow,  but  above  that,  where  the 
town  begins,  there  is  about  one  foot  ol 
snow  and  the  trail  is  worn  as  smooth 
as  glass.  It  is  well  worn  all  of  the  way 
up  to  the  scales. 

"Teamsters  are  hauling  freight  from 
thf:  tidewater  up  to  Sheep  camp  for  1'/^ 
cents  per  pound.  They  will  contract  to 
take  it  from  tidewater  to  Lake  Linder- 
nian  for  13  cents  per  pound.  We  expect 
to  haul  our  goods  when  we  get  them. 
Provisions  and  clothing  are  selling  at 
reasonable  prices  here.  Same  wait  until 
they  get  here  to  outfit,  but  I  do  not 
think  that  is  the  safest  way.  About  .300 
of  the  passengers  who  came  up  on  the 
Oiigon  were  scared  out  by  the  ice  and 
snow  and  sold  their  outfits  at  Skaguay 
at  about  50  cents  on  the  dollar  and  re- 
turned on  the  same  bDat. 

"This  is  (luite  a  lively  town  at  pres- 
ent. Buildings  are  being  erected  every- 
where, such  as  they  are.  A  great  many 
of  them  are  log  cabins,  while  others  are 
of  rough  board  lumber.  Many  are  liv- 
ing in  huts.  We  are  stopping  at  the 
California  hotel.  Beds  are  25  cents  per 
night  if  we  furnish  our  own  blankets 
and  50  cents  per  night  if  the  hotel  fur- 
nishes blankets.  Meals  are  50  cents. 
This  is  the  general  rule,  although  there 
is  one  25-cent  restaurant  in  the  city, 
and  it  is  a  good  one.  The  bill  of  fare  is 
not  an  extensive  one.  Ijut  it  is  all  right. 
In  two  months  from  now  there  will  be 
more  restaurants  here  than  business, 
and  prices  will  certainly  come  down. 
There  are  about  forty  salexjus  here. 
They  usually  have  a  dance  hall  and 
gambling  outfit  attached.  Whisky  or 
beer  are  25  cents  per  drink,  or  two  bits, 
as  they  say  here.  These  places  are 
pretty  lively,  but  the  class  of  men 
passing  through  the  town  now  do  not 
spend  a  great  deal  of  their  money. 

"Town  lots  have  .sold  as  high  as  $1200 
and  as  low  as  $10.  They  are  asking  high 
prices  for  all  of  them  now.  They  only 
get  squatters'  title,  but  that  seems  good 
enough  for  present  purposes.  About  the 
only  law  in  existence  here  is  such  rules 
and  regulations  as  are  made  by  the 
citizens  themselves.  There  is  not  much 
lawlessness,  although  there  are  many 
occasions  that  border  upon  it.  Two 
men  were  killed  at  Skaguay  last  Mon- 
day. They  were  building  the  scaffold 
to  bang  the  accused  yesterday.  Don't 
know  whether  they  have  hung  them  yet 
or  not.  The  TTnited  States  po.stoflfice  is 
a  little  log  shack  about  fifteen  feet 
long,  ten  feet  wide  and  six  feet  high, 
.'^ome  of  the  buildings  are  three  stories 
in  height,  hut  the  great  majority  of 
them  are  but  one  story.  Indians  are 
.seen  on  the  streets,  and  plenty  of  them 
live  right  in  town.  They  are  as  hardy 
a  people,  apparently,  as  you  generally 
.see.  They  are  peaceable  and  quiet,  are 
workers,  ami  know  the  worth  of  money 
and  how  to  hang  on  to  it.  They  say 
they  will  build  "skookum"  houses  to 
live  In  when  the  excitement  is  over  and 
the  white  men  all  gone. 

"This  town  and  Skaguay  are  rlvalfl 
and  are  very  jealous,  but  I  think  that 
although  Skaguay  is  probably  the 
largest  now,  this  is  the  coming  town, 
because  the  Skaguay  trail  can  never  be 
made  as  practicable  as  the  Dyea  trail. 
They  are  building  a  wagon  road  over 
the  White  pass  now.  but  it  is  the  opin- 
ion of  nearly  everyone  here  that  it  can- 
not be  made  a  permanent  one.  and  a9 
soon  as  the  weather  breaks  will  be  al- 


most useless,

IS  IT  CIRABLE? 


A  Question   Often   Asked   By    Those 
Affli«:ted  With  Piles. 

Is  a  strained  joint  curable?  Is  local 
infiammation  curable?  Of  course,  if 
properly  treated.    So  is  piles. 

People  often  become  afflicted  with 
piles  and  ask  some  old  "chronic"  who 
has  always  persisted  in  the  wrong  treat- 
ment and  naturally  has  discouraged 
them  by  telling  them  that  their  case  is 
hopeless. 

They  in  turn  di.scourage  others,  and 
thus  a  dl.sea.se  that  can  in  every  case  be 
cured  by  a  careful  and  skillful  handling 
i.s  allowed  to  sap  the  energy  of  thou- 
(?ands  who  mi?ht  free  themselves  of  the 
trouble  in  a  few  days. 

Pyramid  Pile  Cure  will  cure  the  most 
aggravated  case  of  hemorrhoids  in  an 
astoni.ihangly  :,hort  time.  It  relieves  the 
congested  parts,  reduces  the  tumors  in- 
stantly, no  matter  how  large,  allays  the 
infiammation  and  stops  the  aching  or 
itching  aL  once. 

Thousands  who  had  resorted  to  ex- 
pen.sive  surgi\U  treatment  have  been 
cured  by  the  Pyramid  Pile  Cure — in  a 
number  of  in.^tances  persons  who  had 
spent  months  in  a  hospital  under  a  pile 
si)ecialist. 

It  is  a  remely  that  none  need  fear  to 
apply,  even  to  the  most  aggravated, 
swollen  and  inflamed  hemorrhoidal 
tumors. 

If  you  are  afflicted  with  this  stubborn 
di.sease  you  can  master  it,  and  master  it 
quickly. 

This  remed}^  is  no  longer  an  experi- 
ment, Ijut  a  medical  certainty.  It  is 
manufactured  by  the  Pyramid  Drug 
company,  of  JTarshall,  Mich. 

Druggists  sell  it  at  50  cents  per  box. 
It  is  becomir.g  the  most  popular  pile 
cure  this  country  has  ever  known,  and 
druggists  everywhere  are  ordering  it 
for   their  customers. 


THEY  \TE  HORSEFLESH. 


A   Practical  Joke   at   the  General's 
Paris  Dinner. 

A  man  who  di>tiaguished  himself  as  a 
commanding  cfficer  in  the  rebellion  was 
lunching  with  several  Ijrokers  in  Broad 
-street  on  Wednesday,  says  the  New  York 
Sun,  when  the  conversation  turned  on 
the  relative  merits  of  French  and  Amer- 
ican cooking,   and  he  said: 

"In  my  opinion  the  French  cooks  lead 
the  world,  and  they  have  shown  us  that 
many  things  are  edible  which  we  never 
dreamed  of  serving  on  cur  tables.  I 
noticed  an  ace  sunt  in  the  newspapers  last 
week  of  a  hcrse  meat  dinner  that  was 
given  in  Williamsburg  by  a  freak  club, 
and  it  recalled  a  little  experience  of  my 
own.  The  French  people  do  not  look 
upon  horse  flesh  with  the  aversion  of  the 
average  Amer  can.  I  do  not  mean  to  say 
that  horse  m.>at  is  considered  a  choice 
article  cf  diet  In  Paris,  but  it  is  used  there 
to  a  certain  extent.  I  happened  to  be  in 
Paris  fifteen  y?ars  ago,  and  several  of  my 
friends  there  jissured  me  that  horse  meat 
might  be  prepared  in  a  very  appetizing 
fashion  for  the  table.  I  was  curious  to 
try  it.  and  1  invited  a  dozen  people  to 
breakfast  on  horse  meat  with  me  at  my 
hotel.  My  guef  ts  were  all  Americans,  and 
they  were  all  anxious  to  see  what  cooked 
horse  meat  locked  like,  though  they  were 
doubtful  about  eating  it.  1  got  an  ex- 
cellent steak  of  horse  llesh  and  another  of 
beef,  so  that  my  guests  need  not  go  home 
hungry  it  the../  didn't  choose  to  eat  the 
horse  meat. 

"When  we  were  all  seated  at  the  table 
I  told  the  waiters  to  serve  the  breakfast. 
In  came  a  steak,  and  my  guests  eyed  it 
closely.  It  w^iS  nicely  cooked  and  when 
it  was  served  four  or  five  of  the  men 
[•resent  just  lasted  it  and  then  pushed 
their  plates  away. 

"  'I  can  imagine,  general,'  said  one  of 
them,  'that  if  I  had  been  cooped  up  in 
this  city  during  the  siege,  when  the  pro- 
visions ran  low,  1  might  get  hungry 
enough  to  enjoy  this  horse  steak.  It  is 
beautifully  cooked,  but  of  course  one 
notices  at  one?  that  it  doesn't  taste  like 
beef.  In  fact,  I  would  be  obliged  to  you 
if  your  waiter  would  remove  it.  1  am  sat- 
isfied at  bein,?  able  to  say  that  1  sat 
down  to  a  hor^esteak  breakfast  in  Paris.' 

"Several  of  'he  other  guests  said  much 
the  same  thing,  and  the  offending  steak 
was  removed.  Then  came  the  other  steak 
and  my  guests  ate  a  hearty  breakfast. 

"  'Unless  it  comes  to  a  case  of  famine.' 
said  one,  'thin  beef  is  good  enough  for 
me.  I  don't  want  to  try  any  more  horse 
fiesh.' 

"When  everyone  had  lighted  his  cigar- 
ette after  breakfa><t  1  .■'aid  that  I  had  a 
confession  to  make.  I  told  my  guests 
that  they  had  been  invited  to  eome  and 
eat  horse  flesh,  and  they  had  eaten  it  and 
pronounced  it  gowl.  1  informed  them  that 
the  first  steak  which  they  ordered  off  the 
table  was  beef,  and  that  the  second,  which 
they  had  enjoyed  so  thoroughly,  was 
horse  flesh.  The  looks  of  amazement 
faded  into  disjust,  and  then  I  said: 

"  'Now,  look  here,  there  is  no  occasion 
for  you  to  look  disgusted.  A  horse  is 
more  discrimirating  in  what  he  oats  than 
a  cow.  and  th  ?re  is  no  reason  why  horse 
flesh  shouldn't  be  just  as  wholesome  as 
beef.  Your  erijoymtnt  of  it  has  shown 
that  it  is  a  foolish  urejudice  that  prevents 
it  from  becoming  a  staple  article  of  food. 
I  haven't  focled  you  under  false  pre- 
tenses. You  were  invited  to  eat  horse 
flesh,  and  you  have  done  It.' 

"It  was  several  days  before  my  guests 
forgave  me.  nnd  since  that  time  I  ha\e 
lost  all  s.vmptthy  lor  persons  who  were 
compelled  because  of  famine  to  eat  horse 
flesh." 


Everybody  should  know  what  a  good 
medicine  Dr.  Bulls  Cough  Syrup  is:  it

you.

Aid.  Sang  Makes  a  Visit  to 

the  Pumping  Station  at 

Lakewood. 


WORK  MOVING  WELL 


West    Duluth    May    Have    a 

Candidate  to  Succeed 

Capt.  Randall. 


Alderman  Sang,  in  company  with 
Alderman  Rowley  and  members  of  the 
board  of  public  works,  visited  the  pump- 
hou.se  at  Lakewood  yesterday.  To  a 
Herald  reporter  he  said  that  nearly  all 
of  the  parts  of  the  first  pumping  engine 
were  at  the  station,  and  that  only  two 
or  three  carloads  remain  to  be  removed. 
The  work  of  putting  the  machinery  lo- 
gtither,  he  said,  will  be  commenced 
probably  tomorrow.  He  thinks  every- 
thing is  in  good  condition,  and  that  the 
indications  point  to  a  speedy  and  satis- 
factory completiim  of  the  works.  The 
second  engine  that  is  now  in  course  of 
construction  at  the  Marinette  works  la 
beginning  to  assume  shape,  and  it  is  be- 
lieved will  l>e  ready  to  ship  to  the  pump- 
ing station  not  later  than  April  1. 


MAY  HAVE  A  CANDIDATE. 
Capt.  J.  B.  Randall,  who  has  decidod 
to  decline  a  reappointment  as  fire  com- 
missioner, has  represented  West  I)uluth 
on  the  board  ever  since  We.st  Duluth  has 
been  a  part  of  the  city  of  Duluth.  !!.> 
was  appointed  to  the  position  for  a  term 
of  one  year  by  Mayor  Lewis  in  1894,  and 
at  the  expiration  of  that  time  Mayor 
Lewis  reappointed  him  for  a  term  ,'f 
three  years,  which  will  expire 
April  1.  Capt.  Randall  gives  as  a  reason 
for  retiring  pressure  of  private  business. 
Thel-e  are  several  West  Duluth  patriot;-, 
who  are  willing  to  assume  the  duties 
laid  down  by  Capt.  Randall. 


WASHINGTON'S  BIRTHDAY. 

No  special  observance  of  Washington's 
birthday  was  made  in  West  Duluth.  All 
of  the  schools  were  closed,  but  the  busi- 
ness houses  remained  open  as  usual.  Tlic 
^nly  public  social  event  scheduled  for 
tonight  is  the  annual  ball  to  be  given  by 
the  Kltchi  Gammi  lodge.  Knights  of 
Pythias,  in  Great  Eastern  hall. 


A  FORESTERS'  RECEPTION. 
The  members  of  the  West  Duluth  lodge 
Independent  Order  of  Foresters  are  mak- 
ing preparations  for  a  reception  to  be 
tendered  A.  H.  O'Neil,  of  St.  Paul,  high 
chief  r:dnger  of  the  order,  and  several 
members  of  the  high  standing  commit- 
tee, who  will  visit  the  lodge  next  Mon- 
day night. 


WILL  BE  OPPOSED. 

The  proposition  of  Postnvister  Hellnski 
to  abolish  all  postofflces  within  the  city 
limits  of  Duluth,  including  the  office  at 
West  Duluth.  and  establish  sub-sta- 
tions in  their  stead,  will  meet  with  a 
determined  opposition  among  West  Du- 
luth business  men.  Something  over  a 
year  ago  an  effort  was  made  to  extend 
the  carrier  system  to  West  Duluth  and 
do  away  with  the  postofflce,  but  the 
petitions  asking  for  this  change  were 
met  with  counter  petitions,  and  the 
scheme  fell  through.  The  Business 
Men's  association  will  probably  discuss 
the  subject  at  its  special  meeting  to- 
morrow night. 


WEST  DULUTH  BRIEFS. 

The  funeral  of  Miss  Sarah  Ann  Knox 
was  held  from  the  St.  James'  Catholic 
'Church  at  10  o'clock.  The  serv'ices  were 
conducted  by  Father  Mackey.  A  large 
number  of  Miss  Knox's  young  friends 
were  in  attendance  and  followed  the 
remains  to  Calvary  cemetery,  where  the 
interment  took  place. 

William  Smith,  master  mechanic  of 
the  Duluth,  Missabe  &  Northern  rail- 
road, went  to  Chicago  yesterday.  He 
will  pay  a  visit  to  Pullman  and  inspect

9PICED  BATH  FOR  MEAT. 

The  marinade  or  aromatic  or  spiced 
bath,  in  which  meat  is  Immersed  for 
several  hours  p^^vious  to  being  cooked. 
is  unknown,  sa.ys  the  New  York  Sun 
in  most  Amf:rican  households.  The 
original  mariaade  was  a  solution  of 
sea  salt  intended  to  preserve  or  flavor 
any  description  of  flesh  suitable  for  be- 
ing pickled.  These  solutions  were  fla- 
vored or  spiced  in  many  ways,  and  in 
cases  where  the  preservation  of  the 
meat  was  subordinated  to  its  flavoring 
the  pickle  was  decreased  in  quantity 
improve  in  quality  and  tiltimately  in- 
corporated with  the  braise  in  which  the 
meat  was  cooked.  Probably  the  most 
perfect  marinade  for  venison  or  mutton 
steaks  or  English  mutton  chops  is  com- 
posed of  a  portion  of  currant  jelly  in 
which  olive  oil  Is  stirred  drop  by  drop, 
as  in  the  making  of  a  mayonnaise  of 
which  the  yelks  of  eggs  are  the  basis. 
When  the  amalgam  »>ecomes  stiff  it  is 
diluted  with  tarragon  vinegar  to  a  Iquid 
consistency.  To  this  are  added  some 
whole  black  peppers,  a  clove  of  garlic, 
an  onion  and  savoi-y  herbs  chopped 
very  fine  and  a  piece  of  allspice.  The 
meat  is  jilaced  in  this  marinade  for 
from  eight  to  twelve  hours,  then  with- 
drawn and  boiled.  The  marinade,  or 
a  portion  of  It.  Is  then  heated  in  a  sauce- 
pan, th-ickened  to  a  proper  consistency 
and  poured  over     the  meat  as  a  sauce.

A  RACE  or   PIGMIES 


South     American    Race     of 

Dwarfs  in  the  Valley  of 

the  Amazon. 


Capt.  Wayne  Reid's  Roman- 
cing Now  Seems  to  be  En- 
tirely Supported. 


A  Boston  man  lately  returned  from 
South  America  has  brought  a  strange 
tale  of  a  race  of  pigmies  inhabiting  the 
valley  of  the  Amazon.  He  has  not  oniy 
seen  them,  but  stayed  in  their  villages, 
entered  their  houses,  sat  about  their 
camp  fires,  been  with  them  on  the  hunt, 
and  witnessed  some  of  their  religious 
ceremonies,  says  the  Boston  Tran- 
script. 

Eben  J.  Sullivan,  who  was  called  to 
South  America  two  years  ago  for  com- 
mercial purposes,  which  necessitated 
his  traveling  in  little  known  regions, 
became  an  explorer  of  no  common  or- 
der. For  mcmths,  accompanied  only  by 
natives,  he  rowed  up  the  mighty  .4.ina' 
zon  and  its  tributaries  in  a  dugout 
canoe.  In  this  way  he  penetrated  to 
the  headwaters  of  the  Rio  Negro,  which 
mingles  with  the  tributaries  of  the  Ori- 
noco in  Southern  Guiana.  Hero  it  was 
that  he  came  upon  a  nomadic  race  of 
pigmies. 

U.  G.  Haliburton.  of  Boston,  fellow  of 
the  Royal  Geographical  society.  has 
taken  a  great  interest  in  Mr.  Sullivan's 
discovery.  Mr.  Haliburton  is  ore  of 
the  best  authorities  in  the  world  on 
pigmy  races.  He  thinks  it  of  the 
greatest  value  to  anthropologi.^ts  to 
have  the  tradition  of  pigmy  races  in 
South  America  recorded  by  Humbolt  :n 
the  first  years  of  this  century  so  strik- 
ingly verified.  Humbolt  said  these  pig- 
mies were  supposed  to  inhabit  the  coun- 
trv  at  the  headwaters  of  the  Orinoco, 
but  he  did  not  visit  that  region,  and 
sug.gested  that  the  rumors  of  this 
strange  race  of  men  were  unfounded. 
Mr.  Haliburton  states -that  M.-irtins 
saw  a  racial  dwarf  at  Para  and  that 
but  little  further  has  been  learned  en 
the  subject,  though  Markham  gives  the 
names  of  two  dwarf  tribes  with  the 
list  of  Indian  tribes  in  the  valley  of 
the  Amazon  published  by  the  Anthro- 
pological institute  of  London.  Janu- 
ary,   1895. 

In  Mr.  Haliburton's  opinion.  Mr.  Sul- 
livan's observations  clear  up  the  sub- 
ject and  leave  no  doubt  as  to  the  exist- 
ence of  numerous  pigmy  tribes  in 
Guiana  and  Venezuela. 

"  I  will  ask  you  to  excuse  this  limited 
information  I  posess  on  the  subject  of 
pigmy  races.  "  said  Mr.  Sullivan  recent- 
ly, "for  my  trip  to  South  America  whs 
not  for  scientific  purposes,  but  purely 
nommeroial.  I  -tcl  while  on  thf?  Rio 
Negro,  one  ('f  t'-.c  tributaries  of  the 
Upper  Amazon,  a  race  of  remflvknbly 
small  people,  who  were  more  likely  of 
an  Indian  than  of  a  negro  origin,  .ludg- 
ing  from  their  hair  and  peculiar  color 
of  the  skin,  which  was  a  brilliant  livid 
reddish  yellov.-. 

"They  are  very  ugly  in  shape;  the<r 
stomach,  which  is  distended  in  the  ba-i-k 
as  well  as  front  is  big  and  out  of  all 
proportion  to  their  tiny,  spindling  aims 
and  legs.  I  think  this  is  caused  by 
their  anaconda-like  practice  of  gorging. 
After  a  hunt  they  will  eat  like  animals, 
and  then  lay  about  listlessly  in  the  hot 
tropical  sun  for  days,  till  hunger  again 
impels  them  to  get  more  game. 

"Curiously  enough,  they  appear  to  be 
metal  workers,  and  tip  their  dans  with 
bits  of  hard  iron  or  steel  made  from 
native  ores.  These  darts  are  projected 
from  a  blow-gun,  like  a  boy's  toy,  out 
with  deadly  effect.  They  can  actually 
propel  a  light  dart  several  hundred  f?"t 
by  the  mere  power  of  their  lungs  in 
blowing  through  a  tube.  They  are  a 
race  of  roving  hunters  and  warriors. 
They  are  a  vain  and  boastful  people,  in 
conversing  with  them  as  to  the  extent 
of  their  tribes  they  make  a  gesture  to 
impress  one  with  their  vast  numbei>. 
and  point  to  the  west  and  southwest  as 
their  home.  This  would  indicate  from 
the  point  where  I  was  the  headwaters 
of  the  Orinoco,  or  else  that  part  of 
Venezuela  near  the  Brazilian  bor<lor  or 
Rio  Negro  river  watershed.  I  think  thai 
thev  may  number  lO.OOt)  to  lo.ODO  souls. 

"These  people  are  not  over  four  fpot 
eight  inches  in  height  and  the  v.-imen 
are  less  than  this.  Clothing  is  only 
worn  by  adults,  and  consists  of  merely 
a  cloth  over  the  loins.  Their  hair  is 
done  up  and  stuck  together  by  mud  in 
a  most  grotesque  and  repulsive  fa.<'hion. 
They  have  tribal  marks  that  cover  th? 
upper  body  and  head  made  by  slits  in 
the  skin. 

"Their  huts  are  sometimes  construct- 
ed of  mud.  in  which  case  they  .are  'ow 
and  resemble  a  half  egg  with  an  open- 
ing at  one  end  called  massongo^".  '''he 
same  name  applies  to  their  huts  when 
made  from  poles  and  woven  grass. 

"They  Are.  I  believe,  all  pagans,  al- 
though" 1  am  Informed  that  some  of 
them  have  some  idea  of  a  supreme 
spirit  or  power.  They  have  many  fet- 
ish gods  or  idols  which  represent  ani- 
mals and  are  very  ugly  specimens  of 
clav  pottery.  They  have  fetish  doctors 
also  who  dress  in  the  worst  fashion  pos- 
sible and  perform  cui-es  or  anything 
their  patient  wishes  by  applying  to  a 
particular  god,  according  to  the  pa- 
tient's ability  to  pay. 

'It  was  my  misfortune  while  going  d> 
sea  to  the  City  of  Nickeri  to  lose  over- 
board a  iravelinf  baf  wnialnipf  many 


photographs  and  valuable  data  as  to 
my  entire  journey.  Were  it  not  for 
this  mishap  I  should  be  able  to  ?ive 
m.ore  definite  and  undoubrediy  .aluable 
information  on  this  subject.  As  to  ihe 
names  of  these  pigmy  people  thc-y  were. 
as  I  remember  them.  Makalak.  Malaka 
and  Malakrat.  I  saw  them  in  differ-^nt 
parts  of  Surinam.  They  all  app'^ar  to  tie 
of  the  same  race,  give  the  same  loca- 
tion for  their  homes  and  try  to  im- 
press one  with  the  greatness  of  th'ir 
people.  " 

The  obje<'t  of  Mr.  Sullivan  on  his  trip 
was  the  exploration  and  discovery  of 
new  rubber  and  mahogany  regim?.  in 
which  he  was  eminently  successful. 
He  states  that  while  rubber  gathering 
is  now  confined  largely  to  the  forests  on 
the  Lower  Amazon,  it  can  i)e  extended 
indefinitely  along  the  vast  valley  reach- 
ing almost  up  to  the  Andes. 

The  native  rubber  gatherers  are  very 
indolent  and  at  present  will  work  rniy 
enough  to  satisfy  the  crudest  wants. 
But  when  artificial  wants  are  stimulat- 
ed by  trinkets  they  display  unw mted 
activity  in  order  to  earn  them.  They 
are  in  the  main  a  peaceable  lot  .vnd 
stand  in  awe  of  white  men.  The  most 
valuable  mahogany  tracts  which  he 
found  were  on  the  Rio  Negro  riv^r. 

Mr.  Haliburton  adds  some  interesting 
information  about  dwarf  races  in  vari- 
ous parts  of  North  and  South  Amer- 
ica. He  says  that  there  are  sometimes 
seen  on  the  streets  of  the  City  of 
Mexico  queer  little  dwarfish  savages, 
clad  in  two  coarse  woolen  garments, 
who  have  their  Hottentot-like  habita- 
tions within  the  gates  of  the  city,  liv- 
ing in  their  huts  of  adobe  in  settle- 
ments often  found  behind  respectable 
blocks  of  houses.  These  strange  dwarf 
people  glide  in  and  out  of  the  crowds 
on  the  streets  like  gnomes.  They  arc 
often  seen  at  the  "Passion  Play  '  near 
the  City  of  Mexico.  Trav-lers  «ay 
that  at  first  sight  they  look  like  over- 
grown children.  Their  men  appear 
more  like  women  and  their  faces  are 
bioad,  flat,  puffy  and  wrinkled.  These 
people  are  not  much  over  four  feet  in 
height.  M.  Charnay  has  seen  a  simi- 
lar race  of  dwarfs  in  British  Hon- 
duras. 

According  to  Mr.  Haliburton  there  is 
a  tradition  among  the  Zuni  and  Pueblo 
Indians  that  the  first  generation  of 
their  people  were  Child  Ancestors, 
called  Koko.  Among  the  Klamoth  In- 
dians there  is  still  a  belief  that  there 
are  certain  dwarfs  whose  little  foot- 
prints can  be  seen  in  the  snows  ot  ihe 
Cascade  mountains,  but  who  are  ord.v 
visible  to  the  medicine  men  whom  they 
instruct  in  the  mysteries  of  the  medi- 
cine lodge.  The  Micmacs  have  a  simi- 
lar belief  in  little  men  who  live  in  the 
woods  and  who.  if  conciliated  by  a 
Micmac.  will  give  him  magic  lore. 
Among  the  Choctaws  theer  is  a  belief 
that  little  men  of  the  woods  catch  the 
young  men  of  their  tribe,  and  often 
putting  them  through  an  ordeal  of 
good-natured  teasing,  initiate  them. 
Bopuli,  a  mischief-loving  Robin  Good- 
fellow,  is  the  Kokopuli  of  the  Pueblo 
Indians. 

But  there  are  communities  of  pig- 
mies now  living  in  the  I'nited  States, 
according  to  another  eminent  authority. 
J.  Wier.  Jr..  M.D.  These  are  desc-Mid- 
ants  of  black  dwarfs  imported  as  slaves 
from  Africa  a  century  ago.  They  are 
found  in  colonies  near  Charleston.  S. 
C.  and  Bayou  Goula.  La. 

Hon.  W.  T.  Ellis,  a  member  of  con- 
gress, who  has  made  a  study  of  th?se 
diminutive  negroes,  says  they  speak  o. 
language  intelligible  to  themselves  only. 
Thev  used  to  be  called  ginng  niggers 
bv  the  slaveholders,  and  are  now  gen- 
erally known  as  negretos.  Thoy  are 
about  four  feet  six  inches  tall.  well 
proportioned  and  very  strong  and  act- 
ive. 

ONLY  BALL  PLAYERS. 

During  the  night  of  the  terrible  hur- 
ricane in  the  harbor  of  Apia.  Samoa. 
Lieut.  Carlin  was  the  executive  officer 
of  the  Vandalia.  says  the  Pacific  Com- 
mercial Advertiser.  In  shipping  the 
crew  at  Mare  island  he  had  given  pref- 
erence in  the  selection  of  sailors  to  those 
who  were  baseball  players,  as  he  was 
an  enthusiast  in  the  game.  \Vliile  in 
this  port  on  a  previous  voyage  his 
'baseball  team  of  the  ship's  men  had 
been  badly  beaten  by  the  Honolulu 
team,  and  he  determined  to  meet  it 
again  with  a  better  set  of  men.  The 
Vandalia,  however,  left  this  port  for 
Samoa,  After  the  vessel  struck  the  reef 
and  the  men  were  clinging  to  the  rig- 
ging, and  the  surf  was  making  a  clean 
sweep  over  the  deck,  and  many  of  the 
men  had  been  washed  overboard,  Lieut. 
Carlin  determined  to  make  a  desperate 
attempt  to  carry  a  line  from  one  part 
of  the  vessel  to  the  main  yard.  He 
shouted  out  in     the  howling  wind: 

"I   want  some   volunteers,   good   sail- 

A  voice  out  of  the  dark  tempest  re- 
plied: "Lieutenant,  there  ain't  no  sail- 
ors here:  but  plenty  of  baseball  play- 
ers." 

Cl-EVKR  SMOKE  DEVICE. 
The  Jaiuin.pe  have  a  curious  way  of 
clearing  railroad  tunnels  of  smoke  and 
cases.  Each  ind  of  the  tunnel  is  provided 
with  ii  canvas  curtain,  hung  at  the  top  so 
that  when  it  is  dropped  It  covers  the  en- 
tiro  mouth  of  the  tunnel,  says  the  Boston 
nudgtt.  Wlun  a  train  en.ers  the  tunnel 
the  curt.iin  at  that  end  is  drvpped,  and 
It  Is  kept  down  until  the  train  leaves  ih# 
other  end  of  the  tumiel.  The  result  is 
that  all  the  smoke  and  gases  are  car- 
ried along  with  the  train  and  forced  into 
the  open  air  at  the  further  end  of  the  tun- 
nel. It  Is  asserted  that  this  plunger  action 
is  so  perfect  that  smoke  from  an  eng.m< 
seldom  reaches  as  far  back  as  the  middle 
of  the  train.  Scientific  men  are  puzzled 
to  account  for  the  success  of  the  system.

Phillaflolphiii.  F."l«.  22.— Prosiaent  Sh- 
Kinley  ate  an  early  breakfast  with  the 
family-  of  Ohiirles  C.  Harrison  thL«» 
morning.  He  aid  not  loave  the  houae 
xintil  a  few  minutes  before  11  o'clock, 
when.  In  conu>aJiy  witli  Mr.  Harrison. 
he  vrsis*  driven  to  the  Academy  of  Music, 
where  the  Washington  Ivirthday  com- 
n^emorative  exercises  of  the  university 
of  Pet»naylvaiila  were  held.  Over  2000 
students  assembleil  on  the  university 
campus  at  9:30  this  morning  and 
mareheii  four  abreast  to  the  Academy  of 
Musit-.  The  route  was  airanged  so  that 
the  pnceasion  should  i»ass  Mr.  Harri- 
w.ns  home,  and  the  students  gave  a 
cheering  welcome  to  the  president. 

The  chief  magistrate,  when  the  head 
of  th«?  long  column  reached  the  house, 
appeared  at  the  door.  There,  with 
barevl  head,  he  smilingly  boweil  to  the 
hundreils  of  undergmdtiates  in  response 
to  their  hearty  ot^llege  greeting, 
column  marched  in  classes 
class  reached  the  houtte 
shjuted  the  college  cry 
Va-Nia.  ■  "Penn-Syl 
with  "Tlie  President,' 
"The  President." 

The  president's  face  lighted  up  and 
betokened  extreme  pleasure.  Rea-^hing 
the  Academy  the  students  marchetl  in- 
side and  took  the  seats  reserved  for 
them.  Admission  to  the  Academy  wan 
by  card,  and  the  audience  was  made  up 
almost  wholly  of  those  from  the  univer- 
sity, very  little  n>om  being  left  fir 
others.  President  McKinley  was  in- 
troduced to  the  audience  by  Provost 
C.  C.  Harrison  and  was  enthusiastically 
received.     The  president  said: 

Mr.  Provost,  Officers  and  Students  of 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  Ladies 
and  Gentlemen:  We  celebrate  here,  as 
in  every  part  of  our  country,  the  birth- 
day of  the  great  patriot,  who  assured 
the  beginning  of  a  great  nation.  This 
clay  belongs  to  patriotism  and  the  peo- 
ple. But  in  a  certain  sense  the  univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania  has  special  rea- 
sons for  honoring  the  twenty-second  of 
February. 

For  over  half  a  century,  with  ever- 
increasing  popularity  and  public  recog- 
nition, you  have  observed  the  occasion, 
either  as  a  holiday  or  with  patriotic  ex- 
ercises, participated  in  by  faculty  and 
students.  Ni  other  American  institu- 
tion of  learning  has  a  prowler  title  to 
the  veneration  of  Washington's  mem- 
ory than  this,  whose  foundation  was  laid 
in  colonial  days  nearly  fifty  years  before 
Pennsylvania  became  a  state;  whose 
progress  was  largely  due  to  the  activity 
of  Franklin  and  other  zealous  and  far- 
seeing  patriots,  and  whose  trustees  were 
on  terms  of  sutHcient  Intimacy  with 
Washington  to  congratulate  him  upon 
his  election  to  the  presidency  and  to  re- 
ceive from  him  a  notable  reply,  which 
.^as  passed  into  the  history  of  the  times 

Washington 


bi-otherhood  of 
tution,  having 
doctor  of  law- 
1783— an  honor 
predated   when 


t30,  belonged  to  the 
the  alumni  of  this  insti- 
accepted  the  degree  of 
conferred  upon  him  in 
doubtless  the   more  ap- 

he   recalled   the  events 


Avhich  gave  him  close  and  peculiar  at- 
tachment to  the  city  of  Philadelphia. 

No  wonder  that  your  great  university 
has  made  the  twenty-second  of  February 
its  most  impressive  ceremonial  and  de- 
voted its  annual  exercises  to  special 
tributes  to  the  memory  of  the  first 
president  of  the  Ignited  States  and  the 
patriotic  themes  which  cluster  thickly* 
about  his  life  and  work.  I  rejoice  with 
you  in  the  day.  T  rej  >ice,  also,  that 
throughout  this  broad  land  the  birth- 
day of  the  patriot  leader  is  faithfully 
observed  and  celebrated  with  an  en- 
thusiasm and  earnestness  which  testify 
to  the  virtue  and  gratitude  of  the 
American  people. 

It  would  not  be  possible,  in  the  com- 
paratively short  time  to  which  these 
exercises  must  to<lay  be  limited,  to  fol- 
low Washington  in  his  long  and  distin- 
guished services  at  the  head  of  the  army 
and  as  chief  executive  of  the  govern- 
ment. My  purpose  is  simply  to  call  to 
your  attention  a  few  points  in  Washing- 
ton's career  which  have  singularly  im- 
pressed me.  and  refer  to  some  passages 
in  his  writings  that  seem  peculiarly  ap- 
propriate for  the  guidance  of  the  people, 
who  under  our  form  of  government  have 
in  their  keeping  the  wellbeing  of  the 
country. 

In  its  entirety,  Washington's  public 
life  is  as  familiar  to  the  American 
student  as  the  history  of  the  United 
States.  They  are  associated  in  holy  and 
indissoluble  bonds.  The  one  is  incom- 
plete without  the  other.  Washington's 
character  and  achievements  have  been 
a  part  of  the  school  books  of  the  nation 
for  more  than  a  century,  and  have 
moved  American  youth  and  American 
manhood  to  aspire  to  the  highest  Ideals 
of  responsible  citizenship.  With  endur- 
ing fame  as  a  great  soldier  the  world 
has  recognized  his  equal  accomplish- 
ments in  the  paths  of  statesmanship. 
.rVs  a  s-oldier  he  was  peerless  in  the 
times  in  which  he  lived,  and  as  a  states- 
man his  rank  is  fixed  with  the  most 
Illustrious  in  any  country  or  in  any 
age. 

But  with  all  our  pride  in  Washington, 
we»  not  infrequently  fail  to  give  him 
credit  for  his  marvelous  genius  as  a  con- 
structive statesman.  We  are  constantly 
"in  danger  of  losing  sight  of  the  sweep 
and  clearness  of  his  comprehemsion, 
which  accurately  grasped  the  problems 
of  the  remote  future  and  knew  how  to 
formulate  the  best  means  for  their  solu- 
tion It  was  committed  to  Washington 
to  launch  our  ship  of  state.  He  had 
neither  precedent  or  predeces.sor  to  help 
him.  He  welded  the  scattered  and  at 
times  antagonistic  colonies  into  an  in- 
iestructible  union  and  Inculcated  the 
lewons  of  mutual  forl>earance  and  fra- 
terrtlty  which  have  cemented  the  states 
Into  fltill  cloesr  bonds  of  interest  and 
sympathy. 

From  the  hour  when  Washington  de- 
clared in  his  Virgniia  home  that  he 
•wculd  raise  1000  men  and  equip  them  at 
jjja  own  expense  to  march  to  the  defense 
of  Bi^ston,  he  became  the  masterful 
spirit  of  the  continental  army  and  the 
mightiest  single  factor  in  the  con- 
tinent's struggle  for  liberty  and  inde- 
j>endence.  Apparently  without  personal 
ambition,  ehunnlng  royal  honors  when 
they  were  s'l^rgested  to  him,  he  fulfilled 
A  still  more  glorious  destiny  as  the  guid- 
ing force  of  a  civilization  freer  and 
mightier  than  the  history  of  man  had 
ever  known 


acter  and  the  most  striking  acts  of  his 
brilliant  reconl  are  too  familiar  to  In- 
recounted  here  where  .so  niany  times 
they  have  received  eloquent  and  de- 
served eulogy,  yet  often  as  the  story 
is  retold  it  engages  our  love  and  admi- 
ration and  Interest.  We  love  to  recall 
his  noble  unselfishness,  his  heroic  pur- 
i)oses.  the  power  of  his  magnificent  per- 
.sonallty.  his  glorious  achievements  for 
mankiml  and  his  stalwart  and  unfiinch- 
Ing  devotion  to  independence,  liberty 
and  union.  Those  cannot  be  too  often 
told  t)r  be  too  familiarly  known. 

A  slave  holder  hlm.sclf,  he  yet  hated 
slavery  and  provided  in  his  will  for  the 
emancivmtion  of  his  slaves.  Nt)t  a  col- 
lege pruiluate,  he  was  always  enthusi- 
astically the  friend  of  liberal  education. 
He  used  on  every  sultal)le  occasion  to 
impress  upt>n  congress  ami  th^'  country 
the  importance  of  a  high  standard  of 
general  educatit)n  and  tharacterlzed  the 
diffusion  t)f  knowledge  as  the  most  es- 
sential element  of  strength  In  the  sys- 
tem of  free  government.  That  learning 
should  go  with  liberty  and  that  liberty 
is  never  endangered  .so  long  as  it  is  in 
The  keeping  of  intelligent  citizens,  was 
the  Ideal  civil  code  which  his  frt>qunt  ut- 
terances never  failed   to  enforce. 

And  how  reverential  was  this  great 
man.  how  prompt  and  generous  his 
recognition  of  the  guiding  hand  of  Di- 
vine I'rovldence  in  establishing  and  con- 
trolling the  destinies  of  the  colonies  and 
the  republic.  Again  and  again— In  his 
talks,  in  his  letters,  in  his  state  papers 
and  formal  addresses— he  reveals  this 
side  of  his  character,  the  force  of  which 
we  still  feel,  and  J  trust  we  always  will 

At  the  very  height  of  his  success  and 
reward  as  he  emerged  from  the  revo- 
lution receiving  by  unanimous  acclaim 
the  plaudits  of  the  people  and  com- 
manding the  resp>-ct  aud  admiration  of 
the  civilized  world,  he  did  not  forget 
that  his  first  oftlcial  act  as  president 
should  be  fervent  supplication  to  the 
Almighty  Being  who  rules  the  universe. 
It  is  He  who  presides  in  the  councils  of 
nations  and  whose  providential  aid  can 
.supply  every  human  defect.  It  is  He 
benediction  which  we  most  want  and 
which  can  and  will  con.secrate  the  liber- 
ties and  happiness  of  the  people  of  the 
United  States.  With  His  help  the  In- 
struments of  the  citizens  employed  to 
carry  out  their  purposes  will  succeed 
in   the  functions  allotted  to  public  life 

But  Washington  on  this  occa.slon  wen! 
further  and  spoke  for  the  people  as- 
suming that  he  but  voiced  the  senti- 
ment of  the  young  nation  in  thus  mak- 
ing faith  in  Almighty  God  and  reliance 
upon  His  favor  and  care  of  the  strong 
foundations  of  the  government  then  In- 
augurated. And  proceeding  Washing- 
ton states  the  reasons  for  his  belief  In 
language  so  exalted  that  It  .should  be 
graven  deep  upon  the  mind  of  every 
patriot: 

"No  peOt)Ie"can  be  bound  to  acknow- 
ledge and  adore  the  invisible  hand  which 
conducts  the  affairs  of  man  more  than 
the  people  of  the  United  States.  Every 
step  by  which  they  have  advanced  to 
the  character  of  an  independent  nation 
seems  to  have  been  distinguished  by 
some  token  of  providential  agency:  and 
in  the  important  revolution  just  ac- 
complished in  the  system  of  their  gov- 
ernment the  tranquil  deliberations  and 
voluntary  consents  of  so  many  distinct 
communities  from  which  the  events  re- 
sulted, cannot  be  compared  with  the 
means  by  which  most  govern- 
ments have  been  established  without 
some  return  to  pious  gratitude  along 
with  an  humble  anticipation  of  the  fut- 
ure blessings  which  the  same  seems  to 
presage.  The  refiections  arising  out  of 
the  present  crisis  have  forced  them- 
selves strongly  upon  my  mind.  You  will 
join  with  me,  I  trust,  in  thinking  that 
there  are  none  under  the  influence  of 
which  the  proceedings  of  a  new  and 
free  government  are  most  auspiciously 
commenced." 

The  senate  of  the  i:'^rated  States  made 
fitting  response  to  its  appreciation  of 
this  portion  of  the  president's  inaugural 
address  when  its  members  declared  thai 
"A  review  of  the  many  Instances  of  Di- 
vine intervention  in  favor  of  the  coun- 
try claims  our  most  pious  gratitude  and 
that  they  were  inevitably  led  to 
asknowledge  and  adore  the  great  arbiter 
of  the  universe  by  whom  empires  rise 
and  fall." 

Congress  added  its  sanction  by  provid- 
ing that  "after  the  oath  shall  have  been 
administered  to  the  president,  he  at- 
tended by  the  vice  president  and  mem- 
bers of  the  senate  and  house  of  repre- 
sentatives proceed  to  St.  Paul's  chapel 
to  hear  divine  services  performed  by 
the  chaplain  of  congress  already  ap- 
pointed." 

Not  alone  upon  days  of  thank.sgiving 
or  in  times  of  trial  should  we  as  a  peo- 
ple remember  and  follow  the  example 
thus  .set  by  the  Fathers,  but  never  in 
our  future  as  a  nation  should  we  forget 
the  great  moral  and  religious  principles-- 
which  they  enunciated  and  defended  as 
their  most  precious  heritage. 

In  an  age  of  great  activity  of  in- 
dustrial and  commercial  strife  and  of 
perplexing  problems,  we  should  never 
abandon  the  simple  faith  in  Almighty 
God  as  recognized  in  the  name  of  .Am- 
erican people  by  Washington  and  the 
first  congress. 

But  if  a  timely  lesson  is  to  be  drawi 
from  the  opinions  of  Washington  on 
assuming  the  office  of  president  s<j 
also  is  much  practical  l>enefit  to  be  i\>'- 
rivcd  from  the  present  api)lication  of 
portions  of  his  farewell  address,  a 
document  in  which  Washington  laid 
down  principles  whi(h  ai)peared  to 
him  'all  Important  to  the  permanenc- 
of  your  felicity   as   a   people." 

In  the  address  Washington  contends 
in  part  (1)  for  the  promotion  of  in- 
stitutions of  learning;  (2)  for  cheri.sh- 
ing  the  public  credit:  (.3)  for  the  ob- 
servance of  good  faith  and  justice 
toward   ail   nations. 

One  hundred  years  ago  frae  schools 
were  little  known  in  the  T'nlted  States, 
there  were  excellent  schools  for  th' 
weil-to-do  and  charitable  institution:-^ 
foi  the  instruction  of  lioys  and  girls 
without  means,  but  the  free  public 
school,  open  alike  to  the  children  of  ill  ■ 
rich  and  poor  and  supported  by  tlit 
state  awaited  creation  and  develop- 
ment. The  seed  planted  by  th-i 
fathers  soon  bure  fruit.  Free  schools 
were  fhe  necessary  supplement  of  free 
men.  The  wise  and  lil>eral  provisions 
for  public  instruction  by  the  fathtr.s 
second  only  in  effect  to  their  struggk- 
for  the  independence  and  creation  of 
the  Union,  were  destined  at  no  distant 
day  to  produce  the  most  wonderful  re- 
sults. 

As  the  country  has  grown,  education 
fostered  by  the  state  has  kept  pace 
with  It.  Hich  as  are  the  collegiate  en- 
dowments of  the  Old  World,  none  .jf 
them  excel  in  munificence  the  gifts 
made  to  educational  Institutions  i)y 
the  people  of  the  United  States  and  bv 
tht'ir  governments,  in  conformity  with 
"the  influence  which  sound  learning  has 
on  religion  and  manners,  on  govern- 
ment, liberty  and  laws." 

Adams  and  Madison.  Jefferson  and 
Hamilton.  Sherman  and  Trumbull. 
Hancock.  Jay.  Marshall,  the  Clintons 
and  many  others  of  our  early  states- 
men were  scarcely  less  earnest  a.v\\  »lo- 
quent  than  Washington  himself  in 
pleading  the  cause  of  sound  and  liberal 
education  for  the  people. 

Nor  does  this  seem  surprising  when 
we  refiect  that  the  truest  aim  and 
worthiest  ambition  of  education  is  not 
finished  scholarship  for  the  favord 
few.  but  the  elevation  of  a  high  stand- 
ard of  citizenship  among  the  many.  I 
have  had  peculiar  satisfaction  In  the 
fact  that  Washington  in  those  early 
days  when  engrossed  with  mighty 
problems  did  not  forget  his  contribu- 
tions for  the  education  of  the  poor  and 
left  in  his  will  a  bequest  to  be  dedicated 
to  free  public      Instruction.       Nothing 


knowledge  as  an  essential  to  the  high- 
est   and    best   cIlizenHhip. 

How  priceles.H  is  a  liberal  education. 
In  itself  what  a  rich  endowment.  It 
l.s  not  impaire*!  by  age,  but  its  value 
inc"eases  with  use.  No  otie  can  ens- 
ploy  It,  but  Its  rightful  owner.  Hf 
alone  can  Illustrate  its  worth  and  en- 
Joy  Its  rewards.  It  cannot  be  inherited 
or  pincha.seil.  it  must  be  actiuired  i)y 
indiviilual  effort.  It  can  be  s^'tured  only 
by  perseverence  ami  self-denial.  But 
it  Is  lus  free  as  the  air  we  breathe. 
Neither  race,  nor  nationality,  nor  sex 
can  debar  the  earnest  seeker  from  lis 
possession.  It  is  not  exclusive.  but 
Inclusive  In  the  broadest  an<l  best 
sense.  It  Is  within  the  reach  of  all 
who  want  it  and  are  brave  enough 
til  struggle  for  it.  The  earnest  ricl; 
anil  the  worthy  ptH>r  arc  eijual  and 
friendly  rivals  in  Us  pursuit  and  neither 
is  exeiiipied  fri>m  any  of  the  sacrifices 
necessary  for  its  ac(iuisitlon.  The 
key  to  its  title  is  not  the  bright  allure- 
ments of  rank  an»l  station,  but  the 
simple  watchwoni  of  work  and  stuily. 
A  liberal  education  Is  the  prize  of  in- 
dividual industry.  It  is  the  greatest 
blessing  that  a  man  or  woman  can  en- 
joy when  supported  by  virtue,  moral- 
Itv  and  noble  aims. 

But  the  acquirement  of  learning  in 
our  schools  and  colleges  seems  so  easy 
that  we  are  apt  to  underestimate  its 
value  and  let  the  opportunity  to  win  it 
slip  by  until  regretfully  we  find  that  the 
chance  is  gone.  The  rudiments  must 
be  ingrafted  in  youth  or.  with  rare  ex- 
ceptions, they  are  forever  lost. 

Life  to  most  Is  a  struggle,  and  there 
it  little  time  for  the  contemplation  of 
the  theoretical  when  the  pra^-tical  is 
piessing  at  evei-y  hand.  Stern  duty 
monopolizes  our  time.  The  command  of 
others  controls  our  i)references  and 
often  defeats  our  intentions.  By  stead- 
ily adhering  to  a  firm  purpo.se  amid 
the  activities  of  life  we  may  keep  m 
touch  with  the  literature  of  the  da>*, 
but  to  go  back  to  the  classics  or  to 
grapple  with  the  foundations  of  the 
sciences  is  beyond  the  power  of  most 
men  when  they  have  entered  upon  their 
cbo.sen  business  or  profession. 

One's  mental  fighting,  often  a  hand- 
to-hand  contlict  with  obstacles  and 
temptations,  is  a  battle  of  his  own.  a 
campaign  whose  motive  force  is  indi- 
viduality ratther  than  j'ircumstances  or 
pluck.  Work  In  the  mental  world  Is  as 
real  as  that  In  the  physical  world.  Nor 
has  any  prescription  yet  been  found  to 
take  the  nlace  of  application  and  self- 
denial  and  personal  struggles  which 
have  given  to  the  world  its  greatest  and 
noblest  achievements. 

"Cherish  the  public  credit."  How 
much  both  of  refiectlon  and  instruction 
is  combined  In  this  simple  admonition 
of  the  father  of  his  country.  The 
ITnited  States  emerged  from  the  bitter 
and  prolonged  struggle  of  the  revolu- 
tionary war  exhausted  financially  and 
with  a"  hundred  existing  perplexities  and 
difficulties  which  remained  to  be  solved 
before  the  financial  credit  of  the  nation 
could  be  established  at  home  and  demon- 
strated abroad. 

But  Washington  knew  how  to  gather 
around  him  and  place  in  i>ositions  of  the 
greatest  trust  the  able  financiers  and 
economists  whose  names  the  country 
still  venerates  and  whose  great  work  it 
still  enjoys.  Hamilton  and  Morris  and 
Gallatin  and  others  were  successful  in 
establishing  the  treasury  and  inaugurat- 
ing the  financial  operations  of  this  gov- 
ernment upon  principles  which  recog- 
nized that  the  most  enduring  basis  of 
national  credit  was  national  honor,  and 
that  whatever  other  assets  we  might 
have  or  acquire,  that  was  indispen- 
sable, first,  last  and  all  the  time.  If  we 
would  cherish  the  public  credit. 

We  have  been  fully  rewarded  all  along 
our  history  by  adhering  to  the  prin- 
ciples of  Washington  in  keeping  the 
public  faith.  Before  a  century  had 
passed  we  had  paid  off  our  national 
debt  and  had  a  balance  in  the  treasury. 
Another  del)t,  the  greatest  in  our  his- 
tory, was  Incurre^l  in  the  civil  war  for 
the  preservation  of  the  Union.  But  this 
did  not  exceed  the  resources  or  dis- 
courage the  Intentions  of  the  American 
people.  There  were  those  who  suggested 
repudiation,  but  the  people  Repudiated 
them  and  went  on  unchecked,  discharg- 
ing the  obligations  of  the  government 
in  the  coin  of  honor. 

From  the  day  our  flag  wasunfurled 
to  the  pre-sent  hour  no  stain  of  a  just 
obligation  violated  has  yet  tarni.shed 
the  American  name. 

This  must  and  will  be  as  true  in  the 
future  as  it  has  been  in  the  past.  There 
will  be  prophets  of  evil  and  false  teach- 
ers. Some  part  of  the  column  may 
waver  and  wander  away  from  the 
standard,  but  there  will  ever  rally 
around  it  a  mighty  majority  to  preserve 
it  stainless  and  in  honor. 

At  no  point  in  his  administration  does 
Washington  appear  In  grander  propor- 
tions than  when  he  enunciates  his  ideas 
in  regard  to  the  foreign  policy  of  the 
government:  "Observe  good  faith  and 
justice  toward  all  nations;  cultivate 
peace  and  harmony  with  all:  religion 
and  morality  enjoin  this  conduct.  Can 
it  be  that  good  policy  does  not  equally 
enjoin  it?  It  will  be  worthy  of  a  free, 
enlightened  and  at  no  distant  period  a 
great  nation  to  give  to  mankind  the 
magnanimous  and  tf)0  -novel  example  of 
a  people  always  guided  by  an  exalted 
justice  and  benevolence." 

Today  nearly  a  century  from  Wash- 
ington's death  we  turn  reverentially  to 
study  the  leading  principles  of  that  com- 
prehensive chart  for  the  guidance  of 
the  people.  It  was  his  unfiinching,  im- 
movable devotion  to  these  preceptions 
i>f  duty  which  more  than  anything  else 
made  him  what  he  was  and  contributed 
so  directly  to  make  us  what  we  are. 
Following  the  preceptions  of  Wash- 
ington we  cannot  err.  The  wise  les- 
sons in  government  which  he  left  us  it 
will  be  profitable  to  heed.  He  seemed  to 
have  grasped  all  possible  conditions  and 
pointed  the  way  safely  to  meet  them. 
He  has  established  danger  signals  all 
along  the  pathway  of  the  nation's 
march. 

He  has  warned  us  against  false  lights. 
He  has  taught  us  the  true  philosophy 
of  a  "perfect  union"  and  shown  us  the 
graphic  dangers  from  sectionalism  and 
wild  unreasonable  party  spirit.  He  has 
emphasized  the  necessity  at  all  times 
for  the  exercise  of  sober  and  dispas- 
sionate judgment. 

Such  a  judgment  my  fellow  citizens, 
Is  the  best  safeguard  in  calm  and  tran- 
quil events  and  rises  superior  and  tri- 
umphant above  the  storms  of  woe  and 
peril. 

We  have  every  incentive  to  cherish 
the  memory  and  teaching  of  Washing- 
ton. His  wisdom  and  f(jreslght  ha^•e 
been  confined  and  vindicated  after  more 
than  a  century  of  experience.  His  best 
eulogy  Is  the  work  he  wrought,  his 
highest  tribute  Is  the  great  republic 
which  he  and  his  compatriots 
founded.  From  4.000.000  we  have  grown 
to  more  than  70,000.000  of  people,  while 
our  progress  In  Industry,  learning  and 
the  arts  has  been  the  wonder  of  the 
world. 

What  the  future  will  be  depends  upon 
ourselves  and  that  future  will  bring 
still  greater  blessings  to  a  free  people 
I  cannot  doubt.  With  education  and 
morality  In  their  homes,  loyalty  to  the 
underlying  principles  of  free  govern- 
ment In  their  hearts,  and  law  and  jus- 
tice fostered  and  exemplified  by  those 
intrusted  with  public  administration,  we 
will  continue  to  enjoy  the  re.spect  of 
mankind  and  the  gracious  favor  of  Al- 
mighty God.  The  priceless  opportunity 
is  ours  to  demonstrate  anew  the  endur- 
ing triumph  of  American  civilization 
and  to  help  in  the  progress  and  pros- 
perity of  the  land  we  love.

Although  the  Old  Mdn  Did  Not  Appre-

Years  ago,  in  i  iiajis  a  doz.-n  of  them, 
a  number  fif  Cleveland  boys  gave  sev- 
eral "shows"  to  their  admiring  fri-nd:; 
They  all  had  a  theatrical  bee  liu/.zitit; 
in  their  bonn<'ls.  and  several  of  ihei

several  sensations  thrown  in.  There 
was  a  borrowed  jar kass  in  it.  and  a

Prof.  Kennedy  Prevented  Prom  Being 
on  Hand. 

■ProffS.-ior"  William  Kennedy,  a  pljre- 
noliijiist  and  fortune  teller,  who  has  been 
maklns  hi.-  h;ad<!U:»rters  at  the  Xorris 
i;<.rsc,  cieated  a  disturbance  at  Iha" 
hcsi.lry  last  evening  breausp  of  having 
i-een  asked  lu  pay  something  on  bis 
l.i>ar«l  bill.  So  obs:reperous  was  the  pro- 
fessor that  officer  McLennan  was  cAllel 
in. 

The  !>roffssor  is  a  cripple  and  pjrtially 
helpless.  \Vhen  he  behelil  th?  officer  his 
aftlictioii  became  at  once  so  very  much 
worse  that  he  wis  unable  to  help  himself 
at  all.  Th  •  office.-  was  eciual  to  the  emei- 
gc.icy.  however,  and  picking  the  profes- 
sor n?»  in  his  arms  he  lo;e<l  him  the  half 
block  to  the  p<>lice  station,  the  professor 
the  while  waving  his  arms  and  holding 
forth  on  his  wrongs  and  grievances  with 
;  II  the  dignity  he  could  muster  under 
tli     circrmstances. 

