Another Sayings.Bond BILL

Senator Gordon of Georgia, has in
t-oduced in Congress bill to promote
the deposit of savings and the refunding
of the national debt. It provides for
the issue of new series of United States
coupon bonds, in denominations of 800.
$50, 500, $500, and $1,000, bearing 8
per cent. interest, payable semi annual
~, the bonds being payable at the op-
ton of the United States, either at the
end OF twenty years or may then be re-
newed for further twenty years. Pay
ment at either date is to be made in
coin of the then legal standard. In or
der to facilitate the exchange on de-
mand of these bonds the $40, 900, 900 of
treasury notes made a special fund by
the joint resolution of the first session
of the Forty-fourth Congress are to be
replaced by a like amount of the new
issue and made special fund to secure
the prompt exchange of these bonds, to
which fund shall be added a further
Sic, 900, 600. This amount, $25, 900, 600,
is to be the maximum to be withheld
from circulation so long as there are
bonds payable or subject to call bearing
a higher rate of interest than per cent.
per annum The bonds herein directed
to be issued shall state upon their face
that they are payable upon demand with
secured interest in any legal paper
money issued directly by the United
States treasury. The Secretary OF the
Treasury is required to cease the fur
ther reduction of treasury notes below
the sum of $3.50, 900, 900, and, to replace
old, worn notes, he shall issue a new Sc
ries of notes bearing simply the legend
that they are fundable into the bonds
herein authorized at the option of the
holder, and receivable for all public and
private dues.

An Awful Death.

John Willenbacher, employed in a
sugar refinery in Brooklyn, recently
stamped on the surface of a comeback
vat through which sugar is refined and
which continually sinks through conf
cal bottom over q retort, the fires of
which keep the mass at heat of $50 de-
grees. He sank into the hot black mass.
AS he tried to lift his feet to get out, he
probably found himself drawn down by
the suction OF the moving mass, which
was kept up at heat of 1S0degrees. His
struggles probably only added to the
downward motion, and, as a fireman en-
tered to rake his fire, Willenbacher's
terrible plight became known. He HAD
then sunk to his throat Men ran from
every part of the refinery, and the en-
deavor to rescue Willenbacher was
earnestly begun. Nothing could stop
the ceaseless suction of the boneblack.
because the hole at the bottom of the
vat opened into retort filed with fierce
flames. Even the few seconds that we're
spared to the consideration of this gave
confirmation to Willenbacher's doom.
for he sank until the lower part of his
face was hidden. His comrades shouted
cheering words to him, and threw pianks
across the surface of the boueblack, the
bravest venturing out upon them. They
scattered the boneblack from about
Willenbacher's shoulders, and, grasping
him, tugged to pull him out, bat they
could not stir him. He seemed to be
unconscious from suffocation. A block
was hastily rugged upon beam above
the vat, and eager men grasped the
tackle in their strong hands and pulled
well together, but they did not move
Wlllenbacher. The digging about the
sinking man was resumed, and the bone
black was cleared away down to his
thighs. Then those who hauled with
all their strength upon the tackle raised
Willenbacher from the boneblack. Kind
hands laid him limp and unconscious
upon the planks. He was breathing
family, and a comrade ran to summon a
physician, but, while his feet still sound
ed on the stairway, Willenbacher died.

The Rest Came Tumblins After.

At Port Kent, the other day, one of
Che children of Horatio Burroughs broke
through the ice. An older brother at
tempted the rescue, aud he also broke
in. The cries of the children brought
the mother to the scene, and she also
was precipitated through the ice. An
aunt living in the family went to the as
slstance of the three struggling unfort-
unates, and, In attempting to assist the
mother In her preC icament was pulled
into the water The cries of the four
people brought the father to the scene.
and, IN his excited state, he neglected
taking the proper precautions, and was
soon fioundering ID the water with the
rest. About this time further assistance
arrived, and, by means of ropes aud
planks, the entire family were rescu I'd
from their perilous situation. -Burling-

Refused to BE An Official Thief.

An almost incredible story is related
of Marshal Canrobert, who was sent to
Rome to represent France at the funeral
OF Victor Emmanuel and the accession to
the throne of Humbert. For the ex-
penses of himself and suite he was given
80, 700 francs, of which he spent only
$1,000. On his return home be went
to the Foreign Office and handed to the
Minister of that department the bal
ance, amounting to II, 600 francs. The
Minister refused to take the money, say
ing that there was no precedent for such
a thing; that the outlay was made and
accounted for, and that there was an end
to it The Marshal answered that if it
was absolutely necessary that somebody
should steal this money he would
rather some else would do it, and asked
for receipt. Such is the story, and, as
Canrobert was born in 1909, before de-
frauding the public was considered no
robbery, it is possible it may be true.

Europe and the Mississippi Valley.

