HOUSES UNBOOPED. In th i s city houses have been un-

roofed, trees b lown down and one cot-ton warehouse has succumbed to the fury of the gale. All the smokestacks of a l l the manufacturing industries have been blown down. Street car traffic has been totally sus-pended because of the damage to the electric wires and the city wil l no doubt bo in darkness, as the waves are fas t encroaching on the electric w o r k s T h e busiest thoroughfares of the city are be ing navigated in boats and per-sons are now wading up to their arm-pits in order to save goods. I t is now conceded by all to be the worst storm that has ever visited Mobile.

8CENKS OF WRECKAGE.

T h e southern part of the city presents a scene of wreckage as if i t had been bombarded. The towers on the court-house and Christ church are tottering. Dredge No. 6 turned over near the lisrhthoxjse and three men were thrown Into the angry waves.

VELOCITY OF THE WIND.

T h e storm reached its heipht about 1 ;

o'clock p. m., when the wind reached a velocity of 76 miles an hour. From that j hour th^ fury of the gale began to In- 1

crease and the wind gradually changed from southeast to w e s t The rain has been fa l l ing in torrents the entire day, and the city is in darkness and there is not an electric l ight of any kind burning.

Nearly every bathhouse along the western shore was blown down, and at Morgan's an attendant named Graham w a s swept away with five bathhouses ] and drowned. The Magnolia and Cooley's warehouses were blown down, and two unknown negroes were drowned in the cotton yard. Magnif icent oaks all over the city ; e r e laid, low, and the earth is cov-ered with the green leaves whipped ' from the trees by the •usree winds, i Houses all over the city have been un- j roofed and fences blown down.

Street Theater building, the second-best opera house In Omaha, was totaHy destroyed Monday evening by fire, which broke out in the rear of the fifth floor a f ew minutes after 6 o'clock. Four persons are reported to have been killed by fa l l ing wal ls and seven badly injured. The flre department responded promptly and a general alarm was turned in, but

100 persons were precipitated into the cellar. Among the more seriously In-jured were the fol lowing:

Mary Jones, cut about the head; H. H. Per-ry, cut and bruised: Mrs. D, N. Plckott , arm broken: Mrs. Pugh, Injured iBtcrnally; Mrs Vaughn, Injured internally: Mrs. A. VanberK. badly crushed and Injured internally, will prob-ably die.

room of the house, which was erected many years ago. People crowded into the apar tment the men standing and some of the w o m e n occupying chairs. Jus t as the minister, standing near the c a s k e t began to speak of the dead a cracking sound w a s heard. Before any-one realized the danger the floor gave way and minister and people went down wi th the broken beams and boards.

The disaster happened so quickly that none of those In the room had a chance to save themse lves Many lay motionless "beneath the debris; other®, w h o escaped serious Injury, were so prostrated by fr ight as to be seemingly unable to move.

Five hundred dollars at the present t ime la a large amount for a man of

would it? Well, hardly. Any one of you could do that little and never feel, and

ye t a large number of "that little's' would do an immense amount of good

•o your editor. There ic outi tanding on

rahscription accounts over 12.000, each person owing a little, very few owing over three dollars, and yet the aggregate

is large. None of you would really feel the small amount you o w e and yet

ahoald you all square up it would make

quite a respectable sum. What I want is to rvmind you of your

editor and his needs. I want live hun-

dred dollars by Oct. 1st, and I think do not appeal to you in vain. The

wnount each of you owe is insignificant

The accident happened during a dense fog. Express train No. 6, wes t bound, which was two hours late, was standing at the station w h e n it waa run into by N o 0, also wes t bound, demolishing the pay car attached to train No. 5. The special car contained Caahier Meredith and his wife , Henry A. NexUland and wife, fa-ther and mother of Mra. Meredith; Will iam Costles, porter, and William Abernathy, cook.

This morning's alarm of fire was caus-

ed by a s l ight blaze iu the Lowel l Cutter

Co'a shop. The fire originated in the

dust pipes, probably from friction in the

blower, the flames fo l l owing the l ight

dus t back that the fire appeared in

several places s imultaneous ly . The

Fire Department answered promptly to

the cal l and had hose laid in short or-

der, but the flre was subdued before

their arrival. The Co's private pump

and flre brigade did the business and in

good shape.

A S t a r t a t L a s t .

At the meet ing of tho C o m m o n Coun-

cil last Monday even ing the School

Board asked permission to put m a sewer

for the benefit of the school . As the

school district and vi l lage are nearly

identical the Council decided to put In

a main sewer of sufficient s ize to accom-

modate the needs o f t he t o w n and allow

the f c8chool to connect wi th it.

Be fore the hard t imes a survey was

made and a complete map of the town

made, grades established and arrange

m e a t s made to begin a first class sewer

sys tem. These sewers p u t in now will

be laid according to the grade and will

be permanent benefits.

The Council deserves commendat ion

for the step they have taken and whi le

it wi l l add to the burdens of the t a x -

payers, s l ightly , it will more than make

T H E A P P O I N T M E N T OF V A N A L E N

as minister to Italy is raising a great

commotion throughout the country

and especially with the mugwumps.

