A Singular Circumstance.
Peoria Review


When the remains OF the late Ettie
Florence Baker were about to be laid
in the tomb, her friends we're desir-
Gus OF finding some favorite express
sion OF hers that they might enerave
on the casket. On looking over her
school books they found in her gram
mar the date OF her death, Jan. 9th.
1879, written in more than twenty
places. Occasionally there would be
q sentence following it. In several
places it was January 27, 1879. The
dream is DER" In other places 1t is
January 81, 1879, life Is past" This.
as is well known, was the date Of her
death. but why this date should be
impressed upon her mind years be-
fore. when she was a mere school
girl. is a mystery past solution. No
other date was thus written down,
but this was repeated over and over
again. At the funeral it will be re-
membered the Rev. Gardner related

ber OF witnesses. Miss Baker was at

her hand the precise spot where hel

it as nervous weakness, and said
nothing about it: but when she died
they recalled her mysterious words
She never had told any one about

and will carry down bone easily

swallowed, the white of one or two

The railway running into the city
OF Chicago, in the year 1873 brought
into that city 6.0S6. .636 gallons OF
milk. The heaviest shipments were
from points on the line of the Chicago
and Northwestern road. The Chicago
Journal says that twenty years ago
the transportion OF milk TO Chicago
formed an important item in the an
nual statement OF earnings of one
reilroad line, but to-day the same
company regards the item as one Of
the most important in its traffic.

A terrific explosion occurred at 2:30
O'Clock Saturday at the head OF Stock
ton slough, on FL Dorado street Stock
ton, California. A crowd OF more
than two hundred people had assem-
bled to witness a trial OF the new pro-
pelIer pump run by q threshing en-
gine. The body OF the engine was
blown . distance OF $50 feet through
the crowd. The dead lay PROSTATE
In every direction. some falling into
the slough from the bridge. Ten or
twelve decd bodies lay in one heap AZ
the northwest corner OF the bridge
Others lay stTewn dead AID dying,
blown from flfty to one hundred feet
away. The heads OF some were blown
to pieces. Others were blown to the
ground with such force as to break
every bone ia their bodies. Their
faces. hands and whole persons were
steamed In dirt, smoks and cinders.
The wounds were promptly cared for
and the dead left undisturbed until
the excitment had subsidized, when
they were removed to the coroner's
Office. The explosion was the result
OF recklessness on the part OF the en-
gineer. The steam gauge refused
to work. and after the engineer had
attempted to fix 1t aud failed he
screwed down the safety valve, saying
it could either work or @bust." and
went on with the work. and the ex-
plosion occurred about fifteen min
utes afterwards.

DIR. Newman's Expressions ON Receiving
Onlcial Notification of his Elevation
to the CaFdInalate.

LQNDoN, May 13.-Rev. DR.. John Henry
Newman, replying to q consistorial messen-
ger announcing his elevation to the cardina-
late, made long speech, the gist OF which
was that he would hereafter, as he had In the
past, resist with all his powers the spirit OF
liberalism In religion.
The doctrine that there is no positive truth
In religion, that one creed is as good as
another, is the teaching which is gaining SUBJ
stance and force daily, and is fneonsfstent
with the recognition OF any religious tone
While there is much In the theory that Is
noble In itself, 1t is evil because intended TO
supersede religion.
He said he was not afraid that 1t would seri-
ously iDjure the Church Of Christ, though It
would destroy many souls. Christianity, he
said, had been too often In seemingly bad
peril that we should fear for 1t any new trial
now.

New YORK, May 13.-The Sun says: Hayes

the Executive to enforce the laws at all

tempts to limit the power Of the Executive,
but, nevertheless, the issue remains as Con-
gress has presented it; that the presence Of
troops at the polls is not only contrary to the
spirit Of our institutions, but dangerous to
the liberty OF the people.
The Herald says: "It is an abler State
paper that it's predecessor, both IN Its sustained
force OF argument and Its dexterous dealing
mannuvreing for the advantages OF position
with reference to the Presidential election.
No political party under our government has
ever found tt difficult to find or invent plaust-
bic constitutional reasons IN support of its
policy, any more than the multtudnous
