THE following statistics are of French
origin, and pointed. Under Napoleon
I'LL, the Crimean War cost France 200,-

Mexican War France spent 50O,000,000

bristling with Boulangerism and will be
compelled to go in with Russia ere long

Tilton a Success as Chess Player
Paris Corr. New York World.

Paris Corr. New York World
One of the characters about Paris is
Theodore Tilton. His long, gray hair,
which may still be called luxuriant,
falls almost upon his shoulders, which
have little stoop. His features, which
have more and more prominence and
solidity as age steals upon him, are
somewhat white, his gait has slight
slouch but is still firm, while his mas
sive form seems to have lost little of it's
ancient vigor. He usually wears soft
SLOUGH hat, and his dress is careless.
He lives in a modest way-no American
knows exactly where-and is occasion
ally seen at the bookstores or on the
Avenue de POpera. His principal
place of resorts the Cafe de la Regence,
which is in the Rue St. Honore, facing
the open place in front of Coincide
Franchise. Here he drops in every
afternoon at four or five o'clock, and
here he may be punctually found
thenceforward until dinner time, deep
ly absorbed in a game of chess. He is
not engaged, so far as known, in any
serious literary labor, though he is said
to do some writing for some American
newspapers. AS chess player he is
said to be a success.

IT is rule almost invariable that
health departments in all American
cities order all infected clothing or
furniture, no matter how expensive,
destroyed by fire. DR.. George NJ.
Sternberg, of the United States Army,
is authority for the statement that this
is wholly unnecessary. He says that
moist heat at temperature of 240 de-
grees Fair. will almost instantly de-
stroy the most resistant spores. A
wide distribution of this information
would save many sufferers from losses
of furniture and clothing that are Pc
culiarly heavy.

many glaciers. But the Muir is the
most immense, being two and one-half
miles, with from wall of nearly 400
feet. Icebergs eternally snap and crash
off this face wall. like a roar of artillery.
There is nothing grander in the United
States, if, indeed, in the world. The
ice moves at the rate of about 70 feet
per day. A few miles away the ice de-
posted during the glacier age is washing
away exposing to the air cedars buried
tens of thousands of years ago. Here is
spot for the tourist who desires to see
the world in the making of it.

Cardinal Manning Not to Take q Seat in
the House of Lords.

LONDON, May 25.-Cardinal Manning
denies the report that he has been Of
fered peerage by Lord Salisbury at
the instance Of Queen Victoria and de-
clares that it would not be consonant
witch the policy Of the Church of
Rome that Catholic bishops should oc-
cupy seats in the House of Lords.
His views on this subject are in entire
harmony with those entertained by his
predecessor, Cardinal Wiseman, who
singularly enough like Cardinal Man
ming, was an Englishman and as much
venerated by the royal family and the
nobility as Cardinal Manning is.

A Terrible Blast.
From the Mr.. vernon ual Register.

From the Mt. Vernon (Ia.) Register.
Some of the incidents of the recent
tornado at this place are very interest
ing, inasmuch as they forcibly demon
strate the natural law of momentum
and resistance. In T. Belcher's yard
may be seen coal oil barrel, which is
made of the hardest oak, with a small
pine board sticking entirely through it,
the hole made by its entrance being as
smooth as if the board had been lead
instead of soft wood. A cow, the prop
erty of J. w. Hambrick, was found
dead with ham of bacon, which had
blown and struck her hook foremost,
sticking in her forehead. A pine lath
was found in a standing oak tree, stick
ing through the middle of a limb two
and one-half inches in diameter, while
straws are still to be seen sticking in the
thick, hard bark of trees as though
they had grown there.

the Civil Courts.
OMAHA, Neb., May 24.-Quite a vigor-
GUS effort was made here by the Evan
gelical Alliance and others to stop Sum
day base ball paying In this city.
Three weeks ago man named
Parmalee, residing near the ball
grounds, sued out an Injunction against
Sunday ball playing. He was backed
by the Evangelical Alliance. His ground
of complaint was that it was a public
nuisance and interfered with his per-
owner. Nearly every preacher in town
assaulted base ball, and meantime Judge
Wakeley took the injunction case under
advisement. He has just given decis-
ion, refusing to grant the Injunction. It
is regarded as great victory.