His appointment is without doubt a

payment for campaign contributions, it is asserted by some that it was a

sale, that he held the written p r o -mise of Grover C. to give him this

if he pay ^50,000, into the Demo-

cratic campaign fund and that he is

simply living up to his bargain, Van

Alen's only claim to note, is his ex-

wealth and the fact that he is

ultra-anglomaniac and especially

fosters a supposed likeness to the

Prince of Wales. His appointment

is in keeping with the party that gave

if him, as their chief concern seems

to be to give the English manufact-

urer amarket and build up his trade

at the expense of the United States.

A few of New York's prominent and

wealthy mugwumps, ashamed of the

deal made by their demi-god, have

tried to buy back from Van Alen the

councilmen have been investigating

charges of crookedness against one

of the street commissioners and the

facts developed that the city had

been paying teamsters $3.50 a day

for eight hours, while the going wages

were only $3.00 for ten hours, also

that they paid shovelers ^1.75 ior

eight hours, while outside the pay

for the same work was ^1.25 and

181.50 for ten hours. The charge

was that a teamster had paid ^64 00

to the commissioner for his job. If

that was done'i t was a steal, but is

it so much of an one as is shown by

the wages paid for labor by the city.

Pay men fair wages for services ren-

dered but don' t make every job for a city or town a snap, where a man

gets more pay than he is worth for

doing as little as he can and hold his job.

^ s o l e l y a local issue. In the Mrecent

hearings, before the ways and means

committee, the Gov. of West Virgin-

ia appeared and made a strong plea

for the retention of the duty on soft

coal, which that state is interested

in. Democrats are fast for a pro-

tection duty on the little article they

are interested in but want free trade

on what they buy. At the time the

Mills bill was prepared, Wilson, the

/ chairman of the ways and means

com., opposed the removal of the

coal doty. The democrats arelocal-

L ists, see nothing but that which ben-

v X efits their own locality, while the

k 1 Republicans are Nationalists, with

the interest of this whole, grand

country at heart, and they will guard

that interest to the last.

T H E W A G E S O F T H E LABORERS o n

the streets have been reduced 20 per

cent Teams at the present time

are paid $2^00 and shovelers and

laborers $1 a day. This was done

by the orders of President of the Vill-

age, Chas. McCarty. There is

very little going on in street work,

but it is beneath the dignity of our

village to pay less than the service

is actually worth, even if the labor-

ers are forced by the tight times to

accept it. This cut was not by the

CRYSTAL FALLS, S e p t . 3 0 . — W i t h a

roar and rush the w a t e r s of the Michl-gamme river broke through the Mans-field mine short ly a f ter 9 o'clock Thurs-day night , d r o w n i n g t w e n t y - e i g h t of the employes at work directly under the stream. T h e e igh teen men who escaped were employed In the lower levels. T h e accident occurred be tween 9 and 10 o'clock but did not become k n o w n unt i l later. None of the bodies have been recovered and It is bel ieved i t wil l be necessary to divert the channel of the river before they can be secured. T h e mine caved in from tho top to the bottom, enta i l ing a property loss of $000,000.

The Mansfield mine Is s i tuated on the banks of the Mlchlgamme river, about 6 miles east of Crystal Fulls, the county seat of Iron county. I t bos been work-i n g b e t w e e n three and four years and has shipped a b o u t 60,000 tons of Bes-semer o r e T h e ore lenses dipped rap-idly beneath the s t ream and for more than t w o years the chief workings have been directly under the bed of the river. There has been much trouble w i t h w a t e r and predict ions have not been w a n t i n g tha t the river would some day break through the roof of the mine.

T h e genera l ly accepted theory as to the cause of the dlsaater Is that the t imbers on the fifth level gave w a y and a l lowed the levels above and at l a s t the river to crash d o w n upon the fated men.

T h e n i g h t s h i f t had gone down, and though some one not iced that more w a t e r t h a n usual was coming Into the mine no special a larm w a s fe l t , as the pumps seemed to be able to keep the dr i f t s free. So the work w e n t on in Its usual course unt i l the roar of water made the first a n n o u n c e m e n t of dan-ger. So fas t came the flood tha t i t Is doubtful if the m e n in the upper leve ls were able to reach the s h a f t at all.

The scenes of horror and death in t h e upper leve ls can only be imagined, for no one escaped to tell the tale. Had the men been able to reach the s h a f t death w o u l d st i l l bo certain, for the old, or No. 1 shaft , the only direct means of reaching the upper levels , col lapsed and f e l l in about 9:30, c u t t i n g off all escape t h a t way.

Most of the survivors were at work on the bo t tom level , which was n o t stopped out, and therefore did not cave. Andrew Sull ivan, a n i g h t boss, w a s on th i s l eve l and heard the crash above. He divined w h a t had hap-pened and ca l l ed to his men to fo l low h im up the ladder-way. T h e draf t caused by the cave ex t ingu i shed their l ights and the m e n were compel led to fee l their w a y through the darkness . All but four men on this level reached the ladder-w a y In sa fe ty and the ascent was be gun. When the m e n reached t h e fourth level a torrent of water poured d o w n the s h a f t T h e men could proceed, b u t could breathe only a t the l a n d i n g s as the several levels were reached, so g r e a t w a s the pressure caused by the inf lux of water . T h e y were nearly dead w h e n they reached the surface. T h e i r four comrades re-mained on the s i x t h level , their avenue of escape hav ing been cut off by the water .