Tr.c  nere  fact  of  being  reminded  ;h;it 
his  bi.ard  bill  was  getting  a  little  la.'Ke 
WIS  not  so  much  in  itself.  It  was  gath- 
e:»d  from  the  prof.«<or's  rather  dis- 
jointed ri-marks.  What  ground  him  was 
the  iMrusion  of  mean,  sordid  ihings  to 
Vex  his  soul  at  th:-  rapt  moment  when 
't  v's  about  to  be  linked  with  its  af- 
finity. In  other  words,  the  professor  w.is 
h.irtly  to  sta^-t  for  the  altar  with  the 
fa  r  one  of  his  ehoice — in  about  an  !i>inr 
anJ  fcity-!ive  minutes  to  be  exa't.  .t 
ceding  to  earthly  computation.  And  to 
have  a  dent  knocked  in  his  beatitude  by 
reff.rcnfe  to  an  unijaid  board  bill  was 
\K\--'.  eiiiiura.nce.  Hence  the  prifedsor 
talked'  loud  and  abused  the  innkeeper  -iiid 
hi-:  wiolf  family  and  the  <log  and  all  with- 
in his  gates  with  great  vehemence.  And 
in.-tfat!  of  going  to  the  altar,  he  was.  in 
consetiuence,  xanked  galley  west  to  the 
fjolice    staiion.    as    described. 

Tie  i»rofessor  wa.s  arraigned  befoif 
.Iud,.:e  iOdh;.;i  thi.-;  morning  on  the  (•Irirg'^ 
of  disordertv  conduct.  He  pleaded  not 
ifuiity  and  his  trial  was  set  for  tomor- 
row moiiiing.  In  default  of  bail  he  went 
up  on  the  hill. 

The  lady  whom  the  professor  was  about 
to  wed  resides  in  AVest  Siij)erior.  it  is 
said. 


He  Must  Cut  Expenses.

I  Postmaster  Helinski   u'ging  him  to  cut 

I  exi>enses  either  by  cutting  off  one  clerk 

i  or   abolishing   the   stamp   agencies.      He 

very    much   disappointed    for   it    will 

imoair  the  efficiency  of   the  ofTice.     He 

will  cut  off  a  clerk  rather  than  do  away 

with    the   stamp   agencies.      Postmaster 

Helinski  i.s,   however,  in  favor  of  doinp 

away    with    independent    postotlices    in 

the  city   limits  and   making  ihe-.n   part 

of   the   city   office.     He   wishes    to   hav<

That  Middle  Canal. 

To  the  Editor  of  The  Herald: 

A   scheme     is     on       foot.       evidently 
hatched  in  som?  lower  lake  cit>   and  no 
doubt    promulgated    by    large    properly 
owners  across  the  bay.   to  cut  a  canal 
I  across  Minnesota  Point  about  opposite 
j  the    entranc-e    to    St.    Ltjuis    river,        or 
about  half  way  fromDuIuth  to  the  Su- 
I  perior       entrance       lighthouse.       Then* 
sfh.-me   is   not    new.   as   the   same    pro- 
i  jert    was   pror'"^Pd    and    denied    by    tlie 
I  .government    about    twelve    years     ago. 
Th      s(  hem    is    impracticable    and    no 
doubt   will    meet    with    the   same   oppo- 
sition from  Duluth  it  did  then,  and  the 
government      which       spent       millions 
ti>  improve  the  harl)or  will  see  to  it  that 
no   scheme  of    Mr.    Rockefeller   or   any 
one    else    is    permitted    to    matur:'    and 
cause  the  necessity  of  large  annual  ex- 
penditures to  keep  the  backings  which 
wruld  naturally  fill  the  Duluth  harbor, 
from  accumulatin.ir.       The  Duluth  peo- 
plf  have  birthrights  which  are  dear  to 
them  and  they  will  see  to  it  that  these 
are    protected.  P.     BEXETEAT'.

CONSENT 

Secretary  of  War  Must  Agree 

Before  Ship  Canal  Can 

Be  Cut. 


MAJ,  SEARS'  OPINION 


With  New   Harbor   Channels 

loll  Canal  Would  Get  No 

Patronage. 


PERSONAL  TAXES. 


Must  Be  l^aid  By  Monday 
Question  For  the  County 
Attorney, 


The  Herald  of  yesterday  announceii 
thai  a  company  is  being  oiganized  fv)i 
the  piupose  of  cutting  a  center  can.il 
through  Minnesota  Point  which  is  to 
be  operated  as  a  private  e  .trance,  vcs 
sels  using  it  to  pay  tolls.  The  project- 
ors tigure  that  the  tug  bills  which  would 
be  clone  away  with  by  using  the  canal 
\\ould  more  than  offset  the  amount  of 
the  toll. 


.A  Herald  man  yesterday  afternoon 
asked  Maj.  .^ears,  government  engineer 
whethei  he  would  take  any  action  t.>- 
ward  stopi'ing  the  dredging  of  a  carnal 
ihiough  the  Point  if  work  should 
acitiaily  be  commenced.  He  saiii  thai 
he  most  certainly  uiuild  unless  the  par- 
ties had  obtained  the  i)ermission  of  the 
secretary  of  war.  No  one.  he  said,  has 
any  right  to  interfere  with  or  in  any 
way  open  (hannels  from  navigable 
waters  without  the  permission  of  the 
war  department. 

'I  do  not  mean  to  say,"  said  Maj. 
Sears,  'thai  the  parties  would  be  i)re- 
vented  from  ever  l)uilding  the  canal: 
that  is  a  matter  which  would  have  to 
l)e  investigated  later.  But  before  any- 
thing is  clone  it  will  be  necessary  to 
apply  to  the  war  cepartnient  for  per- 
mission, rhe  matter  will  then  be  in- 
\estigated  and  a  report  made  and  acted 
iipor.." 

Maj.  Sears  does  not  take  any  stock  in 
the  pioposed  project  and  thinks  it  wll! 
end  in  smoke.  It  v.  ill  take  .several  hun- 
dred thousand  dollars,  he  said,  to  cut 
a  canal  through  there  and  he  cannoi 
.<ee  how  any  vessel  would  use  the  toll 
canal  when  there  are  two  free  en- 
trances. At  present  the  vessels  may 
have  to  pay  tug  bills  for  getting  up  to 
the  bridge,  he  said,  but  when  the  work 
under  the  continuous  i-.Tii)rovement  con- 
tract is  completed  any  competent  navi- 
gator who  has  charts  of  the  harbor  can 
take   his   boat   around   it   day   or   night 

without  the  use  of  a  tug.     It  is  only  a  ; 
.riatter  of  a  couple  of  years  more  when  j 
the   harbor  will   be   in   such   shape   and; 
tugs  will  liot  then  be  necessary  and  how 
the  major  asks,  can  a  toll  canal  expect 
to   do   business? 

In    reference    to    the   appropriati<^!i   of 
$770,000  made  for  Duluth  in   the  sundry 
civil  bill.  Maj.  Sears  says  it  is  about  all  I 
he  expected.     This  amount  is  to  be  ex- 1 
pended  in  the  en'ire  Duluth  district  and  I 
not  merely  in  Duluth  and  Superior  dis  : 
tricts.     Maj.   Sears  put   in   his  estimate' 
at  $1,102,000.  but  later  on  when  asked  b.,  \ 
the  department  said  he  could  get  along  i 
with  less.     Maj.  Sears  says  this  amount  i 
is  about  all   that  can   he  spent  advan-' 
tageously  in  one  season  in  the  district.  | 
The   ainount    expended    at    the   head   of 
the  lakes  will  be  about  $400,000  oi;  pos- 
sibly a  few  thousands  more  than" that 

Maj.  Sears  has  received  a  nu.nber  ol 
photographs  showing  the  appearance 
of  the  concrete  and  Pre.sque  Isle  break- 
waters at  -Marfiueit.'.  Mich.,  after  the 
big  storm  of  Jan.  :;'>.  The  ice  formed 
in  fantastic  shapes  on  the  breakwater 
and  the  views  are  very  interesting.  Th? 
breakwaters  stood  through  as  imn:ov- 
able  as  the  rocky  cliffs  on  the  shore.

GREAT  CRIELTY  CHARGED. 


Mary  Cogin   Sues    John   Co^'n    for 
Divorce. 

Mary  Cogin  this  morning  began  a 
suit  against  John  Cogin  for  divorce  on 
the  grcund  of  cruelty.  The  complaint 
states  that  the  parties  are  '64  and  38 
years  of  age.  respectively,  and  thr.t 
they    were    married    in    West    Superior 

in  1S91.  They  lived  together  in  West 
Duluth  until  their  separation  last  AutT- 
ust.  Mrs.  Cogin  alleges  that  her  hus- 
band beat  her  and  abused  her.  calling 
her  names  and  treating  her  with  gita: 
brutality.  Sometimes  he  would  beat 
and  pinch  her  so  thai  her  person  would 
.'^how  the  marks  for  days.  The  final 
trouble  occurred  Aug.  28,  1897.  when 
her  husband  told  her  U>  find  him  a 
mortgage  he  had  left.  When  she  was 
unable  to  find  it  she  says  he  grew  vciy 
angry  and  driving  her  into  a  rcKim 
stood  over  her  with  a -chair  while  she 
looked  for  the  document,  threatening 
to  kill  her  if  she  did  not  find  it.  After 
that  she  left  him.  and  she  says  that 
she  is  afraid  to  live  with  him.  R.  P. 
P^dson  is  her  attorney.

government  and  after  patents  had  been 
issued  it  was  discovered  that  the  allot- 
ments, amounting  in  all  to  ItM)  acres, 
covered  the  Indian  village  on  the  reser- 
vation. No  action  was  taken  in  the  mat- 
ter until  last  summer,  Capt.  Scott  says, 
although  it  was  self  evident  that  It  was 
never  intended  that  the  Poseys  should 
have  for  their  own  land  that  was 
being  used  as  homes  and  garden  patches 
by  the  members  of  the  tribe.  Last  sum- 
mer the  Poseys  precipitated  the  troublr-  by 
leasing  a  portion  of  their  allo;mcnt  to 
a  baseball  club  and  when  the  club  be- 
gan playing  ball  on  the  garden  spots 
of  the  Indians  the  latter  objected  anci 
Capt.  Scott  went  to  their  rescue  with  tlio 
aid  of  an  injunction. 

Two  weeks  ago  Mrs.  Posey  died  and  in 
a  will  bequeathed  her  allotment  to  a  Du- 
luth attorney  named  Young  and  an  In- 
dian telegraph  operator  named  Jim  CofTcy. 
Capt.  Scott,  on  the  part  of  the  govern- 
ment, offered  the  Poseys  their  choice  of 
any  land  on  the  reservation  in  ex- 
change for  the  allotments  on  the  site  of 
the  village,  but  this  offer  was  declined 
and  now  the  courts  will  b;-  asked  to  in- 
terfere. Capt.  Scott  nald  today  that  the 
government  was  dcHermined  to  protect 
the  settbrs  in  the  village  in  their  rights 
and  If  necessar.v  the  case  would  be  car- 
ried to  the  United  StaleH  supreme  court.

Writes  to   Dr.  Ryan. 

The  mayor  has  written  a  letter  to 
Rtv.  Dr.  Ryan  denying  the  truth  of 
the  statements  in  the  latter's  sermon 
last  Sunday  that  the  aufhorities  have 
protected  gamblers  and  that  Assistant 
City  Attorney  Rustgard  was  handi- 
capped by  the  police  department  in  his 
raid  on  the  gamblers.  The  mayor  re- 
minds Dr.  Ryan  that  when  he  and  the 
other  representatives  of  the  Temper- 
ance co-operation  waited  on  the  mayor 
and  made  charges  that  officials  of  the 
police  department  were  taking  money 
from  gamblers,  he  requested  to  be  fur- 
lushed  the  proof  thereof,  whirh.  the 
mayor  says,  was  not  furnished,  and  his* 
reciuest  for  which  he  repeats.

HE   SAW   BLUE   TOAl>S. 

Xew    York    Sun:     Charley   Makepeace. 

a  well-known  guide  at  Greenwood  Lake. 

was  in  town  the  other  day  calling  upon 

some  summer  patrons,  when  one  ot  them 

"Got  any  blue  toads  up  your  way?  ' 

■'I  guess  they're  all  holed  up  now.  " 
said  Cliarley,  "but  wasn't  that  one  of 
the  funniest  thinss  that  ever  came 
off?" 

"What  was  it?  I  never  heard  of  it," 
said  one  of  the  group. 

"It  was  this  way.  I  v.-as  tending  bar 
for  Tom  Storms  on  the  island  one  morn- 
ing when  a  fellow  named  Harris  or  Har- 
rison— 1  dnn't  just  remember  which — 
came  in,  rushetl  up  to  the  bar.  atid  asked 
for  whisky  quick.  His  eyes  were  blood- 
shot, and  his  hands  shook  as  he  oourel 
cut  the  stuff.  He  had  been  batting 
pretty  heavy  for  several  days,  and  was 
yuite  shaky,  but  that  didn't  account  to 
me  for  the  scared  look  on  his  face.  He 
glanced  aiound  the  room,  and  then  lean- 
in.g  over  the  bar.  he  whispert^l  hoarsely: 

••  'Say,  Charley,  are  there  any  light 
blue  toads  on  this  island?  Did  you  evt  r 
see  any?" 

"I  told  him  that  the  summer  before, 
when  I  was  lushing  it  pretty  heavy,  I 
had  seen  pink  alligators,  green  mk^e  and 
purple  monkeys,  but  I  had  never  seen 
any  blue  toads. 

"  'Come  here.'  he  said,  grabbing  me  as 
Tom  came  in.  'Come  out  here  wiih 
me,"  ar>d  I  followed  him  up  the  shore, 
where  he  pointed  out  to  me  fullv  a 
dozen  little  toads  all  blue  or  splashed 
with  blue.  I  was  puzzled  for  a  moment, 
but  thcr  I  recognized  Hhe  color  and  I 
took  him  further  up  the  shore  to  my  boat, 
which  I  had  just  painted  light  blue.  It 
was  on  the  shore  under  the  bank,  and  I 
reckon  there  were  two  dozen  little  toads 
in  it,  beside  a  lot  more  hopping  aroun^l 
the  sho're.  all  touched  up  with  the  blue 
pairkt.  It  looked  as  if  every  toad  on  the 
isand  had  been  in  or  up  against  that 
boat  while  the  paint  was  wet.  He  looked 
Immensely  relieved  and  said: 

"  'Let's  go  rght  back  and  take  a 
drink  on  it.'  "

It  «. resented  an  imposing  appearan.e. 
It  was  headed  by  Marehal's  l)and  with 
sixty  pieces.  Fully  700  delegates 
marched.  The  Iowa  .lelegation  was 
uwaided  the  tlrst  prize  I.ir  th*-  best  ap-

orab.e  mention  for  tine  appearance. 
Today  is  buttermakers'  day  and  a  pro-

Congressman  Tawney   Offers   Advice 

to  Its   Advocates. 

Washington,  Feb.  23.--(Special  to  Th" 
Herald.)— Representative  Tawney  sai 
trji'ay  that  he  was  confident  the  pendi.ig 
pure  tlour  bill  would  not  be  favorably 
reported  by  the  ways  and  means  com- 
mittee in  its  present  form.  He  says  if 
it  is  established  that  the  ailulterant.- 
u.sed  are  harrrfless  the  provisions  of  the 
bill  are  too  drastic  and  the  tax  pro- 
posed entirely  loo  high.  For  this  re.i- 
son,  he  thinks  the  sub-committee  in 
charge  of  this  legislation  should  pre- 
pare a  substitute  removing  all  the  ob- 
jectionable features,  and  the  full  com- 
mittee may  not  consider  the  matter  fur- 
ther u.itil  some  such  action  is  taken. 
The  necessity  of  legislation  against 
the  adulteration  of  tlour.  he  says.  h.<s 
been  fully  established  and  al.so  the  fa(  t 
that  the  adulterators  are  practicing  a 
fraud  on  consumers.  The  filled  cheese 
and  oleomargarine  bills  were  i)as.sed, be- 
cause it  was  proved  the  adulterants 
were  deleterious  to  health. an  J  Mr.Taw- 
nev  thinks  a  favorable  report  from  tlie 
committee  on  the  pure  Hour  bill  will 
depend  on  this  rjuestion.  He  auvises 
the  millers  to  furnish  all  information 
possible  to  the  com.mittee  showing  the 
adulterants  used  in  the  ilour  an 
oniv  unwh<<lesonie,  but  unhealthy. 


W)  t^ington.  Feb.  2;;.— The  re  was  a

A  reminder  of  the   di.sasliM.    h,)W.  v.  v. 
reached   the   navy   department     in     ib. 
siiape    of    a  water-stained     anil     l)rini.  - 
llavored  package,  enclosing  the  medical 
journal  of    the    Maine.     This    document 
came  through  Consul    Ot  n.     Lc>e"s     mail 
punch  to  the  state  departi.ient.  instead  of 
through    the   mails.    fn»m    which    it    was 
probably   iKirred  by  its  weight.     It     was 
lurnt.l     ner    to    the    chief   i-lerk    of    th^ 
navy   department,   and   by    him   relerretl 
t.)    tht     bureau     if    marine    and    surgery, 
where   it    will    l>e  kept   for   future   r.-fer- 
eiice  in  case  of   necessity.     Th.    olficials 
say  the  package   was  und«r   water   l<>iir 
days    from       its      appearance,    and      it 
still  bears  evidence  of  that    tact,  besilcr 
having  an   unpleasant,     bra.kish     odor. 
The  blue    mark    lines  rubd  on  the  papc  r 
l»y    the    government    printing  ollU-e     are 
neaily  faded  out,  but  th.-  r.ading  in  the 
jcurnal   in    the  metallic  ink  ust  d  by   th  • 
navy  is  clear  and  distinct.      <»f     cDurs^" 
there  is  nothing  in  the  IxMjk  bearing  up.'U 
th.-  di.sasler.   but   it   is  a    tribute     to     th. 
methodi.al    habit    of    Surg.-<»n    Henebor- 
ger,  th''  .Maiu'-'s  medical  otfii-. f,  that  th'-

While  there  remains  an  air  of  expt-c- 
tancy  among  th."  naval  otlir-ors  when- 
everthere  Is  the  least  suggestion  of  news 
from  Havana,  the  department  ap|)ears 
to  have  .s.  ttlcd  pretty  well  down  into  its 
old  routin.-.  There  is  no  longer  much 
dispositien  exhibited  to  theorize  as  to 
the  cause  of  the  disaster.  Pr  bably  this 
is  fiom  lack  of  evidence  to  base  theory

perls  in  <1.  vising  hitc)thr  ses  has  been  ex- 
hausted.

In  regTtrd  to  the  statement  cuminK 
fr.-m  Key  West  that  a  naval  ofhcejr  thin 
had  l)Len  warned  by  A.'miral  Sicard,  ai 
the  instance  of  the  navy  department,  not 
to  discuss  tlie  Maine  disastei  publicly 
and  with  the  newspaper  men,  it  is  saicJ 
by  naval  ofTlf  ers  that  this  is  only  the 
usual  cdurs-'.  for  the  legulations  espe- 
cially prchibit  such  discussions  as  cal- 
(culate?  to  alTeci  imiirojierly  I'.ie  conclu- 
sion of  the  court  c»f  inquirv.  and,  also, 
perhaps,  to  cause  int'r(«)siti)n  cjf  ob- 
staclr's  to  the  investigation.  It  is  prob- 
ablt  that  like  instructi  )ns  have  been 
uiven  to  the  few  naval  odicers  whc»  re- 
main with  Capt.  Sigsbee  at  Havana,  en- 
gaged in  iiaying  the  last  sac!  lites  to  tht

Consul    (Jen.    Lee.    in    the   coursJe   of  a 
Jrriendly  talk  with  Ameri -ans.  may  hav. 
cxpiessed    the    view    that    there    are    a!

thoii/.es  the  announcem.  nt  that  he  has 
nuthtr  oflicially  or  semi-oflicially  deliv- 
ered  himself  *if  any  .xpression  on     the 
subject.     The  Spanish  legation  also  dis- 
credits njiorts  that  C  n.  Lee  has  given 
any  such  warning  as   Mr.    Dubosc.     the 
charg.    d'affaires,    said    today    that    su'^'h 
complet-  ciuiet  and  harmony  existed  to- 
day at   Havana   that   it  was  manifeslly 
out  of  the  c|uestion  that  any  such  warn- 
ing had  been  giveii.     It   is  also  said   at 
the  department    that   no     message-     has 
been  conveyed  to  the  owners  of  Ameri- 
can vessels  at  New  Orleans  or  elsewhere 
that   it   would   not   be  safe   for  them     to 
visit  Cuban  ports  at  this  time.

sota •dames  have  as  much  dillle  ulty  in 
agreeing  on  any  matter  affe-cting  their 
state  as  the  members  of  the  congres- 
sional delegation.  .Mrs.  Newport,  of  St. 
Paul,  was  i.  candid  ite  for  vice  president 
general  of  the  order,  but  owing  t  >  opp.)- 
sition  to  lier  nam"  Mrs.  I'age  Morris 
was  proposed  as  a  substitute.  This,  il

OF  MISERY 

Plight  of  Infortunates  Who 

Lie  Dying  of  Starvation 

In  Cuba. 


SYSTEM    OF   RELIEF 


Always  Inadequate,  Now  Be- 
coming   More    Glaringly 
So  Day  By  Day. 


antiaso  D?  Cu»>a.  Feb.  IS.— (Corre- 
spoiilence  of  the  Assot-latetl  Press.)— 
\Vhilt>  the  I'nited  States  cruiser  Mont- 
gomerj-  was  at  Matanzas  recently  a 
board  of  officers  wa.-<  appointed  to  in- 
quire into  the  condition  of  the  people  of 
That  province.  Although  the  exact  terms 
.if  the  report  are  not  known,  it  may  b- 
said  that  in  substance  it  sets  forth  tVvut 
there  are  14.00i>  people  absolutely  without 
food  and  clothing  within  the  city  limits. 
About  3iXH»  of  these  live  in  small  huts 
i>f  palm  branches.  These  huts  form 
thrt  t'  .separate  villages  Ivyond  the  built- 
up  porti  ms  of  the  city.  The  other  l.'i.OOO 
unfortunates  live  in  the  streets  of  the 
city,  and  are  abi»olu:ely  without  hom.>s 
or  shelter.  These  U.OOO  people  are  of  the 
laboring  class,  who  have  been  driven 
iiKo  the  city  from  their  ivmntry  homes, 
which  have  ben  destroyed  in  the  war 
operations.  Most  of  them  are  \vi>men 
and  children,  and  they  are  all  emaciated, 
sicli  and  almost  beyond  relief,  unless 
they  can  have  the  benefit  of  the  regular 
treatment  in  the  hospitals.  As  it  is  they 
are  lying  in  the  streets  for  want  of  fo  id. 
According  to  statistics  gatherer!  from 
the  best  official  sources,  the  number  of 
deaths  in  the  province  of  Matanzas  from 
starvation  is  i.9.0(H).  and  the  number  of 
starving  people  at  present  in  the  prov- 
ince is  estimated  at  98.00<\  out  of  a 
total  population  of  2.'i3.616  in  December. 
1897.  and  ihe  number  of  starving  people 
is  rapidly  increasing. 

In  the  city  of  Matanzas  alone  there 
have  been  about  11.000  deaths  during  th^ 
past  year.  The  death  rate  at  present 
avf rages  forty-six  per  day,  as  shown  by 
the  reports  from  the  cemeter>'.  The  in- 
crease in  the  death  rate  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  the  distress  is  no  longer  con- 
fined to  the  laboring  class,  most  of  whom 
have  already  perished.  Those  who  are 
row  begging  in  the  streets  were  in  a 
large  part  well-to-do  people,  or  the  chil- 
dren of  the  well-to-do.  In  addition,  the 
citizens  of  the  city  of  Matanzas  them- 
selves are  beginning  to  suffer  for  the 
actual  necessities  of  life,  having  de- 
pleted their  resources  in  order  to  supply 
the  needs  of  the  laboring  class,  who  havf 
been  quartered  upon  them.  The  citizens 
of  Matanzas  have  an  organized  system 
of  relief  for  the  starving  peopl*.  but  it  is 
entirely  Inadequate,  and  is  dally  ttecom- 
ing  more  glaringly  sx  for  the  resources  of 
Ihjse  who  were  well-to-do  are  rapidly 
diminishing,  while  the  demand  for  food 
is  constantly  increasing. 

At  one  of  the  relief  stations  the  board 
of  officers  found  100  starving  people,  this 
being  the  actual  number  of  persons  for 
whom  the  citizens  had  been  able  to  pro- 
vide rations  there.  In  a  room  across  the 
court  yard  of  the  building  were  100  tin 
pans  and  as  many  tin  spoons.  These 
pans  were  filled  with  a  cooked  mess  of 
rice  and  fish,  and  were  arranged  in  rows 
readv  for  distribution  among  the 
famished  people  who  were  in  waiting  in 
another  part  of  the  house,  but  as  al- 
ready said,  the  three  relief  places  in  the 
citv  of  Matanzas  do  not  begin  to  ade- 
quatelv  supply  food  to  the  14.000  people 
who  are  there  starving  in  the  streets,  for 
the  citizens  are  only  able  to  issue  food 
three  times  a  day  at  each  place,  and 
then  to  only  about  100  at  a  time.  Con- 
sequently, only  about  900  of  the  destitute 
people  receive  food  in  a  day. 

It  should  be  added  that  a  large  num- 
ber of  the  citizens  of  Matanzas  have  fed 
the  starving  in  the  streets  in  front  of 
their  own  houses,  hut  the  citizens  them- 
selves are  feeling  the  pinch  of  privation. 
and  unless  assistance  soon  comes  to 
them,  they  will  be  compelled  in  self-pro- 
t*>ction  to  cease  the  work  of  charity  in 
which  they  are  now  engaged,  and  which 
is  seemingly  the  only  salvation  for  the 
starving  thousands. 

The  only  other  public  relief  at  Ma- 
tanzas is  that  given  to  the  poor  sick 
children  by  the  management  of  the 
emergency  hospital,  which  is  under  the 
direoiion  of  the  volunteer  fire  depart- 
ment These  statements  are  the  conclu- 
sions facts  and  figures  arrived  at  by  a 
bf)ard  of  I'nited  States  naval  officers. 
When  the  officers  landed  they  were  con- 
stantly followed  by  clamoring  crowds  of 
starving  men.  women  and  children,  who 
importuned  them  in  the  most  heart- 
rending manner  for  a  little  food  for  the 
want  of  which  they  were  slowly  dying. 

The  United  States  consul  at  Matanzas 
has  done  everything  possible  under  the 
circumstances,    but    when 
gomery   left    there,    in   the 
February,    the  consul

In  J.  Penimore 
Cooper's  Ueather 
Stocking  Tales,  we 
read  stories  of  the 
wonderful  agility, 
physical  endurance 
and  the  unerring:  ac- 
curacy of  the  eye  of 
the  American  Indian 
when  he  reigned  su- 
preme over  this  conti- 
nent. Before  he  was 
debauched  by  modem 
civilization,  he  was  a 
magnificent  specimen 
of  physical  manhood. 
He   lived  entirely   in 

the     open      air,     and 

knew  no  medicine,  save  the  simple  herbs 
gathered  bv  his  squaws. 

Civilized  uiau  leads  an  unnatural  and  an 
unbcalthv  life.  Tnlike  the  Indian  if  he 
would  maintain  his  physical  and  mental 
health,  he  must  take  reasonable  precau- 
tions to  combat  disease.  Nearly  all  dis- 
eases have  their  inception  in  disorders  of 
the  digestion,  torpidity  of  the  liver  and 
•Impurity  of  the  blood.  Dr.  Pierce's  Golden 
Medical  Discovery  is  made  of  simple  herbs. 
It  restores  the  lost  appetite,  makes  diges- 
tion and  assimilation  perfect,  invigorates 
the  liver,  purifies  the  blood  and  promotes 
the  natural  processes  of  excretion  and  se- 
cretion. It  sends  the  rich,  red,  life-giving 
blood  bounding  through  the  arteries  and 
corrects  all  circulatory  disturbances.  It 
dispels  headaches,  nervousness,  drowsi- 
ness, lassitude,  and  drives  out  all  impuri- 
ties and  disease  germs.  It  cures  98  per 
cent,  of  all  cases  of  consumption,  bron- 
chitis, asthma  and  diseases  of  the  air-pas- 
sages. It  gives  sound  and  refreshing  sleep, 
drives  awav  all  bodily  and  mental  fatigue 
and  imparls  vigor  and  health  to  every  or- 
gan of  the  body.  Medicine  dealers  sell  it, 
and  have  nothing  else,  "just  as  good." 

•■  \  few  of  my  symptoms,"  writes  Charles 
Book,  of  Climax,  Kalamazoo  Co..  Mich,,  "were

Detroit.  Feb.  23.— Five  hundred  guests 
attended  the  Michigan  club's  thirteenth 
annual  banquet  last  night.  Senator 
Burrows  was  totastmaster.  Great  inter- 
est centered  in  the  utterances  of  Senator 
Cushman  K.  Davis  of  Minnesota,  whose 
topic  was    "Our  Foreign  Relations.'* 

Concerning  our  Spanish  relations.  Sen- 
ator Davis  said:  "We  have  suffered 
ifrom  Spain's  procrastinating  policy  al- 
way.'i.  While  no  overt  act  of  war  has 
transpired  there  have  been  several  oc- 
casions when  we  have  been  perilously 
near  it.  There  has  been  reigning  in 
Cuba  an  insurrection,  a  terrible  strife  fo." 
liberty,  which  has  been  met  by  Spain 
with  examples  of  horrors  that  have 
deeply  shocked  the  civilized  world,  and 
more  especially  the  people  of  the  United 
States.  Such  things  have  transpired  in 
Poland,  Hungary  and  Armenia,  and  the 
procrastinating  of  the  nations  in  dealing 
with  these  horrors  has  pressed  heavily  on 
the  hearts  of  the  people. 

"I  speak,  however,  from  the  head,  not 
from  the  heart.  1  do  not  wish  to  fire 
your  enthusiasm  to  any  unwarranted 
conclusions.  The  duty  of  congress  and  of 
the  president  is  confined  solely  to  the 
interests  and  advantages  of  the  people 
of  the  United  States.  However  profound- 
ly our  sympathies  may  be  stirred— and 
God  knows  my  heart  sympathizes  with 
these  struggling  patriots  as  much  as  any 
man's— we  are  still  brought  back  to  the 
question  of  what  in  connection  with  our 
foreign  relations  is  for  the  interest,  hon- 
or and  dignity  of  the  people  of  the 
Unittd  States? 

"What  would  Washington  say  were  hi 
here  today?  'No  entangling  alliances: 
no  f-ntanglements  with  foreign  power;;.' 
When  the  South  American  states  revolt- 
ed in  1810  many  of  our  people  clamored 
for  belligerent  measures:  the  history  of 
the  time  of  Monroe  and  Adams  reads 
much  like  that  of  the  present,  but  it  was 
not  until  1S25  that  the  United  States  rec- 
ognized the  belligerency  of  those  strug- 
gling nations. 

"Where  the  hand  of  cruelty  or  indig- 
nity is  laid  on  our  people  better  war  by 
land  or  sea  than  peace  under  such  cir- 
cumstances, but  as  long  as  no  American 
is  deprived  of  his  rights  and  liberties, 
speaking  from  the  head,  not  the  heart- 
in  the  interests  of  my  own  country  only, 
I  implore  you — and  I  would  that  my 
voice  could  reach  all  our  people— I  im- 
plore you,  let  us  be  moderate  in  act  and 
in  word. 

"I  am  commissioned  to  bring  you  no 
word  from  the  government,  but  I  have 
seen  our  president  weighing  these  ques- 
tions of  the  hour.  A  large  part  of  our 
people  wish  to  drive  him  forward  to  war. 
Let  us  take  the  advice  of  Capt.  Sigsbee 
and  suspend  judgment  on  the  Maine  dis- 
aster. If  then  our  dark  forebodings  ara 
Justified  by  the  investigation,  be  assured 
President  McKinley  and  the  United 
States  government  will  not  be  found 
wanting  in  any  act  that  that  dreadful 
circumstances  shall  render  necessary. 

"Does  anybody  suppose  that  McKin- 
ley, the  ex-soldier,  that  our  John  Sher- 
man, your  own  Gen.  Alger,  John  D. 
Long  and  the  United  States  senate  and 
house  lightly  feel  or  slightingly  put  aside 
these  great  questions?  It  is  mighty 
easy  for  one  not  having  these  responsi- 
bilities 'doing  something  right  away,'  but 
impose  these  responsibilities  upon  those 
who  thus  complain,  and  they  would  ap- 
prove thf*  present  course  of  the  president 
of  the   United   States." 

In  concluding.  Senator  Davis  said  he 
favored  building  so  many  modern  war- 
ships that  foreign  governments  would 
de^m  it  useless  to  fver  cease  watching 
either  and  attack  our  shores.  He  point- 
ed to  the  record  of  the  Republican 
diplomacy  as  sufficient  guaranty  of  wis- 
dom in  future  conduct  of  our  foreign  re- 
lations. 

The  other  principal  speakers  were 
Senator  C.  W.  Fairbanks  of  Indiana, 
who  responded  to  the  "Republican 
Party,"  and  William  F.  Gurley,  of 
Omaha,  who  spoke  upon  "The  Campaign 
of  1900." 


New  York,  Fob.  2:!.— A  dispatch  to  the 
Herald  from  Haviana.  says:  The  further 
the  inquiry  into  the  c-auses  th«.t  led  to 
the  Maine  disaster  pi-oceeds  the  more 
i-eniote  apiH»ar  the  chances  that  any 
evidence  will  be  discovered  to  show 
that  the  disaster  was  due  to  an  acci- 
dent. 

Those  divers  who  penetrate*!  into  the 
forwaixi  part  of  the  wreck  found  that 
the  whole  forward  end  of  the  ship  from 
a  point  Just  abaft  the  forwaixi  turret 
had  been  twisted  !.'»  or  20  degrees  to 
starljoard.  That  part  of  the  vessel  was 
a  wilderness  of  debris  and  curled  and 
twisted  plates.  The  sharp.  Jagged  edges 
ot  some  i)f  the  plates  addetl  danger  t<» 
the  difliculties  of  the  divers,  getting  life 
lines  into  a  tangle  and  fraying  the  cords. 
In  (me  instance  they  almost  cut  through 
a  rubber  tube  which  supplied  a  diver 
v.ith  lair. 

one  important  discovery  made  was 
the  position  i»f  the  boilies  found  in  the 
wreck.  100  of  which  were  fioating  about 
the  torn  compartment.s.  A  full  score  of 
these  were  examined  by  my  informant. 
All  of  these  bodies  were  in  hammocks 
and  all  had  the  arms  curved  upward. 
They  looked  as  if  the  men  had  been 
startled  by  some  sudden  shock  of  danger 
and  were  in  the  act  of  reaching  up  for 
their  hammock  hooks  to  swing  them- 
selves on  deck  when  death  came.  This 
seems  to  continn  what  has  already  been 
said  about  there  having  been  two  ex- 
plosions, the  first  startling  the  men  into 
the  act  of  rising  from  their  hammocks, 
the  other  dashing  the  life  out  of  them 
while  they  were  in  that  position. 

liefore  the  explosion  the  10-inch  mag- 
azine was  located  on  the  starboard  side 
forw"ai-d  and  beneath  the  forward  tur- 
ret. What  is  left  of  the  magazine  seems 
to  have  been  driven  toward  the  port 
bow  in  a  diagonal  and  upward  direction. 
The  6-inch  magazine,  which  had  ita 
location  in  the  port  side  of  the  ship  for- 
ward, was  hurled  in  a  direction  directly 
opposite  that  of  the  10-inch  maga- 
zine. One  of  the  copper  cylindrical 
tanks  for  the  6-inch  magazine  was  found 
in  the  wreck  of  that  structure.  It  con- 
tained no  powder  charge.  The  10-inch 
magazine  has  not  been  closely  examintMl 
at  this  writing,  but  such  inspection  of  It 
as  was  made  leads  to  the  belief  that  a 
pile  of  wreckage  that  lies  about  it  is 
supposed  to  contain  10-inch  charges. 

The  theory  of  the  two  explosions  is 
borne  out  by  the  testimony  of  Senor 
Antonio  Caljalero,  a  tobacco  dealer  of 
Havana.  Senor  Cabalero  was  crossing 
the  bay  in  a  ferry  boat  at  the  time  of 
the  disast'-r.  He  was  familiar  with  the 
Maine,  having  paid  several  visits  to  that 
craft,  and  was  pointing  out  to  a  group 
of  friends  on  the  ferry  boat  her  pecull- 
arlties.  There  came.  Just  at  that  in- 
stant, he  says,  a  dull  report  from  the 
forward  i>art  of  the  ship,  the  upheaval 
ol  a  geyser  of  water  about  the  boat, 
followed  almost  instantly  by  a  terrific 
roar  and  a  blinding  flash  of  light. 

He  is  positive  about  the  first  explosion 
and  says  that  it  was  noticed  by  his 
companions.  This  statement  of  his  came 
to  the  ears  of  one  of  the  court  of  in- 
quiry, and  last  night  an  officer  was 
sent  to  Senor  Cabalero  to  ask  him  if  he 
would  appear  as  a  witness  before  the 
court.  He  announced  his  willingness 
to  do  so. 

Many  strange  tales  of  the  disaster 
are  brought  out  as  the  days  wear  on. 
One  of  these  was  made  known  yester- 
day, when  the  captain  of  an  English 
bark,  anchored  in  the  harbor  nearly  a 
mile  distant  from  the  Maine,  told  how  a 
bewhiskered  jaw^  had  fallen  on  the  deck 
of  his  vessel.  The  c-aiptain  has  been 
asked  to  appear  as  a  witness  before  the 
court  of  inquiry.

"KxclaiminKi  Ah.  Americanos.  Am<eri-

up  the  Spaniards,  and  they  get  it  them-

then  and.  sus:)ectlng  that  the  engineers 
of  the  Oliveden  were  Americans,  began 
to  menace  th*m,  but  Holdaworth  and

When  the  ferryboat  came  It  was  found 
that  she  had  passed  the  Maine  Just 
l)efore  the  explosion,  and  a  Spanish  offi- 
cer on  board  demanded  that  the  captain 
of  the  ferryboit  should  head  about  and 
go  to  the  rescue.  The  ferry  captain'.-^ 
hatred  i>r  Am-ricans  was  so  great  that

ARE  HAVING  HAVANA. 

Lee    Inofficially   Advises   Americans 
to  Go   Home. 

New  York,  Feb.  23.— A  dispatch  to  the 
World  from  Havana  says:  "The  situ- 
ation in  Havana  is  more  grave  than  it 
was  a  week  ago.  Although  the  officers 
of  the  naval  biard  of  inquiry  preserve  an 
impenetrable  reserve,  it  is  learned  that 
some  of  the  best  naval  experts  now  be- 
lieve that  the  explosion  was  the  result  of 
treachery. 

They  do  not  believe  that  Spanish  offi- 
cials took  jiart  in  the  conspiracy.  From 
evidence  now  in  their  possession,  they 
believe  the  Spanish  government.  Gen. 
Blanco  and  all  his  military  subordi- 
nates were  guiltless  alike  of  knowledge 
of  or  particiration  in  the  crime.  It  is 
believed  to  have  been  set  off  by  a  fan- 
atic.

vised Americ.ins  not  necessarily  de- 
tained here  t  >  leave  for  home  at  once. 
Many  familie?  will  sail  by  the  Olivette

Spanish  People  Will  Never  Part  With 
Cuba. 

New  York.  Feb.  23.— A  dispatch  to  the 
Herald  from  Madrid  says:  "As  the 
question  of  the  purchase  of  Cuba  is 
again  being  jmshed  in  Washington,  it 
may  be  of  use  to  state,  on  the  highest 
authority  that  Spain  will  never,  no  mat- 
ter what  government  is  in  power,  con- 
sider any  such  suggestion  or  any  com- 
promise on  Cuba  beyond  broad  measures 
of  autonomy  drafted  by  the  liberal  gov- 
ernment. This  is  an  irrevocable  resolu- 
tion. People  who  suggest  anything  else 
are  only  wasting  time  and  arousing  un- 
founded hopes. 


DEED  or  A  DASTARD. 


Spanish    Ferryman    Refused    Aid    to 
Victims  of  Disaster. 

New  York,  Feb.  23.— Engineer 
Albert  Holdsworth  and  Assistant 
Engineer  Laidlaw  of  the  British 
steamer  Oliveden,  which  has  Just  arrived 
from  Havana,  say  that  on  the  night  of 
the  explosion  they,  with  some  others, 
were  ashore.  They  were  sitting  at  th-; 
end  of  a  pier  at  the  south  end  of  the 
harbor,  and  about  half  a  mile  from  the 
American  warship.  Next  the  pier  was  a 
ferry  slip,  and  the  course  of  the  ferry- 
boat from  the  city  lay  past  the  Maine. 

When  the  explosion  occurred  a  lot  of 
.Spanish  soldiers  and  sailors  in  a  res- 
taurant cleared  out  and  ran  as  if  for 
their  lives.  There  was  no  immediate 
blaze  from  the  explosion,  but  there  was 
smoke  and  sparks.  Two  or  three  minutes 
passed  before  the  flame  could  be  seen. 

While  they  stood  watching,  some 
breathless  Spaniards  hurried  down  the 
pier  bearing  fragments  of  the  Maine's 
pay  rolls.  They  said  they  had  picked 
them  up  on  a  hill  back  in  the  country 
from  where  the  Maine  lay.  The 
Spaniards  wanted  to  know  what  the 
writing  in  English  meant,  and  the  engi- 
neers, after  l.'oking  at  the  papers,  told 
them,'  through  one  of  their  party  who 
spoke  Spanish. 

The  Spaniards  fairly  danced  In  ele^.at 
the  fate  of  the  Maine 


the  engineer  said:

OUTLOOK  NOT  PROMISING. 

Government     Officials     at     Havana 
Appear  Somewhat  Perturbed. 

New  York.  Feb.  23.— A  dispatch  to  th-^ 
Tribune  from  Havana  says:  The  out- 
look in  Cuba  does  not  grow  more  prom- 
ising. The  exact  statement  is  that  the 
government  otlicials  were  never  so 
much  disturbed  as  today.  This  is  part- 
ly due  to  information  from  Washington 
and  Madrid.  News  from  those  places 
which  is  permitted  to  reach  the  public 
is  so  meager  that  better  Judgments  can 
be  formed  in  the  United  States  than  here 
as  to  whether  their  fears  are  exagger- 
ated. Local  developments  Justify  the 
serious  view  Gen.  Blanco  and  his  asso- 
ciates are  said  to  take  of  the  probability 
of  fresh  complications. 

The  statement  that  divers  have  pene- 
trated the  forward  part  of  the  Maine 
and  found  nothing  in  the  magazines 
there  to  indicate  an  explosion  seems  to 
be  verified.  Attention  is  also  given  to 
testimony  regarding  vibration  in  the 
water  before  the  Maine  went  to  pieces. 
Evidence  as  to  this  fact  is  emphatic. 
How  far  it  justilied  the  belief  that  the 
explosion  came  from  underneath  the 
ship,  experts  may  be  left  to  determine. 
The  point  has  not  yet  been  reached 
where  a  definite  opinion  can  be  reached. 
It  is  reported  that  the  representa- 
tives of  the  foreign  nations  are  fol- 
lowing the  laval  investigation  as  well 
as  other  phases  of  the  situation  close- 
ly and  are  understood  to  be  making 
dailv  reports  to  their  governments. 
Spanish  offl.ial.s  were  surprised  at  the 
firmness  with  which  the  Washington 
administration  declined  to  admit  them 
to     shar'»  in  the  investigation. 

HANMA  DENIES  RIJMOR. 

Senator      Honestly      and      Frankly 
Believes  In  Peace. 

Wa-shingtcn.  Feb.  23.— Sensational  re- 
ports have  been  circulated  that  Sena- 
tor Hanna  had  expressed  the  belief  that 
a  conflict  between  the  Ignited  States 
and  Spain  \*as  imminent,  the  attention 
of  the  senaior  was  called  to  them. 

He  emphatically  denied  them,  say- 
ing- "I  do  not  iH'lieve  there  is  anything 
in  the  Maine  incident  or  our  relations 
with  Spain  regarding  Cuba  will  lead  to 
a  war  I  am  firmly  of  the  opinion  the 
explosion  was  due  to  an  accident  and  I 
think  the  naval  court  of  inquiry  will 
reach  the  same  conclusion." 

"No  "  said  Senator  Hanna.  in  conclu- 
sion. "I  honestly  and  frankly  do  not  see 
anv  reason  for  the  excitement  that  is 
being  created.     There  will   be  no  war.

about  the  heart,  smothering  spells  and 
shortness  of  breath.  Tor  three  months  I

World's    Visible    Statement 

Was  Bullish  But  It  Had 

Little  Effect. 


Wheat  was  t-asior  ami  low.T  today.  Th»> 
main  t-ause  of  the  weakness  was  a  docllne 
ill  the  foreign  markets  and  a  report  from 
I.omloa  that  the  consumptive  ilemaml 
thcrf  was  jumr.  The  Northwest  receipts 
were  liKht.  and  the  worlds  visible  state- 
ment by  Bradstreefs  was  bullish.  It 
showed  a  decrease  of  365.000  bus,  but  this 
had  Ii:t!e  effect,  although  an  increase  of 
i.i«Ki.<XW  bus  had  bet-n  estimated  by  the 
trade.  Trading  was  dull  on  the  Duiuth 
lx>ard.  May  wheat  opened  here  s^c  lower 
at  $1.01V.-  and  soon  declined  to  $1.  Later  it 
reacted  "to  $l.i>OTs  but  sold  down  aRain  to 
$l.t*^  and  closed  at  tl.OOVi,  a  net  decline 
of  "sc  for  th  day.  The  elevators  bought

ON  THE  CHICAGO  BOARD. 


Weaker    Cables    the     Cause    of    a 
Decline  In  Wheat. 

Chicago,  Feb.  23.— Wheat  today ^ was 
easier  all  around  at  the  opening.  May 
starting  at  from  Sl.U'.a^  to  $1.06^4  as  com- 
pared with  Monday's  closing  price  of 
$l.o«*4.  and  July  at  from  ftl%(fii»l"^c.  Mon- 
dayls  closing  being  ;»2%c.  Weakness  in  the 
Knglish  markets  was  apparently  the  nrin- 
cipal  influence.  Liverpool  showetl  declines 
ranging  from  3'4'ftlVsd.  and  London  re- 
ported weaku:  ss  in  the  comparative  de- 
mand. Commission  houses  were  larg?  sell- 
ers and  the  market  for  a  few  minutis 
following  the  opening  was  very  weak. 
May  declining  to  ll.OJV*  and  July  to  Sl'^c. 
Then  the  market  graduall>-  took  on  an 
appearance  of  strength.  Shoris  bought 
t  onsiderabl^  on  the  decline.  Allen  & 
Grier  bought  July,  and  that  option  began 
to  reoovi^r  befoire  May  did.  as  other 
brokers,  acting  presumably  for  Leiter, 
were  sellers  of  May.  Receipts  at  Liver- 
pool for  the  pas;  six  days  were  only  a8»;,- 
W)i)  buF.  Northwest  receipts  were  light.

of  which  37  were  contract  grade.  Private 
Argentine  cables  red'uced  the  Argentine 
exportable  surplus  to  24.000,000  bus.  May 
advanced  slowly  to  $1.05%  and  July  to 
^'i^fi'ii^ic  with  the  market  quiet  at  those 
figures. 

There  was  a  slow  demand  for  corn  with 
good  scattered  selling.  Cables  were  lo^.vr. 
Receipts  were  418  cars.  The  market  was 
weak  at  first  with  wheat,  but  became 
firmer  when  that  market  reacted.  May 
opened  h^^y^c  lower  at  :5i5V2*t%c  and  ad- 
vanced to  SO^jC. 

Oats  were  in  slow  demand.  The  open- 
ing was  weak,  but  covering  by  shorts 
started  when  wheat  and  com  rallied, 
and  prices  for  oats  advanced.  RecPipts 
were  2W  cars.  May  opened  Vic  lower  at 
2r.iic  and  advanced   to  26v8C. 

Pr'n-islons  were  weak  at  th»  opening, 
with  plenty  of  stop  loss  order  selling. 
The  hog  market  was  weak  and  lower. 
Pork  was  especially  weak  at  first.  On 
the  decline  there  was  good  buying  by 
packers  and  brokers  who  were  sellers 
las:  week,  and  the  market  became  stead- 
ier. May  pork  opened  l-j'&25c  lowf-r  at 
$liJ.75'<jM.s5,  with  trading  mostly  at  the 
lower  figure.  It  advanced  to  JIO.S"','^  and  re- 
acte<l  to  $10.S5.  May  lard  opened  5c  lower 
at  $.5.2iJ  and  advanced  to  $5.27>^.  May  ribs

Chieago,  Feb.  2:5.— Wheat  oj>ene<l  lower 
due  to  weak  cables  in  the  face  of  our 
strong  market  here.  This  leads  us  to  be- 
lieve that  foreigners  have  about  all  the 
wheat  they  yant  for  the  present  and  \vc 
are  iiiilinetl  to  look  for  a  lower  range 
of  prices  for  the  deferred  futures.  The 
cliiiue  did  very  little  in  wheat  today. 
All  our  best  traders  here  on  the  floor 
are  now  arrayed  against  the  cUqu:^  and 
are  celling  deferred  futures  on  all  bulges. 
Corn  closes  only  '4>'  lower  than  It  did 
Monday  showing  a  wonderfully  strong 
market,  as  a  got-nl  many  operators  who 
have  been  carrying  corn  up  to  a  week 
ago  sold  out  when  May  corn  got  above 
3lo.  Some  kept  up  their  selling  until 
they  were  short,  and  there  has  been 
<iulte  a  gowl  deal  of  this  kind  of  corn 
for  sale  here  totlay.  Cables  were  lower, 
export  demand  not  urgent.  Oats  have 
bern  firm:  pretty  good  export  demand  and 
fair    sales. 

Provisions,    considering    the    decline    in 
hogs    since     Monday,     show     considerable 
strength,   especially  lard,   for  which  there 
has  been  active  demand.   We  believe  pro- 
vision.<»  nexi  summer  will   be  a  good  deal 
higher    than    they    are     now.     We    have 
looked   for   two  »)r  three   days    for  a    de- 
cline in  prices.

Object  of  John  W.  Ihickens'   Trip  to 
England. 

John  W.  Thickens,  of  Mine  Center,  ar- 
rived In  the  city  this  morning  from  Ap- 
pleton.  Wis.,  and  left  this  afternoon  for 
Toronto.  Hf>  will  leavp  there  in  company 
with  D.  M.  Blackwowl.  also  of  Mine 
%-.Cent;^r.  in  time  to  s.iil  from  Isew  York 
next    Wednesday   for   England. 

Messrs.  Thickens  and  Blackwoo<l  re- 
cently bought  a  4months  opeion  on  the 
AD2  mine,  in  the  Seine  River  district,  and 
exi>»ct  to  sell  it  to  an  English  syndicate 
befrre     their    return.     The     price     agreed 

iituin  for  rha  T>iT»iit3'->y  Is  Jji  {he  neichbor. 
hood  of  $1(X),000.  Tn"  AD2  Gold  Mining 
company,  of  which  W.  W.  Butchart.  of 
this  city,  is  one  of  the  principal  stock- 
holders, has  done  a  great  deal  of  work 
on  its  property  since  li^  t  fi^'X  ig.  Two 
shafts  have  been  sunk  to  a  depth  of  about 
li)0  feet  each  on  the  veins  and  two  drifts, 
one  160  feet  in  length  and  the  other  200 
feet,  have  been  run  into  the  ore  body. 
Over  $12,000  has  been  expended  on  the  work 
and  the  showing  made  demonstrates  that 
the  mine  is  among  the  best  properties 
in  the  district.  Mr.  Butchart  said  today 
that  the  company  was  offered  $40,000  for 
the  property  l?st  spring  before  .very 
much"  development  worjf  had  been  done 
but  it  was  believed  that  if  the  mine 
proved  to  be  as  good  on  being  opened  uo 
as  it  appeared  to  Oe  that  It  should  sell 
for  at  least  twice  that  sum.  So  it  was 
decided  to  proceed  with  the  work  of 
development. 

Considerable  ore  has  been  taken  out 
in  sinking  .shafts  and  running  the  drifts, 
and  some  of  it  has  been  milled,  about  $1500 
worth  of  gold  being  realized.  The  stamp 
mill  which  was  set  up  at  the  property, 
however,  did  not  prove  successful  and  it 
was  taken  away  several  months  ago  by 
the  man  who  invented  and  built   it. 

Work  is  still  going  forward  on  the 
mine  but  It  will  be  stopped  in  a  short  time 
until  the  option  expires  or  the  property  is 
finally  disposed  of. 


IT  WILL  SOON  BEGIN. 


Campaign  of  Ticket   Men   to  Catch 
the  Woodsmen. 

C.  D.  Harper  said  today  that  th? 
campaign  for  the  passenger  business 
out  of  the  lumber  camps  in  Northern 
Minnesota  would  begin  about  March 
1.  The  St.  Paul  &  Duiuth  and  the 
P'astern  Minnesota  railroads,  are  the 
principal  competitors  for  this  business- 
and  they  will  have  tickets  on  sale  at 
all  stations  on  roads  penetrating  :he 
pine  ff»rests.  for  St.  Paul  and  Minne- 
apolis. Two  years  ago  the  railroads 
placed  their  tickets  in  the  camps  and 
when  the  men  were  paid  off  they  were 
given  a  ticket  to  their  destination  and 
the  price  of  it  was  deducted  from 
their  wages.  The  business  men  in 
towns  on  the  roads  objected  to  ihis 
procedui^,  claiming  that  special  in- 
ducements were  being  offered  the  men 
to  go  to  the  Twin  Cities  to  trade  and 
since  then  the  tickets  have  been  sold 
by  regular  ticket  agents  only. 

Lumbermen  whose  final  destination 
is  to  points  beyond  Duiuth  save  money 
by  buying  through  tickets.  For  in- 
stance the  rate  from  Grand  Rapids  to 
St.  Paul  or  Minneapolis  is  $6.30.  From 
Grand  Rapids  to  Duiuth  it  is  $2.95,  and 
from  Duiuth  to  Minneapolis  $4.30,  or  a 
total  of  $7.25,  a  saving  of  95  cents  being 
made  by  purchasing  a  through  ticket 
The  tickets  are  limited  to  the  day  of 
purchase.  Those  who  buy  tickets  over 
the  St.  Paul  &  Duiuth  do  not  come  to 
Duiuth.  but  change  cars  at  Carlton, 
while  Eastern  Minnesota  passengers 
reach  Duiuth  at  11:30  a.  m.  and  leave 
at  1:10  p.  m.  or  wait  over  until  night.

father's  hea<l  off  with  a  shotgun  at  an 
early  hour  this  morning,  while  the  latter

drunk  the  ni^ht  before  and  chased  the 
family  out  of  the  house  with  a  butcher 
knife  and  threatened  to  kill  them.  He 
was  finally  pacified  and  induced  to  go 
to    bed.      It    is   supposed    that    the    girl

GROCERS

(Continued  from  Page  1.) 

are  sent  to  the  legislature  who  will  work 
more  for  the  commercial  and  common 
interests  and  less  for  the  trusts  und  cor- 
porations." 

The  speaker  referred  to  price-cutting 
as  a  grave  danger  and  particularly  to 
the  menace  from  the  groat  departmtvnt 
store.  In  the  beginning  the  cutter  prob- 
ably made  money,  but  now  the  cut  price 
is  the  rule,  and  no  one  makes  money, 
not  even  the  manufacturers.  Cutting  af- 
fects the  whole  trade,  and  I  think  that 
we  could  get  the  support  of  wholesalers 
and  manufacturers  to  repress  this  ten- 
dency. Illegitimate  methods  are  resort- 
ed to,  such  as  cutting  on  one  line  to  get 
the  people  in  the  store  to  buy  other 
things  with  greater  profits.  It  lies  in 
the  hands  of  the  jobl)er  and  manufac- 
turer to  control  stocks,  and  they  must 
be  convinced  that  the  cutting  is  against 
their  interest.s.  1  suggest  that  we  co- 
operate  with   them. 

"Trade  relations  require  a  great  deal 
of  thought.  The  better  we  know  the 
jobbers  and  the  closer  we  are  to  them 
the  better  we  will  be  able  to  cope  with 
our  common  enemies.  My  experience  is 
that  they  are  our  best  supporters  and 
are  ready  at  all  times  to  co-operate  with 
us. 

"Our  work  must  be  an  earnest  one.  It 
will  test  our  staying  qualities,  and  the 
work  belongs  tt)  all  of  us.  If  we  are 
steadfast  we  will  reach  great  results 
and  all  reap  a  harvest  of  good. 

"The  national  convention  next  Octo- 
ber is  an  open  question,  and  I  hope  that 
this  association  will  take  action  to  keep 
it  in  this  state.  In  conclusion,  I  ask 
you  all  to  help  in  the  work  and  do 
your  best." 

COMMITTEE  ON  SUGGESTIONS. 

The  statt^  president  then  declared  the 
convention  open  after  which  it  was 
moved  by  John  Powell,  of  Minneapolis 
that  a  committee  of  seven  be  appointed 
to  take  up  and  act  upon  the  presi- 
dent's .suggestions.  The  motion  was 
carried  and  a  committee  was  appointed 
as  follows:  Simon  Clark.  Duiuth. 
chairman:  H.  F.  "Butters,  Excelsior;  C. 
F.  Kappe,  St.  Paul;  F.  J.  Lake,  Scan- 
dia:  J.  E.  Raff,  Winona:  N.  E.  Aklnson 
Red  Wing;  C.  M.  Griffin,  West  Superi- 
or. 

A  committee  of  seven  on  enrollment 
was  then  appointed,  as  follows:  Henry 
Folz.  Duiuth:  J.  W.  Lux,  St.  Paul:  J

NATIONAL  PRESIDENT  TALKS. 

