"Wichita has reached the point of self Biistentation as a distributing point and as ji jobbing and manufacturing center, with this conceded advantage over Kansas City, Ft Joe. and Omaha in their development, viz.: Wichita has three established cen ters at her back concentrating their com petion and efforts to her upbuilding. Not only are the manufactur ers, jobbers, etc.. of St. Louis and Chicago seeking a footing in "Wichita's distributing trade, but Kansas City finds herself forced to enter the lists and make the fight a three-cornered one in her be half.

For a long time there has been trouble in the Chickasaw nation, I. T., over the question whether the "squaw men'" or adopted citizens, shall be allowed to vote. An outbreak re sulting from the difference of opinion oc curred in 1888, when Mr. Oberly was com missioner of Indian affairs, and a spec ial agent and United States troops had to be sent into the Chickasaw nation to settle the difficulty. Trouble is reported again between the rival factions, and the question of the right of suffrage of the "squaw men" has been referred to the In dian bureau. The Chickasaw national council, on the 8th of April, 1889, adopted an amendment to the Chickasaw constitu tion which, it was held by the local courts, had the effect of depriving those citizens of the nation who had become such by marriace or adoption. of the right of the suffrage. On the 28th of last August the attorney general, on the ques tion submitted to him at the request of Governor Bird, of the Chickasaw nation, "as to whether white men who married Chickasaw or Choctaw women and reside in either of said nations are entitled to vote under article 3S of the Chickasaw and Choctaw treaty of 18G6," delivered an opin ion in which he held that the provision conferring all the rights, privileges and immunities of citizens does not necessarily include the right of suffrage. "It may well be, therefore," said the at torney general, "that article 38, above re ferred to, may make a white man who has married a Choctaw or Chickasaw woman in either of these nations a member of said nation, subject to the laws of said nation, according to his domicile, and yet not en title hini to the right of suffrage. Whether he is entitled to such right must be de termined, not by article 38 alone, but by the provisions of the local constitu tion or tne nation in wnicn ne may be domiciled and its law with re lation to suffrage and elections. A provision of the constitution or statute of the nation which should exclude such white men from suffrage would not be in complete with article 38. I am unable, therefore, to say that article 38 entitles a white man having so married aud become domiciled in the nation to the right of suffrage." The assistant commissioner of Indian af fairs, Mr. H. V. Belt, to whom the matter of the pending controversy has just been referred, has written a letter upon the sub ject of the recent troubles arising from the amendment to the Chicka saw constitution. He makes the point that this amendment is incon sistent with other provisions of the constitution. The amendment, which, it is alleged, takes away the right of the "squaw men" to vote, reads: That the seventh section of the general provisions of the constitution of the Chick: asaw nation be amended so as to read That every person who, having married a Chickasaw Indian, or who has been adopt ed by the legislative authorities of said na tion, shall be entitled to all the rights, privileges and immunities guaranteed to them only by the thirty-eighth article of me treaty or isoo witn tne noctaw ami Chickasaw Indians. Mr. Belt quotes from various decisions of the United States courts, as well as from the attorney general, to show that section of the Chickasaw constitution did not really grant to citizens of that nation, bv marriage or adoption, the right of suff' d jnce tbn none of ho rights, privileges and immunities to which they have been entitled are in anyway abridged by the amendment cited. But e shows that section 3, article 2, rights of suffrage, m the Chickasaw constitution reads as fol r'va: All free male persons of the age of 19 and upwards who are by birth or adoption members of the Chickasaw tribe of In dians, and not otherwise disqualified, and who have resided six months immediately preceding any election in the Chickasaw nation, shall be deemed qualified electors under the authority of this constitution. The disqualification of persons who would otherwise have the right to vote are idiocy, insanity, conviction of crime or avoidance of arrest after the commission of crime. "It appears to me." says Mr. Belt in his letter, "that the right of the adopted citi zens to vote is granted by this article and section of the constitution, and that the amendment to section 7 of the general pro visions ot tne saul constitution, which aid not confer the right of suffrage, can not be construed as affecting that right, which is conferred by another provision of the con stitution. It appears from correspon dence on file in this office, however, that the construction placed on that amendment by the Chicka saw authorities is that it has the effect to take from the clas of citizens referred to therein the right of voting, and that many of such citizens were, at an election held subsequently to its adoption not permitted to exercise its privilege. In view of the fact that the United States has granted to the Chickasaw nation the right to pass laws not inconsistent with the constitu tion and laws of the United States for the government of its internal affairs, that the United States does not by its constitution or any of its 1 aws confer upon the adopted citi zens of the Chickasaw nation the right of suffrage in that nation, and that the Chick asaw nation has a judicial system by which those adopted citizens should be able to enforce their rights under the con stitution aud laws of the said nation.among them the ritrht of suffrage, to which, in my opinion, they are still entitled under the Chickasaw constitution. I question the authority of this department to interfere in the n;attr fur- j ther than to advise the Chickasaw author ities of these view.- and to prevent any serious breach of the peace that may be threatened or apprehended, and I would recommend that pending the action of con gress, to prevent the consummation of the outrage upon this clas of citizens appar ently anticipated by the Chickasaw authorities, those authorities be ad vised of tiie positiou taken by this department in the matter, antl that they will be held responsi ble for any violence that mav follow their action in preventing their adopted citizens from exercising their rights under the constitution of the nation." Congress will be urged to Dnss a law that will have the effect of settling the diffi culty. The matter has already been called to the attention of the house and senate committees on Indian affairs. KILRAIN READY FOR SULLIVAN. New Or.LK.vxs, La., June 28. Charlie Rich sends -word from Richburg that he and Kilrain both tolegj-aphed to Sullivan that Muldoon and Kilrain are waiting there, and would wait for twenty-four hours for Sullivan to come :uid "squu'reac couuts" with Kilrain. New Orleans, La, June 28. John I. Sullivan aud Duncan Har rison left this afternoon for New York. They deny haviug received any telegrams from Rich and Kilrain, and do not believe any were sent. They would hardly have gonetoRichbunr, however, Sullivan having paid dearly enough for his previous experience there. They attribute Muldoon's racket as a cunning scheme to advertise himself at Sullivan's expense and to forestall criti cism upon his offer to turn state's evidence, of which letter Sullivan, claims to have a copy. Harrison was very sorrv Sullivan spoke at all, as it was virtually falling into Muldoon's trap, but says there will be no more free advertising. So they reserved their revenge, and Harrison will get Sul livan back to New York as quietly as possible. WELL-KNOWN CATHOLIC DEAD. RocnESTER, N. Y., June 2S. Richt Rev. Mgr.

UPEOARIOUS PROCEEDINGS IN THE LOWER CHAMBER. Messrs. McComas and Bland Dis cuss Motives for Befriend ing the Nes;ro. Each Speaker Wildly Cheered Several Members Speak on the Pending Jederal Election Bill, The Senate Devotes a Day to Bills on the Calendar A Long List of Pen sions Granted to Kansans Con ferees on the Silver Bill Will Meet Wednesday Nest Capital Items- WAsniNGTOX, June 28. When the house met at 11 o'clock this morning Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, moved to correct the journal so as to strike therefrom the titles of a number of private pension bills passed by the house last night. He claimed that the bills passed before the house Avent into committee of the whole and were not Eroperly before the house. The house, owever, refused to agree to his motion so the bills stand passed. The house then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Peters, of Kansas, in the chair) on the federal election bill. Mr.Mc Adoo, of New Jersey, took the floor and made a vigorous speech in oppo sition to the bill. Mr. McComas said that the triumph of the white man's party in the south meant the control, not only of the states, but of the national legislature. Against tissue ballots, against false counting, against night raiders, against the shotgun policv. against intimidation, the Republicans array the dignity of the courts, the majesty of the law, the powers of the constitution, to assure justice to all men, white or black in this country Loud applause. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, twitted Mr. Mc Com;is for having taken away from the black men of the District of Columbia the power of local government and suffrage aud never giving it to them again. This soon resulted in an uproar on the floor, Mr. Bland and Mr. McComas shouting at the top of their voices amid the applause of their colleagues and the galleries. Mr. McComas declared that when the gentleman from Missouri stood on the floor aud affected an interest in giving suf frage to 8,000 or 10,000 black voters of the district. aud when he recalled the fact that the gentleman dur ing his long service here, had never raised his voice in behalf of the eight or ten million poor and oppressed black men in this country, he felt liko saying in the language of the scriptures, '"Thou hyp ocrite; firat cast the beam out of thiue own eye." Mr. Bland denounced Mr. McComas as unworthy of confidence and vehemently ueciareu tnat it was ne anu nis colleagues who were the hypocrites in pretending for party purposeyan-nnfelt interest in the negro. At tins point the uproar became so great that nothing could be heard save the com mingled shouts of the debaters and the rapping of the speaker's gavel. Mr. McComas time in the meantime had expired but amid cries of ''regular order," he managed to make the statement that the black men in this district were treated like the whites, and he appealed to the people of the south to treat the blacks and whites alike. When quiet was finally restored, Mr. Cummings, of New York, spoke against the bill. Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, present ed the report of the conference committee on the postoflice appropriation bill and it was adopted. Mr. Ewart, of North Carolina, Republi can, and Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, opposed and Mr. Greenhalge, of Massa chusetts, spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, presented the disagreeing conference report on the legis lative, executive and judicial appropria tion bill. The report was adopted and the house took a recess. When the house reassembled with half a dozen Republicans and twice as many Democrats present, the consideration of the bill was resumed. A number of con gressmen spoke on the measure and at 11:30 o'clock the house adjourned. SEVERAL BILLS PASSED. WahixgtOX, June 28. In the senate to day a message was received from the houe, asking a confer ence on the silverbill. It wasimmediately laid before thesenate. On motion of Mr. Morrill the conference was agreed to and Messrs. Sherman, Jones, of Nevada, and Harris were appointed conferees on the part of the senate. The calendar was then taken up and the following bills passed: The senate bill for a public building at Altoona, Pa., cost not to exceed S100,0.;0: the senate bills for pub lic buildings as follows: Muskegon, Mich., ST5.000; Jacksonville, 111 $75,000,'the senate bill to re-classify and fix the salaries of railway postal clerks.

Secretary Nohle Transmits His Beasons for Withholding Patenta. Wasiiixgtox, June 28. Secretary of the Interior Noble today sent to the senate a response to a resolution of that body di recting him to report the cause of with holding patents for lands within the limits of the government grant to the Union Pa cific Railroad company which are free from all claims and which were not reserv ed at the date of the definite location of the road. The secretary says the conclu sion has been reached that the contract of the railroad company to the United States does not authorize his department to with hold lands granted to the railroad and for which lists have been filed. "It is a subject for legislative control, if it can be controlled at all. A large portion of the lands now unpatented he m the state of Kansas and Nebraska and have already passed into the hands of innocent purchasers from the railroad company. They are being cultivated by the citizens of these states for farms, and on them the homes of the people have been established. "This railroad was built on time and has complied so far as known with all the con ditions of the land grant. No reason is deemed to exist, therefore, why the secre tary should not proceed now to deliver to the" Union Pacific railroad company the lands which have been earned, and it is his intention to certify these lists, commencing at the eastern portion of the unpatented lands in Kansas and Nebraska, where the lands are agricultural, have been sold and are in the use of actual settlers. If there is any objection existing on the part of congress this action may be prevented by anv resolution or act that may be control in "its effect. The lists of lands selected by the company now on file in the interior de partments patents for which have been until now under suspension, are said to aggregate about three million acres." THE HENNEPIN CANAL. WASIHXGTOX, June 28. The secretary of war today transmitted to the house the final report of Captain M. L. Marshall, the engineer othcer in charge or the woric upon the location plan and estimate of constructinig the Hennepin canal. The cost of the work with the 10 per cent added for contingencies is for the main line $5,00T,r)G2, and for the feeder line $1,S5S,39S, moking a total of 6,92o,W0. Captain Marshal in conclusion states that the canal cannot be of such value tocommerce it would be were the line throughout of greater capacity. It is evident, he says, that the canal should be built as a public necessity, either by the government or private corporation. ANOTHER FIDELITY DIVIDEND. Wasiiixgtox. June 28.

