QUICK WOKK.

Rev. J . V. Combs commenced the construction of a cottage in the Gould Grove last week, and to-dav he and his family are occupants of the same. W7e call this quick work.

A CORRECTION.In last week’s paper it was an­

nounced that tbe Christian church had established the Assembly here. This statement is incorrect. The Christian church no doubt will have headquarters here if the Assembly becomes a permanent encampment, but at present it is managed by pri ­vate parties. Prof. Huston, the mu­sical director, will arriye here July 13th. Ou the 14th, he will begin drilling for the Assembly. It is our desire to secure a chorus of 100 voices. All singers are invited to meet on the 14th. Young ladies and gentlemeu from the country and neighboring villages are urged to come, J. V. Coombs.

season; a tall, haughty looking girl, with magnificent great dark eyes, and a torrent o f dead black hair, which she was always contriving to wear as nobodv else did, tumbling over her shoulders cloudily or wreathed about her small, elegantly shaped head.

She was a stranger in the town, but she brought letters of introduction from people of the highest respecta­bility in the metropolis, and was ac­companied by a staid-looking lady of middle age, who always wore pearl- colored silk and performed chaperon nightly in an altogether irreproachablemanner.

Miss Considine’s toilets were artis­tic perfection. Her l*ices were price­less, said judges; her jewelry dazzled the eyes of even accustomed irpperteu-

•dom. ,Miss Considine was a mystery, and

"the greater sensation, perhaps, for that very chill whisper which seemed to thrill in the air about her, and which had its foundation in the mere fading o f the beauty’s brilliant color, the 'flicker of her liquid glance at unex­pected moments, and for no apparentreason.

,i. iiat was a discovery early made. She had a way o f looking sidewise through those long, silky lashes g£ hers that was infinitely more, alluring than a level glance would have been, and the smile which visited those rosv lips only now and then was doubly attractive from its infrequency.

Both were pale, but the count smiler right and left, dazzling. The beauty was grave and silent, watching the man upon whose arm she leaned fur­tively, and with a half-foreboding look in her liquid black eyes. From time to time she pressed oue jewelled hand stealthily upon her side, as if to still the throbbing of the stormy heart beneath, while she continually ques­tioned herself:

“ W hy do I fear? What is this terror that steals my very senses from me?l ie cannot know.”

A t last Count Ludwig loosened her jeweled fingers from his arm. and step­ping forward, drew the curtain with asweep of his hand.

There was an instant’s breathless silence. An affrighted amaze seemed to stop the beating of every heart. Then broke forth exclamation and out­cry, and above all, like the death scream of some dying animal, rose a woman’s shriek.

The picture was. first, a room, rich in decorations of green and gold. In the foreground, half reclined in a cushioned chair, an old man, with long, softly curling white hair. His head had fallen a little to one side, his eyes were fixed in a glassy, yet re­proachful stare upon the exquisitely beautiful face of a woman, whose jeweled hands he grasped with a dy­ing clutch. Both his hands and tiers were blood-stained. Hers held a sti­letto-like dagger from whose glittering point also blood dripped. There was a

Why the Civil Engineer Moved the Railroada Mile.

The engineer who lays out a railroad dislikes to move a stake when it has once been driven. I f he thinks he is right he will fight or quit, but he hates to compromise. In ‘ The Story of the Railroad,” Cy Warman cites a charac-.teristic anecdote.

Once, when the present chief engi­neer of a Western railroad was locat­ing a line in Missouri, he was asked to change the stakes, and refused. A fter the stakes had been s?t, a young unshaven man appeared and asked that the road be “ moved ove” a bit.”

“ The road cannot be changed,” promptly returned the engineer; “ this is the best place for it.”

The man went into a house, got a rifle, came out. and puiled up the stakes. The indignant engineer start­ed toward him, but was intercepted byan elderly woman.

“ Can’ t you move your road over a little piece, mister?” she asked.

" I don’t see why I should,” respond­ed the engineer. “ My business is to locate the line, and you can call on the company for damages. What does that young blackguard mean by sitting there on a stump with a gun?” he an­grily demanded.

“ That’s Nip—he ain’ t no blackguard.That's Nip, my son.”

“ Well. I 'il nip him if lie gets funny.” “ Oh. no, you won’ t. I ain't afraid o’

that,” said the woman. “ What come over me when I seen you starting for Nip was that p’r’aps you had a mother, and how bad she’d feel to have you come home that way.”

“ What way?”“ Well, if you persist in driving them

stakes there, you’ll go home dead.” “ Look here, do you think I ’m to be

bluffed by that ruffian?”“ Nip ain’ t no ruflian,” said the w o­

man. “ You see, we ’ve always lived here—Nip -was born here—an’ when the

The remarkably heavy rains in Texas have done damage which will amount to millions of dollars. Railroad traffic was suspended in south Texas because of the numerous washouts, and many bridges are gone. Every stream in the vicinity of Houston rose above high-water mark aud the angry waters have destroyed thousands of acres of cotton, corn and cane, besides houses and cattle. At Cal­vert the rise was so sudden that when tlie water went through the town several negroes were drowned and live bodies have been recovered. The Big and Little Brazos rivers have joined at Navasota, where they are ordinarily three miles apart, and the whole country between, mostly cotton and corn land, is ruined.It is reliably stated that one family of six persons perished. The loss in cotton alone will reach $1,000,000, while another million will not cover the loss to railroads and other property.

The receipts from customs were $205,919,110 and from internal revenue$271,773,869.

This is an increase over last year of $55,840,358 in customs, and of $103,293,- 051 in internal revenue or legitimate in­crease in receipts of $159,133,409.• miscellaneous receipts, however, are $47,- 804,100 less than last year, as the bulk of the Pacific ltailroad payments came in then.

The expenditures are $161,256,093 larg­er than the year before, or just about the amount of the increase iu customs and in­ternal revenues, thus accounting for the increase of $50,000,000 in round numbersin the deficit.