One  of  the  features  of  the  mnrning 
session  was  the  address  of  President  G. 
A.  Shearer  of  the  national  association. 
He  was  more  pleased  to  be  there,  he 
said,  than  the  convention  was  to  have 
him,  prol>ably.  He  congratulated  the 
state  association  on  the  success  of  its 
second  annual  convention.  It  was  hard 
to  interest  merchants  in  a  move  for  or- 
ganization in  the  beginning.  They 
waulcO  to  sec  somethins-  tanpible  riprht 
away.  He  regretted  that  the  advan- 
tages of  co-operation  were  not  more 
fully  realized.  The  trouble  was  that 
men  stood  behind  their  counters  and 
doubted.  Much  education  had  been 
afforded  by  the  efficient  work  of  the 
local  associations  in  the  Twin  Cities  and 
Duiuth.  Financial  considerations  were 
of  secondary  importance.  The  main 
object  was  the  social  feature,  the  inter- 
change of  experiences,  which  broadened 
the  view.  Why  stand  longer  aloof? 
Laws  were  looked  to  to  promote  equity. 
To  their  sorrow  they  had  seen  the 
bodies  that  make  laws  legislating  in 
favor  of  trusts.  A  body  that  was  not 
jepresented  was  not  counted.  There 
was  a  general  disgust  with  the  manner 
of  election  and  representation.  Were 
we  not  to  blame?  Citizens  meet  on  the 
street  corners  and  find  fault  with  the 
results  when,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  they 
have  staid  at  home  from  primaries. 

He  did  not  wish  to  be  understood  at 
this  time  as  favoring  action  by  the  re- 
tail grocers  as  an  independent  factor  in 
politics.  But  the  time  had  come  to  work 
to  secure  good  candidates.  Platforms 
were  coming  to  be  a  secondary  consid- 
eration. Honest  men  were  wanted. 
How  could  they  be  procured  if  we  ne- 
glected our  duties? 

The  speaker  reviewed  the  work  to  se- 
cure equitable  legislation.  The  substi- 
tution of  the  Torrey  bankruptcy  bill  for 
the  Nelson  bill  had  been  secured,  for 
which  the  national  organization  claimed 
the  credit;  effective  work  had  been  done 
for  the  postal  savings  banks  measure, 
and  a  national  food  law.  The  interstate 
commerce  law  relative  to  package  goods 
practically  defeate<l  the  state  laws  so 
lar  as  pure  foods  were  concerned,  and 
a  national  food  law  was  needed. 

TTie  practice  of  selling  goods  by  prizes, 
gift  schemes  and  trading  stami>s  was 
denominated  as  extremely  hurtful, 
iiaving  nothing  commendaijle  in  it. 
Rivalry  in  business  was  all  right,  but 
the  inducements  offered  should  be  in 
point  of  service,  kncvwledge  of  the  busi- 
ness and  pleasing  customers.  Merchants 
hold  forth  to  their  customers  that  by 
the  trading  stamp  scheme  they  obtained 
something  for  nothing.  As  a  matter  of 
fact,  the  tra-ding  stamps  have  to  be  paid 
by  somebody.  Was  it  not  a  delusion  and 
a  snare?  And  were  not  grocers  parties 
to  the  crime,  as  it  mig^ht  be  called? 

The  speaker  urged  that  unfair  gar- 
nishment laws  should  be  repealed  and 
instanced  what  had  been  accomplished 
in  this  line  in  Illinois  by  co-operation. 
Organization  was  the  only  way  to  get 
the  support  of  legislative  representa- 
tives. The  convictions  of  the  latter  are 
stifled  by  political  considerations.  They 
are  not  to  be  moved  by  considerations 
of  justice  and  equity  merely.  Courage 
should  be  maintained  during  the  first 
steps  in  organization.  All  should  turn 
in  and  help  stimulate  interest.  Organi- 
zation was  indispensable  for  the  accom- 
plishment of  needed  reforms.  The 
Eastern  people  were  coming  Into  line 
and  the  speaker  had  received  requests 
from  them  that  the  national  convention 
be  held  in  the  £ast. 

President  Shearer's  remarks  were  re- 
ceived  with  frequent  applause  and  his 
witty    sallies    provoked    much    laughter. 
THE  SECRETARY'S   REPORT. 

The  report  of  Secretary  G.  L.  Ding- 
ham,  of  Minneap«dls,  was  an  able  re- 
view of  the  first  year's  work.  Insuffi- 
cient funds  had  much  crippled  the  work 
In  this  connection,  credit  was  given  the 
Cambridge  association  as  the  only  one 
to  forward  dues  for  the  year.  The  em- 
ployment of  an  organizer  permanently 
was  recommended.  The  co-operation  of 
the  Jobbers  and  salesmen  of  the  state

and  the  liberal  contributions  of  the  Job- 
bers were  acknowledged.  The  receipts 
during  the  .vear  were  stated  to  have 
been  1777.50;  expenditures,  $880.20;  de- 
ficit, J52.T0.  The  principal  source  of 
revenue  had  been  the  advertisements 
in  the  ofHclal  hand  book,  the  gross  sum 
realized  from  thl.'«  source  being  $7112. GO, 
netting  the  nssoclatlon  5190.42.  The  re- 
port <loseil  with  an  exxpression  of  the 
hope  that  th*  association  would  speedi- 
ly take  a  place  in  the  front  rankn  of  «jr- 
ganizatlons  in  the  state. 

Treasurer  <;•.  F.  Rapple,  of  Minneapo- 
lis, made  a  very  brief  oral  report,  merely 
saying  that  the  books  had  been  audited 
and  the  deficit  of  J5-T0  found  just  as 
the  secivtary  had  slated.  Delegate 
Powell   inquired    who   had  got   it. 

C^ganizer  J-'.  W.  Mosher  of  Duiuth 
reported  that  he  had  been  out  two  and  a 
half  month.-*;  had  visited  thirty-five 
plaies,  and  organiztrd  associations  at 
ten  points,  among  which  was  Alexandria, 
Lung  Prairie  Eagle  Bend,  St.  Cloud, 
Sauk  Center  and  M(mtevidi  o.  The  asso- 
ciations organized  by  him  had  a  total 
im-mbershipw>f  eighty-two.  The  groat 
obstacles  (<•  organization  were  lack  of 
faith  in  ea<  h  other  among  the  mer- 
chants. And  m  many  cases  the  requisite 
hard  work  hfid  not  been  put  in,  and  the 
result  was  failure  and  disgust  with  the 
scheme.  In  t;ome  places,  Mr.  Mosher 
said,  he  felt  sure  they  would  train  a 
Gatling  gun  on  him  if  he  went  back. 
He  had  falUr  short  by  $45  of  making  his 
expenses. 

On  motion  the  conference  of  local  as- 
sociation presddents  <m  the  subject  of  a 
national  con\entinn  was  made  a  special 
order  of  business  for  4  p.   m. 

This  afternoon  the  convention  listened 
to  papers  by  J.  P.  McGaughey,  of  Min- 
neapolis, on  "Buy  Cheap,  Sell  Cheap,  the 
Motto  of  the  Department  Stores;"  J.  H. 
Tenwoorde,  of  St.  Paul,  on  "The  epart-

It?"  C.  W.  Hall,  of  St.  Paul,  editor  of 
the  Trades  and  Herald,  on  "The  Supply 
House  and  What  Are  We  Going  to  Do 
About  It?"  and  Milton  O.  Nelson,  of 
Minneapolis,  editor  of  the  Commercial 
Bulletin  and  Northwest  Trade,  on  "The

A  Suit  For  Beer. 

Abraham  Levine,  of  Tower,  this  morn- 
ing began  suit  against  Frank  Trampush, 
his  agent  for  the  sale  of  beer  to  dealers, 
to  recover  $300  alleged  to  be  due  for 
various  irregularities  of  the  defendant. 
The  plaintiff  says  that  when  he  put  tht 
defendant  at  work  the  latter  agreed  that 
if  he  sold  beer  to  any  persons  not  licensed 
."aloonkeei»ers  heshould  be  responsible  for 
the  payment.  It  is  alleged  that  he  sold 
some  beer  to  one  N.  Bersovitz,  who  did 
not  pay,  and  this  is  one  of  the  items 
sued  for.  It  is  also  claimed  that  the  de- 
fendant sold  beer  to  M.  Bersovitz.  who 
wa.s  financially  irresponsible,  against  the 
plaintiff's  protest,  and  that  he  sold  600 
barrels  of  beer  at  $8,  and  accounted  for 
only  $7.50.  W.  G.  Bonham  is  the  at- 
torney.

imer.'sting  feature  of  the  story  was 
that  all  that  portion  «d'  the  S«uidan  in- 
cluded in  the  Haussa  and  Inea  states, 
roaihing  north  ahout  HltO  miUs  from 
the  ot  can  and  the  mouth  «>f  the  Niger, 
and  c.\teiidin.g  east  and  wi^t  ai>oiii  thi 
same  distance,  hav-  iK^en  itmle.sscdly 
under  British  control.  The  territory 
in  tiuestion  lies  on  the  west  coast  di- 
rectly on  the  big  bend  of  the  continent 
of  Africa  v.here  the  coast  line  sweeps 
from  east  and  west  to  south.  The  Niger 
river  runs  almost  through  the  midst 
of  the  territory,  and  its  mouth  is 
within  its  limits.  The  sultanate  of 
Sokoto  lies  in  the  northwestern  part  «  l 
the*  area,  and  the  capital,  Sokoio,  lies 
far  to  the  northwest  on  a  river  of  the 
same  name  and  a  tributary  of  the 
N  iger. 

The  dispaXch  stated  that  a  party  of 
200  French  ofticcrs  and  men  >vere  then 
midway  between  the  Niger  and  th.^ 
capital,  and  that  the  objective  point  of 
the  twi)  e.Kpeditions  was  the  capital  of 
the  sultanate.  It  wa-s  also  said  that 
the  sultan  of  Sokoto  was  determined 
to  resist  the  French  advance  and  that 
th,^  Royal  Niger  company  would  a.s- 
sist  with  the  British  forces  at  its  com- 
mand. Tints  there  was  presented  the 
basis  of  s  -rious  trouble  between  Fran- 
and  England,  which  have  already  had 
several  di.-putes.  wliich  almost  culmin- 
ated in  war.  over  the  boundaries  td

dispatih  yesterday,  however,  put  an 
end  to  the  sensation.  Premier  Salisbury 
having  read  in  parliament  a  dispatch 
from  the  British  amba.^sadi'r  at  Paris, 
saying  that  the  French  minister  of 
fortign  affairs  had  assured  him  that 
the  French  government  has  no  desire 
to  approach  Sokoto  and  that  there  are 
no  French  troops  in  that  region.  Thus 
another  probable  cause  of  hostilitLs 
has  been  removed,  and  the  excitement 
in  England  can  cool  down,  while  the 
French  can  confine  their  attention

The  grocers  form  an  important  part 
of  the  community.  We  could  hardly  do 
wilhKiut  them.  They  are  daily  brought 
into  close  relations  with  almost  every

Waiter  Wellman.  the  Washington 
correspondent  of  the  Chicago  Times- 
Herald,  makes  a  statement  which,  if 
true,  is  of  very  great  importance.  He 
ai?serts  that  President  McKinley  is  pre- 
paring to  move  upon  Spain,  and,  within 
sixty  days,  will  present  to  the  Madrid 
government  a  demand  that  the  war  in 
Cuba  be  stopped.  The  great  majority 
of  the  -\merican  people  will  applaud 
such  a  move  on  the  part  of  the  presi- 
dent. It  should  have  been  made  months 
ago.  The  proper  time  certainly  has  ar- 
rived now-  to  intervene  and  put  an  end 
to  the  scenes  j£  carnage,  disease  and 
starvation  in  that  unhappy  island,  ant) 
the  ultimatum  to  Spain  cannot  be  pre- 
sented quickly  enough  to  suit  the 
American  people. 

Mr.  Wellman  says  the  demand  for  the 
ces.-ation  of  the  war  has  been  already 
decided  upon,   but  the   terms  in   which 
it   is   to   be  expressed    will   not   be   ar- 
ranged till  after  the  Maine  incident  is 
cleared   and  the   Spanish    note   now   in 
transit    to    this   country   has     been    re- 
ceived.   The  demand  which  the  president 
has  resolved  ti  make  of  Spain  does  not 
mean  war  necessarily,  but  it  does  mean 
•peace  in   Cuba  and  a  cessation  of   the 
horrors  of  the  situation  now  existing  in 
that  island.    It  may  bring  on  a  critical 
situation,    but    proi>ably    n>    hostilities. 
The   r^resident    will    point   out   to   Spain 
that  the  situation  in  Cuba  is  intjlorable 
to  the  United  States;  that  there  are  no 
signs  of  a  settlement  by  Spain   alone; 
that  as   matters   now   look   the   war   is 
likely   to  go  on   indefinitely:    that   this 
government    has    waited    patiently    for 
the  experiment  of  a  new  adminitstration 
and  a  new  policy  in  Cuba,  but  that  no 
go:)d  appears  to  have  come  from  them; 
that   autonomy   is   a   failure,   and    that 
neither  from  the  civil  nor  military  point 
of  view  has  Gen.  Blanco  achieved  a  suc- 
cess: that  many  thousands  of  people  are 
starving,  with  no  prosoect  of  an  amel- 
ioration of  taeir  conditijn. 

It  is  further  stated  that  the  president 
■will  inform  Spain,  in  respectful  but  firm 
language,    that   the   United   States   has 
discharged      all      the    obligations    of    a 
•neutral;    that  this  government  has  ex« 
erclsed  extrairdinary  patience;  that  we 
iKive  suffered  loss  of  commerce,  Of  the 
capital  of  our  citizens,  of  the  De4ce  of 
mind  of  our  whole  community.    Hje  will 
declare  that  our  patience  Is  exhausted, 
and  that  the  time  has  come  for  a  solu- 
tion  of  the  vexing   problem,    involving 
the   welfare  of   two   great   nations   and 
the   very  existence  of  a  million  and   a 
half  of  people.     The  president  will  in- 
form   Spain    that    the   United    States    is 
willing   to  assist   in    restoring   peace   t> 
the  unhappy  island;   that  this  govern- 
ment, meeting  its  responsibilities  to  its 
own    people    and    to    humanity,    insists 
up^m  a  settlement  at  once.     The  United 
States   will   join   Spain    in    the   creation 
of  an  international  commission  to  visit 
Cuba,  treat  with  the  insurgents  and  de- 
vise   a    solution.      The    president    may 
mention,  as  one  possilde  means  of  set- 
tlement,   the      surrender    of     Cuba    by 
Spain  for  a  large  money  indemnity,  the 
United  States  to  guarantee  the  payment 
of  the  ijonde,  this  government  holding 


.\N  IMPK-\CTIC.VBLK  SCHEME. 

.\  correspondent  voiced  in  The  Herald 
yesterday  the  general  sentiment  of  Du- 
luth people  when  he  said  that  the  idea 
of  a  middle  canal  through  Minnesota 
Point,  which  some  people  has  revived 
after  a  lapse  of  a  decade,  will  not  bt 
tolerated  for  one  rrtoment. 

There  is  no  necessity  for  a  new  canal 
through  the  point,  and  none  will  be  per- 
imitted  by  the  people  of  Duluth.  The 
present  ship  canal  is  to  be  widened  and 
improved  during  the  coming  sea.son,  ac- 
cording to  plans  prepared  by  the  g nein- 
ment  engineer,  and  it  will  afford  ac- 
commodations, in  conjunction  with  th--^ 
Superior  entrance,  which  is  also  to  be 
improved,  for  all  the  traffic  which  can  1»o 
expected  for  many  years  to  come.  An- 
other canal  through  the  middle  of  the 
point  would  result  in  filling  up  a  large 
tJOTtion  of  the  harbor,  which  has  been 
dredged  at  an  expense  of  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  dollars,  and  would  prove  a 
strious  disadvantage  to  the  city. 


'It  takes  an  immense  sum  of  money  to 
run  the  municipal  gi>vernment  of  a  large 
city.  Sevtnty-five  million  dollars  is  the 
estimated  sum  of  the  first  budget  of  the 
enlarged  New  York,  as  revised  and  cor- 
ricttd.  The  total  appropriations  by  the 
various  boards  of  estimate  in  December 
was  $6S.710,003.  Of  this  sum  New  York 
am'ropriated  $."d,44:!,i'i4:',  Hrooklyn  .$ir,,-

Hannis  Taylor,  former  minister  to 
Spain,  is  a  candidate  for  the  Democratic 
nomination  to  congress  in  the  First  Ala-

Hon.  George  Washington  Taylor  of 
Demopolis  and  includes  six  counties  in 
the  southwestern  portion  of  the  stale, 
five  of  them  on  the  Mobile  river.  It  is 
ovt  rwhelmingly    Democratic. 


"More  money  has  gone  into  the  Klon- 
dike already  than  has  come  out  of  it," 
says  a  government  geolo.gist  at  Wash- 
ington, "and  he  might  have  added  that 
a  good  deal  more  will  continue  to  go  into 
that  region  than  will  be  brought  out,  ' 
says  the  Springfield  Republican. 

Ex-President  Harrison's  remarks  on

greatest  tax-dodgers  in  the  land. 


Generally  Understood  to  Mean  More 
Than  Inspection. 

New  Yoiic.  Feb.  2:!.— The  World  say.-^: 
Maj.  (Jen.  Merritt  in  command  of  th<' 
Eastern  department  of  the  Tnited  States 
army  will  start  on  a  tour  of  inspection 
of  the  Southern  fortifications  before  the 
end  of  the  week.  It  was  his  original  in- 
tention to  leave  Govi-rnor's  island  today 
fe)r  New  Oileans,  but  at  midnight,  it  was 
generally  understood  that  he  would  not 
be  able  to  start  for  a  day  or  two. 

This  sudden  move  on  the  part  of  Gen. 
^klerritt,  following  so  clo.sely  upon  the 
recent  order  of  Gen.  Miles,  relative  to 
the  necessity  of  completing  the  new 
^vorks  of  defense  at  the  f<ntifications 
throughou  the  country,  has  created 
(luite  a  sensation  in  army  circles.  Os- 
tensibly h,'  is  simply  going  on  his  an- 
nual tour  of  inspection.  At  the  island. 
Fort  Wat  sworlh  and  Fort  Hamilton, 
it  is  um'erslood  that  his  mission  is  ol 
far  greater  importance  than  the  regu- 
lation visit  to  the  stations  under  hi.^ 
command. 

It  is  be;ieved  that  the  work  on  the 
new  ordnance  of  the  Southern  fortifica- 
tions has  not  been  going  on  with  sufli- 
cient  rapidity  to  satisfy  either  Gen. 
Miles  or  Jen.  Merritt.  At  the  new 
works  at  T^irt  Hamilton  of  the  four  new 
guns,  onl.v  three  are  now  in  position. 
Fort  Wadsworth  has  fared  more  for- 
tunately. 

Another  development  which  has  a  di- 
rect l)ear  n.g  on  <ien.  Merritt's  depar- 
ture is  the  artillery  bill  which  yester- 
day passed  the  senate.  This  bill  pro- 
vides for  the  maintaining  of  two  more 
artillery  legiment.s.  It  is  the  intention 
of  Gen.  Jlerritt  to  have  one  of  the.se 
(luartered  at  Sandy  Hook.  The  other 
will,  in  all  probal>ility.  be  distributed 
among  th"  various  posts  along  the  At- 
lantic coast. 

When  Gen.  .Miles  .sent  word  to  Gen. 
Merritt  relative  to  the  necessity  of  get- 
ting all  available  ordnance  ready  foi 
immediate  use.  he  especially  referred 
to  the  wo  -k  at  Fort  Hamilton  and  Fort 
Wadsworth.  These  ports  are  of  the 
greatest  importance  and  j)ractically 
eontrol  th'  (  hannel  and  lower  bay.  Their 
works  wi  1  all  be  personally  inspected 
and  investigated  by  Gen.  Merritt  in  the 
near  future. 

it  is  Gen.  Merritt's  intention  to  first 
visit  New  Orleans  and  inspect  Fort  Phil- 
lip and  Fon  Jackson.  The  other  forts 
that  Gen.  :\b'rritt  will  visit  are  at  Mo- 
bile. Chai'leston.  Galveston.  Savannah, 
Pensacola  nnd  Key  West. 


-\nother  instance  of  the  extension  or 
.\mtrican  ciinjimerce  is  furnished  by  the 
stateir.ent  that  Alabama  is  shipping  cot- 
ton and  pig  iron  to  Japan.

THK  PAKI.S  EXI'OSITIO.N. 

The  sundry  civil  appropriation  l>ill. 
reported  to  the  lower  branch  of  con- 
gress, does  not  provide  a  sufficient  ap- 
propriation for  the  Paris  exposition,  al- 
though it  was  probably  the  committee's 
idea  that  a  further  grant  might  be  mace 
for  the  succeeding  fiscal  year.  The  bill 
provides  for  an  appropriation  of  only 
$100,000,  whereas  the  sum  of  $500,000  was 
requested  i  i  order  that  the  United  States 
may  be  properly  represented  at  the 
great  exposition.  It  is  almost  unneces- 
saiv  to  say  that  the  sum  provided  for 
by  the  bill  is  entirely  inadequate.  The 
hou.se  may  increase  the  amount  when 
the  bill  comes  before  it,  o-  the  senate 
may  attend  to  that  point.  It  certainly 
should  be  raised  to  at  least  $250,000. 
and  the  whole  sum  of  $500,000  originally 
requested  could  be  expended  with  ad- 
vantage to  the  interests  of  this  coun- 
try. 

The  French  government  has  provided 
three  methods  for  the  display  cf  foreign 
exhibits.    The  choice  rests  with  the  na- 
li(»n  exhibiting.     Articles  may  go  to  the 
various  bnildings  of  the  exposition  ac- 
cording   to    <'iassification.        A      special 
palace  or  pavilion  may   be  erected   for 
the  display  of  a  nation's  exhibits.     The 
third    method    is   a   conriltination    of   the 
first   two,   partly  one,   partly   the  other. 
The  government   will  send   to  Paris  at 
once  Third  Assistant  Secretary  of  State 
Cridler,   as  a  special   commissioner,   an 
assistant    to    Mr.    Cridler   and    a    naval 
lieutenant.     They  are  to  study  the  con- 
ditir)n    of    affairs     at     the      exposition 
grounds — what  has  been  done  and  what 
is   to   be  done.     This   report    will   go   to 
the    permanent    commission    when    ap- 
pointed.    The  president,  it  Is  expected, 
will    not    only   appoint   a    successor    to 
Mai.    Handy,    but    will    also      name     a 
board  of  commis.sioners  for  the  general 
charge   of   American    exhibits. 

Reports  from  Paris  show  that  com- 
plete plans  of  all  the  buildings  for  the 
exposition  have  been  subrnitted.  The 
French  minister  of  commerce  has  ap- 
proved of  those  that  will  be  located  on 
the  left  bank  of  «^he  River  Seine.  In  a 
few  weeks  the  contracts  ibr  all  the

Hundred     Tons     of     Supplies 
Deeply  Buried. 

Tacotna.  Wash.,  Feb.  23.— Two  weeks 
ago  an  avalanche  came  thundering 
down  tile  mountain  slope  at  the  south 
end  of  Lake  Bennett,  an  immense  mass 
of  snow  and  ice  was  deposited  on  the 
trail  and  200  tons  of  supplies  were 
buried  many  feet.  Their  owners  hud 
stacked  them  up  together,  in  what 
seemed  to  be  a  shelter  spot,  while  they 
were  sawing  lumber  foi-  boat-building. 
Now  they  have  left  only  the  whip  saws 
and  are  trying  to  dig  out  their  outlits. 
So  far  as  can  be  learned  no  one  was  in- 
jured by  the  avalanche  though  people 
in  tents  not  far  away  had  a  narrow- 
escape. 

This  news  was  brought  down  by

THE     DDLUTH     EVENING     HERALD:    WEDNESDAY,     FEBRIIRAY     2.!,     1898. 


Onward 
And  Forward !  ^ 

As  there  is  no  let-up  in  our  establishment  of  receiving  new  ^ 
Spring  Goods  every  day,  and  we  are  pleased  to  say  that  we 
are  selling  thtm  about  as  fast  as  they  come,  the  ladies  appre-

GETTING  FIGIRES. 


committees  on  Customs  Dis- 
trict Are  Preparing  Data 
to  Be  Submitted. 

The  committees  appointed  by  the 
chamber  of  commerce  and  an  informal 
meeting  of  business  men  to  prepare 
facts,  figures  and  arguments  to  show 
why  the  Duluth  customs  house  should 
not  be  attached  to  the  St.  Paul  district, 
are  working  together.  They  are  col- 
lecting some  very  intersting  data  which 
will  show  how  fallacious  is  the  posi- 
tion tak#n  by  Secretary  Bliss,  who  in 
judging  of  the  importance  of  a  port 
considers  only  the  fact  that  it  costs  a 
certain  sum  to  collect  every  dollar  of 
revenue  at  each  port.  If  the  report 
shows  that  it  costs  more  than  a  dollar 
to  collect  a  dollar  as  is  the  case  in  Du- 
luth he  declares  that  the  office  is  not  self 
sustaining,  regardless  of  any  other  cir- 
cumstances. The  expenses  of  the  St. 
Paul  office  are  about  one-third  those  of 
I>uluth  and  much  more  than  enough 
revenue  is  collected  there  to  pay  them. 
It  will  be  shown,  however,  that  at  least 
one  large  item  of  revenue  shown  in  the 
report  of  the  St.  Paul  collector  is  mis- 
leading for  while  the  duty  is  collected 
on  a  certain  class  of  goods,  it  is  nearly 
all  paid  back  to  the  importer  as  a  re- 
bate, and  the  rebate  is  not  charged 
against  the  office. 

.Much  of  the  expense  of  the  Duluth  of- 
fice is  to  pay  for  necessary  work  which 
does  not  yield  a  direct  revenue.  This  is 
necessary  because  of  Duluth's  position 
a.'*  a  lake  port  where  many  foreign  goods 
go  and  come  in  bond.  The  St.  Paul  of- 
fice on  the  other  hand  is  not  handicap- 
pe<l  in  this  way.  It  is  believed  that  the 
agitation  precipitated  by  Secretary  Gage 
will  result  in  a  rearrangement  of  the 
customs  districts  in  the  Northwest,  but 
it  is  not  feared  here  that  Duluth  will 
lose  any  by  the  change.  On  the  con- 
trary there  is  good  reason  for  believing 
that    territory    which    naturally    belongs

THE  GUM  CLIB  SHOOT. 


Some  Fine  Sport  at  Yesterday  After- 
noon's Shoot. 

The  Washington  birthday  shoot  of 
the  Central  Gun  club,  being  the  first  of 
the  new  year  and  probably  the  last  of 
the  winter  season,  attracted  a  large 
crowd  yesterday,  including  four  men 
frr.m  Superior  and  one  from  Ely.  The 
Ely  man  was  F^isenoch  and  the  Superior 
men  were  Fulton,  Pierce,  Hogan  and 
Finn^  The  event  of  the  day  was  the 
team  .shoot,  and  Bowstring  and  Wads 
were  chosen  to  captain  the  two  teams. 
Wads  was  the  winner,  the  teams  being 
picked  by  the  captains  from  the  men  on 
the  grounds.  In  the  single  bird  events 
Warren  won  the  first,  of  ten  birds,  by  a 
score  of  9;  Hogan,  Hart,  Wright  and 
Finn  each  made  8  in  the  second,  also 
of  ten  birds;  Fulton  won  the  third  of  ten 
birds  l)y  a  score  of  i);  Fulton  also  won 
the  f  jurth.  of  fifteen  birds,  by  a  score 
of  12,  and  Eennett  made  a  straight  10  in 
the  fifth  event. 

In  the  team  shoot,  in  which  there  were 
twenty-five  birds  for  each  man  and 
eight  men  on  each  side.  Wads  won  by  a 
total  score  of  125  to  114. 


The  uppre  floors  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  building  were  Imdly  dam- 
aged by  fire  last  night,  the  major  jwr- 
tion  of  the  damage  being  on  the  lifth 
and  sixth  lloor.s.  The  fire  is  supposed 
to  have  originated  in  a  storage  ro  >m  full 
of  ixvper  on  the  fifth  floor  next  to  the 
light  shiaft  in  the  sjutheast  corner. 

The  flrst  alarm  was  turned  in  from 
Fourth  avenue  west  and  Superior  street 
at  10:08,  at  which  time  the  glare  of 
the  flames  was  seen  reflected  up 
through  the  court  next  the  ea.^t  wall 
of  the  building.  When  the  ittre  depart- 
'ment  reached  the  scene  the  flames  were 
making  headway  in  the  hallway  of  the 
fifth  floor,  up  the  light  shaft  from  that 
Moor  to  the  sixth  floor,  and  had  invaded 
the  fourth  floor  at  one  s^ot. 

A  general  alarm  was  at  once  turned 
in,  and  in  a  few  minutes  enginf  com- 
jKinies  1.  2  und  ;{,  ihemical  No.  1  and 
two  truck  companies  were  on  the 
ground  and  six  streams  of  water  had 
been  brought  to  bear. 

The  flames  in  the  light  shaft  were  sub- 
dued without  much  difficulty,  but  the 
lire  in  the  elevator  shaft  gave  the  flre- 
iiien  more  trouble.  In  the  latter  place 
the  flames  penetrated  among  the  net- 
work of  wires  at  the  t^p  of  the  shaft, 
the  wires  greatly  impeding  the  efforts 
of  the  firemen.  In  addition,  the  flrst  line 
of  hose  in  position  burst  almost  as  soon 
as  the  water  was  turned  on,  and  another 
line  had  to  be  hauleil  up  from  the  bt»t- 
tom  of  the  shaft.  During  the  delay  thus 
caused  the  fire  got  a  good  foothold  and 
the  top  of  the  shaft  bwame  wholly  en- 
veloped in  a  seething  maiss  of  flames. 

Unable  to  make  any  headway  with 
their  axes  on  account  of  the  wires,  the 
firemen  ))rought  their  hooks  into  ser- 
vice and  punched  holes  from  beneath 
for  streams  from  there.  Streams  were 
now  concentrated  at  this  point  as  fast 
as  they  could  be  spared  from  other 
parts  of  the  building,  and  for  a  quarter 
of  an  hour  there  was  a  stubborn  fight, 
the  firemen  being  handicapped  by  the 
dense  smoke. 

The  ffames  finally  br  )ke  through  the 
top  of  the  shaft,  an  outlet  for  the  smoke 
being  thus  afforded,  and  in  a  very  few 
minutes  afterward,  at  11:45,  the  flames 
were  under  control.  Three  stream.s. 
were  kept  on  the  roof  until  12:30. 

Every  floor  on  the  east  side  of  the 
building  was  flooded  with  about  tw^ 
inches  of  water,  and  only  the  efficient 
work  of  the  salvage  coi-ps  preventetl  the 
damage  to  office  fixtures  from  being 
very  much  heavier  than  it  w<as.  The 
tenants  on  the  fifth  and  sixth  floors  are 
the  heaviest  losers,  the  contents  of  all 
of  the  offices  on  these  floors,  among 
which  is  the  chamber  of  commerce, 
being  either  destroyed  by  fire  or  badly 
damaged  by  water. 

The  first  of  the  people  in  the  building 
to  discover  the  fire  were  P.  Wannick 
■and  the  janitor,  Herman  Schmidt.  Mr. 
Wannick,  who  was  in  office.  601,  smelling 
smoke,  looked  out  into  the  hall  and 
foun<l  the  frames  shooting  up  the  shaft 
from  the  flfth  floor.  When  the  janitor 
flrst  saw  the  fire  it  had  spread  over  the 
entire  east  side  of  the  fifth  fioor. 

The  fire  originated  in  an  inside  room 
next  the  light  well  on  the  fifth  floor  and 
spreaid  from  there.  The  damage  done  is* 
difficult  to  estimate,  but  it  will  cost 
mfire  than  was  flrst  estimated  to  repair 
the  building.  The  l>ack  end  of  the 
building  (m  the  two  upper  floors  around 
the  central  court  was  badly  burned, 
and  the  roof  around  the  elevator  shaft 
is  l>adly  damaged.  The  total  loss  will 
run  from  ?1S.000  to  $20,000,  in  all  prob- 
ability. It  is  la  slow-burning  building, 
or  the  fire  Would  have  been  much  more 
serious. 

A  number  of  the  tenants  sustained 
losses,  but  the  amount  was  small  com- 
pared to  the  number  in  the  building. 
Robert  Houghan,  stock  broker,  on  the 
fifth  fioor,  fared  the  worst,  his  loss 
being  total.  It  aggregated  about  $200. 
with  no  insurance.  W.  K.  Triggs, 
lawyer,  also  suffered  damage  of  about 
$200  and  has  no  insurance.  Harris 
r.ros.  had  a  .small  loss,  with  $100  in- 
surance. S.  I?.  Brlgham  was  damaged 
al)out  $200  and  has  no  insurance.  Rich- 
ards &  Crandall,  attorneys,  were  also 
damaged  somewhat.  Teare  &  Middle- 
coff,  on  the  top  floor,  were  slightly 
damaged,  V>ut  have  $800  insurance.  G.

TRAGEDY  IN  QUEBEC. 


Three  Persons  Killed  By  an  Avalanche 
Yesterday. 

Quebec,  Feb.  2.'5.— Four  lives  were  lost 
by  an  avalanche  at  South  Quebec  last 
night,  which  destroyed  two  houses  which 
stood  under  the  cliff,  opposite  the  Graiid 

Trunk  railway  sheds.  One  house  was 
crushed  bj-  the  weight  of  the  snow  from 
above,  while  the  upper  stories  of  tli3 
other  were  cut  clean  off  from  the  first 
story  and  overturned  in  front  of  it  on 
the  street. 

In  the  lower  part  of  one  of  the  houses 
resided  a  man  named  Angers,  his  wife 
and  six  children.  The  father  and  two 
children  were  taken  out  dead.  Mrs.  An- 
gers Is  in  a  critical  condition.  In  the 
other  house  James  King  resided,  with 
his  son  and  daughter.  Mr.  King,  his  son

APOLLO  CL.VU  CONCERT. 

The  Apollo  club  of  Minneapolis  drew 
a  large  audience  at  the  First  Method- 
ist church  last  evening.  The  great 
chorus  i.s  all  that  has  been  claimed  for 
it  and  th«  re  wai*  no  (»ne  in  the  audi- 
ence who  lid  not  recognize  the  fact.  It 
contains  sixty  voices  and  all  move  a« 
smoothly  and  unitedly  under  the 
baton  of  the  director  as  if  there  was  but 
a  single  one.  They  do  not  know  what 
hesitation  is  and  there  is  the  most  per- 
fect precision  in  attack  and  exquisite 
harmony  in  their  tones.  At  a  sweep 
of  the  baton  an  entire  section  comes  in 
JUS  though  there  were  but  one  singer. 
The  training  which  they  have  received 
is  superb  and  it  is  the  dinecttw".  Emil 
Ober-Hoff 'r.  one  of  the  foremost  mu- 
sicians of  the  Twin  Cities,  who  has 
brought  the  chorus  to  what  it  is.  one 
of  the  very  finest  in  the  United  States. 

The  program  was  a  varied  one  and 
included  several  numbers  with  piano 
and  organ  and  several  without  accom- 
paniment. The  chorus  from 
"L'Africaine,"  by  Meyerbeer,  was  the 
opening  number  and  was  magnificently 
rendered.  "On  the  Sea,"  l)y  Buck, 
which  followed,  was  one  of  the  best. 
"Landkno-ht's  Serenade,"  by  La.s- 
sus,  was  a  very  pleasing  number  and 
the  "Bugle  Song,"  by  Buck,  which 
closed  the  concert,  was  one  of  the  very 
best.  Several  numbers  were  sung 
with  soloiiUs.  H.  O.  Seagle  sang  two 
numbers  \tith  the  chorus,  a  lullaby  and 
"Sea  and  Heart,"  by  Oelschlegel.  He 
has  a  beautiful  voice  remarkably  sym- 
pathetic and  expressive.  He  waw 
given  an  encore  each  time. 

A.  P.  Qaesnel.  of  Sr.  Paul,  sang  two 
solo  numbers.  He  has  a  tenor  voice  of 
great  sweetnss  and  purity  and  is  the 
favoritf'  unor  of  the  Twin  Cities.  He 
was  given  a  fine  reception.  His  solo 
with  the  club,  "Italian  Salad,"  was  a 
very  pleasiing  number.  Mr.  Quesnel 
and  Mr.  DeVold,  sang  the  solo  parts 
for  "King  Olaf's  Christmas,"  by  Buck, 
and  this  was  probably  the  greatest 
number  o;'  the  evening. 

The  singers  from  abroad  did  not, 
however,  t-arry  off  all  the  honors.  Mrs. 
Emily  El  is- Wood  ward  sang  Eckert's 
"Swiss  E]<'ho  Song."  a  most  difllcult 
compositicn.  She  rendered  it  superbly 
and  was  recalled,  singing  a  very  dainty 
and  pleasing  arangement  of  "Comin" 
Thro'  the  Rye."  Francis  E.  Woodward 
sang  the  famous  "Toreador  Song," 
from  "Carmen"  and  rendered  it  with 
great  si)irit  and  flnish.  He  was  en- 
thusiastically recalled. 

It  was  ro  small  undertaking  to  bring 
this  club  here  and  the  management  de- 
servc-s  the  thanks  of  the  people  of  Du- 
luth for  doing  so.  There  was  consider- 
able risk  involved  as  a  large  house  was 
necessary   to    pay    the   expense. 

"THE  CEISHA"  TONIGHT. 
Tonight  and  tomorrow  night  "The 
Geisha"  v.ill  be  produced  at  the  Ly- 
ceum. "The  Geisha"  has  been  a  great 
success  and  is  said  to  be  a  musical  gem. 
Laura  Millard,  Linda  DaCo.sta.  Mark 
Smith  and  Charles  W.  Swain  are  said 
to  be  a  gr.^at  quarl.t  in  their  respective 
parts.  Miss  Millard  and  Miss  DaCosta 
are  said  to  render  the  musical  gems  of 
the  piece  in  a  most  captivating  manner. 
The  Hoydfnish  English  girl.  Molly  Sea- 
more,  in  "The  Gei.sha"  is  said  to  fit  Mi.ss 
Linda  DaCosta  to  a  nicety.  Her  dancing 
in  the  tea  garden  has  won  high  enco- 
mium from  the  pnss  and  public. 

There  is  no  better  proof  of  the  excel- 
lence of  Dr.  Bull's  Cough  Syrup  than 
that  it  is  recommended  by  leading  phy- 
sicians.

tions. Dainty  refreshments  were  served.

Drives  Headache  Qut  of  the  System. 


^M- 


of  that  trouble  after  suffering  manj^  years 
Dr.  Miles'  Restorative  Nervine. 


I 


Hard  as  it  is  to  suffer  that  continued  drawing, 

pressing,  squeezing  pain  that  is  so  characteris-  y 

tic  of  nervous  headache  in  its  advanced  stages,  y 

it  cannot  begin  to  compare  with  the  horror  of  V 

partial  paralysis.    To  be  dying  day  after  day,  v 

week  after  week,  month  after  month — no  affile-  y 

tion  can  be  more  trying.    Headaches  lead  to  a  v 

breaking  down  of  the  nervous  system,  which  y 

are  followed  by  such  diseases  as  epilepsy,  par-  y 

alysis,  insanity.    Dr.  Miles'  Restorative  Nervine  y 

cures  headache  of  the  worst  kind.    It  builds  y 

and  strengthens  the  nervous  system,  soothes  y 

and  quiets  the  deranged  nerve-centers  in  the  y 

brain,  affords  restful,  refreshing  sleep  and  stops  y 

the  worry.    Dr.  Miles'  Nervine  restores  health,  y 


This  statement  is  from  Mrs.  N.  M.  Bucknell,  2929  Oakland 
avenue,  Minneapolis,  Minn.:  "I  suffered  for  many  years  with  a 
terrible  headache — pain  at  the  base  of  the  brain,  and  ten  years  ago 
1  was  overcome  with  nervous  prostration.  I  had  frequent  dizzy 
spells  and  was  so  weak  and  exhausted  that  i  could  take  but  little 
food.  My  physicians  told  me  that  I  was  going  into  paralysis,  and 
would  surely  die  of  it,  as  my  father  and  grand-father  had  both  died 
For  three  years  1  was  a  helpless  invalid,  when  1  began  taking 
or  five  winters  1  have  felt  better  than  I  had  before  in  many  years."

THEY  GOT  HOME  LATE. 
Many  West  Duluth  people  attended 
the  Apollo  cluV>  concert  at  the  First 
Methodist  church  last  night  who  were 
greatly  inconvenienced  because  of  the 
lack  of  street  car  accommodations  to 
take  them  home.  About  thirty  of  them 
were  compelled  to  take  the  St.  Paul  & 
Duluth  passenger  train  from  the  Union 
depot  and  did  not  reach  West  Duluth 
until   nearly  midnight.

New  Townships  Opened. 

Townships  149-28  and  149-29  were 
oi>ened  for  settlement  at  the  Ignited 
States  land  offic-e  today.  There  were 
fifteen  homestead  entries  and  two  con- 
flicted, prior  settlement  being  alleged. 
Township  150-28  will  be  opened  tomor- 
row. The  lands  in  these  towns  are 
all  valuable  for  agricultural  lands, 
there  being  very  little  timber  on  them. 
They  are  on  the  extreme  western  bor- 
der of  the  Duluth  land  district  and 
near  the  Winnibigoshish  reservation. 
They  may  not  be  very  far  from  the 
Fosston  brani  h  of  the  Great  Northern 
railroad. 


DANGER  IN    SODA. 


Serious    Results  Sometimes   Follow 
its  Excessive  tse. 

Common  soda  is  all  right  in  its  place 
and  indispensable  in  the  kitchen  and 
for  cooking  ajid  washing  purposes,  but 
it  was  never  intended  for  a  medicine, 
and  people  who  use  It  as  such  will  jiome 
day  regret  it. 

We  refer  to  the  common  use  of  soda 
t )  relieve  heartburn  or  sour  stomach,  a 
habit  which  thousands  of  people  prac- 
tice almost  daily,  and  one  which  is 
fraught  with  danger;  moreover,  the 
soda  only  gives  temjKjrary  relief,  and  in 
the  end  the  stomach  trouble  gets  worse 
and  worse. 

The  soda  acts  as  a  mechanical  irritant 
to  the  walls  of  the  stomach  and  bowels, 
and  cases  are  on  record  "where  it  ac- 
cumulated in  the  intestines,  causing 
death  by  inflammation  or  peritonitis. 

Dr.  Harlandson  recommends  as  the 
safest  and  surest  cure  for  sour  stomacl* 
(acid  dyspepsia)  an  excellent  prepara- 
tion sold  by  druggists  under  the  name  of 
Stuart's  Dyspepsia  Tablets.  These  tab- 
lets are  large  20-grain  lozenges,  very 
pleasant  to  taste  and  contain  the  na- 
tural acids,  peptones  and  digestive  ele- 
ments essential  to  good  digestion,  and 
when  taken  after  meals  they  digest  the 
food  perfectly  and  promptly  before  It 
has  time  to  ferment,  sour  and  poison  the 
blood  and  nervous  system. 

Dr.  Wuerth  states  that  he  invariably 
uses  Stuart's  Dyspepsia  Tablets  in  all 
cases  of  stomach  derangements.andflnd^ 
them  a  certain  cure  not  only  for  sour 
stomach,  but  by  promptly  digesting  the 
frbd  they  create  a  healthy  appetite,  in- 
ci^ase  flesh  and  strengthen  the  action 
of  the  heart  and  liver.  They  are  not  a 
cathartic,  but  intended  only  for  stomach 
diseases  and  weakness  and  will  be 
found  reliable  in  any  stomach  trouble, 
except  cancer  of  the  stomach.  All  drug- 
gists sell  Stuart's  Dyspepsia  tablets  at 
50  cents  per  package.

No  Street  Cars  For  the  Big   Concert 
Crowd. 

The  system  of  management  which  is 
followed  by  the  dispatchers  depart- 
ment of  the  Duluth  screet  .railway 
sometimes  surpasses  the  comprehen- 
sion of  ordinary  people  and  so  it  was 
last  night.  The  concert  at  the  First 
Methodist  church  was  attended  by  at 
least  1200  people.  It  was  over  shortly 
before  10  o'clock  and  by  the  time  tha*: 
hour  had  arrived  a  great  number  of 
people  were  at  the  comer  of  Third  ave- 
nue west  waiting  for  cars.  At  Fifth 
avenue  west  were  thre<.*  or  four  car;* 
tied  up  waiting  for  the  Lyceum  to 
closie.  The  theater  was  not  to  clos- 
for  an  hour  later  and  there  was  only  a 
small  audienc-e,  but  tho.se  tars  per- 
sisted in  waiting.  The  car  starter  at 
Third  avenue  west  rang  frantically  to 
bring  them  up,  but  for  ten  minute^* 
they  did  not  budge.  Finally  at  10:l'i 
o'clock  one  of  the  conductors  was  in- 
formed that  the  car  starter  was  ring- 
ing for  him  to  come  on  and  it  thfn 
dawned  on  him  that  that  was  whm 
the  gong  was  ringing  for.  He  movnl 
on  then.  By  that  time  the  tire  de- 
partment was  coming  down  the  hill 
and  all  other  cars  were  blocked.  Had 
the  cars  moved  off  quickly  and  at  the 
time  the  concert  closed  not  one  would 
have  been  blocked  and  the  street 
railway  company  would  have  gaihere<l 
in  several  hundred  fares. 


FRENCH  LINER  OVERDUE. 


Staunch  Ship  and  Not  Much   Anxiety 
Is  Felt. 

New  York,  Feb.  23.— The  French  liner 
La  Champagne,  which  sailed  from 
Havre  Feb.  12  and  was  due  here  on 
Sunday,  had  not  l>een  sighted  up  to  11 
o'ckxk  this  forenoon.  No  anxiety  is 
felt  for  her  safety,  however,  as  she  is 
a  staunch  vessel  and  the  heavy  west- 
erly gales  which  are  known  to  hav- 
l)een  prevailing  on  th<^  Atlantic  would 
have  delayed  her.  The  Allan  lin-r 
Peruvian,  from  Glasgow,  which  anivo<l 
this  morning,   was  much  overdue.

PRESIDENT    CHARLES  W.   MENEILl.EV. 
Of  IMinneapolis  Itetail  (Jrocers'   As-ociaiion. 


W.  Hill  of  the  Duluth  association  called 
the  convention  to  order  about  10  o'clock 
this  morning,  there  were  se;ited  in  the 
s|ja<ious  drill  room  of  the  Armory 
nearly  I'lm  d  •legates,  of  whom  about 
IT.'i  weie  froni  outside  the  city  and  the 
lemaitider  members  of  the  local  asso- 
ciation. The  hall  was  rather  cool  wh-^n 
the  convention  oi»ened,  but  what  with 
the  enthusiasm  of  the  delegali-s  and 
the  extra  efforts  of  the  janitor  it  wa-- 
warm  enough  before  the  noon  reces.s 
was  reached. 

President  Hill  of  the  local  associ- 
ation opened  the  convention  with  a  few 
wrll-s.-^lecled  words  of  welcmne  to  the 
delegates.  He  said,  however,  that  as 
the  time  was  short  and  there  was  a 
good  deal  of  business  to  come  before 
the  convention,  he  v.'ould  cut  his  re- 
marks short  and  introdiice  a  man  who 
had  spent  the  best  years  of  his  life  in 
the  grocMy  business  and  who  there- 
fore knew  what  he  was  talking  about 
when  he  disrussed  it.  He  then  lntr('- 
duced  Mayoi-  Truelsen.  ^\■ho  sjioke  in 
substance  as  follows: 

"I  am  pleased  to  be  able  to  ext-  nd  to 
you  a  heaity  welcome  to  our  city  and 
1  hope  that  >  ou  will  tak(>  back  with 
you  pleasant  recollections  of  the  Zen- 
ith City,  the  only  seaport  of  Minne- 
sota and  the  only  on^  we  can  ever  have. 
We  are  proud  of  her,  and  we  ho|)e  to 
S'  e  her  one  of  the  greatest  cities  on 
the  continent.  Her  circumstani  es  and 
l<  cation  are  bound  to  mak-  her  great.. 
,-!he  is  bound  to  become  a  manufaetur-- 
iog  city.  Her  immense  depo:^its  of 
inm  orp  are  nov.-  shipped  East,  but  the 
lime  will  come  when  they  will  be 
worked  here.  I  am  pleased  to  see  the 
grocers  of  this  state.  I  have  spent 
tl-.e  best  part  of  my  life  in  that  busi- 
ness. I  know  that  you  are  the  hardest 
V.  orked  and  most  abused  and  most 
charitable  |ieople  in  any  communi;y. 
"^'on  are  busy  from  morning  till  right 
with  no  inl.'rmission,  waiting  on  your 
customers.  You  are  the  most  abused 
because  of  what  confronts  yon.  You 
must  take  all  complaints  whether  jus: 
or  not  or  yi>u  lose  <'ustomers.  .Ml 
must  be  taken  with  a  smiling  face,  and 
you  may  objint  only  when  your  stoic 
is  enipt.y  and  there  are  no  custonieis 
about.  Yon  are  the  most  charitable 
class  because  of  the  credit  extended  to 
pfKir  pi  ople.  1  imderstand  that  you  are 
now  doing  cash  business  to  a  large 
extent.  P.ul  a  poor  woman  with  a 
tale  of  hard  luck  always  appeals  to 
Ibe  jfiiK'ei-  and  he  seldom  fails  to  re- 
spond, pay  f>r  no  pay.  There  is  moie 
charity  from  the  grocers  in  any  com- 
munity than  from  any  other  class, 
even  <hariiable  associations,  so  I  al- 
ways fed  at  home  among  the  grocers. 
The  familiar  sights  of  the  store  bring 
back  pleasant  recollections  of  the  p:ist. 
1  extend  to  you  a  hearty  welcome  and 
the  freedom  of  the  city.  The  pi^-ople 
will  see  that  you  are  properly  received. 


"Although  your, 
ciatioii  is  old  and 
cdy  many  evils 
come  to  talk  over 


dtnt  of  the  star  association,  arose  to 
give  his  annua!  address,  and  he  was 
giVf.i<^d  with  thrc  rousing  cheers.  He 
said  that  he  was  pleased  to  see  so  many 
gioctis  of  Liulutli  and  of  the  state.  He 
was  also  phased  t'.iat  they  had  come  lo 
Duluth,  and  that  ihey  had  received  such 
a  u  arm  wel  'ome  ft  om  the  mayor. 

I."  he  said,  "the  ass.i- 
strong  enough  to  rem- 
;  the  trade.  We  have 
)ur  craft,  but  of  course 
we  expect  sonit  jileasure,  and  the  warm 
r.'ccption  giren  u.--.  by  Duluth  indicates 
that  this  feature  is  not  to  be  neglected. 
The  social  featut'  s  of  gatherings  of  this 
kind  are  encugh  i  '  cc^mpensate  everyone 
for  the  time  and  money  exfjended. 
Everyone  should  go  homo  the  better  for 
his  contact  \*ith  Ids  fellows.  I  want  tht- 
delegates  to  helfi  out  here,  and  not  ex- 
pect the  officers  to  do  it  all.  I  want 
each  of  you  to  tai<e  a  part,  be  it  ever  so 
small.  Any  suggestions  will  he  a  help, 
am",  they  wid  be  received  and  heard. 

"In  my  annual  report  1  shall  throw 
out  a  few  suggest ims,  and  I  hope  to  see 
the  as.soeiati  m  su'ce.'^sful  in  carrying  out 
lielp  of  the  trade.  In 
work  of  the  past  year,

tions  is  not  the  om 


1.  long,  A  committee  on  organization 
sh..uld  have  been  appointed  at  the  last 
convention,  but  tiie  executive  commit- 
te.  did  the  best  it  eoub'.  We  placed  on 
organization  E.  W.  Moshe  r.  of  Duluth. 
who  worked  hard  and  faithfully  in  the 
field,  and  wc  kei::  him  out  till  our  funds 
ran  out,  when  we  re-tired  him  rather 
than  run  into  del>i.  I  trust  thai  we  shall 
attain  the  stage  of  a  naid  .secretary  to 
(■o  all  this  ,vork,  and  I  hope  to  see  or- 
ganizations in  e\ery  town  in  the  state. 
The  traveling  men  are  doing  a  good  deal 
for  us,  and  we  owe  them  a  debt  of  grati- 
tud..  I  believe  ttiat  wr  should  have  a 
.1  minitlee  im  or:.;anizati.in,  and  money 
t.i  carry  <»ut  this  worl:. 

•We  hav."  been  sadly  handicapped 
from  lack  of  funds  during  the  past  year. 
The  e'xpMises  ol  the  lirst  i»onventioi; 
were  met  ly  the  .Minneai>olis  associa- 
tion and  con'tribiitors,  l)Ut  1  hope  to  see 
arrangements  ma  le  for  funds  to  enable 
us  to  carry  on  our  work. 

"The  matter  of  credits  is  a  serious  om- 
The-re  is  no  reason  why  a  dead-beat 
should  beat  two  of  our  grocers.  1  be- 
lieve that  a  system  of  reporting  betweei 

loli 


the  grocers  in  this  matter,  for  common 

protection    .-hould    be    arranged.      There

cease the  business  has  been  in  the  hands 
01  the  defendants,  and  that  on  Feb.  ir>,

sales  lo  persons  of  doubtful  financial

patriotic  entertainment,  although  co:i- 
(•trts,  receptions  and  social  gatherings 
were  the  order  of  the  day.  This  enter- 
tainment was  given.  I  believe,  by  soir.,- 
ladies'  club,  called  the  Ladies'  Catholic 
union,  and  the  program  would  appear  Lo 
be  as  nearly  patriotic  as  possible:  "The 
Star  Spangled  Panner,"  "Columbia,"" 
"My  C'->untry  "Tis  of  Thee"  wei-t  to  be

glad  t'>  know  Washington's  birthday

The  stock  of  Stack  &  Co..  in  the  Cnl-

by  smoke  this  morning,  and  in  a  peculiar 

manner.    A  break  in  the  heating  planl 

occurred    about    10:45   o'clock,    and   in   a 

short  time  the  store  room  was  filled  wi:h 
black  smoke.  It  poured  out  on  the 
street,  and  caused  considerable  excite- 
ment, many  people  thinking  the  ston 
Vas  on  fire.  An  investigation  disclosed 
wherein  the  trouble  lay.  and  that  there 
'was  no  danger  of  fire,  but  it  was  some 
time  before  the  flow  of  smoke  was 
checked.  The  smoke  caused  more  or  less 
damage  to  the  stock,  and  it  is  in  the 
hands  of  the  insurance  companies  for

time  he  visited  New  York.  Philadel-

covered that  the  faith  of  Eastern  leo-

among  business  men  and  investors 
that  the  city  is  about  to  enti-r  iip'>n  a

Hansbrough     Wins    a 
Skirmish  Over  It. 

"Washington.  Feb.  24. — At  the  opening 
session  of  the  senate  today  the  chaplain 
besought  the  throne  of  grace  that  in 
this  momentouB  hour  of  our  history  the 
blessing  of  the  Holy  Spirit  might  be 
granted  and  rest  upon  the  president  and 
vice  president  of  the  United  States, 
'both  branches  of  congress  and  all  the 
people  of  the  country.  He  prayed  that 
the  honor  and  dignity  and  rights  of  our 
country  might  be  upheld. 

A  joint  resoluti>n  providing  for  an 
estimate  of  the  cost  of  making  a  channel 
through  the  double  bayou,  east  side  of 
Galveston   bay.  Texas,   was  adopted. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  morning 
business  the  vice  president  laid  before 
the  .senate  the  re.='olution  of  Mr.  Allen. 
which  was  laid  over  from  yesterday. 
It  provides  for  the  appointment  of  five 
senators  to  make  an  inquiry  into  the 
affairs  of  Cuba  with  a  view  of  bringing 
the  war  to  a  peaceful  end. 

Mr.  Hansbrough  called  up  the  bill  ex- 
tending the  homestead  laws  and  pro- 
viding for  right-of-way  for  railways  in 
tl)€  district  of  Alaska.  Mr.  Haw  iins 
objected  to  consideration  of  th<?  m  a-

tco  important  to  ]»e  taken  up  hastily. 
.Mr.  Hansbrough  then  moved  that  ihe 
bill  be  taken  up  and  Mr.  Rawlins  l- 
nianded  the  yeas  and  nays.  It  wa.- 
decided,    46    to   9,    to    proceed    with    the 

measure. 

After  a  brief  discussion  Mr.  Hans-

Washington,  Feb.  24.— The  cruiser 
Cincinnati  rej)orted  her  arrival  today 
at  Rarb.adoes.  She  ran  over  from  Para, 
Prazll,  the  rea.^on  assigned  for  the  trip 
being  the  desire  of  the  dei)artment  that 
she  should  take  coal  at  an  unaffected

explanation,  always  has  on  hand  a  large 
supply  of  excellent  English  steam  navi-

News  of  the  arrival  of  the  Castine  at 
Harbadoes  is  expected  at  any  moment 
and  the  two  ships  will  remain  cruising 
among  the  smaller  islands  on  the  Car-

is  the  present  intention  to  return  them

Been  Elected. 

St.  Paul.  Feb.  24— (Special 
The  Herald.)— John  F.  Jackson,  c.f 
Paul,  was  today  elected  secretary 
the  state  board  of  corrections  and  ehar- 
ities,  to  suc<  eed  11.  H.  Hart.  Th 
resignation  of  Secretary  Hart  is  to  take 
effect  March  .U  and  the  int.-rvenijig 
time  will  be  spent  in  initiating  the  n  w 
setr-tary  into  the  work  of  the  otflce 

There  were  onl.v  two  ballots  on  the  of- 
ti<-e.  one  informal  and  the  other  forin.il. 
On  the  formal  ballot  Jackson  was  chosen 
unanimouslv.  On  the  informal  iialiot  the 
vote  stood:  Jackson,  2;  Dr.  J.  N.  Rog;  rs. 
Peter.  2:  Rev.  A.  D.  Stowe.  Siill-

"At  this  writing  divers  are  develop- 
ing Important  results.  From  examina- 
tion of  the  interior  of  the  wreckage 
they  have  secured  evidence  which  seems 
conclusive  that  the  explosion  came  from 
underneath    the  ship. 