A company of British capitalists has been formed to ac quire from the representatives of the late John Roach, the ship building yards and engine works at Chester, on the Delaware river, and the Morgan Iron works, at Tenth street and Avenue D, in this city. The new corporation is to be known as Roach's Snipbuilding and Ensino Manufacturing company (lim ited), and it has been incor porated in Great Britain under the company's acts of 182 to 1SSG. The syndicate's prospectus sets forth that the share capital is to le 600,000, divided into 5 per cent preference shares of 10 each, 300,000, and Ordinary shares of 10 each. 300,000, of which a portion will bo issued to the venders in part paymentof purchase money. In addition to the share capital a debenture capital of 300,000 in lo.OOO 6 per cent debentures of 20 each is pro vided for.

SEARCHING ALMOST WITHOUT HOPE. DrN"3AB, Pa.. June 2S. Acain are the rescuers and relatives of the the thirty-one entombed miners doomed to disappoint ment. The force who took their lives in their hands when they went into the Ma honing pit last night came out this morn ing without having pierced the Farm Hill mine. The hole drilled into what was sup posed to be an entry to the ill fated mine, last night, was only a crevice. The rescuers declare the maps were wrong and they are as much in he dark now as at an y time since the search was begun thirteen davs ago. The regular shift was started in again this morning and the brave but disheart ened men are searching for an entry that will lead into the burning pit. The work is very dangerous but the men will not abandon their search until they have ac complished their purpose and find their comrades or the Serce names force them to snvw np the task. -The iire in the mine is bnrning with great tien-enes this morn ins:, and immense volumes of smoke and names issue from the aouth of the pit.

Spe cial Correspondence. The interest conse quent on the appearance of Dr. Talmage at Winfield today is perceptible in the ab sence of several of our best people here as -well as a large number of tho visitors within our gates. Wichita is still our best friend, as tho largest number of people temporarily here claim her as their home. During the past week the Eagle representative has met from there, Mrs. Bugby, Mrs. Ruggles, Mrs. C. A. Van Ness, Mrs. N. A. Lewis and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Gam mond. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Purdy, Miss McMillan, and Messrs. W. S. Corbett, Ed. Phillips, J. F. Cochran, L. D. Westgate and Asa Forker. Mrs. D. Hamill and her two children, of Newton, arrived here Thursday last. Mr. C. R. Mitchell, business manager of the Geuda Land and Water com pan j has returned from a ten day trip to the princi pal eastern cities. Mine host of the Gilbert, better and more familiarly known as Sam, says Puck's crit icism on help draws the facts mildlj-. He will have the best, and says it's strange that the better it is the crankier the indi vidual. He returned from Wichita lat evening, whither he went to procure help for his rapidly increasing family. Air. and Mrs. J. C. McComb left today, after a two weeks stay. If mothers with puny children will see Mrs. McComb's four little ones before the tan wears off of them an idea can be formed of how beneficial the out-door life, with a daily swim in the lake is. Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Cushman are among our latest arrivals. Mr. Cushman was thoughtful enough to bring his mandolin, and last evening, assisted by Miss Eve Gal yean who plays the tlute charmingly,, and accompanied by Prof. Beal's guitar, he treated those within hearing distance of the Gilbert house veranda to "some delight ful music. We learn that the Bath house company have employed a band of six pieces whoe duties will embrace daily concerts both af ternoon andevening and also furnish mus ic for the dancing parties that, take place m the commodious and thoroughly venti lated reeeution rooms of the bath house. They were on duty last evening from 7:30 to 9 o'clock and many were the expressions of approbation as regarded their excellence. Mr. Noble and family have rented a neat little cottage and are evidently here for quite a stay as they have brought their team, carriage and servant. FROM SALINA. Special dispatch to the Dally K-tglo. Salina, Kan., June 2S. Two more ori ginal package houses started up yesterday. The wheat crop of Saline county is about all harvested. The quality is superior to that of last year, and the quantity about the same as last, viz: two and one-half million bushels, estimated. Word was received here today from the eastern syndicate that pufthased the street car line, that active preparations were be ing made to put in the electric cars and the old mule cars will soon be a thing of the past, and the city ordinance prohibit ing the mules from running over eight miles an hour, will be inoperative. The Old Settlers' society of Saline county is making acthe preparations for their second grand annual dinner and reunion, to be held in Oakdale park shortly. Sen ator Plumb, who was the first white set tler in Saline county, addressed the society last year and the program for this year is not yet completed, but will be of unusual interest. Twenty years residence entitles one to member-hip. The congressional situation up here is quite mixed. John A. Anderson, who is a candidate for re-election, it seems, has a stubborn opposition in every one of the ten counties of the district, not even ex cepting his own. Four candidates are now in the tield, as far as heard from, viz.: Ex-Cougres-man Phillips, of Salina: Judge SturgL, of Cloud; ex Governor Harvey, of Harvey, and John A. Anderson, of Riley counties. Their strength seems to be in the order named, but the outcome is hard to divine. W. R. Ger-,a leading business man bere. returned yesterday from an extended tour through Pennsylvania and other eastern points. He says that ali through the big cities where hewas and on trains people ridiculed and poked fun at Kansas on ac count of her prohibition law. The unani mous verdict was. "We will have no Kan sas in ours until this obnoxious law i. changed Emigrant agents from other states are stationed in New York, Bos ton and Baltimore, and the emigrants a soon a they land are quickly tohl of the moral purity business the people here are in. Tho is'the tide ever turned from oar state and capital and investments lost. ITEMS FROM ANTHONY. AnTHONT, Kan.. Jnne 27 Special Cor respondence.

The contest for the seat promises to be waged with a degree of bitterness that will sever many lifelong f riondships. Cardinal Manning has taken part in the campaign to tho extent of writing a letter to Mr. Caino in which he bade that gentleman Godspeed in the cause of which he has made himself cham pion. The venerable prelate writes that lie has always refused to take part in polit ical matters but he regards the present isue as a question of morals and therefore feels called upon to express his views and deolaie his preferences.

Trouble Bet-ween Eival Pactions in Hi dalgo County, Texas. SAN Antonio, Tex., June 2S. Trouble has again broken out in the turbulent and lawless county of Hidalgo. The county is very sparsely inhabited but is split up into political factious fierce and blood thirsty. Every few months the governor is appealed to to suppress disorder and restore one facton or the other to office. On last Saturday the regular term of the district court expired and the last official act of Judge J. C. Rus sell was the removal of County Judge Mc Cabe, Sheriff Ilillard and other men of their faction holding office. A man by the name of Dougherty, brave, intrepid and desperate, was appointed sheriff by Judge Russell. The latter immediately declared his court closed, and hied himself with great haste from Hidalgo to Brownville. Sheriff Hillard refuses absolutely to sur render his office, and immediately called to his aid aposse of gfty men, well armed.and took possession of the court house and all the county records. At last reports Dougherty was mustering a band of 100 men to .assist him in routing the Ilillard party from tho court house. The whole county around Hidalgo is in a state of fever ish excitement over tho threatening situa tion, expecting bloodshed momentarily. Tho county is entirely cut off from tele graphic communication, and the means of getting news from the seat of war are very poor and slow. Pears Soap is a most elegant toile adjunct.

While two men were digging a trench for water yes terday they struck in two places, 100 feet apart, an old trench of which tradition gives no account, and containing bones of cattle, horses, hogs and human beings. It is supposed that a train of early pioneers, previous to the settlement of this country, in passing through camped on this side and were attacked and massacred by tho Sioux Indians, who occupied the lowlands near that part in former years as a village. The fact that the bonee were found buried in a trench indicates that the survivors beat off the savages, or the remains would have been left to decay on the surface. Sure cure Preston's "Hed-Ake."

The steamship City of Rio Janeiro, from Hong Kong and Yokoma, brings the following advices: A mutiny occurred on board the Chinese steel cruiser Nau Sheng, one of the Na Yang squadron, lying at "Woosung, about tho 17th, Captain Su Sing refused to allow tho native sailors more than half pay, as tlie vessel was at anchor under going repairs. Commodore AVu, with a detachment of soldiers from a fort near by, went aboard and proceeded to dole out tho soldiers half-pay. Tho latter, however, fell on the soldiers and drove them from the vessel, stabbing three of them. The sailors then locked up the commodore and captain and proceeded to have a festive time. They subseq'jently released tho officers, juul the commodore caused fifteen of the ringleaders to be sent ashore and summarily dealt with. The go-down of the" Hong Kong dispen sary in Staun street, Mr. Talbot, manager, was burned May 21.

Leaving Hong Kong March 4,"a squadron numbering six vessels proceeded under steam to Cape St. James, where one vessel with Admiral Ting proceeded up the river to Saigen. On March S. the squadron, after recoaling, left for Singapore, which was made m three days. Here the vessels were visited by the people from the shore, and severrl public dinners were given to Admiral Ting and officers. Leaving Singapore April 15, Mauilla was reached in eight days. The Tsi Jueu delayed the squadron on this run by first stopping for repairs, then by not being able to keep up steam, reduced the speed of the squadron to seven knots for some time. Admiral Lang, who has since resigned from the Chinese sen-ice, directed the movements of the fleet. The fleet is expected to renew its visit to Singapore next winter, aud the Chinese papers speak of the extension of the cruise to Australia. CHATTANOOGA'S GROWTH PHENOM ENAL.

ANOTHER BAOE WAR, Belligerent Negroes Sailed or Whipped by a Posse of Whites. Amita, La., June 28. Alarming reports have been in circulation for sometime that the colored people of this place held fre quent night meetings and were procuring arms and amunition from many auarters to use against the white people in a race conflict they contemplate to bring about. Events recently would estab lish that they were not groundless and the white people had good reason to prepare themselves on a war footing. The Picayune of the 25th contains the corres pondent's account of the firing by negroes upon a committee of white men in a part of the community wno has been commis sioned to interview the two white men who were charged with living on terms of social equality with the colored people of this parish and who, influenced by their bad advice, had struck for unreasonably high wages. About 7 o'clock this morning several gun shots were heard about a mile about town. Shortly after George Howard, the most desperate negro in the parish, came in on a horse wagon wounded in the arm with a "Winchester ball and reported that he had been intercepted on his way to work by an armed posse of white men and shot. Within five minutes after Howard arrived there was a simultaneous charge into town from every road of armed men on horseback numbering about 200, the greater part disguised. They sur rounded the important squares of the town, threw out their pickets and asked for the whereabouts of Henry Daniels, Zack Taylor, Dug. Tillis and George How ard. Armed posses of ten or fifteen were sent at once in search of them. Howard was found in Mr. Tom Sewell's garden. He refused to surrender and was killed. Two of the horses of the party were wound ed froiri shots from the garden the time the shooting was going on, yet there was no gun by Howard when he was found dead. Two other negroes, Jack Ransom and Tod Flanders, were wounded at the same time in the garden. Dug Tillis was found and he, with two other negroes were taken to the outskirts of the corporation, Avhipped and ordered to leave.

There are prospects of some lively times during the convention of civil engineers now iu ses sion here over the action of the committee appointed to investigate in regard to the south Fork dam before the Johnstown flood. The committee investigated the matter thoroughly and sealed its report.but did not hand it in at the session held in January. The reason given by the committee was that they did not desire to become involved in the litigation over the flood then pend ing. At tho present meeting the commit tee has given out generally that no report will be made unless it is forced by the so ciety. The sealed report is said to contain some highly interesting data concerning the conditions of the South Fork dam prior to the flood. It is stated on good authority that the report states that the dam was structurally as perfect as it could be made, evi denced by the circumstances that at the time of the flood a foot of water poured over the dam for two hours, and that when at last the dam broke it did so from the top. It is said that the report will further state that a larger waste weir might have prevented the flood. "Many members ot the society are already clamoring for the report, and many stories are current. The report will be m order Saturday when the business session will be held. Beecham's Pills cure sick headache. A MATTER OF INTEREST TO TRAV ELERS. Tourists, emigrfnts and mariners find that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a me dicinal safeguard against unhealthf ul in fluences, upon which they can implicitly relv, since it prevents the effects that an unhealthy climate, vitiated atmosphere, unaccustomed or unwholesome diet, bad water, or other conditions unfavorable to health would otherwise produce. On long voyages, or journeys by land in latitudes adjacent to the equator, it is especially useful as a preventative of the febrile com plaints and disorders of the stomace, liver and bowels, which are apt to attack na tives of the temperate zones sojourning or traveling in such regions, and is an excel lent protection against the influence of extreme cold, sudden changes of tempera ture, exposure to damp or extreme fatigue. It not only prevents intermittent fever, anil other diseases of a malarial type, but eradicates them, a fact which has been no torious for years past in North and South America, Mexico, the "West Indies, Aus tralia and other countries.

