A Pacific Cable

The project ~oflaying cable from the
California coast to Japan by way Of the
Hawaiian islands has reached the point
where subscriptions to the stock are in
vited, and Cyrus w. Field has put his
name down for 100000. 1t is expected
that the Hawaiian Government will sub
scribe 81 100000, and the remainder of
the requisite capital will be raised in
London. Paris, New York and San Fran
cisco. The scheme is in strong hands,
and the fact that there is an immense
amount of capital in the world that can't
find profitable employment in other
enterprises is in its favor; so there Gems
to be no reason why it should not be a
success.

A FATAL 0 r DISEASE!
Several Valuable Horses in Rochester
and Vicinity Taken off with it Sud-
deniy.-ls it an Epidemic!
Rochester Democrat.

An unknown and fatal disease has
made It's appearance among the horses
owned in Rochester and vicinity. In
several instances within the past few
days horses have been attacked with it
and death resulted within a very few
hours. Owners of valuable horses are
already becoming considerably alarmed
at the nature and consequences of the
disease, Veterinary surgeons express
themselves rs being wholly at q loss
how to treat 1t, as nothing similar in
symptoms or results has heretofore
come within their practice. In short,
some half-dozen valuable horses have
died from the disease in or near Roch-
ester within the past two or three
days. w, II, Bowman, the w%el-known
lawyer of this city, lost one of his team
two or three days since, and the follow
ing day n valuable horse belonging to |.
n. Wright, liveryman, died Of what APP
peared to be the same disease. Ex-al-
derman John w. Martin was the nsxt
to suffer the loss of n of his team, and
then, ON Tuesday. a fine horse belong
ing to l.. 7. Ross, the well-known shoe
manufacturer, died in like manner.
All the cases named occurred within
the city. Besides them we have one
case reported from the country. On
Tuesday John IL. Howell, n well-to-do
farmer residing about two miles from
Fairport, lost n good farmhouse, which
had been attacked with precisely the
same SYMPTOMS noted in other cases.
The animal was taken sick about 10
a. m. with what appeared then to be
collie. AT noon he ate rs usual, and
very soon atterward he was observed
TO be perspiring in an inexplicable de-
gree. Mr.. Howell started off to sum
mon a veterinary surgeon, and before
ne had been gone an hour the horse
died. This is almost an exact repeti-
ton of the case with Mr.. Ross horse,
excepting in the fact that he succeeded
in getting a veterinarian, though the
remedies administered by the latter
proved Of no avail, Notwithstanding they
were lust such as are ordinarily pre-
scribed with success when the primary
symptoms are similar TO those noted.
1t is not strange, in view of all these
facts, that horsemen are becoming
frightened.

Curious Calculations.

The vast number OF inhabitants who
now live, and have lived, upon the face
of the earth, appears at first sight to
defy the powers of calculation. But if
we suppose the world to have existed
5000 years; that there now exist M
thousand million people; that "a genera
ton passes away in thirty years; that
every past generation averages the pres
ent; and that four individuals may
stand on m square yard, we find that
the whole number will not occupy a
compass SO great as one fourth the ex-
tent Of England. Allowing 5000 years
since the creation, and a generation to
pass away in 30 years, we shall have
200 generations, which, atone thousand
million each, will be two hundred
thousand million; this being divided by
A, persons to a square yard will give
fifty thousand million square yards;
there are in a square mile 3,097,6oO
square yards, by which if the former
sum be divided, it will give 16,141
square. miles, the root of which, in
whole numbers. is 127; so that ~
square miles will be found sufficient TO
contain the immense and almost in
conceivable number Of two hundred
thousand million human beings, which
vast number rather outnumbers the
seconds Of time that nave passed since
the creation.

Alaska.

AS this is the latest Of our territorial
acquisitions, SO is it the least known.
Indeed, the interior regions of the
try, away from the Yukon river, are IA
little known as Africa itself. The word
Al-ak-shak means "the great land and
correctly describes the country. 1t is
grea; territorially. From its eastern
boundary to the island Of Alton, the
extreme western limit, is 1900 miles in
an air line. According to Prof. Guyot,
this island is as far west of San Francis
co as Maine is east. Consequently, be-
tween the extreme east and west Of the
United States, San Francisco is the mid
die city.
The coast lines Of Alaska, following
up and down the bays and inlets, are
about 5000 miles, or once around the
globe. It's total area is about as large
as all the United States that lies east Of
the Mississippi river and north Of the
Carolinas and Alabama. It's great riv-
er, the Yukon, is over 1000 miles long,
and navigable for steamers from 1900
to $500 miles. With a varying width
from one to five miles along its course,
it is 70 miles across the delta Of its five
mouths.
Alaska has the greatest mountain
peak on the continent. Mount st. Eli
as, 1880 feet high. 1t is the great is
land region Of the United States, con-
tanning an aggregate ares OF over 81
900 square miles, equal to the size of
some Of your important states. IL con-
tains sixty-four volcanoes, ten of which
send forth Gre and melted rock. The
seal fisheries make it u valuable posses
sion; then the fnrs Of the fox, martin,
mink, beaver, otter and other animals
make it worth having. Its fisheries
alone are worth all it cost. The cod,
salmon, halibut and herring being there
in in|exhaustjble quantities. Its mine
raj will some day attract a
large population, and prove to the
world that Alaska was no barren pur-
chase.
The great surprise in connection with
Alaska is the mild winter climate OF
the northern Pacific coast. The great
Japan current OF the Pacific that gives
Oregon and California their delightful
winter climate first strikes the shores Of
our North American continent at the
western end of the Aleutin islands, and
imparts its greater heat to the Alaska
coast. Consequently, while in a north
ern latitude, it yet has a warmer climate
than New York city.