T o n y Bule t to , the skip-tender at the four th level, w a s s tand ing near t h e s h a f t w i t h Prank Rocco, a n ight boss, or foreman, w h e n the first crash came. T h e y k n e w w h a t had happened and ant ic ipated the r e s u l t but Rocco hero-ical ly refused to go up in the skip u n t i l he had warned his men of the danger i m m i n e n t H e w e n t back Into t h e dr i f t and perished w i t h his comrades. B u l e t t o came to the surface In the sk ip and is the o n l y man w h o w e n t to w o r k on the fourth level l e f t to te l l t h e story.

T h e scene a t the mine location has been heartrending. Weeping w o m e n and cry ing children have crowded up to the g a p i n g p i t to v i ew the las t r e s t i n g place of husband and father. T h e spot has been visited by thousands of curious people and the tragic e v e n t is the one topic of dis-cuss ion in the L a k e Superior country. N o special censure to the mining com-pany is b e i n g manifested. The mine inspector has f u l l y vindicated the com-pany and s a y s tha t the sys tem of min-ing employed in -this section of the country, t h e t imber ing system, is a lone to b lame for*the disaster.

T h e mine inspector of Iron c o u n t y w i l l conduct a most rigid invest igat ion to ascerta in the cause of the disaster a t the Mansfield mine. The vein of ore was only 16 f e e t w ide and the nature of the ground w a s such that exper t s say i t was easy to afford an adequate support to the h a n g i n g wall of the mine.

It hadn't begun to rain, a l though a f e w drops had fallen. All of a sudden there was a terrible glare of l ight in m y eyes, w h i c h blinded mo so I could not see anything. The crash of thunder m u s t have been very loud, though I can hardly remember hearing it. At the same t ime that 1 saw the l ight I felt as though something had hit mo a terrible b l o w on the back of my legs. Tho shock w a s a hard one, and I went over on my face. It seemed a« If my legs had been knocked right out from u j d e r me. I m u s t have been unconscious for a time. W h e n I came to myself , I saw the others on the ground, all except Mr. Meyer.

"I tried to get up, but somehow I couldn't stand on m y legs. I fell down again and managed to crawl over to where my litt le girl was lying. Mr. Meyer run for help, and I lay on the ground there unti l tho ambulance came, w h e n I was l i f ted in and taken home. I f e l t no pain then and haven't since, ex-cept a kind of numb pricking in m y legs as if they were asleep. It makes m e very nervous and restless, but I do not suffer. I have no control over m y legs be low the knee, but the doctors think they w i l l bring m e round all right. I th ink m y legs are not as stiff as they were.

It begins to look as if the days of gun-p o w d e r as a charge for the g u n s in the Brit ish navy were numbered. Recent experiments just concluded" at the gov-ernment proofbntts, Woolwich , appear t o prove the decided superiority of cor-dite. A 6 inch quick firing gun was loaded w i t h 29 pounds 12 ounces of the ordinary black gunpowder and yielded a ve loc i ty of 1.890 feet per second, wi th a pressure strain on the g u n of 15 tons per square inch. The same g u n was charged w i t h 14 pounds 3 ounces of cordite and gave a velocity of 2,274 feet per second and a pressure of 15,2 tons. More im-portant sti l l , a f ter 250 rounds had been fired there were no s igns of erosion.

The new substance i s manufactured at the government powder mills, Wal tham Abbey , and contains 56 per cent of nitro-glycerin. 87 of guncotton and 5 of min-eral jel ly . The velocity of the shot along the bore of the 6 inch g u n Was calculated to the mil l ionth of a second from the first moment of being set in motion. Minute as this may appear, Lieutenant H.

Wondering who the stranger could be and what business he could have with him. and speculating as to what the message so strangely cuiumuniralod could portend. Dorison lit a cigar and wandered into the office. Pacing up and | l j u j down the long corridor he thought upon ; v . , y i v e m e y o a r

"Another romplesity Why should he return home al ter so long an absence to murder two inoffensive women?"

"He is a surgical student, having studied hero ami abroad." said Dorison.

"Tho devil!" said Cathcart. 'The proofs accumulate against him. You know that to be true?"

"His friend Busbnell told mo so." •The case presents more perplexities

than any 1 ever was engaged in." t "Those gloves were not made in this

country. •" said Dorison irrelevantly though thoughtfully

"Just what I have been thinking since you tnid me he haa but recently returned fi-om Europe. Well," contiulied the old dettvtive "there has been substantial gam We have discovered the owner of the glove, and al the proper time we can compel him to explain its close proximity to the body of the murdered woman. He must have had some relation to the

women, and, if not guilty of the murder, must be possessed of knowledge concern-ing them. You must gain his confidenoa You are in a fair way to do i t "

"1 never entered upon an enterprise with greater reluctance or loathing, re-plied Dorison. "1 freely confess I have an extraordinary liking for the young fellow. It seems like treachery to seek bis friendship to his own undoing."

"That does not necessarily follow," sharply replied Cathcart "But yon must put aside all such notions if you propose to succeed in your search. Rec-ollect the interest you have at stake— the rehabilitation of your own good name."

"1 know, i know," hastily responded Dorison "Nothing shall swerve me from that, But even with this before me I cannot repress a feeling of regret for that proud father and tender sister when disaster shall overtake the son and brother, nor the remorse I feel in antici-pation that 1 shall be an instrument of its precipitation."