Instantly on hearing that a passenger train had been wrecked General Manager St. John sent word to all of the papers and then every facility was continuously given reporters for getting the exact facts. The evening Journal says: The action of the Rock Island railroad officials and espec ially General Manager St. John in getting out the news of this accident is most com mendable. The newspapers were all noti fied by Mr. St. John's orders that a wreck had occurred and every facility was given to the reporters for getting the facts. This is in such marked contrast with the course usually followed in similar affairs as to cause general comment and Mr. St. John can not be praised too highly for in stituting the reform.

HENRY BOOTn, Chairman. BIONS. HUTCniXS. Secretary. Since Sarah Bernhardt has got her llviiee-joint back in whach she has taken :i notion to go waltzing off after Stanley Ion his next invasion of the darkness of Africa. The state of Kansas is demanding right now and everyday that the Wilson Trill be passed. All the prohibs in chorus. So are the Democrats, unanimously nnd eagerly, if not with a flourish of trumpets. To go out of politics is now the fashion. General Mahone has even caught the popular infection. Some men go out of politics and others are pushed out, and the fad isn't peculiar to any section or state this year of grace. Chambers, the slayer of Bowman near St. Louis several months ago in a contest for tho possession of Chambers' home, has been acquitted by a trial jury. It is said public sentiment in tho community unanimously sustains the verdict. Editor Eagle Is there a law which will apply to the Cherokee strip that for l)ids anyone already holding land to take a homestead there? C. E. Belle Plaine, Kan., Juno 2S. There is no hiich law now that wo are suvaro of. 'What action congress may tako in relation to that land is not known, but it will hardly place such an inhibition upon that territory. The Wichita Eagle thinks that here after when Senator Ingalls visiLs the house 'that Funstflu should call on the sergeant nt arms for protection. That is good so far as it goes, but on the other hand what is the Sccoud district Xn do for protection during this session? Lawrence Journal. With the experience had at the other ,?nd of the line no further protection will hardly bo necessary. That's enough, don't vou think? The Republican is convinced that a pro hibition rally in Topeka on July 10 is a mistake. It the meeting is for the purpose of giving a few professional prohibition ists a chance to make set speeches, it may tais, but please do not infer that the pro hibitionists are on the run and frightened to death. Such is not the case. Saliua Republican. It is writ: "The wicked fleo when no man pursueth,' and a guilty conscience needs no accuses. Eh? The shirt and collar manufacturers are fibout to associate themselves in a "com bine' or truat. If, following the ex ample of other trust1', they intend to in crease prices to consumers.it would seem as though they had sprung their scheme at the wrong season of the year. If there is anything that a man wants less than another in this sort of weather it is the shirt and collar. It is easy to boycott the white shirt and collar man just now. The earnings of tho Pullman company for the first sixteen days of the current month are reported to show a gain of $1"JG,000 over the corresponding period of last month. The total original cost of tho company's property, according to the book value, 40,?S2.791, less the amount of bonds, $1,201,370. is equal to jS for evejy share of stock outstand ing. The value of the property has lxvn increased very niaterialiv during the past vour, and the bond issue has heen reduced to about $820,000. OKLAHOMA'S SEAL. Editor EAGLE: Kindly inform me what is the design of Oklahoma's seal of state, if one has been adopted. Curis. Tho Eagle is not positive, but thinks it is a scene of a boomer with a spade in his hand, in the act or ready to dig. If we are wrong and any one is informed and will furnish us the design, we will make an engraving of it and print it.-ED. INFANT INDUSTRIES. In building a town or city the idea that nothing is worthy of aid and en couragement but that which employs hundreds of men and covers acres of ground too often prevails. Time and money is, often thrown away in trying to secure some well established manufac tory with a large capital stock and a big pay roll, and success seldom follows such efforts. We have today in Wichita more small industries than most western towns of our population, many of which indus tries are growing rapidly and in the near future will become the pride of our city. We too often forget that nearly all the large manufacturing establishments of this country started in a primitive way. The Studebakers started with a Tillage blacksmith shop and step by step grew to what they are today. In this rapid age we are apt to want to run before we have learned to creep or walk. We are looking for ready made results; we want everything to hump as fast as vegetation does in Kansas in the month of June, and while the spirit of the age is very rapid we should be care ful about the commencement, and then let the growth be as fast as it will. Any enterprise that has an even chance for success here should receive encour agement in locating, even if it employs but one man and a boy, and when once located should be encouraged in every way possible by our people. Make them thrive and the good effect will be felt by everybody in the community. FREE COINAGE DEFEATED. The free coinage amendment to the silver bill was defeated Wednesday and that ends it, probably. It is not likely that the ma jority in the senate will cling so tenaciously to free coinage as to compel its adoption by the house. "The danger is that in the struggle that may ensue the silver bill may fail entirely. While the house bill is not all the people want it is very much better than the present law. If nothing better can be got then let the house bill be come a law. If everything is permitted to fail the Republican party must be held re sponsible, and that means that several western states will feel that they are kick ed over into the Democratic camp. From such a fate, good Lord, deliver us. Leav enworth Times. Even as a matter of expediency, and to secure only temporary relief which is all that can be claimed for it it is not clear that the compromise proposed by the house for the senate silver, that is, substi tuting for the free coinage clause, one pro viding for the compulsory coinage of four and one-half millions a month, is the best thing for congress to adopt and the people to accept. True, it will increase tho coinage to that extent, or a little more than double the amount coined under the present law, but this benefit is more than counterbal anced by the feature of the house propo sition that affects the value of the silver dollar, or rather that leaves its value to the caprices of the speculators in bullion; in other words, tho practical demoneti zation of that currency. But aside from theso practical effects that are sure to follow, a no less objec tionable feature of the proposed compro mise is the simple fact that it is a com promise of the people's just demands, a surrender in large measure of the peo ple's right to say what they want and how they want it. For the Eagle's part, taking the whole situation as it is, it would rather see the senate adhere to its measure, even to the extent of defeating legislation on that subject altogether by the present congress, than for it to back down and accept the compromise. A PREMONITORY SUGGESTION. Whilo it is too early to speak accurate ly, by reason of the census being in complete, yet, enough is known to justi fy the belief that the state of Kansas has some hundreds of thousands less popula tion today than we havo had within five years last past. When the census report is completed and published there is liable to be a rather unpleasant awakening to a situation many have persistently shut their eyes to. If it turns out, as it is likely to, that Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and Texas have each made large gains in population within the last few years, and that Kansas has lost heavily, it will be in order to inquire into the cause or causes thereof. Those who are opposed to prohibition have made much of this situation as an argument, while those who favor pro hibition havo branded all statements as to loss of population as false, and even malicious. In view of tho probable facts in the case it is high time these pro hibition advocates drop the epithets they so freely apply to all who dare to differ from thorn and join with the Re- submissionists in devising some plan by which this disastrous drain upon our population may be stayed. However much we, as individual citizens, mav he attached to prohibition as a theory, if it proves disastrous when practical application is made of it, a proper regard for our own interests should suggest to us the substi tution of something better in its place. Kansas is beyond dispute far ahead of any of the above named states in natural advantages, so that it behooves all true Kansans to seriously consider these sug gestions. Prohibition is of earthly origin. It was wholly unknown in bible times. There is nothing sacred about it, but it is simply one of the many methods de vised by man to stay the evils of intem perance. It has not been a success any where as far as it has been tried and, aj- pears to be losing favor rapidly all over the country, the good Dr. Talmage and other misinformed enthusiasts to the contrary notwithstanding. If. in addi tion to its inefficiency, it diverts popula tion from us to other less favored states it becomes simply a matter of good busi ness to exchange it for something more efficient and at the same time less harm ful to the development of the state- Population is worth more to Kansas than prohibition. It is the opinion of many that we liave arrived at the point now whore we must choose between these two. "Which shall we take? A LIVE STOCK MARKET. Two or tliree years ago our people de termined that the situation of Wichita was favorable for the situation of one of the coming stock markets in this coun try. The history of Cincinnati, St. Louis and Kansas City and what their live stock markets had done for them was familiar to all. The question was agi tated until our people became thorough ly alive to its importance and the result was they took hold of the matter in a practical way, established packing hous es one of which has been running a lit tle more than a year and one less than a year and today our livestock market is making the greatest showing ever made in the same length of time, the receipts some days running as high as three thousand hogs, and the prospects are that our receipts will double in the next six months. Wichita made no mistake in getting her packing houses, and the packers made no mistake in coming here. The packing interest at South Omaha gave that place 20,000 people in five years, and we have every reason to believe that ours will do as much for Wichita. Our weekly reports show that we have out stripped ten other markets in tho past year, and the present prospects are that there will be double the hogs raised this year in the immediate territory around us, and our market is extending its ra dius all the lime. Our farmers are catch ing on to the fact that they can raise corn cheaper than in any other state in the union, and that hogs bring as much on the AVichita market as they would on any other market in the country. And what is true of hogs is likewise true of cattle. The same conditions ex ist in regard to theso as to hogs just referred to. Wichita has a decided advantage over almost every other live stock market in the west in being closer to the cattle raising districts. The open ranges are fast disappearing, but those that are still open are situated near the great grain and feed producing section contiguous to Wichita and that finds its readiest and best market here for the fin ished animals. But when the range cattle shall have disappeared, Wichita's market will still be in a better situation as regards securing ample supplies of cattle, be cause already the farmers of this section in anticipation of this change, are turn ing their attention more and more to stock raising, and when the range stock is no more their places will be more than filled in numbers with the smaller though more numerous farm herds and of su perior animals for food purposes. The same line of reasoning and state ment of facts apply also to sheep and horses. It has been demonstrated be yond question that Kansas bred and raised animals of these classes are equal in every respect to the best produced in the sections made famous by the super iority of such products. And the Wich ita market will grow and develop in these lines as she will in the others men tioned. Kansas cast more votes for its seven members of congress in 18SS than Louis iana, Georgia, Mississippi and South Car olina cast for their thirty. And yet those fellows down there are kicking on a federal election law. Kansas City Gazette. That's natural. Who ever heard of of anybody giving up an advantage of any sort without an effort to retain it. If the conditions that make such things possible and carries them into effect was inoperative or did not give them any ad vantage there would be no demand for a change because nobody would care any thing about it. So, however much we may condemn the system, the people down there are not over censurable for wanting it continued. The decision of the Now York court of appeals in Kemmler's case apparently disposes of the last legal obstacle to the enforcemet of the law for electrical ex ecutions. The point adjudicated is that of the authority of a state prison warden to carry out the death sentence. Tho only consideration that does not appear to have been fully dealt with is the ele ment of cruelty in the day of doom with in the week selected by the trial court; but that matter may be regarded as inci dentally covered by yesterday's adjudi cation. The indications are that death in the electrical chair will soon become as usual a method of capital punishment as hanging has heretofore been. Emporia Republican: "Let politics rumble and roar; let demagouges trem ble and quake: let public officials feel sore, and records and precedents break: let farmers and workintrmen growl; let let leather-lunged blatherskites blow; let dry prohbitionists howl and original packages flow. But Kansas will move right along, by the tumult and noise un dismayed; she cares not for whang of the gong nor shout of the tin-horn brigade. Look out for another big crop and big immigration next fall: sunny Kansas is climbing for "Top"' and will side for no thing at all."' That's the way we feel about it too. or, at least, that it ought to be: and if it does not turnout the way as to the immigration feature, it will be clear that there is something radically wrong, and we all know it is not with the natural conditions. THE SILVER BILL. To the Editor of the Eagle. In writing upon a public question I am aware that what is said by a single correspondent amounts to so little, that for ought we know it had as well be un said. Besides, it's not yet proved that tho destiny that shapes our ends rough hew them as we may does not exist. In dividuals and large communities of such often in this mercurial world feel safest when nearest to danger. To such, ap peals are made in vain. Yet I do not say that we are in great danger as a people. Our bodies will go on in perpetual succession as they ever have, either as slaves of freeman. But our individual interests and rights will be greatly abridged as they have been and now are. I fear. But by whom? By the bourbons of the old conservative east, of course. They copy so closely after precedent, which in turn comes from the social mists and fogs of Europe, that they will allow no innovation not proven by time. All that has ever shackled the progressive west, Once the east becomes inspired with the results of an experi ment like the financial one growing out of the war, the purse strings of the gov ernment and of the individual is loosened. Chicago. Kansas City. Denver, Wichita and a thousand towns spring into promi nent existence in a decde. Common wealths are carved from the rough wil derness and peopled through the modes of modern migration. Just here this vastly increased population with its created values called into exist ence with no increase of the volume of money, but rather a decrease, finds money, by the least "re flex movement of the balance of trade to the older states, becoming scarce. Then follows failure to pay promptly, and a rapid fall of prices of things, especially real estate values, so recently created, takes place in the new and enterprising west. This creates alarm in the east; they hoard their money and overflow their vaults, for want of confidence, and cry out "inflation," Of course they are inflated by waiting too long before they do it. Had we had the privilege of bar tering Kansas, Nebraska and Texas pro duce for Rocky mountain silver five years ago and turning it into standard dollars and replenislung the growing demands upon our banks for money, those eastern people would have their interest and principle prompt ly paid upon western investments in stead of ruinous litigation and losses as they have had. They have not brought this about by calculations, as western sufferers suppose, for purposes of eventual greater gains, but rather for want of foresight. It is true that certain speculators, shrewd fellows as they are, avail themselves of such knowledge and profit by it when they can. But the eastern financiers generally are far too dull for that. They are financial homeo pathists, believing that like cures like and so get sicker all the time. But, said a merchant to me the other day. you will not only stimulate trade and set tilings buzz ing but inflate the currency with cheap silver and let those Europeans bring in then silver and replace our gold with it, and place us at a great disadvantage. Well, suppose an European merchant or banker tries it: he takes a millian of silver bullion from London, pays freight and insurance on it to New York. There is cost item No. 1. He has it coined, Eossibly, we'll admit an extreme case; e now will meet with the difficulty at tending the exchange of so much silver for gold and will have naturally to pay a premium. There is item No. 2 for you. Failing in this, he buys grain. Well, then, we have his money and he has our grain. Where's the hold on gold? But, says he, they will make contracts specially for gold payments for goods bought. Well, if we have free coinage of gold and silver withour discrimination, we could call in all gold and silver certificates and issue a coin certificate calling for pay ment in gold or silver or both at the op tion of the government, that would make it difficult to hoard gold without offering a premium for it, to say nothing of destroying the incentive. But this is all useless discussion. One thing is certain if the west and south are to have dear dollars dictated by the east through foolishness or greed, they will have to have a free market for their productions throughout the world. The way to keep their hold on protection is to give us a say in financial legislation. The west and south ought to at once call an interstate financial and commer cial convention to devise means to liberate the monied and commercial interests from the absolute control of the east. It ought to be composed in equal proportions of delegates from all inter ests in both sections, and the proper pol icy laid down for the political grievance of their consituents as soon as possible. jVIy.opinion is that $100 per capita is small enough for a basis of circulation of money for a new and rapidly developing country like ours. I am supported in that opinion by tho so called inflation of the years succeeding the close of the war. Then work, enterprise, push and vim was everywhere. Interest and labor were both high. Security of every sort held everybody worth the least consideration to prompt payments. Now how is it? W. E. Hutchinson. a POSER. From the Topeka Democrat. In 1880 Lincoln, Neb., had a popula tion slightly over 20,000. Topeka at the same date boasted a population of 25,000. In point of location, outlook for busi ness, favorable reputation with the peo ple of the east, general attractiveness, etc., a decade of years ago Topeka had. all the advantage in a comparison with the then well-nigh unknown inland capi tal of Nebraska. Today, behold the contrast! The com plete returns of the recent United States census gives Lincoln (the city proper) a population of 53,000. The population of the capital of our sister state is over two and a half times that of 18S0. How is it with Topeka? The census is not yet complete, but no one, not even the most sanguine believer in the destiny of the capital city of Kansas, will place the population of Topeka, as revealed by the United States census, higher than 35.000 or 3G,000. How is this? How does it happen that Lincoln, Nebraska, the obscure western town of 1S80, has so far outstripped To peka in the race for material prosperity? No one who is familiar with the two cities will claim for a moment that the inland capital of Nebraska has an iota of natural advantage over Topeka. Then why this disparity of population be tween the two cities, which is a mortifi cation to every citizen of Kansas? Tho answer is easy. It is the difference between running a city on the license of the liquor traffic, or what passes for prohibition. Lincoln has steadily prospered since 1S80, under a sensible license system, while Topeka has suffered from the certain and inevi tpblo effects of a fool policy. Lincoln, sensibly, has invited all classes of people within its gates, while Topeka for ten years has been engaged, under the pre tence of morality, in driving population and capital from its midst After a senseless crusade running over nearly ten years, resulting in the loss of hundreds of our best citizens and of millions of dollars of capital, no wonder that crank-ridden Topeka suddenly awakes to the fact that she has been dis tanced in the race of prosperity by the cities of the west in which common sense and a liberal policy has governed. Yet. while Topeka has thus suffered financially and in population, our citi zens have not even the satisfaction of knowing that the moral side of the led ger will in any respect show an advan tage over that of the more fortunate cap ital city of Nebraska. Lincoln rejoicing in its population of 53,000. Topeka scarcely holding its own with perhaps 35,000 or 36,000. Ask any Prohibition fanatic to explain this dis parity of population between the two cities. Well, You Wont see it Again. From the State JoornaL There is going to be a terrible personal encounter between the editor of "Sun flower Shimmer' in the Wichita Eagle and the foreman, if he separates any more of the 'Shimmer' man's articles into paragraphs and mixes them up gen erally. All "Chaw" and "Talk." From tie Abilene Reflector. It is now the fashion in Kansa3 to call every outdoor kindergarten of a periodi cal nature a cliautauqua assembly. Manv of them put special emphasis on the phoenetics rather than the etymologv of the word, and devote the time princi pally to 'chaw' and "talk." SUNFLOWER SHIMMER. Political economy in Kansas: Down come the meteors and up go the mortgages. Mr. Metsker, of Topeka, has neither moved Mr. Harrison Kelly or the Missouri Capital. Webb McNall, they aver, is chopping wood, and hard. But he must be catching the chips in a basket. The political situation over in Johnny Gilmore's district is indeed alarming. A local paper advertises a lap robe made out of skunk skins. The Farmers' Alliance is succeeding very well in politics, but we have our doubts if they would be any account at praying for rain. It isn't down in the books on etiquette but is highly improper for the prohibition ists at an "original package" indigna tion meeting to go out between acts. The anti-Ingalls farmers ought to give our senior senator credit for harrowing up the soul of Dan Voorhees. The culti vation helped the "tall sycamore of the Wabash" a good deal. The El Dorado Republican was not what could be called enthusiastic over Harrison Kelly's; nomination. The faculty of the Bepublican are fat people and this is a bad time of year for embonpoint. "John," said Plumb to our senior sena tor the other day, "how would you like to be president?" "Preston," answered In galls, "how would you like to be?" And then they went over to Morton's hotel and saw each other. The "original package" dealers are fail ing, the Topeka Capital says. This only illustrates the fact again that a man can not work twenty hours of the day and keep his health. Better sacrifice business success than a sound body. The new Topeka Democrat reporter who stuck his head into the executive office at Topeka the other day and asked Governor Humphrey if he was going to the moun tains this year has been promoted and he didn't say anything about beverages either. George Anthony was showing Ottawa to ex-President Hayes. The poultry business was brought up. Incidentally Mr. Anthony mentioned that the sickest chicken of the Second district was at present in Wash ington. Then after a little silence Mr. Anthony asked, quietly: "Mr. Hayes, do you know our Funston?" Charlton H. Howe is the new editor of the Atchinson Champion and not Church Howe as erroneously stated. Church Howe is a Nebraska man. Besides, Mr. Howe is a very handsome man. The Eagle accused Mr. Church Howe of being the ugliest man in Missouri. The Eagle regrets it. This was a pretty Howe to "do." The fable of the Crane and the Baker is a new one. An ambitious Crane wanted to make bread so he went to a Baker and asked him to throw up a penny to decide who should own the shop. The Baker smiled because he knew the great cheek of the bird and the fable willbe continued in our next with a moral compiled by Jacob Stotler. KANSAS SILK. From the Newton Repuhlican. Many of our farmers are bringing in their silk cocoons for shipment. Al though the silk season has just begun enough is known to enable us to say that the crop this year will be 25 per cent larger than that of last year and the quality finer than ever. In fact there has never been a skip or a break in the business in tho Newton silk district. The silk worm in this region is perfectly free from disease, which can scarcely be said of any other silk raising locality in the world. People call France the land of the vine and of the silk worm, but in that country both the grape and the cocoon havo almost been destroyed in localities while both are perfectly healthy here. Kansas' hat is now stuck so full of feathers that she looks like the grand marshal on the Fourth of July, but you can just put in another big plume and call it silk. OKLAHOMA OUTLINES. Week after next the teachers meet at Edmond. Fribco has among other clubs, a Union Labor one. Some people are still hunting for the last buftalo. The Beaver City Tribune advises: "Keep cool if you can." Tho town site commissioners will be ready for work July 1. Guthrie county contains 14,000. It does not get a register of deeds. Frisco had a city election yesterday. Five councilmen were selected. One week more and the small boy of Ok lahoma will be smoking corn-silk. The postmaster at Hennessey, they say, is the best bae ball umpire in Oklahoma. Several of the papers are objecting to the expense of the town site commis sioners. The lawyers are all studying Nebraska statutes and pronouncing their opinions of them. Amateurs will present an operetta, "Little Red Ridinchood," next Tuesday at Guthrie. Corn is growing so fast in Oklahoma that you wouldn't recognize the same the neat day. PaynSflj;d Stillwater do not like each other, but hey do not fill their local papers all uptbout it. There are on or two counties in Okla homa yet that you can write "harmoni ous" before, and sincerely. There may be some politics, bnt there will be a heap more business in this first election. Eamond Sun. When titles are secured look out for new coal discoveries and perhaps oil and gas wells, says the Edmond Sun. Edmond thinks that there ought to be another comity in Oklahoma and Edmond should be the county seat of it. Oklahoma never has had an Indian scare. If anybody has been frightened it has been the Indians themselve. Mnlhall has a ilvation army. Mulball wants to be a county seat you ee, and all metropolitan airs are pardonable. Several papers in Oklahoma regard Mr. Noble as a good secretary, but f hey think he makes a mistake occaoionally. The seal of the secretary of Oklahoma is an embellished Indian head encircled by "Territory of Oklahoma Secretary." The purchase of the Pottawatomie lands will be another aid to keep the immigra tion towards the borders o the new land-. Everybody would be happy if the King fisher World would start a dally paper again everybody except the man who had to foot the bills. The Guthrie Democrat charees that the census is a poor one because the ennmera tors were Republicans. That sort of talk is styled flummery. A new school house has been built six miles south of Frisco on section Pi. tows ship 12. range 6, and has been christened the "Prairie RosiJ-" In Oklahoma towns half the town will have charjre of the pyrotechnics on the Fourth of July' and the other half will join the fire department. Some of the fellows who expected to get elected are mtehdlr concerned to know whether the government is going to siaad the expense of. spittoons or aot. The Indian commissicn now goes to the Kicfcapoo nation. They are aa obdurate tribe or at least they have a reputation in that war. but the eemmi&sien will prob ably sce'that they come to tanas qaiekly and amicably.