"Some  of  the  smaller  magazines  may 
have  exploded.  The  Maine's  10-inch 
magazine  did  not  explode.  The  condi- 
tion of  the  interior  of  the  ship  shows 
further  probaliility  of  the  wrecli  having 
been  due  to  outside  force. 

"The  further  the  investigation  pro- 
gresses the  more  untenable  becomes 
the  theory  which  the  Spanish  govern- 
ment adduced  to  show  accidental  cause. 
It  is  evident  the  Spanish  case  will  l.-e 
based  on  the  claim  that  a  fire  preceded 
the  explosion.  Capt.  Sampson  and  his 
colleagues  of  the  naval  .')oard  may  have 
outside  evidence  regarding  a  torpedo 
float  producing  the  explosion. 

"One  diver  who  had  been  engaged 
in  the  work  of  getting  the  bodies  out 
said:  'God  may  be  merciful  to  the  men 
who  blew  those  poor  fellows  to  eternity 
—the   United   States  should   not   be.' 

"This  was  before  Secretary  Long's 
order  prohibiting  officers  from  talking. 
This  diver  evidently  thought  the  explo- 
sion was  not  an  accident.  He  had  an 
expert's  capacity  and  opportunity  for 
Judging. 

"The  Havana  publis  is  not  permitted 
to  know  the  intensity  of  public  senti- 
ment in  the  United  States.  Only  mea- 
ger details  are  permitted  to  be  known 
of  what  happens  in  Washington.  Con- 
gress is  watched  with  excessive  anxiety 
by  the  palace  officials,  byi  the  popu- 
lace knows  nothing  of  what  is  liable  to 
happen. 

"{evidences  of  ill-feeling  towards 
American  people  and  exultation  over 
the  Maine  do  not  lessen. 

"The  Maine  inquiry  dwarfs  interest 
in  Cuban  politics,  but  recent  develop- 
ments carry  official  confession  of  the 
failure  of  autonomy." 

Mr.  Pepper,  the  writer  of  the  abov^,

dent's spec-ial  commissioner,  when  he

again  float  the  Maine,  else  the  language 
would  seem  to  have  been  unnecessary, 
an  unwarranted  sui>r>'^Kition  in  the  case 
of  expensiv'c  cablegrams. 

It  can  be  stated  that  up  to  this  time 
the  naval  officers  have  given  no  thought 
to  the  relief  of  Admiral  Sicard  as  com- 
mander-in-chief of  the  naval  forces  on 
the  North  Atlantic  station.  They  do 
not  believe  htat  the  admiral's  health 
is  seriously  impaired,  and  it  i.s  safe  to 
say  that  no  movement  will  be  made 
towards  his  relief  unless  a  suggestion 
ccmes  first  from  himself.  Admiral 
Bunce,  for  instance,  is  so  circumstanced, 
being  not  anly  in  command  of  the  New 
York  navj  yard,  an  extremely  import- 
ant command  in  ordinary  times,  and 
certain  to  be  more  so  in  case  nf  hos- 
tilities, and  also  having  relinquished 
the  North  Atlantic  squadron  within  less 
than  a  yeir,  so  as  to  be  ineligible  for 
amther  sea  command  within  a  year  or 
two.  The  other  admirals  "are  situated 
in  about  the  same  way,  so  that  it  is 
probable  that  the  command  of  the 
.squadron,  in  the  event  that  Admiral 
Sicard  were  relieved,  might  devolve 
upon  one  of  the  commodores,  possibly 
Commod->ie  Schley,  now  president  of  the 
lighthouse  board,  which  post  he  prob- 
ably would  be  glad  to  relinquish  for 
such  a  command  as  the  North  Atlantic 
squadron. 

There  were  no  dispatches  in  the  fore- 
noon at  the  navy  department  from 
either  Ke/  West  or  Havana,  and  the 
only  naval  movement  reported  was  the 
dropping  down  from  the  Norfolk  navy 
yard  to  Hampton  roads  of  the  big 
double-tuireted  monitor  Terror.  There 
she  will  await  further  orders  from  the 
department. 

Nothing  has  been  heard  from  Gen. 
Lee  at  Havana  since  day  before  yes- 
terday in  the  shape  of  a  cablegram,  and 
as  the  consul  general  has  been  prompt 
heretofore  in  informing  the  state  de- 
partment of  any  developments  of  sig- 
nificance, it  is  supposed  that  there  have 
been  none  since  Gen.  Lee's  last  report.

ing the  yard,  the  Terror  was  saluted  by 
the  Franklin's  guns,  but  they  did  not 
respond.  Her  departure  created  con- 
siderable excitement  and  thousands 
witnessed  it.  There  was,  however,  no 
cheering,  either  from  the  shore  or  the 
decks  of  the  vessel.

It  there  were  any  develoi)ments  of 
value  at  Havana  yesterday,  or  if  any- 
thing was  disi-oveied  there  to  throw 
light  upon  the  nature  and  cause  of  the 
explosion,  none  of  these  facts  have  as 
yet  been  reported  either  to  the  navy  or 
the  state  department. 

To  attempt  to  say  from  the  position 
of  an  armor  plate  lying  in  the  upper 
works  of  the  wreck  that  the  explosion 
was  internal  or  external  in  origin  in  the 
opinion  of  the  officials  here  is  without 
warrant.  The  Maine  carried  no  armor 
below  water  at  a  greater  depth  than 
two  and  a  half  feet.  Beneath  that  there

of  ai>out  half  an  inch  structural  steel. 
All  of  the  armor,  even  that  worked  into 
the  protective  deck,  was  entirely  above 
the  magazines,  and  in  case  the  latter 
explode<i  the  armor  might  easily  have 
been   tossed   upward. 

The  navy  department  has  not  been 
informed  as  to  the  probable  length  of 
time  to  be  occupied  by  the  court  of  in- 
quiry in  its  work.  Such  a  court,  it  is 
(Said,  has  the  greatest  liberty  of  action: 
much  greater  than  a  court-martial, 
which  is  strictly  limited  by  the  naval 
regulations.  Of  course  it  is  jtossible  that 
the  court  will  leave  Havana  in  the 
course  of  a  day  or  two  for  Key  West  in 
order  to  take  there  the  testimony  of 
such  surviving  officers  and  men  as  are 
now  quartered  at  Key  West.  The  latter 
are  not  subject  to  release  from  their 
position  until  the  <ourt  has  declared 
that  it  has  condudeil  their  testimony, 
and  as  many  of  these  survivors  are 
anxious  to  secure  short  leaves  of  ab- 
sence in  order  to  see  their  families  and 
friends,  it  may  l)e  that  the  court  will 
cut  short  its  stay  at  Havana  in  order  to 
accommodate  them. 

It  is  believfHi.  however,  that  in  this 
case,  unless  there  should  be  unexpect- 
ed significant  developments  before  the 
f -)urt  leaves  Havana,  it  will  return  to 
that  place  later  on  in  order  to  ascertain 
from  the  divers  the  cause  of  the  explo- 
sion, if  any  traxe  is  left  that  will  be  of 
value. 

In  view  of  the  many  expressions  of 
doubt  concerning  the  |)ossibillty  of  rais- 
ing the  wreck  of  the  Maine,  the  mess- 
age sent  yesterday  to  the  navy  depart- 
ment by  Admiral  Sicard  has  some 
v.cight.  The  admiral  reported  that  the 
court  i»f  inquiry,  which  is  on  the  spot 
and  has  had  the  advantage  of  the  opin- 
ions of  divers,  had  declared  that  the 
most  powerful  appliances  would  be 
necessary  to  remove  the  wreck  or  raise 
the  ship.  The  expression  is  taken  to 
mean  that  the  court  has  so  far  not  con- 
cluded that   it  would   be   impossible  to

NOTHING  DISQUIETING. 

Nothing  Concealed   From   Public   By 
the  Departments. 

Wa.shington,  Feb.  24.— Reports  from 
Havana,  have  not  changed  in  any  de- 
gree the  views  of  the  high  officrials  of 
the  government,  as  to  the  probable 
cause  of  the  disast«-r  to  the  Maine.  It 
can  be  stated  on  the  highest  authority 
that  abso  utely  nothing  of  a  disquieting 
nature  has  been  received  at  the  White 
House,  nor  is  important  news  of  any 
character  expected  until  the  court  of 
inquiry  lias  completed  its  investiga- 
tions and  submitte.!  its  report.  It  can 
also  b<;  stated  upon  authority  not  to 
be  questi(med  that  the  public  has  been 
fully  informed  as  to  ail  matters  con- 
nected with  the  di.saster  to  the  Maine 
which  have  come  to  the  knowledge  of 
the  government.  N«)thing  has  been 
withheld  of  the  least  public  interest  and 
this  policy  will  be  continued  until  the 
problem  iias  l)een  solved  tind  the  whole

President  McKlnley  served  during  the 
civil  war,  and  who  was  recently  ap- 
pointed <ollector  of  internal  ravenue 
of  the  Siiuthern  Illinois  district,  re- 
turned fiom  Washington  today.  The 
general,  who  is  a  personal  friend  of 
President  McKlnley,  said  that  while  at 
the  capital  he  discussed  the  Maine  dis- 
aster and  its  possible  results  with  the 
chief  executive. 

"The  president  stated  to  me  that  he 
was  only  waiting  for  a  complete  report 
of  the  naval  board  of  Inquiry,  and  that 
should  it  report  that  our  .sailors  had 
met  their  death  through  Spanish  treach-

Washington,  Feb.  24.— Capt.  Sigsljce 
telegraphed  from  Havana  today  as 
follows; 

Havana,  Feb.  24.— Long,  Secretary  of 
the  Navy:       Wrecking  tug  Right  Arm 

arrived  yesterday.  Begins  work  to- 
day. Much  encuml>ering  metal  must 
be  l)lasted  away  in  detail.  Navy  divers 
down  aft  seven  days,  forward  four 
days.  Bodies  of  Jenkins  and  Meiiitl 
not  found.  Two  unidentified  bo<Ii<.'.s 
of  crew  found  yesterday.  Aft  com- 
partment filled  with  detached,  bJoken 
and  buoyant  furniture  and  httin.iis. 
mud  and  confusion. 

Spanish  authorities  continue  offers  of 
assistance  and  care  for  the  wounded 
and  dead.  Everything  that  goes  from 
wreck  to  the  United  States  should  be 
disinfected.  Wrecking         company 

should  provide  for  this.  Surge(jn  of 
marine  after  consulting  wi'th  others 
recommended  that  all  bedding  aivi 
clothing  should  be  abandoned.  Might 
do  to  give  to  acclimated  poor.  Csele.-;s 
fittings  and  equipments  might  li- 
towtd  to  sea  and  thrown  ov>  iboaiii. 
Will  take  all  responsibility,  but  invite 
department's  wishes.  Shall  metal  of 
superstructure  and  like  be  saved? 
Friends  of  the  dead  should  understand 
that  We  are  in  the  tropics.  Chaplain 
Chadwick  is  charged  with  all  matters 
relative  to  the  dead.  His  conduct  is 
beyond  praise.  Don't  know  what  re- 
ports are  being  printed,  but  the

of  me  and   my  positif)n.

DINED  WITH  WOODFORD. 


Gov- 


Spanish  Press   Takes   Spanish 
ernment  to  Task. 

Madrid,  Feb.  24.— The  Cnite<1  States 
minister,  Mr.  Woodford,  gave  a  banquet 
in  hinor  of  the  new  Spanish  minister 
at  Washington,  Senor  Polo  Y  De  Ber- 
nabe.  The  guests  Included  the  Austrian, 
Russian,  French,  (lerman,  Italian, 
Turkish,  Dutch  and  British  ministers 
and  the  duke  of  Veragua,  the  lineal  de- 
scendant of  Columbus,  who  was  the 
guest  of  the  United  States  at  the  time 
of  the  Chicago  fair;  the  Premier.  Senor 
Sagasta,  two  members  of  the  cabinet 
and  the  staff  of  the  United  States  lega- 
tion. 

Much  political  importance  was  at- 
tached here  to  the  incident,  and  the 
banquet,  "coupled  with  the  peaceful  ut- 
terances of  President  McKinley,"  ac- 
eording  to  a  semi-official  report,  have 
been  "optimistically  utiiiztd  by  the 
ministerial  press." 

But  the  Impartial  today  takes  the 
Spanish  government  to  task  for  its 
"apathy,  contrasted  with  the  patriotic 
feeling  of  the  country,"  and  warn.s  the 
nation  against  the  "hypocritical  Yankee 
Iiolicy,  whieh  aims  at  the  independence 
of  Cuba." 

ORDERED  TO  KEY  WEST. 
Washington,      P>b.      24.— The      Mont-

WITHDRAWN  FROM  ENTRY. 

Lands    Within    the   Nothern   Pacific 

Indemnity   Limits. 

Washington,  Feb.  24.— (Special  to  The 
Herald.)— The  wcretary  of  the  interior 
today  ordered  the  withdrawal  from 
entry  or  other  dlsposititn  of  all  public 
lands  within  the  indemnity  limits  of  the 
Northern  Pacific  railroad  grant,  between 
Duluth  and  Ashland. 

This  order  is  made  jiending  the  de- 
cisiim  in  the  courts  of  the  question  as  to 
where  the  easte'n  terminal  of  the  road 
should  be  located,  and  in  order  that  thj 
rights  of  the  railroad  company  and 
'prospective  sefttlers  ma.v  l»e  preserved. 

All  settlers  whose  entries  have  been 
acceiJted  since  the  date  of  departmf  ntal 
decision  terminal  at  Duluth  will  be 
allowed  to  submit  proof,  but  no  patents 
will  be  i.ssued  until  the  de<lsion  is  ren- 
dered. 


Cleveland,  Feb.  24.— The  second  day 
of  the  student  volunteer  convention  be- 
gan with  a  forenoon  session  at  the 
Gray's  armory.  Again  crowds  of  peo- 
ple were  turned  away  for  lack  of  room. 
The  delegates  were  seated  in  the  sec- 
tions marked  by  the  state  signs  and 
were  out  in  full  force.  The  platform 
was  again  filled  with  distinguished  mis- 
sionary and  college  men.  Profes.sor  J. 
Ro.ss  Stevenson,  of  McCormack  Theo- 
logical seminary,  Chicago,  conducted 
devotional  exercises,  and  Rev.  Dr.  Dan- 
iels, of  the  American  board  of  foreign 
missions,    offered    prayer. 

Secretary  John  R.  Mott  of  the 
World's  Student  Christian  federation 
said  in  part:  "The  purpose  of  the 
student  volunteer  movement  for  for- 
eign mission  is  to  enlist  students  for 
foreign  mission  service,  to  prepare  them 
for  their  life  work  and  to  lay  an  equal 
burden  of  responsibility  of  the  world's 
evangelization  on  all  students  who  are 
to  remain  at  home. 

"The  field  of  the  movement  is  the  thou- 
sands of  institutions  of  higher  learning 
of  the  Ignited  States  and  Canada.  It 
has  on  its  rolls  the  names  of  about  4000 
volunteers;  already  over  1000  have  sailed 
to  mi.ssiin  fields  under  the  regular  mis- 
sion boards.  Over  3000  students  are 
making  a  thorough  study  of  missions  in 
over  200  colleges  and  seminaries.  The 
students  have  been  led  to  give  $40,000  a 
year  to  missions,  and  are  seeking  to  stir 
up  the  churches  and  millions  of  mem- 
bers of  Christian  societies  of  young 
people  to  enlarge  their  giving  so  that 
all  the  volunteers  may  be  sent. 

"The  movement  has  spread  not  only 
t-)  the  colleges  of  ail  Christendom,  but 
also  of  all  mission  lands,  so  that  today 
the  Christian  students  in  over  800  in- 
stitutions, on  five  continents,  and  of  all 
races  are  united  in  an  aggressive  effort 
t  »  extend  Christ's  kingdom  speetlily 
throughout  the  world.  Under  the  in- 
fluence of  this  movement  the  subject 
of  world-wide  missions  has  taken  a 
stronger  hold  of  the  convictions  of  stu- 
dents and  is  calling  forth  from  them 
mort»  enthusias^m  and  unselfish  devotion 
than  any  other  idea."  . 

Rev.  J.  C  R.  Ewing,  D.D.,  president 
of  the  Christian  college  at  Lahore,  In- 
dia, delivered  an  interesting  address 
upon  "Intellectual  Preparation."  which 
was  heartily  applauded  at  its  conclu- 
sion. 

He  said  In  part:  "The  evangelization 
of  the  nations  is  no  light  and  insig- 
nificant task.  For  its  accomplishment 
the  liest  gifts  of  the  church  are  demand- 
ed. The  thorough  presentation  of  God's 
word  to  the  non-Christian  world  is  what 
the  church  has  undertaken  to  do.  Side 
by  side  with  our  dependence  upon  the 
Holy  Spirit  to  enlighten  the  dark  mind 
Is  the  human  side.  It  is  ours  to  strive 
to  show  the  reasonableness  of  the  faith 
which  we  profess  and  preach.  To  ac- 
comijlish  this  the  brightest  and  best 
Intellectual  gifts  to  be  found  in  the 
church  aie  needed,  and  anything  less 
than  that  we  surely  will  not  dare  to 
think  it  meet  to  give. 

"The  missionary  goes  to  stand  face 
to  face  with  hoary  systems  of  faith, 
some  of  which  have  not  a  little  to  say 
for  them.-^elves.  Western  agnosticism 
and  all  forms  of  skeptical  speculation 
havt;  encouraged  in  some  quarters  a  re- 
volt against  the  propagation  of  the 
gospel." 

As  illustrating  the  desirability  of  the 
best  possible  intellectual  and  educa- 
tional equipment  on  the  part  of  those 
who  contemplate  entering  upon  thi 
work  of  a  missionary,  he  suggested 
al)ility  to  master  a  strange  and  diffi- 
cult language;  a  good  degree  of  famili- 
arity with  the  faiths  which  it  is  the  aim 
to  undermine  or  overthrow;  definite  set- 
tled views  regarding  the  great  funda- 
mental truths  of  Christianity;  experi- 
ence in  practical  Christian  work,  in 
teaching  the  Sunday  school  or  the  Bible 
cla.s.s.  or  special  contact  in  the  Young 
Men's  and  Young  Women's  Christian 
association  with  those  who  need  help 
and  guidance;  tactfulness  in  dealing 
with  men. 

"The  work  of  organization  is  a  prom- 
inent element  in  the  life  of  the  mis- 
sionary. Non-Christian  countries  are 
not.  I  believe,  to  be  evangelized  by  for- 
eigners. Chinese,  Indian,  African  and 
Arabian  Christian  heralds  are  the  only 
messengers  of  Christ  who  can  ever  ade- 
(luately  convey  the  tidings  of  salvation 
to  the  hundreds  of  millions  In  the 
countries   which    they    represent. 

•This  mi.ssionary  century  is  nearly 
„'<me.  and  paths  long  shut  against  all 
entrance  have  been  freed  from  every 
obstacle.  Great  numl>ers  stand,  as  we 
all  know,  only  waiting  to  be  sent.  The 
fields  are  white,  the  harvest  is  waiting 
the  reapers  are  ready.  What  hinders".' 
The  hour  has  struck,  but  the  church  Is 
not  on  time." 

After  the  singing  of  the  hymn.  "P'aith 
Is  the  Victory."  and  a  song  by  the  Iowa 
■  luartet.  Right  Rev.  M.  E.  Baldwin, 
bi.shoo  of  Huron,  spoke.  The  bishop 
held  the  closest  attention  of  the  audi- 
ence throughout  his  address.  The  sub 
ject  was  the  spiritual  preparation  of 
the  "Volunteer."  He  said  that  he  re- 
joiced to  be  connected  with  the  volun- 
teer movement  because  he  was  a.ssured 
God  was  leading  it.  He  urged  the  stu- 
dents to  consecrate  their  lives  to  the 
movement.  In  order  that  the  object 
.sought  might  be  .secured— the  bringing 
of  the  entire  world  to  Christ.  He  ad- 
vised the  students  who  were  pn'paring 
themselves  to  be  missionaries  to  know 
:ind  be  sure  of  what  they  were  to  preach 
in  heathen  lands.  The  bl.shop  conrlud-

Minnesota's  Senators   at   Outs   Re- 
garding  Two  Offices. 

Washingt<jn,  Fei*.  24.— (Special  to  The 
Herald.)— Senators  Davis  and  Nelson 
are  just  now  having  a  mighty  hard 
time  In  trying  to  decide  upon  men  for 
two  big  Minnesota  offices.  One  is  that 
of  United  States  district  attorney  and 
the  other  the  collector  of  internal  re*- 
enue.  As  the  time  of  the  Democratic 
incumbents  of  these  two  places  ex- 
pires in  April,  Davis  and  Nelson  will 
soon  have  to  reach  an  agreement. 

They  had  decided  upon  Halvor 
.<ieenerson,  of  Crookston.  for  district 
attorney  some  time  agrt.  but  have 
since  divided  because  they  could  not 
agree  upon  a  man  for  collector  of  In- 
ternal revenue.  Unless  Nelson's 
choice  receives  Davis'  support.  the 
former  may  refuse  to  stand  by  his  for- 
mer   agreement    to    back    Steenerson. 

It  is  claimed  here  today  that  they 
may  get  into  a  big  wrangle  over  these 
tv.i)  offices,  and.  In  this  case.  Nelson 
may  not  stand  by  Davis  for  re-elec- 
tion. The  friends  of  both.  how»^ver.

way    be   averted.

WHIPS  THE  SPANISH 


Rodriguez  Wins  Out  In  Severe 

right  and  Kills  Spanish 

Commander. 


Havana.  Feb.  24.— At  an  important 
nieelioK  **f  tln>  central  (.ammlttee  of 
autonomists  Sonor  Govin.  seoretary  of 
ih»'  inlerior,  proposed  an'amen'hnent  in- 
crea^ingr  the  eommittee  from  forty  to 
itfty-flve.  The  fifteen  new  members 
will  be  taken  from  emigrants  to  the 
Ir.itea  States  and  insurgents  of  pr  >m- 
iii'^ncv.  who  ajrree  to  supinirt  autonomy. 
The  aniemlment  was  adopted  by  a  larire 
majority,  tifteen  among  Avhom  were  re- 
fo^mi^•ts. 

It  is  reg'arded  as  surprisin.yr  that  a 
Spanish  resident  supported  the  plan. 
The  eommittee  al.-o  nominated  dele- 
gates for  the  elei-lion  next  montii.  It 
is  l>elieved  that  the  Radicals  will  earry 
the  eleeti  >n  and  demand  a  more  liberal 
eonstitution.  The  meetins;  is  regarded 
as  the  first  politieal  battle  of  the  cam- 
paign, and  the  results  are  highly  im- 
IH->rtant,  because  if  the  insurgents  de- 
iline  the  extended  hands  if  the  autono- 
mists in  a  constitution  stxuring  prac- 
tical independence,  autonomy  will  fail 
in  the  eyes  of  the  world,  and  nothing 
v.ill  remain  except  the  Spanish  flag  and 
what  it  implies. 

The  query  is  then  what  will  Spain  do 
next? 

Gen.  Pando.  after  leaving  Havana, 
spent  several  days  at  Puerto  Del  Padrj. 
province  of  Santiago  De  Cuba.  He  sent 
emissaries  to  the  insurgent  leader  Ca- 
pote to  negotiate  a  surrender,  Pando 
having  $70.0)0  for  the  purpose.  It  is 
claimed  that  he  has  not  been  able  to 
find  Capote,  and  that  consequently  he 
w.nt  on  to  the  city  of  Santiag.i  De 
Cuba,  Manzanillo.  and  thence  to  Santa 
Ciuz.  where  he  arrived  last  Saturday. 
On  Sunday  morning,  wUh  a  battalion 
of  fre?h  soldiers,  he  took  the  steamer 
for  Manzanillo  to  commence  operations 
in  the  field. 

The  Infanta  battaliin.  under  Maj. 
r^dro  Rivas,  left  Canielaria.  province 
of  Pinar  Del  Kio.  on  Monday  1 1  re.on- 
UL.iter  the  Mulo  heights.  No  insurgents 
were  found  until  the  troops  reached  the 
hfights.  when  suddenly  they  were  at- 
rarktd  by  n.  large  force  under  Gen. 
^!:lria  Rodriguez  and  Leader  Perico 
I'iaz  and  surnundcd.  A  h->t  fight  en- 
.~ued.  Maj.  Kivas  was  killed  by  shots 
in  th'^  mouth  and  heart.  The  Spanish 
column  effected  a  retreat  after  consider- 
able loss.  Its  casualties,  in  addition  to 
the  loss  of  Maj.  Rivas,  wore  three  ofR- 
oers  and  forty-five  men  wounded.  It 
is  believed  there  wt-re  nthers  killed.  The 
insurgent  lo?s  is  n:)t  yet  known,  but 
was  probably  small. 

Capt.  Sigsbee's  private  letters  have 
been  recovered.  His  gold  medal  and  the 
diplomatic  order  of  the  Red  Eagle 
given  him  by  Emneror  "William  II  of 
Germany  for  his  inventions  of  deep  sea 
apparatus  have  not  been  found.  But 
many  other  relics  have  been  recovered 
from  the  captain's  cabin,  which,  being 
in  the  part  of  the  ship  nit  blown  up, 
the  divers  are  able  to  explore  effectu- 
ally.  It  is  hoped  that  the  three  pieces 
of  silver  given  to  the  ship  by  the  state 
of  Maine  will  be  recovered  soon. 

As  an  illustration  of  the  want  prevail- 
ing in  the  immediate  suburbs  of  Havana 
it  is  said  1.300  patients  have  died  in  the 
asylums  of  privation  and  insanity. 


AGAINST  CANADIAN  PACIFIC. 


Series  of  Resolutions  to  Be  Sent  to 
Congress. 

Portland.  Ore.,  Feb.  24.— The  Portland 
chamber  of  commerce  passed  a  series  of 
resolutions  urging  congress  to  withdraw 
the  bonJing  privilege  from  the  Canadian 
Pacific  railway.  The  resolutions  state 
that  by  reason  of  its  freedom  from  the 
icstrainls  of  the  interstate  commerce 
law  cf  the  I'nited  States  the  Canadian 
Pacific  has  an  advantage  over  the  Amer- 
ii^an  roads,  which  enables  it  to  deprive 
them  of  a  large  part  of  the  carrjing 
trade  of  this  country. 

The  resolutions  further  declare  that 
the  Canadian  Pacific  is  making  use  of 
advantages  enjoyed  by  it  to  aid  Canada 
as  against  the  I'nited  States,  and  that 
groat  damage  is  now  biing  done  to  the 
<  immercial  interest.s  of  the  country, 
•  spf;cially  to  those  of  the  Pacific  coast 
states.  The  rrs^^dutions  conclude  as  fol- 
lows: "Wv  ask  you  without  delay  to 
pass  a  law  which  shall  lake  away  and 
ib'privb  th>.-  Canadian  Pacific  railroad, 
and  ail  foreign  railway  and  transixata- 
ti'/n  lines  of  all  rights  to  iransii  irl  goods 
or  passensers  from  any  one  part  of  the 
T'nil'd  States  to  any  r>ther,  or  any  nth'  r 
or  further  terms  of  re-entry  into  the 
I'nitrd  States  other  than  those  which 
txist  and  are  applicable  to  passtngers; 
and  goods  coming  into  t'n-  Uniti  d  States 
from  a  foreign  countiy." 

A  copy  of  tht  resoluti'ms  was  s»;nL.  to 
the  chambers  of  commerce  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, Los  Angeles,  Scattb'.  Tacoma, 
tJpokanc,  Salt  Lal'e  and  Denvr r.  all  with 
the  r.quet-t  that  th*: y  take  similar  action. 


INFAIR  DLCISION.

R'  feree  McArthur  declared  the  fight  a

popular. McArthur  was  obliged  to  stay 
in  the  ring,  guarded  by  the  police,  until 
the  gymnasium  was  partly  cleared,  so

A  LITTLE  LIGHT. 

Every  touur  wo-

joct  of  health.  There 
IS  tar  too  much  ncw-V 
fa>*hioncd  juudcry 
atuii:*.,;  mothers, 
ery  yinmg  woman 
should  have  ex- 
pl.iined  to  her  the 
supreme  neces- 
.siiv  of  keeping  \ 
herself  pure  and 
wholesome  and 
free  from  weak- 
ness and  disease 
in  a  wom.inly  w.vy. 
Her  general  health,  lur  future  happiness, 
her  good  looks,  her  physical  streugth.  her 
capability  as  a  wife  .ind  mother,  and  the 
health  atid  strength  of  generations  to  come 
are  dependent  upon  this. 

XothiiiK  in  the  world  will  destroy  the 
good  looks,  w.'iolesomeness,  the  amiability, 
and  the  usefulness  of  a  wotnan  quicker 
thin  disorders  of  the  delicate  .uid  important 
organ*  that  bear  the  burdens  of  maternity. 
Dr.  Pierce's  Favorite  Prescription  is  the 
best  of  all  medicines  for  women  who  are 
ailing  in  this  way.  It  makes  a  votnan 
strong  and  healthy  where  a  woman  most 
needs  health  and  strength.  It  relieves 
pain,  soothes  :nflanimatio!i,  heals  ulcera- 
tion and  gives  rest  and  tone  to  the  tortured 
nerves.  It  cures  all  the  ills  and  pains  too 
commonly  considered  an  uncomfortable  in- 
heritance of  womankind.  It  has  been  used 
for  over  thirty  years  with  an  imbroken 
record  of  success.  More  of  it  has  been  sold 
than  of  all  the  other  medicines  for  women 
combined.  It  is  the  discovery  of  Dr.  R.  V, 
Pierce,  for  thirty  years  chief  consultiug 
physician  to  the  Invalids'  Hotel  and  Sur- 
gical Institute,  at  Bufialo.  N.  Y.  He  will 
cheerfully  answer,  without  charge,  all  let- 
ters from  ailiag  \f  omen.

GATLING'S  BIG  GIN. 


Vlay    Be    Ready    In   About   a    Fort- 
night. 

Cleveland,  Ohio,  Feb.  24.— Dr.  R.  J. 
Gatling.  the  inventor  of  the  famous 
gun  which  bears  his  name,  has  just 
arrived  in  Cleveland  to  conduct  the  fin- 
ishing touches  to  the  big  gun  being  con- 
structed   for    the    government    here. 

In  an  interview  Dr.  tlatiing  says: 
'"Yes.  I  siiall  make  eveiT  endeavor  to 
hasten  the  work  upon  the  gun,  in  view 
of  the  present  situation.  Although 
nothing  has  been  .said  to  me  by  the 
government  upon  the  subject,  I  know 
the  feeling  and  efforts  that  are  every- 
where being  made  to  hasten  prepara- 
tions. The  big  gun  may  perhaps  be 
read^-  to  be  sent  East  in  a  week,  and  if 
the  lathes  are  not  too  busy  at  Washing- 
ton, which  I  rather  fear  is  the  case, 
it  may  be  rafted  in  about  a  fortnight  " 

•"The  tests  of  tensile  strength  of  the 
special  steel  u.sed  for  the  gun  is  very 
high,  being  108,000  points  to  the  .square 
inch.  The  steel  of  the  built-up  guns 
runs  about  90,000  pounds. 

•"The  readiness  of  this  country  for 
enr'.ersencies.  I  am  sorry  to  say  is  not 
what"  it  should  be.  Congress  should 
years  ago  have  begun  to  do  what  the 
government  is  trying  to  do.  ^Vith  the 
recent  guns  we  have  at  harl)ors  and 
by  blocking  the  channels  with  sunk- 
en ships,  we  might  protect  the  coast. 
If  we  should  try  with  all  our  might,  it 
would  take  fully  twelve  months  to  get 
into  desirable  shape  on  the  coast." 

Gen.  Miles,  the  head  of  the  I'nited 
States  army  and  other  members  of  the 
bureau  of  ordnance,  will  be  in  Cleveland 
in  a  few  days,  probably  next  week,  to 
see  the  final  work  on  the  new  type  of 
big  coast  defense  guns. 

IS  IT  Cl'RABLE? 


A  Question   Often   Asked   By   Those 
Afflicted  With  Piles. 

Is  a  strained  joint  curable?  Is  local 
inilammation  curable?  Of  course,  if 
proptrtiy  treatetl.     So  is  i)iles. 

People  often  become  afflicted  with 
piles  and  ask  some  old  "chronic"  who 
has  always  persisted  in  the  wrong  treat- 
nient  and  naturally  ha.s  discourageil 
them  by  telling  them  that  their  case  is 
hopeless. 

They  in  turn  discourage  others,  and 
thus  a  disease  that  can  in  every  case  be 
cured  by  a  careful  and  skillful  handling 
is  allowed  to  sap  the  energy  of  thou- 
sands who  might  free  themselvtr,  of  tti. 
trouble  in  a  few  days. 

Pyramid  Pile  Cure  will  cure  the  most 
aggravated  case  of  hemorrhoids  in  an 
astonishingly  .short  time.  It  relieves  the 
(•ingested  parts,  reduces  the  tumors  in- 
stantly, no  matter  how  large,  alla.vs  the 
inflammation  and  stops  the  aching  or 
itching  at  once. 

Thou.sands  who  had  resorted  to  ex- 
pensive surgical  treatment  have  been 
cured  by  the  Pyramid  Pile  Cure — in  a 
number  of  instances  persons  who  had 
.wjjent  months  in  a  hospital  under  a  pile 
specialist. 

It  is  a  remed.v  that  none  need  fear  to 
apply,  even  to  the  m  )St  aggravated, 
swollen  and  inflamed  hemorrhoidal 
tumors. 

If  you  are  afflicted  with  this  stubborn 
disease  you  can  master  it,  .and  master  it 
quickly. 

This  remedy  is  no  longer  an  experi- 
ment, but  a  medical  certainty.  It  is 
manufactured  by  the  Pyramid  Drug 
company,  of  Marshall,  Mich. 

Druggists  sell  it  at  50  cents  per  box. 
It  is  becoming  the  most  popular  pile 
cure  this  country  ha.s  ever  known,  and 
druggists  everywhenr  are  ordering  it 
for  ih<ir  costumcrs  .

SERIOUS 
QUESTIONS 

Asked  of  the  President  and 

Answered  By  Him  With 

Utmost  Frankness. 


BE  READY  TO  ASSIST 


Congress  Should   Not  Make 

Too  Many  Inquiries  About 

Current  Events. 


Chicago,  l-'eb.  24.— The  Tribune  today 
has  the  folKiwing  from  Washington: 

"I  do  not  pro|H)se  to  do  anything  at  all 
to  piecii)ilale  war  with  Spain.  Cj)  to 
the  present  I  do  not  think  war  is  neces- 
sary or  inevitable.  I  would  be  lax  In 
my  duty,  however,  if  I  did  not  prepare 
for  the  future.  The  situation  is  grave, 
and  the  policy  o£  Iho  administration 
will  be  determined  almost  entirely  by 
the  course  of  evimts  from  time  to  time. 
Tiiere  is  no  necessity  of  alarming  the 
.people,  but  congress  must  Ije  n>ady  to 
asi»ist  the  administration  without  mak- 
'n.g  too  many  inquiries  as  to  the  course 
of  current  events." 

Tj  a  senator  who  callei^l  up  >n  him 
yt^tei\lay  In  order  to  ask  him  serious 
v;uestions  as  to  the  polic>-  of  the  ail- 
ministration  Pre.sident  McKinley,  with 
the  utmost  frankness,  uttered  the 
above   words. 

There  is  no  <loubt  of  the  fact  that  the 
government  of  the  I'nited  States  is 
actually  preparing  for  war  with  Spain. 
It  does  not  follow  that  war  will  come, 
but  the  activity  in  both  the  war  and 
navy  departments  is  too  unmistakable 
to  be  concealed. 

The  president  and  his  cabinet  unite  in 
the  belief  still,  in  spite  of  all  the  evi- 
dence to  the  contrary,  thai  the  explosion 
of  the  Maine  was  the  result  of  an  unfor- 
tunate accident,  but  they  recognize  the 
fact  that  the  contrary  may  prne  true 
at  almost  any  hour,  and  that  if  it  Is 
shown  even  inferentially  that  Spain  had 
a  hand  in  the  catastrophe  there  will  be 
but  one  thing  to  do.  and  that  will  be  to 
seize  the  island  of  Cuba  by  force  of 
arms.  At  no  time  since  the  war  of  the 
lebellion  has  the  military  branch  of  the 
.government  been  so  active  as  it  is  to- 
day. 

it  is  a  significant  fact  that  within  the 
last  two  days  there  has  been  a  remark- 
able change  in  opinion  in  the  navy  de- 
partment in  regard  to  the  explosion  of 
the  Maine.  When  the  first  news  ar- 
rived here  last  week,  experts  at  the  de- 
partment Avere  nearly  evenl.v  divided 
as  lietween  an  accident  and  design,  but 
today,  after  studying  the  later  reports 
and  espeiially  the  i)hotograph,s  sent 
from  Havana,  nine  out  of  ten  of  the 
ofiicers  at  the  department  exprc.as  the 
bilief  that  the  Maine  was  anchored 
over  a  submarine  mine. 

The  only  difference  of  opinion  seems 
to  be  as  to  whether  that  mine  was  ex-. 
pUxled  by  Spanish  ofTiceis  acting  under 
orders  or  by  some  enthusiast.  The 
latter  opinnn  is  generally  held,  but  it 
is  said  that  this  does  not  lessen  in  any 
great  degree  the  responsibility  of  Spain 
for  the  horrible  catastror)he. 

If  the  Snanish  officers  allowed  the 
uarship  to  be  moored  to  a  buoy  which 
was  attached  to  a  submarine  mine, 
they  thereby  became  responsible  for  the 
result,  whether  the  mine  was  exploded

Wheat  Weak  0>\lng  to  the   Break  In 
Stocks. 

rhkaxo.  Ftb.  24.— Whrat  today  opene<l 
lowv>r  In  all  dep;irtments.  May  startins  at 
$l.'M"4'ffl.<':'>.  compiired  with  yesierdays 
elo«i.ig  priee  of  JI.in;.  July  started  at  from

prices  dropped  quiekiy.  May  to  Jl.iMi's  and 
July  to  ftosgo.  English  markets  were  w  ak 
and  lower,  I^iverpool  showing  %d  diclino. 
The  Weakness  was  ehierty  caused  by  the 
t>.id  break  in  the  Nfcw  York  stoek  mar- 
ket over  iiiereasins  war  i>ossibililit>. 
which  drmoralized  the  Indls  more  or  I'-ss

an<l  la  July  to  SO-'StC  the  market  reacted 
aprain  slightly,  but  slower  than  bn'orti. 
and  for  some  time  the  marktt  tkHtuatd

a  ad"  a  br^  ak  of  considerably  greater  pro- 
|M.rtii>ns  than  the  o|>e.iing  was  ri  gisten  d 
by  l:;  oelock.  The  crowd  was.  as  it  has 
l»'en  for  some  time,  in  favor  of  luwi  r 
jeiees  and  whenever  the  greatest  holder 
i.f  long  wheat  <•  ase.s  to  give  the  market 
supi'rt.  the  pressure  of  their  opini<»n  in 
thi-  shap»'  of  short  selling  soon  becomes 
felt  a.s  it  did  today.  Inst  ad  of  being  a 
huver.  however,  the  general  impressio.T 
was  that,  over  $1.05  for  May  and  Wj 
f>ir  Julv.  Leiter  was  a  free  seller.  Whci 
mav  got  l>eIow  $\Ai  and  July  Wtc  he  be- 
eame  a  buver  again.  AbdUt  an  hour  froea 
the  close,  it  was  down  to  Jl.^j:!'^.  July, 
fnnn  MUc  near  the  commencement,  got 
down   to  .SJ>%e. 

Corn  and  oats  were  fairly  active  and 
weak.  The  market  sympathized  with  the 
br.^.•lk  in  wheat.  There  was  considerable 
selling  of  long  stuff  in  both  pits.  May 
corn  opened  Vsc  lower  at  :!'Ji2C.  sold  at  :i0'2 
f't'^c  a. id  declined  to  ?*)h^'ii%c.  Receipts 
were  liberal  at  fi2.j  car.*^. 

Mav  oats  opened  «^fi>ic  lower  at  263-4 
'.iVancl  declined  to  26»4f*%e.  Receipts 
were  S4j  cars. 

Provisions  were  rather  slow.  A  weak 
hog  market  and  the  general  break  in 
grain  starteil  prices  lower.  The  decline 
in  pork,  which  showed  the  most  weak- 
ness, brought  out  some  stop  loss  orders 
but  selling  was  not  heavy  and  the  mar- 
ket vas  fairly  well  supported  later,  good 
reactions  resulting.  May  |K)rk  open  d

GOSSIP. 

Received  over  private  wire  of  B.  E.  Baker, 
grain  and  stock  broker,  room  107  Ch.im- 
ber  of  Commerce  and  .Jo7  Board  of  Trail-. 
Chicago,  Feb.  24.  —  A  torpedo, 
accidental  explosion,  which  ever  it  was. 
scared  the  American  speculator  and 
has  U'd  to  free  selling  and  a  decline  all 
over  the  floor,  and  this  influence  is  nf)t 
yet  removed  and  in  our  ji  dgment  U 
behooves  every  operator  to  act  with 
caution  and  not  take  a  very  decided 
.stand  at  present.  Wheat  opened  lower, 
but  on  free  buying  by  shorts  early,  the 
njarket  rallied  a  trille,  but  again  Ije- 
canie  weak  and  declined  steadily  to 
S9^sc  for  July.  Near  the  clo.se  th" 
holders  of  puts  were  good  buyers,  Avhich 
carried  July  to  90c.  The  clii|U"e  today 
bought  at  least  .'lOO.OOO  bus  of  July  at 
90c  and  bought  as  much  tnoie  'in  puis. 
Should  the  diiiue  g'»l  into  July  wheal 
on  a  large  scale,  we  think  it  would  be 
a  big  sale  as  July  wheat  means  a  new 
crop.  May  closes  lower  owing  to  a  few 
scattered  long  sellers.  The  clique  did 
not  do  anything  in  May  wheat.  It  is 
our  opinion  tonight  that  if  we  get  a 
bulge  on  July  wheat  it  is  a  sale. 

The  corn  market,  wii!cn  j  few  Jay.-i 
a.go  had  the  help  of  the  strongest  peopl-\ 
has  been  abandoned,  and  the  holdin.gH 
now  are  of  a  much  more  scattered  char- 
acter. This  may  lead  to  general  selling. 
If  the  market  shows  further  weakness, 
we  believe  too  much  in  the  eventful 
value  of  c(jrn  to  advise  selling  it  short. 

Oats  have  declined  somewhat.  The 
actual  situation  se.  nis  fairly  strong,  but 
we  think  oats  are  high  enough  anyway, 
and  have  for  some  time. 

Prn\  isi ans  are  weaker,  and  show  some 
decline  fur  the  day.  Theie  has  been  a 
jiause  in  speculation.  Ouitsi(!e  l)uyer.s  arc- 
not  plenty.  Tl\e  demand  for  cash  pro- 
visions has  been  up  to  now  the  best  ever 
known.

Decidedly  Nervous   Owing   to   Amer- 
ican-Spanish Difficulties. 

New  York.  Feb.  24.— Conditions  were 
decide<lly  ni'ivous  on  the  stock  exchange 
tills  morning  owing  to  the  pessimistic 
\  lew  uf  ^he  Spanit4h-Amerlcan  situation 

taken  by  brokers.  Everybody  wanted 
to  sell  stocks,  and  apparently  there  were 
i;o  buyers,  or  if  there  were  they  could 
not  ijiake  themselves  heard  in  the 
l>andeinonium  on  the  floor.  The  excite- 
ment was  not  confined  to  any  one  .sec- 
tion, but  every  center  on  the  floor  had 
its  knot  of  brokers  waiting  before  the 
openingr  to  make  a  rush  to  sell. 

.\t  the  drop  of  the  gavel  each  knot 
was  a  struggling  tangle,  and  loose  ends 
of  arms  was  all  that  was  visible  above 
the  mass.  There  was  not  as  much  noise 
as  is  the  ciise  wlien  horse  play  is  in 
tirder.  The  nervous  strain  was  visible 
in  the  expressions  on  the  Ijrokers'  faces, 
and  the  air  of  self-repressii»n  quickly 
g.'ive  w.ay  to  unconcealed  excitement. 

Offerings  at  the  openin.g  of  every 
prominent  stock  were  of  several  thou- 
sand shares,  and  (luotations  were  almost 
lost  sight  of.  Running  sales  at  the 
ojiening  ranged  over  nearly  6  points  in 
Mtmhaltiin.  sales  being  made  all  the 
way  fiom  10re%  d  )wn  to  jiar.  Burling- 
ton dropped  nearly  5  points  and  ileclines 
of  over  2  points  on  opening  sales  were 
the  rule.  The  swiftness  of  the  decline 
gave  assurance  that  the  bottom  would 
soon  be  reached,  and  the  1ii-sl  half  htiur 
saw  prices  steadying  and  rebounding. 
The  recavery  in  Khod«'  Island  was  4 
points,  .Metropolitan  Street  Railway  7 
and  the  general  list  from  1  to  ^%.  The 
market  was  exceedin.gly  feverish  with 
the  rise,  and  before  an  hour  prices  wer»' 
declining.  The  amount  of  business 
showed  an  increase,  as  the  morning 
progressed  the  first  acute  fall  apparent- 
ly paralyzing  the  faculties  of  traders. 
Torrents  of  afferings  of  stocks  at  almost 
any  price  grew  in  volume  after  the 
opening. 

The  activity  of  the  market  showed 
nn  astonishing  decrease  after  the  con- 
gestion of  selling  oiHlers  at  the  opening 
liad  been  worked  off.  The  first  sign  of 
recovery  o-f  1  ti  4  points  was  partly  lost 
and  then  prices  began  to  work  slowly 
back  to  .a  higher  place.  Commission 
houses  report  selling  orders  received 
from  widely  distributed  points  through- 
out the  country,  indicating  a  liquidation 
of  long  holdings  of  securities.  (Jovern- 
ment  bonds  fell  %  to  1  per  cent;  the 
latter  in  coupon  4s  both  of  1907  and  192.">. 
Tiiere  have  been  large  purchases  here 
for  London  account  during  the  morning, 
the  rapid  decline  makin.g  opera  tiimj 
profitable.  Sales  to  noon.  .196.7fi0  shares. 
Railway  bonds  shared  in  the  weakness 
and  fell  1  point.

BOUND  FOR 

THE 

COA 

Large  Numbers  of  Passengers  Are 
Leaving  Daily. 

Thirty-six  pa.ssengers  bound  for  the 
i^icific  i-uast  left  the  Fnion  depot  this 
afternoon  on  otie  train.  The  majority 
of  them  tilled  tt.  li)urist  sleeping  car  and 
their  ultimate  destination  is  the  Klon- 
dike. Among  other  passengers  wen- 
Sa.Tiuel  I'otherniel  .and  Warren  Metideii- 
hall,  who  are  going  to  the  (^»ast  on  busi- 
ness. Inquiries  at  the  different  rail- 
road oHices  for  tiikets  to  Seattle  ami 
Alaska  points  are  increasing  and  the 
indications  are  the  rush  has  not  yet 
reached  its  maximum  volume.  Many 
intendirig  7)a.ssengers  appear  to  believe 
that  the  present  Jf)w  rates  are  being 
surreptitiously  <''Ut.  but  there  seems  to 
be  little  foundation  for  it.  all  of  th" 
comiieting  lines  cltiiming  that  not  .i 
cent  less  than  $20  is  lieing  accepted  for 
second  da.ss  tickets  to  Seattle.  It  is 
altogether  i)robable  that  rates  will  ad- 
vance   before    they    are    reduced    again.

GCILTY  OK  NOT  GlILTV. 

While  the  naval  board  of  inquiry  is 
investigating  the  disaster  to  the  battle- 
ship Maine  and  trying  to  discover 
whetlter  the  explosion  which  wrecked 
the  vessel  was  due  to  an  inside  or  out- 
side cause,  it  is  well  that  judgment 
should  be  suspended  by  the  American 
people.  At  the  same  time  it  is  interest- 
ing to  look  at  the  facts  already  ascer- 
tained, which  throw  some  light  upon  the 
subject.  The  accounts  told  by  the 
survivors  of  the  disaster  and  other  cir- 
cumstances lead  to  the  conclusion  that 
i:  was  not  an  accident.  There  is  noth- 
ing in  the  evidence  so  far  discovered. 
however,  to  show  whether  the  deed  was 
the  result  of  a  Spanish  plot  or  was  the 
work  of  Spanish  fanatics.  The  Kansas 
C^ty  World  summiarizes  the  following 
admitted  facts: 

That  the  most  extreme  caution  is  ex- 
ercised on  board  a  battleship,  with  ref- 
erence to  the  care  of  the  magazine. 

The  captain  alone  holds  the  keys  to 
th^  compartments  in  which  the  explo- 
sives are  stored.  Xo  one  can  enter  these 
compartments  without  his  permission 
and  without  his  surrender  of  the  keys. 
Those  who  do  enter  must  wear  rubber 
shoes.  They  are  attired  in  what  is  called 
the  "magazine  dress." 

No  open  lights  are  allowed  in  the.^e 
compartments. 

Insi>ection  of  the  ship's  magazies  is 
made  every  evening  at  6  o'clock.  The 
magazines  of  the  Maine  were  inspecteJ 
and  found  all  right  about  two  hours 
before  the  explosion. 

The  harbor  of  Havana  is  said  to  be 
undermined  with  torpedoes. 

(a)—  It  is  .«aid  to  be  blocked  off  InXy 
50-foot  squares,  a  drawing  thereof  being 
in  the  desk  of  the  captain  general  in 
Havana. 

'k>)— These  .squares  are  said  to  be  num- 
bered, and  the  corresponding  electric 
buttons.  I)  press  one  of  which  means  an 
explosion,  are  alleged  to  be  in  the  office 
of  this  captain  general. 

The  harb<irmaster  of  Havana  (known 
to  be  a  fanatical  Spaniard),  indicated 
the  exact  place  at  which  the  Maine  must 
cast  her  anchor. 

(a) — He  of  all  nun  knew  the  location 
of  the  torpedoes. 

rb)— He  als.)  had  access  to  the  depos- 
itorj"  of  the  electric  buttons. 

The  Cuban  junta  in  New  York  (that 
same  junta  that  found  and  hande'd  to 
President  McKinley  the  original  Ix- 
Lome  letter)  publicly  and  notoriously 
declared  ten  days  ago  that  there  was  a 
plot  being  hatched  to  blow  up  the  Maine 
in  Havana  harbor.  The  Spaniards  in 
Havana  thoroughly  hate  Americans.  In 
fact,  the  conservatives  in  the  Cuban  cap- 
ital are  aflflicted  with  that  which  may 
be  termed  "Yankeephobia."  These  Dons 
are  now  rejoicing  at  the  horror.  Their 
protestations  of  sympathy  are  a  lie.  The 
flisaster,  coming  upcm  the  heels  of  the 
De  Lfjme  incident,  when  the  feelings  of 
l)Oth  peoples  were  excited  to  the  highest 
tension.  Is  strikingly  significant.  On 
the  wharves  of  Havana  open  threats 
were  made  by  the  Spanish  rabbh; — and 
in  the  hearing  of  Capt.  Sigsbee  and  his 
officers— that  the  Maine  would  be  blown 
up. 

In  the  language  of  the  lawyers,  says 


the  World,  the  above  may  not  constltiito 
"a  preponderance  of  proof,"  but  It  Is  un- 
deniably  a  series  of  particularizationi 
which  Justltlt^  the  i)reaumption  that 
Spain  is  guilty  or  accessory  before  the 
fact.  If  the  examination  of  the  Maine 
by  the  divers  shows  absolutely  that  the 
explosive  force  came  from  the  outsid-. 
there  can  be  no  doubt  as  to  the  duty  of 
fhe  American  government.  It  is  non- 
sense to  dalMj  that  thi>  boat  could  be 
blown  up  by  a  torpedo  without  tlu- 
knowledge  of  some  SpanUsh  ofTlcials. 


DULUTM     UKAI.     KNTATK. 

Charles  A.  Nash,  of  New  York,  who  is 
the  owner  of  i-onslderable  property  in 
and  around  Duluth,  writes  to  a  membur 
uf  The  Herald  staff  as  follows: 

"l  am  greatly  obliged  to  you  for  send- 
ing me  the  copy  of  the  Tribune's  de- 
linquent list.  It  Is  a  discouraging  but 
faithful  iiicture  of  the  paijt— only — but 
it  does  not  seem  io  me  to  Indicate  any- 
thing at  all  as  to  the  future,  except  that 
if  any  one  will  put  his  last  dollar  into 
any  of  this  property  which  is  now  bein,!;; 
thrown  away  in  a  fright,  he  will  very 
soon  receive  a  very  rich  reward  for  It. 
I  have  carried  mine  twenty-seven  years, 
and  in  1887.  early  in  the  year,  was 
otYeivd  $25  per  acre  for  forty  acres,  but 
within  six  months  was  offered  •■$5tH)  t  > 
%M<i  per  acre"  for  the  same  property. 
Now  that  forty  acres  is  said  to  be  worth 
only  $100  per  acre.  That  only  means 
that  no  one  has  made  enough  money  to 
pay  moi-f  than  that  for  it,  but  does  any- 
one sell  such  property  for  $100?  1  think 
not." 

This  is  in  line  with  the  sentiments  ex- 
pressetl  by  The  Herald  on  several  occa- 
sions during  the  past  few  months.  There 
is  no  better  investment  to  be  found  in 
the  country  today  than  Duluth  real 
estate.  Its  purchase  at  the  prices  now 
asked  by  the  comparatively  few  who  are 
desirous  of  selling  at  existing  values  will 
^ield  rich  returns.  The  future  contains 
promise  of  so  much  in  store  for  Duluth 
that  it  is  a  certainty  that  pro^K'rty  here 
will  increase  in  value  during  the  next 
decade  to  a  point  unparalleled  in  the 
city's  history. 

ZOL.^'S  CONVICTION. 

The  expected  has  happened.  Emile 
Zola  has  been  convicted  by  the  court 
at  Paris  of  having  made  false  accusa- 
tions against  the  Esterhazy  court-mar- 
tial, which  grew  out  of  the  Dreyfus 
case,  and  has  been  sentenced  to  one 
year's  imprisonment  and  to  pay  a  fine 
of  3000  francs.  The  fine  will  not  be  a 
serious  matter  to  the  great  novelist 
who  has  grown  wealthy  by  his  writings 
and  could  easily  pay  a  much  heavier 
fine  without  suffering  any  inconven- 
ience. The  year's  imprisonment  provid- 
ed by  the  sentence  is  a  different  matter. 
He  will  doubtless  find  the  confinement 
very  tiresome  and  will  soon  yearn  for 
the  freedom  from  restraint— provided 
he  goes  to  prison,  because  there  is  still 
a  chance  that  the  higher  court  may  re- 
verse the  sentence.  It  is  his  intention 
to  appeal  from  the  assizes  court  to  the 
court  of  cessation,  the  highest  court  in 
France.  This  tribunal  is  not  influenced 
by  the  mob  and  justice  may  be  obtained 
there.  The  trial  was  a  continuous 
farce,  viewed  from  an  American  or 
English  standpoint,  the  defendant  not 
being  allowed  to  prove  his  case  or  ques- 
tion the  witnesses. 

If  Zola  goes  to  prison  for  a  year  he 
will  be  regarded  as  a  martyr  to  the 
cause  of  truth.  Almost  the  last  words 
he  uttered  before  the  jury  gave  its  de- 
cision was  a  declaration  that  Capt. 
Dreyfus  is  innocent  and  was  unjustly 
convicted.  It  required  courage  to  make 
this  statement  in  a  court  room  filled 
with  a  yelling  mob  of  fanatical  enemies. 
The  conviction  of  Zola  does  not  end 
the  Dreyfus  case.  A  sentiment  has  been 
aroused  in  favor  of  a  reopening  of  the 
case  and  it  will  steadily  grow  stronger. 
Zola  has  made  many  converts  to  his 
views  respecting  Dreyfus,  and  their 
numbers  will  increase  until  the  govern- 
ment will  be  forced  to  yield  and  do 
justice  to  the  officer  who  is  an  exile  on 
Devil's   island. 


THE  NKXT  CONGRESS. 

The  Denver  News  .says  that  move- 
ments among  the  leaders  at  Washing- 
ton indicate  that  complete  unity  will 
prevail  among  the  silver  forces  in  the 
coming  congressional  elections.  The 
Republicans  practically  admit  that 
they  will  have  control  of  the  house, 
and  the  allied  silver  men  are  already 
claiming  a  majority  of  sixty.  It  will 
not  be  safe,  however,  to  display  too 
much  overconfidence.  No  matter  how 
certain  the  silver  leaders  may  be  of  suc- 
cess no  effort  should  be  relaxed  until 
the  votes  are  counted  in  November. 

But  the  News  argues  that  in  directing 
attention  to  the  hou.se,  the  senate  be 
not  lost  sight  of.  The  upper  house  of 
congress  is  certain  to  be  very  close,  and 
on  the  result  of  the  legislative  elections 
in  three  or  four  different  states  may 
hinge  the  majority  in  that  body.  To 
win  the  house  and  lo.se  the  .senate  in 
1898  would  be  a  fruitless  victory  so  far 
as  prac-iical  silver  legislation  is  con- 
cerned. If  the  senalt!  is  retained  and 
the  house  won,  a  very  decisive  victory 
will  have  been  achieved  for  bimetallisai. 
Such  a  victory  would  as.suro  tht;  »'lec- 
tion  of  a  silver  i)residcnt  in  lUOO.  11 
wftuld  render  free  coinage  the  para- 
mount issue  in  that  campaign,  and 
compel  the  Republicans  to  show  their 
full  hand  as  a  gold  standard  i)arty. 
There  could  be  no  more  skulking  be- 
hind "bimetallic"  masks,  no  more 
fooling  the  pef)ple.  The  4ssuo  would  be 
clearly  and  unmistakably,  monometal- 
lism or  bimetallism,  and  on  such  an  is- 
.sue  no  doubt  of  the  result  need  be  en- 
tertained. 

