The Juggernaut.

Juggernaut or Jaggernaut puri, or simply
Puri, is town on the eastern coast of Hin
doostan, in the province of Orissa. 1t is cele-
brated as being the seat of temple erected
to vishnu, and is one of the principal resorts
of Hindoo pilgrims, who come hither to wor-
ship the idol Juggernaut, hideous figure
of wood, which, placed upon movable plat
form sixty feet in height, is drawn by means
of ropes, while the infatuated worshipers
throw themselves under it's ponderous wheels
and are crushed to death, hoping thus to Sc
cure eternal blessedness. The testimony OF
several government officials have been given
to the effect that the deaths which occur in
these idolatrous scenes result more from the
pressure of the vast crowds and the confusion
of the excited multitude than from the deter
mined desire for self immolation. Greater
care is now taken by the civil authorities to
preserve order, and consequently to save life;
but still the scenes on the roads as the multi
tudes come to the temple, at the temple it.
self and on the return, are of a most demon
alizing and destructive character. After all
that may be said in explanation by the Off
cials, the testimony of those who have for
many years been spectators of the exciting
scenes at the loathsome and disgusting wor-
ship, clearly establishes the fact that self inn
violations prevail and they are considered a
special honor to the idol and a means of ex-
altation after death.

A gentleman who was paying his addresses

and whether he might flatter himself with a
chance of ultimate success The lady replied,
"Stripes!' telling the gentleman to transpose
the letters so as to form out of them another

THE DOVE
There was a lonely ark,
That sail'd DER waters dark;
And wide around.
Not one tall tree was seen.
Nor flower, nor leaf Of green;
All, all were drown'd.
Then q soft wing was spread.
And DER the pillows dread,
A meek dove flew;
But on that shoreless tide
No living thing she spied
To cheer her view.
There was no chirping sound,
Ger that wide watery bound,
To sooth her woe.
But the cold surges spread
Their covering over the dead,
That slept below.
So to the ark she fled,
With weary, dropping head,
To seek for rest:
Christ is thy Ark, my love
Thou art the tinid dove,
Fly to his breast.

BUTTE, Mont, June 4.-There was q

digging through the cavern 10 the endeavor
to rescue the entombed men, two of whom
can be heard distinctly hammering on the
wall Those missing are Pat Murphy, Con
Harrington and two men who had just gone
to work yesterday. If no fresh cave in 90
ours two of the men will be rescued. The
cave commenced on the 500 foot level and
did not stop until it had gone clear to the
300 foot level and about 200 feet in length.
The mine is one of the largest mines in this
city and employed 600 men. No ore can be
hoisted for some time, and it will stop the
production of 1 200 tons of copper ore per
day. The rescuing party were within
twelve feet of the entombed men early this
morning, and by signals it was learned that
only two are alive.

lying at the bottom of the boom for Thur.
man for Vice President thus: 1.-THE Presi
dent has never looked with favor on the
mention of the name of any one holding
office Uuder his administration for place on
the same ticket with him. Some three or
four weeks ago he indicated iu plain terms
to several prominent democratic leaders his
aversion to any such assertion, and his wish
that nothing should be done by those who
would be in control at the convention to
further the aspirations of any of those gen
tlemen. The President did not, of course,
consider it incumbent on him, to have any
personal conference with the gentlemen
concerned. or to make any comment on the
fact that certain delegations or parts OF
delegations had declared for one or the 9TH
er of them. The two gentlemen holding
places under the administration whose
friends have been particularly active in
pushing them for the vice presidential nomi
nation are First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Stevenson and Commissioner of Pen
sioDs Black. 1t was the rather considers-
BILE vote which seemed to be piling up for
the former which Undue d. the President TO
express his own sentiments 10 the matter.
He was pronounced in the utterance that
under no circumstances would it be congo
NAL for him to run with any one holding his
commission. This had the effect TO reduce
the number of candidates.