E. church of Kingfisher is assuming-gigantic proportions. It is. ex pected to be completed sometime in July and will be dedicated by Itev. Chaplain IcCabe, of New York City. It will be tho best church in this territory of this de nomination, the World of that place claims. Register Burford has received instruc tions from Washington stating that the land oflice at Oklahoma City would not be opened until a transcript of the records of the records in Guthrie and Kingfisher, which pertain to that district, can be made. The judge thinks it will be three weeks or a month yet before the ollice can be opened. It. T. Simons, J. B. Johnson, W. D. Cor nelius and Dr. Shive. of Kingfisher, left Tuesday for Shawneetown, in the Potta watomie country, to interview the Indian commissiorers and got them here to nego tiate with the Cheyennes and Arapahoe Indians. This land, n,000,(XW acres, lies immediately west of Kingfisher and as far west as Texas. It is not even claimed by the Indians themselves. Ardmore Courier: Lewis Bolston, a Cherokee by blood, was the first Indian to avail himelf of the privilege of lwcoming a United State? citizen as provided by act of congress of May 2. After the usual re cital of facts the decree of the court c1om as follows: "It is hereby ordered and de creed that said Lewis Kolston le and he is hereby declared to be a citizen of the United States of America and under the protection of the same." This matter has created considerable interest ami the fu ture movements of the Indiana in this di rection will be closely watched. More light is dawning upon the Indian mind. During the late conference of the government commission with the Sac and Fox tribe Chief Keokuk made the follow ing plea to his red brethren: "Here are men," said the chief with pride, pointing to the councillors, "they are not boys. They make you meet Ijovh in other places, but thes-e men in front of you know the government''! wishes and policy, and they want to promote the effort of the trovernment to Usach the Indians to work and do like white men. Ther think it Avould be best for the Indians to be near neighbors to white men."

