burn n Henson Carriage Factory.
Mrs. Joseph Dusham Of Benson is in jail
under $1,000 bonds for an incendiary attempt
en- the carriage factory Of Strong Bros. at
Benson. 1t appears that the factory was set
on fire on the night of June 2Sth. About 12
a. m. William Kellogg, a young man, who
was passing the mandatory, discovered the
fire, which had evidently just been started.
He succeeded with few pals of water in
quenching 1t and subsequently, found an old
vest where the flames were frs,
seen. Upon examination the gar
ment was found to be full of chips,
shavings, etc., which with the vest were
saturated with kerosene. An old cap was
found near the fire, but 1t had not undergone
the oiling process. Mrs. Dusham told dc.
tcctive that on the night of the fire female
tramp had been seen in the community and
had applied at several residences for lodg.
ing, that OF Mrs. Gibbs being one. She
was not allowed to stay all night, and after
her departure Mrs. Gibbs remarked to hel
daughter that from the Migrants voice and
manner she believed that she was none othel
than Mrs. Dusham, and upon the detectives
| visit to her house Mrs. Gibbs informed him
of her suspicion. Mrs. Dusham had quar-

who was employed by Strong
Brother, ard had undertaken Il
have him discharged, but failing, became

toward Strong & Bro. A strong case wa
worked up against Mrs. Dusham, and finally

POPE LEO AT HOME.
Everyday Life of the Holy Fathcr-A
Reception to Irish Pilgrims.

The CapitaA Fracassa, of Rome, pub
fishes conversation which one of its CORE
spondents had with the Rev. Phillip Barry,
canon OF the Cashe Cathedral. The canon
is said to have spoken as follows "Leo
Mi. is now "a years of age. lie is tall,
thin and bony. His face is of an ivory tint,
and his eyes and lips are very expressive
and smiling. lie locks very firm. Simeoni
says he resembles Voltaire, but Leo Nil. S
smile is totally different to Votaire's smile
The Pope wears his age well and walks re-
markedly straight. lie has snow white hair
and very finely marked eyebrows. His eyes
are wonderfully intelligent looking and his
voice is extremely harmonious. lie speaks
several languages as well as any professor OF
languages. lie never says foolish thing nor
does foolish. thing like poor Plus TX, whose
policy was fatal to the Pope's temporal pow
er. He rises very early and spends the
first hours OF the day in prayer, and general
ly IN his bedroom. At six O'Clock he says
mass. At eight O'Clock he breaks his fast
with cup of chocolate, reading his cores
pondence all the time. AT nine O'Clock lie
receives Jacobni and those chiefs of religious
societies who may demand audience. AT
noon he receives those Roman patrlarchs who
have renamed true to him and the ambassa-
doris. AT one o'clock he dimes, his dinner
rarely costing more than two francs or half
dollar" "And he keeps so many cooks ~
said the correspondent. ale is obliged to
keep up appearances" answered the canon.
''Once upon time Popes were great caters
and drinkers and were given TO every kind of
extravaganza, but Leo XIII. is nothing OF
all this.
"Aftcr dinner he takes little walk in the
Vatican grounds, or he visits the museums
and galleries. Sometimes he is carried in a
chair quilted with white satin. lie is very
fond Of the garden. He frequently receives
vieitors in the garden aud talks Of flowers to
them to avoid other subjects. The first and
second time saw him was in the garden.
When went with the pilgrims he was pre-
coded by three noble guards, and at his side

The Fathers Testimony.

The testimony of Theron Goodwin, the
father of the child which was murdered at
Lake Bomoseen, last week, is decidedly op.
posed to the supposition that the decd was
committed by the mother. Mr. Goodwin
says it was discovered at dayligh, that the
wood shed door had been burst opcr, and
that his wife was standing inside the house
with her face close to the window pane
watching for his coming to the house, whcr
the first shot was fired at her from the in.
side. He was out on the lake fishing at the
time. He says the revolver found in hi;
house with some of the chambers empty was
closely inspected by parties spresen, the in
spection showing that the weapsn could no,
have been recently used, the empty CHAM
hers being rusty and dusty. The father says
he has no suspicion wh) committed the
deed, and that lie has not been, aud will moi
be, permitted to speak TO his wife in private.
The latest report from the mother is thai
she now says one Of her husbands relative:
committed the deed, and that she had re.
ceved some indefinite warnings from hei
father-in-law. The case is only involved il
deeper mystery.

