WASHINGTON Iowa., May 23.--A ter
rible tornado, accompanied hy hail ana
rain, passed over this county, abont six
miles north of Washington. yesterday
afternoon. 1t came from the southwest
and passed out of the county little
south of Yalton. The tornado was
about half mile wide, and tore into
fragments everything that came IN its
course. Burns. fences, trees, cattle and
human beings were caught up. Cattle

The Saratoga Hops.

If the afternoon at Saratoga says
letter, is the time for the discussion
of such exciting topics as C@sarism, the
evening after supper and up to the
witching hour is the time devoted to
the dance. 1t may be a full dress, mas
ouerade, or hop-it matters not-all
are well attended. Those who frequent
them do not always go there to
dance, either. Many a quiet in
nocent little Irritation may take
place while the Lancers are in progress,
or while walters are circling the ball
room in time to the strains of the music
of Straus. Not unfrequently do the
ladies provoke criticism and comment
by their toilets. OF course they may
expect it, and, in fact, they rather like
it. I have frequently known young
ladies to create a sensation In three
separate bathrooms on the same night.
It is not an unusual thing for one OF
these bellies, attended by her escort, to
indulge in gallop in one place, hurry
off with waltz in another and be IN
time for the lancers at the third. There
is no monotony in your Saratoga balls
or hops-life, excitement and new faces
all the time. The reign Of belle here
is brief indeed. Rivals arrive with
every train, and then it is so easy tC
steal away in search of new conquests
Ladies this season do not, as rule
dress as extravagantly as during formel
seasons. That gaudy shoddy displa.
which ever offends good taste and sug
gests vulgarity is not very noticeable
this year. There is some of it, however
but, thank fortune, it is the exception
not the rule. Silver ornaments seem t.
be superseding gold ones, for the tim'
being at least. Oxidized silver buckles
large enough for saddle girths, are al
the vogue in ladies' belts, and som
ladies fasten up their hair with dagger
formidable enough for Bowery Mac
beth. The number of gray or whit
heads one sees in ballroom now is as
tonishing. Ladies are proud of gra
hairs-young ones especially. On
lady was pointed out to me as comm
from New York for the sole purpose {
making an exhibition of her fine whit

Friction Matches.

The Springfield Union says that early
in 1886 the subject of friction matches
attracted the attention of Mr.. L.. q. AL
lin, now foreman of one of the depart
ments at the Armory, and then young
man employed there under his father,
who was foreman before him. At that
time phosphoric match imported from
France. had come into limited use in
the United States, but was cumber-
some affair compared with the matches
used nowadays. 1t was made by Dip
ping the match-stick first into sulphur,
and then into paste composed OF chlo-
ride of potash, red lead, and loaf-sugar.
Each box of matches was accompanied
by q bottle of sulphuric acid, into
which every match had to be dipped in
order to light it. To do away with this
bother, and make q match which would
light from the friction caused by any
rough surface, was the task to which
young Allin applied himself.
He succeeded, but took out no patent
He was urged to do so, and on inquiry
found that patent had just been ap-
piled for by one Alonzo d. Phillips, OF
Chicopee, for precisely the same inyen-
ton. Phillips was peddler, and prob
ably picked up through third party
the results of Mr.. Allin's study. Patents
of all kinds were considered of small
value, in those days, and the idea OF Mr..
Allin's legal adviser was that he (Allin)
would do better to have the right to
manufacture under Phillips's patent
(Which Phillips gave him without charge
in consideration of the waving OF his
-, Of
ligitation which was feared to be neces-
sary to establish his claim in the first
place, and to defend it from depreda-
tors afterward.
So the inventor of friction matches
became simply manufacturer under
another mans patent, and little facto-
ry was started, whence matches were
shipped to the principal cities of the
country while some where even sent tC
South America. But the inventor hao
to contend against q strange and sense
less prejudice in the public mind. A
newspaper in this town declared thai
the manufacture of friction matches
ought to be prohibited by Legislation
on account of the ease with which they
could be used by incendiaries, and the
consequent great danger to property.
Cautious citizens would not allow then
to be stored in their buildings the or
dinary means of transportation wer'
closed to them.
In 1887 the financial revulsion killet
the Springfield manufacture, but no
the manufacture elsewhere. At presen
there are no less than rs match factorie

ladies' boarding schools, sometime
facetiously classed under that head
which employ 1900 hands, use 81
600, ,OOOof capital, and turn out annual
S3, 600, 900 worth of matches.

Penal Seryitude for Life.

The trial of the Bank of England
forgers has ended. After George Bid
we'll had conducted his examination of
witnesses for the prosecution, he de-
livered an address to the Court, in
which he exonerated Austin Bidwell
and Edwin Noyes from all completely in
the frauds, and declared that he and
George MacDonnell were the only guilty
ones. MacDonnell also addressed the
Court, bearing out the statement of Bid
we'll. The case was then given to the
jury, who, after twenty minutes delib-
Grafton, found the accused guilty. Mr..
Justice Archibald Immediately sentenc,
ed each of the prisoners to penal servi-
tude for life, the highest punishment
under the laws for their offence,

The Art of Hanging.