While  the  passage  of  a  free  coinage 
bill  would  be  met  by  a  presidential  veto 
such  an  act  would  further  simplify  th«> 
issue  before  the  iH'opIe.  There  an;  other 
means,  however,  the  News  Ixilleves,  by 
which  the  ellver  cause  tf>uld  he  aided 
and  advan<;ed.  By  Joint  resolution  the 
ruling  of  the  treasury  department  that 
"coin"  mfjans  gold  alone  could  b*-  over- 
turned and  that  offlcial  be  compelled 
to  pay  out  silver  In  the  redemption  of 
treasury  notes  or  the  payments  of 
bonds  the  same  as  he  now  pays  gold. 


In  brief,  all  the  administrative  and  de-  ' 
partmental    discrimination    against    sll-  j 
ver— which  has  no  warrant  of  law — can 
be  made  to  cease  on  threat  of  Impeach- 
ment, If  the  wishes  of  congress  are  not 
i-omplied    with.      This    wtiuld    be    a   sev-  ' 
vlceable  work,  and  do  much  for  sliver, 
even    If   a   free   cidnago   law    cannot    be 
enacted  until  after  a  new   president  en- 
ters the  White  Hou.se  in   1S90. 


"William  the  Calm"  was  the  api>ella- 

tioii  bestowed  ui>on  the  Hon.  Williatn 
.McKinley  by  a  Chicago  preacher  last 
Sunday.  The  major  may  be  calm,  says 
the  ChronUle,  but  from  this  dlsttmce 
his  calmness  is  of  the  character  dis- 
played by  Rev.  Ebenezer  Stlggl.ns,  when 
the  elder  Weller  propelUnl  hicn  to  the 
horse  trough  immediately  after  the 
ob.setiuies  at  the  Marquis  <>/  (Jranby 
pul>lic  house. 


The  San  Francl.s(i>  Examiner  says:  The 
Ohio  statesnmn  .seized  his  pencil  and 
wrote  furiously  for  a  few  moments. 
Then  he  rang  for  the  messenger  boy 
and  sent  the  dispatch.  It  r-ead:  "W. 
McKinley,  Washington,  D.  C— Satan 
reigns  in  Ohio  and  the  investigation 
committee  still  lives.  M.  A.  H."  Then 
he  sent  a  dispatch  to  one  H.  H.  Bolce. 
of  Canada  and  continued  to  saw   wood. 


Some  of  the  critics  of  Senator  Ma- 
son's remarks  on  naval  officers  stimding 
together  evidently  would  be  found  howl- 
ing "X  bas  Zola"  and  "Vive  I'armee." 
if  they  were  in  Paris  now.  There  has 
been  much  in  both  the  army  and  navy 
records  to  justify  all  that  Mr.  Mason 
said. 


Senator  Quay  has  demanded  that  no 
man  shall  be  appointed  to  federal  of- 
fice in  Pennsylvania  without  his  ap- 
proval. The  reque^st  will  no  doubt  be 
granted.  The  senator  does  not  propose 
that  his  Republican  opponents  in  the 
state  shall  get  any  plums,  and  this  is 
practical  politics. 

'.\11  the  administration  orgjins  are 
jumping  on  Senator  Mason,  of  Illinois, 
because  he  told  the  truth  about  the 
cowardly,  pusillanimous.  un-American 
policy  which  our  headless  state  depart- 
ment is  pursuing.  The  administration 
has  no  more  backbone  than  a  jellyfish. 


Is  John  Sherman  still  at  the  head  of 
the  state  department  or  has  he  gone 
abroad'.'  Throughout  all  this  trouble 
over  the  Maine,  he  has  not  been  heard 
from,  while  a  country  lawyer  from 
Canton  seems  to  be  trying  to  run  the 
department. 


The  Chicago  Times-Herald  calls  for 
an  inspection  of  the  Alaska  steamers. 
This  is  a  good  idea.  No  doubt  there 
are  many  boats  now  in  the  business 
which  should  be  condemned  and  others

Zola's  ambition  to  pose  as  a  martyr

to  be.

Every  niarricrl  man  knows  a  lot  about

Salt  is  cheap,  and  it  weighs.

The  Lattimer  Tragedy. 

^  Chicago  Chronicle:  As  the  trial  ©f 
Sheriff  Martin  and  his  deputies  pro- 
gresses evidence  as  to  the  wantonness 
of  the  shooting  of  the  miners  becomes 
overwhelming.  The  deputies— most  of 
them  irresr>onsible  young  men,  some  of 
them  mere  boys — boasted  in  advance 
that  they  ware  "going  to  kill  the  Huns," 
and  after  the  shooting  disputed  for  the 
honor  of  having  brought  down  the  most 
men.  The  expedition  was  looked  up- 
on as  a  sart  of  battue,  ■rt'ith  huinan  be- 
ings instead  of  pheasants  to  furnish 
the  "bag."  It  will  be  interesting  to 
see  what  sort  of  defense  will  be  of- 
fered in  palliation  of  this  monstrous 
revelation.  If  Martin  and  his  fellow 
sportsmen  are  set  at  liberty  in  the  face 
of  the  facts  elicited  Pennsylvania  wHl 
be  a  good  stat  ?  to  keep  out  of,  unless 
one  happens  to  be  a  member  of  the  co;il 
trust  with  license  to  shoot  over  the 
Luzerne   county   preserves. 


Patriotic  For  Revenue  Only. 

Peoria  Herald:  New  York  wants  the 
governmeit  'o  relmbur.«e  her  to  the 
amount  of  $42.79*!,  the  aniou:it  paid  by  the 
state  in  18G3  to  arm  state  tr(X)ps  organ- 
ized to  aid  in  stinnressing  the  rebellion. 
Now  York  never  did  a  patriotic  thing  that 
she  did  not  expect  pay  for  it. 


A  Goofl  Driver  In  a  Rad   Place. 

S.  B.  S.  in  Our  Dumb  Animals:  I  was 
glad  to  see  in  Our  Dumb  Animals  an 
article  concerning  a  humane  cabman. 
The  occupant  of  the  cab  was  so  sur- 
prised and  gratified  at  the  quiet  and 
gentle  way  in  which  the  driver  guided 
his  horse  through  a  crowded  thorough- 
fare, tha :  she  added  to  the  fare  and 
complimented  the  good  fellow  for  al)- 
staining  I'rom   abuse. 

We  had  ordered  some  coal  from  ,1. 
T..  dealer.  I  sat  by  the  window  when 
the  first  load  arrived,  and  as  the  team 
came  up  the  soft,  muddy  avenue  to- 
ward the  house.  I  feared  to  see  whip- 
ping and  to  hear  swearing,  and  was  on 
the  point  of  retreating  to  the  back  part 
of  the  house  to  avoid  the  expected 
.shock,  when  the  driver  began  coaxing 
and  patting  the  horses  in  the  kindest 
manner.  "The  poor  beasts  in  return 
strained  i^-ery  muscle  in  their  efforts 
to  bring  the  load  up  the  ascent.  The 
driver  en.?ouraged  and  coaxed,  and  all 
three  seemed  to  work  with  mutual  en- 
deavor and  good  will.  But  all  to  no 
purpose.  The  wheels  .sank  into  the  soft 
mud.  and  it  was  evident  the  thing 
could  not  Jie  done:  so  he  dumped  the 
coal  right  down  in  front  of  the  house. 

I  could  not  help  going  out  and  tell- 
ing him  how  much  it  gratified  me  to 
see  a  man  who  had  feeling  for  his 
hor.ses.  '  Well,  "  said  he.  "I  don't  see 
any  use  in  beating  animals  when  they 
are  doinp  the  best  fhey  can  for  us." 
The  .same  man  came  again  and  was 
eciually  kind  and  considerate,  though 
he  succeeded  in  Retting  his  load  to  its 
destination.  I  have  seen  him  bring 
coal  to  a  nt-ighbor  since  the  last  snow 
came,  and  he  took  his  sh<»vel  along  to 
ease  the  bad  places.  May  this  good 
driver,  in  his  turn,  be  kindly  dealt  with; 
and  in  his  journey  through  life,  find 
.some  friendly  hand  to  ease  him  in  the 
bad  places.

HEROES  or  THE  MAINE. 


Buffalo  Express:  The  wreck  of  the 
Maine  was  not  without  Its  acts  of  hero- 
i.sin.  The  live  men  who  went  forward 
tit  Hood  the  gun  cotton  and  ni  ver  re- 
lumed showed  an  example  of  splendid 
discipline  and  devotion  to  duty  worthy 
of  long  preservation  in  the  annals  of 
the  navy. 

Haltlinore  American:  One  splendid 
thing  about  the  reports  from  the  Maine 
is  that  there  htis  not  been  a  single  In- 
timation that  any  man  behaved  In  iny 
o-ther  manner  than  that  of  a  hero.  And 
those  who  marched  coolly  to  death 
when  ordered  to  Hood  the  gun  cotton 
were  as  genuine  heroes  as  history  has 
over   known. 

Philadelphia  Ledger;  In  the  first  ac- 
counts, rumors  rather  than  rei^orLs,  of 
the  disa.ster  to  the  Maine  it  was  .said 
that  some  of  Ihe  oHicers  of  the  ill-fated 
vessel  were  believed  to  be  ashore 
or  visiting  other  vessels  at  the  time  of 
the  expliision.  A  r-orrespondi-nt  sign- 
ing himself  "A  True  American,"  who 
iiKtuins  concerning  Capt.  '  Sigsbee's 
wbeii-abiiuts  at  the  time,  is  hereby  iii- 
forined  that  it  ha«  been  Indisputably 
shown  that  the  captain  was  on  his  ves- 
sel when  she  blew  up,  and  he  was  the 
last  man  taken  off  her  by  the  res- 
cuers. His  conduct  throughout  has 
been  marked  by  bravery,  prudence 
and  keen  Intelligence.  His  tact,  dis- 
cretion and  i)resence  of  mind  In  th.; 
face  of  extraordinary  conditions  stamp 
him  as  a  model  American. 

New  York  World;  When  Capt.  Sigs- 
bee reached  the  deck  after  the  explo- 
sion, the  first  person  he  met  was  Wil- 
liam Anthony,  an  orderly  of  marines. 
In  the  semi-darkness,  lit  by  the  flames 
of  the  bursting  ship  and  pierced  by 
shrieks  and  groans,  he  saw  Orderly 
Anthony  ci>me  to  a  "present  arms"  as 
calmly  as  if  it  were  dress  parade  and 
heard  him  say  in  the  even  tones  of  per- 
fect discipline;  "Sir.  I  have  to  inform 
you  that  the  ship  has  been  blown  up 
and  is  sinking."  "What  a  soldier!  " 
exclaims  Scovel,  th  e  World's  corre- 
spondent, after  relating  this  story  of 
cool  courage  and  superb  presence  of 
mind.  "He  should  be  decorated  by 
congress."  When  Scovel  asked  this 
hero  of  the  ranks  his  name,  and  com- 
plimented him,  Anthony  said;  "Oh, 
that's  nothing.  Any  Yankee  marine 
would  do  that."  What  a  .soldier  indeed! 
Also    what    a    type       of       level-headed,

ABOIT  PROSPERITY. 


.Vorthwt stern  Catholic:  An  esteemed 
correspondent,  regarding  the  Northwest- 
ern Catholic  as  a  purveyor  of  national 
I)ri>sperity,  writes  the  following  inquiries: 

"Where  now  Is  your  prosperity?  W'hrre 
are  the  good  times  that  you  have  been  pre- 
dicting? Is  not  all  this  talk  about  go<xi 
times  a  wil-o'-the-wisj)  and  a  d^lu.^ion? 
if  times  have  improved,  where  is  the  evi- 
dence and  who  are  the  beneficiaries?  ' 

Some  men  are  so  constituted  that  th-y 
can  see  a  fly  on  a  barn  door  at  the  dis- 
tance of  a  mile,  but  they  cannot  see  the 
barn;  and  there  are  others  so  disposed 
that  they  could  not  admit  the  existence  of 
day  in  the  light  of  the  noonday  sun.  There 
were  men  among  th?  crews  of  Columbus 
who  wanted  to  turn  back,  after  they  had 
down  or  denied.  For  lb97  bank  clearings 
sels  and  could  smell  the  odors  of  the 
orange  groves  of  San  Domingo.  Good 
times  and  bad  times  are  relative  terms. 
Times  may  be  bad  in  some  localities  and 
good  in  others.  With  some  men  times  are 
always  gocKl,  and  with  others  they  are  al- 
ways bad.  Whether  the  country  is  iiros- 
perous  or  otherwise  cannot  be  determined 
by  the  existing  conditions  in  a  particular 
family  or  a  certain  locality;  but  the  evi- 
dence of  increasing  activity  in  industry 
and  trade  is  too  palpable  to  be  talked 
seen  the  land  birds  perching  on  the  ves- 
show  a  gain  of  $fi.000.000  or  about  12  per 
cent  over  1S96.  With  the  volume  of  clear- 
ings at  present  advancing  at  still  great- 
er rate.  Two  hundred  railroads,  repre- 
senting iriO.OtX)  miles  of  track,  report  for 
l<Si>"  increased  earnings  of  nearly  IQO.OiTd.- 
OtK)  over  18%,  and  in  the  same  period  only 
eighteen  roads,  representing  15.tO  miles  of 
track,  went  into  the  hands  of  receivers, 
thirty-four  roads.  representing  5.'>00 
miles  of  track  for  the  preceding  year. 
There  were  not  onlv  2(HW  less  commercial 
failur<^  in  18P7  than  in  ISitfi.  but  the  aggre- 
gate liabilities  were  $<>0,000.000  less.  The 
total  output  of  pig  iron  last  year,  although 
the  largest  on  record  for  this  country. 
Ijromises  to  be  exceeded  during  the  cur- 
rent year,  while  the  demand,  both  at 
home  and  aViroad.  for  steel  rails,  locomo- 
t!\'es  and  other  finished  products  is  stead- 
ily widening. 

The  single  weak  spot  in  our  industrial 
system  today  is  the  cotton  industry  of 
Nfw  I-^nglanii:  but  tiie  cotton  mills  of  the 
South  are  running  on   full  time. 

Nor  can  the  American  farmer  reason- 
ably complain.  He  received  for  his  bread- 
stuffs  in  lS*t7  double  the  money  he  re- 
ceived in  1894  or  1893.  and  nearly  .^0  pi=r 
cent  more  than  he  received  in  1.S96.  The 
value  of  breadstuffs  exported  from  the 
I'nited  States  in  1894  was  $121.1ii.377;  in 
189.'..  1121. 571,. '1,^5:  in  lS9fi,  .$177,278,40,1;  in  1897, 
$243,121,108.  In  nearly  all  other  articl  s 
of  farm  products  the  exportations  for  1897 
were  far  beyond  those  of  preci^iing  years 
in  value,  and  the   prices  generally  higher. 

Whether  with  a  sound  and  honest  sys- 
ti'm  of  bimetallism  the  country  would  not 
be  still  more  prosperous  is  an  open  ijues- 
tion  upon  which  good,  intelligent  and  pa- 
triotic men  may  honestly  differ;  and 
whether  our  present  system  of  protective 
tariff  helps  or  hinders  prosperity  is  also 
debatable.  But  that  the  condition  of  this 
iiuntiy  has  vastly  imiiroved  over  tne 
condition  of  one.  two  or  four  year  ago 
there  can  be  no  question.  That  the  coun- 
try is  at  last  fairly  prosp.?rous  is  a  fact, 
thank  God.  I^et  thoso  who  will  trace  this 
blessed  condition  to  human  causes  at  their 
leisure.  For  our  i>art  we  will  take  it  for 
granted  that  bounteous  crops  and  big 
j.rices  are  dispensations  of  God's  grace 
and  mercy,  and  are  accordingly  thankful 
ami  gratifled.

Detroit  News:  A  further  enlargement  of 
t'le  Rockefeller  interests  is  looked  for, 
since  the  multi-millionaire  is  said  to  have 
aci;iiired  a  controlling  interest  in  the 
plant  of  llie  West  Superior  Iron  and  Steel 
companv.  The  bonded  indebtedness  of 
the  concern  was  Jl.tOT.OdO  and  the  other 
liabilities  amounted  to  about  $411,000,  and 
the  conctrr.  has  just  Ix'en  sold  to  George 
AVelwoocI  Murray,  agent  for  a  syndicate 
nbich  will  reorganize  under  the  name  of 
tho  Wisconsin  Steel  company.  As  Mr. 
itocketeller  is  largely  interestel  in  the 
American  Steel  Barge  company,  it  is 
possible  that  he  plans  to  build  his  own 
vessels  hereafter.  Having  control  of  the 
Standard  Oil  company,  control  of  a  large 
part  of  the  1  orthem  iron  mines  and  con- 
trol of  the  on -carrying  trade,  it  would 
not  be  strange  is  he  should  build  his 
own  \essels,  since  he  can  produce  all  the 
materials  in  his  own  mills.  The  iiuesliou 
naturally  arises,  where  will  Mr.  Rocke- 
feller's activity  end?  The  more  millions 
he  1  il(  s  up  the  more  he  must  bramh  ut 
in  bnsiness  to  keep  (hem  euipl"yt'd.  Aut\ 
to  the  colossal  fortuno  he  has  .already 
an  un.nhted.  the  eommiri-i.il  ecuius  cf 
rhc  man  who  so  ably  directs  them,  and 
it  is  hard  to  say  where  his  extensions  of 
l)iisin.'.-s    will   stoii. 


The  Fire   Eater. 

"Fair  Cuba  must  be  free!"   he  cried. 

And   waved  his  arms   the  while; 
"Let   Freedom's  everlasting  tide 

Beat   round  the  lovely  isle'. 
The  tyrant  must   b?   juit  to  rout. 

His  bloody  sway   must  cease — 
Arise,    Columbia,    drive   him   out. 

And  give  the  freeman  i>eace! 

"O.   what  a  shame  that   noble  men 

Should  bow  before  a  child! — 
Should    be    undone  or  raised    up   when 

.A   woman   frowned   or  smiled! 
What  f re:  born  man  who  hears  today 

May  further  stay  his  hand?— 
Let  tyranny  be  swei>t  away 

i'rom   Freedoms  chosen    land!" 

At  last  he  (|uit  the  halls  of  st.ite. 

.And.    homeward,    musing,    strolled— 
His  wife   was  mad.   for  he  was  late. 

And  dinner  had  got   cold! 
She   made   him  grovel  on   the  floor. 

She  jawed  him  to  a   pe.ik; 
iie  jiromisi  ..  to  be  late  no  more. 

When  she  gave  him  leave  to  speak. 

And  when  the  fearful  strife  was  done 

The  man  who  wanted  gore. 
Was  mounted  by   his   little  son. 

A  child  of   nearly   four!— 
On  hands  and  knees  he  galloped  round. 

With  a   tyrant   on  his   back. 
Till    mamma,    wrought    up   by   the   sound. 

Ruled  horse  and   rider  frorn  the  track!

THROIGH 
SERVICE 

Train    From    Siou\    City   to 

Dututh  Will   Be  Put  on 

Soon. 


HILL   IS  AUTHORITY 


Told  St.  Cloud  Business  Men 

That  This  Would  Be 

Done. 


Pi-esidem  James  J.  Hill  of  the  Great 
Northern  Railroad  company  has  an- 
nounced his  Intention  ot"  puitins  on  a 
through  train  t^iTviif  on  his  line  be- 
tween Duluth  and  Sioux  City.  Iowa.  He 
volunteered  this  information  to  a  com- 
mit t'H^  of  St.  Cloud  business  men  who 
called  on  him  Monday  to  make  a  request 
for  a  new  passenper  depot  at  St.  Cloud. 
The  railroad  magnate  was  evidently  in 
a  tiood  humor  for  he  not  only  readily 
promised  all  that  was  asked  of  him. 
save  assurances  that  the  through 
Southwestern  train  .service  would  be  in- 
augurated soon  and  said  that  he  expect- 
ed sreat  sood  wouid  rosult  from  it. 

The  Duluth  jobbers  and  lumber  manu- 
facturers have  Ions  fflt  the  necessity 
of  a  daily  train  servite  l)etwi'tn  this 
city  and  Iowa  and  South  Dakota  points 
and  the  jobbers  union  and  the  chambti 
of  commerce  have  recently  taken  steps 
to  secure  it.  Representatives  of  the 
jobbers  union  have  talktKl  the  matter 
over  with  James  X.  Hill,  general  mana- 
ger of  the  Kastein  Minnesota,  and  were 
greatly  encouraged. 

While  the  Great  Northern  has  for  a 
long  time  had  an  ^.v  line  from  Duluth 
to  Sioux  Falls,  S.  D..  it  has  been  of  lit- 
tle practical  benefit  to  the  city,  be- 
cause no  through  passenger  or  freight 
ser\ice  has  been  provided.  It  taps  a 
country  that  naturally  should  be  tribu- 
tary to  Duluth.  but  Duluth  Jobbers  hav 
been  unable  to  get  much  of  a  foothold 
there  because  they  could  not  deliver 
goods  as  promptly  as  their  competitors 
in  St.  Paul  and  Minneapolis.  There  has 
been  no  discrimination  against  them  in 
rates,  their  disadvantage  being  entire- 
ly that  of  time.  An  order  shipped  from 
Si.  Paul  or  Minneapolis  one  day  is  now 
delivered  in  that  territory  promptly  the 
following  morning,  btit  the  same  order 
shipped  from  Duluth  might  not  reach  its 
destination  for  a  week.  With  a  regular 
daily  train  service  Duluth  would  bf> 
placed  on  the  same  footing  as  the  Twin 
Cities.  Business  men  here  who  are  fa- 
miliar with  the  .situation  firmly  believe 
that  Duluth  will  derive  almost.  If  not 
quite,  as  much  benefit  from  this  .ser- 
vice as  it  will  got  from  the  Fosston 
branch  which  is  now  in  course  of  con- 
struction. 

That  President  Hill  shares  this  vi-^'w 
of  it  is  evidenced  by  what  he  said  to  the 
St.  Cloud  committee.  He  ."aid  that  lum- 
ber from  here  would  enter  that  terri- 
tory and  that  trains  would  brins  back 
corn  and  other  coarse  grains,  for  ship- 
ment to  the  East  over  the  lakes,  which 
now  finds  a  market  by  wa.v  of  Chicago. 
A  good  start  has  already  been  made  in 
this  trade,  there  now  l>eing  in  store 
in  the  cb-vators  at  the  head  of  the  lake 
over  2.U00.01M»  bushels  of  corn  that  was 
grown  in  the  Southwestern  territory.

TRIALS  or  AN  ALDERMAN. 


How  the  Office-Seekers   Beset   Him 
for  Places. 

"Yes."  said  unu  ut  th^  newly-elected 
aldermen  to  an  Evening  Herald  reporter 
today,  "I  will  take  the  oath  of  office  next 
Tuesday,  and  I  am  glad  that  the  time  is 
so  near  at  hand,  for  I  want  to  have  the 
few  offices  that  are  to  be  disposed  nf  by 
the  council  out  of  the  way  as  soon  as 
possible.  At  first  I  was  rather  pleased 
to  have  men  come  to  me  and  ask  my 
support  for  this  position  and  that.  It 
sort  of  made  me  feel  that  an  alderman 
was  a  person  of  some  consequence,  but 
Ahey  kept  coming  until  I  am  heartily 
tirnd  of  them  all.  Men  are  applicants  for 
the  most  petty  positions  who.  a  few 
years  ago.  would  have  felt  insulted  if 
they  had  been  tendered  to  them  <m  a 
silver  platter.  There  are.  I  verily  be- 
lieve., a  hundred  aspirants  for  every 
place,  and  they  chase  me  up  at  all  times. 
and  they  are  no  respecters  of  places. 
Why,  only  yesterday,  I  had  occasion  to 
be  >n  the  roof  of  a  7-story  building,  and 
I  had  been  there  scarcely  fifteen  minutes 
when  I  .saw  the  head  of  an  office-hunter 
appear  through  the  trap  door.  It  mad.- 
mt'  feci  like  jumping  off  to  get  away 
fi  im  him.  but  I  finally  mustered  up 
couragf  fUi'Ugh  to  fact-  him  and  have  it 
out.  It  thk  life  f»f  an  allerman  is  so 
best  t  with  trials  and  tril)Ulations  after 
hi  has  assumtfl  th>'  duties  of  his  oflici- 
as  it  is  bctwfcn  tht-  tim<-  of  his  t-lccti'in 
and  the  taking  of  the  oatii.  you  can  de- 
pend on  it  that  I  will  not  be  a  Candi- 
da tt    for  a  second  term." 

Another  of  the  new  aldt.rmtn  n  ports 
a  similar  experience  with  the  otfict- 
scckers.  He  said  hi  had  t-ndeavortd  to 
bfar  up  under  it  with  fortitude  and 
.t;ood  nature,  but  had  been  severely 
tempted  to  promise  his  vote  to  all  candi- 
dates relying  on  thii  secret  ballot  to 
protect  him  against  the  wrath  of  the  dis- 
apF'-'inttd  onts.  As  a  means  of  self- 
defense  he  said  ht  had  suggested  the 
candidates  for  the  same  position  get  to- 
S>.lhtr  and  settle  the  question  among 
thimselvea  by  a  series  of  games  of 
"smear."  whatever  that  may  be.  They 
are  all  his  friends,  he  says,  and  he 
would  be  willing  to  vote  for  the  winner 
in  the  toinnament.  His  plan  has  not 
met  with  general  favor  among  the  offic - 
hunters,  as  the  majority  of  them  believe 
iheniselves  more  skillful  in  the  game  of 
[>oli(i.p  than  in  the  gam*-  of  ■  sni.  ar,"

•THE  c;eisha.  • 

•The  Oeisha"  was  given  a  good  pro- 
.luctioii  at  the  Lyceum  last  evening  and 
was  witnessed  by  a  larse  audience.  The 
oiura,  which  was  one  of  the  arreat  New 
York  sui'cesses,  is  the  work  of  Sidney 
.lones.  with  words  by  Owen  Hall.  It  is. 
tuneful,  brisht  and  catchy.  The  Jap- 
anese scene  jrives  it  a  prett.v  and  some- 
what novel  effect  and  the  music  ha.s  a 
Japanese  jingle  that  is  very  catchy. 
There  is  plenty  of  fun  sprinkled  through 
the  production,  but  there  is  not  much 
of  the  very  broad  ccmiedy  which  is  some- 
times provided  in  liberal  doses  in  comic 
opera. 

The  production  on  the  while  is  a  good 
oi;e,  although  not  a  brilliant  one,  by 
any  means.  The  cast  is  an  evenly  bal- 
anced one,  but  contains  no  great  stars. 
Mark  Smith  is  probably  the  best  known 
to  Duluth  people,  but  the  part  which  he 
assumes  in  'The  Geisha"  gives  him  little 
to  do,  and  he  was  heard  in  imt  a  single 
song,  and  that  rather  an  indifferent  one. 
His  part  is  a  rather  wooden  one  and  he 
played  it  in  a  rather  perfunctory  way 
as  well.  Miss  Millard  as  the  geisha  was 
a  favorite  with  the  audience.  She  sang 
several  very  pleasing  solos  and  ^vas 
given  a  number  of  recalls.  Miss  Linda 
Da  Costa  is  a  very  clever  little  soul>rette 
and  as  Mollie  Seamore.  the-  English  girl, 
who  masquerades  as  a  gei.sha.  she  made 
a  great  hit.  She  is  a  dainty  little  per- 
son and  dances  with  great  vivacity  and 
grace.  In  the  song  •The  Toy  Duet  '  she 
was  especially  pleasing  and  her  acting 
was  very  clever.  John  Rirk  as  Lieut. 
Fairfax  sings  well  and  has  a  pleasing 
•stage  presence.  Charles  Swain  as 
Wun-Hi.  keeper  of  the  tea  house,  was 
excellent,  but  the  audience  was  rather 
slow  to  find  this  out.  Henry  Gunsnn, 
the  tenor,  has  a  pleasing  voice  and  sang 
well.  Thi;  principal  criticism  to  be  made 
is  of  the  choru.s.  It  is  too  small  and 
lacks  in  volume,  this  detracting  con-

Calendar  Will  Be  Light. 

As  expected,  the  calendar  for  tin 
March  term  of  district  court  will  be 
very  light.  I'p  to  last  night,  w  ht-n  the 
time  diiring  which  new  cases  could  be 
placed  on  the  calendar  ended,  the  total 
number  of  cases  on  the  calendar  was 
lOS.  fifteen  less  than  at  the  January 
term,  when  the  calendar  did  not  la.^t 
three  weeks.  It  is  expected  that  this 
term  will  last  longer  than  the  other 
one.  if  it  is  shorter  in  the  number  of 
cases,  for  there  are  some  ca.ses  that  will 
spin  it  out. 

Entitled  to  Nothing. 

.  Judge  Ensign  fiiod  lii.<  findings  yes- 
terday in  the  case  of  John  M.  Williams 
against  the  Cincinnati  Iron  company 
and  the  Standard  Ore  company,  to  re- 
cover royalties  due  on  the  Cincinnati 
mine.  Judge  Ensign  finds  that  thf 
plaintiffs  are  entitb'd  to  nothing  for  the 
rea.-:on  that  in  a  former  case  the  leaso 
held  by  the  defendants  was  cancel'ed 
and  all  of  the  property  of  the  defend- 
ants turned  t)ver  to  the  plaintiff  in  sat- 
isfaction of  his  claims.  The  decision 
is  not.  as  published,  to  the  effect  that 
the  lease  is  not  to  be  cancelled.  That 
was  done  some  time  ago.

Jennings  creek  is  making  no  end  of 
trouble  for  Street  Commissioner  Nichol- 
son, and  it  threatens  to  destroy  any  or 
all  of  the  eight  city  bridges  that  span 
i;.  Last  fall  Jennings  creek  was  a  dry 
gully  and  contained  water  only  occa- 
sionally. A  large  spring  in  the  vicinity 
of  Proctorkrtott  has  during  the  winter, 
however,  been  lljwing  into  it.  The 
water  has  flowed  along  the  bottom  and 
frozen  from  the  bed  up.  until  now  there 
is  in  places  solid  ice  to  a  depth  ot  four- 
teen feet,  and  it  is  steadily  growing. 
Street  Commissijner  Nicholson  has  from 
time  to  time  cut  ciiannels  in  the  ice  to 
carry  otf  the  water,  but  this  has  not  yet 
proven  very  effective  and  there  is  great 
danger  that  the  bridges  will  be  flooded 
and  covered  with  a  solid  Jjody  of  ice. 
Yesterday  the  employes  of  the  Incline 
railway  com])lained  that  the  work  of 
thf  street  commissioner  had  resulted  in 
tiooding  the  tracks  and  that  ice  had 
been  formed  over  them  and  interfered 
with  the  movement  of  the  cars.  Mr, 
Nicholson  is  not  clear  as  to  how  the 
threatened  danger  to  the  bridges  can  be 
averted.

BUSINESS  MEN'S  ASSOCIATION. 

Sickness  in  his  family  prevented  Pres- 
ident Hanson  E.  Smith  from  attending 
the  special  meeting  of  the  West  Duluth 
Business  Men's  association  last  night, 
and  it  was  presided  over  by  A.  Bagk>. 
As  expected  spt-akers  failed  to  put  in  ati 
appearance  the  subject  of  manufac- 
tories was  not  discussed. 

The  plan  of  Postmaster  Helinski  t  ) 
abolish  the  postofflce  at  West  Duluth 
and  introduce  a  carrier  service  with  a 
sub-station  in  place  of  it,  was  talkel 
over  and  opposed  by  all.  A  resolution 
was  adopted  protesting  against  the  pn- 
posed  change,  and  the  secretary  was  in- 
structed to  forward  it  to  <;:;ongressman 
Page  Morris  at  Washington. 

The  resignation  of  Capt.  J.  B.  Randal! 
as  a  member  of  the  board  of  tire  com- 
missioners was  brought  up,  and  it  was 
exries.^ed  as  the  sense  of  the  meetin-; 
thai  his  successor  should  be  selected 
fiom  West  Duluth.  S  resaluiion  to  thi^' 
t  ffect  was  adopted,  and  a  committ-;'' 
consisting  of  Hanson  E.  Smith  and  D.  D. 
Maxon  was  appointed  to  present  it  to 
Mayor  Truelsen  and  urge  him  to  appoint 
.some  competent  resident  of  this  part  of 
the  city  to  fill  the  vacancy  caused  by 
Capt.  Randall's  resignation. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  associatioii 
will  be  held  Thursday  evening,  March 
?,.  when  the  subject  of  securing  the  lo- 
cation of  manufacturers  in  West  Dulut.i 
will  again  be  tak^n  up. 


Claim  That  They  Exist  Under  Havana's 
Harbor. 

Havana,  Feb.  21,  via  Key  West.— 
In  connection  with  the  claim  made 
by  the  Cubans  that  there  are  mine 
galleries  under  the  harbor  of  Havana, 
leading  from  subterranean  passages,  and 
known  to  have  existed  for  years,  be- 
f.veen  Fort  Cabanas.  Morro  Castle  and 
this  port,  the  Spaniards  explain  that 
for  over  a  tentury  a  subterranean  pass- 
age, about  two  miles  long  and  eight 
feet  at  its  narrowest  diameter,  capable 
of  giving  passage  to  a  column  of  troops, 
existed  from  the  navy  yard  to  Castillo 
Del  Princip", 

But  the  Spaniards  furth.-r  assert,  tlie 
existence  of  this  passage  was  not  known 
to  the  present  authorities,  or  to  those 
who  have  been  in  powerfor  many  years 
past.  The  entrances  and  exits,  it  is 
added,  havo  been  closed  for  years  past 
by  thiik  walls,  now  covered  with  debris, 
and  their  txact  location  is  said  to  be 
lost.  At  thfc  same  time,  it  is  admitted 
that  records  regarding  the  subterrantan 
passa.ge  can  be  found  in  old  document.^ 
contained  in  the  archives  of  Havana. 
F'inally.  tho  Spaniards  insist  that  this 
passa.ge  does  not  go  under  the  harbor  at 
any  point. 

Under  the  surface  there  .seems  to  b:-  a 
deep  feeling:  of  unrest.  No  one  believes 
that  autonomy  is,  or  can  be.  anything 
but  a  name,  and  there  is  still  more  de  'i> 
rooted  l>elief  that  the  United  States  will 
not  puffer  the  present  condition  of 
things  to  continue  much  longer. 

On  Satufday  last  a  party  of  abou-^ 
forty  guerrillas  left  a  fort  im  a  farm, 
neai"  Aguatate.  about  f  irty  miles  from. 
this  city,  as  was  their  custom,  to  dine 
at  a  neighl  oring  place.  During  the  ab- 
sf  nee  of  th>  guerrillas  a  detachment  of 
about  fifteen  insurgents  occupied  tin- 
foit,  and  when  the  gaiiison  return'-d 
from  ditme-,  the  insurgents  fell  upoi 
them  with  machetes  an(!  killed  twenty- 
five  out  of  the  forty  guerrillas.  The  re- 
maining fifteen  members  of  the  govern- 
ment force  succeeded  in  escaping. 


ONP:oTA  STREET  BRIIXjES. 
The  aldermen  of  the  Seventh  and 
Eighth  wards  are  interesting  ihiiii- 
stlvt'S  in  the  condition  of  the  bridges  on 
Oneota  street,  which  all  agree  are  likely 
to  go  down  at  almost  any  time,  unless 
they  are  strengthened.  Alderman  San.g 
said  today  that  the  city  engineer  was 
now  considering  the  advisability  of  fill- 
ing them  in,  although  he  has  i)repared 
"ijlans  and  estirr\ates  lor  repairing  them. 
Alderman  Cochrane  said  he  never  rod. 
over  them  without  fear  that  they  would 
go  down,  and  that  t'.ie  necessity  than 
something  be  done  at  once  was  very 
urgent.  The  underpinning  under  some 
of  them  i.-^  out  of  place  as  much  as  eight 
inches.  It  is  said  that  the  piles  are 
driven  in  quicksand,  which  is  respon- 
sible for  their  insecurity.

invited  to  lunch  with  the  royal  family 
Capt.  Villa  mil.  the  commander  o-f  the 
Spanish  s(|uadron  about  to  start  for 
Cul>a.  After  lunch  the  queen  talked  a 
1  mg  time  with  Villamil,  inquiring  into 
all  the  details  of  the  contemplated 
cruise. 

Then  her  majesty  gave  Villamil  two 
photographs,  one  of  her  daughters,  the 
princess  ol:  Asturia  and  the  infanta 
Maria  Theresa,  the  other  of  herself  and 
the  king,  upon  which  she  had  put  in

Montreal,  Feb.  24.— A  proposal  to  guar- 
ant<  e  the  b.mds  of  the  St.  Cli.ir  and  Eiie 
ship  canal  is  being  considered  by  the 
Dominion  government.  A  deputation  ol 
the  men  in  the  counties  interested,  ac- 
lompanied  by  several  members  of  parli- 
ament, presented  a  petition  that  the  Erie 
and  St.  Clair  Ship  Canal  company  ask 
fo»  a  guarantee  of  o  per  cent  interest  foi 
twenty  years  on  an  Issue  of  $.1,500,000 
bonds,  be  granted. 

The  more  irrjportani  of  the  points 
touched  upon  by  the  delegates  were  the 
shortening  of  the  distance  between  Lake 
St.  Clair  and  Lake  Erie  by  seventy-nini 
miles,  whic'a  would  decrease  the  sailing 
distance,  and  thus  increase  the  number 
of  trips  in  a  stason:  the  avoidance  of  the 
dangers  and  delays  of  the  Detroit  river 
route;  the  lessening  of  the  cost  of  trans- 
port as  between  Fort  William  and  Lake 
Erie,  and  locally  the  effectual  drainage 
over  a  very  large  area  of  fertile  land, 
now  only  imperfectly  drained  at  a  .great 
cost,  and  the  bringing  a  market  equal  to 
that  of  a  large  city  to  the  very  doors  of 
the  farmers  and  gardeners. 

It  was  also  shown  that  the  governmeni 
would  not  be  called  upon  to  pay  any  of 
the  interest  guaranteed,  as  the  company 
would  provi^le  for  it  during  construction. 
and  after  tl^at  the  tolls  on  less  than  one- 
third  of  the  tonnage  now  passing  through 
|he  I>etroit  liver  \\iould  i)ay  the  interesi 
on  the  bonds  and  all  expenses  of  main- 
tenance and  oi)eration.  The  impression 
of  the  delegation  is  that  the  govern- 
ment will  do  all  in  its  power  to  grant 
the  canal  company's  request. 


SUBMARINE  BOAT. 


Inventor    Holland    In    No    Hurry    Eor 
a  Trial. 

New  York.  Feb.  24. — The  submarine 
boat  Holland,  which  was  built  by  l.,ewis 
Nixon  at  the  Crescent  shipyards  in 
Elizabeth.  N.  .1.,  is  now  lying  in  deep 
water  at  that  place.  She  has  not  had 
a  trial  trip,  and  Builder  .Vixon  said  he 
did  not  know  when  it  would  take  i)lace. 
He  said  his  firm  had  fulfilled  il.s  con- 
tract nearly  a  year  ago,  and  that  what- 
ever was  ever  done  by  the  vessel  would 
be  under  the  direction  of  Inventor  Hol- 
land. 

It  is  understood  that  Mr.  Holland  is 
now-  confident  that  the  vessel  can  travel 
under  water.  Regarding  the  report 
that  two  Spanish  detectives  were  watch- 
ing the  Holland.  Mr.  Nixon  said  he  had 
not  noticed  any  strangers  about  his 
yards,  but  they  c  )uld  be  in  the  vicinit.v 
and  he  not  know  it.

a  Young  Husband. 

Washington,  Feb.  24.— A  widf)w  hold- 
ing the  position  of  jiostniaster  in  one 
of  the  more  important  smaller  cities  of 
the  South  recently  asked  whether  :i 
married  man  lit  or  20  years  of  age 
could  I)e  postmaster.  Assistant  Postmas- 
ter General  Heath's  reply  was  thai 
"Marriage  was  not  a  cure  for  the  pro- 
hibition in  the  postal  laws  and  regula- 
tions against  a  minor  being  inistmas- 
ter."  So  the  widow  cannot  marry  the 
young  man  and  have  him  made  post- 
master.

Has  Never  Found 
A  Better  Remedy. 


'Terrallne  for  0)nsuiiipiion. 


August  28th,  1897. 
Ever  since  you  first  introduced  Terraiine 
to  public  notice,  I  have  continued  to  praise 
it  and  prescribe  it.  With  the  income  of 
Autumn,  coughs  begin  and  Terraiine  will 
do  its  blessed  work.  I  have  never  found  a 
better  remedy  after  frost  begins.

Philadelphia,  Pa. 


TERRALINE  cures  Throat  and  Lung  Troubles.  It  finds 
Its  best  recommendation  in  the  Indorsement  of  physicians 
everywhere.  TERRALINE,  unlike  cod  liver  oil,  is  both 
tasteless  and  easily  dij^ested.  Children  like  TERRALINE. 
TERRALINE  cures  Pneumonia,  La  Grippe,  Wasting  Dis= 
eases,  Coughs,  Colds,  and  all  throat  troubles.  It  is  not  a 
patent  medicine.  Write  for  booklet  "Physicians'  Testis

Durang's  Rheumatic  Remedy. 

Dear  Sir:— "I  would  say  that  Durang's  Rheumatic  Remedy  was  or- 
dered for  James  P.  Rader,  a  former  clerk  in  the  Treasury  Department,  at 
Wasliington,  D.  C,  and  all  I  know  about  the  medicine  is  what  he  told  me- 
He  said  it  was  the  best  Rheumatic  remedy  he  ever  tried,  and  the  only  one 
that  ever  gave  him  relief.    It  cured  him."*    Yours  truly,

A  NEW  ADJUTANT  GENERAL. 

Col.  Corbin    Is   to   Succeed   General 
Samuel  Breck. 

Washington,  Feh.  24.— I'pon  the  le- 
liiement  tonight  of  Gen.  Samuel  Dnxk 
from  the  I'nited  States  army.  Col. 
Henry  Clark  Corbin  will  hefome  adju- 
tant general  of  the  army.  Col.  Coihin 
is  no-t  a  West  Pointer,  yet  it  is  certain 
if  the  selection  were  left  t<>  the  vote  of 
the  army  he  would  easily  secure  the 
prize.  Not  only  his  personal  popularity 
and  his  energy,  directed  ever  toward  th"^ 
improvement  of  the  army,  but  his  re- 
markable qualifications  for  the  diffi- 
cult office  would  yirove  an  insuper- 
able advantage  over  any  other  com- 
petitor, if,  indeed,  any  candidate  would 
consent         to         the         contest  the 

honor  with  him.  One  of 

the  department  generals  remarked  the 
other  day  that  the  whole  army  had 
waited  anxiously  for  years  to  have  Cor- 
I)in  reach  the  top,  for  they  knew  no 
one  else  could  accomplish  so  much  for 
the  lasting  iienetit  of  the  service. 

His  regular  army  career  began  when, 
after  being  mustered  out  of  the  volun- 
teer seivice  March  26,  1866,  he  was  ap- 
pointed second  lieutenant  in  the  Seven- 
teenth United  Slates  infantry  in  May 
of  the  same  year,  and  immediately 
joined  the  regiment  at  Fort  Gratiot, 
Mich.,  which  was  then  a  point  of  in- 
terest by  reason  of  the  threatened 
Fenian  invasion  of  Canada.  In  Sep- 
tember he  went  with  his  company  to 
Independence.  Mo.,  and  participated  in 
settling  the   troubles  incident   to   enfor-

JImm>  Michael  Decides  to  Make  the 
I  Change. 

j      New    York,    Feli.    24.— Jimmy    Mi'h.i^I 
I  has  had  a  conference  with  Phil  Dw>er. 
I  president  of  the  Brooklyn  Jockey  ciab, 
land  owner  of  a  biff  racing  stable.     Al- 
:  thou.gh    it    did    not    result    in    any    eon- 
1  tract  being  made,   the  little  Welshman 
i?   started,    nevertheless,   on   his   career 
I  as  a  jock.    Aftei-  the  conference  Michael 
said: 
I      "Yes,  I  am  t:oing  to  make  the  experi- 
ment. I  have  not  signed  any  pap^r.-.  but 
Mr.    Dwyer    has    agreed    to    givt.    ;tj»    a, 
i  chance  and  I  am  going  to  start  at  once. 
I  I  have  ridden  horses  a  good  deal,  thougli 
never   a   race  horse,   s  >    that    I   am    nor 
altogether   green.       Of   course    I    shall 
I  have  to  learn  the  business,   in  which    I 
am  vei-y  hopeful  of  succeeding." 
Mr.    Dwyer.    while    not    in    any    way 
'  over-confident,  .said:     *lt  will  certainl.v 
he  a  great   advantage  to  the  turf  if  a 
la-d  like  .Mirhael  will  make  a  successful 
ji'tkey.    I  hope  that  he  \vill  do  so.    1  stf 
no  reason  why  he  shoubi  not.     Micha'l 
is  n  )t  too  old  to  begin,  and  In-  told  nie 
today  that  he  only  weighs  ninety-eight 
pounds. 

•'Michael  will  not  g 
ing.  at  any  rate,  for 
jiapers  are  signed  nur 
the  present.  Michael 
and  see  how  it  suits  him.  He  is  to  go 
to  my  stable  at  Graveseiid  and  vvilJ 
take  up  his  quartei-s  there.  If  he  gets 
along  all  right.  I  will  give  him  ev<-r\- 
possible  chance  and  the  opportunity  to 
show  wiiat  he  can  dJ  on  mv  bt»st 
horses.'

ing festival  next  summer.  The  meeting 
was  ostensibly  called  for  the  purpose  of 
making  plans  for  the  festival,  and  did 
in  reality  accomplish  considerable  in  this 
avspect.  but  tht  principal  ol)ject  was  for 
the  singers  to  get  personally  acquaint?d, 
and  lurthei  the  intimacy  that  preced'.-s 
sympathetic  and  tffective  work.  Th*. 
^ixieties  present  were  Normanna  Sinsr- 
ing  society  and  Svea  Glet  club,  jf  Du- 
luth; Nordon  Mandskor  and  Swedish 
Sang  club,  from  West  Superior.  Tne 
t'lttil  number  of  singers  was  about  sev- 
enty-five. About  an  equal  number  of 
n^n-singers  were  present,  among  whicli 
was  noticed  a  number  of  leading  Scandi- 
navian professional  and  business  men 
from  tht  two  cities.  After  singing  a  few 
».ings,  tht  meeting  was  called  lo  order  by 
Henry  Peterson,  editor  of  the  Superior 
Tidende,  who,  in  a  few  remarks,  intro- 
duced C.  J.  Hailing,  president  of  the 
Northwestern  Scandinavian  Singers'  as- 
sociation. Mr.  Hailing  delivered  quite  a 
spech.  urging  active  w  jrk  and  co-opera- 
tion and  unity  in  preparing  for  the  con- 
vention. 

Htnry  Pf  terson,  recording  secretary 
«f  the  association,  was  the  next 
si'eaker,  and  he  presented  with  telling 
effect  the  work  of  the  festival  committee 
up  to  date,  and  what  plans  had  been 
made  for  the  future.  He  mentioned  tht 
enormous  work  in  preparing  for  the  re- 
ception of  such  an  invasion  of  white 
caps.  The  important  matter  of  securing 
reduced  railroad  rates  for  the  visitors, 
the  arrangements  for  entertaining  them, 
and  looking  after  their  comforts  will  re- 
quire much  time.  The  time  was  laid  in 
August,  the  month  when  nature  show.-? 
up  all  its  glories,  and  the  formation  of 
:he  country,  the  sea  and  the  fine  forest 
will  wak'-  the  memories  of  the  sons  o; 
the  land  of  the  midnight  sun.  He  spoke 
of  th'.-  power  of  the  press,  the  necessity 
.f  getting  the  co-operation  and  sym- 
pathy of  the  American  and  Scandina- 
vian press.  The  assistance  of  the  ladies 
WHS  also  an  important  factor,  and  they 
again  would  influence  in  wider  and 
wider  circles.  Everybody  would  have  to 
take  hold,  and  everybody's  active  sup- 
port was  necessary  to  make  this  festival 
a  rt'!  later  day  in  the  memories  of  the 
visitors  and  the  citizens  at  the  two 
cities. 

As  a  happy  break  in  the  pniceedmgs  it 
was  announced  that  lunch  was  now 
s»-rv«-d.  and  an  ••I'-gant  spread  was  re- 
vtal'd,  which  all  did  justice  to,  and 
while  thf  innt  r  man  was  Ix-ing  refreshed. 
th»'  senses  wire  regaled  by  singing  of 
the  different  societies.  I^ater  the  mat- 
ter of  business  was  again  proceded  with. 
and  many  suggestions  and  jffers  of  as- 
sistance was  tend«»red  by  the  people 
present. 

As  a  whole,  it  was  a  very  hapr>y  gath- 
ering, that  did  much  to  cement  the 
friendship  and  good  will  amongst  the 
Scandinavians  of  Duluth  and  Superior. 
It  i.<  the  int  ntion  at  a  later  date  to 
have  a  similar  jollification  in  West  Su- 
perior.

Letter   From   C.  S.  Sargent    Who    Is 
Now  There. 

Charles   S.    Sargent,    who    left    Duluth 
j  for   Alaska   last   summer   is   putting    in 
I  the  winter  at  Skaguay.  In  a  letter  to  a 
friend  in  Duluth  written  under  date  of 
!  Fe>b.  S,  Mr.  Sargent  furnishes  some  in- 
teresting gossip  concerning  this  booni- 
,  ing   town   from   where  so   many  of  the 
Klondike  adventurers  are  making  their 
start    for    the    interior.      Among    other 
I  things  Mr.   Sargent  says: 
I      "Since    writing    to    you    in    November 
j  there  have  been  great  changes  in  Ska- 
I  guay.     The  town  has  had   a  wonderful 
'  growth  and  real  estate  values  have  ad- 
1  vanced   very   greatly.     For   example,    a 
'  lot  that  was  sold  at  that  time  for  $200, 
I  has   recently   sold    for   $2000,    and    it    is 
]  likely  to  develop  again  in  the  next  three 
months.     People   have   been   coming   at 
,  the  rate  of  a  thousand  a  week,  many  of 
j  whom  intend  to  locate  here  permanent- 
I  ly.    The  town  now  has  two  newspapers, 
'  a"   weekly   and   daily,    an    electric    light 
'  plant,    a    bank,    church,    school,    large 
mercantile   houses,   lodging  houses   and 
restaurants    by    the    dozen,    a    theater, 
twenty   or  more  saloons  and   gambling 
houses.    The  locatfon  is  the  best  on  the 
:  coast.    Three  docks  each  half  a  mile  in 
length   have   been   completed  and   work 
is  now  progressing  on  the  fourth.     The 
Skaguay  trail  over  White  pass  is  now 
in  first-rate  condition,  so  that  a  horse 
can    draw    two    sleds    with    500    pounds 
each    to   Lake   Bennett   with   only    two 
places  where  the  load  has  to  be  divid- 
ed for  a  mile  or  more  at  each,  namely. 
Porcupine   hill   and   White   pass.     Work 
on  the  wagon  road  is  being  pushed  and 
this  I  am  satisfied  will  soon  be  changed 
tc  a  railroad  as  Jim  Hill  has  been  fur- 
nishing  the  money   for   the   work.     The 
Skaguay    trail    was   in   bad   shape    last 
fall'and  everyone  gave  it  a  black  eye. 
At  that  time  I  made  a  trip  over  it  and 
returned  over  the  Dyea  trail  and  I  have 
maintained  that  this  would  be  the  route 
to    the    Yukon.      At    present    the    Dyea 
trail   is   blocked     by     snowslldes.     The 
cable  over  the  summit  works  only  oc- 
casionally. 

"Dyea  is  also  growing  very  rapidly. 
l)ut  they  are  at  a  disadvantage  in  not 
having  any  large  dock:  everything  is 
taken  from  the  steamers  here  by  light- 
ers. Haines  Mission.  Pyramid  Harbor 
and  Fort  Wrangle  are  all  having  a  lit- 
tle boom,  but  the  Skaguay  and  Dyea 
trails  are  the  only  ones  used  in  winter 
and  from  now  on  they  will  be  crowded. 
The  weather  on  this  side  of  the  pass 
is  not  severe,  zero  being  the  lowest  point 
this  winter,  there  is  a  great  deal  of 
cloudy  weather  and  disagreeable  winds, 
but  the  latter  are  not  so  bad  to  a  man 
who   has  lived   in   Duluth. 

"The  crow-g  is  well  on  the  way  now. 
1.500  people  have  arrived  in  the  last 
three  days.  It  is  my  opinion  that  Alaska 
is  going  to  be  a  good  country  for  busi- 
ness for  years  to  come.  I  am  quite 
well  contented  here,  like  the  activity 
here  better  than  waiting  for  'general 
prosperity'     to  arrive  at   Duluth. 

'The  advance  guard  of  the  govern- 
ment relief  expedition  have  arrived. 
This  is  a  farce  and  I  much  doubt  if 
any  effort  is  made  to  get  to  Dawson 
this  winter.  The  Skaguay  brass  band 
appeared  on  the  street  today  for  the 
first  time,  advertising  a  new  attraction 
at  the  theater.  About  500  men  are 
working  on  the  wagon  road.  There  is 
quite  a  colony  of  Duluth  men  in  Ska- 
guay, all  are  well  and  most  of  them 
have  commenced  to  move  to  Lake  Ben- 
nett." 


THE  LABOR  BAZAR. 


Address  By  J.  A.  Keyes  Last  Evening 
— Tonight's  Amusement. 

There  was  a  large  gathering  at  the 
labor  bazar  last  evening.  Di  Marco's 
string  band  discoursed  music  from  7:^0 
to  9  o'cljck,  after  which  John  A.  Keyes 
delivered  an  address.  The  railroads,  the 
telegraph  and  the  telephone  enabled  us, 
said  Mr.  Keyes.  to  distribute  products 
in  quantities  and  with  a  celerity  that 
v.'ould  astonish  people  of  fifty  years  ago. 
Instead  of  sending  our  orders  by  horse- 
Lack  or  stage,  we  write  our  message  on 
a  telegraph  blank  and  in  twenty  min- 
utes it  is  at  its  destination.  Duluth  was. 
Iri  the  speaker's  belief,  located  advan- 
tageously for  the  operation  of  1000  in- 
dustries, were  they  not  compelled  to 
compete  with  manufacturers  of  vast 
means  and  were  they  given  fair  rates 
by  the  railroads.  But  imder  present 
circumstances  they  could  not  compete. 
The  question  of  transportation  was  one 
of  the  greatest  confronting  us.  When 
that  should  be  settled  rightly  the  manu- 
facturing interests  of  Duluth  will  realize 
their  possibilities. 

Di  Marco's  full  string  band  played  at 
the  labor  bazar  all  this  afternf)on.  To- 
night the  skating  rink  section  of  the 
f'ity  band  will  plAy.  There  will  also  be 
vocal  and  instrumental  selections  ttnd 
speaking. 

There  will  be  no  meeting  of  the 
Trades  assembly  this  evening  on  ■ac- 
count of  the  bazar.