"Better curb that imagination of youra until yon see that you have pre-cipitated disaster upon them." said Cath-cart contemptuously, evidently annoyed at what he thought waa a lack of proper spirit.

A moment later, his mind having re-verted to the practical bearings of the matter, he said

"Cultivate an intimacy; become a via-itor to his family; impress yourself upon the father, and get him to talk of your own father if possible."

Nettled, stung indeed, by the way the i old man had treated his sentimental out-

burst, Dorison steeled himself nnd re

object of their attention, "That is your man," said Cathcart.

"Find out especially where ho lives and what places ho haunts."

Cathcart returned to Dorison, who •was awaiting his return with impatience.

"What has occurred?" he asked anx-iously

"Nothing," replied tho old detective jurtly "I shall go to bod now. I am tired. Von hpve done a good day's work today."

What further might have passed be-tween them was prevented by the ap-pearance of the young man on his way out of the hotel.

The shadow was behind him. "Good night." said Cathcart. as he.

»o, moved off. Dorison had already learned not to

question him, nnd so he did not seek to detain the old man.

He, too, went ont in the night air to cool his burning excitement.

CHAPTER XII. NARROW1NO THK CIRCLE.

The days immediately following the exciting events which have been detailed in the previous chapters were uneventful.

Dorison had fallen again into what he called aimless dawdling. The high hopes of rapid progress he had begun to enter-tain died within him aud despair took possession.

The shadow nail laithfully followed tils man and bad reported to Cathcart

"The name of the man was Harry Langdou; he had come from Chicago three years previously, and was supposed to be a man of independent means, since

he had no occupation; lived generally a fast life; associated to oome extent wi th professional gamblers: seemed to know a good many loose characters and 'crooked' men without associating wi th any of them; visited a woman who claimed to be his wi fe in Twenty-sixth street, near Third avenue, but yet had separate apartments at number — Twen-ty-eighth street, between Third and Lex-ington avenues; was intimate with a Dr. Fassett, a physician of repute, who called upon him every morning either at Twen-ty-eighth street or Twenty-ninth street, always seeming to be well informed as

An it was, he went to bed thoroughly disgusted with himself, and wholly dis-satisfied with tlio life he was leading.

y m t e early, that Is to say early for the habits he had fallen into, he waa aroused by a message from Cathcart. brought him by the officer who had shadowed Langdou, and who seemed permanently attached to the old detective. The mes-sage bado him go as soon as he could to number — East Twentieth street.

Dorison had now been long enough In association with the old man not to be surprised at any message. Ho therefore hastened to comply, but yet wondering what it could portend aud what the house was to which he was called.

Without a word upon the part of the servant, he was ushered into a richly furnished apartment upon the right of the hall. At first his eyes, not yet accus-tomed to the darkened room, could but dimly distinguish three figures, but he soon realized ho was In the presence of an old lady, an elderly, clerical looking gentleman and Cathcart.

"This is the young gentleman." said Cathcart, rising as he entered.

"Mra. Belknap, 1 introduce to 3'on Mr Dudley; Mr Carman. Mr. Dudley, the Rev. Mr Carman."

Motioning to Dorison to bo seated, as If he were dispensing the hospitality of the house, in that masterful manner which seemed to make him the leader wherever he was placed, the old detect-ive continued tho remarks the entrance of Dorison had evidently interrupted.

"I regard this step." he said, as most essential to my search, or 1 would not have asked so great a favor. And neither

wonld I have presumed to ask it were 1 not certain I had convinced the Eev. Mr. Carman of Its importance. His presenoe here la a guarantee of my good faith. "

I Dorison, who had taken his seat, did ; not make any remark, principally, per-

haps, because none was addressed to him, and perhaps. Tor the other, that he

! did know in what character he w a s pre-j sented to these people, and therefore ' waited for some one from Cathcart.

The old detective now turned abruptly to Dorison and said:

"Mr. Dudley, that man Langdou, in whose identity yon have an interest for your own case, as I have wjth reference to his possible relations to the Farishes. enters Madison square every morning and crosses to Twenty-third street Through my urgency Miss Belknap has consented to accompany yon to the square to see if she can recognize the man yon will point out to her. 1 will bo in the square at the same time."

' "You have returned to the theory then that Eustace is the man yon want,"

Cathcart sauntered after the young man, who had disappeared in the direc-tion of the art gallefry.

Dorison retired behind the pile of trunks which encumbered a part of the corridor. The old detective was not gone long. When he returned it was with a letter.

"There ia a letter to Captain Lawton." he said. "Jump into a cab and promise the driver three timea the amount of his fare to get you quick to headquarters. That letter asks for a discreet and intelli-

to which place he was at; after this call Langdou walked up Twanty-eighth or Twenty-ninth street, aa the case might be, to Madison avenue, thence to Madi-son square, crossing diagonally to the comer of Twenty-third street, thence to !

Sixth avenue, to a restaurant, where he breakfasted and where he read the pa- j pers for an hour or two, and met one or two of a half dozen who came to see him there; from thence he went whither chance or fancy led him; he had the en- I tree to all the gambling saloons, where he played frequently, but Irregularly, | and always faro; his haunts were places of fashionable resort, and he was a fre- j quent attendant upon the theaters."

In telling Dorison of this report, Cath-cart says it was the best shadow work that had ever been done for him.

