SABIN'S CAR COMPANY.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Dec. 3.-The North
western Gar and Threshing Machine
Works, at Saltwater, of which Senator
Sabin was the head prior to receiver
being appointed last spring, have been
recognized. A new company is or
ganized on the basis of $7,OOO,OOO of
stock, 100000 being preferred and
100000 common stock. A meeting
of the Car company was
held in Boston, November Is,
at which 100000 of the stock
of the old company was represented,
and the result was the formation of q
new company to take the works and
carry them on, the new company going
into business at once. The works will
be continued at Saltwater, but all bust
ness offices will be removed to st. Paul.
Senator Sabin does not appear as di-
rector, but he worked up the reLrgani-
cation, and his friends say that in a
short time he will be on his financial
feet again.

Western states and territories and Mex
co. A permanent organization was formed
and steps we're taken to hold each year
convention which will be composed of
delegates from local associations in the
states and territories. The most notice
able action of the late convention was
the adoption of resolutions urging the
the general government to establish a
seattle TRAIL" extending from Texas to
Manitoba over which stock can be driven
from the breeding grounds in the South
to the fattening and finishing pastures
in the North. The width of the pro-
posed "trails" should be, it was claimed,
at least six miles.

Passports in Russia.
from London Life

from LONDON Lille.
Russia is now the only country where
the 7exatious passport system is still
maintained in all it's absurd rigor You
can't enter Russian territory if you
haven't a passport; you can't leave it
without one. When you get to your
hotel it is taken from you, and kept by
the police. When you have made up
your mind to leave st. Petersburg, or
wherever you may be residing, you
must inform your landlord, who will in
turn communicate your intention to the
police, who then furnish you with your
passport. The Way the customs officers
examine your luggage at the frontier is
a caution" Remember, all the re-
strictions were in force ten years ago, at
the date of the Duke of Edinburgh's
wedding. Now, the rules and regula-
tions applicable to foreigners are doubt
less ten times more severe and harass-
ing. The late emperor was so liberal
minded that he issued strict orders that
no reporters were to be admitted to the
Winter Palace to witness the marriage
of his only daughter with the queens
second son, and it is fact that but for
the interposition of the Prince of Wales
in our behalf, not single man jack of
us would have had an opportunity of
describing one of the grandest cere-
monials ever arranged.

A LOSS TO SCIENCE.
Science Hall of the Wisconsin State
University Burned.
The Valuable Contents Entirely De-
strOyed-LOss i'm Dollars Alone
100000.

At s 80 on the evening of the LIST
inst, flames were discovered in the dor
mitories of the State University build
ing at Madison, and it soon became ap-
parent that Science Hall was on fire.
This was a magnificent stone structure,
three stories above the basement, and
Ill by 1916 feet in area. 1t contained
all the scientific laboratories, apparatus
was the best equipped institution of it's
kind in the West. At the time of it's
discovery, the fire was confined to the
engine-room, having probably origi-
mated from forge which was being
operated in the evening. The flames
soon spread to the roof of the north
wing containing the machine shop,
physical laboratory, draughting rooms
and geological museum. This wing,
containing the instruments, collections
and records of priceless value, among
other things the records of the United
States geodetic survey, and private OBJ
servotions of DR.. Davies, professor of
physics, was consumed. The fire de-
partment, a volunteer affair, seemed
paralyzed and could do nothing to stay
the flames, and the entire building was
burned to the ground in the presence
of a crowd of nearly 10000 persons.
Among the irreparable losses sus-
tanned was the destruction of the geo.
logical department with DR.. Irving's
note books containing the observations
OF dozen years past, and type speci-
mems of microscopic sections of rocks
belonging to the university and to the
geological surveys of the state of Wis
consin and the United States. Lap
hams geological collection of 10000
specimens, and Strong's of 5000 of
great value met destruction. The art
gallery, of considerable value, was also
in this wing. In the south wing, we're
the lecture rooms, various chemical lab
oratories, assaying, geological and others,
and all. were consumed leaving nothing
standing but badly-charred stone walls
The building, including heating and
water fixtures, cost about 100000. DR..
Davies physical apparatus is valued at
over $4,000, DR.. Birge's geological
department. is worth about $4,000. Tt
is thought 100000 will hardly cover
the loss. There is an insurance of
SAL 900, divided among number Of
companies.

IT is asserted that nearly as much is
wasted in American kitchens as is
squandered in American saloons. This
is startling view of kitchen waste, and
though it does not involve the criminal
wrong doing so often connection with
saloon matters, such abuse and waste
are as highly censurable as they are un-
necessary. Cooking schools are being
established in some of the cities, to
teach economy and housewifely attain
ments in culinary affairs. The mistress
of household should not only be a
good cook and economical manager her
self, but she should give her realm
personal and careful attention, and
guide all under her to a proper dis
charge OF their duties. It is no dis
credit for the mistress of household to
be toiler or director in the kitchen,
or for daughters to become experts in
domestic labors, except in the eyes of
frivolous uppertendom. The discree,
housewife, who does not shirk and turn
her responsibilities over to negligent
and wasteful servants, but personally
sees to, and guides her own affairs, is a
priceless treasure to any household
and often opens the way for her hus-
band to secure fortune, or, at any rate,
success in driving abiect poverty and
want from the door.

