Hunting Hamilton.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 25.-Mrs.
Gov. Hamilton was seriously alarmed
Yesterday morning by the narrow es-
cape of herself and family from death
by pistol shot which cut a clean, sharp
hole through one of the windows of the
dining room in the executive mansion
and passed within few inches of a SER
want. As this was the second occur
renee of the sort at the mansion since
last winter, Mrs. Hamilton was con-
siderably worried and telephoned to
the governor at the state house. With
the assistance of the chief of police a
crowd of boys were found who had been
shooting at pigeons towards the man.
sion. The boys. however, denied the
charge. A few months ago bali passed
through one of the sitting-room win
dows of the mansion, just after Gov.
Hamilton had left the room, and mar
rowly missed member of the family.
It was considered at the time as a mys-
ferrous attempt at assassination. No
explanation of the source from whence
the bullet came was ever made and the
recurrence of so singular an event gave
rise to report that a second attempt
had been made to do away with the
governor.

Olives.

The finest plantations of olives are in
the Nablus district, but nearly every
village has its larger or smaller grove.
There is no doubt that the olive tree is
one Of the most valuable products of
the country, and that it could be made
still greater source of revenue than it
is at present. It requires but little at
tention, and lives and yields fruit even
when neglected. 1t only requires
grating and a little digging mp and
clearing out, and this done, it Yields a
plentiful crop in return fer the small
amount of pains bestowed upon it. The
fellaheen say that the vine is sitt-a
delicate town lady who requires great
deal of care and attention. The fig, ON
the contrary, is a fellaha "a strong
country woman who can flourish with
out such tender care; but the olive tree
is a bold bedawije, WHO, III spite Of
neglect and hardship, remains a strong
and useful Arab wife The olives ripen
toward tie end OF the summer: the
trees are then beaten with long sticks,
care Icing taken rot to destroy the
young leave, ana shoots. The fruit is
collected and sDr a I ont on the roofs
or somewhere, and then put into heaps
for little while in order that it may
slightly ferment; after which it is taken
to the oil press, where it is crushed
under a leavy IN llstone, and, packed
in little traw baskets, is finally
pressed.
The oil (zayt) runs into little ce-
mented cistern, from which it is drawn
in leathern bottles or large earthen-
ware jars for carrying away. The fell
lab uses it both for light and nourish-
ment. If he has nothing better, he is
content to eat some bread soaked in
oil. 1t is also used great deal in town
cookery. but as means of light it has
been almost suppressed, d by petroleum.
Much inferior olive oil IS used for max
ing soap, and in some years great
deal of oil is exported to France and
Italy. The lift, or refuse Of the olives,
is used for fuel, having great proper
ties Of heat.

this he made machine that consists of

Too Many Dogs Spoil the Coat.

The instinct of Newfoundland dogs to
save drowning person has been some
what painfully tested by an unlucky
Frenchman. He was walking in the
country with friend who possessed q
magnificent Newfoundland, and in.
cautiously questioned the truth of the
animals sagacity. The dogs master,
vexed at the slur cast on his favorite,
gave his friend push and knocked
him into shallow river. Turk imme-
diately sprang in, and, Selling one of
the tails of the immersed mans coat,
commenced to swim for land. I'm
fortunately another Newfoundland trot-
ting along the other side of the river
saw the affair, and also came to the res
cue. Dog number two seized the other
tail of the coat and wished to swim back
to his master. Turk held fast and
struggled for his side, and the owner
of the coat cried in vain for help. At
last the coat gave way and each New
foundland swan proudly home with a
piece of cloth in his mouth, so that
Turks master was obliged to plunge in
himself to save his friend.

Isinglass in the Tops of Straw Hats.

After years of search, a Boston man
has discovered that mica, known to sci
ence as muscovite, and commonly called
isinglass, possesses properties which so
nearly renders it impervious to heat as
to place it far in advance of every other
known material which has ever been
used for such purpose. The method
is adopted by placing in the crown of
the hat sheet of mica from three to
SIX inches in diameter, and variously
shaped, according to the fancy of the
manufacturer, or the form and style of
the trade mark, over which it forms a
transparent shield. 1t can readily be
seen that the mica serves three verv
important and appreciate uses, as it
protects the silk lining from contact
with pomade land perspiration, if no
cosmetique is used), protects the orna-
mental trade mark from disfiguration,
and serves as a preventive against sun
stroke. That the mica tips impart a
beauty of finish to the fashionable hats
is by no means disadvantage, and the
fact that arrangements are already con-
cluded by which these tips will be
placed in half million straw hats dur
ing the coming season is evidence of the
value and utility of the invention, which
can be applied at slightly increased
cost,

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 25. A col

River saw man disguised as negro
walking along the river. He hailed him,
and the man fred at the chopper, who
fled precipitately. This disguised man
is now known to be Began Cash, who
has been hiding in the vicinity. His
footprints were found in the clay soil
along the stream, and owing to the Pc
culiar formation of one of the boot
heels were identified as those of the des-
perado. The woodchoppers are armed
and have orders to shoot Cash upon

The elder Cash, who is out on bail,

A New SMindIe

BALTIMORE, March 25.-A swindler
has been operating in this city in novel
manner. His plan was to ascertain
where merchant kept his bank ac-
count, and then, representing himself
as United States Treasury agent, to
approach his victim and inform him
that he had heard that the cashier of
his bank was paying out counterfeit
money. He would then persuade the
merchant to draw sum of money to
obtain evidence against the cashier.
This done, he would exarline the money.
and pronouncing several notes of large
denomination fraud, would carry them
away, giving his victim an official re-
ceipt and an order on the United States
Sub-Treasurer for the amount. Of
course he never would return. He is a
dark-haired, slender, well-built man,
five feet ten inches in height.

Michigan for Butler.

CLEVELAND, March Ex-Governor
Begole, of Michigan, who is in Cleve-
land, expressed himself concerning
Michigan politics as follows: PERSONALLY
favor Ben Butler | have talked with
many Democrats and members of nv
own party, and Butler will receive the
support of the Michigan delegates.
Butler can carry Michigan and reach
the White House without Ohio, not but
that it is essential to carry Ohio to make
success sure, but if the Democratic party
should lose Ohio everything is not lost
by any means. The Democratic party
in my opinion, finds itself in this position.
Although every effort should be made TO
carry Ohio, still the party can elect its
President without it. The fusionists in
Michigan will support the Democrat
nominee.

committed the outrage belongs to the
Red Cloud reservation, and left there

this, the Indians burned Anderson's
rancho. The trouble is now over, and
the Indians will probably be sent back