While these days were passing, the ao-1 quaintance between Dorison and young Eustace was fast ripening into intimacy, j The two young men saw much of each j other's apartments, and frequented the theaters together.

Carried by his friend to the Eustace residence, he had been received with great civility and with every apparent i disposition to treat him as a friend of the young gentleman of the house. He had been presented to the ladies of the fam-' ily and had been received cordially, and i especially by the one he had rescued, | with all the warmth his service deserved j and all the reserve modesty demanded. !

Charmed with the household, he for | got the part he was playing while with- i in i t

In time he waa invited to a formal i dinner and gladly accepted the invita- ;

tion as determiuing his status as a friend of the family.

On this occasion, after the ladies had i retired from the table, the elder Mr, | Eustace, moving to a seat beside Dori- i son, again referred to the extraordinary i resemblance the latter bore to his father. In an endeavor to avoid denying a rela-1

tionship, Dorison tried to divert the con-versation, Mr. Eustace, however, was politely persistent, seeking to inquire into the antecedents of his guest, with a view to finding if he could not establish . a blood connection.

Dorison was not ndr6it in his fence I and contented himFelf with simply say-! ing that he was from Dubuque, and there- j fore could not be supposed to bear any i relation to so old a N e w York family. Indeed, his effort to escape a discussion of the subject was so marked that Mr. Eustace forebore further questioning, Dorison saw at once that he had commit-ted a blunder, for the old gentleman froze to him immediately. Too scrupu-lously polite to offer indignity to a guest whom he had deliberately invited to his table, nevertheless Mr, Eustace made Dorison feel uncomfortable, so uncom-forlable, indeed, that he seized the first opportunity to steal away.

The episode greatly annoyed Dorison, first, because it foreshadowed an inter-ruption in the relations he had just-estab-lished with the Eustace household, and, secondly, because he had stupidly eroded the very opportunity to induce Mr. Eus-tace to talk about his own relations to the elder Dorison, Cathcart had so earn-estly desired him to ?nake.

T h e L a t e s t T h i n s : I n H a m m o c k s .

Away from the sights and sounds of a great city, with no fear of the smirch from its dusty streets and the weariness from contact w i t h its perspiring crowds, beyond reach of the hum of the too far miliar and overfond mosquito, the sum-mer girl has found a convenient bough from which to swing her hammock. Her hammock is a dainty affair of Mexi-can grasses or of multicolored cotton cord, pillowed and valancod to the height of pnr^tiness and luxurious ease, not to mention a laziness which a high temperature and a saturated atmosphere make a few of us blush to admit.

The very latest thing in hammocks is dignified by a name. It is called the "royal social." and all because it will hold t w o people without mixing them up. It is warranted to swing a fat per-son and a lean person at the same time without disaster or danger of spilling cither, and altogether it seems to be on hand to meet a long felt want. It is twice as broad aa tho ordinary ham-mock and is divided exactly in two, longitudinally, by the center's being drawn tight, so that t w o hollowa, each wi th Its separate cushion and stretcher, lure ono—or two—to tho delights of kill-ing time as they "swing, swing together to the music of the breeze."

The valance is an acquisition to the ordinary, everyday sort of hammock that finds ready appreciation. It very kindly hides any defects of position that might be comfortable except for the knowledge of its awkward appearance, which to one sensitive to appearances would be a serious drawback. The val-ance if graceful in itself, and being woven of the same colors aa compose the hammpek it makes for improve-ment whether the hammock be in use or empty.—House Furnishing Review.

There is being built at the Washington gun foundry, located at thi navy yard here, a nickel-steel gun, in which great interest is felt by experts in ordnance. The nickel-steel forgings are on hand, and as soon as the new patent furnace is constructed the work of •• ^L>mbling" the gun will commence. J s patent furnace will create a departure from present methods in "assembling" gnus (forging the tube and hoops together). It is claimed that the new . method is more simple and economical than that now practiced, besides being less hazard-ous. Under the new planet is proposed to assemble the gun in a horizontal posi-tion, and by the simultaneous applica-tion at intense heat to the jacket and a stseam of cold water to the tube it is ex-pected the operation will be attended by less of the uncertain elements of gun as-sembling than has been the case hereto-fore. When constructed, the gun will be tested wi th different charges of powder to ascertain whether i t wi l l bear the strain better than guns known as all steeL Many experts believe that the samp advantages obtained by the use of nickel in armor plates wi l l be extended to ordnance constructedof the same ma-terials.

A SavHge S v h o l i t r .

Several years ago while leading the migratory life of of a district school teacher, fate laid the scene of my d dly labors in a tiny schoolhouse among the Boylston hills.

It was a lovely, though lonely place On one side the hills, in gently sloping descent, melted softly into the pebbly beach of "Old Ontario"—and mi the other rose, crest on orest. as far as the eye could see. One building alone glad-dened my eyes—a large red barn a half mile away. Before tbe school house lay the broad meadows belunging to the owner of the barn, while behind it a tangled thicket of bushes and slender secoud-growth trees almost brushtd the low roof.

My scho lars -wi th one e x c e p t i o n -were the usual assortment of freckled, tanned, frowsly, bare footed boys and

girls usually found in a country school.

