River Pirates on she Delaware.

~River pirates are Just as thick as ever
on the Delaware, said Customs Inspector
Frank Bingham The only difference is
they have learned TO be more cunning and
they don't cODdne their operations to
scrap-iron and Junk. but do a little snug
Cling now and then There are plenty of
their boats III the river built and planned
exactly alike, so as to defy detection
Their plan IS TO run alongside vessels
that lie in the stream and load up their
boats from the cargo. which IS generally
sugar or spirits. They operate generally
at night, but lave been caught after day
light If detected they generally manage
to escape, and then the officers Of the YES
sells swear that thev We're stealing or
broaching the cargo without their knowl-
edge. The officers OF every foreign vessel
that comes to this port know that prac-
tically the customs officials are off duty at
night, and conine their operations, Of
course, TO the period from sunset to sun

instruction in mechanical trades has
been introduced in the Maine state reform
school at Cape Elizabeth, and has enlisted
the interest Of many Of the boys, who
have made very good progress under it.
The boys are carefully taught first the
names and uses of tools, and then how to
use them and keep them in order. They
are also taught the names of the different
kinds of wood used in carpentry, and
how to distinguish them. The trustees Of
the institution in their annual report for

6. 271 horses, asses and mules during the
past year against 6, $50 of these animals

The Colonies and American Duty on
Wool.

The Premier of New Zealand has
cabled to the Premier of New South
Wales few days since that it appeared
the question of reducing the duty on
wool was again before the United States
Congress. He suggested that the Aus
tralasian Colonies should jointly ask the
Secretary of State to represent to the
United States Government that these
Colonies, so allied to them by descent
from the same race, would regard
the removal OF the duty from
Australasian wool as an act of great
friendship and consideration. The Pre-
mier of New South Wales accepted the
proposal on his own behalf, and said he
would communicate with the Govern
ments of other Colonies. Sir julius
Vogel has also urged the mail contract
ors, Messrs. Spreckels Bros, to bring all
their influence to bear in the same direc-
ton. Mr.. Stout, in his telegram, ex-
pressly advised that in the representa-
ton sought to be made to the United
States, there should be no mention of re-
taliation, or anything in the nature OF
threat

A Magnificent Theatre Destroyed.

LOUISVILLE, June 7.-At $3.50 this
morning fire was discovered on the
stage of the new Grand Theatre. An
alarm was sent in but the engines that
responded were unable to do anything
towards extinguishing the fire, which
by this time covered all of the middle
of the block between Third and Fourth,
Jefferson and Green streets and sec
ond alarm was turned in, but the en-
tire theatre was then on fire, and re-
sisted the efforts Of the fremen. At day
break the entire center of the square
was glowing mass of redhot, metal
and blazing wood. A restaurant, lot
terry, school of medicine and barber
shop were burned out as well as the
interior of the theatre. The theatre
was one of the finest in the west OF
south, and is complete loss. The
block was valued at 100000. The
entire block is loss. The property is
thought to be insured, but it is impos
sible to get the amount. AT five O'Clock
the flames burst out with renewed
vigor at the medical college building
at the Jefferson street side of the thea
tire. The roofs of all the burnt struc
lures have fallen in.

Buiiding Up a Town.

Ten years ago the Minneapolis
Review said-and the phenomenal
growth of that city indicates follow
ing the Reviews advice: "More towns
die for the want of confidence on the
part of business men and lack Of pub
lie spirit than from rivalry of nighbor-
ing towns or adverse surroundings.
When man in search of some busi-
ness location goes into a place and finds
everything full of brim and enthusiasm
over the prospects of the place and
earnestly at work to build up the town,
he soon becomes imbued with the same
spirit, and as result he drives down
his stake and goes to work with the
same interest. When, however, he goes
to a town and every one expresses
doubt and apprehension in the future
prosperity of the place, moping about
and indulging in mourning complaints
about imaginary evils which are likely
! to befall the town, he naturally feels
that it is no place for him, and at once
shakes the dust from his feet, while
he pulls with all possible speed for
some other town. Consequently, try
and make live, enterprising, progress
sing town out of the one in which you
live When you are working for OF
saying good thing for your town you
are accomplishing all the more fol
yourself"

A HOLOCAUST.
Eight Persons Burned to Death in
Chicago.