The Beauty Of Neatness.

A woman may be handsome, or re-
markably actl We in various ways; but
if she is not personally neat, she can
not hope to win admiration. Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern. A
young IN with her hair always in
disorder, and her clothes hanging about
her as if suspended from a prop, is al
rays repulsive. Slattern is written
upon her person from the crown OF her
head to the soles of her feet, and if she
wins n husband he turns out, in all
probability, either to be an idle fool or a
drunken rufiian. The bringing up OF
daughters to be able to work, talk, and
act like honest. sensible young women.
is the special task Of all mothers, and
in the industrial ranks there is imposed
also the prime obligations of learning
to respect household work for It's own
sake, AID the comfort Of happiness II
will brin~ in the future. Housework
is drudgery; but it must be done by
somebody, and had better be well thar
i'll done.

Cork, Ireland, Oct. 5.-Fifteen thou
sand people were at the land meeting

parliament for the county, and one Of
the home-ruler leaders, extolled the
Gladstone land act. He declared that
those who worked the soil should own
it, and that the landlords should be
fairly bought out. Parnell, home
rule member for Meath, declared that
the tenants required no acts of parlia-
ment. They should rely on passive
physical resistance to unjust demands.
So long as Englishmen governed Ire
land they would resort to robbery and
oppression. Col. Colthurt, Sir Joseph
McKenna, Patrick ]. Smythe and other
home-rule members, also made speeches.

Why II Was SO SmalI-The Ute Chiefs
Playing Double.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-The Times has full
correspondence touching the expedition
Of Maj. Thornburgh. Assistant Adju-
tant General Williams, at Fort Omaha,
has compiled 1t for the purpose Of
answering adverse newspaper criti-
cisms. 1t shows that Thornburgh was
selected as the man most fit for the
task, by orders of the general of the
army. 1t calls attention to the fact
shown by the correspondence that
Agent Meeker and the governor Of
Colorado considered one hundred men
sufficient to enforce order among the
Indians; also that Thornburgh himself
regarded the three companies of cav
airy and the one of infantry lin all 200
men) which he took, amply sufficient
for the expedition. Thornburgh was
cautioned by telegram sent after he
was well on his way to advance with
prudence, and il he had reason to be-
lieve his force insufficient to commu-
nicate with headquarters and call for.
uloic, WuiSn hC Wouiu icceiSc. dc
was advised that the matter was left
entirely to his discretion. On Sept. 26,
Thornburgh sent this, his last tele-
gram, from camp OIL Bear creek, Colo
RADIO: ''Have met some of the Ute
chiefs here. They seem friendly, and
promise to go with me to the agency.
They say the Utes don't understand
why we come here. Have tried to ex-
plain satisfactorily. Do not now an
ticipate trouble.'' The conclusion is
that Thornburg, one of the most pru-
dent and discreet Of officers, was
thrown off his guard by the savages.
and that blame cannot be imputed to
him or the department.

Accidentally Killed Himself.

Last night, at $3.50 O'Clock, Richard
CAN'T took his last look of earth. His
death was accidental; he guided the re-
volver that sent the fatal lead into his
heart.
The deceased was very intelligent
and highly respected. We are inform
ed that he graduated at Princeton col
lege. His native state was Maryland,
his birthplace near Baltimore. His
wife, an estimable lady, lives at Hot
Springs, Arkansas.
The deceased intended to go east this
morning.
John Sherman, friend of the de-
ceased, invited him to take ride and
the invitation was accepted. Return
ing from the ride, they went to Sher-
mans room, 1863 Arapahoe street.
CAN'T picked up revolver and said:
''I'm going away tomorrow, and l
want that pop"
"All right" said Sherman, 'Just
take it along"
ncu dhutb CAdBihCd tuO ACNOiNNi.
In some way it touched Sherman's
sleeve and the cock went down ON the
cartridge. The deceased fell on the
floor. Sherman lifted him ON the bed and
called for aid. The landlady and a
special policeman answered the call.
Sherman, naturally excited, said,
"Dick, be quick; tell how it happened"
He answered, II did it; it was an acei-
dent.n
The deceased died inside of ten min
utes after the accidental shot was
fired.
The deceased and Sherman were very
intimate friends. Their friendship
was SO warm and earnest that any sus-
picion of foul play is untenable.
Last night an inquest was held. The
verdict rendered was accidental
death. .n-Dsnrer Republican.