Tiicr war budget for the year was $229,- £>10,000 for the army and $04,734,159 for the navy, or a total of $293,744,70(). A l­though the war began in April, 1898, the heavy expenses for the army d.d not begin to appear on tlie treasury books until the present fiscal year began July 1, so there is an increase in the budget of $142,955,- 107.

Taking the fiscal year ending June 30,

f a k i n g the fiscal year ending June 30, TS97, as a peace basis, the expert's of the army and navy were only $83,511,814, so that at the same ratethe extraordinary war expenses of the last two years have been $277,510,797, which may be taken as the actual cost of the war up to date.

“ Where is my shaving brush?” is an anxious inquiry often heard on Sunday morning. The shaving cup cannot well get astray, but the brush is a prime favorite with the baby, who cuts his teeth on it or paints the floor with it, aud the result is that it is often lost or ruined. A trick shaving mug built spe-

cially to avoid this embarrassing pre­dicament has been made. In this scheme the cup and the brush travel in inseparable companionship. The han­dle o f the brush is made to register with an annular flange on the cup, and when not in use tits therein. Another tubular section completes the handle, this latter fitting completely over the bristle part of the brush, thus hiding it completely.

A n o th e r S tr ik e In a u g u ra ted a t the B in Pen n sy lvan ia Steel NNorks.

A strike has been inaugurated at the Homestead steel works at Pittsburg which may rival tlie famous battle be­tween capital and labor which was fought there seven years ago. The discharge of fifteen men at the plant during tlie last three weeks is at the bottom of the trou­ble. These men were dismissed because of their affiliation with the newly formed lodge of the amalgamated association.

The Homestead strike was precipitated when a committee of nine men, who sought the reinstatement of the discharg­ed men, were also discharged for the same reason. Superintendent Corey in­formed the men that no organized men would be retained, though it became nec­essary to close down the entire plant. A t a secret meeting of the men it was decid­ed to stand by the organization, and in the event of the discharge of any of their members all would strike.

When the nine men were discharged they were not permitted to return to the mill, and the walkout was not immedi­ately carried out, but eventually one of the men gained access to the workmen, with the result, according to the president of the amalgamated association at Home­stead, that 2,000 men have quit, and all departments are more or less crippled.

T IN -P L ^ T E M IL L S ARE IDLE.

Pred ic t ion M ade tha t the f c a l e W i l l Be S igned Soon.

All but four tin plate mills in the coun­try are closed, and nearly 50,000 workmen are now idle. The situation, however, is not serious, and the prediction is made that the scale will be signed and all the miils in operation within a few days. The headquarters of the trust are in Chicago, but it is known that the combine is will­ing to grant an increase of wages, and will do so soon.

It is the custom to shut down about this time for repairs and stock-taking, and when the joint scale committee failed to agree at the recent Chicago conference the Amalgamated association’s represent­atives unavoidably played into the trust’s hands by asking for a postponement. Had the scale been signed the plants would probably have been closed within a few weeks. Well-informed labor leaders say that the unions will stick to the demand of a 20 per cent raise, and it is believed that this will be granted by the trust as soon as the various plants are put into good running order.

Gen. Otis, in reply to a cable from the War Department at Washington asking for information regarding situation and conditions in the Philippines, cablcd as follows:

“ Adjutant General, Washington: Rainy season. Little inland campaigning possi­ble iu Luzon. W e occupy large portion of Tagalog country, lines stretching from Imus south, to San Fernando north, near­ly sixty miles, and to eastward into l a ­guna province. Insurgent armies have suffered great losses and are scattered; only large force held together about 4,000 in Tarlac province and northern Pampan- ga. Their scattered forces are in bands of fifty to five hundred in other portions Luzon; in Cavite and Batangas provinces could assemble possibly 2,000, though de­moralized from recent defeat. Mass of people terrorized by insurgent soldiers, de­sire peace and American protection; no longer flee on approach of our troops un­less forced by insurgents, but gladly wel­come them. No recent burning of towns. Population within our lines becoming dense, taking up land cultivation exten­sively; kept out of Manila much as possi­ble as city population is becoming too great to be cared for.

“ Natives southeast of Luzon combining to drive out insurgents; only hope of in­surgent leaders is United States aid. They proclaim near overthrow of the present administration, to be followed by their independence and recognition by United States. This is the influence which en­ables them to hold out; much contention prevails among them and no civil govern­ment remains.

“ Trade with ports not in our posses­sion, a former source of insurgent reve?. nue, now interdicted; not certain of wis­dom of this policy, as people in those parts are without supply of food and mer­chants are suffering losses; meditate re­storing trade privileges, although insur­gents reap benefits. Courts here in suc­cessful operation under direction of abie Filipinos. Affairs in other islands com­paratively ‘quiet, awaiting results in Lu­zon. All anxious for trade, and repeated calls for American troops are received. Am giving attention to Jole Archipelago and Palawan Islands.

“ Our troops have worked to the limit of endurance. Volunteer organizations have been called in and replaced by regu­lars, who now occupy salient positions. Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Utah now taking transports, and Sixth infantry sent to Negros to relieve California. These troops are in good physical condi­tion; sickness among troops has increas­ed lately, due mostly to arduous service and climatic influences. Nothing alarm­ing.

“ Of the 12 per cent of the command reported sick nearly (5 in general hospital of whom 3 per cent have typhoid and 17 malarial fevers; 25 per cent have intes­tinal trouble; remaining 55 per cent have various ailments, 14 of which are due to wound injuries.

G E R M A N Y REJECTS SCHEM E.

Colonel Von Soli w a tzh o f f Pu ts a C&eck on D isa rm am en t Plans.

The Russian proposals for a standstill of armament have been submitted to a -sub-committee of the peace conference at The Hague. This move was all that saved them from immediate rejection. Their •eventual rejection is sure.

Col. Gross von Schwatzhoff -of the Ger­man delegation made a speech against the disarmament scheme which is the sensa­tion of the conference so far. In reply •to the Czar’s plea for disarmament on the ground that a maintenance of large armaments is crushing the nations, he -said that Germany was not being ruined and her wealth, contentedness and stand­ard of life were daily increasing. He -said further that a reduction of peace forces was only one small step toward a {reduction of offensive power.