The consumption of corn in Europe
Is now large, but will be presently enor-
nous when the means of carriage are
supplied, for from the center of the great
valley OF the Mississippi to London.
Bristol, Liverpool, and to the ports OF
the Continent the transport may be by
water. Maize cannot afford costly trans
port, but it will pay all concerned when
che advantages offered by the water svs-
tenn of the valley are turned to the best
account. The London General Omnibus
Company feed their thousands of horses
almost entirely on corn meal, for a tired
horse thus gets his food in a substantial
form, easy to digest, and not requiring.
as with hay, for the horse to be long on
his legs before he can eat sufficient
quantity. 1t is the best means of fatten-
ing animals. The question was how to
get it to market with profitable margin.
The opening of the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi, through the ietties formed by
Eads, solved the problem, and now are
to be seen the disjointed efforts of those
who seek first to take advantage of the
change. In one place the antiuuated
means of carriage placed difficulty in
the way; IN another, the tonnage is not
forthcoming, while ships lie idle in Eu-
ropean ports that would be glad of a full
cargo at reasonable rate. But these
obstacles will soon be smoothed away as
capitalists become assured of the fact
that great and permanent supply can
be relied upon with certainty in :. word,

upon which to ground their operations;
for, that basis being given, numerous
subsidiary articles will also find their
way. 1t may be added, the belief along
the river is, the great house of Barings
have taken up the subject, and that to
their operations much of the activity is
due.-Anglo-A american Times.

The bill is causing good deal of ex-
c1tement among railroad men, and will
attract pretty wide attention, since it
touches very large number of interests.
Some OF the lands enumerated are worth
less others are supposed to be very
valuable. According to the public rec
ords the lands are all forfeited, and only
this formal act is needed to restore them
to the Government; but there is sup
position that in some cases the works
have been completed as provided for,
and the lands have not been called for,
because the moment they come into
possession of the corporations they are
subject to taxation, which is escaped by
allowing them to remain as public lands.
1t such is the fact, the bill above noted
will lead the roads to come forward with
their claims and show their real condi-
ton. 1t will be noticed that Texas Pa
c1hc and Northern Pacific lands are in
the list, which is said to cover ell tech
nical forfeitures to date.

Massachusetts Liquor Law.

The Liquor law of Massachusetts
makes no discrimination between malt
and mere alcoholic beverages. The
brewers ask the Legislature to favor ale
and beer, and argue at length in their
petition that such policy would really
help the cause of temperance. The gist
of their reasoning is as follows Lager
beer and ale usually contain only 4 per
cent. OF alcohol, combined with over 6
per cent. of nourishiEg malt extract, and
are very rarely adulterated Malt bev-
erages, unless used in enormous auanti-
ties, are beneficial to the drinkers. The
love of stimulants is too strong among
the people to BE overcome by force, and
it Is better to encourage the substitution

A State Dinner at the White House.

Those who are entertained at the state
dinners are members of the Cabinet,
Judges OF the Supreme Court, Senators
and Representatives and the foreign
Ministers. The wives of all who are
married are asked when the husbands
are ; these dinners are never "stag
parties" When a foreigner of high
rank, who may be regarded in any sense
as representing foreign nation or SOW
ereign, visits Washington, he is usually
dined in state at the White House.
1t is etiquette not to decline an invita-
ton to one of these feasts for any reason
of less magnitude than death in the
family or severe illness. Previous en-
gagements, however important, must be
Cancelled when an invitation to dine with
the President is received. Once during
the last season a member of Congress
and his wife, who gave very elegant din
ners, invited most of the foreign Minis
tiers and l*ir wives to dine with them
on certain day. All accepted, and the
dinner was IN process of preparation,
when 10 President Grant, who had been
delaying his annual diplomatic dinner,
thinking the Grand Duke Alexis would
come, found out that that Russian scion
of an Emperor persisted in remembering
before and did not intend to accept his
hospitality, and issued invitations to the
diplomats to dine with him. Etiquette
compelled them to accept. SO all had to
excuse themselves from their first en-
gagement and the M. G.. and his wife
were compelled to ask other guests.
But all is for the best. With the Repre-
sentative and his family the one dinner
served as a substantial compliment to
two sets OF guests-those who ate it and
those who had the honor of declining to
do SO.
But dining in state is not an unmiti-
gated pleasure by any means. The din
ners begin at 7 p. M, and are protrac.ed
until 10 O'Clock or after. Then again
there is no elbow-room the guests are
so crowded around the mahogany that it
Is difficult tor those on the same side Of
the table to lift their arms at the same
moment to carry food to their mouths.
Hence 1t is sometimes the case that
couples seated next each other agree
that each shall partake of the courses
by turns, one eating while the other
keeps the arms down, and Uice versa.-
