A major of artillery, who had COM
mand of fort in the far west was
frequently lamenting that his right
arm could not be more often used
against the Indians. Finally, one day
he took one of the small howitzers s.
which defended the fort, and. accord

The major remarked something about
the moral effect the exhibition was

and stepped gayly forward and applied
the match. The curiosity of tho mule
was aroused. He jerked his head
around to see what was fzzing away

The Calumet & Hecla mine in Michigan is
on fire again. Flames were discovered by
party of timbermen, consisting ofChristopher
Rull, Charles G. Larson and Henry Berki-
wink. One of them smelled smoke and they
searched until the fire was located in No. 3
shaft of the Calumet mine. 1t is supposed
that the fire Is as low as the eighth or tenth
level and extends upward to the surface. A
vast body of smoke mingled with sparks is
pouring cut of the opening. Rull and party
Immediately warned the one hundred or more
miners who were in dangerous parts of the
mine and they escaped by the main entrance.
Eight men who were working In the main
entrance shaft, loo feet deep, are missing,
and it is almost certain that they have
smothered owing to the great heat and dense
smoke which is in No. shaft, and is begin
ming to prevade the entire Calumet part Of
the mine. No rescuing party could live ten
minutes, and the missing men must be
abandoned to their fate. The names are 10
seph Masolis, Antonio Kattaresina, John
Vanderbilt, w. G. Martin. Kew Hanson and
three others, names unknown. Four of the
men are married and leave families. Every
thing goes to show that the mine was set on
fire. The last fire was discovered Nov. 20 of
last year, on Sunday evening; this time ON
Thanksgiving night. Only q few miners were
in the mine at either time. The theory that
the fire was never put out, and kept smoul-
dering in the old and unvisited parts of
the mine is regarded as ridiculous. II the
fire was burning, it's existence would have
been known before and proper steps taken to
put it out Every one In the copper district
believes that the fire was nm incendiary one.
The mouths of all the shafts in the Calumet
part OF the mine will be closed down. carbol-
ic acid gas generations set at work and the
mine pumped free of gas. This will put out
the fire, but it will take several months and
at great cost. During the fire Of last year
the Black Hills, or South Hecla portion of
the mine, which is unconnected with the main
portion, was developed SO that nearly every
miner employed in the big mine can
given work. It may be- neces-
sary for men to work eight-hour shifts in
place of ten hours daily, and the expected
raise in wages cannot come Every plan
that human ingenuity could devise has been
broached to rescue the eight men from the
mine, hut WITHOUT avail. Smoke ie issuing
from several Of the shafts. which are being
covered with timbers and earth 1t would

The Washington Star says: Onundoubted
and indisputable authority it can be stated
that Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland will go abroad
very shortly after they bid farewell to the
White House. The programme calls for their
departure early in June. France is to be the
first country visited, and then Great Britain
will he explored. Mrs. Cleveland has always
been very anxious to make a trip to Norway
and Sweden, and it is more than probable
that they will journey thither early in Au-

countries in the tour, and if Mrs. Cleveland
can only convince theex-president that Italy
is desirable land in which to spend a few
months, the couple will stay through the
winter at San Reno or Nice.