Length of military service, development •of railway, enabling rapid mobilization and economical conditions were ail fac­tors in a nation’s military strength. He concluded by saying with amazing frank­ness that to only consider the non-in­crease of .armaments and leave out all these ‘Other factors might seem a plausi­ble scheme for peace to an outsider, but to a military expert it was so manifestly absurd that he wondered it could ever have been put forward in earnest.

Many of the delegates say that Col. von Schwatzfooff’s speech was a smash­ing blok t o » Russian arguments. The German peace delegates have privately informed their colleagues that they are now instructed to support the principle of arbitration.

WORLD’S WOMEN MEET.

In t e rn a t io n a l Council Commences I t s Sessions in London,

The International Council of Women opened in the convocation hall of the church house, London, England. The Countess of Aberdeen, president of the council, in her address, after cordial ■words of welcome, sketched the duties of the council. She said international arbi­tration should ever be placed foremost in its program, advocated the establishment of an international bureau of informa­tion regarding all that affects women, and warned women against ♦arrogating to themselves alone the duties of curing all evils.

Lady Aberdeen afterward introduced Mrs. May Wright Sewall of the United States, vice-president of the council, who was enthusiastically received as a possi­ble successor to the presidency.

For officers the international council has some of the most prominent women in the world. They are: President, Coun­tess of Aberdeen; vice-president, Mrs. May Wright Sewall of the United States; treasurer, Baroness Alexandra Grippen- berg of Finland; recording secretary, Mme. Maria Martin of France; corre­sponding secretary, Miss Teresa F. W il­son of London.

The nations represented at the congress are the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Canada, Denmark, Holland, India, New South Wales, Tas­mania, Norway, Palestine, China, New Zealand and the Argentine Republic. The United States is represented by Mrs. Fan­nie Humphreys Gaffney, Susan B. An­thony and Rev. Anna H. Shaw. Among the well-known American women who are in attendance at the congress are Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson, Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, Mrs. Annie Jenness Mil­ler, Mrs. Florence B. Kelley, Mrs. Eliz­abeth C. Grannis and Miss Alice Bur- ditt.

NEW C A N A L C O M B IN A T IO N .

I t Proposes to Construct an Is th m ia n W a te r Way.

Articles of incorporation for the Ameri­can Isthmus Ship Canal Company have been filed in Trenton, N. J. Through these articles the first announcement was made of the new combination, which, it is said, includes many men of large wealth, headed by former Mayor William R. Grace, and expects to carry to completion the isthmian canal scheme. Although the nominal capital is $30,000, the articles of incorporation give the right to increase it to $250,000,000.

It is estimated that between $150,000,-000 and $200,000,000 will be needed to carry out the project, the greater part of which will be expended in buying off the holders of concessions. According to the papers of incorporation, the object of the company is to acquire any and all con­cessions, rights and franchises on the American isthmus, te build a canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, to own lands, mines and railroads; to colonize and to build, own and operate any canal from ocean to ocean and to obtain aid from the United States, England, France, Germany or any other Government to that end.

T R U S T S ON TH E DECLINE,

So Says C raw fo rd Fa irbanks* W hoO rga n iz ed S traw b oa rd Combine.Crawford Fairbanks of Terre Haute,

Ind., the brewery magnate and the pro­moter of the strawboard trust, has a vivid idea that the trusts are, so to speak, on their last legs.

“ Did you read that expression of the Attorney General of the United States in which he said that the investors in trusts wonkl be the sufferers—not the public?*’ said he. “ Well, his head may be level. The investors have a stomach- ful of trusts. Trust stock is down from 15 to 20 points and the investors don’t bite like they did. The furore is wearing off. It takes a bigger chunk of bait and a better quality to have a tempting effect than it did awhile back. I don’t think that it will be possible to put through any trust deal on .a large scale in the future.”

A shell of terrific explosive power, wide radius of destruction and a capacity to annihilate by bursting fragments and a shock as effective as a streak of light­ning will be the feature of the fall cam­paign in the Philippine Islands. Tests of tlie charge of this terrible engine of war have been made at Sandy Hook, the Government guarding closely its secret of manufacture. A shell of this nature charged with an explosive equal to melin­ite or dynamite falling near a battalion o f the enemy would kill or cripple a very large percentage of the battalion. The chances of escape from this tremendous machine will be decreased 100 times, ex­perts say, as compared with shrapnel dis­charged at the same objects.

THE PIG A T CANEY.

Spanish Sold iers F o r g o t Th ey W e reF i g h t in g a B a tt le and Gave Chase.On July 1, 1S98, when tlie battle at

Caney was hottest, a cui-kms commo­tion among the Spanish soldiers was visible in one of the trenches which defended the town. These trenches were all on the outskirts of the town, and frequently were immediately in front of buildings. The place was in­habited at the time of the attack, and bullets and shells went flying through the flimsy houses. There were several horses in the town, some of which were seen rushing about the streets during the bombardment. There were a few cattle, including a superb bull kept for the performances in the bull-ring at Santiago, near by. This fine animal was uninjured during the light; but he was “ looted” by the Cubans after the town was taken, and ignominously led by the nose to the main Cuban camp, to be slaughtered for food for the in­surgent soldiers.

There were also animals of another sort, as the incident to which allusion has been made proved. Toward the middle o f the day the watching Amer­ican soldiers on the nearest line saw a half-grown pig come running out of a low thatched building inside the Span­ish trenches, and, rounding a comer of the ditch, take to flight outside the trenches, in the direction of the Ameri­can position.

Evidently he had been lodged under the thatch-roofed house just behind the trench, in the free-and-easy domestic manner in which Cuban pigs are gener­ally taken care of. A bullet or a shell had invaded his retreat, shattered his enclosure, set him free, and scared him almost to death at the same time.