Th.s notable exception was Sam Sharp, an exceedingly bright, dull boy. For though 14 years old and scarcely keeping his place In a class of children not much more than half his age, he was yet the quickest-witted, the most observing, and the handiest boy I ever knew. Add to this that he was good-natured, truthful and fearless—and exceedingly hand-some—the accusation that "the teacher favored Sam Sharp" was not, perhape, entirely without foundation.

When I first came to the little hill schoolhouse the children entertained me with many gruesome tales of the wild animals which sometimes came down from the North Woods, and were apparently particularly partial to that locality.

"Why," said Sam Sharp, "right here, on this very spot, in the busnes back of the Bchoolhouse, they killed a bear last year. You ought to have seen his claws; and there wasn't a thing in his stomach I If school had a kept then likely 'nough he'd a made a meal of some of us. Would'nt Mmty Smith a made him a good square one, he's so fat?"

Here Mlnty set up a wail, "I won't be et by a bear if I am fat;" the other chil-dren shouted with laughter, and such a tumult prevailed I was obliged to ring the bell and thus shorten the noon inter-mission by ten minutes.

But I did not forget the bear, and many were the uneasy glances I cast toward the thicket behind m y rustic temple of learning. But no fiery-eyed, red-tongued black head ever peered at me from its green depths, and I forgot the bear in the still more blood-curdling tale of the panther, told me by no less an authority than the school trustee.

"Two years ago," he said, "a painter came down from the woods and com-menced rampagin' 'mong the animals. One night he killed a calf of mine and three days after two sheep over on the turnpike, and Lord knows how many other critters he killed we never heard of, for he was all over, like bad weather. One night we heard him over in Hem-lock Lake swamp cryin' like a baby, the next night m y boy Bill heard him over on the Peterboro road ten mile from here, where he'd been to a dance, and he was fin'ly shot by Mike Mullen not forty rod from your schoolhouse door."

Then for several weeks 1 heard steal-thy stepd and felt a hot breath on my neck, a half dozen times at least, during my mile walk through the thick Septem-ber mists to the schoolhouse. And sure-ly, those were the thickest mists that ever wrapped any hills, they blotted everything from m y sight but a short stretch of road before me.

The lowing of cattlo, the neiRbing of horses, the voices of people, came to me from them witn the weirdness and un-reality we feel when a dog barns at mid-night. And as, with ears strained in listening and cold chills traversing my spine, I walked the lonely road, many queer fancies came to me bom of my loneliness and fears.

If the panther should devour me. would my wraith haunt the road? Would travelers, walking through the mists, be startled by a pale-faced woman passing them with hurrying steps, and shiver-ing, backward looks? And would she wear frizzes, and carry a tin dinner pail? As this or some other ridiculous conclusion came to me I would laugh, and in a revulsion of feeling come, out of the lifting mists, into spicy odors and merry child-life. .

And how inexpressibly pleasant and home like would seem the little school-house with the boys and girls playing around it, and, inside, Sam Sharp pre-siding over a crackling fire of odorous pine-knots and dry branches.

September mists gave way lo bright October—a verutable golden month— the late frosts, which had delayed al most to its beginning, glorified the hill-sides into such wonderful beauty, I seemed to be living in a new world. No monster had come from tho thicket—no dark form had bounded, with child like cry, from the mists.

Octobor was 'a lmost gone, vacation was only a month away, in the pleasant present,and anticipated future, I had forgotten m y fears. One day, shortly after the f_beginning of the afternoon session, I saw Sam Sharp's uplifted hand. As he never asked unnecessary questions

I broke the rule "No questions during recitations" and asked, "What is it,

I Sum?" There was something besides mischief in tho bright black eyes raised to mine, as he said: "There is a new scholar in the schoolhouse yard. He seems to be a little bashful about com-ing in. He's eating his lunch now. Shall I g o out nnd ask him to come in when he is through?"

"Certainly, Sam," I said, "go and in-vite him in. We'll try and make him feel at home, and he'll forget his basn-fulness when he finds we are all his friends."

A look of amusement curiously mingl-ed with something else came over Sam's face as he walked out of the school-room, into the entry, carefully closing the door behind him. The next mo-ment I heard the outside door close, und the key turn in the lock.

Before I dould wonder at Sam's strange conduct, he came iu and beckoning to me said in a low voice, "Come and see the new scholar," I went to the win-dow, and looking out in the yard, saw an enormous black bear walking around picking up the crusts of bread and cake the children had thrown from their din-ner-pails at noon!

A, mist passed before my eyes—the black form looked as large as an ele-phant, and multiplied before me until the yard seemed full of bears.

"What shall we do Sam?" I gasped, grasping his rough boyish hand in mine.

"Close the shutters as quick as we can,' he whispered, and in a mommii-, almost, we had fastened the heavy wooden, in-side blinds, and thick darkness shut out the faces of the wondering children. Then I said in a low voice, "Children, don!t move or stir—there's a bear in the yaad "

The children only to well knew their danger and save a soft ru8tTea8~8ome lit-tle one crept nearer an older brother or sister no sound broke the stillness except Sam's step as he stole into the tiny wood-shed and fastened the^back door with its heavy bar. Then he moiinted'g'uard at the frontHdoof,'where, through a chink, he-could watch the movemenuT"of the bear.

An hour paused thus. Every moment the feeling of horror grew more unbear-able.

Once Sam came in to say the bear was still roaming around, but had made no movement toward the schoolhouse.