As long as capital punishment is the
law of the land and hanging the mode
of accomplishing it, there is satisfaction
in the thought that men are to be found
who, regarding it as a scientific pro-
cess, or an art, if you will, are ready
with advice to make it perfect. An
English clergyman, Rev. S. Haughton,
who is also Fellow of Royal Society,
has been publishing work on the
" Principles of Animal Mechanics" in
which he does not disdain to devote
portion of the space to this subject.
He says that the method in use is un-
worthy of the present state OF science,
and the long drop, which causes in.
stantaneous death by the fracture OF
the vertebre, is recommended, the
length of the drop to be obtained by
the following rule !: Divide 2,24O by
the weight of the "patient" in pounds,
and the quotient will be the required
length in feet. This rule is simply
obtained by sunposing Gas was found
to be actually the case in one lnstance)
that 2, 240 foot-pounds of shock is suf-
ficient to cause fracture in any case,
no allowance being made for differences
of age, weight or sex; thus, by this
rule, the lighter the criminal or
"patient" the longer must be his drop,
and the longer the time of his agony in
the air. Besides an immense number
of measurements, of dissections and
experiments on the bodies of animals,
in order to obtain data for his calcula-
tions, DIR. Haughton has made expert
ments on the living subject, sometimes
of a somewhat amusing character. But
the above is the practical result at which
he has arrived, and we would suggest
that there is ample means in this coun
try for testing its value.

The Clowns Victim.

On Wednesday night, July 23, wo-
man by the name of Mrs. Lottie War
ner, committed suicide at Sierra City,
California, by taking poison. The his
tory of this case is sad one, and the
moral it points is not obscure. The de-
ceased was the wife of man by the
name of Warner, clown of the circus
which passed through there few weeks
ago. At Sierra City she was taken sick,
and was necessarily left behind. From
this sickness she had nearly recovered.
She appears, however, to have been tired
of the life she was leading, and the bad
treatment of the man she had forsaken
home and friends to follow. During
her stay at the city she told the fol-
lowing story When but sixteen years
old she forsook her home and friends in
Cincinnati CO., and was married to Will
liam Warner, the clown in the Paris
Circus, since which time she had fol-
lowed his fortunes. She states that at
times he had abused her, even going so
far as to knock her down. In her de-
lirious moments, duriAg her sickness,
she imagined that her husband was with
her, and begged and pleaded of him not
to beat her any more. During her con-
valesence she often expressed her de
termination never to live with him again,
and expressed her desire to find some
employment whereby she might earn
her own living. At the time she ran
away from her home, lured by the gaud
and tinsel, the spangle and glitter Of
circus trappings, she was mere child
of sixteen. Four years only have pas
sed, and now, still but child in years
she is ready for the grave-older in suf
fering, if her own statements be true
than many of her more favored sisters
whose locks are frosted by the hand O
time. She died at Bush's Hotel.

have been so very long, for there was
no sign of morning. ..s..r ~
He was getting weak and benumbed,
and he felt that he could not hold on
much longer. If the cold, sharp wind
would only cease blowing 1t chilled
him so. Once despair and suffering
got the better of his resolution, and he
thought he would close his eyes, slip off
the spar, and go quietly down to his
death but he dismissed the wicked
thought with prayer, and grasped
more firmly the saving piece of wood.
He cried aloud for help until he was
hoarse for he was a strong man, and
would not go unresistingly. to death
like frightened sheep. He had saved
Amos life and he would like to save
his own next, if that might be. But
no one heard his shouts. They were
lost in the roar of the ocean.
How tired and sleepy he felt The
end could not be far off. To his
memory there arose all the scenes and
incidents of his past life. From child
hood until now, back from the misty
past, came the departed days. Up
from their graves rose the long buried
dead, and he saw them face to face just
as plainly as when they talked with
him in the flesh. But foremost in his
thoughts was Denny. Denny would
never again climb upon his knee he
would never again take him sailing
down the bay, or out to the bar. Oh
how hard it was to leave his child love
But the time had come. For an instant,
with the clutch of death, he frantically
grasped the spar, and cried out, amid
the storm and tempest
go Father forgive me my sins, fo1
Christs sake, and bless them all !!
Then his nerveless hold relaxed its
grasp it fell away, and he slipped of
into the water.
Just as Amos reached his home, ano
his wife and children gathered around
him, Jim went down into the angry
ocean, there to remain until the grea
day when the sea shall give up its dead
"Greater love hath no man than this
that man lay down his life for hi'
| friend"

Power of Electricity.

Recent studies have done much to de-
termine what the action of electricity
really is in the excitation of muscular
irritability in dead bodies. The con-
tinuous current seems TO act on mus
cular fibre after the manner of heat.
If dead muscle be exposed to cold, the
current restores contraction for limit
ed period, but finally destroys it by in
ducing persistent contraction. If, on
the other hand, the dead muscle is left
at its normal temperature, the current
merely shortens the periods of irritabil-
ity by quickening contraction. Expert
ments lately made with the Leyden jal
demonstrate that with sufficient cur
rent, small animals and birds can be
made absolutely rigid for the moment
in the position in which they stand
and so suddenly is the work done, Sc
completely is the posture of life pre-
served, that nothing but actual exam
ination with the hand can impress oi
the mind the fact that the creature ha
with that sudden shock passed from tn
living.

"We fight with IDEAS" said Heine,
"and newspapers are our fortresses. "
There is probably no such force in the
world to-day as the press. In spread
ing freedom and disseminating knowl-
edge, in shattering shams and destroy
ing nonsense of various kinds, in search
ing out all kinds of truth, and then
daring to declare the same, it has been
achieving the capital victories of the
world for the last 25 years.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
tho hair where the f~ollicles are de-
Z stroyed, OF the glands atrophied and
dccayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keepit clean and Vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tiOn of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
dcleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inir-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it y rich, glossy
lUstre, and q grateful perfume.