The Spanish soldiers ceased their fir­ing as the pig escaped, and there was commotion among them. Presently this commotion resolved itself into a rush of several soldiers out of the trench, and in the direction of the pig. Soon there were fifteen of them in the open, in the full sweep of the American fire.

Some of them ran to head off the pig, and others rushed up behind to catch him. The pig wheeled and dodged, and the soldiers wheeled and dodged after him. Their voices rose'in a chorus of Spanish sihouts. Up and down .went the pig; when a soldier’s hands were on him he jvould make a twist and wriggle himself away.

Once he made a long run straight to­ward the American lines; it did not help him, for the soldiers were after him, entirely unregarding the battle. Some of them headed him off again, and in another moment an athletic young soldier had seized first his tail and then his legs. Still another mo­ment, and the pig, firmly held, was on his way back to the trenohes, riding on the shoulder of this young man, his fore legs gripped by one hand and his hand legs by the other.

The soldiers resumed their places in the trench; the one who had the pig put him back into the thatch-roofed building, and presently returned to his own place and took up liis gun.

It is safe to say that during tlie chase of the pig no American soldier who saw the affair discharged his gun at the group. The Americans who saw’ it •were too full o f admiration and aston­ishment to add to the dangers which the audacious Spaniards were under; but thousands of AineaLcans who could not see the incident weue biasing away in that direction, and the Spaniards who were chasing the pig must have heard a great many bullets whistling about their ears during their perform­ance.

The Americans who were within view of the occurrence were confirmed by it j In the opinion, which they had begun ! to form already, that the people a t ; home who had told them that the Spaniards were cowards did not know what they were talking about.—Youth's Companion.

Last Sunday will be a memorable day for Culver, as it was an exciting one from more than oue iucideut of an unusual character. The fact that there would be a balloon ascension as advertised in the H erald brought a large crowd of country people to the city. The balloon was stationed between the Beeber saloon and the Colonade Hotel. Scores of men in­formed the aeronaut that with the wind blowing from the south-west he could not clear the hotel, but that distinguished gentleman assured them tiiat he could sail over thathotel all right. In the meantime the hour drew near when the aero­naut should depart for a short time from mother earth. The vast crowd held its breath iu expectancy, as every one predicted that an accident

was inevitable. Finally at about 4:00 o’clock the word was given and like a rocket the balloon shot heaven­ward with the aeronaut hanging by the hands to ft trapeze. The bal-

•loon majestically cleared the hotel, but when the aeronaut had nearly reached the. cornice of the hotel, he saw that he could not clear it and threw out his feet in an effort to push himself away from the building, l i e struck with such velocity, how­ever, that he shattered the cornice

his hands lose from the barmand he returned to the ground a distance of about thirty feet, striking with awful force upon his hands, face aud oue hip. He was picked up and carried into the hotel, where Dr?. Hollister and Wiseman aud a doctor from Plymouth examined the injured man and found that his right thigh bone was broken and both wrists dislocated. He was otherwise bruised but not very seriously. He was placed upou tile South Beud excursion train and taken as far as Plymouth, where he was placed in charge of Dr. Stevens of Hint place. Monday he was taken to the Epworth Hospital iu South Bend.

This accident was exceedingly bad for the aeronaut, as he was to have made one ascension in Plvmouth 11 oo 1 ci\- at.d tvv o on Tuesday. It seems to us that it was a gross piece of carelessness on the part of a mau who claims to have had years of ex­perience in the balloon ascension business, as a half-witted individual would have kuowu better than to have attempted to ascend from be- tween the narrow confines of two buildings. However, the physicians have reasons to believe that the man will recover, but it will be some time before he will perform upon a trap- ese hanging from a balloon.

'i here were two excursion trains in Culver Sunday but they were not overloaded, hence the crowd was not. so large as it was the Sunday prev­ious. The visitors in general were very orderly, but as usual there was a tough gang present, whose delight is to create a disturbance, and oue or two brutal scraps was the result, one man being fined $5.DO for dislo eating a man s eye. By the way, we have not been in the hatit of ex pressing our opinion of such dis­graceful proceedings as were enac­ted here Sunday, consequently we eay that when it comes to pass that

R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: “ Failures for the second quar­ter of 1899 have been 2,080 in number, against 3,035 last year, with liabilities of $20,259,000, against $3(5.002,252 last year. For the first half of 1899 failures were 4,852, against 0.760 last year, with liabili­ties of $48,711,000, against $71,240:783 last year. Nearly half of the June liabili­ties are due to one failure. The demand for iron and steel seems to have no limit. Tin is s tron ges t 20 cents and copper at 18 cents for like, but lead is dull with hope of an end' to the Colorado strike. Boot ami shoe shipments from the East exceed those in any other month of any year for four weeks. Wool sales, 30,- 179,900 pounds, of which 29,865,900 were domestic, reveal a speculation scarcely less obtrusive than in 1897. Cotton mills are doing well in spite of the fall in cot­ton. Failures for the week have been 181 in the United States, against 254 last / year, and 22 in Canada, against 15 last year.”

M ovem ent to U n ite 500,000 Em ployes in N ew York City.

The organization of a great union of500,000 workmen in Greater New Vorii has been begun by a committee appointed by the Central Federated Union. Wil­liam A. Perrine, secretary of the iron moklers’ conference board and one of the leading members of the committee, said: “ This new union will be the biggest local central labor body on the face of the earth. All the unions in the live bor­oughs of New York City will join. It will be more powerful than many great national and international unions, and wiil have more influence in one city than any labor organization which has ever ex­isted. The business of conducting the big bodies which now exist independently will be greatly facilitated. Employes will also benefit by the centralization of central labor unions in New York City. Strikes are bound to become fewer in number year after year through tlie influence of the great central organization. The prin­ciple of arbitration will triumph at last. For twenty years the bricklayers’ unions have had no strikes, because all bricklay­ers have been in one union.”

M yster ious Corpse in an E m ig ra n ts ’ Camp Leads to F iv e Arrests .