Another uneasy half hour passed and as I sat revolving a hundred wild plans for our deliverance Sam again crept softly to m y side.

"He is gett ing restless," he whispered, * 'and I'm afraid if he comes nearer he'll find out we are here, and you know the lower panel of the door Is cracked and it wouldn't stand much pushing, so I'm going to slip out the back door and go through the bushes and get help.",

"Oh, Sam!" I gasped, "don't, he'll hear you aud then—" I paused shudder ing at the thought.

"No, he won't," said Sam resolutely, "the bushes will hide me; and see here," thrusting something cold in my hand, "there is my pistol. I've carried it In my pocket all the, term, without you knowing i t . M f h* tries to get in—he can't anywhere except in front—fire this right in his face. 'Taint likely you'd kill h im unless you happened to hit him in the eye, but you might frighten him off. It aint more'n half a mile cross Jo t s to Mike Mullen's, and I'll be back with him and a gun less'n no time.*1

"Oh, Saml" I shuddered, "I can't fire a pistol I. I don't know which end goes offl"

Was there a shade of contempt in Sam's voice as he showed me which was the business end'of the pistol, and told me how to hold it? If there was I was too cowed to resent it.

k* W ith many prayers for his safety, I let the brave boy out the back door,"and barred it behind him, then sat down to my weary waiting. Suddenly I heard a loud snuffing at the front door, then heavy steps, and low growls making a

circuit of the schoolhouse, then a thump on the front door that made it crack, and the growls grew louder and angrier.

A t ime oMerror followed—the bear ran round and round the house, shaking the doors, dashing his great paws ihrougb the windows, whose heavy in -slde shutters held fast, and roaring with the pain of the cuta the broken glass gave him.

At last the sagacious brute seemed to realize that the only weak spot in our defense was the front door, and concen-trated all his fury there.

All this time the brave children had' made no sound. A s for me—though I knew that unless help came quickly I or some of my little charge must surely perish—I was never calmer in my life.

Without emotion I thought of my distant home—I saw the golden-fruited hop vines—the grape vines swing in the wot-ds—the maple trees before the house

—tbe June roses in the fence c o r n e r - 1 wondered whatfmy sisters were doing, and I wondered if my mother sal in the Boston rocker knitting.

1 felt a vague regret that I hud not mended the tear in my dress that morn-ing instead of reading a novel until the last moment.

Some of my Sunday school lessons came to my mind—among them the story of the bears that devoured the mocking Jewish children. But my dear little children were not mocking, nor

wns I such a very wicked girl if I did read novels instead of mending my clothes and sometimes wont to sleep in church.

And then a flood of self pity came over me. and hot tears rained silently down my cheeks. Then "split. cra-h"the rotten panel had broken. 1 flew to the entry door—the bear's hideous head was in the hole, and ho was trying to crowd his body through. A feeling of despair came over me, then a sudd?n a n g e r -should I quietly submit, to a terrible death for myself , or the liltlo ones in my care?

Desperate rage overwhelmed all other feeling, and grasping the pistol I rushed into the entry. Just then another piece of the door flew off with a hard crack, and the bear roared with almost human triumph.

Until now perfect quiet had reigned Inside, but one child,trantic with repres-sed emotion, shrieked wildly. A wave of fear swept through the school room, and the children ran around screaming frantically, begging their parents, their friends, me to save them.

How did Sam say the pistol went? I grew frantic w u h anger, all feeling but an intense thirst for ihe blood of the horrible brute went from me, and wild with rage I dashed the pistol in his face. I t struck him on the nose and went off. Startled bv the report and flash the beast recoiled and frantically pawed bis burned nose.

I llew back Into the school room, seiz-ed the heavy peker, and with all my Strength brought it down on his great black head, springing back just in time avoid the clutch of his claws which fore a great pioco from my dress. Then I beard the sound of voices, the barking of a dog. and three shots were fired in quick succession.

With a roar of dying rage, the bear plunged forward ind, bringing the door wi th him, fell full length in the little entry—dead. Faint with joy I leaned against the wall. With a roguish twin-kle in his black eyes Sam came to me and said, "Well , teacher, how did you like that scholar? I think we gave him a warm reception and made him feel at home, don't you?"

Mike Mullens, who shot the bear,com plimented me highly on my courage,and said I was a "genewine herowine," and would a killed the bear sure had I only had the weapins and known how to use them," which was doubtless true.

But surely of all the strange scholars that ever appeared in a country school-house, the strangest came to me that day, in the little school-house among t h e B o y l s t o n h i l l s . BESSIE G . H A R T .

What have tho Gentiles achieved under the law of uousclonco and of nature—these Roman citizens whose Rlory Is In their Roman lawf Uehold, for answer, the awful picture In 1:21-32. But tho Jews, exalted In privilege, with their book of the law and their divine training, looking down from this height upon tho heathen —have they become holy by the law? No; for they in their measure break the law of God as do the Gentiles (chajx.2).' But is there no ad-vantage in being a Jew then, and in possessing tho law of God? Certainly (3:1). But if men sin In spite ot this law they are guilty before God, and must bo condemned by Him, They can see their portrait In their own Scriptures (3:9-10), All are under sin. The whole world is guilty before God. By the deeds of thc law can no flesh be Justified before God. Is there no remedy then? no salvation? Yes; God has pro-vided a way In Jesus Christ, who manifests the divine righteousness, who has mado atonement for sin through Ills blood: and by faith in Him all who believe are Justlfled, forgiven tho past and mado holy In heart and life

LESSON NOTES.