CHICAGO, June Eight persons
were smothered to death in a frame
house. 72l and 1913 South Canal street at
four this morning. Their names are as
follows: Michael Murphy, aged about
35; Annie Murphy, aged 8; Nellie Muir
ply, aged III; Mrs. Mary Dineken, aged
30; Patsy LAWN, aged 4; John Dinekin
aged 3 week; and VIM. Hand 6S years
old. The fire broke out in the cellar
OF 1873 Canal street and spread through
the wooden wall of the basement, and
73l Was soon wrapped in flames, which
enveloped the adjoining number.
Many sleepers were doubtless smoth-
cred in their beds, the flames followed
rapidly after and burned the bodies to
crisp. John Ralph, Jr., and wife, and
several children occupied the first floor
of 1913. Ralph was awakened by his
wife whom he rescued by throwing her
from the window and being unable to
do the same with the children, went to
the second floor jumped from window
with them in his arms. The second
floor was occupied by the Dinekin and
Murphy families. No member of eth
er of these families escaped. The fire
men in searching the ruins of the
house came upon most narrowing
scenes. Some were lying in half-burn-
ed beds, others who were awakened
defore death came upon them were
clutching each other in groups on the
floor. They were all evidently over
come by the smoke before any effort
had been made to escape. The upper
floor was occupied by William Hand,
Jr., and his father, wife and children all
the family were saved by jumping
from the winow except the old gentle
man. The lower floor of 731 was occu-
pied by man named Mcclure, who
kept a grocery store, all were saved.
1t is believed the fire was the work of
an incendlary. 1t was first seen by the
watchman in brewery near by. He
started over to alarm the occupants
and when in the rear of the burned
homes he met man who said: "there
is fire; you better turn in an alarm
The man disappeared up the alley
The watchman could identify the man
if he should see him again. This is
the third time the place has been, sci
on fire.

Prospects Of the Hill Bill.


81 do not think that there is any
reasonable doubt" said Chairman Hill
of the house committee on territories,
"of the passage of my bill to divide the
territory of Dakota on the seventh
standard. 1 have been overwhelmed
by kilograms and letters indorsing my
bill by the reliable. and enterprising
citizens of the territory. The PROPOSE
tion seems to meet with universal favor
among all who want division of the
territory. You see my line divides on
the east and west, and very near the
same place which is proposed in the
Harrison bill. OF course there are a
good many objections to my bill by De-
mocrats who do not think anything
should be done for Dakota, but my
proposition to divide the territory on
this line, if a majority OF the whole
territory shall vote for it, is, it seems
to me, the fairest proposition yet sub
mitted. If the people are really op-
posed to division they will have an
opportunity at the polls to say so, and
if they want division by some other
line they can say so. l do not think
there is any politics in the proposition
to do something of this kind for the
people when they shall vote for it. l
really believe that the bill will be take
up and passed this session.

month you will find that in anticipa-
tion of the proposed repeal of these
laws there has been an enormous rush
to enter public lands under the laws
mentioned. The reports of my agents
leave no doubt that this is being done
by speculators, and it was to save
these lands that l issued the order
named. OF course the uncertainty
arose, and on the ground the order
was revoked. My intention in this
matter was purely to save the public
what even a few weeks might make
the prey Of land-sharks and specu-
lators."

Sparks Depressed.

Washinton, June 4.-Commissioner
Sparks was visibly depressed to-day
when questioned regarding his last eff
fort at repeal of the Federal statu tes
relative to settlers rights upon pub lie
lands, and it is not likely he will at
tempt to suspend the right Of habeas
corpus or suspend the constitution
during the present week. Indeed, in
conversation he seemed to entertain
no other idea than that one of the
powers of the Executive branch of the
government was to alter at will all acts
OF the legislative branch and make as
great havoc among the Revised
Statues as the blue pencil of an editor
among the etfusions of a spring con.
tributor.
"rhis suspension need not work
great hardship, for it will last only
sixty days at the most, or until Aug. l
If Congress repeal the desert-land, pre-
emption and timber-culture acts 1t vii
do it before that time. The commit
tees of both houses have reported
favorably bills for this purpose, ant
my order simply forestalled tina
action
"You are aware, are you not, tina
such all order will work hardship to
large number of settlers who are seek

should not stand in the way of reform