THE COLLAR NINE.

A Big Bonanza for Citizens of st. Paul.
There has not been any great noise
made about the matter but it is known to
considerable number that company
of citizens of st. Paul have ''struck
it rich" in the Maginnis mining district in
Montana. The mine which they own
is designated as the Collar mine,
with Gen. Mead, formerly general manager
of the Northern Pacific, as manager, and
S. S. Eaton as secretary. The Mineral
Argus, published at Maginnis, Montana,
contain the following account of the latest
streak of luck at the Collar mine:
The camp and mining district has been
considerably exercised, this week, over the
large number of rich developments in the
various mines. The Collar, for some time
past, has been running drift eastward
from the tunnel, and although following a
vein nearly all the distance, some ninety
feet, nothing out of the ordinary run OF
ore was found until few days ago, when
vein of quartz was reached that is the
richest in silver ever seen in Montana
The width is as yet undetermined, having
cut into it nine feet without any sign OF
reaching the farther wall. The Collar

AoADEmY OF SCIENCE LECTURES:
Brilliant Display of the Unrivalled Ligh
at Market Hall.

| Brilliant Display of the Unrivalled Light
at Market Hall.
Prof. Rowland continued his fine dem
onstrations in physics to increased mum
bers last evening. Light was defined to
| be that form of force which excites ssthe
sensation of vision. It's convertibility into
mechanical force is we'll understood. In.
tense vibrations of the ether, as proved by
| nice expert ments, ultimate in this form OF
force. All bodies emit light. Its quality
depends u pom their constitution. We are
| enabled to analyzs light by means of nice
| ly adjusted instruments.
The polariscope and spectroscops were
then explained. By the aid of these, with
the electric light, a series of the most
beautiful views were projected upon the
screen.
The light of all burning bodies when
passed through prism making spec
trum shows bands of various colors.
These bodies are different in each sub.
stance. By means of the electric light the
spectra of sodium, barium, zinc and other
substances were thrown on the screen,
making one of the most beautiful exhibit
tions in spectral analysis. This was &C.
complished by an instrument called the
spectroscoPe. The lower or positive pole
of the electric lamp was formed into cup
in which these substances were placed.
Then the upper or negative carbon was
brought down in contact with it. When
separated the substances were vaporized
by the heat of the electric arc and
the vapor burned. The light of these
burning metals was passed through two
prisms of bisulphide of carbon and the
spectrum and bands were thrown upon the
scum. The study of burning substances
in this manner is called spectral analysis.
1t was explained that when light was re-
Elected from substances at certain angles
or passed through certain bodies it had
properties very different from ordinary
light. When substances like unannealed
glass and different thicknesses of crystal
lied Gypsum or selemte quartz mica were
exposed to this light they showed the most
beautiful colors, figures and crosses. To
exhibit this phenomena the light was
passed through large prism of Iceland
spar. The light was then polonzed,
showing the most beautiful colors.
Various objects were placed IN this light
when they appeared of different colors as
the enalyzer was resolved. It is impossi-
BILE to conceive anything more perfect and
| beautiful than this experiment.
Fine views were then shown of the seen
cry along the shore of the Potomac
near Mt. Vernon, and colored photographs
| of exquisite perfection.
The exhibition of the carbon points,
| displaying the most wonderful electric
phenomenon. This splendid connec-
tioniard prismactic hues closed the even
| ing's entertainment.
The next lectures will be given by Prof.
E. Daniels. The subject will be geology.
The splendid instruments seen during the
last two evenings will be used by Prof.
Rowland to throw out the finest series of
geolofical views ever collected. The sub
ject will be tretaed in a familiar and pop
Mar style.