The Need of a Way of Salvation. Ever since the fall of man God had been working in t w o parallel l ines for h i s redemption—one w i t h the Genti les through conscience and natural law, t h e other wi th the J e w s through a di-vine revelation and training.

First, the Gentiles. The moral con-dition of the Roman empire, amid the glory of i t s military achievements that made Rome the mistress of the world; in the height of i t s intel lectual su-premacy, producing works which have aldnd the education of the world for e ighteen centuries, and are st i l l a part of the training of ever y educated per son In Christendom; under t h e power of a law which is s t i l l the basis of civ-ilized legislation; amid the triumphs of wealth and luxury,—is portrayed in the terrible indictment of chap. 1:21-82, which the contemporary l i terature of the day fu l ly confirms, as do the start-l ing revelations from the ruins of Pompeii. Dr. Lyman Abbott says: "There are six indications of the moral l ife of a community, e i ther of which is significant; when they all agree in their test imony, they afford a nearly Infallible test of Its true character."

1. As to Industry. "All honorable Industry w a s dishonorable In Rome;" one half the Inhabitants were slaves, wretchedly treated. "The w a g e s of a day-laborer did n o t exceed twe lve or fifteen cents a day."

2. As to social habits . "The accumu-lat ion of wealth, in the hands of the few, w a s as dangerous a symptom of demoralization as t h e poverty, the Ig-norance and the moral degradat ion of the many." "The excesses of lust can only be suggested by say ing that they paralleled the excesses of cruelty; and these surpass imagination."

8. As to the family . "Divorce w a s as free and as frequent a s the most libidin-ous advocate of free-lust in our own a g e could desire." "Cicero repudiated h i s w i f e because he w a s short of money and wanted a n e w dowry." "Prostitu-tion became honorable," "Chastity had become a perilous virtue."

4. As to the government . I t was a military despotism. "The evi ls of un-l imited power have had many tragical i l lustrations in human history, but none to compare w i t h that afforded by the e ighty years covered by the reigns of Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero,

j Vite l l ius and Domitian," The senate i was so abject, and the courts so corrupt, | tha t the people had in them no aid for : overthrowing the bitter despotism

that crushed them. 6. As to education. "Such a govern-

ment did nothing for the education of youth. Horne contained nothing ap-

j proximating to a public school Sys-! tem." "The abi l i ty to write well , if | not to read, was a badge rather of the

servile than tho honorable class." j "Education w a s confined to a few pei^

sons, and limited to few and super-ficial themes."

0, As to religion. There was a lmost no faith in the gods, though temples

j were built w i t h increasing splendor, • and establ ished forms were scrupulous-; ly observed; y e t t h e people laughed in 1 the theaters a t the popular satires of i the gods w h o m they worshiped in tho 1 temples. Cicero and Ctesar were both ! h igh officers of religion, though both i disbelieved it. As usual w i t h the de-' c l ine of faith, came the rise of super-I stit ion and belief in al l manner of por-j tents and auguries. Rel ig ion had no i practical bearing on the moral l ife ex-j cept to degrade it . "Worship and vice j were not inconsistent." In many cases : worship ministered to vice.

Il lustrations.—The traveler in tho Hartz mountains is sotaetimes startled

j by a g igant ic apparition in the clouds j which arc about him, unti l he discov-i ers that his every gesture is repeated | by the image which for the moment ! aroused his superst i t ious awe. The ' gods of Greece nnd Rome were but gi-; gant ic reflections cast upon the clouds : bj' Greek and Roman life. T h e g o d s o f • Homer and Virgil aro no t only feast ing

gods, but roystcring. bacchanalian, , drunken gods. They are not only sen-

suous, marrying and g iv ing in mar-riage; they are openly and grossly lir

| centious; adultery and rape are divine. ! They are vindictive, passionate, in-I triguing, mendacious. They are dei-j float ions of Ahab and Jezebel, of i Machiavelli and Lucretia Borgia, of

Henry VIII. and Catherine de Medici, j Well cried Vespasian on his death- i

i bed: "Woe is me, for I am abont to b e - :

come a god."

Second, the Jews .—The J e w s t h o u g h t , that, because the^ were set apart ; for a higher training, b y special reve- I iatiou and care, therefore they would I be saved whether they did r ight or wrong. They were God's own people; how could they be lost? Rut Paul shows thcin that salvat ion is salvation from sin, and they were not saved from sin. And lest they should not see this, he brings a picture of s inful men, J e w s and Genti les , out of their o w n Scriptures.

—What is love wi thout truth or truth without love? They purify und en-noble each other.—W. G. Clinton.

A Matter of Health

IT costs more to make Royal Bakiug Powder tban any other, because its ingredients

are more highly refined and expensive. But the Royal is correspondingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and of greater money value to the consumer. The difference in cost of Royal over the best of the others does not equal the difference in leavening sttrength, nor make good the inferior work of the cheaper powders, nor remove the impurities which such powders leave in the food.

Where the finest food is required, the Royal Baking Powder only can be used.

Where the question of health is considered, no baking powder but Royal can be used with safety. All others are shown by official analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.