BUFFON'S FOBMULA. Button's formula of tho duration of koman beings and animals is that they ex ist six orsevn times as long as they are growing or attaining perfect adult develop ment. He adduces the examples of humans and animals. Tho union ofman is effected t twenty years, that of tho horse at three years, that of tho ox at four years, that of tho dog et two years, etc. He asserts that humans and animals live six or seven times as tho terms of their growth. Such being the finally arranged scientific biological results of ages of observation, why this extreme rarity of centenarians and great scarcity of octogenarians? Why is it that not one out of ten thousand lives to be 100 years old, when originally tha minimum was two hundred years? Hufebrad asserts that wo may set it down as a rule "that man and animals live eight times as long as they grow." Ha also asserts that "a man in his natural state, whoso the period of his maturity is not hastened by art, requires full twenty years to attain his full growth and con formation, and this proposition will givo him an absolute ago of 200 years."

The comparative lonyovityof thoncients and moderns is a question of vital interest. The patriarchs were dearly longer livers than the present race. Methuselah at torned to upwards of 300 years, tho ortho dox intcjprctatkra of Hosier, or to near 1000 yoax5, old style verbal rendering. In either esse Methuselah is a precious fact, as aro eSso Jarod, Noah, Adam, Seth, Canaan, Eaos and mi&ny other precious facts, who lived to attain at least 00 rears. Very nearly approaching the ages of theso men of centuries, as already inwrprcted, profane history has many records of longevity with interesting examples. The followhyrtobleof Mr. Easton, of Salisbury, England, has striking points not only in long life, bat s representing a variety of types -atebo different bloods or races, show ing: hei long life is not characteristic of any one race or compound race: St. Patrick died A. D.40L aged 123 years. Attila died in A. D. 500, agod lZi years. Sughwach died in A. D. 500, aged 150 years. St. Oocmazum died in A. D. 613, aged 120 years. Countess of Desmond died m A.

Not York city, in one of the suburbs whoso shores are eplashed by tho waters of th Hudson, stands as tidy and attractive a house es it is possible to find. Its plato windows glisten brightly in the sun, the well kept lawns are the com ment of every one who rides by; in short, it is an ideal suburban home. It is occu pied by a woman, now a trifle over forty years of age, with a face which still beats the marks of its singuhvr beauty in youth. Early in life she was one of the belles of one of our great eastern cities. She became engaged to a young man of .brilliant pros pects and social standing; but a lover's quarrel broke off the match, and-almost shattered the intellect and heoltL d the beautiful girl. She left home, and, liting alone and in poverty she determined to be gin a career for hersalf. She had literary talent, and this she de veloped by writing stories. At first she met with poor success, but faced by star vation and too proud to return to her fam ily sho resorted to writing sensational stories for tbo cheap weeklies. Success be gan to favor her, and she soon found her stories in greater demand than she could mentally supply them. Night and day she worked with the pen, however, and for eight years sho toiled on, denying herself every pleasure and comfort, carrying ninety cents of every dollar which she earned to the savinga' bank. Her goal was for a home of her own, nestled in some quiet place, somewhere away from tho theatre of her youthful career, where, all alone, she might enjoy the peace and quiet for which her aching soul pined. At tho end of nino years she chose the spot where she now lives, and under her own eye built tho beautiful little homo which today is her templo of rest. During the process of building she kept on with her literary work, writing mora industri ously than ever to gain a competency on which she might lh e. Two years after tho time she hod purchased tho ground sho moved from her humble city apartments vo her country home. From that moment till tho present day she has never written a lino for publication, although for a long time her publishers offered her largo prices. ?ho had accomplished tho object for which uho toiled so hard; and now, with a homo of her own, and a small but comfortable income from her invested literary earnings, she lives in quiet and peace, her lot shared only by a young girl who runs her errands and does minor household work. Her neighbors never see her except when he is working in her garden during the open season. Her home faces the water and looks over to the opposite shoro of tho Hudson. There, directly opposito to her house, began to rise, two years ago, a pala tial residence, now completed, tho upper -vrindows of which often throw the reflec tion of the setting sun into the open door or curtainod windows of tho more modest dwelling of tho literary recluso. The handsome homo on the western side of tho river is that of a rich merchant, whose wife is a well known society leader, and whoso children are the admiration of their circle. The merchant knows not who lives in tho trim little house on the opposite shore. The sweet faced woman, whoso life happi ness now is within herself and her homo, is ignorant of the occupant of the mansion on tho other shoro. Only a few persons know the occupants of "both houses, and they do not lift the veil, for peace and contentment dwell in the houses on both shores, and why disturb their tranquillity? Edward W. Bok in Ladies' Ilome Journal. Ivy on tho Tront Walls. European travelers visiting the United States invariably declare that the resi dence districts of Boston are more attract ive than those of Now York. There is an easy explanation to be offered for their preference for the New England capital. Boston has found a substitute for shade trees in the finest residence quarter. Tho long blocks of substantially built brick and stone houses there are covered with ivy trained as high as the second floor lino or to tho roof, as tho taste of tho occupants requires les3 or more of this beautiful screen of fresh foliage. The absence of trees passes unnoticed when the eye is Tefreshed by constant glimpses of verdure on the house fronts. On tho hottest midsummer days the resi dence streets of Boston look cool and at tractive. Tho monotonous character of tho architecture is concealed by this most graceful and luxuriant of vines. In tho streets of New York there are fewer bhado trees than are to be seen in Boston, and hence there is more urgent need o vino planting; but tho residents hero have been jlow to appreciate the necessity for screen ing and decorating their brown stone fronts. New York streets have a bare and cold as pect. Ivy planting on a largo scale is need ed in order to improve and beautify the massively built residences. New York Tribune. Was Columbus a Jew? Jews figure prominently in the history of tho discovery cf America. Tho plans and calculations for Columbus' expedition were largely tho work of two Hebrew as tronomers and mathematicians. Two Jews, also, wero employed as interpreters by Co lumbus, and ono of them, Luis de Torres, was the first European to set foot in the New World. When Columbus sighted the island of San Salvador ho imagined ho was approaching a portion of tho East Asi atic coast, and he sent Torres who was engaged for his knowledge of Arabic ashoro to mako inquiries of the natives. It was, probablthis Torres who was tho Madrid Jew to whom Columbus be queathed half a mark of silver in his wilL Another curious fact is that it has been seriously suggested, by Dr. Delitzsch we believe, that Culumbus himself was a Jew, or of Jewish birth. The name Christo pher was frequently adopted by converts, while tho surname Colon was borne by a distinguished family of Jswish scholars. Christopher's brother, Diego, bore origin ally tho Jewish name Jacob, which sounds surprisingly like a Shern Kadosh. Perhaps some Jewish scholars in Italy will make inquiry into tho validity of this daring sug gestion. Jewish World. When IInndkcchieCs Wero Kara.

He-spat on 1m. hook, and quickly tluW-an again, right where he lost the chub. "Prom what I know about these fool chubs," Baid the. judge, "that one will take the hook right away again." The bait had hardly sunk when the judge got another bite. It gave a stiff tug andstarted away. The judge hooked his fish. "Any chub that fools with -my hook twice," heremarked, "is as-good as sizzling in my frying pan." The judge yanked the fish out of tho water. It wasn't a chub. It was a two pound eel. "Yon don't catch me fooling with no leather headed chubs when Lean get eels," said the judge, as he pulled his wriggling, squirming prize toward him. He lifted the eel out of the water and made a grab for its neck and got it. Before the judge could exactly figure out how it was done the eel had climbed up his arm, twined itself a moment around his neck, and then went down his left leg as if the leg were spiral stairs. The next thing the judge knew the eel had scooted back to the river and disappeared in it, leaving tho judge with his pole and part of the line, but no hook. "That settles itl" he exclaimed. 'Tm after fish, not eels. When I want anything of that kind 111 go and spear snakes." Then, the judge says, ho started home hot and disgusted. On his way he discov ered a big, long legged crane standing in the water watching for fish. "I guess I'll go home and get my gun," said the judge, "and kill that crane." Ho hurried home and got his gun. When he came back the crane was still on the watch for fish. The judge encaked up to within easy rang and blazed away. The crane looked around surprised, and then flew off Ian guidly. The judge looked after the crane until it disappeared. Then ho examined his gun. "This don't seem to be my day for sport," said he, and went home. He wasn't en tirely satisfied with the way things had gone, though, and that night he thought he might oven things up by putting out a set line in tho stream, and let it try its luck for him during the dim and stilly watches of tho night. So he put out bis set line and went home and to bed. Bright and early next morning he went out to see what tho set line had done for him. When he got to the spot ho saw a crano standing in the water right whevo his line was. As the judge approached tho crano rose to fly away, but something pulled it back again into the water with a jerk. Tho judge Tvas too much surprised to speak, and ho hardly knew what to do Finally he made up his mind to capture the crone, which he did. Then he found that it had swallowed ono of his hooks and more than half of the lino it was tied to. This natur ally called for a little further investiga tion, which resulted in tho discovery that tho reason tho crano had swallowed tho hook was because there was a two pound eel fast to it. The judge says tha his sur prise was increased when ho saw in the eel's jaw the hook and piece of line he had lost the day before, but when he found that tho reason the eel had taken the set line hook that tsubsoquently led tho crano to take the eel was because a one pound chub had gobbled the hook first, he just sat down and fanned himself with his hat to keep from fainting. "Because there was tho fool chub that got away from me tho day before," says tho judge, "and there was the acrobatic eel that had climbed all over ma and then stolo my hook,-and there was tho spindlo shanked crane that jumped out of the way of my gun, all caught on ono hookl If all don't come to him who waits, then Td like to know why." Bath Cor. New York Sun. Boy's Trlolta That Wore arcan. They wero by no means tho worst boys who did such things, but only tho most thoughtless. Still, there was a public opinion which ruled out certain tricks, and gave the boys who played them the name of being "mean. One of these was boring a hole in the edge of your school desk to meet a shaft sunk from the top, which you filled with slate pencil dust. Then, if you were that kind of boy, you got some little chap to put his eye close to the shaft, with the hope of seeing Niagara Palls, and set your lips to the hole in the edge, and blew his eye full of pencil dust. This was mean; and it was also moan to get some unsus pecting child to oloso the ond of an elder wood tube with his thumb, and look hard at you, while you showed him Germany: You did this by pulling a string below the tube, and running a needle into his thumb. My boy discovered Germany in this way long before he had any geographical or po litical conception of it. W. D. Howells in Harper's Young People. Dlvtaa: for Pearls. Diving here is exceedingly primitive; all the necessary paraphernalia ore a loop of ropo and a stone to go down with, a curious horn thing to hold the nose, and oil for the orifice of tho ears. Once a merchant brought with him a diving apparatus, but the divers wero highly indignant, and, leaguing against him, refused to show the best banks. In this way the fisheries suffer, for the best pearls are- in the deepor waters, which can only be visited late in the season. The divers are mostly negro slaves from Africa; they do not live long, poor crea tures, developing awful sores and weak eyes, and they live and dio entirely without medical aid. Bahrein Cor.

Tho reminder that this man, Charias Langheimor, was one of tho nrlsoners with whom Dickens con- i versed, of whose condition ha drew such a mournful picture, is scarcely necessary. t He compared the little garden leadins into the main cell to a grave.