TODAY'S 
SESSION 

J.  H.  Tenvoorde  Advises  Ad- 
vertising to  Compete  With 
Department  Stores. 


WAY  TO  REACH  THEM 


P.  J.  McGaughey,   of  Minne- 
apolis, Delivers  a  Speech 
— Other  Business.      « 


The  retail  grocers'  convention  yester- 
day afternoon  declared  against  supply 
houses  in  a  resolution  presented  by  S. 
W.  Hill,  president  of  the  Duluth  Gro- 
1  ers'  association,  which  was  unani- 
mously adopted.  The  resolution  is  as 
fiillows: 

"Whereas,  the  supply  house  is  a  fac- 
tor in  trade  detrimental  tt)  all  fail'  com- 
petition, as  it  has  no  stock  on  which 
to  take  any  business  risks,  no  capital 
invested  till  it  receives  its  pay  from  its 
patrons,  and  pays  no  taxes  to  main- 
tain either  local  or  state  organizations, 
and  by  imfair  advertising,  and  often 
untrue  representations,  are  taking  the 
trade  from  channels  that  pay  the  bUi- 
den  of  taxation  and  support  muni<i- 
pallties  and  state;  and  that  to  meet 
thtse  so-called  mercantile  industries, 
be  it 

"Resolved,  that  we  demand  that  al! 
jobbers  and  manufacturers  cease  to 
sell  their  goods  to  supply  hous.  s,  and 
that  any  Jobber  or  manufacturer  that 
sells  to  these  houses,  we.  the  retail 
merchants  of  Minnesota,  p<.>sitively  re- 
fuse to  buy  our  supplies  from  said  job- 
ber or  manufacturer,  and  for  the  pur- 
pose of  ascertaining  thtjir  position  we 
demand  all  jobbers  or  manufacturers 
give  us  their  position  on  the  situation,  " 

An  intersting  paper  was  read  by  C. 
W.  Hall,  of  St.  Paul,  on  "The  Supitly 
House  and  What  Are  We  Going  to  Do 
About  If?"  The  manager  of  the  su|i- 
ply  house,  said  Mr.  Hall  is  a  business 
nondescript— by  turn  a  dealer  in  all 
things,  groceries,  dry  gomis,  general 
hardware,  saddlery  and  harness,  hats 
and  caps,  boots  and  shoes,  ready-made 
clothing,  men's  furnishings,  china 
goods,  rifles  and  revolvers,  dolls  and 
draperies,  muslin  and  other  articles  too 
numerous  to  mention.  As  a  rule,  he 
expects  the  local  jobber  to  furnish  his 
stock,  the  postal  department  to  carry 
his  goods  at  a  loss  and  his  merchant 
fellow  citizens  to  make  up  for  his  at- 
tenuated taxes.  He  has  the  eye  of  a 
jackal  for  a  fraudulent  bankruptcy  or 
an  impending  failure,  and  uses  the  re- 
mains of  the  last  victim  of  his  blight- 
ing competition  to  hasten  the  aemise 
of  another.  The  department  store  and 
catalogue  house  follows  the  heels  of 
the  Standard  Oil,  match  and  similar 
monopolies.  All  legitimate  dealers 
must  co-operate  and  assert  their  rights 
as  representatives  of  more  honorable 
and  regular  beneficial  factors  in  trade. 
They  should  refuse  to  handle  goods  in- 
troduced by  such  methods,  and  should 


by  J,  A.  McConkey.  of  Fergus  Falls, 
who  was  unable  to  be  present,  on  the 
desirability  of  buying'  from  the  whole- 
saler inate  id  of  the  manufacturer.  It 
was  absolutely  necessary,  It  was  stated, 
that  there  should  exist  between  the 
wholesale  and  the  retail  trade  a  feeling 
of  mutual  fricndsiiip  and  confidence. 
The  jolibei's  profit  was  at  most  but  a 
small  item  and  while  it  seemed  like  so 
Uiuch  clear  nain.  yet  to  buy  fi'oin  the 
manufactuier  would  be  to  draw  a  cor<l 
aiound  till  neck  of  the  retailer,  for  it 
would  be  inly  a  (question  (^  time  when 
the  wholesaler  would  throw  down  the 
bars  and  lecome  a  huge  supply  house. 
If  the  retailer  will  stand  firm  for  the 
wholesaler,  the  latter  would  do  the 
same  for  the  former,  and  with  the 
wholesaler  at  his  back  the  retailer  could 
<lefy  depaitnient  stores,  sui>ply  houses 
and  all  th'ir  sisters.  What  /nanufac- 
lurer  would  .sell  to  a  supply  house  or  its 
ilk  at  th.>  peiil  of  having  the  wholesaler 
refuse  to  handle  his  product.  It  was 
very  convenient,  too.  for  the  retailer 
t  >  be  on  gi>od  speaking  terms  with  the 
wholesaler  with  whom  he  has  dealt,  be- 
cause of  thf  aid  the  wholt^saler  Wias  able 
tind  had  by  many  been  proven  willing 
to  extend  to  the  retailer  in  the  exigen- 
cies of  business.  The  ■wholesaler  and 
retailer  shouUi  clasp  hands  and  meet 
the  storms  of  adversity  together. 

A  let,ter  .vas  received  from  the  Klbow 
Lake,  association,  expressing  regret  at 
the  fact  that  its  representative  had 
luen  prevented  from  attending,  and 
the  gDod  wishes  of  the  members,  and 
the  hope  that  the  absence  of  their  rep- 
resentative would  not  hinder  the  good 
work. 

A  communication  from  President  Mc- 
Ewen  of  the  Trades  assembly  was  re- 
ceived, calling  attention  to  the  labor 
bazar  and  stating  that  this  afternoon 
and  evening  had  been  set  apart  as 
"grocers'  day"  at  the  bazar.  It  was 
piaoetl  on  file.  State  Secretary  Ding- 
man  expressed  an  opinion  that  the  as- 
3(-clation  owed  to  the  Trades  assembly 
some  expression  of  recognition  of  itn 
efforts  to  encourage  the  manufacture  of 
home  products.  Prison-made  goads,  he 
said,  should  be  branded  as  such,  so 
that  people  might  know  what  they  were 
buying, 

Presiden.  C.  E.  Griffin  of  the  Retail 
Grocers'  association  of  Superior  issued 
on  Invitation  to  the  delegates  in  behalf 
of  Superior  busine.ss  interests  to  visit 
that  city  Friday  morning,  the  invitation 
being  accepted  by  an  unanimous  vote. 
The  Superior  people  will  provide  a  spe- 
cial train  to  take  the  visitors  over  from 
here,  and  vill  return  them  in  season  to 
take  the  afternoon  train  south. 
THE  MORNING  SESSION. 
At  the  opening  of  the  morning  session 
today  J.  H.  Tenwoorde,  of  St.  Paul,  read 
a  paper  o-i  "The  Department  Store: 
How  Can  We  Compete  With  It?"  Mr. 
Tenwoorde  said  an  attitude  of  peace  in 
business  life  is  out  of  the  question.  In 
the  past  I.  person  with  limited  capital 
and  good  ability  would  enter  busineus 
Without  fearing  competition,  but  now  he 
has  the  department  store  to  compete 
with.  He  classed  this  as  an  octopus, 
bringing  mpoverished  merchants,  iti- 
numeiable  signs  "This  Store  For  Rent," 
unprofitable  real  estate,  etc.  He  spoke 
of  the  large  number  of  small  stores 
crowded  out  by  the  big  department 
store.s.  These  small  stores  made  a  large 
amount  of  taxes,  and  the  department 
store  gets  off  without  paying  anything 
like  a  proportionate  share.  How  to 
compete  with  these  stores  the  speaker 
was  at  a  loss  to  say.  Obliteration  is 
the  result  that  will  come  in  time  to  the 
small  stnr=.  There  is  no  law  to  reach 
the  department  store.  That  the  legisla- 
ture must  be  looked  to  for  relief  is  ob- 
vious.   What  we  want  is  the  question 


F,    LOKKNZ, 
Of   Minneapolis,   Secretary   of   Nati  nial    Retail    Grocers'    Association. 


insist  on  equitable  taxation,  so  that 
usuri)ation  of  a  score  or  two  of  call- 
ings will  be  practically  ruinous.  Th-y 
should  give  fair  support,  too,  to  the 
jobbers,  manufacturers  and  consum- 
ers w  ho  are  loyal  to  them. 

"The  Merchant  and  His  Paper,"  a 
paper  by  Milton  O.  Nelson,  of  Minne- 
apolis, editor  of  the  Commercial  Bul- 
letin and  Northwest  Trade,  was  full  of 
pithy  suggestions.  The  two  papers  {» 
merchant  could  not  afford  to  neglect 
are,  said  Mr.  Nelson,  his  trade  papei' 
and  his  local  paper.  Either  one,  used 
wisely,  was  to  him  a  paying  invest- 
ment. From  the  first,  he  receiv-^d 
valuable  information  along  his  line  of 
trade:  by  the  second,  he  could  mforrn 
the  public  of  what  he  had  to  offer. 
He  should  read  the  one  and  write  for 
the  other  should  subscribe  for  the  one 
and  advertise  in  the  other.  One  fur- 
nished him  new  ideas;  the  other  with 
an  opportunity  to  express  his  own 
ideas.  More  than  half  the  population 
of  any  town  were  bargain  hunters.  A 
good  many  would  spend  10  cents  for 
car  fare  a.id  ride  an  hour  to  save  5 
cents  on  a  bargain  tney  had  seen  ad- 
vertised in  the  paper.  Having  the 
goods  that  would  bear  advertising 
each  week  in  the  local  paper  would  pay 
better  than  any  other  investment  the 
dealer  was  likely  to  make.  Advertising 
successfully  requires  some  money  and 
some  brains.  The  boy  who  fishes  with 
a  stale  minnow  never  has  any  luck. 

Mr.  McGaughey,  of  Minneapolis,  who 
was  to  have  read  a  paper  on  "IV- 
partmeni  Stores,"  was  delayi  d  er. 
rout*'  and  the  i»aper  by  J.  H.  Ten- 
w<Mirde,  id"  HI.  Paul,  on  the  sanie  su'o- 
j.ct  had  not  lieen  forwarded. 

H.  B.  Dow,  of  Duluth,  consented, 
therefore,  to  deliver  his  address  on 
•Should  the  Merchant  Buy  His  Goods 
of  the  Manufacturer  or  Jobber'.'"  which 
was  on  the  program  for  tomorrow  morn- 
ing. The  time  had  been,  Mr.  Dow  said, 
when  it  had  been  necessary  foi"  the 
merchant  to  buy  direct  from  the  manu- 
facturer, owing  to  the  absence  of  a  sys- 
tem of  distribution.  The  manufacturers 
f  lund  it  necessary  to  send  out  armies  of 
high-salaried  agents  to  canv>ass  the 
country,  while  the  merchant  was  forced 
to  stock  up  for  long  periods  In  advance. 
This  method  was  costly  to  both  i>artles. 
Isut  now  the  conditions  had  changed. 
With  the  jobbers  right  at  hand  with 
well-assorted  stocks,  and  with  the  im- 
jiroved  fkicilities  for  transportation, 
overstocking  was  no  longer  a  neces- 
sity. The  retailer  was  now  able  to  stock 
according  to  his  current  requirements. 
Thus  it  could  be  seen  that  the  Interests 
of  the  retailer  and  Jobber  are  ;denti<'al. 
and  they  should  give  each  other  mutual 
support. 

Mr.  Dow,  by  request,  also  read  a  paper 


A  prohibitive  tax  is  out  of  the  question. 
•"Let  us  first  ascertain  what  is  the  cause 
of  the  department  stores'  success:  by 
what  means   do  they  cause  the   buyin;:: 

public  to  patronize  them.  It  is  the 
advertising  they  do." 

This  was  proved  in  Denver,  he  said, 
when  the  newspapers  and  department 
stores  locked  horns.  The  department 
stores  banded  together  and  demanded 
that  the  newsjjapers  cut  advertising 
rates.  The  papers  refused,  and  a  wai 
resulted.  In  nine  days  the  merchants 
surrendered  and  paid  an  advanced  rate 
for  their  advertiseinents.  One  of  the 
big  stores  confessed  to  losing  80  per  cent 
of  its  business  in  one  week.  The  fight 
brought  the  small  stores  to  the  front,  and 
today  they  are  having  a  much  easier 
time,  and  the  Denver  papers  get  more 
advertisements  than  ever,  for  the  small 
dealers  suddenly  found  out  the  value  of 
newspaper  advertising.  The  department 
stores  of  Denver  will  never  again  try 
the  experiment.  They  will  kep  their 
hands  off  the  price. 

But  you  cannot  prevent  the  depart- 
>nent  store  frcin  advertising.  The 
speaker  did,  however,  believe  that  they 
can  be  compelled  to  advertise  legiti- 
mately; can  be  prevented  from  using 
deception  in  advertising.  Germany  has 
a  law  that  prevents  deceptive  advertis- 
ing. Why  cannot  it  be  done  here?  When 
the  depai-tment  stores  ai-e  compelled  to 
kdvertise  truthfully,  to  give  justice  what 
they  agree  to,  then  we  can  compete  with 
them,  he  fiaid. 

A  general  discussion  of  the  question 
followed.  A  letter  from  the  State  Job- 
bt  rs"  association  was  read,  in  which  it 
was  stated  that  the  members  of  the  as- 
sociation are  pledged  not  to  sell  to  any 
departmetU  stores  or  supply  houses. 

The  department  stores  in  Minneapoli.^ 
get  their  goods  from  two  or  three  houses 
in  Chicago,  it  was  explained,  and  the 
grocers  were  urged  to  deal  no  furthei 
with  these  houses. 

John  Powell,  of  MinneafKilis,  said  the 
wholesalers  and  retailers  must  stand 
together.  He  offered  the  following  res- 
olution, wtiich  was  carried: 

"Resolved,  that  it  is  the  .sense  of  th<s 
a.ssociation  that  we  ask  the  merchants 
of  the  state  that  in  consideration  of  the 
state  jobbers  and  manufacturers  sup- 
l)orting  our  interests,  in  return  we  give 
them  our  support,  all  things  being  equal 
in   prices    and   conditions." 

P.  J.  MctJaughey,  of  Minneapolis, 
who  was  to  have  delivered  an  address 
yesterday  afternoon,  but  was  delayed 
en  rojitc,  spoke  this  moining,  biK  suli- 
ject  belnj;  "Buy  Cb  ap:  S -ll  I'heap.  The 
Motto  of  (he  iKpartnient  Stor..  "  As 
he  cuscend  'd  the  platform  there  was  a 
stentorian  inquiry  as  to  whether  any- 
thing ailed  McGaughey.  to  which  there 
was    a    roaring    response    to    the    effect 


that    there   wasn't   a   thing   the   matter 
with  him. 

Mr.  McGaughey  has  a  pleasing  de- 
livery and  his  remarks  brlstl 'd  with 
good  things.  It  gave  him  great  plea- 
sure, he  said,  to  be  present  to  ren  w 
old  acquaintances  and  to  witness  the 
growth  of  the  association  and  what 
had  been  done  among  the  grocers. 
When  he  had  received  an  Invitation  to 
bi'  present,  he  had  felt  assured  that  h' 
should  mei'i  the  same  earnest  \\orlors 
as  whi-ri  the  association  number'il  but 
eJKht  or  ten.  Kach  one  wh(>  ha<l  \»>'n 
identified  with  the  early  struggl-  must 
be  iifoud  of  the  present  niteting. 

To  buy  cheap  and  sell  cheap  hid  m  -t 
with   a    full   anil    fair   discussion,    l-^veiy 
word  said  had  eoinjielled  the  conviction 
that    those   who   spoke   w>  re   capable   of 
handling-    the    subject.        Ther.-        vv-^re 
three  ;ictive   forces  associated    with   or- 
ganization   that    nmsi    In-   ^iven    atten- 
tion.      The   first    was   agita-tion.       The 
si)eaker    renieiidiered    when    a    few   gro- 
cers   met    and    discussed    in      harmony 
their   local    interests,    withimt   fear       of 
meeting    demagogues    or    the    introduc- 
tion   of    any    agency    that    intelligence 
find    loyalty   must   pronounce   injurious 
and  destructive.      Among  the  abuses  to 
be   remedied    was    the    tendency    to   de- 
stroy   profits.       Men    "were    met        who 
thought    themselves    strong    enough    to 
stand  firmly  on  their  own  bases.  Their 
motto  was:  "Every  tub  on  its  own  ooi 
tern."  They  asserted  it  to  be  their  ri.-'ht 
to  do  what  they  would  with  their  own 
stocks.       It   was  granted   at   that    time 
that    there   was   logic   in    that    position, 
but    in    the   growth    of   thought    it    iiad 
come  to  be  recognized  that  the  destruc- 
tion by  a  grocer  of  his  own  profit   w;ts 
In  effect  a  confiscation  of  the  property 
of  all   others  in     his     territory.       That 
could    be   demonstrated.       An    instance 
was   given    of   a    property   owner     who 
should  refuse  to  pay  for  improvements 
beneficial   alike  to  all   in   the  commun- 
ity.     The  benefits  of  th"  Grocers'  asso- 
ciation in  the  Twin  Cities  and   Duluth 
reached    all    grocers.        Those    who    v- 
fused  to  join  the  associations  wer^     in 
the   position   of  enjoying  benefits       for 
which    they   wer>.-   not   willing   to     pay. 
The  object  of  the  assix-iation   was  not 
to  succe-d  at  the  expense  of  others'  in 
terests.       The     sacrifices       made       by 
President  Hanson  and  Secretary  Ding- 
man    proved    that.    (Applause.)       They 
had   gone  out   of   their  own   cities  into 
the  country  to  set  the  work  on  foot  41;  1 
had,  later,  started  the  movement  in  the 
naticm.       The   banner  of     organizalior» 
was    h(  Id  aloft  not  for  the  benefit      of 
states   or   of   nations,    but   of   the   indi- 
vidual  grocer — for   the   individual    gro- 
cer and  not  any  big  firm  or  firms.  Had 
the   association   compensated    for       the 
sacrifice?       If   so,    the    work   <jf   agita- 
tion   had    been    i)erformed.       Tne    ne.vt 
step  was  organization,  and  if  he  under 
stood,    the  object  of  the  convention,   it 
was  a  plea       for      organization.       The 
speaker    had    heard    wisdom    from    the 
lips  of  men  at  the  convention,  who.  six 
months    before,    could    not    have      been 
forced     imto       the       platform.       They 
thought  they  knew  nothing  of  anybody 
else's  business.  Now  they  were  glad  of 
the  opportunityto  get  together  and    dis- 
cuss questions  of  general  interest. 

Already  the  association  had  reached 
and  commanded  the  respect  of  the  job- 
bers and  manufacturers.  There  had 
been  much  heard  of  the  destructive 
measures  of  one  of  the  greatest  cor- 
porations of  modern  times.  The  speak- 
er bethought  him  of  the  success  of  the 
association  in  Minneapolis  in  dealing 
with  that  corporation,  it  having  now- 
become  an  actual  contributor  to  the 
success  of  the  association.  Organiza- 
tion had  been  proven  a  success.  Then 
there  was  education.  In  this,  organiza- 
tion had  been  a  success.  There  was  a 
multiplicity  of  statutes,  all  aiming  to 
reach  wronge  and  benefit  the  country 
that  had  been  laid  aside.  It  had  been 
proven  that  through  association,  reme- 
dies for  wrongs  are  evolved.  Voluntary 
co-operation  was  a  greater  power  to 
right  wrong,  possibly  than  statutes.  The 
interest  of  the  jobbers  and  manufactur- 
ers had  been  aroused  and  they,  too, 
had  organized.  Then  why  should  it  be 
hard  to  reach  any  individual  unless  he 
were  the  ego,  the  individual  who  wa-^ 
willing  to  take  the  benefits  to  his  bu.=!i- 
ness  and  family  and  say,  "Thank  you 
gentlemen,  but  I  won't  pay  for  any  of 
it."  (Laughter  and  applause.)  When 
he  .saw  the  officers  of  the  first  associ- 
ation, the  officers  of  the  association 
sprung  from  their  activity  and  the  of- 
ficers of  the  national  association  all 
before  him,  the  speaker  felt  that  the 
millenium  had  come.  If  there  was  any 
man  who  could  see  no  benefit  in  asso- 
ciation, let  him  alone,  but  when  a  man 
is  found  who  realizes  the  benefits  the 
whole  strength  of  the  local  and  state 
organizations  should  be  pledged  to 
bring  him  in. 

A  letter  from  Fred  Scott,  president 
of  the  Minnesota  Pharmaceutical  as- 
sociation was  read.  It  commended  the 
association  for  the  work  it  is  doing 
especially  in  the  way  of  preventing 
misrepresentation  of  goods  sold.  The 
grocers  were  invited  to  send  delegates 
to  the  convention. 

S.  F.  Boyce  made  a  short  speech  along 
the  department  store  line.  He  spoke 
of  how  the  druggists'  busine.ss  has  been 
cut  into  by  them.  He  said  these  stores 
sell  patent  medicines  cheaper  than 
druggists  can  buy  them.  He  did  not 
know  just  wjiat  can  be  done  to  stop 
this,  but  the  Pharmaceutical  associa- 
tion is  working  on  this  line. 

W.  I.  Nolan,  of  Minneapolis,  enter- 
tained the  grocers  with  a  witty  speech, 
not  upon  the  line  of  any  trade  topic, 
but  as  an  entertainer  and  he  .succeed- 
ed in  convulsing  the  crowd.  He  was 
an  artist  in  dialect  stories. 

J.  R.  Langton,  secretary  of  the  Illin- 
ois association,  addressed  the  associa- 
tion. He  .said  it  was  a  great  pleasure 
to  have  been  here  and  he  felt  that  this 
association  would  grow  to  fine  propor- 
tions. The  Illinois  association  has 
:?rown  wonderfully,  he  said,  and  he  in- 
vited the  Minnesota  association  to  send 
a  delegation  to  its  next  convention. 

President  Shearer  of  the  national  as- 
sociation, again  addressed  the  conven- 
tion. He  said  he  was  very  sorry  to 
have  ti  leave  this  noon.  He  said  he  was 
very  much  pleased  with  this  conven- 
tion and  he  predicted  a  great  future 
for  the  association.  He  said  he  would 
go  back  to  take  up  the  national  work 
again  greatly  encouraged  by  what  he 
had  seen  here.  He  could  see  a  great 
unanimity  of  puri)ose  and  concerted  ac- 
tion among  the  officers  of  the  associa- 
tion, and  if  this  Is  continued  he  pre- 
dicted that  this  association  would  rank 
with  the  best  in  the  country.  He  coun- 
seled the  association  not  to  be  dis- 
couraged for  no  great  work  has  ever 
been  accomplished  without  difficulties 
He  wished  them  all  God  speed  in  their 
work. 

A  vote  of  thanks  and  three  cheers 
were  extended  the  Illinois  delegation 
for  its  i)re.sence  at  the  convention,  on 
motion  of  Mr.  Menellley.  of  Minneapo- 
lis. 

After  this  the  convention  adjourned 
to  afternoon.

Outcome  of  Suit  Against  the   Street 
Railway  Company. 

In  the  case  of  Frank  Winjanza  vf.  the 
Duluth  Street  Railway  company,  in  the 
municipal  court,  the  jury  returned  a 
verdict  for  $100  fcr  the  iilaintiff  at  S 
o'clock  last  evening,  after  three  hours' 
dflibtration.  The  action  was  based  on 
injuiies  received  by  the  plaintiff's  son 
as  the  result  of  being  crowded  off  a 
Lakeside  car,  Sept.  S,  because  of  the  in- 
secure fastening  of  the  rear  platform- 
gate. 

The  complaint  alleged  negligence  m 
the  part  of  the  company  in  not  provid- 
ing enough  cars  so  that  overcrowding 
was  necessary.  It  was  alleged  that  the 
plaintiff's  son  could  find  room  only  on 
the  platform,  and  that  he  was  forcei 
against  the  gate  l)y  the  jam.  The  sum 
of  $31.50  for  the  loss  of  time  was  asked, 
wit'i  exemplary  damages,  the  whole 
amounting  to  S.'Hio.

and  the  owners  of  jiroperty  abutting  on

Maine  Inquiry's  Result. 


NOTHING  HELD  BACK 


The  President  Has  Given  Out 

Alt  Known  Facts  About 

the  Maine. 


iWashi^ipton,  Feb'.  25. — Undoubtedly 
there  is  a  quieter  feeling'  manifested  at 
the  navy  department  over  the  Maine  af- 
fair as  time  passes.  This  is  the  tenth 
day  since  the  noble  warship  was  de- 
stroyed, but  the  officers  are  willing  to 
wait  in  patience,  at  the  admonition  of 
the  president  and  Secretary  Long  un- 
til the  facts  relating  to  the  explosion 
are  fully  developed. 

They  are  fully  on  their  guard  against 
the  acceptance  of  unauthorized  state- 
ments of  the  conditions  at  Havana  and 
the  daily  developments,  being  aware  of 
the  efficiency  of  the  precautions  adopt- 
ed by  the  court  of  inquiry  to  prevent 
the  premature  disclosure  of  the  pro- 
ceedings. Therefore  the  published 
statement  that  the  explosion  had  been 
demonstrated  to  the  office  of  exterior 
origin  by  the  discovery  of  the  upheaved 
double  bottom  of  the  Maine  did  not 
cause  much  of  a  stir  because  the  offi- 
cials could  not  conceive  that  the  alert 
members  of  the  court  of  inquiry  and 
their  assistants  in  Havana  had  over- 
looked a  fact  so  important  as  this, 
notwithstanding  it  must  have  been  per- 
fectly apparent  for  the  past  week  to 
any  one  who  came  near  the  wreck. 

Capt.  Crowinshield  turned  up  at  the 
navy  department  today  and  took  the 
helm  in  the  bureau  of  navigation,  re- 
lieving Capt.  Dickins,  who  has  distin- 
guished himself  and  earned  the  thanks 
of  the  secretary  for  the  untiring  vigi- 
lance with  which  he  has  managed  all  of 
the  details  of  the  Maine  affair  that  have 
fallen  upon  the  navigation  burau  and 
of  the  newspaper  men  for  the  patience 
and  frankness  with  which  he  has  mr't 
their  many  inquiries. 

Capt.  Crowinshield's  absence  has 
been  made  the  basis  for  the  conjecture 
that  he  has  been  on  secret  service  for 
the  navy  department  in  Cuba  and  coior 
was  lent  to  this  impression  by  the  fact 
that  it  was  not  possible  until  a  late 
hour  yesterday  to  secure  from  any  one 
of  the  officials  a  statement  of  the  na- 
ture of  his  business  in  the  South,  for 
it  was  known  that  he  had  arrived  in 
Tampa  on  the  Montgomery  from  the 
West  Indies. 

The  officer  himself  was  not  very  com- 
municative as  to  the  details  of  his  trip, 
but  he  did  say  that  he  had  been  in  San 
Domingo.  He  had  gone  there  on  the 
Brooklyn  with  his  son  when  the  ship 
started    for    St.    Thomas.  While    in 

San  Domingo  he  received  news  of  the 
disaster  to  the  Maine  and  took  advan- 
tage of  the  opportunity  presented  by 
the  appearance  in  San  Domingo  of  the 
cruiser  Montgomery-  to  make  his  way 
back  to  the  United  States  and  to  Wash- 
ington. 

There  was  no  word  from  either  Capt. 
Sigsbee  or  Consul  General  Lee  this 
morning  at  the  navy  and  state  depart- 
ments. The  monitor  TexniT  is  ly'"^ 
in  Hampton  roads,  andit  is  said  it 
the  navy  department  that  she  ha?*  no 
orders  as  y?t.  The  impression  is  that 
she  will  remain  in  that  place,  which  Is 
one  of  great  strategic  value  in  case  of 
need,  at  least  until  the  monitor  Puritan 
is  readv  to  take  her  place. 

The  Puritan  is  almost  twice  as  big 
as  the  Terror,  being  a  6000-ton  vesse'. 
very  little  less  than  the  Maine's  size. 
She  has  12-inch  guns  in  her  turrets 
against  10-inch  guns  for  the  Terror  and 
is  altogether  the  most  formidablc- 
double-turreted  monitor  in  the  world  in 
smooth  water. 

This  qualification  does  not  mean  that 
she  is  unable  to  keep  the  sea,  but  only 
that  from  her  great  breadth  and  light 
draft  she  is  so  susceptible  to  the  wavp 
motion  that  it  is  difficult  to  make  good 
work  with  her  guns  in  a  seaway,  bhe 
is  now  having  new  furnaces  fitted  to 
her  boilers  at  the  Norfolk  navy  yards, 
the  crowns  of  the  furnaces  having 
come  down  some  time  ago  owing  to  the 
fact  that  the  boilers  are  the  same  that 
were  built  for  her  when  she  was  ori- 
ginally laid  down  many  years  ago. 

It  is  said  at  the  navy  department 
that  she  will  be  ready  for  service  about 
March  4.  Capt.  Sigsbe2  asked  yester- 
day whether  he  should  endeavor  to  sav» 
the  old  material  in  the  superstructure 
of  the  Maine,  which  from  the  pictures 
appears  to  be  heaped  up  over  the  boiln- 
spaces.  He  has  been  told  to  let  this  go 
as  it  is  valuable  only  as  old  iron,  which 
would  not  pay  to  bring  back  to  the 
United  States.

receives  the  report  of  the  court  of  in-

will  make  public  with  his  conclusions

WOINDED  DOING  WELL. 

Fern   Is    Only    American    Vessel   ot

Havana.  Fob.  25.— The  United  States 
lighthouse  tender  Mangrove  is  still  here, 
and  the  naval  court  of  inquiry  continues 
its  usual  sesjions  today.  Its  members 
hope  to  get  away  to  Key  West  late  this 
evening  or  early  tomorrow  morning,  but 
they  are  not  sure  which  it  will  be.  It 
is  probable  '.hat  the  testimony  of  the 
civilian  witnesses  did  not  add  to  the 
court's  knowledge  of  the  circumstances5 
attending  th?  explosion,  of  the  causes 
of  which  th?se  witnesses  could  know 
nothing,  as  they  were  quite  a  distance 
away  at  the  time  of  the  occurrence. 

The  woundt.'d  are  reported  to  be  doing 
well  today.

of  the  wreck  as  it  is  possible  to  handle 
in  advance  of  the  arrival  of  the 
stronger  tugs  and  derricks  from  the 
North. 

It  is  believed  the  divers  from  the 
fieet  and  the  Right  Arm  will  remain  at 
work  when  the  Mangrove  leaves.  The 
Fern  will  be  the  only  United  States  ves- 
sel in  the  hirbor  after  the  Mangrove 
goes.  The  pablic  generally  will  be  ex- 
cluded from  official  vessels,  especially

bo  presented  by  the  correspondents  be- 
fore admission  is  given  them.

GETTING  MORE  EXCITED. 

Spanish    Piess    Advocates   Striking 
the  First  Blow. 

London,  Feb.  25.— According  to  a  cable 
dispatch  fron  Madrid,  reports  received 
from  there  to  the  United  States  that 
public  opinion  in  the  latter  country  Is 
becoming  more  excited  owing  to  the  im- 
pression that  the  loss  of  the  Maine  i.s 
not  due  to  an  accident,  are  "restirring 
popular  feel  ng  here"  (in  Madrid),  anc. 
the  conviction  is  Increasing  in  ministeri- 
al circles  that  the  worst  must  be  ex- 
pected. Continuing  the  special  dispatch 
says:  "The  government  has  no  choice 
if  the  United  States  adopts  a  threaten- 
ing attitude,  for  the  prospect  of  war 
is  popular  with  all  parties  aad  the  more 
excitable  newspapers  are  already  urg- 
ing the  governmenc  to  take  measures 
to  enable  Si)ain  to  strike  the  first  and 
decisive  blow.

The  President  Has  Made   All   Known 
Facts  Public. 

Chicago,  Feb.  25.— H.  H.  Kohlsaat. 
who  is  very  close  to  President  McKin- 
ley,  publishes  the  following  in  the  Post 
today: 

"It  can  be  stated  positively  that  nei- 
ther the  president  nor  Secretary  Long 
is  in  possession  of  a  .sMngle  fact  or  re- 
port In  r-gard  to  the  Maine  disaster 
that  they  have  not  made  public,  and 
while  they  cannot  confirm  or  deny  the 
sensational  stories  daily  published 
throughout  the  country  as  to  the  prog- 
ress of  the  court  of  inquiry,  they  know 
that  none  of  the  evidenc-  or  conclusions 
of  the  court  will  be  made  public  in  ad- 
vance of  the  official  report.  Kvery 
official  connected  with  the  investiga- 
tion intii  the  cause  of  the  disa*iter  to 
th'-  Maine,  from  Capt.  Sampson  down 
to  the  divers  and  linemen,  is  under  oath 
of  secrecy.  For  the  time  being  the 
divers  are  under  naval  discipline.  When 
above  water  each  is  attended  by  a 
petty  officer  of  the  court  of  inquiry. 
The  Maine  itself  is  safely  guarded  from 
unofficial  approach.  These  facts  ac- 
count for  the  remarkable  equanimity 
with  which  the  American  people  real 
the  daily  sensations  from  Havana  and 
the  stcK-k- jobbing  forelxKlin-gs  of  war 
from  Washington. 

"This  is  absolutely  true:  President 
McKinley  knows  nothing  about  the 
wreck  of  the  Maine  or  the  testimony  as 
as  to  its  cause  that  he  has  not  mad'^ 
|)UbVii'.  He  will  not  withhold  any  in- 
formation when  he  gels  it.  He  has  not 
comp  to  any  conclu.sion  as  to  whether 
th('  disastci  was  accidental  or  designed, 
or  whether  it  was  caused  by  an  Inter- 


Maine    Disiister    Current    Topic    of 
Vital  Interest. 

Washington.  Feb.  25.— The  first  fur 
meeting  of  Ihe  cabinet  for  some  weeks 
was  held  today,  both  Secretaries  Alger 
and  Sherman,  who  TTave  been  sick,  be 
ing  present.  The  cabinet  talked  about 
the  Maine  disaster  at  some  length  as  a 
current  topic  of  vital  interest,  but  no  ac- 
tion was  taken.  No  intimation  it  was 
stated,  has  yet  come  from  the  court  ol 
inquiry  as  t3  how  long  it  will  be  occu- 
pied wfth  its  work  and  consequently 
no  conclusion  can  he  reached  as  to 
when  its  report  will  be  available.  The 
situation  otherwise,  it  was  stated,  is 
unchanged  £.nd  after  the  cabinet  meet 
Ing  It  was  announced  that  there  wa? 
no  news  at  the  state  or  navy  depart- 
ments that  added  anything  to  the  sit 
uatlon  as  .shown  by  yesterday's  dis- 
patches. 

ANOTHER  WAR  RUMOR. 
Norfolk,  Va..  Feb.  25.— The  rumor  that 
the  government  is  securing  from  rail- 
way companies  estimates  of  their  ca- 
pacity for  n-ioving  troops  and  munitions 
of  war  between  Atlantic  and  gulf  ports 
and  the  int.^rlor  is  officially  denied  by 
Vice  President  St.  John  of  the  Seaboard 
Air  line,  whose  road  was  mentioned  in 
the  reports. 

DEPENDS  ON  NELSON. 

Can  Defeat    Bankruptcy   Legislation 
at  This  Session. 

Washington.  Feb.  25.— (Special  to 
The  Herald.)— The  enactment  of  a 
bankruptcy  law  at  this  session  de- 
pends almo;5t  entirely  upon  the  action 
of  Senator  Nelson.  He  has  stated  that 
unless  his  :'olleagues  from  the  senate 
on  the  conference  committee  are  op- 
posed to  the  house  bill  he  will  not  serve. 
Nelson  is  fcelng  urged  to  take  a  con- 
servative cjurse  on  this  matter  and 
accept  any  erasonable  "1)111.  It.  is  con- 
ceded that  if  bankruptcy  legislation 
fails  at  the  present  session.  Nelson  will 
be  the  mosi    blamed. 

TITLE  TO  SCHOOL  LANDS. 

Bill  Reported  Favorably  By  the  House 
Committee. 

Washington.  Feb.  25.— (Special  to 
The  Herald  )— The  house  committee  on 
public  lands  today  favorably  reported 
a  bill  intended  to  enable  the  states  to 
give  clear  titles  to  purchasers  of  school 
lands.  It  provides  that  all  school  lands 
shall  be  assmmcd  to  be  non-mineral  in 
character,  if  no  mineral  claim  has  been 
located  upcn  them  at  the  time  the 
state  was  admitted  into  the  Union. 

PRESIDIINTrAL    NOMINATIONS. 

Washington.  Feb.  25.— The  president 
today  sent  the  following  nominations 
to  the  senate: 

Charles  J  Haubert,  to  be  marshal  of 
the  United  States  eastern  district  of 
New   York. 

John  Grait,  marshal  eactem  district 
of  Texas. 

War— Col.  H.  C.  Corbln,  to  be  adju- 
tant generul  with  rank  of  brigadier 
general. 

To  be  collectors  of  customs— Moses 
Dillon,  for  the  district  of  Paso  Del 
Norte,  Texas:  James  J.  Haynes,  district 
of  Corpus  •Chrlsti.  Texas. 


Washington,  Feb.  25. — The  house  to- 
day resumed  consideration  of  the  sun- 
dry civil  bin.  Quite  a  debate  developed 
on  a  motion  to  strike  out  the  appropria- 
tion of  $133,000  for  work  at  Oakland, 
California,  its  opponents  alleging  that 
no  contract  had  yet  been  made  for  the 
work  and  asserting  that  the  river  and 
harbor  bill  was  to  be  suppressed  and 
a  favored  few  given  appropriations  In 
the  sundry  civil   bill. 

Representative  Moody  made  an  at- 
tack upon  an  appropriation  in  the  sun- 
dry civil  bill  of  $360,000  for  Rockland, 
Me.,  harbor,  which  is  in  Mr.  Dingley's 
district.  He  said  he  was  willing  to  sub- 
mit to  economy  and  to  honest  leadership 
but  for  one  he  proposed  to  rebel  against 
the  leadership  that  gave  such  an  appro- 
priation to  Rockland,  Maine,  an  insig- 
nificant port  that  could  be  buried  in 
Boston  harbor. 

Mr.  Grosvenor  attacked  the  appro- 
priation and  declared  that  If  the  house 
allowed  these,  river  and  harbor  items  to 
go  into  the  sundry  civil  bill  there  would 
be  no  river  and  harbor  bill.  He  was 
amazed,  he  said,  at  the  action  of  the 
appropriation  committee  and  insisted 
that  all  the  members  snould  be  on  an 
equality. 

Mr.  Cannon  replied  to  the  attack,  de- 
claring that  some  of  the  most  vicious 
river  and  harbor  items  ever  reported 
came  from  the  committee  when  he 
(Grosvenor)  was  a  member  of  It.  He 
said  that  from  25  to  33  per  cent  of  the 
money  appropriated  by  a  bill  he  helpeiJ 
to  report  had  been  worse  than  thrown 
away. 

Mr.  Dlngley  answered  the  personal 
attack  made  upon  him.  The  Rockland 
Improvement,  he  said,  was  not  simply 
an  Improvement,  it  included  provision 
for  a  breakwater  and  a  harbor  of  refuge 
-just  such  another  as  was  being  built 
at  Sandy  Bar  in  Mr.  Moody's  district 
and  on  which  $750,000  had  been  spent, 
.ie  indignantly  repudiated  the  intima- 
tion that  he  had  ever  suggested  or  in- 
timated that  tWs  appropriation  should 
be  made  In  this  bill.  He  presumed  it 
had  been  made  upon  the  recommenda- 
tions of  the  corps  of  engineers  in  the 
public  interest. 

Mr.  Catchings  defended  the  action  of 
th"?    appropriation    committee. 

IN  THE  SENATE. 
Washington,  Feb.  25.— The  senate  to- 
iay  repumed  debate  on  the  case  of  H. 
W.  Corbett,  claiming  the  senatorshlp 
irom  "Oregon.  Mr.  Teller  favored  the 
resolution  presented  by  the  majority 
against  seating  Mr.   Corbett. 

TAWNEY  IMPATIENT. 


Thinks  the  President  Is  Too 

Slow  on  the  Cuban 

Question. 

Washington.  Feb.  25.— (Special  to 
Ihe  Herald.)— Representative  Tawrey 
is  not  satisfied  with  the  course  of  thj 
administration  on  the  Cuban  question. 
He  thinks  the  president  is  acting  too 
slow  and  that  congress  is  being  domin- 
t"d  by  the  president  and  Speaker 
Reed,  which  indicates  anything  but 
,.r.edy  action.  i' 

Mr.  Tawney  has  some  strong  views 
of  hds  own  on  this  matter  and  is  lik?ly 
to  make  a  sensational  speech  on  the 
question  in  the  house  in  the  nar  fu.- 
ture. 

THE  FREE  HOMES  BILL. 


Congressman  Eddy  Is  Still  Hopeful  of 
Its  Success. 

Washington,  Feb.  25.— (Special  to  The 
Herald.)— Congressman  Eddy  is  hopeful 
that  the  house  will  accept  the  free 
homes  amendment  to  the  Indian  appro- 
priation bill.  This  amendment  has  been 
referred  to  the  secretary  of  the  In- 
terior for  a  report,  but  Mr.  Eddy  is  of 
the  opinion  that  he  will  make  an  adverse 
report. 

Mr.  Eddy  says  that  he  will  make  a 
speech  when  the  bill  is  again  brought 
Into  the  house,  and  hopes  thereby  to 
convince  some  of  the  opponents  of  the 
me£isure  of  the  error  of  their  ways. 


MERELY  A  SUBTERFUGE. 


A  Scheme  to   Help  Out  Republican 
Congressmen. 

Washington,  Feb.  25. — (Special  to 
The  Heraid.)— There  will  be  no  river 
and  harbor  1)111  at  this  session,  but  one 
win  be  reported  to  the  house  from  the 
committee  and  j>assed  at  the  short  ser- 
sltn.  This  is  merely  a  subterfuge  to 
help  out  Republican  congressmen  in  cer- 
tain districts.  Duluth  is  well  tak-^n 
care  of  in  the  sundry  civil  bill,  being 
under  the  continuous  contract  system. 

WESTERN  BASEBALLERS. 


Schedule  After  July  Apparently  Not 
Quite  Acceptable. 

Kansas  City,  Feb.  25.— The  Western 
league  baseball  magnates  are  still  in 
session  and  it  seems  probable  that  they 
will  not  be  able  to  agree  on  the  sched- 
ule for  1898  for  tonight  and  possibly 
not  for  another  day.  The  report  of  the 
schedule  committee  presented  to  the 
regular  meeting  yesterday  was  the  sole 
topic  of  discussion  today.  There  ap- 
pears to  be  no  objection  to  the  schedule 
for  the  earlier  part  of  the  season,  the 
dates  up  to  Ihe  Fourth  of  July  being 
satisfactory  to  all.  An  undercurrent 
of  discontent  is  apparent  and  it  may 
result  in  a  prolonged  meeting.

QUESTION 
SETTLED 

Explosion  That  Wrecked   the 

Maine  Without  Doubt  Came 

From  Underneath. 


KEEL  STOVE  UPWARD 


Evidence    of    Naval     Expert 

Poweilson   Fully    Sustains 

Fhat  of  Divers. 


New  York.  Feb.  2r>.— A  dispatch  to  the 
Ht  raid  from  Havana  says  there  is  no 
longer  any  reason  tL>  iloubi  that  the  ex- 
plosion which  wrecked  the  Maine  camr- 
from  underneath  the  Vt  ssel.  and  that  hor 
inasazines  had  nothing  to  do  with  the 
initial  explosion,  and  played  a  much 
ssmaller  part  in  the  s:c  neral  disaster  than 
was  at  tirs:  supposed. 

The  evidence  that  has  served  to  con- 
vince the  board  was  obtained  by  En- 
sign Powellson.  an  i>fJict-r  attached  to 
Ihe  Fern.  Mr.  Powellson  was  formerly 
in  the  construction  corps,  and  took  a  -- 
years'  special  course  in  the  Glasgow 
school  of  naval  architecture.  He  is. 
therefore,  a  competent  witness. 

What  he  discn-ered  was  that  thi^  for- 
ward part  of  the  keel  of  the  Maine,  wi.h 
its  ribs  and  plates,  was  stove  upward  .so 
far  that  parts  of  the  shattered  double 
bottom  show  out  of  water,  and  in  places 
sections  of  the  sreen  painted  outer  hull 
are  visible.  Corroborative  evidence 
Kiven  by  Ensign  Powellson.  and  of  equal 
slsrnificance  and  importance,  is  the  result 
of  the  close  examination  made  by  the 
divers.  What  they  found  indicates  that 
the  explosion  came  from  a  point  beneath 
thf  keel.  A  plumb  line  dropped  from  a 
point  just  forward  of  the  conning  towei 
would  have  laid  the  lead  exactly  on  t!:e 
spot  where  the  explosion  occurred  that 
hove  keel  plates  and  ribs  almost  to  the 
surface.  The  main  force  of  the  explo- 
sion seems  to  have  been  exerted  slightly 
on  the  p-irt  side  of  the  vessel.  Coll'v- 
tively  these  now  indicate  that  the  con- 
tents of  the  reserve  6-inch  magazine 
were  exploded  by  the  initial  blast,  and 
that  there  was  no  explosion  in  either  of 
the  other  two. 

In  the  reserve  magazine  was  stored 
2500  pounds  of  powder  in  copper  tanks, 
fach  of  which  contained  200  pounds. 
Several  of  these  tanks  have  been  found 
by  the  divers,  all  in  crushed  and  shapo- 
Itss  masscs.  It  is  important  to  note  that 
in  the  6-inch  and  10-inch  tanks  re- 
covered, the  excelsior  used  for  packing 
the  charges  shows  no  injury  from  flame 
or  gases.  The  ^owder  siouc- 1  in  the  6- 
inch  r^LBerve  magazine  was  used  for 
saluting  purposes  only. 

The  undeipart  of  the  10-inch  maga- 
zine is  wholly  inaccessible  to  divers.  In 
the  upper  part  is  tightly  wedged  a  mass 
of  powder  cylinders,  too  heavy  for  diver<5 
tj  extricate,  but  apparently  containing 
unexploded  charges  of  powder.  The 
Dow  torpedo  boat  of  the  Maine  has  been 
located  in  the  wreck.  It  lies  in  the 
debris  forward,  submerged  several  feet 
under  water. 

The  hull  is  imbedded  in  the  mud  to 
the  depth  of  eight  feet.  The  divers  sink 
to  their  armpits  in  the  mud.  and  have 
the  grealtest  difficulty  in  prosecuting 
their  work.  Those  engaged  in  the  for- 
ward part  of  the  ship  are  in  charge  of 
Gunner  Charles  Morton,  an  officer  spe- 
cially detailed  from  the  flagship  New 
York  for  that  purpose,  and  who  has  the 
reputation  of  being  the  most  efficient  or 
his  rank. 


BIZZ\RDS  AND  SPANIARDS. 


Both  Hang  Round  Wreck  In  Repulsive 
Fashion. 

New  York,  Feb.  25.— Passengers  on 
the  steamship  Concho,  that  has  just  ar- 
rived from  Havana,  say  that  the  sight 
of  the  Maine  was  horrifying  from  the 
evidence  the  wreckage  bore  of  the 
power  of  the  explosion  and  the  carnage 
wrought.  Buzzards  hang  about  the 
wreck,  the  Spanish  officers  making  no 
effort  to  drive  them  away,  though  their 
presence    of    the   sickeningly    offensive. 

Spaniards  who  rowed  about  in  boat'' 
did  not  conceal  their  satisfaction  at  th^^ 
American  warship's  fate,  and  sometimes 
were  seen  shaking  their  fists  at  the 
flag  that  hung  at  half-mast  above  th^ 
hulk.

J  the 


Kxport  bicycli.^ta

distances.  In  years 
to  come  the  iniicy- 
cle  may  become 
-•  as  common  a 
mode  of  loco-

bicycle.  Only  a 
-  "^  few  years  ago 
people  w  o  II 1  d

idea  that 
all  the  worUl 
would  shortly 
be  awheel. 
It  is  not  in  me- 
chanics alone  that 
the  world  is  making  rapid  progress.  Not 
many  years  ago  all  physicians  pronounced 
consumption  an  incurable  disease.  Today 
a  large  proportion  of  people  recogni?:e  that 
it  is  a  distinctly  curable  disease.  Doctor 
Pierce's  Golden  Medical  Discovery-  cures 
o8  per  cent,  of  all  cases  of  consumption. 
It  has  stood  the  test  for  thirty  years.  Thou- 
sands of  people  who  were  given  up  by  their 
doctors,  and  had  lost  all  hope  owe  their 
lives  to  this  marvelous  remedy.  It  acts 
directly  on  the  lungs,  driving  out  all  im- 
purities and  disease  germs.  It  restores  the 
appetite,  corrects  all  disorders  of  the  diges- 
tion, strengthens  the  weak  stomach,  makes 
the  assimilation  of  the  life-giving  ekments 
of  the  food  perfect,  invigorates  the  liver, 
purifies  the  blood  and  tones  the  nerves.  It 
ts  the  great  blood-maker  and  flesh-builder. 
It  does  not  make  flabby  flesh  like  cod  liver 
oil,  but  the  firm,  muscular  tissue  of  abso- 
lute health.  .\n  honest  dealer  will  not 
offer  vou  an  inferior  substitute  for  the  sake 
of  a  little  added  profit. 

Miss  Mary  Whitman,  of  Kast  Dickinson,

months  I  have  had  a  t><a<l  cough,  and  inster.d  of

NEWS  FROM  SKAGUAY. 


Thousands  of   People    Pouring    Into 
the   Country. 

Port  Townsend,  Wash.,  Feb.  25.— The 
steamer  Pioneer,  with  the  bark  Colorado, 
returned  at  midnight  from  Skaguay.  The 
Pioneer's  officers  report  both  Dyea  and 
Skaguay  as  lively  but  law-abidin.g. 
Capt.  Neilson  says  that  whil:-  thousands 
of  peopK  are  landing  at  Dyea,  the  popu- 
lation docs  not  appear  to  materially  in- 
crease, as  the  majority  of  those  landing 
there  are  destined  for  interior  Alaska, 
and  are  pushing  forward  with  little  de- 
lay. 

Both  the  Chilkoot  and  White  passes 
are  reported  in  good  condition.  On  th? 
way  down  the  Pioneer  passed  twenty- 
four  different  vessels  en  route  to  Alaska, 
all  crowded  with  passenegrs  and 
freight.  The  Pioneer  experienced  th-i 
worst  weather  that  has  prevailed  in  the 
North  Pacific  for  many  years,  continu- 
ous high  winds  and  blinding  snow 
storms  prevailing. 

PANAMA  CANAL. 


Pacific  Terminus  Dock   Reported   to 
Be  Completed. 

AVashington,  Feb.  2.5.— Consular  Clerk 
Murphy  reports  to  the  state  department 
under  date  of  Colon,  Feb.  8,  the  comple. 
tion  of  LaBoca  dock,  the  Pacific  ter- 
minus of  the  Panama  canal.  He  says 
that  as  the  tide  runs  twenty-five  feet 
there,  the  value  of  the  work  is  yet  tJ 
be  demonstrated. 

At  low  tide  the  shore  is  exposed  for  a 
rnile  out  to  sea,  and  a.s  to  whether  or 
ret  vessels  will  use  the  do(  k  time  alone 
v.ill  prove.  The  officer  says  that  if  the 
v.ork  of  constructing  the  canal  were  in 
American  hands,  it  could  be  completed 
in  the  course  of  a  few  years  at  a  moder- 
ate cost. 


MINNESOTA  WINS  PRIZE. 


First 


Resolutions  Passed  Covering   Every- 
thing But   Independence. 

New  York.  Fel).  25.— A  dispatch  to 
the  Tribune  from  Havana  says  thit 
Capt.  Sampson's  naval  lx)ard  has  been 
abl-  to  gain  the  fullest  information, 
showing  that  an  accident  through  lack 
of  discipline  was  impossible.  This 
branch  of  the  inquiry  brings  out  that 
th<^  officers  and  crew  of  the  Maine  Wr-r  ■ 
under  the  strictest  discipline,  although 
on  thf^  surface  the  visit  of  th-  Main'- 
Avas  fri-rudly.  Capt.  Sigsbee  ha<l  tak'-n 
proper  precautitms  against  hostil:;  ac- 
tion. 

While  the  divers'  examinations  show- 
that  some  fif  the  smaller  niagazin<s 
may  have  "xploded,  the  fact  that  th" 
main  l'»-inch  magazinf  was  ii<>l  ex- 
idoded  Sf  ms  to  have  been  conclusively 
established. 

The  Spanish  authorities  adhen-  t.> 
^Y)^■  st"»ry  of  a  fire  in  the  ship  lirst  au'l 
th-'  exT'losion  aftt-rward.  Thf  rt'sult  of 
thf  divers'  work  is  conclusive  against 
that  th'^/ory.  It  is  known  that  what 
th  y  have  found  in  the  interior  of  the 
wreck  has  demolished  the  theory  of  lire 
before  the  explosion. 

In  the  uncf-rtainty  of  relations  with 
the  I'nlted  States  the  importance  of 
the  reont  action  of  the  autonomist 
party  is  overlooked.  Its  central  com- 
mittee has  formally  approved  the  plan, 
which  is  a  confession  of  the  failure  of 
the  present  scheme  of  autonomy  and 
an  offf»r  to  the  insurgents  to  cono  d  • 
everything  except  the  withdrawal  of 
the  Spanish   flag. 

Its  significance  lies  in  the  fact  that 
Senor  Govin.  a  member  of  the  autono- 
mist cabln.^t.  was  a  leading  spirit  in 
th=>  me  ting  and  ofTered  the  resolutions 
for  treating  with  thp  insurgents, 
which  include  a  series  of  pnjposition'i 
outlined  by  Giberga  weeks  ago.  when 
the  radical  autonomist  pai  ty  was 
formed.  These  c-over  everything  but 
inri  pendrnct--.  These       aul<mninists 

have  no  authority  t>»  represent  Si>ain 
in  the  neRi>tiation.s.  and  give  no  guar- 
antee that  Spain  would  yield  the  con- 
re.ssions  offered.  The  resolutions  are 
in  one  sjUso  an  answ  r  to  the  complaint 
from  Madrid  that  the  autonomist  cabi- 
net was  doing  nothing  to  bring  the  in- 
surgents to  ncgoliatjons.  If  negoti- 
ations are  ever  actually  <ipened  with 
the  insurgents,  Govin  and  the  radical 
autonomists'  propositions  will  be  re- 
jected.

MAKK   ANOTHFPv  CUT. 

Portland.  Oif..  Feb.  25.  -  The  Canadian 
Paciflc  railway  has  announced  a  cut  of 
$5  in  the  faro  between  Portland  and  the 
East,  making  the  rate  the  same  as  that 
between  Puget  sound  points  and  the

New  York,  Feb.  25.— A  dispatch  to 
the  Herald  from  Panama  says  advices 
received  today  from  Costa  Rica  state 
that  at  a  banquet  given  on  Sunday  night 
President  Iglesias,  in  a  speech,  said 
that  the  situation  between  Costa  Rica 
and  Nicaragua  was  such  now  that  war 
is  inevitable. 

Further  advices  from  Cocta  Rica  say 
that  on  the  night  of  Feb.  20  there  was 
a  large  popular  demonstration.  Mcjre 
than  5000  persons  showed  their  approval 
of  the  attitude  of  the  government  to 
ward  Nicaragua,  and  more  troops  were 
.sent  on  Feb.  20  to  the  frontier. 

Hostilities  with  Nicaragua  are  ex- 
pected at  any  moment.  Mfiny  promin- 
ent members  of  the  American  colony 
have  offered  to  aid  the  government  with 
men  and  money,  one  Jaime  Bennett,  of- 
fered to  give  $60,000  paying  $5000 
monthly.  The  French  colony  has  also 
proposed  to  take  up  arms  in  defense  of 
Costa  Kica  in  the  event  of  war.  Don 
Pedro  Perez  Zeldon  has  left  Costa  llica 
for  Salvador  via  Panama  as  a  special 
confidential  agent  to  the  great  repub- 
lic of  Central  America.  Justo  A.  Facio, 
suti-secretary  of  foreign  relations  has 
been  sent  to  Guatemala  on  a  special 
mission. 

Since  the  unsuccessful  revolution 
broke  out  in  Nicaragua  on  Feb.  5. 
which  President  Zelaya  charges  the 
Costa  Kica  government  with  aiding 
there  has  been  little  communication 
with  the  Costa  Itican  capital.  Messages 
received  here  are  in  plain  language 
at  sender's  risk  and  subject  to  censor- 
ship. 
Referring  to  this  the  Herald  correspon- 
dent in  San  Jose,  Costa  Rica  writes, 
under  date  of  Feb.  13:  "There  has  been 
ro  communication  by  cable  with  the 
office  of  San  Juan  Del  Sur  since  Feb. 
a,  when  the  revolution  in  Nicaragua 
started.  Affairs  with  Nicaragua  at^e 
growing  more  serious  every  day.  Presi- 
dent Zelaya  has  always  desired  war 
with  Costa  Rica  and  it  now  seems  very 
near.  Costa  Rica  now  has  2000  men  on 
the  frontier  and  by  next  week,  will  have 
from  5000  to  6000.  This,  however,  is  only 
a  preventive  measure,  and  it  will, 
perhaps,  end  in  smoke.  This  govern- 
ment denies  aiding  the  Nicaraguan 
rebels.  They  were  only  tolerated  on 
Costa  Rican  soil  within  its  limits  of  the 
law. 

"A  special  commissioner  arrived  at 
Colon  a  few  days  ago  with  a  dispatch 
from  Washington.  Replies  sent  to  Port 
Limon  by  the  United  States  steamship 
Newport.  It  is  stated  that  the  same 
commissioner  had  a  private  conference 
with  the  government  authorities  here. 
He  objects  to  enlist  Colombia  on  Costa 
liica's  side,  .should  the  greater  repub- 
lic of  Central  America  or  the  triple 
alliance    c'.eclare    war    against    her." 

CLAY  CLEMENT  AS  A  KISSER. 


His   Stage   Work    In    That  Direction 
Breaks  Ip  His  Show. 

Clay  Clement,  the  actor,  who  made 
a  great  hit  in  Duluth  last  fall  and  who 
formed  a  great  many  personal  acciuain- 
lances  here  is  getting  some  advertising 
now  as  the  following  special  fnjm  Jop- 
iin.  Mo.,  to  the  St.  Louis  Post-Dispatch 
shows: 

"Clay  Clement  and  his  company  ap- 
peared in  Joplin  Wednesday  night  and 
a  quarrel  among  them  resulted  in  the 
resignation  of  his  leading  lady.  Miss 
O'Malley,  whose  stage  name  is  Nell 
McEwen,  and  her  sister  and  father. 
The  trouble  grew  out  of  Mr.  Clement's 
fervent  kis.ses  planted  upon  the  lips  of 
Miss  McEwen.  Clement's  wife  travels 
with  him  as  Miss  Kenwyn,  and  it  seems 
she  objects  to  her  husband's  fiery  oscu- 
.ation.s.  Last  Wednesday  night  Clem- 
ent showed  his  independence  by  taking 
Miss  McEwen's  pretty  face  in  his  hands 
and  kissing  her  lips  with  such  reli.sh 
and  fervor  that  Mrs.  Clement  objected. 
He  did  it  repeatedly  and  the  audience 
stormed  its  approval.  The  quarrel  that 
followed  at  the  end  of  the  second  act 
caused  Mi.ss  McEwen's  sister  to  faint. 
Clement  remarked  that  he  was  weary 
of  such  scenes  and  the  whole  O'Malley 
family  gave  notice  of  resignation."