Twenty-Five Arrests by a Dog.
From the New York Tribune.l

A large black mastiff made the ac-
quaintance of Policeman Trass in
Avenue A on a stormy night about
three years ago. The dog was hungry
and the policeman fed him. After that
night the dog visited the officer on his
post regularly, and gradually extended
his acquaintance with members of the
force. In time the Fifth Street police
station became his home, and he was
named Policeman Jack" Among his
warmest friends are Capt, McCullagh
and Sergt. Welsing. Jack spends most
of his time in their company except at
night, when he patrols the precinct,
rain or shine. Many of the patrolmen
found him ready helper in running
down escaping thieves or rufians, and
for such services the dog is credited on
the books of the precinct with having
made twenty-five arrests. Not long ago
Policeman Fisher saw thieves attempt
ing to rob a drunken man, and
started to arrest them. They fed, and
Fisher gave an alarm rap as he pur-
sued. Suddenly Jack rushed past him,
sprang upon the back of one of the
thieves, and fastening his teeth in the
mans collar forced him to the ground
in a moment. The other thief surren-
dered, and both prisoners were marched
to the police station.
Sergt. Welsing says few months ago
Jack captured burglar in the rooms
of Frederick Bockel, in East Elev-
enth Street. Bockel was asleep when
the thieves walked into the house and
opened the door of his bedchamber.
They were throwing some clothing out
of window when Jack passed along
the street. The dog barked so loudly
that Bockel was awakened. The rob-
bers attacked Bockel, but Jack rushed
in and helped to capture one of them.
The prisoner in that case was sent to
prison for ten years. An ex-policeman
secretly took Jack to a barn in the An
nexed district last winter and matched
him to fight against bulldog. Hewon
the fight. On another occasion the dog
was made drunk on beer which was
poured down his throat by some brew
ery-men in One Hundred and Seven
tieth Street, but although unsteady on
his legs, he followed the first police
man he saw. When permitted to follow
his own inclinations, Jack is a sober
and vigilant member of the force.

ACCIDENTALLY HANGED.

BOSTON, Dec. ga singular accident
happened Wednesday night, resulting
in the death of Frank Mcclure, an IL
year-old boy, residing with his parents
in East Cambridge. He was sitting at
one of the kitchen, windows from the
top of which hung rope, which he
wo und aroud his neck twice, and then,
as appearances indicate, fell asleep and
slipped out of the chair and was
strangled. The rope was not tied, but
simply passed around the neck twice.
The parents are unable to give any ex-
PLANTATION of the case beyond what is in
dicated above. The lad was perfectly
well, physically, and had no cause to as
tempt suicide, and the winding of the
rope around his neck was probably done
unthinkingly.

HE PLANTED 1T.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 3.-Some days
ago James Cunningham, agent for the
Oregon & California Railway Company
at Medford Station, Ore, claimed that
the Office had been entered by three
masked men, who presented cooked
weapons at his head and compelled him
to open the safe, and about 81. 200 were
taken. The story told by Cunningham
was doubted, and detective was en-
ployed who has tracked the robbery
down to Cunningham himself. He con-
fessed the crime and told where he had
buried the money. The company has
recovered most of the finds. Cunning
ham told clever story about the bogus
robbery, He has heretofore stood high
in the estimation of the company. He
is now in custody.

A CONSTABLE MURDERED.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Dec. "A horri-
BILE murder was committed at Van
Buren, yesterday evening. Joseph S.
H. Houck, township constable, was en-
deavoring to arrest negro desperate
named John Williams, and was search
ing for him at the house of another
negro, when Williams stepped behind
him with a double barreled shot gun
and blew the whole top of his head off.
Houck died instantly, his head being
nearly severed from his body. After
doing the shooting Williams mounted
Houck's horse and escaped to the woods.
He will doubtless be captured to-day,
for the whole town is greatly excited
over the murder of their constable and
determined to bring his murderer to
i1stice.

CLEVELAND'S CABINET.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Cabinet strik-
ers have already begun to arrive, and
for the remainder of the winter they
will infest the city. They are friends
of gentlemen who would like to have
positions in the cabinet, and they are
here to work up booms. One man from
Southern state has already half-doz-
en- men here booming him around the
hotel lobbies and urging the newspaper
men to use his name as often as posi-
BILE. There never was, it is said by old
politicians, such scramble for cabinet
places. Each Democratic or doubtful
state has from one to four candidates.
Each candidate has from one to dozen
strikers, and the clamor will be great
before March.

information in the report of the chief Of
the Secret Service Bureau, to.wit, that
while there is just now smaller per-
centage of counterfeit paper money in
circulation than there has been at any
other time since the organization of the
national banking system, he is of the
opinion that the counterfeiters have in
hand for early distribution nearly $780,

CAR SHOPS BURNED.

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 2.-The main build
ing of the repair-shops at the st. Louis,
Alton & Terre Haute railway, located
in the outskirts of East st. Louis, burn
ed last night, as did also two coaches,
two locomotives, and two box. cars. The
building was one-story frame struct-
ure, $50 feet long by 100 wide, and was
used for repairing and painting cars and
locomotives. Some twenty odd passen-
ger-cars and engines were saved. East
st. Louis has no fire department, and
no engine from this side of the river
could have reached the fire in time to do
any good. The machine-shop, brick
building near by, was saved by favora-
BILE winds. The loss is $4,000, covered
by insurance in Eastern companies.

The late cattle mems convention in
st. Louis adopted resolution urging
Congress to amend the law creating a
bureau of animal industry SO as to Sc
cure prompt and thorough inspection,
and only when absolutely necessary
quarantine stock, and that such inspec-
ton and quarantine be by competent
vet Urinary surgeon, under the direc-
ton of men who are practically familiar
with the management, feeding and care
of stock, who shall be responsible for
the proper discharge of their duties to
the United States commissioner of ag-
rieulture. The amendment proposed
would seem to be very proper one for
the consideration of Congress. Prac-
tical men in charge of the bureau of an
imal industry can be of vast benefit to
the stock interests of the country. I'm
practicable theorists can only do harm