With tears pouring down his cheeks ha begged to be sent back to the penitentiary, even if his timo was doubled. His request Y5& granted. jRvithLangheimer stealing was a disease. Mr. Vaux tells me that at one time ha could have trusted him to carry a- thousand dollars in gold to bank, but upon Ms re turn, if he saw a doorway open ho could not resist the temptation to enter it and pick up tho first thing he could lay hnntls on. After his last imprisonment his daughter, who is married to a very respect able man, refused to have anything more to do with him. He was then 80 years of age, and without a penny. He was given an order of entrance to the almshouse. With this in his hand he entered Mr. Vaux's office and said: "See what I have come to. Please don't let me go to the almshouse. Send me out to tho prison. It Is tho only good home I ever had. Please send me back there." If Dickens could have heard those words I wonder what he would have said. "Charley," said Mr. Vaux, "I don't know whether or not the warden can take you in, and then, too, you are a dreadful nuisance. But if you will promise to behave yourself you can go out to the prison and ask the warden if ho can find room for you." He presented himself and made his re quest and pleaded earnestly that it might be granted. Finally tho good hearted warden said: ,fWeU, if you behave your self I guess wo can find room for you and enough for you to eat." The old man act ually leaped for joy and tore his almshouse pass into bits, which Mr. Cassidy, tho warden, afterward collected and pasted to gether, and the card is now ono of the curi osities of tho big building. Tho next time Mr. Vaux visited the prison h met Lang heimer, who began ono of his customary complaints similar, probably, to tha which deceived Dickens this tlmetho trou ble being of an alleged rhomsaticcharaoter. Mr. Vaux jocosely seized him by tho shoul ders and shook him until he screamed. The next time they met, tho old man said, laughingly: "Mr. Vaux, shake all the rheumatism out of mo!" But in a few days the pains of old age, whoso meaning he did not understand, returned with re newed violence, and h9 sent for tha ward en. When Mr. Cassidy saw hfaa in his coll he knew that poor Langhaimer's time had come, and two hours later he quietly breathed his last in tho-prison in which ho had spent the greater part of a prolonged life. Solitary confinement had permitted him to die of old age. Philadelphia In quirer. Wblte and Deaf. Mr. Harrison Weir, president of tho Na tional Cat club, England, says In his book, "Our Cats," that a white cat of the long or short haired breed is likely to be "deaf. Should it havo blue eyes, tho fancy color, it is almost certain to be deaf. Mr. Weir, at a cat show, purchased a white cat, a beauty, loving and gentle, for tho low price of two guineas. When ho got It home, the cat proved to be "stone deaf." Then the trouble began. If shut out of tho dining room, its cry for admission could be heard all over tho house, for, being deaf, it did not know the noise it made, though its owner often wished'that it could hear its own cry. When it called-out as it sat on his lap, it called with ten cat power, and its commanding voice caused it to be named the "Colonel." One day a friend saw the "beauty," and admired it so much as to accept itas a gift, even after being told that it was "Btone deaf." A few days after Mr. Weir received a letter from the friend, offering to return the loud voiced cat. "Give it to any one you please, but don't return it to us," was the reply. The "Colonel" was given to a deaf old lady, and both wore happy. One Hundred Yards Dash. The fastest running thus far done by any amateur for 100 yards from a standstill is ton seconds, and if one may believe the best authorities in the way of sporting journals, amateur runners have been com ing up to this limit occasionally ever since 18S8, but not ono has passed it. In that twenty-odd years some eight American amateurs and an equal number of English men have dashed down the track in the even time of ten seconds, while hundreds have run tb course in tho next fraction of a second. This record was made flrst in London in 186S, and last in Detroit in 1889. Walter Camp, in Century. A Delicate XXepat. That sprightly Bockiand skipper, Capt.

DAY FIREWORKS MANUFACTURED BY THE INGENIOUS ISLANDERS. f Sesnarkable Results Achieved in.-Smoke Effects, Balloons, Parachutes .aiwj Com binations of tbe Three Tho Grotesque in Pyrotechnics. Copyright by American Press Association. Although we surpass the oriental races In our knowledge of chemistry and me chanics we have never been able 'tacom pet with them in practical pyrotechnics. In t;his industrial field they have developed a skill, if not a science, that is well mWi miraculous, and are as much our masters today as they were at the time of t&ein vention or introduction of gnn powder in Europe. Long before that event the Chi- A GROTBSQUE HEAD. tso were enjoying firecrackers from those imo larger than a match to the monstrous ones which weigh five pounds apiece bombs, Roman candles and Bengal lights. At the same time the Japanese were send ing up balloons in a thousand shapes and developing their wonderful system of day fireworks into a fine art. Cf the two races the Chinese were by lGag odds the first in point of time. Their annals show that the familiar firecracker was known to the people of tho Flowery Kingdom at least 1150 B. C. On tho other hand there is no direct proof that the Jap anese were able t6 manufacture fireworks of any sort prior to 1040, same twenty-one centuries afterward. But the Chinese seemed satifled with what little progress they made in the early age, andhave never gone beyond what they i then accomplished. The Japanese, on tho contrary, have never been stationary, but have kept -up experiment and research to the very present moment. Many who read these lines will recall the invention of pyro technic novelties and improvements by tho Japanese and their supplanting older but lps attractive pieces as soon as brought over 1x the United States. In discussing tho remarkable success of his countrymen in this industrial art a member of the Japanese embassy at "Wash ington said to me recently: "Tho secret of our prosperity is not as simple as might be supposed. In the first place we have a trade system something like tho guilds of Europe. A good fireworks maker brings up ono or more of his sons to follow him in his profession and teaches them every little .trick or discovery he has made or that has been handed down to him by his ancestors. there are many families home that have Been fireworks makers for more than a con- fury, and who seemingly have a natural id of genius for that vocation. In Yoko- la I know one manufacturer whoso isiness has belonged to his family for it generations, and whose employes can it back as many generations during pi their ancestors have been employed 3 same place. Wal$f A MTTUICAL ANIMAL. 10 low price of labor is another ele- at of importance. There is a very large lunt of unskilled labor required in the sduction of fireworks. Such work as cutting and coloring of paper from pat- rns, tho pasting and fastening of edges of icy balloons and the making of tinv para- lutes involves the lowest order of intelli- It could be done by little children 1st as well as by grown folks. When tho Ittor do this kind of toil for a living they at children's wages and certainly could txpect nothing more. Like labor, the raw materials are very cheap also and espe cially since so many of our youth havo re ceived a scientific education in Europe and America and have introduced foreign pre cesses into their own land. "On account of the great technical skill of the artisans and the cheapness of labor and materials our manufacturers are ablo and willing to spend money liberally in ex perimenting and trying every new notion that comes along. This they have beeu doing for more than a hundred years, and a result is the discovery almost weekly of Bomo new feature or production in fire works. To these sovoml different causes may be ascribed the success of the Japan ese in the pyrotechnic world. They have no rivals anywhere, no other land being ablo to combine so many favorable condi tions or having the expert artisans for which Japan is famous." In ordinary displays, such as set pieces, rockets and bombs, there is but little dif ference between tho Japanese and the American. It is in tho so called "day fire works" that tho former asserts his suprem acy. These are of various kinds and class es, but may be roughly divided into smoke effects, balloons, parachutes and combina tions between the three. The balloons are liko our own; the others are made in tho form of bombs, which are fired from mor tars and do not make any display until they have exploded in midair. j A PYEOTECHXIC ELEPHANT. The balloons are always of moderate Bize, the great majority being about six End but few exceeding ten feet in length. 5?hey are made of a strong and durable wAye paper, are printed in colocs and usu Tuljretouehed with tho brush by the arti pans of the east before they are allowed to leave the workshop. So far as shapss are concerned there is almost endless variety. The commonest kinds are these which imi tate the domestic animals. Next to these in popularity arc the shapes of birds, fish, fruits, reptiles and J--igcs?n. Beyond thes? tad much less oaososiieaL i not less pop ular, ere human fisu-Ks.

By the employment of similar ingenious artifices bird balloons are made to appar ently fly, monkeys, to roll and climb, ser pents to rise like corkscrews, men ami wo men tocevolve as if -dancing, bats'toslowly flap theirwings 'and. dragons to open and close their jaws as if .eating. Anofcner-fea-turQ which shows to advantage urfche night time is a trail of fireworks attached to the balloon and which when ignited pour down silver and golden rain, fireballs, stars, flame leaves and spark bursts. Corresponding to these fire trails are what may be called smoke trails. The trail is charged with some inflammable substance like pitch, which is so-treated as to give out great volumes of heavy dense black smoke, which fall slowly away from the balloon and leave a long wavy line in" the air to indicate the varying cur rents and eddies of the atmosphere. Some very expensive balloons have trails so ar ranged as to give lines of smoke in two, three and even four colors. As for the "smoke effects," they are so marvelous that one must see them to be lieve what may bo told. In its simplest form the firework is a simple shell which explodes in mid air, producing d globe of smoke. It3 next step is a ring similar to those made by locomotives when the ex haust is turned on at starting. Beyond this again is the wheel, which is produced either by alternating the strength of tho THE WEEPING WILLOW, bomb cover or tho quality of the exploding material within. The wheel may be either vertical or horiaontal and when carefully prearranged wiii last a long time. Out of the wheel grew the cobweb, the ball of stars-and the spider and web. The last named has been so developed that now when the bomb explodes a vast cobweb is seen on whose surface is a gray object, pre sumably a fly, and over it a brown one or spider. The latter is the heavier and falls faster than tho former, overtaking and mixing with it before it falls below the surface of the web. By having the exploding force drive out slow burning solids as well as its own smoke what are known as the umbrella, jelly fish, tree and weeping willow designs were created. These are exquisitely beauti ful. The outline is a series of parabolic curves and the lines are a mass of delicate waves. Another typo is tho loop. In this the smoke moves in irregular curves, but pro duces a very picturesque effect. No one in this country understands how these loop curves are made. Japanese experts, how ever, have a thorough knowledge, and claim to be able to make 500 varieties. To bomb and balloon alike parachutes are attached. These in the simplest form are pieces of bright colored paper or other tissue whose ends are bent over by a weighted string similar to those made by every American boy in his childhood. Be yond this is the parasol or umbrella, made of the lightest :i:i 1 CI nrlctft materials. Beyond the. ij an endless number of odd shapes, cut out of tinsel paper and other light stuffs and fashioned to resem blo or suggest everything in heaven, earth and in the water beneath the earth. Tho effect of the contrast between these and the smoke figures is sometimes more than startling. Thus far we have only begun to utilize the pyrotechnics of Japan. Of what has been describad and suggested hardly a tenth has yet been brought across the seas to be seen by our own people. Judging from the increasing popularity of the Jap anese who are settled here and tho increas ing prestige of their goods andwares. it is highly probable that the next five years will make their fireworks as familiar here as they are in tho capitals of the east. William E. S. Fales. A Wedding' Tour in a Coach. Mr. Clifford Trimble Woodrow, a lead ing society man of Cincinnati, and Miss Pinkie Tilman, daughter of Banker Til man, of Louisville, Ky., were married in the latter city recently. Tho same evening they started out on their wedding tour in one of the most remarkable equipages ever seen in Louisville. It was a huge four seated carriage, painted yellow, with oak trim mings, and covered with a yellow leather 'surrey top. It was drawn by two horses the ono snow white and the other as black as the traditional ace of spades, both hand somely caparisoned in harness of fair leather, with silver trimmings. In this conveyance Mr. Woodrow and his bride made their wedding tour. They proceeded to Cincinnati in a leisurely manner, driv ing only between sunset and midnight. The Columbus Qaater-Ccntenary. Tho celebration in 1S92 of the quater-centenary of the discovery of America by Co lumbus will form a grand display both in Spain and Italy. The Spaniards will keep the anniversary at all tho towns where Co lumbus lived even for a short time and erect monuments there, while Madrid will hold a grand exhibition. Genoa, as the great discoverer's birthplace, proposes a historic naval oxlribition, a geographical and historical congress, regattas reproduc ing Genoese maritime life in Vh& time of Columbus, and a grand opera onliis career. The houfio where Columbus was born is to be restored and other memorials erected. Smith Hello, Robinson Will you shake for drinks?

For trhnmiS25 bats the velvet or silk ro eettes are much in vogue. They are easily made after one knows how. You must conclude how large a rosette you want, and widen or narrow your material to suit tho size. The rosette most fancied is just about the size of a rose, and the material, cut on tho bias, is folded to be an inch wide. The strip is then gathered and drawn into shape, it being fastened in that way on a circle of stiff net. Sew it secure ly and do not attempt to plait it to shape it must be gathered. One, two or three rosettes are used, and the number usually decides the size. An eighth of a yard of velvet, cut on the bias, will make one me dium sized rosette, and this seems to be that best liked. Amateurs usually err in over trimming a hat or a bonnet; so, as straw ones are not so troublesome to ar range as those of velvet, do not commit this fault.