DECLINED 

Although  Prices  Were  Lower, 

the  Market  Was  Improved

half  what  it  was  in  th-^  American  markets 
yts-.orday.  and  was  regarded  as  a  favora- 
Mo  si>:n.  The  steadier  condition  of  stocks 
in  Wall  strett  also  had  a  givod  effect, 
and  in  t:u  t  nearly  all  the  news  was  rather 
liiilltsli.  it  was  estimated  that  Uure  would

The  most  succossinl  business  men  always  outline  a  plan  of  action,  when  tluy  are

the  minor  details  mav  have  to  b?  chaiisreil  to  meet  new  or  unforseen  conditions.  It 
i."<  so  with  the  wheat"  business,  more  than  with  any  other  and.  to  meet  ihls^re-

l,ivirpool  t<Hlay  shows  a  decline  of  ;!c

not  hint;  but  the  short  side  of  wheat,  es- 
pecially o(  July  and  advis  >  selling;'  it  on 
all  the  bulges,  as  this  is  the  hlRhest 
market  in  the  world. 

There  is  no  doubt  but  what  the  price 
of  corn  has  sufft-red  somewhat  from  the 
uneasy  feeling"  ovor  the  wh-.at  market 
here.  Corn  was  steady  early  and  rallied 
•Sjc  fr»>m  openiiiK  prii'es.  bu:  lattr  broke 
when  wheat  pot  weak,  and  closed  at  th«' 
lowest  pries  of  the  day  with  no  d^Muand. 
I'ltaraiues  ki'cp  K'HkI.  Heceipts  promise  to 
be  fair.  We  are  Inelineil  to  think  corn 
will  break  a  little  more.  Oats  wire  easier 
and  show  slight  declm  •  for  the  da\'.  We 
have  an   iilea    that   oats   are  hish   enouffh. 

Provisions  weakened  towards  ih.'  close, 
i.itluenci'd  more  by  the  weakness  In  wheat 
than  anythinK  else.  Uibs  have  Kol  protty

to  -.hink  they  may  sell  th.  re.  Advise  buy-

the 

Improved. 

Feb.  i'l.— W  h.at  op-^ned  today 
stfady  at  slightly  lower  fipiires  for  July. 
May  acted  r.itli-r  nervous.  s.llinK  off 
•luickly.  then  rallying  on  a  small  volume 
of  tra.tUng.  The  general  tone  of  the  mar- 
ket, however,  showt'd  considerable  im- 
provement over  ycsttrday.  Liverpool  was 
»4'<;ld  lower,  only  fiboui  half  as  much  as 
Vfsterdavs  deiline  here.  The  steadier 
ficlini;  in  Wall  street  had  a  gowl  d-al  of 
intluenci  on  trades,  and  priees  were  well 
maintained.  The  news  was  rather  bullish. 
Arpentitie  shipments  for  the  w  ek  were 
h.avy  at  l.H'8.t>'!0  bus.  The  Northwest  re- 
ceipts amoun:e<l  to  267  cars  against  24.'t 
last  weeit  and  List  a  year  ago.  Chicago  re- 
c*»ipts  were  76  cars,  of  which  2.'>  were  of 
contract   ciualiiy. 

Julv  wh  at  otiened  at  f''.>^Y' (''■»••■  advanced 
to  .ie>sc  and  reacted  to  90c.  May  opened 
at  from  $l.>y.:*/<l^.'K^.  against  yesterdays 
closing  price  of  S1."C%.  declined  :o  $1.'2':- 
ajid  the.T  rallied  to  Jl.'KJ'^.  becoming  uuiet 
at  that  figure. 

The  bulk  of  traders  are  so  decidedly  of 
the  opinion  that  prices  in  Chicago  are 
iinnatarally  high  that  it  is  safe  to  say 
that  they  did  not  willingly  ilo  any  of  the 
buying  that  raised  them  high.r  this  fore- 
nfMin  and  yet  suppoit  did  no.  app;ar  t'.>  be 
ccming  from  Letter.  It  was  a  day  with- 
out anv  shadow,  however,  to  alarm  a 
bt>ar.  except  that  thrown  upon  the  mar- 
k-t  bv  the  stalwart  form  of  Joseph  Inci- 
ter. They  appeared  to  be  even  getting  ac- 
customed to  that.  The  clearances  from 
Atlantic  ports  were  eipial  tf»  rriO.ifN*  bus 
in  wheat  and  flour.  Liverpool  futures 
rested  at  a  decline  of  ^i^d  but  C.nifornia 
wheat  was  :{V2d.  or  the  eipiivabnt  of  :{c 
per  l>us  I'iwer.  and  No.  1  northern  on  the 
spot   y.jl   lower. 

Corn  was  fairly  active  and  firm.  Tht-re 
was  iroiKl  buyin?,'  fi'om  th<'  start,  ma.iy  of 
ytsttrJay's  sellers  buying  ba*  k  th»ir 
iines    tiMlav.    Sympathy    with    wluat    was 

:h       factor.    Cables    W>  Te    '^d    loW:r.         Re- 
celi»ls  were  iZSi  ears.   May  opened   a   shad- 
lower  at    2t'\'Vj"»c,   advanced    to   SO'/gC  and 
'reacted    to  3'ic. 

Shorts  were  g'Mul  bu.vers  of  oats,  and 
the  market  after  a  slight  opening  <leclin  • 
became  <iui:c  strong.  Receipts  w.'=re  ;!67 
ears.  May  op.»ned  •«<'  lower  at  26c.  ad- 
va.H-«'d    to   iV'^c  and    reacted    to   2fi'4c. 

Provisions  were  nuiet.  The  oi)ening  was 
easy  on  th'^  lower  hog  mark>  t.  but  prices 
rallied  on  fair  general  buying  led  by 
packers.  May  pork  op-:>n  d  2''.;fj5c  lower

Sharp  Advance  at  Opening  and  Very 
Feverish. 

New  York,  Feb.  2.5. — .Sharj)  advances 
in  the  prices  of  .\mericans  in  London 
su.stained  the  market  at  the  opening 
here  and  gains  of  %  lo  'i  were  the 
rule  in  the  railroad  list.  Missouri  Pa- 
citic  was  up  a  point  and  Burlington  "s- 
Sugar  opened  up  %.  but  speedily  de- 
clined and  Metropolitan  Street  Rail- 
way fell  2%.  almost  immediately  after 
the  opening.  Manhattan  and  Western 
Union  were  also  under  pressure.  Spec- 
ulation was  veiT  feverish  during  the 
first  hour,  rallies  and  declines  of  con- 
siderable magnitude  ()c<urring  frequent- 
ly. The  extreme  variations  were  shown 
by  the  specialties.  Metroi»olitan  Street 
Railway  recovered  ■»%  after  th"  open- 
ing bieak  of  over  two  points.  Manhat- 
tan also  rose  above  yesterday's  close. 
The  whole  market  tended  upward  before 
the  clo.se  of  the  hour.  A  feature  of  the 
dealings  was  the  large  number  of  small 
lots  of  various  shares  which  changed 
hands.  Individual  transactions  were 
not  on  a  very  large  scale. 

Prices  became  quite  buoyant  after  11 
o'clock  and  under  the  lead  of  the  high- 
priced  specialties  rose  sharply  all 
around.  The  extreme  gains  were  any- 
where from  one  to  eight  points  over  the 
early  low  point,  the  latter  in  Metro- 
politan Street  liailway.  Third  Avenue 
dropped  five,  but  speedily  rallied  three. 
Manhattan  and  Consolidated  Gas  rose 
four  and  Sugar  and  People's  Gas  figured 
for  gains  of  2>^.  In  the  railway  It.st 
general  advances  were  one  and  two 
points  and  in  Northwest  and  Omaha 
two  and  one-fourth  and  three  points 
respectively.  Sales  of  stocks  to  noon 
282.030  shares.  Bonds  were  generally 
strong  and  active.

-^ither  with  a  restraining  order  and  an 
order  to  shov,-  cause  by  Judge  Cant.

that  he  is  one  of  the  company's  stock- 
holders, and  that  he  brings  the  action  in 
behalf  of  all  of  the  si  ickhoKlers.  He 
^ays  that  some  time  ago  Gay  entered 
nto  an  agreement  with  the  holders  of 
ho  second  mortgage  bonds  of  the  com- 
pany, by  which,  with  liie  bonds  he  al- 
•tady  held,  he  secured  control  of  the 
Moiid.-'.  He  then  entered  into  an  agree- 
tmnt  with  the  city  by  which  he  was  to 
;-!ell  th-  waiter  plant.  In  order  to  carry 
)Ut  his  contract  with  the  city,  it  is 
alleged  that  Gay  promised  to  give  the 
ilartmans.  \.ho  ate  .said  t.i  own  a  bare 
tntijority  of  the  stock,  just  enough  to 
■'ive  them  the  control,  a  large  sum  of 
inonev.  upw.-rds  of  $20,000.  M  is  claimed 
that  the  jilaintiff  does  not  know  thi- 
.  xact  terms  of  this  agreement,  because 
the  Hartmatis  kept  H  secret  from  th( 
iHher  stockholders. 

The  m  )rtgige  foreclosure  has  r  suit*  d, 
says  the  complainl,  whlc-h  was  i)n^]>are<l 
oefore  the  sale  of  the  plant,  in  a  decree 
of  sale,  and  it  is  claimed  thai  then^  is 
an  agretinent  by  which  the  plant  is  to 
be  bid  in  at  a  lower  figure  than  the 
amount  of  the  dtbl,  so  that  the  stock- 
holders will  get  nothing.  It  is  claimec'- 
;hat  there  is  an  untlerstanding  britween 
the  Hartmans  and  the  minority  stock- 
hfdders  that  all  are  to  share  equally  m 
whatever  money  comes  in.  but  they  fear 
thai  the  Hartmans  are  not  going  to  keep 
ihat  agrtem.-nt,  so  that  unless  the  court 
issues  a  restraining  >rder,  the  strsckhold- 
ers  will  get  nothing.  Therefore  plain- 
tiff asks  that  Gay  be  restrained  from 
paying  the  Hartmans  anything,  and 
that  he  be  instructed  by  the  judgment  of 
th''  court  to  pay  any  money  that  he  has 
to  turn  over  directly  ">  the  company  for 
the  equal  btnefit  of  all  of  the  stockhold- 

Judge  Cant  signed  an  order  Feb.  .5  re- 
.luiring  the  tlefendant.s  to  show  cause  at 
:omoriv)w's  tspecial  term  why  the  injunc- 
tion asked  for  should  not  he  granted. 
In  the  meantime  Gay  and  the  Hart- 
mans are  r.'Strained  from  Riving  or  re- 
ceiving any  money.

COST  OF  KLONOIKK  GOLD. 

An  interestingr  calculation  has  been 
made  by  the  Philadelphia  Press  as  to 
whether  it  will  pay  the  Klondikers  to 
travel  thousands  of  miles  to  hunt  gold 
in  a  frozen  region.  The  Press  believes 
that  if  those  who  have  not  looked  at 
the  JDurney  other  than  as  an  adven- 
turous summer  trip  can  be  brought  to 
face  the  facts  and  the  situation  as  it  is 
by  a  plain  statement  in  figures,  much 
fruitless  effort  and  suffering  and  loss  of 
life  may  be  avoided.  Beginning  at  San 
Francisco  the  distance  to  the  Klondike 
by  the  way  of  the  Yukon  river  is  4650 
miles.  If  the  overland  route  from  Jun- 
eau is  preferred,  the  distance  from  Daw- 
son City  is  about  2200  miles.  Taking 
the  latter  route  as  the  shortest,  a  com- 
putation can  be  made  as  to  the  cost  of 
getting  to  the  mines  and  sustaining 
oneself  for  a  season.  An  old  and  ex- 
perienced miner  who  has  prospected  in 
Alaska  gives  the  San  Francisco  Call  the 
following  figures  as  t)  the  necessary 
outfit  and  its  cost: 

Provisions   S  "0  30 

Clothing  71  65 

Medicines   ;•■       5  00 

Weapons  * 30  00 

Tools  and  camp  outfit 64  80 

Total    $24175 

The  fare  from  San  Francisco  to  Dyea 
Is  $48  first  <Iass  and  *29  second  class, 
and  about  $15  in  addition  must  be  paid 
for  freight  on  the  outfit,  which  will 
weigh  about  1500  pounds.  Then  comes 
the  overland  travel,  which  is  expensive. 
The  entire  cost  of  a  journey  from  San 
Francisco  to  Daw.son  City,  including 
this  outfit,  cannot  be  placed  at  less  than 
$400.  Of  course  many  will  not  prepare 
themselves  in  so  complete  a  way.  They 
will  omit  the  provisions,  a  good  share 
of  the  clothing  and  camp  outfit  and  all 
thf-  medicines.  They  will  expect  to  ob- 
tain these  after  they  get  to  Dawson 
City,  but  they  will  have  to  pay  more  for 
them.  The  cost,  then,  of  a  miner  going 
to  the  Klondike,  obtaining  his  outfit 
and  sustaining  himself  during  the  brief 
mining  sea.«on  can  scarcely  be  less  than 
$4f»0.  And  If  100,000  men  go  the  total  out- 
Jay  will  be  $4tt,000,000.  Large  as  this 
sum  is,  it  is  more  likely  to  be  increased 
than  lessened. 

What  return  will  there  be  for  this 
large  outlay?  The  largest  yield  of  gold 
in  California  was  in  18.^3,  the  sixth  year 
after  its  discovery,  when  $65,000,000  waa 
mined.  In  1849,  the  second  year  after 
its  discovery,  $23,000,000  was  taken  out, 
and  90,000  people  had  gone  there  then, 
and  the  conditions  of  mining  were  vast- 
ly more  favorable.  Mining  could  be 
carried  on  through  all  the  year,  while 
In  the  Klondike  three  or  four  months 
is  the  limit.  The  utmost  amount  of  gold 
the  Klondike  mines  can  be  expected  to 
produce  in  1898  will  not  be  beyond  $20,- 
OOO.OOO.  But  if  it  costs  $40,000,000  to  ob- 
tain this,  where  is  the  gain?  If,  says 
the  Press,  half  or  three-quarters  of  the 
1(10.000  men  who  think  of  going  to  the 
Klondike   will  consider  these  facts  and 


stay  at  home,  the  country  will  be  bet- 
ter off.  There  is  undoubtedly  gold 
there,  bilt  if  It  casts  $2  for  every  $1 
mined,  the  hunt  for  It  will  make  the 
country  poorer  Instead  of  richer,  to  say 
nothing  of  the  suffering,  privation  and 
loss  of  life  which  will  have  to  be 
added. 


AN  I.nrOKTANT  MATTKH. 

The  business  men  of  Duluth  naturally 
take  a  special  Interest  in  the  return  of 
the  Inmber  jacks  from  the  woods  In  tht; 
spring.  When  these  men  cotne  bacu 
to  the  cWy  they  spend  a  large  portion 
of  theJr  earnings  for  clothing  and  oth-  r 
nt<'essaries.  Duluth  is  their  natural  ob 
jtctlve  iwlnt,  and  Duluth  business  ni.>n 
would  reap  the  benefit  of  this  trade  if 
the  lumber  Jacks  were  not  diverted  iti 
t>ther  directions  by  the  railroad  com- 
panies and  by  the  Minneapolis  lumber 
firms  which  operate  In  Itasca  county. 
The  railroads  have  not  sold  tickets  in 
the  camps,  since  the  m.^rchants  of  Du- 
luth and  of  the  towns  in  the  lumbeM- 
districts  made  a  protest  two  ^^tiars  asro, 
and  they  say  they  do  not  Intend  to  s<^il 
them  at  the  camps  this  year.  But  they 
place  on  sale  tickets  from  tlrand  Rap- 
ids and  other  ijolnts  to  Minneapolis 
at  a  lower  price  than  the  rate  from 
Grand  Rapids  to  Duluth,  plus  the  rate 
from  Duluth  to  Minneapolis,  and  limit 
the  tickets  to  the  day  of  sale.  The 
railroad  agents  are  given  a  liberal 
commission  on  these  tickets  and  con- 
sequently they  try  to  Induce  the  lutn- 
l)er  jacks  to  buy  them.  In  this  way 
the  lumber  Jacks  are  carried  to  Minne- 
apolis without  being  given  a  chance  to 
stay  but  an  hour  or  so  in  Duluth. 

It  has  been  suggested  that  steps 
should  be  taken  at  once  to  arrange 
matters  so  that  this  business  will  come 
to  Duluth.  It  Is  a  quesition  which 
seems  easy  of  solution,  if  the  railroads 
are  willing  to  deal  justly  with  the  Du- 
luth merchants.  Perhaps  the  best  way 
to  start  the  ball  rolling  would  be  for 
the  merchants  to  me.i  at  a  luncheon  or 
dinner  and  discuss  the  methods  to  bo 
pursued.  Pressure  can  be  brought  to 
bear  upon  the  roads  to  the  Twin  Cities 
to  cease  discriminating  against  Duluth 
in  regard  to  passt^nger  rates  and  to  e.'«- 
tend  the  time  limit  of  the  tickets  to 
thirty  days.  This  would  give  the 
lumber  jacks  a  chance  to  make  their 
purchases  here.  If  they  so  desired.  Th.^ 
time  checks  given  by  the  Minneapolis 
lumbermen  to  their  employes  are  pay- 
able In  Minneapolis,  but  Duluth  mer- 
chants are  ready  to  accept  them,  so 
that  no  difficulty  should  be  experienced 
on  that  account.  If  the  Twin  City 
roads  decline  to  deal  justly  with  Du- 
luth in  this  matter,  other  measures  can 
be  adopted.  No  doubt  the  Duluth 
merchants  who  give  a  large  amount  of 
business  yearly  to  the  St.  Paul  &  Du- 
luth and  the  Eastern  Minnesota  roads 
can  devise  a  plan  of  retaliation. 

Another  way  to  solve  the  problerri 
has  been  suggested.  It  is  proposed  to 
ask  for  special  rates  to  Duluth  from 
the  roads  that  reach  the  lumber  re- 
gions. Cheap  excursions  to  Duluth 
for  a  week  after  the  camps  break  up 
would  bring  the  lumber  jacks  here,  be- 
cause they  would  not  save  any  money 
by  buying  through  tickets  to  the  Twin 
Cities.  These  are  only  suggestions, 
however.  There  may  be  some  better 
plan  proposed.  But  the  Important 
thing  to  be  done  now  is  to  get  the  mer- 
chants together  to  discuss  the  situation 
and  formulate  a  plan  of  action. 


END  THE  INFAMY. 

On  Dec.  3,  1793,  George  Washington, 
first  president  of  the  United  States,  de- 
livered to  his  fellow-citizens  of  the  sen- 
ate and  the  house  of  representatives  a 
message  In  which  occurred  these  mem- 
orable words: 

"The  United  States  ought  not  to  hi- 
dulge  a  persuasion  that,  contrary  to 
the  order  of  human  events,  they  will 
forever  keep  at  a  distance  those  pain- 
ful appeals  to  arms  with  which  the 
history  of  every  other  nation  abounds. 
There  is  a  a  rank  due  to  the  United 
States  among  nations  which  will  be 
withheld,  if  not  absolutely  lost,  by  the 
reputation  of  weakness.  If  we  desire 
to  avoid  Insult  we  must  be  able  to  repel 
It;  If  we  desire  to  secure  peace,  one  of 
the  most  powerful  instruments  of  our 
ri-slng  prosperity,  it  must  be  known 
that  we  are  at  all  times  prepared  for 
war." 

These  words  are  as  true  today  as 
when  they  were  uttered.  "If  we  desire 
to  avoid  Insult  we  must  repel  it."  If 
George  Washington  were  the  occupant 
of  the  White  House  today,  It  Is  safe 
to  say  that  he  would  be  pursuing  a  dif- 
ferent policy  from  that  which  the  Mc- 
Kinley  administration  has  carried  out 
in  reference  to  Cuba.  Men  who  talk  tcj- 
day  as  George  Washington  did  in  1793 
are  denounced  by  the  copperhead  press 
and  the  dongoes  as  "jingoes."  And  If 
Washington  were  in  President  McKin- 
ley's  place  today,  he  would  be  a  "jin- 
go." 

Washington  loved  peace,  order  and 
liberty,  but  he  felt  that  a  free  people 
should  not  submit  to  wrongs  even  if 
they  were  small  ones.  He  preferred 
war  to  th«  destruction  of  liberty.  He 
would  undoubtedly  have  revolted  long 
ago,  had  he  been  in  President  McKin- 
ley's  place,  against  the  despotism  and 
cruelty  in  Cuba  and  would  have  settled 
the  Cuban  question  by  driving  the  ty- 
rannical Spaniard  from  American  soil. 
The  prolongation  of  the  struggle  In  Cuba 
with  all  its  horrors,  has  been  and  is  a 
shame  and  disgrace  to  the  government 
of  the  United  States.  Whatever  the 
causes  which  produced  the  destruction 
of  the  Maine,  this  country  should  no 
longer  perm  ft  despotism  and  cruelty  to 
reign  in  Cuba.  War  is  preferable  to 
Ignoble   peace. 


The  pleasure  of  the  entertainment 
given  at  the  Armory  last  night  in  honor 
of  the  visiting  grocers  was  m&rred  to 
some  extent  by  the  witless  attempt  of  J. 
Adam  Bede  to  inject  politics  into  the 
program.  He  was  scheduled  to  speak, 
but  it  was  not  expected  that  he  would  si 
far  forget  the  character  of  the  gathering 
as  to  indulge  in  a  political  harangue. 
His  hypocritical  apology  for  touching 
upon  the  monetary  question  and  assail-

hearers  was  added  Insult,  because  ther^i 
was  not  the  slightest  excuse  for  intro- 
ducing it  at  a  purely  social  gathering. 


The  Bralnerd  Tribune,  a  staunch  Re- 
publican newspaper,  says;  "Pease,  of 
the  Anoka  Union,  thinks  that  'If  Presi- 
dent McKinley  has  any  backbone,  he  had 
better  use  It  at  once."  Well,  so  far  he 
has  not  given  any  evidence  that  he  pos- 
sesses any  such  thing  as  a  spinal 
column.  The  weakness  and  tlmldi'y 
which  characterizes  the  attitude  of  the 
administration  toward  Spain  and  the 
bloody  butcheries  in  Cuba  is  humiliating 
in  the  extreme  to  every  liberty-loving 
American,  regardless  of  political  belief." 


An  exchange  says  that  with  the  death 
of  John  H.  Ryder,  of  Cleveland,  ther-j 
passed  away  the  last  of  a  little  coterie  of 
men  who  were  chletly  responsible  for 
setting  Artemus  Ward  in  the  way  of  be- 
coming fampus.  Artemus  was  a  reporter 
for  the  Cleveland  Plain  Dealer,  and 
Ryder  In  those  days  was  his  most  in- 
timate friend,  and  lived  with  him  when 
he  wrote  his  first  letter  signed  "Artemus 
Ward." 


It  is  a  good  thing  that  Feb.  22  comes 
around  once  a  year,  says  the  Kansas 
City  World.  Just  about  that  often  a 
whole  lot  of  people  who  boast  of  being 
lineal  descendants  of  George  Washing- 
ton, need  to  be  reminded  that  the  father 
of  his  country,  according  to  the  records, 
died  without  Issue. 


Ex-Senator  John  B.  Henderson  has 
thoroughly  studied  the  problem  of  the

^flags  on  the  Islands  will  be  pulled  down 
one  after  the  other  until  there  will  be  a 
powerful  republic  of  the  "United  Island; 
of  America." 


The  copperhead  newspapers  are  jump- 
ing on  the  patriotic  Americans  who  ex- 
press their  disgust  with  the  pusillani- 
mous foreign  policy  pursued  by  the  Mc-

Last  week  a  pious  Boston  young  man

said  she  was  without  a  home. 


It  has  been  suggested  that  the  public 
school  superintendents  in  session  at 
Chattanooga,  Tenn.,  should  earnestly

much  overlooked  in  the  past. 


Mark  Twain  is  very  popular  with  the

Mr.  Pepper,  the  Havana  correspondent

HINTS  FOR  THE  LAUNDRY. 

A  clean  apron  worn  while  hanging,  the 
clothes  helps  keep  them  clean. 

Black  cotton  hose  should  be  dried  and 
ironed  on  the  wrong  side  to  prevent  fad- 
ing. 

The  line,  as  soon  as  Us  duty  te  ended, 
should  be  reeled  up  and  placed  In  a  bag 
until  next  time. 

Black  and  white  calicoes  are  benefited 
by  having  a  handful  of  salt  added  to  the 
rinsing    water. 

Calicoes  .should  bo  washed  in  clean 
water,  dried  in  the  shade  and  turned  on 
the  wrong  side  to  dry. 

Red  tablecloths  keep  their  color  if  a 
little  borax  is  added  to  the  rinse  water 
and  they  are  drle<l  In  the  shade. 

Dish  towels  an<l  common  towels  tan  be 
ironed  just  as  well  in  half  the  time  If 
folded  together  once  as  if  Ironed  singly.

Brooklyn  Eagle:  Weyler  says  that  the

New    York   Tribune:    The    latest    expla- 
nation  of   the    Maine   disaster   which    ha

the  king   jf  Denmark,  feeling  the  need  o

navies    ol    the    world    and    then    build    i, 
great    nation.    It    was   propounded    by    a 
respectable  looking  gentleman  in  a  public 
place,    and    he    said    he    had    evidence    tc 
vouch   for   it.     We  do  not  vouch   for    tht 
proof,    but   give    the   hint    for   what    it    i^ 
worth,    for  it   seems  as   likely   as  a   half- 
hundred   other  discoveries   "authoritative-

Baltimore    American:    The    marine    or-

scenes    calculated   to  dismay   and   demor

moments   of   panic— who   calmly    reportec 
to   his   superior  officers   the  facts,    as   hif

swered  the  accusations  of  an  Englihsmar 
that   discipline    on   American   men-of-wa 
is  greatly   inferior  to  that  of  the  Britisl 
navy.      He    has    done    a    national    service 
by  his  intrepid  obedience  to  discipline  and 
ought    to    receive    official    recognition. 

New  York  Commercial  Advertiser:  Botl 
for  sentiment  and  for  practical  pur 
poses  the  Mai.ne  should  be  not  onl> 
raised,  bat  brought  home  and  rebuilt. 
Of  course,  we  cannot  leave  her  in  a  for- 
eign port  as  a  harbor  obstruction.  Then 
she  shoulil  l>e  rebuilt,  not  only  because  it 
would  cost  less  in  time  and  money  than 
to  build  another  ."hip  of  her  size,  but  be- 
cause a  ship  that  has  gone  through  such 
a  terrible  experience  should,  acfording  to 
our  national  policy,  be  faithfully  and  ten- 
derly prefierved.  She  should  be  saved,  as 
we  preserk-ed  the  Hartford,  to  be  an  ever- 
lasting reminder  of  Farragut  and  Mobile 
bay,  still  preserve  the  Constitution,  pre- 
served tie  Kearsarge  until  she  was 
wrecked  .^o  completely  that  nothing  was 
left  of  her.  and  are  now  building  a  bat- 
tleship expressly  to  take  her  name.  The 
Maine  was  our  first  modern  battleship, 
the  first  .ship  of  our  new  navy,  and  the 
center  of  the  most  terrible  catastrophe 
that  ever  befell  the  navy.  Therefore,  her 
hull,  how?ver,  battered,  should  be  saved 
for  future  generations.  There  is  expert 
evidence  ihat  this  is  entirely  practicable.

Chicago  Tribune:  The  choir  was  singing 
a  new  arrangement  of  the  beautiful  an- 
them, "Consider  the  Lilies."  The  pure, 
sweet  voiL-e  of  the  soprano  rose  clearly 
and   distinctly   in   the   solo: 

They  toi-oi-oi-oil  not. 
They  toil   not, 
They  toil  not, 
Ny-y-ther  do  they  spin. 

She  paused  and  the  tenor  took  up  the 
strain: 

Nee-ee-ee-thcr   do   they  spin. 
Tliey  toi-oi-oi-oil   not, 
They  toil   not. 
They  toil   not, 
Nee-ee-ee-ther    do    they    spin. 

The  tenor  ceased,  and  the  basso,  a  sol- 
emn red-haired  young  man.  with  a  some- 
what worldly  looking  eye  and  a  voice  like 
a  fog  horn,  broke  in: 

Nav-ay-av-ayther  do  they  spin. 
Tliev  toi-oi-oi-oil  not. 
Thev   toll   not, 
Tliey   toil   not, 
Niiy-ay-ay-ayther  do  they  spin. 

Then  the  voices  of  the  three  were  lifted 
up  In  semi-chorus: 

Ny-y-y-ther 

Nee-ee-ee-ther 

Nay-ay-iiy-ther 

do  they  spin. 
They  toi-oi-oi-oll  not.

The  Grocers'  convention  is  over,  but 
the  indiistriai  wheels  are  stiil  turning  at 
the  Armory.  The  toil  of  the  brain,  heart 
and  hand  has  united  and  they  are  now 
waiting  for  the  capital  to  unite  with  them. 
Industry  is  the  life  blood  and  soul  in  the 
great  commercial  body.  Labor  is  the 
bread  and  capital  the  digestive  power. 
Let  the  brains,  heart,  hands  and  capital 
unite  and  there  will  be  a  "Union."  Hon- 
est labor  is  a  man's  prido,  but  idleness  and 
dishonesty  are  the  rust  of  the  souls. 
There  is  strength  in  the  "Union"  if  men 
are  honest  with  one  another.  The  Labor

The  .Scoffing  Bystander. 

There  are  ever  men  who  know  how 

To  do  the  things  htat  you 

Have  set  yours£>lf  to  do 

Far  better  than 

You    do    or    can, 
No  matter  if  you  guide  the  plow, 
Or  steer  the  ship  of  state. 

They  could,    if   they 

Were  placed,   today, 
By  circumstance  or  Fate 
Where  you  perform  your  office  now. 
Put  shame  upon  you— still. 
Men    always    have   stood    off    and    talked, 
and,    doubtless,    always   will. 

When  patient  Lincoln  tolled  away 

In  Freedom's  lofty  cause. 

Inspired  as  he  was, 

A    million   men. 

With    voice    and    pen. 
Gave   other   men    to   know   that    they 
Had  fairer  ways  than  Lincoln  jilanned. 

And  each  was  free 

To  say  that   he. 
If  chosen,  might  have  spared  the  land 
Its  fratricidal   fray! 
Perhaps  they  spoke  but   truly— still. 
Men    always   have   stwid    off    and    talked, 
and,    doubtless,    always   will. 

Great    Washington    had    critics,    too. 
Who  stood  aloof  and   sneered, 
Who  heard   his   name,   and  je.<red; 
They  called   him   knave. 
What  time  he  gave 
His   strength,  his  all.   to  carry  through 
The  mighty  work  that  he  alone, 
In    that    black   night, 
^Vith   patient  might. 
And  wisdom  that  wa«  all  his  own, 
Was  called  upon  by  God  to  do!— 
Their  mcmorj's  dead:  We  love  him  still!— 
Men    always    have   siood    off    and    talked, 
and,    doubtless,    always   will. 

Strive  on.  strive  on.  as  best  you  may. 

To  do  the  thing  that   you 

Have  set  yourself  to  do. 

Nor  stand   aloof 

And  give  reproof 
T'nto  the  toiler  by  the  way. 
He  has  his  trade,  and  doubtless  knows. 

Though  you  and  lie 

May  not  agree. 
Just  where  and  how  to  deal  the  blows 
Demanded  by  the  task,  today  I— 
Though  others  jeer  you.   strive  on  still. 
Men  ever  have  stood  off  and  talked,  and 
doubtless,   ever  will!

linois is  a  conspicuous  and  refreshing  ex- 
ample of  the  true  American  spirit.  He  may 
not  be  popular  in  the  Spanish  legation, 
but  he  knows  that  Illinois  is  proud  of 
him.  The  people  of  htis  state,  irrespective

"Let   War  Come." 

Chicago  Skandinaven:  Every  hearth  in 
the  la.nd  is  veiled  In  gloom  and  draped  in 
sorrow  for  the  brave  boys  who  went 
down  with  the  Maine,  .\mong  our  adopted 
citizen.s  the  grief  is  no  less  heartfelt  and 
.•^itieere  than  among  those  to  the  manor 
born.  Our  nation  is  made  up  of  many 
nationalities  that  all  blend  Into  one 
under  the  magic  power  of  the  starry  ban- 
ner. Nearly  all  of  them  were  represented- 
on  the  Maine.  The  officers  were  native- 
l)orn  Americans,  while  about  one-half  of 
the  men  were  adopted  citizens,  born  in 
the  various  countries  of  Northern  Eu- 
rope. First  among  the  foreig'n  born  in 
numerical  strength  came  the  Fcandina- 
\  ians.  The  published  roster  shows  42  Scan- 
dinavians. 21^1  Irishmen,  l.'i  Germans,  etc. 
Less  than  2.)  per  cent  of  the  Scandina- 
vians were  saved. 

Our  adopted  citizens  mourn  for  the 
precious  lives  thus  wantonly  lost.  But 
they  do  not  shrink  from  the  call  of  uuty; 
on  the  contrary,  they  are  ready  for  any 
Sacrifice  demanded  by  the  honor  of  the 
flag  and  the  welfare  of  our  common 
country.  This,  it  is  believed,  is  true  oi 
our  adopted  citizens  in  gen^r.•^l.  The  Skan- 
dinaven knows  that  it  is  iruf  of  all  citi- 
zens of  Scandinavian  birth.  They  are  a 
law-abiding  people  of  peace:  but  if  war 
must  be  waged  for  the  sake  of  justice, 
liberty  and  .he  honor  of  the  nag  they  know 
Ihsir  duty  and  are  eager  to  march  at  the 
tirst  call  of  the  bugle.  They  are  no:  com- 
forted by  the  a.«surance  that  "the  peojiie 
of  the  I'nited  States  may  possess  their 
.'^oiils  i+i  peace— there  will  be  no  wai-  with 
Spain."  They  regard  such  se;i.iments  ix- 
IiTfssed  at  the  present  juncture  as  cow- 
ardly, not  to  say  seditious.  The  majority 
of  the  Scandinavians  of  the  I'nited  St:ites 
think  :liat  a  war  with  Spain  misht  to 
liave  been  fought  and  linishi-d  long  ago. 
in  their  judgment  it  is  the  duty  of  this 
great  rti)Ul)lic  to  put  a  stop  to  Spanish 
injustice,  cruelty  and  barbarism  in  Cuba, 
Set  the  island  free,  and  punish  Spain's 
insults  and  treachery  and  crimes  against 
our  land  and  people.  Any  further  delay 
of  this  act  of  justice  adds  to  their  impa- 
tience and  weakens  their  faith  in  the  ad- 
ministration. \\  hiie  they  recognize  the 
grave  responsibilities  of  President  Mc- 
Kiidey  and  respect  his  prudence,  they  feel 
that  the  patience  and  forbearanci'  of  this 
country  have  been  exhausted  and  that 
tile  hour  for  final  and  decisive  action  is 
at  liand.  They  are  not  anxious  lo  "ih)s- 
sess  their  souls  "  in  a  dishonorable  peace. 
They  are  eager  to  assume  their  full  I 
share  of  the  sacriliccs  of  a  just  and  hon- 
orable war. 


Ciil>a  'Will  Be  Free. 

Chicago  Dispatch:  "The  time  has  come 
when  the  hold  of^pam  on  thie  oonl!n*ni 
should  be  bfoRen  ana  Cuba  shoultf  i>e 
free.  "  The  above  declaration  was  made 
by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Thomas,  of  Chicago,  on 
last  Sunday.  The  declaration  is  not  an 
unusual  one  but  it  comes  from  an  unusual 
source.  The  pulpit  has  been  slow  to  speak 
upon  this  question.  It  can  keep  silent  no 
longer.  You  cannot  obstruct  a  moral 
force.  The  power  that  raises  thousands 
of  tons  of  water  to  the  skies  will  descend 
again  in  the  awful  avalanche  to  crush  and 
terrifv  in  its  course.  So  of  a  moral  force. 
Obstruct  it.  and  like  the  accumulated 
water  al)ove  a  dam  it  will  burst  its  bar- 
riers away  and  put  to  scorn  the  puny  arm 
that  dares  to  stop  it.  The  heart  of  the 
u.niversal  world.  Spain  excepted.  >ays 
Cuba  ought  to  be  free.  The  moral  fore? 
of  that  impression  may  be  stemmed  by 
explanations  and  delays,  but  it  will  soon 
and  certainly  burst  its  barriers  and  Cul>a 
will  be  free.

A  BASE  SLANDER. 


Grand  Forks  Plaindealer:  The  St.  Paul 
Pioneer  Press,  in  a.  recent  editorial,  has 
the  effrontery  to  attempt  to  draw  a  pai-- 
allel  between  the  characters  of  George 
Washington  and  William  McKinley.  Aftor 
ref(  rring  to  the  "calmness  and  ciiuipose 
of  I'resident  McKinley  in  dealing  with  the 
Ciilian    embroglio    it    says: 

"Such,  we  may  well  imagine,  as  we  re- 
call Washington's  bearing  at  man\  a 
trying  crisis,  both  <iurinK  the  revolution 
and  afterwards,  would  have  b'eii  his  con- 
duet  now." 

'this  may  be  very  true,  but  there  are 
eerlain  diftereiices  which  the  P.  P.  over- 
looks. For  instance,  the  Fatln-r  of  His 
Countr'-,  after  having  for  years  enter- 
tained certain  views  on  the  tinaiK-ial  ques- 
tions,  would  not  have  committed  himself 
to  a  policy  directly  contrary  to  his  bt- 
liefs,  in  obedience  to  the  command  of 
the  party  bosses.  He  would  not  have  sub- 
mitted to  the  dictation  of  politicians  of 
till  Hanna  stripe,  and  the  wildest  dreamer 
could  not  imagine  him  ct)urting  the  siii>- 
j)ort  of  ward  h(>elers.  or  rewarding  thi'Se 
seivices  by  apiK>intments  to  lucrative  fe<l- 
cral  positi<ms.  Imagine  Washington  seml- 
Iti.i;'  a  message  of  t-ongral illation  to  one  of 
liis  friends  on  the  pureliase  of  a  state  l"K- 
Isbiture;  i>r  imagine  him  apiH>iniinK  smh 
men  at  .lohn  Giwidnow.  or  Mayor  Patter- 
soi  to  orticial  i>ositioiis.  The  comparison 
is  an  insult  to  the  memory  of  W.ishington 
and  only  serves  to  emphasize  the  differ- 
eiie."  between  him  and  his  degenerate  suc- 
cessor.

While  it  is  true  that  the  St.  Paul  & 
Duluth  and  Eastern  Minnesota  railroads 
are  atways  eager  for  the  patronage  of 
the  lumber  jacks  employed  in  th-^ 
woods  of  Northern  Minnesota,  they 
have  not  had  tickets  on  sale  in  the 
camps  for  two  years  and  they  will  on'y 
s-ll  them  this  year  through  the  regular 
ticket  agents  •  mployed  by  connecting 
linos.  Merchants  in  the  lumber  sind 
rang*-  towns  protested  against  the  prac- 
tice of  selling  railroad  tickets  to  the 
nritn  !<y  their  employers  and  their  pro- 
I'St  r  suited  in  the  discontinuance  of 
the  piactice.  The  railroad  ngents  an- 
paid  a  commission  on  all  tickets  sold 
over  these  roads,  which  is  sufficient  in- 
duf^ement  for  them  to  work  for  l>usi- 
ness  for  St.  Paul  and  Minneapolis.  As 
there  are  more  men  employed  in  the 
V.  fxxls  this  winter  than  usual.  The  rail- 
road compares  anticipate  an  in- 
creased travel  from  there  when  the 
camps   begin   to  break  up. 

A  Superior  street  business  man  in 
speaking  of  the  interest  which  Duluth 
has  in  the  movement  of  the  lumber 
ja<  ks  said,  that  if  the  merchants  <% 
this  city  are  to  capture  the  trade  of 
these  m- n  inducements  must  be  held 
nut  to  them  to  come  here.  He  suggests 
that  they  ask  for  special  rates  to  Du- 
luth from  the  roads  that  traverse  the 
lumber  region.  By  running  a  numb-r 
of  cht-ap  excursions,  for  instanc ,  many 
of  the  men  would  come  here  who  will 
otherwise  be  induced  by  ticket  agents 
to  go  straight  through  and  spend  their 
nrmcy  in  St.  Paul  and  Minneapolis.  Tf 
a  rate  can  be  made  so  low  that  no  sav- 
ing' would  b-  made  by  buying  through 
tickets,  a  large  number  of  those  whosp 
ultimate  destination  is  to  points  be- 
ynd  Duluth  would  come  here  and  re- 
main a  few  days  at  least  before  con- 
tinuing their  journey.  The  through 
tickets  ar^-  limited  to  the  day  of  sale, 
s«»  that  th'jse  who  might  desire  to  stop 
off  in  Duluth  are  not  permit'tid  to  do 
so.  If  the  time  limit  of  the  tickets 
was  extended  for  thirty  days  one  of  the 
most  objectionable  features  of  the  pol- 
icy of  the  railroads  in  soliciting  this 
bu.sine-fls   would   be  removed.     The  rate

Pills 


Serious    Results   Sometimes   Follow 
Its  Excessive  Lse. 

Common  soda  is  all  right  in  its  place 
and  indispensable  in  the  kitchen  and 
for  cooking  and  washing  purposes,  but 
it  was  never  intended  for  a  medicine, 
and  people  who  use  It  as  such  will  some 
day  regret  it. 

We  refer  to  the  common  use  of  soda 
t')  relieve  heartburn  or  sour  stomach,  a 
habit  which  thousands  of  people  prac- 
tice almost  daily,  and  one  which  is 
fraught  with  danger;  moreover,  the 
soda  only  gives  temporary  relief,  and  in 
the  end  the  stomach  trouble  gets  worse 
and  worse. 

The  .=oda  acts  as  a  mechanical  irritant 
to  the  walls  of  the  stomach  and  bowels, 
and  cases  are  on  record  where  it  ac- 
cumulated in  the  intestines,  causing 
death  by  inflammation  or  peritonitis. 

Dr.  Harlandson  recommends  as  the 
safest  and  surest  cure  for  sour  stomach 
(acid  dyspepsia)  an  excellent  prepara- 
tion sold  by  druggists  under  the  name  of 
Stuart's  Dyspepsia  Tablets.  These  tab- 
lets are  large  20-grain  lozenges,  very 
pleasant  to  taste  and  contain  the  na- 
tural acids,  peptones  and  digestive  ele- 
ment" essential  to  good  digestion,  and 
when  taken  after  meals  they  digest  the 
food  perfectly  and  promptly  before  it 
has  time  to  ferment,  sour  and  poison  the 
blood  and  nervous  system. 

Dr.  Wuerth  states  that  he  invariably 
uses  Stuart's  Dyspepsia  Tablets  in  all 
cases  of  stomach  derangements,andfind3 
them  a  certain  cure  not  only  for  sour 
stomach,  but  by  promptly  digesting  the 
fix)d  they  create  a  healthy  appetite,  in- 
crease flesh  and  .'itrengthen  the  action 
of  the  heart  and  liver.  They  are  not  a 
cathartic,  but  intended  only  for  stomach 
diseases  and  weakness  and  will  be 
found  reliable  in  any  stomach  trouble, 
except  cancer  of  the  stomach.  All  drug- 
gists sell  Stuart's  Dyspepsia  tablets  at 
50  cents  per  package.

DISCISSED  HAWAII. 


Addresses  and   Letters   on   Annexa- 
tion Read  Last  Evening. 

The  meeting  for  the  discussion  of  the 
Hawaiian  question  at  Pilgrim  church 
last  night  was  very  interesting  and  was 
well  attended.  The  purpose  was  to 
discuss  thn  "Duty  of  the  United  States 
as  a  Christian  Nation  to  Hawaii."  In- 
terenting  addresses  were  given  on  the 
subject  by  Miss  Noyes.  Mr.  (.)den,  .VI r. 
Matter,  Rev.  C.  II.  I'atton.  Previous 
to  the  meeting  many  prominent  citzens 
had  been  called  on  for  their  opinion. 
and  the  answers  as  read  last  night 
were  very  interesting.  Among  those 
who  responded  were  Judge  Carey,  H. 
R.  Spencer,  E.  R.  Cobb.  Judge  Ensign, 
E.  R.  Brace,  Judge  Cant,  S.  F.  White. 
R.  S.  Munger  and  John  Owens.  About 
two-thirds  were  in  favor  of  annexation, 
while  the  others  thought  it  would  be 
better  to  leave  it  as  it  is  unless  some 
other  nation  should  be  likely  to  get  it.

EVENING     PROGRAM 


Speecl^es,  Music  and  Dancing 

For  Entertainment  of 

Visitors. 


The  business  session  of  the  second 
annual  convention  of  the  Retail  Grocers' 
and  General  Merchants'  association  of 
Minnesota  came  to  a  close  yesterday 
afternooi.  The  next  convention  will 
be  held  s.t  St.  Paul  at  a  date  to  be  fixed 
by  the  executive  committee.  The  fol- 
lowing were  elected  officers  for  the  en- 
suing year:  President,  P.  G.  Hanson, 
of  Minni-apolis;  first  vice  president,  S. 
W.  Hill,  of  Duluth;  second  vice  presi- 
dent, James  T.  Robb,  of  Winona;  third 
vice  president,  George  O.  Haskell,  of 
Stillwater;  treasurer,  C.  F.  Rappe,  of 
St.  Paul;  secretary  and  general  organ- 
izer, George  L.  DIngman,  of  Minneapo- 
lis. The  board  of  directors,  one  member 
trom  each  congressional  district,  elected 
is  as  follows:  First  district,  Albert 
Bittner,  of  Winona;  Second  district,  F. 
H.  Behnke,  of  New  Ulm;  Third  district, 
Frank  S.  Sherman,  Red  Wing;  Fourth 
district,  Alonzo  Birmingham,  of  St. 
Paul:  Fifth  district,  Herman  Dahn,  of 
Minneapolis;  Sixth  district,  SimorH 
Clark,  01'  Duluth;  Seventh  di.strict,  J. 
A.  McConkey,  of  Fergus  Falls.  There 
will  also  be  a  "genei-al  purpose"  com- 
mittee, consi.sting  of  one  member  from 
each  town,  appoanted  l)y  the  president. 

The  elections  were  all  unanimous, 
Secretarj  Dingman  casting  a  ballot  by 
direction  of  the  convention  for  each 
ollicer  but  himself,  in  his  case  the  rules 
being  suspended  and  he  being  re-elected 
by  acclamation.  The  directors  were 
nominated  by  their  respective  districts; 
there  were  no  contests  and  the  choice 
was  ratifed  by  the  convention  by  accla- 
mation. 

The  in^•itation  from  St.  Paul  for  the 
next  convention  was  extended  by  J.  H. 
Tenvoorde  on  behalf  of  the  St.  Paul 
asswlaticn.  An  invitation  from  Winona 
uas  extended  by  J.  T.  Brown,  of  the 
Winona  delegation,  in  behalf  of  the 
board  of  trade,  jobbers'  union.  Retail 
Grocers'  association  and  other  bodies. 
Mr.  Bro\kn  said  that  Winona  wanted 
the  next  convention,  and  if  it  could  not 
get  it,  thi?n  it  wanted  the  fourth  annual 
convention  anyhow. 

The  dues  for  the  ensuing  year  were 
fixed  at  $1.  A  question  was  raised  as  to 
whether  this  should  not  be  paid  by  a 
per  capita  assessment,  it  being  argued 
that  it  W8,s  not  fair  that  the  members  of 
the  large  associations  should  pay  the 
same  amount  as  the  country  members. 
It  was  decided  that  it  should  fiot  apply 
to  the  large  associations.  At  this  point 
the  Smith  Produce  company  came  to  the 
front  with  a  contribution  of  $10,  and 
then  the  money  rained  in  from  firms 
and  individual  dealers  in  Duluth,  the 
Twin  Cities  and  Superior  and  several 
manufacturing  establishments  out.slde 
of  the  state,  until  the  sum  of  nearly 
$.'>00  had  lieen  raised.  Enough  was  con- 
tributed by  the  members  also  to  wipe 
out  last  year's  deficit,  with  a  snug  sum 
to  spare. 

FAVOR    POSTAL    SAVINGS    BANKS. 

Resolutions  were  adopted  favoring 
postal  savings  bank.s,  a  law  imposing 
a  penaltj  for  false  advertising,  a  sys- 
tem of  credit  for  the  state,  for  just  and 
equitable  homestead  and  exemption 
laws,  anc;  for  a  garnishment  law  per- 
mitting ttie  garnishment  of  salaries  of 
state  and  municipal  employes. 

Other  res)lutions  bearing  on  the  ad- 
ministration of  the  affairs  of  the  asso- 
ciation were  also  passed.  One  that 
created  discussion  was  that  to  the  effect 
that  membership  in  local  associations 
shall  not  be  ne<-essary  to  eligibility  to 
memberslilp  in  the  state  as.sociation.  It 
was  finally  adopted  as  read. 

Louis  Pratt,  of  Superior,  presented 
the  a.ssociation  with  a  hand.some  gavel 
ifi  behalf  of  the  Minnesota  Soap  com- 
pany. A  vote  of  thanks  was  tendered 
the  company. 

J.  A.  Lawrence,  of  St.  Paul,  a  member 
of  the  state  dairy  and  food  commission, 
addressed  the  convention  in  the  after- 
noon on  'Pure  Food  Adulterations  and 
Pure  FfX)i  Laws."  He  told  of  the  ex- 
tensive adulteration  discovered  by  the 
analyses  made  by  the  commission,  and 
urged  that  an  effort  be  made  to  .secure 
adequate  legislation  on  the  subject.  In 
response  to  an  inquiry  from  Secretary 
Dingman,  he  said  the  commission  would 
send  its  lulletins  to  such  as.sociation^ 
as  would  undertake  to  circulate  the  in- 
formation exactly  as  received.  Owing 
t)  lack  of  funds  a  typewritten  bulletin 
merely  is  being  i.ssucKl.  A  resolution  was 
passed  a.sking  for  ))rinited  bulletins. 

Neil  Smith,  of  Superior,  read  an  able 
paper  on  'Laws  Needed  for  the  Protec- 
tion of  the  Mercantile  Interests  of  Min- 
nesota and  Wisconsin."  All  dealers  but 
grocers  had  lien  laws  that  gave  them 
ample  prctectlon,  said  Mr.  Smith.  But 
the  grocer  was  not  in  it,  and  when  the 
architects  the  carpenters,  the  lumber 
dealers  and  the  n-st  were  dividing  up, 
the  grocers  sat  b.ack  like  a  sinner  in  a 
church  wiien  communion  is  going  on. 
An  organized  move  was  necessary  to 
effect  a  change.  The  homestead  and 
exemption  laws  also  were  carried  too 
far  from  ihe  grocers  point  of  view.  A 
Just  and  equitable  law  that  would  give 
the  grocers  some  protection  while  not 
opening  wide  the  debtor's  door  to  the 
sheriff  could  and  should  be  devised. 
Without  organization,  however,  the 
grocers  would  continue  indefinitely  as 
at   present. 

<^LARK  ON  EARLY  CLOSING. 
Simon  (^Hark  read  an  entertaining 
paper  on  "Early  Closing."  In  all  other 
lines  of  business,  hours  had  iieen  short- 
ened, but  the  grocer  still  j>lodded  along, 
working  from  seventy  to  eighty  hours 
a  week,  while  others  worked  about  fifty. 
The  grocery  salesmen  come  as  near  liv- 
ing a  life  of  drudgery  as  any  man  who 
earns  an  honest  living.  Organization 
was  needed  to  remedy  this.  Hard  work, 
long  hours  and  poor  pay  keep  down  the 
level  of  efllciency,  robbing  the  employe 
of  strength  and  ambition  to  master  his 
business.  The  employer  would  be  bene- 
fited as  much  as  the  employe  by  short- 
er hours.  These  conditions  would  con- 
tinue as  Icng  as  the  grocer  had  no  key 
to  his  store.  A  three  years?'  apprentice- 
ship shoulc  be  the  rule.  The  greenhorns 
should  be  kicked  out  of  the  business. 
The  Federated  Trades  assembly  should 
be  asked  to  aid  by  patronizing  no  store 
that  keeps  open  eighteen  hours  a  day. 
All  should  join  hands  and  start  a  gen- 
eral movement. 

Just  before  adjournment  a  resolution 
offered  by  Fred  Lorenz,  acknowledg- 
ing the  honpitallty  of  the  people  of  Du- 


8     Dr.  Miles'   Restorative  Nervine.     ' 


Heals  the  Ragged  Wounds  of  La  Grippe. 


No  disease  known  to  modern  science  plays 

such  havoc  with  the  delicate  nervous  system  as  M 

does  that  terrible  affliction — La  Grippe.    It  tears  q 

and  strains  at  your  spinal  column.    It  twists  your  q 

neck  and  fairly  seems  to  split  your  head  wide  q 

open.    In  vain  you  strive  to  throw  it  off.    In  vain  q 

you  try  to  get  away.    You  are  racked  and  buf-  q 

feted  until  your  strength  is  worn  out  and  your  M 

vitality  is  gone— then  left  to  die.  Dr.  Miles'  Nerv-  q 

ine  will  help  you.    It  is  a  wonderful  nerve  healer  q 

and  closes  up  the  lacerated  wounds.   It  is  a  nerve  rn 

food  as  well  as  a  medicine  and  not  only  heals  but  q 

feeds.     It  is  food  for  the  worn  out  brain  and  the  rn 

wasted  tissues.    It  is  food  for  the  overtaxed  and  Q 

^    weak  digestion.    It  gives  healthful  vitality  to  the  nerve-centers.    It  creates  n 

n    a  good  appetite  and  gives  refreshing  sleep.  rn

Mr.  Eli  Woodard,  Plymouth,  Ills.,  after  recovering  his  health,  writes  as  follows:  "Four  years  ago  1 
had  a  bad  attack  of  La  Grippe  which  left  me  a  physical  \n  reck.  I  had  not  and  could  not  gain  any  strength. 
1  could  not  sleep,  and  my  nerves  were  so  prostrated  that  I  was  practically  helpless.  My  home  physician  could 
do  me  no  good— gave  me  up  in  fact— and  to  all  appearances  dissolution  was  not  far  away.  At  this  time  1  be- 
gan taking  Dr.  Miles'  Restorative  Nervine,  and  the  first  night's  sleep  in  four  months  followed  the  first  two 
doses.  1  improved  steadily  from  the  beginning,  and  in  a  few  weeks  the  effects  of  the  La  Grippe  were  all  gone. 
Although  nearly  seventy  years  old  I  am  as  robust  and  healthy  as  a  man  of  fifty." 


luth,  the  "gem  of  the  inland  .seas,"  was 
passed  with  a  whoop. 
THE  EV^ENlING  ENTERTAINMENT. 
The  convention  was  fittingly  closed 
last  night  with  the  reception  and  ball 
at  the  Armory,  at  which  fully  2000 
people  were  in  attendance.  The  hall 
was  prettily  decorated  In  national  col- 
ors, the  work  of  the  members  of  Com- 
pany G,  whose  drill  night  was  given 
up  to  the  visitors,  and  the  program 
that  was  given  was  one  of  .surpassing 
excellence.  F.  A.  Patrick,  of  the  j.)b- 
bers'  union,  presided  over  the  gather- 
ing. He  was  to  have  made  a  speech, 
but  the  hour  was  .so  late  when  the 
program  was  opened  that  he  said 
merely  that  he  would  have  nothing  to 
say  except  to  introduce  the  other 
speakers  and  the  performers,  which  he 
did  gracefully  and  wittily.  The  first 
number  on  the  program  was  a  quartet 
l)y  Miss  McKay,  Miss  Calverly,  Mr. 
Black  and  Mr.  Mandelert,  the  Bridal 
Chorus  from  "Rose  Maiden."  The 
voices  of  the  singers  blended  pleas- 
ingly, and  the  song  was  well  received. 
The  chairman  next  introduced  J. 
Adam  Bede,  of  Pine  City  and  else- 
where, who  managed  to  cover  a  good 
deal  of  ground  in  his  remarks,  which 
ranged  from  country  journalism  and 
butter-making  to  "sixteen  to  one." 
He  said  that  there  had  been  so  much 
celebrating  this  month  that  he  had 
hardly  been  able  to  get  around.  There 
were  so  many  great  men  born  In  this 
month— Washington,  Lincoln,  Mike 
Dowling  (laughter)  that  it  made  a  good 
many  celebrations.  He  spoke  In  the 
penitentiary  on  Washington's  birth- 
day, and  he  thought  that  if  he  could 
get  along  there  he  could  do  all  right 
in  Duluth.  He  would  say  as  he  did 
there  that  he  would  give  no  oratory. 
Oratory  could  not  be  popular  in  a  pen- 
itentiary, because  oratory  could  not 
very  well  do  without  long  sentences 
(laughter).  If  he  was  to  give  the 
grocers  any  advice  he  would  say  "tell 
the  truth,"  as  ho  would  say  to  any 
class  of  people.  He  didn't  know  of 
anyone  besides  himself  that  tells  the 
truth,  for  it  is  a  .sort  of  a  specialty; 
there  are  only  a  few  of  us  that  can 
do  it. 

The  grocery  business  had  been  like  a 
good  many  other  callings  during  the 
last  few  years,  pretty  uncertain.  He 
was  getting  closer  to  the  grocers  now, 
for  he  had  started  a  creamery  in  con- 
nection with  his  paper.  That  is  the 
only  way  to  run  a  country  newspaper 
anyway.  Then  when  you  pay  off  you 
can  go  out  and  collect  your  subscrip- 
tions. He  was  going  to  get  out  a 
butter-colored  edition  of  yellow  jour- 
nalism soon.  The  real  reason  why  he 
went  to  Pine  City  was  l>ecause  they 
were  going  to  close  the  schools  in  Min- 
neapolis, and  he  wanted  to  get  where 
he  could  keep  his  children   in   school. 

Mr.  Bede  spoke  of  the  advancement 
in  all  things  in  this  country,  including 
the  grocery  business,  and  ventured 
the  assertion  that  if  it  were  not  for 
the  railroad  and  telegraph  this  coun- 
try could  never  have  held  together.  In 
regard  to  Hawaii,  he  did  not  think 
that  the  argument  that  the  island  was 
needed  as  a  military  protection  was 
valid,  for  a  stoi:m  door  2000  miles  from 
the  house  could  be  little  protection. 
He  could  not  go  without  giving  them 
a  few  thoughts  in  opposition  to  the  ratio 
of  16  to  1,  which  he  proceeded  to  do. 
They  fell  very  fiat. 

