The larger half of the English peo-
pie, including under that term all ma
tons in which the English is the pre-
ponderating element and using the
English language, is now to be found
or will very soon be found in the United
States. 1t appears possible also that
before long the center of wealth may
be there also. This fact seems to be
fully realized by thinking Englishmen
who have been for years visiting this
continent in continuous succession, APP
parently to study the future seat of
Anglo-Saxondom. Men of this class

THE SINEws OF WAR.-The following
circular has been issued from the head
quarters of the republican national commit
tee in New York:
Dear Sir: The pending Presidential cam
paign is of unusual importance to the
country. Every republican is deeply in
terested in its result. The national COM
mittee, on behalf of the republican party,
desires to make it justly vigorous and effec-
tive and success certain in November.
Funds are required, however, to meet the
lawful and proper expenses of the campaign,
and to provide the same the committee
fluids itself de pendent upon the liberality of
republicans TO make such voluntary con-
tributions as their means will permit and
as they feel inclined to give.
You are therefore respectfully invited to send,
as soon as yon conveniently may, by draft on New
York or postal money order, to the order of B. +.
Jones' chairman republican national committee,
242 Fifth avenue, New York city, such sums as
YOU may desire te contribute for the object be-
fore mentioned receipt for the same will be
sent by return mail.
The committee cheerfully calls the attention OF
every person holding any office, place, or employ
ment under the United States or any of the de-
partments Of tho government to the provisions
of the act of Congress entitled IAN act to regulate
and improve the civil service Of the United
States" approved January 49, 1888. and states
that its influence will be exerted in conformity
Herewith Respectfully
F. JONES, Chairman.

SUBSTITUTE FOR MATcHEs.-Countle:

SUBSTITUTE FOR MATCHEs.-Countless
accidents, as everyone knows, arise from
the use of matches. To obtain light with
out employing them, and so without the
danger of setting things on fire, an ingeni-
Gus contrivance is now used by the watch
men of Paris in all the magazines where
explosives orinhammable materials are kept.
Any one may easily make trial of it.
Take an oblong vial of the whitest and
clearest glass and put into it a piece of
phosphorus about the size of a pea. Pour
some olive oil heated to the boiling point
upon the phosphorus; fill the vial about
one-third full and then cork it tightly. To
use this novel light remove the cork, allow
the air to enter the vial and then recork it.
The empty space in the vial will become
luminous, and the light obtained will be
equal to that of g lamp. When the light
grows dim its power can be increased by
taking out the cork and allowing fresh
supply of air to enter the vial. In winter it
is sometimes necessary to heat the vial be-
tween the hands in order to increase the
fuidity of the oil. The apparatus thus
made may be used for six months.

A MODERN MAzEPPA.-Mr. Boussaud is
a wealthy cattle-owner, whose herds range
in the unorganized territory ofnorthwcstern
Nebraska.
When Mr.. Roussaud reached his ranch,
about the middle of June, he found his COW
boys nursing young man whom they had
rescued from the back of broncho. When
discovered the modern Mazeppa was dashed
to the horse, entirely naked and uncon-
scious. The animal was about broken down
as if from long running, and was easily 'as
seed by the boys, who cut the thongs
and released the strange captive.
When able to talk he said his name was
Henry Burbank, that he was an Englishman
and thrty-four years Of age. About three
years ago at Falmouth, England, he formed
partnership with friend named Thomas
Wilson, some y ears his senior, and with him
came to America to embark in the cattle
business. They finally settled in north
western Nebraska. They built q comfort
able ranch on q little stream, where Will
sons young wife reigned as housekeeper,
attended by two or three female domestics
Burbank was handsome young gallant,
and while Wilson was absent riding about
the range found it agreeable to make love
to the latter's wife. This ent on for some
months, until in the latter part of May one
of the cowboys surprised him and Mrs.
Wilson in compromising situation and in.
formed the woman's husband. That night
Burbank was captured while asleep in bed
by Wilson and three of his men, and bound
before he had a chance to resist. Wilson
had him stripped of every bit of clothing
and bound on the back of a wild broncho,
which was started off by vigorous lashing.
Before morning Burbank became uncon-
scious, and is therefore unable to tell any
thing about his terrible trip. He thinks
that the outrage was committed on the
night of May 81, and he was rescued on the
morning of June 3, which would make
seven days that he had been travelling
about the plains on the horses back with
out food or drink and exposed to the sun
and wind When fully restored to health
Burbank proposes to make visit of retalia-
ton on Wilson and will be backed by Bous-
saud's men and also a squad from the Ogal-
lala land and cattle company.

THE MERE fact that democratic Senators
and Representatives can be members of the
national democratic committee, while re-.
publican Senators and Representatives can
not be members of the national republican
committee, is sermon in itself against the
prolongation of republican rule and in favor
Of the installation of a party pledged to
civil service reform. Republican Congress
men can not be members of their national
committee, because, as they will make and
disburse political assessments collected from
federal Office holders, they would render
themselves liable to fine and imprison-
ment under the civil service law. Demo
cratic Congressman can be members of their
national committee, because, as they will
neither make, collect, nor disburse any such
assessments, they will not render themselves
amenable to that law. The resignation of
the congressional members Of the national
republican committee shows that that COM
mittee intends to make political assessments
for the purpose of buying votes at the cleo
ton. The committee has already issued its
assessment circular to Office holders.

John May, who murdered his daughter and killed
himself last Saturday at Conshohocken, Pa, was
buried in Potters Field. Early yesterday morn
ing boy in passing the graveyard noticed that
grave had been opened, and crawling through
the fence, he peeped into the empty grave. Ter
riff at what he saw, he told his father and soon
a crowd had collected about the empty tomb The
body Of May had been wrapped in white sheet
and buried in plain pine box. The lid of the
box consisted of strips about six inches wide
nailed on crosswse. Several of these strips were
forced of by the ghouls and the body dragged out
and laid at the head of the grave. There the
knife was used, and the body was pruned down
until nothing remained but the bare trunk, limbs
and hesd. The bowels, liver, lungs, and heart
were torn or cut out and thrown back into the
box.