On the evening of the 2d of last May the farmers living three or four miles south east of Norway, la., saw in the heavens an elongated pear shaped mass of dazzling whiteness. It seemed "bigger'n a mount ain" to their excited vision, but intelligent I observers agree that it was probably about 2,000 feet long and 400 wet in diameter, with a tail of twice that length and much narrower across than the solid body. While the farmers gazed and wondered "the thing bust" and they sought shelter, fearing all sorts of direful woes. Hardly had they gained their protecting roof tiees when patter, bang and boom came the most tremendous shower on record in that section. No one went out to investigate till morning. Then the natives saw that for a space three miles long and a mile wide the ground looked like an immence board into which a gigantic fowling piece had impelled a load of buckshot. While they gazed and wondered some scientists A FRAGMENT OF THE METEOR, who had been tracing down the locality of tho phenomenon rode up and explained that the light and noise had been caused by a meteor and that within the queer holes that pepper boxed tho fields and meadows lay fragments of the vagrant of the skies. These if secured would prove valuable primarily to the farmers and per manently to tho astronomers. Briefly, the visitors offered 2 a pound for pieces of the meteor. Tho owners of the soil dropped every thing else to close with the new bargain, and since then have been making largo profits "digging up stones and sellin' 'em for greenbacks." The fragment of greatest size yet unearthed is shown in the accom panying illustration. It weighs sixty-six pounds, and was sdld by its finder for $132. Francis Slorphy to Marry.

The prejudice against theeating of horse flesh among English speaking peoples has a religious origin. Horse eating: was prac ticed as a sacriSce to Odin. The early mis sionaries who Christaanised England pro hibited horso eating by their Anglo-Saxon converts. The prejudice thus created soon becameingrained, and entwined itself with a prejudice in favor of the horse engendered by the Normans' love for equestrian exer cise. "ot a Fail ore.

The Head of the Family Tries to Tut TJp Some Screen Doors Tho Result. An expressman brought up a small jag of lumber the other af&nooa and left it at-tlra barn, and when Mr. Bowser came home I mentioned the fact and asked what he Intended to do win it. "It's forscreen doors for the front doors," herepTied. "Gaxpencer coming up to make them?" "Hsven'tepgaged any."' "Mr:BQwser. sad are .not coins to try 'ftim&zx wrfh7i SV''i( and make them yoorsSlf r' "There won't be any trying about it. I sha!lprocesd,to.make and.lngthem." "I?m.ai!raickyou can't do it.

"Haven't I got about S50 worfh-of tools? Don'tlknow how to handle them?" '11 wish you had given your order at the shop; as other" f olks.-doj" "I'll be -hanged if I pay any $8 for a pair of doors -when I can make 'envforSSl You are always dead set against anything I undertake!" "Mr. Bowser, you can't make a screen door. You can't han one. Don't 'blame mo when the failure comes." ''Blame youl Are yHu.getting crazy? If those doors are not a success yon won't hear a word of fault from me not a peep. 1 was thinking of ordering them, but being you havo stuck your nose -up so high I'll make 'em now just to show you that I can do itl" And next morning he pujfc on an old suit and went out to the barn and before 9 o'clock he had measured four different times for those doors. It wasn't long before I saw him sneaking around to the front with one of the pieces. I watched him as he tried it and it was all of twelve inches short. JVfr. Bowser scratched his ear, growled like a bear and looked as foolish as a boy caugbtdn a har vest apple tree. Ten minutes later he was at the telephone ordering more stuff. "Were they too short?" -1 asked as he hung up the trumpet. "N no, but I thought I'd get heavier stuff," he mumbled as he shot outdoors. The stuff came up after dinner, and it was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when be put one of the frames together and stood it up in the door. I went ouf and as he began to smile with satisfaction I said: "Mr. Bowser, that door is squeegawed." "Squeegawed? Squeegawed? YThat does that stand for in the back counties?" "Your door is wider at the bottom than at the top." "Itcan'ibel" "But your own eyes will convince you. There's an inch differenccl" "Neverl I'll bat you a million dollars there isn't a hair's breadth!" I ran for my tapeline and soon proved that the difference was over an inch. "Oh, well, I can fix that in a moment," he said, but it was 9 o'clock that evening before he came in. It was 10 o'clock next forenoon when I went out to tho barn. Ho had the door covered with the wire clotli and proudly called my attention to it. "Which is the outside of the door?" I asked. "Why, the side this way, of course." "Then you've tacked the cloth on the in sidel" "That's where it belongs." "You never saw it there, Mr. Bowser never! And look at the way you have tacked the stuff on. It's humped up in a dozen different places, because you pulled it askew." "There isn't one hump not the sign of a hump. I'll give any man a billion dollars to make a better job of it! All that door needs now is painting." "But don't they paint the frames before they tack the cloth on? How are you going to paint tho inside of the frame?" "Don't you worry yourself about this job, Mrs. Bowser. I wasn't born alongside of a huckleberry marsh!" Mr. Bowser had been at work an hour next morning before I went out. He had the doors at the front, and he seemed to have some trouble about hanging them. "You see what you've done, don't you?" I asked, after a survey of the scene. "I don't believe I'm either near sighted or color blind," he said. "Well, youive got-one -door' wrong side up, to begin with." "H-how?" "Look at the panels and see. Then you have been trying to hang one to swing in and the other to swing out." "I have, eh? That shows all you know about it. I'm simply fitting the screens so they will shut tight." Just before noon he got a hang on both doors, and as I looked at them from the hall I had to sit down on the floor and laugh. They didn't meet in the center within two inches and each was half an inch short at the top and bottom. He had also hung them with the cloth on the in side. Just then a neighbor came along and turned in to the steps. After looking at the doors for half a minute in great as tonishment he queried: "Something just from Paris, Bowser?" "What do you mean?" "Why, you've got a new idea in screen doors. I suppose the space at the bottom is for bugs, that at the top for mosquitoes, and the center for flies. 1 see you have left the frames exposed. They will make capi tal roosting places for horse flies and pinch bugs. Did you do this job?" "Y-yes." "Well, if I had a girl 10 years old who couldn't beat it I'd make her go barefoot all summer." "I didn't make these doors for your bouse, sir." "Thank Heaven for that! Bowser, you're a brick a soft brick! I'll come up this evening with a band and serenade those doorsl" When the neighbor had gone I suddenly felt the back end of the house lift up. It was Mr. Bowser pulling those screen doors off. Ho couldn't even wait to take the Bcrews out of the hinges. They came off in detachments and tbe pieces were flung into the back yard. When he had finished he came in and said: "Mrs. Bowser, I want to have a talk with you a very serious talk!" "But didn't I tell you how it would bo?" "Never! Yon encouraged me to go ahead, and to please a whim of yours Pve lost three days' time, pounded myself all over, spent $3 in cash and been made a butt of ridicule!

The sense of smell is strongly defined in a horse, and it depends more on this tense than on that of sight. A horse will leave musty hay in a bin untouched, no matter how hungry. He will not drink of Tester objectionable to his questioning sniff nor from a bucket which some other odor makes offensive, no matter how thirsty. His in telligent nostrils will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered him by the fairest of hands.

SHOT DOWN IN A CAB. Tb Sensation Which Eecantly Agitated the People of 3o3treal. Afight'for a child jhst culminated in 3 fight for -life. MR3. ASV FLOKEXCE-.COWLES. In brief that seems f 6 be the story of the recent Cowles shootimj a&ay at Montreal, an affair that lacks none of the elements of sensationalism. Jn 1879 Eugene H. Cowles, son of tho proprietor .of The Cleveland Leader, mar ried Alice Hale, the daugtiter of a wealthy Ohio banker. The couple lived happily until about five years ago, when Mrs. Cowles began to suspect that her husband had engaged in an intrigue. Of this it is said she later on secured absolute proof, but a reconciliation was brought about through the intervehf ion" of the husband's father, Mr. Edwin Cowles. Promises of reformation were followed by fresh lapses, and when Edwin Cowles died he showed in his will the evidence of the displeasure caused by his son's conduct. He left the young man only a net income of 52,000 from the estate, but pro vided handsomely for Eugene's wife and child, the lat ter a bright little girl named Flor ence. The couple separated, Mrs. Cowles continu HALE. ing to resido at Cleveland and her husband going to Lockport, N. Y. On his last visit to Ohio Mr. Cowled secured possession of Florence and fled with her to Canada. Ho was followed by his wife and her brother, Mr. CT C. Hale. Tho parties to the diffi culty met atyMontreal. After considerable argument Mr. Cowles agreed to show where he had concealed his daughter, and the three entered a cab. As it rolled along the streets passers by were startled by a shot, a woman's shriek and a struggle. Hale had sent a pistol ball through Cowles' neck, the latter, he alleged, having attempted to kill his wife. Tho wounded man was taken to a hospital, Hale was arrested and Mrs. Cowles found quarters in a hotel. Legal proceedings im mediately instituted gave the mother cus tody of her child. At this point there is a temporary lull in the family quarrel, for no further steps can be taken until young Cowles recovers. Then, if he chooses to prosecute, Mr. nale must stand trial for the shooting. If he declines, tho other phase of the affair the dispute over the property and the child will doubtless bo settled in the Ohio courts. WAS IT MURDER OR SUICIDE? The Mystery Surrounding tho Violent Death of an Illinois Girl. Was Ella Cordell murdered, or did she commit suicide? This is tho question at present agitating the minds of a large number of people in Iowa and Illinois. On May 20 Miss Cordell, a prepossessing young woman of 21, left her home at Industry, Hls. to visit rela tives at Bo wen, in the same state. She was last seen alive at Golden, where she pur chased a ticket for Keokuk, la. As the term of her absence lengthen ed her family grew alarmed and be gan a search. While this was in ELLA CORDELL. progress domo fishermen found the body of a woman btranded on the beach of an island in the Mississippi, a few miles above Canton, Mo. About the same time hunters stumbled on an empty grave in Crooked Creek bottom, a desolate portion of Hancock county, Ills. The fishermen buried the unknown corpse where they discovered it. A fevr daj-s later ic was dug up, and proved to bo the remains of Ella Cordell. The body bore marks of violence, but whether they had been received at the hands of man or while floating in the river is yet to bo established. Those who favor the assault and murder theory believe that the tragedy occurred in Crooked Creek bottom, and that the as sassin first buried the body there, but af terward exhumed it and ca&t it into the Mississippi. One man townrd whom sus picion pointed was taken into custody at Keokuk, but afterward released for lack of evidence. Before leaving home Miss Cor dell borrowed a revolver of a male friend. This is now missing. WOULDN'T BE DARED. The Iteason Dan Wilcox Took a Leap to Death. Dan Wilcox, a noted swimmer of Cin cinnati, has saved over a score of people from drowning. Proud of his record and his skill ho was occasionally given to boast ing, and this led to hi3 death. The other day friends who had been regaled with stories of his prowess and ability dared him to jump from the mid dle span of the Louisville and Nashville bridge to the river below. Dan "wouldn't be dared" and made the leap. He turn ed in the air and struck the water breast downward. When picked up blood was gushing from his mouth acd ears.

Buta second verse, perfect in -form but absurd in meaning, came into his mind, azrl then a third and fourth. Lighting a lamp he took up a pen and wrote down rapidly the lines that had come to him. As he wrote new verses fell from his pen, and when he had finished his task a poem of eight' stanzas lay before him. He was surprised to1 find that, taken in their entirety, the verses were far from meaningless. He at once put the poem in an envelope and directed it to a publishing firm. Plac ing it among other letters to be mailed by a servant in the morning he returned to bed and at once fell asleep. Upon awak ing he was uncertain whether he had dreamed of writing a poem or had really transcribed one. As his letters liad been posted he had no means of deciding tho question. His uncertainty was pleasantly relieved the next day, however, by the re ceipt of a handsome check from his pub lishers ar.d a letter praising his poem. The peculiarity of this case, which makes, it very different from the celebrated instance of Coleridge and his poem of "Kublau Khan" lies in the fact that the author had I not been dreaming. He awake from what seemed to him a dead sleeo and found that his imagination had produced, without conscious effort on his poem. New York World. How to Doxl -with a Balky Horse. It is a common thing to "see horses that j havo been balked a few times turn their heads and look back as soon as thoy are a niue ixuburuM. xuu, is oecsu.se tney uavo been whipped and are afraid of what is be- hind them." Again and again in his book Mr. Rarey dwelt, on the importance of being gentle with the horse; approaching him gently and deliberately, so as uot to startle qr excite him. He speaks of the necessity of having entire 1-ontrol over one's elf, because the horse, being a timid animal, is easily bewildered aud fright ened, and is thus made the more unfit to understand what is required of him. Pat ting and caressing have a quieting effect, and are conducive to understanding the animal and the man. The hore ij quick to learn and quicker to recognize one who can command him. The balking horse should first be pacified, and then his attention diverted from the thing that made him balk. A good sug gestion is to lift one of his forefeet from the ground and tap it gently several times with a stone. "I have never," says tho writer, "failed to start a horse in that very simple way, and I have on several occasions had balky horses which would exhaust tho patience of all former owners." Another method that will often succeed when all others fail is to unhitch the horse, lead him a little way, then pull the vehicle to him and hitch him up again. Never jerk or pull at the bit of a balky horse. By all means refrain from whipping him. Those methods only make him worse. Apportion his load to the distance to be traveled and the condition of the road, and never under any circumstances overload your horse. New York Times. Across tho Llamas' Country.