One man, William Johnson, and four women, making up a party traveling in emigrant wagons, have been arrested at Brazil, Ind., pending an investigation into the mysterious death of James Ayers of Lexington, Ky., in their camp. When the body was discovered it was given out that the man had died of heart failure, but later investigations gave ground for a theory of murder and robbery. Ayers had been seen in the afternoon with a large roll of money and when the corpse was searched by the coroner only 5 cents was found. In one of the wagons was a bottle of carbolic acid, from which a small quantity had been taken. The sheriff and eight deputies immediately went in pursuit of the. travelers, but they had broken up camp, and it required a long chase before they were captured. The emigrants admitted that Ayers had convulsions before his death.

B L O W TO C IT Y O W N E R S H IP .

D e t ro i t ’s C ity R a i lw a y Schemes A r e Tab led by the Council.

Municipal ownership schemes were giv­en a serious setback in the Common Council at Detroit. Two ordinances were turned down, and the outcome in the fu­ture is problematical. It all hinged on the Question of fare. The joint commit­tee reported that no bargain could be made with the railways if 3-cent instead of 5-cent fares were inserted in the se-

| curity franchise, aud considering the lack of legal authority for proceeding to a

j special election to determine popular sen­timent.on ownership by a commission in the city’s behalf, the litigation and the other contingencies, the committee unan­imously declined to recommend any steps toward city ownership at this time. Minor amendments to the security ordinance were submitted, but the Council decided to table the report, and street railway ownership is left in the air.

W O M A N B U R N E D TO D E A T H .

Mrs. M a r g a r e t W o e g le r Found A b la z e by Husband, E xp ires Later.

Mrs. Margaret Woegler of Chicago died from burns. A t 2 o’clock in the morning her husband was awakened, hearing her screaming with pain. He ran to her room and found her lying on the floor with her dress on fire. He extinguished the flames, but his wife was burned so badly that she died within a few hours. It is supposed that Mrs. Woegler dropped a lighted match in her clothing while lighting the gas. A coroner’s jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

L a b o r T roub le in Detroit.A complete lockout is in effect in Pin-

gree ifc Smith’s big shoe factory at De­troit, employing upward of 600 persons. Three weeks ago the factory started new machines in the shoe turning department, which are operated partly by boys in place of men. The Shoemaker's Union decided that unless higher wages were paid in that department the upward of 100 men employed in the turning and welt department should quit. The com­pany announced that if these men went out the entire factory would be shut down.

In d ia n a L a d y Keaten and Bound.At Osgood, Ind., while Albert Shaw

was absent two men entered his house, struck Mrs. Shaw a blow that rendered her unconscious and dragged her down­stairs. They then tied her hands fast to her knees and put her on the floor while they searched the house. Failing to find anything of value, they departed. Efforts to capture them have failed.

K oreans Smash Street Cars.There has been a big riot at Seoul, the

Corean capital, in which the ten cars owned by the electric railway service re­cently established there were smashed and burned and several of the tramway employes were killed. The cars had kill­ed several children since the service was opened in Seoul.

C arr iage P rope l led by Wind.John and David Howard of Beaver

County, Oklahoma, have invented a horseless carriage which is propelled by wind by means of sails like a ship. These men have ridden from their home in Ful­ton to Beaver City in this strange vehi­cle, and at times traveled fifteen miles an hour. _________

The United States Milling Company, popularly known as the flour trust, is now certain to acquire a much larger interest in Minneapolis milling property than has hitherto been thought possible. A. C. Loring, J. B. Gilfillan and John Martin, who hold a majority of the stock of the Northwestern Consolidated Milling Com­pany, have agreed to sell to Thomas Mc­Intyre, president of the trust, the six smaller mills which they control in that city. The figure is understood to be in the immediate neighborhood of $1,800,-000. The capacity of the six mills is 11,-000 barrels a day. The company is cap­italized at $2,250,000, of which $1,000,000 is in preferred stock. The trust now lias a total Minneapolis capacity of 1,400 barrels daily.

Y ou n g Greenwood to Serve Fourteen M onths in S t i l lw a te r*

In the District Court at Rochester, Minn., the case of the State vs. E. L. Greenwood was very unexpectedly clos­ed by the defendant breaking down just as the case came to trial and changing his former plea of not guilty to guilty. The trial of young Greenwood for forgery has excited much interest in that part, of the State, where his grandfather, Stephen Greenwood, was one of the early settlers and very highly respected. Ernest Green­wood, the defendant, was brought up on a farm, but two years ago drifted into life insurance business and spent money so freely on the luxuries of life that he was obliged to have recourse to forged notes, using the names of both relatives and neighbors. His father, a man who stands high in the community, at first protected this forged paper, but the volume became too great and the son was indicted on four counts by the grand jury at the De­cember term of court. Judge Snow im­posed a very moderate penalty, sentenc­ing Greenwood to Stillwater for fourteen months.

SHOOTS THE MAYOR.

John W. Tayer, former director of the city poor, assassinated Mayor Janies Bal­birnie of Muskegon, Mich., at noon Thursday and then killed himself. In* order to make sure of death he swallowed a quantity of carbolic acid and then shot himself.

The shooting took place on the main, business street of the city, directly iri front of Mayor Balbirnie’s furniture* store and undertaking establishment. The Mayor had just descended from his living room over the store and was about to. untie his horse, standing near the walk, when he was accosted by Tayei\ who said he wished to speak with him. The Mayor thereupon turned and seated himself in a chair in front of the store.A mail carrier approached and handed the Mayor a letter, and while the carrier was still preseift Tayer shot Mr. Bal­birnie, the ball entering his left breast.

The murderer then stepped into the doorway of the store, swallowed a quan­tity of carbolic acid, which he took from a vial in his pocket, and then shot him­self in almost identically the same place that the Mayor had been shot. The May­or staggered to his feet and ran upstairs to his residence above the store. William Burnett, a blacksmith, who has his shop across the street, was a witness to the shooting. He ran after the Mayor and reached the top of the stairs just as Mr. Balbirnie fell. In fifteen minutes, almost before aid could be summoned, the Mayor was dead. After Tayer shot himself he % sank to the walk, and later was removed to the city hall, where he died shortly be­fore 1 o’clock.