Messrs.  Doran  and  Applehagen  gave 
a  very  clever  German  sketch,  responding 
to  a  couple  of  encores.  P.  J.  McClaughy. 
of  Minneapolis,  spoke  eloquently  though 
briefiy  on  the  subject  of  domestic 
economy,  calling  attention  to  the  evils 
of  adulteration  in  food  products.  He 
said  that  there  would  be  no  such  danger 
If  the  people,  in  a  spirit  of  false  econ- 
omy, did  not  demand  it. 

Maj'or  Truelsen  was  the  next  speaker, 
and  he  hoped  the  stay  of  the  visitors 
had  been  pleasant.  He  asked  them  to 
come  again  In  a  more  favorable  season, 
when  the  flowers  were  in  blossom,  the 
birds  singing,  the  trees  budding  and  the 
commerce  of  the  world  was  pas.sing  in 
and  out  of  the  port  of  Duluth.  He  prom- 
ised a  better  time  and  a  more  varied 
entertainment.  He  gave  a  few  incidents 
in  the  daily  life  of  the  grocer,  incidents 


both  humorous  and  pathetic,  showing 
some  of  the  trials  and  some  of  the  amen- 
ities of  his  daily  routine. 

Miss  Susanne  McKay  gave  Meyer- 
beer's "Cavatlna"  in  a  very  pleasing 
manner,  and  Jack  Noyes  sang  "I  Love 
You  in  the  Same  Old  Way."  He  was 
forced  to  come  back  and  give  two  negro 
songs,  which  he  gave  with  considerable 
spirit.  W.  I.  Nolan,  of  Minneapolis, 
was  called  In  as  an  extra,  and  it  was  a 
move  that  was  very  much  appreciated 
by  the  audience.  He  is  a  clever  enter- 
tainer, and  his  dialect  and  imitations 
are  excellent.  Charles  Mandelert  gave  a 
pleasing  baritone  solo,  and  James  C. 
Ray  played  Bohen's  "Caprice"  on  the 
violin  with  much  spirit  and  expression. 
The  program  closed  with  another  num- 
ber by  the  quartet. 

After  the  Iprogram  there  was  a  dance, 
and  refreshments  were  served  in  the 
gallery. 


SUPERIOR  THE  WINNER. 


GROWING  BETTER. 


County's    Condition    In    the 

Matter  of  Funds  Is 

Improving. 

The  county  finances  are  in  much  bet- 
ter shape  than  they  were  a  year  ago 
at  this  time,  and  nearly  every  day's 
balances  on  the  books  of  the  county 
treasurer   show    that.       For     instance, 

there  is  usually  at  this  time  of  year, 
or  has  been  for  some  time  past,  over- 
drafts in  the  poor  and  road  funds.  There 
is  one  this  year,  but  it  is  small  compared 
to  what  it  was  last  year.  Yesterday 
the  overdraft  amounted  to  $47,000  in 
the  two  funds,  while  a  year  ago  yes- 
terday it  amounted  to  $91,000. 

Collections,  especially  of  back  taxes, 
are  also  much  better  than  they  were 
last  year.  Current  tax  collections  run 
about  the  same  or  a  little  better,  but 
back  taxes  come  In  much  more  freely 
than  they  did  last  year.  This  is  of 
course  due  In  a  large  measure  to  the 
forfeited  tax  law,  which  permits  the 
payment  of  taxes  for  the  year  1895  and 
prior  years  without  penalties  and  In- 
terest. While  as  a  rule  the  larger  tax- 
payers are  holding  off  to  wait  for  the 
sale  next  year  hoping  to  buy  in  their 
property  for  the  amount  of  the  state 
tax,  many  Individual  property  owners 
are  content  to  get  the  benefit  the  law 
intended  to  provide  and  no  more,  and 
they  are  yaping  the  taxes  without  penal 
ties  and  intere.'»t.  Monday  was  not  an 
especially  lively  day  in  the  collection 
of  taxes,  but  the  amount  of  back  taxes 
taken  in  was  $36,000  against  $25,000  on 
the  .same  day  last  year. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  forfeited  tax 
law  there  are  over  two  months  more  in 
which  payment  of  taxes  without  penal- 
ties and  interest  may  be  made.  After 
June  1  It  will  not  be  possible  to  do  this, 
but  property  may  l>e  redeemed  by  pay- 
ing the  taxes  with  10  per  cent  Interest 
frorn  June  1,  with  the  costs  of  proceed- 
ings. 

Another  i)leasing  feature  is  that  the 
amount  of  money  in  defunct  banks  has 
been  much  reduced  since  this  time  la.st 
year.  Then  the  amount  was  $298,000,  and 
now  the  amount  in  .soak  in  dead  bank- 
ing in.stltutions  is  only  $189,000,  a  re- 
duction of  $109,000. 


Rubbed  it  Into  the   Duluth   Men   at 
Whist. 

Superior  was  "in  it"  all  round  last 
evening.  The  curlers  who  came  over 
hen*  vanquished  their  opponents,  and 
the  whist  players  did  the  Fame  thing. 
Ten  whist  teiams  came  over  from  Su- 
perior and  played  an  equal  number  of 
teams  from  here.  The  contest  was  a 
lively  one,  but  the  Sup>erior  men  were 
too  much  for  the  Duluth  players  and 
won  out  by  a  comfortable  margin.  This 
is  the  fifth  time  the  *wo  clubs  have 
met.  Duluth  has  won  two,  Superior 
two,  and  one  was  a  tie.  The  following 
was  the  score:

CISSY  FITZGERALD. 
Cissy  Fitzgerald,  the  famous  'Gaiety" 
dancer,  who  has  created  such  asensati^m 
in  both  London  and  New  York  by  ht^r 
wonderful  beauty  and  rare  grace,  will 
appear  on  Monday  evening  next  at  the 
Lyceum  in  the  latest  comedy  success. 
"The  Foundling,"  which  is  brimful  of 
fun,  and  was  a  rattling  success  at  Hoyfs 
theater  in  New  York,  where  it  had  a  run 
of  over  200  nights.  It  is  cleverly  written, 
as  are  all  the  plays  which  have  been 
turned  out  by  William  Lestocq,  who.«,- 
comedy,  "Jane."  scored  such  a  brilliant 
hit  some  years  ago.  E.  M.  Robson  has 
collaborated  with  Lestocq  on  "The 
Foundling."  which  deals  with  the  mis- 
fortunes of  a  young  man  who  discovers 
most  unexpectedly  that  he  is  a  found- 
ling.

Ex-tnder  Sheriff  Goes  After  Sheriff 
Sargent. 

J.  R.  Meining,  who  was  under  sheriff 
for  W.  C.  Sargent  for  some  time,  and 
who  was  released  by  him  several 
months  ago,  has  sued  the  sheriff  for 
$2983.30  for  expenses  alleged  to  have 
been  incurred  in  electing  Mr.  Sargent. 
It  is  alleged  in  the  complaint  that 
money  to  a  large  amount  was  paid  out 
by  the  plaintiff  for  the  defendant,  and 
that  his  services  were  worth  $1875.  The 
largest  items  are  $45  for  election  ex- 
penses, $290  for  trips  about  the  county, 
$12  for  lunches  at  Boyles'  and  Pike 
Lake,  $60  for  sundries  purchased  from 
A.  C.  Steele,  $65  for  cigars  from  H.  T. 
Dinham,  $45  for  sundries  purchased 
from  Jay  Anderson,  etc.  The  case  will 
be  tried  at  the  March  term.  W.  U. 
Phelps  is  Meining's  jutorney. 


DEL  CONTE  OPERA  COMPANY. 

The  Del  Conte  Italian  Grand  Opera 
company  will  be  seen  at  the  Lyceum 
theater  next  Tuesday  and  Wednesday 
night.s.  The  "first  night"  of  ltali:in 
grand  opera  bids  fair  to  be  an  event 
never  excelled  in  brilliancy  in  the  an- 
nals of  musical  engagements  in  this 
city.  On  that  occasion  an  ojiera.  nevi-r 
presented  in  this  country  save  by  this 
organization,  will  be  given.  It  is  en- 
titled "La  Boheme,"  and  is  a  master- 
piece, by  Puccini.  It  marks  a  new 
epoch  in  scheme  ami  music,  and.  as 
given  by  this  company,  keeps  thi-  atteii- 
tiim  of  the  audience  fiom  the  Very  start. 
The  most  conservative  and  staid  musical 
(jrillcs  have  been  most  enthusiastic  over 
its  beautiful  music,  daintily  merging 
from  gaiety  to  sadne.ss;  and  in  its  Im- 
passioned flights  of  soul-thrilling  song 
one  forgets  that  it  is  being  sung  In  a 
foreign  tongue. 

No  less  interesting  and  pleasing  will 
be  the  brilliant  double  bill  chosen  for 
Wednesday  night,  when  "Cavalliera 
Rusticana"  and  "I'Pagliacci"  will  be 
most  completely  and  artistically  pre- 
sented.

MISICAL 
FESJIVAL 

Scandinavian  Singers^  Sang- 

fest  In  August  Will  Be  a 

Great  Event. 


LASTS    EOIR    DAYS 


Si\    Hundred     Singers    Will 

Participate  In  the  Great 

Concert. 


The  foiu'th  biennial  musical  festival 
of  the  N'orthwestern  Scandinavian  Sinvr- 
ers'  a.ssociation,  of  which  some  men- 
tion has  been  made  recently,  will  be  a 
very  important  event  from  more  than 
one  standpoint.  For  one  thing,  it  will 
i;ive  the  people  of  Duluth  an  opportuni- 
ty of  hearing  a  grand  chorus  of  about 
(WO  voices,  which  is  something  that  is 
not  often  heard.  Then  all  these  people 
and  a  great  many  more  will  be  in  Du- 
luth for  four  or  tive  days,  and  this  will 
.T.ean  a  goo(i  deal  of  money  for  the  mer- 
(  hunts  and  hotel  and  boardinjihouse 
keepers.  The  sangfest  will  be  held 
in  Duluth  about  the  middle  of  Augu-t. 
though  the  exact  dates  have  not  yet 
been  lixeil.  The  place  in  which  it  will 
be  held  has  not  yet  been  named,  but  the 
l-.irgesl  hall  that  is  obtainable  will  l»e 
secured.  It  will  take  a  large  stage  to 
seat  600  singers,  and  the  concerts  that 
will  be  given  will  draw  immense  crowds. 
N'ot  only  will  the  people  of  Duluth  at- 
tend, but  large  numbers  from  all  ovei 
the  territory  of  the  association  wiil  be 
in  attencJance.  For  instance.  about 
twenty-tive  singers  are  expected  from 
Sioux  Falls.  S.  D.,  and  they  will  bring 
a  similar  number  who  do  not  come  as 
sin.ijers.    but   as    listeners. 

The  association  includes  all  of  the 
Xorthwestern  states,  west  as  far  ar. 
Montana,  east  as  far  as  Michigan,  south 
as  far  as  Nebraska,  and  north  .is 
lar  as  Minnesota.  All  of  the  states  i  . 
this  territory  will  send  dele.gates,  and 
most  of  the  cities  and  towns.  There 
will  be  at  least  fiOO  singers,  and  if  satis- 
satisfactory  railroad  rates  are  secured 
there  will  "be  still  more.  The  cotnmit- 
tee  on  transportation  will  go  down  t' 
St.  Paul  in  May  to  see  about  the  rates. 
In  view  of  the  immense  crowds  that  tire 
expected  it  is  not  believed  that  there 
will  be  any  difliculty  in  .getting  favorable 
rates. 

The  fest  will  last  about  four  days, 
and  two  great  concerts  will  he  given, 
one  in  Duluth  and  one  in  Superinr. 
Gf  course  there  will  be  a  great  deal 
of  expen.se  connected  with  such  a  lar.ge 
gathering,  and  the  local  singing  socie- 
ties are  now  making  plans  for  entertain- 
ments to  rai.se  the  amount  of  money  ne- 
cessary. The  largest  entertainment 
that  will  be  given      is      no\\ 

in  process  of  arrange- 

ment. The  Normanna  Singing  society 
01"  this  city,  has  challenged  all  of  the 
other  societies  at  the  head  of  the  lakes 
to  a  grand  contest.  This  will  be  held 
in  a  couple  of  month?,  and  it  will  be 
very  interesting.  A  concert  will  be 
given  at  which  the  different  societies 
v.ill  participate  in  a  contest  to  deter- 
mine which  is  the  best  lot  of  singers 
and  competent  judges  will  decide  on  the 
relative  merits  irf  the  contestants.  This 
concert  will  be  given  in  Duluth  and  Su- 
perior, and  it  is  expected  to  .go  a  long 
way  toward  raising  the  necessary 
amount  of  funds.  Jhen  there  will  be 
bazars  and  other  entertainments  by  the 
various   societies. 

The  board  of  officers  of  the  associa- 
tion will  meet  here  May  1  to  make  ar- 
rangements for  the  festival.  The  presi- 
dent of  the  association.  C.  J.  Hailing

WILL  NOT  RAISE  THE  MAINE. 


The  Court  of  inquiry  Comes  to   That 
Determination. 

New  York,  I'eb.  i;,",.— The  Mail  and  Ex- 
piess  this  evening  i)rints  the  folloAving, 
riated  at  Havana  today: 

The  United  States  naval  board  of  in- 
(|uiry  continued  to<lay  taking  the  testi- 
mony of  the  diveis  who  have  been 
working  in  the  wreck  of  the  Maine. 
Those  who  \\  eie  sent  here  from  the 
battleship  1  )\^'a  and  the  cruiser  New 
York  were  examined. 

"While,  of  (ours-'.  the  most  of  the 
court  will  not  talk  for  publication.  1 
am  informed  on  the  highest  authority 
that  the  testimony  of  Diver  Mor.gan  as 
to  the  condition  )f  the  Maine  shows 
that  almost  lit-yoml  the  possibility  of  a 
doubt,  in  the  opinion  of  my  informant, 
the  Maine  was  l)lown  up  by  an  outside 
agency.  Furthermore,  Morgan's  report 
was  verilied  by  the  other  American 
divers  wh:)  descended  lod.ay. 

The  court  viP.  finish  its  work  hert^ 
tomorrow  anc:  proceed  at  once  to  Key 
West  to  take  the  ie..;timon.v  of  the  sur- 
vi\'or.s  there.  It  has  also  been  decided 
not  to  return  to  Havana,  all  the  infor- 
mation as  t )  the  eause  of  the  disastci- 
obtainable  here  ha\  ing  been  secured.  It 
is  believed  t  lat  ;i  decision  has  been 
l>i'actically  reached.  The  witnesses  yet 
to  be  examined  will  hardly  change  the 
verdict. 

The  court  has  ilecided  against  any 
attempt  to  i-alse  the  ruined  b<attleshi]). 
The  membeis  are  convinced  that  it 
would  be  useless  as  she  could  never 
be  kept  afloat  .and  the  .Si)anish  authoii- 
ties  here  will  be  iiil'ormed  that  if  they 
wish  the  wreck  re.iioved  from  the  h:u- 
lior  they  must  attend  to  the  work  them- 
selves. This  decision  .gives  a  better 
idea  of  the  t  -rrible  havoc  wrou.:;ht  in 
the  Maine  than  rolumns  of  deseri|>- 
tion   could   do. 

The  Merrill  Wi.rkiJig  company,  ii 
was  announced  todiiy.  wanted  $i',(mmi,'mm) 
I0  raise  the  wreck.  Th<>  company's  ic- 
)iiirls  detenniiKMl  ilie  court  after  \  iew- 
iiig  (he  condition  of  the  ship.  Thi- 
wreckers  tofl;iy  tinned  their  altentiou 
to  savin.u;  tin-  gre:il  gun.s.  These  at 
least  can  be  recovered  in  suHieiciii|\ 
good  condition   to  warrant   the  effort. 

Twenty  unknown  bodies  of  the  crew 
were  recovered  frcin  the  wreck  by  the 
divers  at  noon  today.  The  bodies  weic 
frisrhtfully  burned  and  mangled  and  it 
may  be  Impo.ssible  to  ever  identify  some 
of  them. 

Holzer,  who  made  such  a  brave  fight 
for  life,  died  in  the  hospital  today.  All 
the  wounded  vill  li'ave  here  Sunday  on 
the  P.ache  for  K>y  West.  The  physi- 
ci,ins  consider  It  safe  to  move  them 
now.

He  Will  Be  a  Candidate 

For  Governor. 


IS  SEEKING  SIPPORT 


A  Number  of  Sixth  District 

Politicians  Here  For  a 

Conference. 


A  party  of  piomlnent  Republican  p-o- 
litical  lights  are  in  Duluth  thi.s  aft- r- 
noon.  and  they  are  putting  in  their  time 
rounding  up  the  local  politiclan.s.  A.  !■". 
Ferris,  cashier  of  the  First  National 
bank  of  Brainerd  and  member  of  tic 
legislature,  and  N.  H.  Ingersoll.  editor 
of  the  Hrainerd  Dispatch,  arrived  this 
morning.  The  Eastern  Minnesota  train 
this  afternoon  brought  Judge  L.  W.  Col- 
Jins  of  St.  Cloud,  who  is  something  of  a 
candidate  for  governor;  ^  H.  c.  Dunn, 
fctate  auditor:  Alvah  Eastman,  receiver 
»>f  the  St.  Cloud  land  office  and  editor  of 
the  St.  Cloud  Journal-Press,  and  A.  X. 
]Jare,  editor  of  the  Elk  River  Nt  ws. 

The  meeting  in  Duluth  is  purely  acci- 
dental. Bob  Dunn  informed  a  Herald 
reporter,  and  his  evidence  was  corro- 
iboiated  by  otheT  merr^bers  of  the  party. 
He  said  he  had  important  private  bu./i- 
noss  in  Duluth  today,  and  that  he  was 
greatly  surprised  when  Collins.  Eastman 
and  Date  boarded  the  tiain  at  St.  Cloud. 
Ho  did  not  know  what  their  busine-~« 
h.tre  was. 

AVhen  Judge  Collins  was  asked  if  h^ 
was  running  for  governor  in  this  past 
of  tht-  state,  he  replied,  "not  now."  ilr^ 
admitted,  however,  that  if  he  should 
start  in  the  race  later  in  the  seas<m  it 
would  not  b-  a  bad  idea  to  look  over 
the  track  a  little  in  advance  and  hunt 
out  the  rough  i)laces. 

When  Air.  I^asiman  was  asked  what 
brought  so  many  editors  here  at  the 
same  time  he  replied  with  great  humor. 
'■l)asses." 

The  party  was  met  at  th^  St.  Douis 
by  seveial  local  i<oliticians,  amons? 
them  Iieing  K.  D.  Fisher  and  J.  M. 
.'-'iiiith.  After  meeting  a  number  id" 
gentlemen  Jud.ge  Collins  became  impa- 
li L'Ut  and  urged  upon  his  associates  th 
necessity  of  moving,  and  they  startcl 
for  the  federal  building  to  see  L.  M. 
Willeuts  and  Senator  Culkin  of  the 
land  oflice. 

The  Herald  understands  that  the  visit 
of  so  many  distinguishe^d  gentlemen  to 
Duluth  today  may  be  attended  with 
considerable  pcditical  si.gniflcance  in 
spite  of  the  protestations  that  their 
coming  is  accidental.  The  result  of  the 
several  conferences  that  will  be  hell 
this  afternoon  v/ill  determine  whethc' 
or  not  Judge  Collins  \\ill  l>ecome  an  a.g- 
gressive  candidate  for  the  Republican 
■.omination  for  governor.  His  politi- 
cal friends  have  made  a  careful 
thorough,  quiet  canvass  of  the  Sixth 
congressional  district  and  they  will  ex- 
change notes  here  with  the  Duluth  Re- 
publicans of  inlluence.  If  it  is  decided 
at  the  final  council  this  evening  that 
the  conditions  are  favorable  Judge  Col- 
lins will  boldly  announce  his  candidacy 
and  lake  the  aggressive.  His  position 
up  to  this  time  has  been  that  he  would 
accept  the  nomination  if  in  the  wisdom 
of  the  leaders  it  should  be  deemed  ne- 
cessary to  preserve  harmony  in  the 
grand  old  party.

Springlield.  111.,  Feb.  :J.— The  delegates 
attending  the  state  convention  of

against  a  joint  scale,  and  in  the  heat 
of  passion  .said  the  Chicago  &  Alton 
railway  had  assured  him  a  rate  to  Chi- 
cagft  that  would  be  low  enough  fre 
him  to  sell  his  coal  there,  no  matter

Wa«»hington,  Feb.  2.o.— (Special  to  The 
Herald.)— Minnesota  failed  to  secure 
the  election  of  a  national  officer  of  the 
society  of  the  Daughters  of  the  Ameri- 
can Revolution  thrDugh  the  failure  of 
the  delegates  from  the  state  to  agree 
on  a  candidate.  Mrs.  Page  Morris. 
of  Duluth,  and  Mrs.  Newport,  of  St. 
Paul,  were  candidates  for  vice  presi- 
dent general.  As  a  result  neither  se- 
cured an  election. 

Washington,  Feb.  2.".— The  electing  of 
officers  of  the  Daughters  of  the  Ameri- 
can Revolution,  as.-^embled  in  congress 
here,  continued  last  night,  and  the  fol- 
ic'Win.g  e)fflcers  were  elected: 

Mrs.  Daniel  Manning  was  elected 
pre-sident  general,  she  receiving  396 
voters.  Mrs.  Donald  McLean  receivexi 
110  votes  and  Mrs.  Re)se  Brackett  22. 
Mrs.  A.  D.  Brockett,  of  Virginia,  was 
C'h  ctetl  vice  picsident  general  in  charge 
01    organizing   chapters.      Mrs.    Charles 

A.  Stakely.  of  AVashington.  was  re- 
.leeted  chaplain  general.  The  recording 
se(  I'ctary  general  elected  was  Mrs. 
Albert  Akers:  register  general.  Miss  Sue 
Hetzel:    treasurer    general.    Mrs.    Mark 

B.  Hatch,  these  being  also  of  Washing- 
ton. 

Other  officers  elected  were  Mrs.  Robert 
S.  Hatcher,  of  Maryland,  assistant  his- 
torian general,  and  Mrs.  Gertrude  Bas» 
com.  Darwin,  librarian  general. 

When  the  nominations  for  the  twenty 
\ice  presiilenir  rencal  were  reached. 
Mrs.  Page  :M:.r:-i?.  r,;"  Minnesota,  was 
nominated  for  vice  president  of  that 
state  by  Mrs.  J.  B.  Beale.  who  said  sue 
represented  the  regents  of  St.  Paul 
chapter  and  the  general  voice  of  that 
chapter. 

An  objection  was  raiseil  by  Mrs.  Tor- 
rcnce,  njt  against  Mrs.  Morris  person- 
3.11y,  but  because  she  was  unknown  to 
the  dau.ghters  of  the  stale.  She  said  Mrs. 
Newport,  state  regent,  was  the  candi- 
date for  the  state. 

Mrs.  Newport  declined  to  have  her 
name  used,  saying  she  had  not  resigned 
her  oflice  of  state  regent  to  pe^k  a 
higher  oflice,  but  preferred  to  serve  the 
organization  as  a  high  private.  The 
discussion  ovei*  this  nominati  in  was 
(|uite  animateil.  After  Mrs.  Newport's 
withdi-awal.  Mr.~.  Torrence  said  Minne- 
.^ota  ilid  not  wish  any  oflice.  but  Mrs. 
Morris'  name  would  st.and  for  election. 

There  was  a  feeling  of  satisfjctii>n 
and  lelief  among  the  Dau.ghters  of  the 
American  Revolution  today  that  the 
cKcitin.ir  scenes  of  thv  i-U'ction  were

For    Two    Artillery    Regiments 
favorably  Reported. 

Washington.  Feb.  2.'..— Then-  was  only 
one  vote  in  the  house  committee  on 
military  affairs  against  favorably  re- 
jiorting  the  senate  bill  providing  for  two 

additional  regiments  of  artillery.  It 
was  delivered  by  Cox.  a  Democrat,  of 
Tennep.«ee.  There  was  an  informal  dis- 
cussion of  the  necessity  of  those  two 
additional  regiments  to  man  the  coast 
defenses  of  the  country,  and  some  gen- 
eral opposition  was  expressed  by  Cox 
to  increasing  the  army.  He  contended 
that  in  the  event  of  war  the  volunteers 
could  man  these  guns. 

He  also  expressed  the  opinion  that 
reporting  this  bill,  which  has  been  be- 
fore congress  for  several  years,  at  this 
particular  time  might  be  misunder- 
stood by  the  country.  He  thought  it 
might  be  construed  as  direct  action  of 
congress  in  prejiaration  for  war. 

On  the  <ither  hand  it  was  contended 
by  those  who  declared  that  ihey  diei 
not  lielieve  that  war  was  immin  nt. 
that  refusal  to  report  the  bill  might  be 
misconstrued.  The  sentiment,  how- 
ever, was  overwhelming  for  those  two 
additional  regiments  to  properly  man 
guns  which  are  bang  erected  along  the 
coast. 


CHICAGO  HAY  CO.MPANY. 


Trust  Formed  to  Handle   the   North- 
west Hay  Crop. 

Chicago.  Feb.  25.— One  of  the  largest 
trusts  formed  in  years  has  been  organ- 
ized in  Chicago  under  the  name  of  the 
Chicago  Hay  c<-impany.  Although  the 
organization  is  under  Michigan  laws,  the 

headquarters  will   be  in   this  city.     The 

organization  will  include  more  than  100 

of   the   buyers  and   shippers  of  hay   in 

the  states  of  Indiana.  Illinois.  Ohio  and 

31ichigan.    The  lapital  stock  is  $l.<>>ij.iK>0. 

A   tract   of  land   near   Buffalo   is   to    be 

I'urcha.sed    as    a    site    for    an    immense 

warehouse.     Buffalo  i*  selected   as   the 

]  place    for    the    warehouse    because    the 

I  bulk  of  hay  to  be  handled  will  be  mar- 

1  keted  in  New  En.sriand. 

j      F.    W.    Lowe,    president    of   the   Allen 

Lc»he  compan.v.  of  this  state,  is  the  or- 

'  iginator  of  the  scheme.     A  meeting  will 

'  b(    held   at  Toledo,   Ohio.   March   l.'i.   to 

( omplete   the   organization.      Mr.    Lowe 

I  says  it  will  not   be  the  object  to  raise 

I  the   price   of   hay    to    the   consumer   or 

i  lower  the  price  paid  to  the  farmer,  l^ut 

j  to   handle   the   product   at   a   legitimate 

'  prolit   and   not    at    any    time    to   put    a 

fictitious  value  on  hay.

^AVAL  MILITIA. 
Providing    For   Construction   of 


Cleveland.  Feb.  2:..— The  Iron  Trade 
Itcviow  says:  Whib-  the  t  v<My  d.iy 
transactions  in  the  iron  trade  have  not 
been  affe(  led  by  thi'  Stirring  interna- 
tional developments  of  the  past  we>k, 
it  is  evident  that  the  present  uneasi- 
ness has  produced  a  hesitaney  in  som  ■ 
(luarters.  It  Is  one.  though  no-t  the 
sole.  cKcasion  of  delay  in  the  comple- 
tion  tif   thi-  wire  consolidation.   \'alu  s 

are  not  fully  agreed  vpon  a.s  yet. 
though  conferences  have  been  in  prog- 
ress in  New  York  for  some  days,  and 
the  adjustm  nts  between  appraisers' 
valuations  and  those  of  owners  le- 
i;uire  more  time  than  had  been  antici- 
pated. Yet  these  tjuestions  are  over- 
shadowed by  th'  war  talk  which  tem- 
P  irarily  calls  a  halt  on  all  new  under- 
takings. It  may  be  two  weeks,  pos- 
sibly longer,  before  th?  underwriters' 
j.art  in  the  givat  deal  is  performed. 

It  is  not  to  b-  expected  that  a  trans- 
action involving  the  payment  of  |2'>.- 
Oiio.OOO  in  cash  «an  be  put  through 
while  eVL-ry  day  brings  new  alarms. 
.\nd  the  fact  that  all  Eiirop"  is  ein- 
bi(!iled  in  complications  that  may  be- 
eonie  serious  any  week,  is  particularly 
apt  to  set  back  proj  lits  which,  like  the 
wire  combination,  depend  for  their  xe- 
eution  on  foreign  capital.  Th-  month 
of  February,  thus  far.  has  shown  a 
letting  down  from  the  records  of  De- 
eember  and  Januai.v,  so  far  as  new 
business  is  concern  d.  though  lurnace 
and  mill  outputs  have  coniinued  at 
high-water  mark.  It  would  seem  that 
production  has  be^■n  brought  to  its 
present  height  through  the  general 
agre>-m>nt  that  ^'^'.<s  wii!  be  a  year  of 
large  business,  and  early  preparation 
has  been  made  by  producers  to  meet  a 
demand  not  yet  realized.  Yet  th-  in- 
iiuiry  in  many  lin^-s  gives  indicati  >n 
of  ihc  large  business  just  ahead  and 
invich  of  which  within  a  month  or  two 
is  likely  to  l)e  found  on  the  order  books 
of  the  "mills.  Her--  and  there  prices  of 
linished  material  have  yi.elded  a  tri th- 
under the  wait  of  the  past  three  weeks. 
In  general,  th-  eVenuess  of  the  mark't 
sinee  Dec.  1,  under  the  enormous  con- 
sumi.tion  going  on  in  all  lines  is  pra<- 
lieallv  with<.ut  a  parallel  in  .he  history 
.I'f  the  trade.  A  further  meeting  of 
Southern  pig  ir<in  prodU(  eiii  is  b  ing 
lieid  this  v.eek.  It  is  believed  some  b.-t- 
terment  in  prices  on  Si>uthern  irons 
4  will  come  out  of  it.  but  there  ar  ob- 
j-ciions  to  overcome,  to  the  plan  of  a 
(ommission  to  have  oversight  of  sales 
and  to  enforce  any  agreement  the  fur- 
nace companies  may  make  as  to 
prices. 

Though  no  sales  of  1898  ores  are  an- 
nounced outside  of  the  Mesaba  com- 
plement of  the  Illinois  Steel  company. 
it  is  und  rstood  that  certaiii  furnace- 
men  are  ready  to  make  arrang-ments 
for  the  bulk  of  their  He.asem-r  suppli  s 
as  soon  as  the  computations  on  old- 
range  ores  are  completd.  It  is  exppct- 
te<l  that  a  meeting  in  the  latter  part  of 
this  week  will  put  the  schedules  m 
Iinal  shap'.  Two  questions  t)f  som  '  in- 
t-rest  to  the  irade  just  now  are:  What 
prices  will  Mesaba  ores  bring,  relative 
to  those  of  1R97.  and  what  onantity  of 
old-range,  ores  will  the  1  ading  Pitts- 
burg comiany  takt  ?  M  saba  asking 
prices  will  be  al>ove  the  Itasis  of  last 
vear:  the  advance  made  in  old-range 
Besstmeis.  at  least,  will  l>e  -xpected 
by  the  r.rcducers  there  whose  produ<  t 
gots  on  the  .-i.en  market.  They  ar- 
certain  that  th^ir  ores,  on  th  ir  merits, 
are  entitle  il  to  more  than  this,  but 
against  these  considerations  ar^  two 
inlUi^ntial  ones:  The  supply  is  great 
and  the  demand  is  limited.  Last  y  ar, 
panic  seemed  to  overtake  some  Mesaba 
sellers  just  at  the  time  in  which  a  little 
steady  holding  on  would  have  tided 
over  th-  strain.  Whether  the  same- 
precif.itancy  to  sell  will  be  seen 
vear  v.ill  develop  within  the 
month  or  so.  As  to  the  other  ciuestion: 
It  '«  foregone  that  the  shipments  from 
the  Oliv.r  Mir.ing  company's  prop- 
■rties  will  be  approximately  doubl- 
those  of  IVj-.  Th-  Mesaba  shipments, 
in  view  of  the  limitations  on  thi-  use  .>•" 
these  c-res  established  by  1S97  practic. 
are  nf)t  likely  to  ex«  eed  those  of  last 
year.  The  probabilities  are  that  up- 
wards of  T.iO.Oiii)  tons  of  old-range  ores 
will  be  bought:  the  amoimt 
100.000  to  200.1100  tons  alH>\e

streets  caug'it  fire  this  morning:  about 

s  o'clock,  and  from  present  indication;^ 
it  si-ems  ih.t  the  whole  building  will 
go.  The  plant  rovers  an  entire  square 
ai:d  is  filled  \.ith  tobacro  whieh  has  been 
bought   during  th  •  past   .six  months. 

John  Dorhoefer.  manager  of  the  plant, 
says  if  the  vhole  building  is  destroytHj. 
the  total  loss  will  be  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  $2,00'),000.  Several  persons  have- 
been  injured  by  the  tailing  walls  and 
many  employes  received  injuries  whil<» 
II I  tempting  to  escape  from  the  burning 
building.  A  list  of  the  injure'd  cannot 
r.ou  be  obtanied.  The  tin'  originated 
in  the  dryini.-  room.  No  cause  is  known 
othei-   than  .-pontane<ius  ( i>mbusti  m. 

The  ;)itking.  drying  and  steamin-.; 
\\  .■iiehouses    weri"    totally    destroyed. 

From  the  !-story  drying  building  ih, 
tlames  spread  rapidly  west  to  the  4- 
story  warehouse  and  east  to  th  ■  S-story 
sitaming  house.  In  the  building  wliii'li 
llrst  c-aughi  I'Oei  hands,  mostly  women 
and  ( hildren,  were  employed,  but  th' 
n.ajority  of  ihes-  escaped  safely,  only 
a  few  bein:?  slightly  injured,  as  200 
were  at  work  in  the  steaming  building. 
In  the  4-story  warehouse  looo  nun  wer<» 
at    work,    but    th- y    had    plenty   of   time 

to    eSi-ape.

whii  h   the   National   Tobacco   company 

(f  Louisvilb    is  a  branch,  is  in  the  <ity 

and  said  that  it  will  be  rebuilt  at  once. 

The  tlames  gained  rapid  h.-adway  and 
th  '  fire  department  was  hindered  to  a 
great  degret  by  a  lack  of  water,  seven 
■engines  being  at  one  time  useless.  Fall- 
ing walls  a  Ided  to  the  danger  of  the 
w<uk  and  the  est-ap  •  of  some  of  ih-^ 
firemen  was  all  l»ut  miraculous.  When 
the  alarm  (  f  fire  was  sounded  in  th  • 
picking  (bpirtment  the  employes  of 
this  building  began  to  make  their  es- 
<ape  in  an  orderly  manU' r.  but  George 
Tisshenderf.  foreman  of  two  of  the 
floors,  and  John  P;ii  kh.un  and  William 
Semple  remained  t-io  long  in  th<-  burn- 
ing i>uil<ling  and  were  forced  to  jump 
for  their  liv  s. 

Fourteen  hundred  men.  women  and 
children  are  thrown  out  of  employment 
The  origin  rf  the  fire  is  unknown.  The 
night  watchman  said  he  left  the  l.uiM- 
■ng  to  go  home  at  6  o'clock  and  that 
everything  was  all  right  then.  The 
force-  of  the  employes  go  to  worU.  at 
t5::^0  and  it  was  not  until  after  they 
started  ti)  work  that  the  fire  started.

Alderman  Sang  visited  the  .Marinette 
works  yesterday  to  inspect  the  work  on 
the  city  pumping  machinery.  He  said 
today  that  he  had  never  attempted  to 
influence  Superintendent  Crawford  in 
the  employment  of  men  on  the  work, 
and  that  the  intimation  made  in  the 
Nt  ws  Tribime  this  morning  that  he  had 
tried  to  secure  (daces  for  inex|»erienced 
persons  was  wholly  without  foundation. 
He  said  he  was  satisfied  that  the  work 
was  going  forward  in  a  satisfactory 
manner  and  that  he  could  see  no  reason 
to  criticise  it.  The  jiropositiem  to  let 
the  steamfitting  work  on  the  machinery 
by  ontract  does  not  meet  with  Alder- 
man Sang's  ajiproval.  It  has  been 
claimed  by  plumbers  that  the  city  would 
save  ?1000  if  this  work  is  done  by  con- 
tract instead  of  by  the  city  under  the 
supervision  of  Superintendent  Craw 
fo:d.  The  alderman  has  been  unable 
to  see  how  contractor.'^  could  perform 
the  work  at  less  expense  than  would  be 
incurred  by  the  present  arrangement.

MAY  LOSE  HIS  EYE. 
The  young  s  >n  of  C.  C  (insgood.  the 
milkman,  living  at  421  South  Seventieth 
avenue  west,  met  with  a  painful  acci- 
dent recently  which  may  result  in  the 
loss  of  the  sight  of  (me  of  his  eyes.  The 
boy  is  a  pupil  of  the  Fairmont  school. 
While  stooping  to  tie  his  shoe  a  com- 
panion playfully  thrust  a  pen  upward 
in  his  face.  It  struck  him  in  the  eye 
and  gave  him  excruciating  pain.  He 
was  taken  ti  a  {ihysician,  who  did  not 
at  first  r-  insider  the  injury  a  very  serious 
oiu'.  The      inflammation      incrt'ased. 

however,  and  yesterday  the-  boy  was 
examined  by  a  specialist,  who  '-x- 
I  i^essed  doubt  as  to  whether  the  sio-ht 
of  the  injured  member  couM  be  saved. 
It  is  cjuite  certain  that  it  will  at  least 
I'c  permanently  impaired  if  not  totally 
ilcstroyed.

JirONed    ol     t'ne    prec;iUtionive    (-.-lerisures 

tak'-n  by  the  stre'^t  commissioner,  and 
exj»r<'ssc<^l  the  opinion  that  the  city  could 
in  no  wa.v  be  held  responsible  foi-  any 
damage  that  may  be  sustained  by  the 
Incline  railwa.v.  Men  are  still  at  work 
(Utting  trenc-hes  in  the  ice.  It  will  be  a 
diflicult  matter  to  save  the  bi-idges  when 
the  spring  thaw  comes. 


if 
n 
wise  man  says  'mont-y 
all  things.'  This  Is  true, 
a  Wondrous  thing.  In  a  true 
Sense  niotu-y  is  yourse-lf  stored  uj>  for 
future  use.  A  l)oy  earns  $10  per  week: 
when  he  is  paid  and  puts  the  money  In 
his  pocket,  lie  pockets  a  week's  wirth  of 
himself.  Where  he  shall  lo.^e  this  st<»reu 
self  is  a  serious  question.  In  the  mat- 
t.  r  of  storing  and  losing,  money  is  like 
in-  cirlcity.  You  have  your  battery 
charged:  you  uish  t-  illiuidnate  your 
roiim;  you  make  your  jiroper  attach- 
ini-nts.  an>i  lo.  the  room  is  light.  But 
now  >ou  wish  power;  you  change  y  >ur 
aitac  hmt-nts,  and  now  the  sewing  ma- 
chine ilics.  .-Vgain,  you  wish  locomo- 
tion; you  change  your  attachments  and 
the  trollt->-  car  runs.  Once  more,  you 
wish  intercommunii-ation:  change  your 
attachments  again  and  you  telegraph  to 
' 'liina.  I'inally.  >eiu  wisii  to  kill  a  man; 
chang'  your  attachments,  seat  him  m 
the  e|(  etric  chair,  press  the  button,  and 
he  is  dead.  Money  is  mueh  like  this.  It 
is  stored  lunver.  It  is  yourself  stored 
up.     Wh(-re  shall  you  lose  it'.' 

••(me  man  loses  himself  in  pictures, 
and  pays  $40.(iOO  for  one  canvas.  An-

p  iwer  go  abroad,  and  the  missionary 
church  is  the  result.  Still  another  sets 
his  power  loose  in  riotous  living,  and  l.i. 
he  uses  himself  to  commit  suic-ide.  All 
this  shows  what  a  mysterious  and 
mighl.v  force  money  is.  It  is  simply  a 
device  for  stcjring  your  own  energy  and 
losing  it  again  anywhere  in  the  world. 

"The  Christian  believer  holds  that  ht 
belongs  to  C;od;  if  so.  his  j»ower  be - 
lings  to  God.  whether  stored  up  in 
money  or  not.  His  last  cent  is  not  his.

These  Itussians  had  been  accuse-d  of 
i>eing  filthy  in  their  habiis.  I  did  not 
find  them  more  so  than  are  many  na- 
tive-born .Americans  of  my  accjuaint- 
anc-e,  though,  to  be  sure,  certain  of  their 
customs  were  not  such  as  a  fastidious 
per.son  would  ajjprove:  while  others 
would  at  least  strike  him  as  pe-culiar 
.says  Kirk  .Munroe  in  Harper's  Maga- 
zine. It  was.  fi»r  instance,  soineuhat 
embarrassing,  when  I  was  ready  to  go 
to  bed.  to  have  the  entire  family 
gather-  curiously  about,  with  the  <-vi'- 
dent  intenti</n  of  witnessing  the  i>er- 
formance.  In  vain  did  1  ti-y  to  out-sit 
ihe.n.  but  they  declined  t<)  leave,  and 
remained,  laughing  with  e-ach  othe 
in  higli  enjoyment  of  the  situation.  I 
wa*  dead  tired,  and  finally,  in  ilespaw 
crawled  fully  dr«-.>^sed  between  the  two 
bather  beds  |»rei>arei'.  for  my  restjn.g 
place,  when-  I  cjuickly  feigned  to  sleep.

.softly  closed  the  door  and  began  hurried-

Inside  of  a  minute  the  door  was  flung

by  his  wife  anil  others.  As  he  smilingly 
iii'iuired  after  my  c-omfort,  and  if  there 
was  anything  I  wanted,  or  at  least  I 
thought  he  <lid  so.  I  repliec'  that  I  only

Brutal  Murder  of  Aborigines   In   the 
Australian  Wilds. 

A  great  sen.-^aiioii  has  been  caused  at 
Perth.  Western  Australia,  by  the  trial 
before  the  chief  justice  (Sir  Alexander 
(tnsl)W>  of  a  white  se^uatter  named 
Ernest  .\nders<Ki  for  the  murder  of  an 
iborigin.tl  called  -Spider.  "  and  of  two 
.tiler  aborigines,  •'Biddy"  and  Polly." 
In  spite  of  the  dearest  evidence  and  the 
plainest  direction  from  the  judge,  the 
jury  refused  to  convict  Anderson  of 
murder,  and  brought  in  a  verdict  of 
manslaughter  only,  says  the  St.  Jame-s' 
eb'zette.  1  believe  ne)  white  man  has 
ever  swung  for  a  black:  and  one  mem- 
ber of  the  jury  declared  he  would  sit  a 
week  if  necessary,  but  •'he  would  n^-ver 
hang  a  white  for  a  few  datnned  nig- 
gers." Thereup(jn  the  others  agreed. 
Anderson  is  said  to  have  been  intro- 
duced about  town  as  "the  man  who 
killed  that  lot  of  nigger.a."  His  only 
n-gn^t  was  that  he  w>uld  iiot  be  abb- 
lo  see  the  race  for  the  Perth  cuii.  The 
( hief  justice  said  ye^iterday  that  he 
tried  .%  similar  case  eighteen  months 
ogo.  but  then  only  one  black  was 
1'  iggeil  to  death,  and  the  jury  acfjuitted 
the  pri.-'oner  altogether. 

The  facts  in  this  case  are  peculiarly 
levolling,  and  the  brutality  revealed  is 
-f  an  almost  incredible  character. 
.•Seven  abc)riginals.  three  of  whom  were 
lilldren,  ran  away  from  Hendhu.  a  sta- 
tion in  the  Nirthwest.  which  was  man- 
aged by  two  lirothers  named  -\nderson. 
The  reason  for  their  flighi  was  said  to 
be  that  the  sheep  in  their  charge  had 
strayed,  and  they  were  afraid  to  face 
the  consecjuenc-es.  The  Andersons  pur- 
sued and  overtook  them  at  another  sta- 
tion twenty-five  miles  off.  On  the  way 
back  they  were  all  j  wed  no  food,  and  on 
leaching  Hendhu  they  were  tied  up 
while  the  brothe^rs  harl  their  dinner. 
.\fterward  the  wretched  natives  wcm-c 
nercilessly  flogged.  "Candy.  "  one  of 
the  adults,  was  first  attacked.  .Alexan- 
der Andc-rson  beat  him  till  he  was  tired. 
;.rd  then  his  brother  went  on  with  the 
thrashing.  •'Spider.  "  the  eldest  native, 
tried  to  run  away  again,  but  was 
brought  l)ack  and  securely  tied  by  the 
bgs  and  neck.  Then  he  was  flogged 
vvith  such  violence  that  he  died. 
■Biddy"  and  "Polly"  met  with  the  same 
fate.  Even  the  children.  "Louie"  and 
"Minnie."  one  12  and  the  other  S.  were 
flogged  with  the  same  knotted  r^pe. 

Among  the  local  c-ominunity  at  Bam- 
boo Creek  the  case  was  regarded  with  a 
disgraceful  leniency.  At  the  in<iuest 
the  jury  found  that  the  aboriginals  had 
"died  from  exhaustion;"'  a  rider  was 
added  '"censuring"  the  brothers  .Ander- 
son, and  ;i  bench  of  magistrates  inflicted 
a  few  paltry  fines  on  them  for  assault. 

Subseciuently.  by  order  of  the  i)ul)Ii<- 
pi  ).secutor,  the  IxKlies  of  the  dead  abori- 
gines were  exhumeKl.  and  after  expert 
examination  of  the  broken  limbs  an  in- 
dictment was  brought. 

Alexander  Anderson  died  of  typhoid 
fever  in  Freemantle  jail  before  being 
biought  to  trial.

PILLING  WIRES  AGAIN. 


.Many  ffforts  have  been  made  in  the 
past  to  promotf  a  railroad  enterprise  to 
develop  the  mineral  and  timber  resources 
of  Cook  county.  All  of  them  have  con- 
templated making  Grand  Marais  the 
lake  terminus,  because  the  best  natural 
harl)or  facilities  are  afforded  there,  and 
they  have  been  preatly  improved  by  the 
government.  About  a  year  ago  George 
Jlupky,  of  this  city,  was  the  local  repre- 
sentative of  a  syndicate  that  contem- 
plated building  a  railroad  from  Grand 
.Marais  to  Guntlint  lake,  and  open  up  the 
iron  deposits  known  to  exist  in  that  sec- 
tion. He  secured  an  option  on  some 
valuable  dock  property  at  Grand  Marais, 
and  then  made  some  explorations  in  the 
iron  district.  The  result  of  these  ex- 
plorations was  not  satisfactory,  and  it 
was  given  out  that  the  project  had  l>e>-n 
abandoned.  Now  comes  the  report  that 
the  Johnson  Nickel  company  has  com- 
pleted all  arrangements  for  building  this 
road  during  the  coming  spring  and  sum- 
mer. 

Thti  Johnson  Nickel  company  was  or- 
ganized a  number  of  years  ago,  and  has 
acquired  a  great  deal  of  property  in  Cook 
county  during  the  period  of  its  exisl- 
«nce.  It  is  said  that  it  was  preparing  tu 
do  some  extensive  development  work 
when  the  financial  panic  of  1893  com- 
pelled it  to  temporarily  suspend  opera- 
tions. .Since  then  it  has  done  more  or 
less  exploration  work  every  year,  and  the 
men  interested  in  it  have  maintained  a 
discreet  silence  in  regard  to  the  dis- 
coveries irtade.  The  Johnson  people 
have  always  maintained  that  the  iron 
deposits  in  Cook  county  were  rich  in 
nickel,  and  that  it  would  pay  to  work 
them  for  the  nickel  alone.  They  have 
bought  options  on  a  great  many  claims 
from  time  to  time,  and  recently  many  ot 
these  options  and  contracts  expired  by 
limitation. 

About  two  months  ago  representatives 
of  the  company  came  to  Duluth  and  took 
rooms  at  the  St.  Louis,  and  one  or  more 
of  them  have  been  here  almost  continu 
ally  since  that  time.  They  have  in  nearly 
every  instance  either  secured  a  renewal 
of  their  options,  or  made  the  paymen 
required  in  the  original  contract.  They 
have  in  this  way  distributed  among  tht 
owners  of  Cook  county  property  not  less 
than  $25,000  since  the  first  of  the  year, 
and  tlieir  investments  there  up  to  thi.'; 
time  represent  a  cash  outlay  of  about 
$100,000. 

A  gentleman  who  has  been  more  or 
less  conversant  with  their  plans  in- 
formed a  Herald  reporter  today  that  thf 
financial  difficulties  in  the  way  of  the 
comipany  have  been  overcome,  and  thai 
it  now  has  abundant  capital  with  whic', 
to  carry  out  its  plans.  He  said  that 
there  were  identified  with  the  company 
oome  of  the  best  known  and  wealthies 
men  in  Minnesota,  and  that  they  had 
fully  determined  to  build  a  railroad  and 
open  up  their  mines  during  the  presen' 
year.  They  have  kept  their  intentions 
secret  up  to  this  time  to  enable  them  U 
.secure  certain  properties,  but  this  has 
now  been  nearly  all  accomplished,  an' 
there  is  no  longer  any  necessity  fiir  not 
permitting  the  public  to  know  what  they 
are  about  to  do. 

Wallace  Warner,  formerly  of  Duluth, 
but  now  living  at  White  Bear,  is  in  the 
employ  of  the  company,  and  spend 
much  of  his  time  here  In  examining  ab- 
stracts and  attending  to  the  legal  for- 
malities connected  with  the  transfer  of 
land  that  the  company  is  b.iyi.  ,.  He 
said  to  a  Herald  reporter  that  he  was 
not  authorized  to  talk  about  the  plans  of 
the  Johnson  Nickel  company,  but  ad- 
mitted that  it  was  still  purchasing  cer-

Candidates    For    City    Offices      Are 
Making   Combinations. 

The  surface  quiet  that  has  for  some 
time  prevailed  in  matters  (political  has 
been  succeeded  by  a  stirring  and  bub- 
bling as  the  time  approaches  for  deal- 
ing out  the  remaining  offices.  It  has 
bfen  whispered  within  the  past  few  days 
that  a  combination  has  been  formed 
involving  the  offices  of  city  clerk  and 
assistant  and  president  of  the  council. 
The  combination  slate  is  Cheajdle  for 
clerk,  some  Republican  from  the  west- 
ern part  of  the  city  for  assistant  and 
Alderman  Cochrane  for  president  of  the 
council. 

Another  instance  of  which  something 
was  said  was  a  combination  Hietween  i 
Dr.  Salter,  for  health  officer,  and  John 
A.  Keyes,  for  city  attorney.  An  inves- 
tigation of  the  joint  stock  disclosed  a 
shortage  in  the  matter  of  votes  and 
the   "stuff    was   off." 

Dr.  Salter  and  Dr.  Gilbert  are  now 
said  to  have  a  "working  arrangement  ' 
based  on  an  agreement  that  the  one 
who  shows  the  lesser  strength  on  the 
third  ballot  shall  throw  his  strength  to 
the  other.  This  is,  of  course,  contin- 
gent on  the  consent  of  the  support  to 
bo  thrown.  At  Jast  accounts  that  con- 
sent was  all  that  remained  necessary 
t  >  be  procured. 

Health  Offi<-er  Murray's  supporters 
say,  to  7)ara/phra.se  the  remark  of  the 
boy  who  had  the  apple,  "there  ain't 
goin'  to  be  no  third  ballot." 


Amazed  at  Their  Immensity. 

W.  H.  Johnston,  superintendent  of 
the  Lake  Superior  mine  at  Ishpeming. 
his  wife  ar»d  Capt.  James  Trebilcock  re- 
turned today  from  a  trip  over  the  Ver- 
milion and  Mesaba  ranges  and  will 
leave  for  home  this  evening.  Mr.  John- 
ston said  that  while  he  understood  in 
a  general  way  that  there  were  vast  de- 
f.osits  of  ore  on  the  Minnesota  ranges, 
he  was  amazed  at  what  he  saw.  He 
could  not  appreciate  the  immensity  of 
it.  he  said,  by  simply  rearling  the  tig- 
urei?.  Although  Mr.  Johnston  has  been 
actively  engaged  in  iron  mining  on 
Lake  Superior  for  twenty  years,  this 
is  his  first  visit  to  the  Minnesota  ranges. 


They  Took  In    the   Industrial   Exhibi> 
tion  Yesterday. 

The  Labor  bazar  belonged  to  the  gro- 
cers yesterday.  In  the  afternoon  the 
convention  visited  the  bazar  in  a  body, 
and  a  good  many  of  the  delegates  were 
pre.sent  in  the  evening.  The  attendance 
last  evening  was  large.  Speeches  were 
made  by  P.  J.  McGaughey  and  J.  Adam 
Bede.  Mr.  McGaughey's  address  was  a 
fine  effort,  appropriate,  and  disclosing  a 
deep  knowledge  of  economic  questions 
and  thoughtful  consideration  of  such  as 
are  engrf>ssing  the  public  mind  today. 
Quotin.g  Carroll  Wright  as  to  production, 
and  who  obtained  the  fruits  thereof,  Mr. 
Mc-Gaughey  discussed  the  claims  of 
labor  for  a  fair  share  in  what  it  brought 
forth.  Mr.  McGaughey  has  been  a 
laborer  himself,  and  can  speak  as  one 
who  has  fought  the  fight.  Mr.  Bede's  re- 
marks were  in  the  amusing  vein  that  h^ 
has  on  tap  for  all  occasie)ns.  He  said 
he  had  about  thirty  millionaires  on  his 
calling  list,  but  that  he  was  not  adding 
very  many,  for  he  was  particular  as  to 
his  associates.  A  millionaire,  he  thought, 
was  probably  no  happier  than  a  man 
with  a  modest  Income  and  a  wholesome 
desire  for  the  simpler  and  better  plea- 
sures, of  life. 

This  evening  Di  Marco's  string  band 
will  play,  and  there  will  be  an  address 
and  vocal  and  instrumental  musical  se- 
lections. 

Saturday  night  there  will  be  a  union 
laboi  rally.  The  subject  of  "I^nion 
Labor"  will  be  discussed  by  J.  II. 
Baker;  that  of  "The  Union  Label,"  by 
President  .McEwen  of  the  Federated 
Trades  assembly,  and  that  of  "Home 
Industry,"  by  K.  R.  Cobb.  Then  will 
be  vocal  and  instrumental  selections  liy 
Miss  Farrcll,  Miss  Lynn,  David  Evans. 
James  Lynn  and  J.  Forin.  Di  Mann  s 
string  band  will  open  the  efVening  with 
a  concert,  from  7:30  to  8:30  f)'clock. 


There  Is  No  Cave-In. 

City  Engineer  HcGilvray  says  that  a 
careful  examination  has  failed  to  dis- 
close that  any  part  of  the  force  main 
pipe  is  caved  in  as  has  been  stated  to 
be  the  case.  The  entire  length  fnim  the 
reservoir  to  Lester  river  was  gone  over 
carefully.  The  •quarter-inch  pipe,  from 
the  reservoir  to  Fortieth  avenue  east 
was  found  to  have  been  sprung  down 
a  couple  of  inches  in  places  by  the 
weight  of  the  filling,  and  in  one  place 
about  three  inchea  When  the  pipe  is 
filled  with  water  it  will  spring  back 
into  shape.  The  depression  is  due  to 
the  fact  that  the  eai'th  has  not  .settled 
around  the  pipe  to  support  it  equally 
at  all  points,  which  It  will  d<>  in   tim-.

A  ONE-ROliND  BOUT. 


Mrs.  Douglas  Bests  Her   Husband  In 
Short  Order. 

The  city  hall  people  were  treated  to  an 
impromptu  l-rouml  bout  yesterday  after- 
noon befveen  a  woman,  petite  but 
g-amey,  and  a  man,  the  parties  after- 
.vards  tuining  out  to  be  a  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
William  Douglas.  The  woman,  it  ap- 
peared, was  on  her  way  to  the  city  at- 
torney's office  to  enter  a  complaint 
against  hr  husband  who,  she  explained, 
has  been  taking  the  money  she  earned 
and  abusing  her.  Her  husband  followed 
her  into  the  building,  endeavoring  to 
dissuade  ler.  As  she  started  upstairs  the 
man  tool<.  hold  of  her,  whereupon  shi- 
save  him  a  jab  with  her  clenched  fist 
and  pulled  away  from  him  and  proceed- 
ed on  her  way.  At  the  end  of  the  upper 
hall,  neai'  the  mayor's  office,  the  man 
again  tork  hold  of  her,  whereupon,  as 
Janitor  Erien  afterward  explained  it 
she  "basted"  him. 

Deputy  Comptroller  Barlow  hove  in 
sight  at  this  juncture,  and  seeing  the 
parties  "mixing,"  as  he  said,  he  started 
to  rescue  tht  lady.  The  lady  informed 
him,  however,  that  it  was  her  husband 
who  needed  rescuing,  and  he  retired. 
Mrs.  Douglas  found  Assistant  City  At- 
torney Rustgard,  and  told  him  her  story. 
She  said  her  husband  had  been  living 
on  her,  and  that  phe  had  left  St.  Paul  to 
be  rid  of  him.  but  that  he  had  followed 
her   here.     Besides,    he   abused    her,    sh( 


said.  The  husband  then  succeeded  in 
.t^etting  his  wife  to  talk  it  over,  ^nd  a 
peace  was  patched  up.  Mrs.  Douglas 
had  been  living  with  Mrs.  Amelia  Born- 
gesser,  on  Second  avenue  west,  between 
Superior  and  First  streets,  before  the 
latter  "moved  on"  at  the  request  of  the 
police,  a  short  time  ago.  Since  then. 
Mrt.  Douglar  has  resided  with  Mrs. 
Ignatiac,  on  First  street.