Ills servant were more often in chains thnu out of them, and Mr. Rockhill himself only es caped death by a series of fortunate chances, so determined were the agents of the Llamas to fnistrate any attempt to ex plore the mysterious and jealously guard ed district between Siliufu and Tstsicnlu, in the Province of Derge. Manager Wlet, Vicar apostolic of Thibet, pronounces tho feat of crossing without an escort the im-menst-stoppes in that land of grass, where the habitations of men aro more to bo dreaded than tho solitude, as tho most dif ficult and dangerous that has been accom plished in Asia during the present century.

Tho munidpcl court, T7hJch i3--the de partment ol tho k judicial, system which comes mora nearly in contact withth9 po lice force, is held in tho Suffolk county court house. Acot-oi-ths presiat build ing is an ilh2stration'f thia article. Thi3 is a plain buildingjf igranite, with a fine Doric portico frontang upon Court street, which in colonialitlAys wa3 called Queen street. The basementjis occupied in part by tho Tombs, or city, prison, which is merely a place of detention for prisoners while awaiting examination or trial. This jail is in charge of a superintendent with several assistants, and a matron is also employed, who has iin oversight of the fe male prisoners. The court housa stands in the center of Court square, and is surrounded by an open space. It was regarded when built as an imposing structure and well suited to its purpose; but it was long ago outgrown, and as above stated a new and magnificent building is in course of erection. It is somewhat remarkable that the site covered by tho -city prison has always been used for a lockup since tiro earliest days of the colony. In thoHrst allotment of land at the founding of tho town, more than 250 years ago, this spot was set apart for a jail, and here tho jailhas always remained. It is believed that the first building for the detention of ovil doera was built of heavy logs, with narrow openings high up for windows. But of this there is no authentic record. Tho work of theBostonofScers, as shown by the report of the board of police, was remarkably.cuicient last year. Twice did tho forco receive the thanks of the mayor for especially valuable service. The first of these occasions was the visit of Presi dent Harrison in August, 1SS3, when tho city was crowded with sightseers. Tho second was upon tho occasion of tho large aud disastrous lire which occurred last Thanksgiving. On this day a detail of 54!) men was sent to tho fire, comprising about five-sixths of the entire force. This large force was admirably handled, and its conduct won tho thanks not only of tho mayor but of the board of fire commission ers as well. Boston has a system of pensions for aged or disabled policemen. At present there aro eighty names upon the rolls. The ma jority of tho dependents are paid S365 yearly. The annual pension roll amounts to upward of $30,000. In addition to this system there is a police charitable fund which amounts to nearly $200,000, all of which is carefully invested. Last year there were fifty-four beneficiaries. Tho Po lice Relief association also has an invested fund of .about $34,000, and last year dis bursed nearly $12,000. SUFFOLK JAIL. Tho electric signal system is in use in Boston, with 411 boxes well distributed about the city. This is a great convenience to the police, enabling them to call for as sistance or send a prisoner to the Tombs or an injured person to tho hospital with out loss of time and without leaving the beat. It is seldom that an officer is dismissed for any offense, but all complaints, how ever trivial, aro carefully considered. But eleven mtn wore dismissed for cause last year. Upon the whole Boston boasts a model force, carefully snd judiciously man aged, which is an honor to tho state and to tho city. E. J. Carpenter. rrnbably the Oldest Inhabitant. Census Taker Bethune, of ALillcdgcville, Ga., in discharging his duties one day re cently ran across the oldest inhabitant, and was puzzled for awhile as to what en try to make of her age. Jane IMoorc, col ored, living in the northern part of tho city, gave hor age as 121 years. Mr. Bethune questioned her for some time and discov ered that the old woman was a regular en cyclopedia of the early days of American independence. Sho knew all about it was there and saw it. She remembered Wash ington and all of the fathers. Sho remem bered their habits and eccentricities, and said that she was married and had children when Washington died. Her oldest living child is SS years old, and sinco its birth sho has been blessed with twenty-seven others. She is evidently not less than 110 years and may bo 121, as sho says. Had a Urard in Ills Stomach. For years John Lingard, of La Porte, Ind., suffered from what the doctors said was tumor of tho' stomach. Lately ho grew much worse and was taken to his bed. For days he was in excruciating spasms, in which ho writhed in a terriblo manner. Oao morning after a terrible choking and strangling attack he vomited up a large black lizard. It was dead and partially encysted. A close examination of tho reptile ehowed that it had no eyes. It was also defective in the limbs and mus cles of locomotion. Thisshowcd it to have grown from a mere germ in tho man's stomach. Air. Lingard lived but a few hours after tho delivery of the lizard.

A Talk with One of the Laborers Who Perils Ufe That HIS Family May Hare Food The World's Estimate of Dar ingr. The world has worshiped at tho shrine of daring since over legend told the tale of Lucifer, son of the morning, brave though fallen, or history, by reciting in martial A3 SEEK FEOJI A FULTON FERRYBOAT, phrase tho work doy.e at Marathon and Thermopylae, placed tho -laurel wreaths oi earth lasting glory upon the brows of Mil tiades and Leonidas. To the cool courage of the warrior, the courage that glints from tho unshrinking eye, that makes the mus cles steel, tho nerves adamant, the heart remorseless, the brain a beacon fire of light ning force, the whole mental and physical organism a consonant resolve to win re nown by conquest or by death, there u granted a meed of homage awarded to no other phase of human existence. "The thunder of tho captains and the shouting" occupy a foremost place in all records both sacred and profane. The student triumphs alike with Joshua be fore the walls of Jericho and with Aure lian leading Zenobia in chains. For the destruction of the great Syrian city or the annihilation of tho Palmyreno kingdom tho obliteration of a people or a race there is left but a passing Tegret. Sorrow and sympathy seldom join hands with ad miration, and admiration bows rarelysave to the successful. Napoleon after Solferino and Napoleon after Sedan are quite differ ent creatures in the view of a world that measures its adulation by results. Very recently a resident of Chicago, Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat, gave form to the thought that homago is due as well to the every day strivings of an honorable man as to tho mighty deeds performed under the search light of a nation's eyes. Recogniz ing the inestimable worth of Gen. Grant's public services, and acknowledging tho fit ness of the military memorials erected to the dead soldier's memory, he still felt that due prominence had not been given to one period of a remarkable career. So from his private purse he has appropriated funds for tho erection at Galena, Ills., of a statue dedicated to Grantv the citizen, the hum ble, valiant, uncomplaining toiler of tha tannery, tho woodyard and the farm, who thought it no disgrace to follow any legiti mate calling that would provide tho means of existence for his loyal wife and their brood of littlo children. Tho idea has its merit, and a largo one, too, for it seems time that an enlightened civilization should learn more fully tbe beauty of tho assertion that "peace hath her victories as well as war," and recognize that in a sense Grant, the civilian of the west, and Lee, tho Virgini.i professor, were of equal worth with tbe generals who played the mighty game of battle in the bloody mazes of the Wilderness, and that duty ranges wider on tho arena of daily toil than on the tented field. I have been led along the line of thought indicated above by a circumstance that in itself would seem to present the remotest possible connection with the proposition advanced the painting of the great bridge which connects the cities of New York and Brooklyn. The work was begun the other day, and will be completed probably by tha end of July. It involves the careful scru tiny and conservation of every strand and cable on which the immense structure de pends for its integrity and endurance as a whole; tho sharp prying of a pick at each doubtful point; tho exposure of any defect however small at the places where tha cross strands join, and finally the applica cation in liberal quantities of a weather de fying paint that will keep rust and frost from wrecking any part of the bridge, which must bo strong in all its details properly to bear tho burden of tho pedes trians, wagons and trains that constantly cross from end to end. In tho baro description the task seems a simple one. but in fact it involves equal peril with that surrounding a soldier on the skirmish Hue. Looking up the other af ternoon from tho forward deck of n Fulton ferry boat, the big bridge appeared to me a combination of beaatiful lines and grace ful tracery. But hero and there tiny biota were displayed whoso presence carried with it the suggestion of flies caught in tho web of a giant spider. Tho blots moved up and down and from point to point with a curious incertitudQ of action. One of them suddenly exhibited itself in silhouette from tho top of a tower nearly S00 feat above the water's surface, and a moment later could bo seen strangely clinging to tho upper side of one of tho main cables, those huge SXTJS&irN JCTD AIK. bands of strengths thai measure sixteen inches in di&n&Cse, and at a distance- as sume the-eiso cfvOidbsarycIssoB Ones. Leaving;tha isxxtt tha Brooklyn exit I sought tha entrance to. the bridga and walked along tha pathsrsj. As nearer viewths ssocisupon tho natn-ork of the strands took shape as men seated on bits of board attachecLto long combinations of rope and tckle dinging to the cables far above, and altcraa&sg the use of the paint brush. with, feafcef the detectiva pick. They were dresstS. In. white cap3 blocses and. overalls, and looked, even at close range, like lads swsrnaing'along a latticed fence. Approaching one of the towers I met a painter just preparing ta begin his upward j journey, xxb aetayea a momeuB 10 answer my questions. "Is the work hard?" I asked. "'Tisn't thewcrk, it's the danger that triea our -nerves." "Then you am in peril when slunj: on thaxaseasi?" Wv "Of course; we tako the cnances of a heavy"wind, of dizziness, of sudden illness, of the rope breaking, of the pulley refus ing to work and things of thatsort." "If an accident should happen, what then?" "A tumble to the bridge would mean mutilation and almost sure death. In a fall to the water a, man would stand one chance in ten of living. But none of us complains. In fact, I'm glad of the -job. It makes my head swim to go up there, rd I grow almost mad with a desire to jompift. When I feel that way, although I ain't a religious man, I just close ray eyes, say alittle prayer and think of tho wife and babies who've got shelter and focabecauss I'can pull out S3 a day on this contract. Would I be here if I was a single man? No, sir! I couldn't stand the pressure. But you see it gives a fellow lots of extra sand when he feel3 that those he loves are dependin' on his doing his duty. But my work is nothing to that of my mate over there on the main cable. Fall off? Not if grippin' tight '11 savo him. He's in the samo boat with me got a big family to support and he's goin' to hang on to that cable and tend to his busi ness manfullike if things'do get black bo fore his eyes now an' then. But I must hurry along. Good day, sir." Something of tho hero, is ho not, this brawny workman with point splfiahod clothes, who recognizes peril' yet faces it undauntadly that those he cares for may not lack the needs of existence? I strolled onward and soon caught a good view of "my mate." Liko the man with whom I had talked he seemed a person in spired by stern determination and with no wish to calculate chancea. Tharo ho sa5 astride one of the outer cables nearly S00 feet above the water. Over his head ran a couple of small ropes which he occasion ally gripped to steady himself. But his eyes never glanced to left or right. They "WORKING ON THE MAIN CABLE. were fixed on tho work before him, and tbe only intermission to the steady slap, slap of the brush came when ho needed both hands with which to push himself along the huge tube which he was en veloping in a coat of white. Others were engaged in tho same occupation, but with tbo two I have mentioned I felt a personal acquaintance, because I had talked with one and knew something about the other. And when the labor is done, and Brooklyn bridge, safe, sound and clean i a its garb of white, invites with renewed confidence the feet of hurrying thousands, it will bo a pleasure to know that tho vigilance that gurrds its structural integrity springs not from base motives but from one of tha highest forms of honorable aspiration the willingness of' the unknown toilers to-dare any danger that they may safeguard and provide for tho helpless dependents who but for them might suffer hunger and be without a home.