The motive for the crime is supposed to have been morbid despondency. Tayer had been city poormaster. He was re­moved last spring by Mayor Balbirnie. Tayer asked the Mayor for the position of city sexton, and this was refused him. The Mayor's action embittered Tayer, but there was no suspicion that lie had been aroused to a murderous state of mind.

In a northeast gale the steamer Mar­garet Olwill, laden with stone from Kel­ley's Island to Cleveland, foundered in Lake Erie off Lorain, Ohio. Nine per­sons were drowned. Four members ot the crew have been picked up by passing steamers and taken into Cleveland.

From the reports of the survivors the. Olwiil’s cargo of stone shifted while the vessel was laboring in the trough of the soa- Shortly before it went down the rud-

chains parted, allowing u to 0ff :nto the trough. As the helpless craft rose on top oi a heavy sea the stone slid to leeward, the steamer listed heavily, and sank to the botom. The rescued mem­bers of the crew were found floating on the surface of Lake Erie, clinging to bits of wreckage. Their rescue was attended by exhibitions of great heroism, for a heavy sea was still running when they were picked up.

The Olwill lies in fifty feet of water, eight miles off Lorain, it belonged to L. P. and J. A. Smith of Cleveland and had been carrying stone from the quarries at Kelley’s Island to Cleveland for the breakwater now being built. The Olwill was launched in 1887 and was 175 feet long and 34 feet beam. It measured 554 gross tons.

The Newfoundland colonial government has prepared a circular intimating to American fishermen that tlie bait act is about to be stringently enforced against the French, and warning the Americans that if they assist the French by bringing them bait to St. Pierre the laws will be similarly enforced against them also. The British first-class cruiser Indefatigable, one of the finest ships of the British North American squadron, has been or­dered to Newfoundland. It is no doubt the intention of the naval authorities to attach her to the fleet performing fishery service on the French coast.

Aside from tlie Philippine war, the •subject engrossing most public attem tion is tlie dispute between the United States and England over tlie line which cuts Alaska off Canada. The question, officially, is in the hands of an Anglo- American commission, whose report is being withheld by the two govern­ments because, as it is reported, the commission could not agree upon terms. Where the matter will end no­body knows now, for both Uncle Sam and John Bull are anxious to get for their subjects as much of the gold land

ulcfi»e was to exclude United States whalers from the Northern Pacific, an exclusion which the Government of the United States vigorously protested, and as a result, in 1S24, by treaty be­tween the two governments, the North­ern Pacific was made an open sea.

Evaded W a r w ith England.By the Oregon settlement o f 1S4G

Great Britain got to the Pacific, that solution at the time being regarded as preferable to fighting or to a probable contest ali along the Pacific coast with England for supremacy. The United States sacrificed the great Northwest in order to acquire New Mexico and California. Everything considered, that probably was the best solution. It gave the United States a compact ter­ritory, and, admitting that Canada and the United States are always to remain separate countries, it is but reasonable the former should have its outlet on the Pacific in British Columbia. By acquiring Alaska, however, in 1807, the British outlet in the Pacific now inter-

the preseni Is, therefore, a most oppor. tune time to arrive at a satisfactory settlement of all territorial or other questions at issue between the two countries.

Some o f the Diff iculties.But to arrive at such a solution it is

necessary to know where the equities lie. Those being determined, it is next requisite to ascertain what, i f any­thing, the other party has to offer in return for waiving or yielding any of these equities. This is the difficult part o f the subject. By the terms o f the treaty of 1825 between Great Brit­ain and Russia, the provisions of which were adopted at the treaty of cession between Russia and the United States in 1807, the line of demarcation be­tween Russian America, as it was then called, and Great Britain's North American possessions, was defined.

When this treaty was made it was supposed there was a range of moun­tains running down the entire coast, practically, thus forming a natural watershed and line o f demarcation.

o f Alaska and British Columbia as they can. This commission was as­signed several other matters of arbitra­tion or adjustment, but the boundary question is tjje one which demands the quickest settlement, for it is liable any day to create trouble between the two governments.

As to the Alaska boundary question, it is unfortunate that the commission failed to agree. As to which party is to blame for this non-agreement, there seems to be a general agreement. Scarcely had the commission been ap­pointed before Ontario passed a decree practically prohibiting the export of logs. Not to be behind in international amity, British Columbia passed a law confining all mining privileges in that province to British subjects. The mem­bers had worked together in greatest harmony for the accomplishment of the great purpose of the commission, but since it was seen that provinces such as Ontario and British Columbia had it in their power to enact laws which might make of no effect a geu- eral settlement as proposed the difficul­ties have greatly increased.'

A year ago a provisional boundary was agreed upon with the exception of a few miles of the Dalton trail at the end of Cliilkoot pass from Pyramid harbor. A t the same time the growing importance of the Alaska territory in dispute as furnishing the gateway to the El Dorado of the North impresses the necessity for the prompt settlement o f the boundary dispute. To under­stand the difficulties of the case a his­torical and geographical review is nec­essary.

H is to ry o f Question in Dispute.By the Webster-Ashburton treaty of

1842 between the United States and Great Britain the northern and east­ern boundaries were accurately defined from the Rocky Mountains to Mar§ Ilill, at the eastern end of Maine. In regard to the northern and western boundary, after considerable discussion and diplomatic fencing, the question >vas left unsettled. Out of this boun­dary question grew the excitement which led to the adoption of the cam­paign cry, “ Fifty-four forty or fight.” H ow this old boundary question lias been at least partially revived involves an interesting play of treaty against treaty and rights against rights. To understand it, it is necessary to go back to the ukase of the Emperor AlexanderI. in 1822, by which he declared all the territory of the Pacific coast north of the fifty-first parallel of north latitude Russian territory, and by the same ukase made that part of the Pacific Ocean lying north of the fifty-first par­allel o f latitude in America to 49 de­grees north ‘ latitude on the Asiatic coast a closed sea. The effect of this

venes between parts of the United States. Curiously but naturally enough, Great Britain, or rather Canada, is now seeking another outlet to the coast, and this time through what, since the ces­sion of Alaska to the United States thirty-two years ago, has always been considered American territory. What historical or treaty right has Great Britain or Canada to such an outlet? The question is not an easy oue to an­swer. Great Britain's title to British North America from the 141st degree of west longitude'(meridian of Green­wich) rests, like that of the United States to Alaska, upon her treaty with Russia. Russia’s right certainly was a vague one, and amounted at best only to a claim in regard to the vast interior o f whose extent at the time she had no conception. Great Britain’s title to the Northwest east o f 141st de­gree of longitude has never been seri­ously questioned. It is only in regard to the southeastern part of the boun­dary line, which is formed irregularly by mountains and a line extending thirty miles from the coast, that there has arisen a question in recent years which has grown into great importance by the discovery of a new gold field in the Klondike region.

N o w Is the T im e to Act,By the same treaty (1825) the free

navigation of the Stikine river was granted, but this also at the time was regarded as of little importance. Tho discovery of gold in the Stikine chang­ed the situation. As early as 1803 the British Colonist, an English newspaper of Victoria, B. C., perceived the desira­bility o f Great Britain’s acquiring in some w ay a depot on the Pacific for this part of the British possessions. It affirmed that the strip of land stretch­ing along from Portland Canal to Mount St. Elias, with a breadth of ten marine leagues, “ must eventually be­come the property of Great Britain, either as the direct result o f the devel­opment of gold, or for reasons which are now yet iu the beginning, but whose results are certain.” A t that time the British Colouist looked for­ward to obtaining this strip from Rus­sia either peaceably or forcibly, and conjured up a vision of the British lion and the Russian bear looking at each other from the opposite sides o f Bering straits. Possibly Russia also may have felt that such a contest was coming and wisely saw that for her, situated as she was, it would be unprofitable. Not caring to stand at the door of Brit­ish America on the Pacific, she proba­bly counted upon making the United States doorkeeper. And this is a role that, until recently, would have been pleasant enough to the United States. The events of the last year have, how­ever, greatly modified the traditional feeling betwreen the two countries, and

A down-town merchant, finding him­self in need o f the services o f a boy in his establishment, put a card in his window bearing the usual inscription, and thougli many had called in re­sponse to it, none had been chosen up to 3 o’clock in tlie afternoon. A t that hour a little, w iry chap o f twelve sum­mers, with sharp eyes, a foxy nose with freckles on it, and a sandy suit o f hair, came in and asked about the sign in the window. He was escorted to the manager of the boy department.

“ W e want a boy,” said the manager, looking him over critically.

“ I ’ m a boy,” the youngster explained, briefly.

“ W hat can you do?” inquired the manager.

“ Most anything, I_ guess, that a boy can do around. I have been working for more than a year now.”

“ Where?”“ InfMr. Blank’s place. You know he’s

INDIANA INCIDENTS.

RECORD OF EVENTS OF THE P A S T WEEK.

The Russians cared only for a foothold along the coast, as it was with the fisheries they were concerned. The treaty, however, made provision as to how the boundary should be deter­mined should it be- found that at any place there is no such natural bound­ary by limiting the Russian (now Uni­ted States) territory to a distance of ten marine leagues, or thirty miles, from tlie coast. The Canadian and British contention, as now made, turns upon the Portland canal. The British, at least until recently, have claimed that the words Portland canal or chan­nel in tlie convention were a mistake for Belim canal, or Clarence inlet, or else that what is now called Portland canal was not then so called.

Construe T re a ty D if fe ren t ly .This difference in the respective

American and Canadian boundary lines o f the Alaska pan-handle strip arises from wholly different methods of construing the treaty. There are many intricate questions involved In tlie methods o f construction. For in­stance, in determining the ten marine leagues from the coast to which, in the absence of a mountain chain, the American territory extends, shall sin­uosities o f the shore of the mainland l>e followed or should the line be run from headland to headland? Again, shall the line be considered to run ten marine leagues east o f the outer shore of the islands? In that case in many instances the line would not reach the mainland, as some o f the islands are more than thirty miles across. On the othUr hand, the Hon. David Mills says that in pursuance of its method of de­termining the boundary the United States in many places has drawn its boundary line “ more than 100 miles from A e coast.” To explain these di­vergent points o f view it is necessary the nature of the Alaskan coast be un­derstood, or at least that part o f it, nearly 500 miles long, extending south by southeast from the body o f the ter­ritory, as this is the part with which the boundary dispute concerns itself. As to this part o f the Alaskan coast it may be said in general that a lofty mountain range extends from Observ­atory inlet to Cook’s iulet and then sweeps toward the Asiatic side along the peninsula. A group, or several groups, o f islands, many of them of considerable extent, lie off the shore and from Cross sound to Observatory inlet and the coast below to Puget Sound there is a series of islands which are so r i Mia ted as to leave between them, as one writer upon Alaska has described it, “ an unbroken line of in­land navigation the most extraordi­nary in the world.”

H e told them how all o f his financial affairs stood, whom his money was and that he had taken but §10—all that he would need. No trace has since been found as to his whereabouts. Brown is 03 years o f age. H is finances were in good condition and liis family relations were pleasant.

Boy Shoots Pawnbrolsers.W illie Brown, a 10-year-old boy, en­

tered the pawnshop conducted by H . Hor- witz at Marion and asked to be shown a revolver. The clerk, Max Cunapop, wait­ed on him and filled the chambers with loaded shells. A dispute arose as to the payment of the purchase price, and the proprietor and clerk attempted to throw the boy out o f the store, when lie opened fire on them, shooting Cunopop twice through tho stomach and Horw itz once through the bowels. Cunopop is dead. The boy was taken to jail.

In a letter received by the relatives o f one of the soldiers now in Manila the following story is told o f the son of a prominent official o f tllis city:

The soldier hiid been feeling unwell for several days ana was ordered to the island of Corregidor, where one of the hospitals is located.'Strolling along the beach one afternoon he saw' a gen­tleman come sauntering along toward him. The only peculiar feature about the man was that he carried a cane and was- very neatly dressed for a man on that island. The stranger approach­ed the soldier and passed the compli­ments o f the day. The two fell into easy conversation, and the stranger in­quired about the hospital, the island and all questions pertaining to the fierce struggle with the Filipinos, and concluded by drawing on the sands with his cane the shape of the bays and inlets and the position of the fleet. The voung Coloradoan was delightfully *-1entertained for a couple of hours, and only when the stranger was ready to embark on a sloop that put in to shore after him did he learn that his pleas­ing companion was no less than Ad ­miral George D ew ey—Denver Times.

“ I rather enjoy this life,” writes Guy Tate, from Malolos to his folks in Ab i­lene. “ W e have taken Calumpit, and it was Col.' Funstonte fight from start to finish. A fter the niggers w ere rout­ed Gen. Wheaton was seen to put his arms around Col. Funston and praise him for his good work. Funston is the best colonel in the Philippines. A ll the boys have such confidence in him that they would fo llow him anywhere. A l ­ter we had charged the Filipinos and driven thtvn back I actually was so tired I could not have moved out of the w ay o f a bullet. Then came a heavy rain, which lasted all night. Some were lucky enough to get hay to sleep on. but I slept on the bare ground. Several times I awoke in the rain, and then I thought, ‘this is the w ay father used to have to do,’ and then I would go back to sleep content ed.”

i— i Soms A ged Birds.J. H. Gurney, in an article on the

Ibis, has collected from various books and papers a number o f facts regard­ing the age to which birds live. He mentions an instance of a raven having lived sixty-nine years; a pair o f eagle owls, one of which is 08 and the other 53 years old; a Bateleur eagle and a condor in the zoological gardens at Amsterdam, aged 55 and 52; an im­perial eagle o f the age of 50; a golden eagle o f forty-six and a sea eagle of forty-two, and many birds o f the age of forty downwards are also recorded.

Fourth o f July at Plymouth*

So far as au immense crowd is coneerued, we are safe iu saying that no city in the northern portion of the state could show half the number of visitors at their celebration, as Plymouth did upon Monday and Tuesday, July 3rd and 4th. It i* estimated thut at least 15,000 people were entertained during the two days, aud most royally at that. On the 4ih, the parade was magnificent, tongue beiug unable to express the magnitude and beauty of the affair. In the afternoou, it rained, which necessitated the withdrawing several interesting eveuts from the program. In the evening the fire works sur­passed anything of the kind ever attempted iu this section.

The hotels, restaurants and livery stables did a tremendous business, as usual the peerless Ross House taking the lead. On Monday over 800 persons were provided with prov­ender and on the 4th over 900 peo­ple had the inner man supplied. There were several cornet bands present and scores upon scores of select parties, congressmen Mid other high moguls from abroad who were satisfactorily provided for at this immense caravansary. Although the house was taxed to its utmost capaci tv, its urbane landlord, John Bowel!, was ever on the elert to meet every want of his guests, and upon every hand you could hear flattering praise of the hostelry and its management This only goes to prove the utter foolhardiness of any one without great hotel experience, let alone any one without any experience what­ever attempting to conduct a hotel in opposition to the Ross, which some individuals have found eut to their bitter cost.

The business men of Plymouth as a whole, did a rushing business, aud during the evening had their stores handsomely decorated with various patriotic colors, but the magic Chi­nese lantern decoration which adorn­ed Kuhn & Son’s store eclipsed any thing iu the decoratiug line iu Plymouth. With strong electric light illuminntiug this wonderful production of artistic decoration, made a beautiful aud fascinating scene. Our friend Allman, the clothier, came to the front with an oditv iu his mammoth show window, which caused hundreds of people to pause and look at it- The curiosity was a handsome mother duck, sur­rounded by fifteen or sixteen young ducklings, which were sporting in a large tauk of water.

Several speeches were made during the two days' program, the encamp­ment of the 157th Volunteers at the Fair grounds and other attractions, gave the visitors ample entertain­ment. All in all it was a grand success, for which the citizens of Plymouth deserve much praise.

The IT, S. Fish Commission is undertak­ing to make a thorough physical and bio­logical survey of Lake Maxenkuckee. A party of representatives of the Commission has rented the Duenweg cottage just south of the Arlington Hotel and will remain during the entire season. The party is in charge of Dr. Barton Warren Evermann, the ichthyologist of the Commission, The other members of the party are: Dr. J, T. Scovell, teacher of Biology, Terre Haute High School; Mr Tlios. Large and J\Ir. T. Bronte Evermann of Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.

It is the intention to make a very careful physical survey of the lake which will en­able them to make a much bitter map than has ever been, made before. They will take hundreds of soundings, so that the topog­raphy and character of the bottom may be fully known. Bottom temperatures will be taken in all parts of the lake and at regular intervals. The temperature of the air and of the surface of the water will be taken three times a day, at 6 a. m., at noon and at 6 p. in., and regular daily ob­servations regarding winds, rainfall, and sky will be recorded.

Then the animals and plants of the lake are to be thoroughly studied. By means of various kinds of collecting appararatus, study collections will b« made of all the different species of fishes, mollusks, crusta­ceans, turtles, frogs and all other animals found in the lake. The plants growing in the water and those upon the immediate •hores will be studied and catalogued, for it is upon these that the animal life of the lake, depends. Indeed, i f there were no plants in the lake animal life could not exist in it.

In making the survey of the lake, it will be necessary to place a number of bouys at various places in the lake. Steamboat captains and all others observing these bouys are requested not to interfere with them in any way. Lake Makenkuckee is a meandered lake and no one has the right to disturb any such objects placed in it by the U. S. Government.

Dr. Evermanrfs party is also equipped for photographing, and the report, when published, will doubtless contain many fine illustrations, of the beautiful scenery which surrounds this beautiful lake.
