BEATS THE BLACK HILLS BEST.

Under the caption "Verne's Greatest
Effort Eclipsed,' the Chicago Tribune
publishes the following from its special
Litchfeld (Ky.) correspondent, of receas
date:
Prof. John NJ. Klein, Kentucky's emil
nent astrologer, was greatly surprised
last Sunday evening by witnessing a
vertical unheaval on the suns face. The
way it appeared through his telescope
was as if one of the huge spots on the
sun was projected with great violence be-
yond the suns center of attraction, and
was coming directly toward the earth.
The distance from the sun is about co.
100000 miles, and Prof. Klein estimated
the off-shoot from the sun would strike
the earth some time during the day, I'M
less it was consumed by friction in its
rapid aight. His calculations proved
right, however. as the heavenly visitor
struck this planes about 10 o'clock that
night. Its lurid light and kissing sound
startled the citizens of Litchfeld and
surrounding country as they had never
been before. The huge mass fell near
Bee Spring in Edmondson county, GA
lands owned by John E. Stone. It COW
ers about 140 acres of ground and is
about 1900 feet high. 1t has probably
sunk into the earth 400 feet. 1t is a
glowing metallic mass, and emits ter
rife heat, so that it is impossible to get
near it. It's properties are as yet un-
known. Prof. Klein's observatory is at
Hartford, over fifty miles from where the
meteor fell. Bee Spring is nineteen
miles from Litchfeld and fourteen miles
from Mammoth cave.
The above may be true. A mass of
heavy material S,4O0 feet in height with
a base covering 140 square acres, thrown
through space . distance Of 9o,0OO,0O0
miles, increasing its speed each second
according to the rules laid down by
natural philosophy, would have attained

Just fifty years ago, on the 23d day
of April, 1888, the steamships Sirius and
Great Western arrived in port at New
York after voyages from Europe Of nine
teen and fifteen days respectively. This
was the beginning of Atlantic steam
ship navigation, although one or two
vessels had previously crossed the At
lantic under steam and sail. Now the
Atlantic is daily plowed between Euro
pean and American ports by more than
800 steamships. Fifty years ago the
imports and exports of this country
amounted to about $20O,0O0,0O0 year.
Now they amount to more than 81, $780,
000,0 900 year. In 1888, before the era of
steam, the number of bnmigrants land
ing annually in the United States was
about 10000. In ten years the average
number Of immigrants had increased to
100000 year, and now it is about $780,
.000,a year..

WISE: WORDS.

The, following from the pen of the
late Justice Davis, the great jurist of
Illinaiss is worth reading and thinking
over. The Judge has dressed in differ
ent: style the thoughts that heretofore
every editor in the country has pre-
sented in, one form or another:
Every year. every local paper gives
from 81 900 to Sc, 900 in free lines for the
sole benefit of the city in which il is
located No other agency can or will
do this. The local editor. in proportion
to his means, does more, for his town
than any other ten men, and. In ALI fair
ness, man with man, he ought to,he SUPP
ported, not because you happen to, like
him or admire his writing, bat because.a
local paper is the best Investment a
community can make. It may not be
brilliant or crowded with great thoughts
but financially it is more of benefit to
a community than the preacher or teach
er. Understand us now, we do not
mean morally or intellectually, but fnan-
cially, and yet on the moral question
you find the majority of local papers are
on the right side of the question. To-
day the editors of the local papers do
the most work for the least money of
any men on earth. Subscribe for your
local paper, not as charity, but as an
investment.

THE GREAT STRIKE Is ON.
OVER 100000 IRON WORKERS OUT
OF EMPLOYMENT.
ALL THE WESTERN MILLS COM.
PEELED TO SHUT DOWN.

The Conference Between the Amalga-
facturers Only Serves to Hasten the
Inevitable---Both Sides Firm and the
Chances Good for q Prolonged Fight.
PlTTsBURG, June 30.-The iron work
ers' strike is now on, and by noon the
mills Will be idle. The conference of the
wage committees Of the Amalgamated
association and the iron manufacturers
was short and decisive. The workers.
representatives stated that the lodges
had voted upon the question
of a reduction and decided
unanimously to reject it. The
manufacturers then stated that they
would not pay the present wages. There
was but little discussion, and the confer
ence adjourned. The members of the as
ISOLATION went into consultation at once
at their headquarters, and will hive
their scale presented to the manufactur-
ers to sign OF reject as they see proper.
Should all mills close down fully 1O0,-
600 men will be affected.
III an interview M. N. werner, OF the
Pittsburg Forge and Iron company, said
the shutdown would be complete.
The statement that the mills
We're closing for repairs is untrue.
They arc closing because the manu-
facturers will not pay the present
wages. He said further that it was i'm
possible to predict the outcome, but one
/ thing was certain-the manufacturers
would not sign the scale unless there
was an advance in the price of iron.
They will not consent to arbitration,
and the wages must be IS per ton or
nothing. The workmen are equally de-
termined to stand out for the scale, and
from the present indications the struggle
will be protracted and bitter. In this
city $500 will be thrown ont of en-
ploy,nent by the strike, and in the
West it is estimated that not less
than $1,000 men will be affected.
Among other interests affected by the
strike will be the railroad freight bust
ness and coke trade. Suspension Of
work in the mills means the banking up
of blast furnaces, and as a consequence
the shutting down generally of coke
ovens in the Connellsville region.

IMPORTED IDEAS.

Tho Anti-Poverty Society Propose to Put
into Use the Irish Nethods Against
I.andlordism in This Country.
New York, July 3.-The Anti Poverty
society has entered upon the considera-
ton of the question whether or not II
will refuse to pay any more land rent
There was a large attendance at the
meeting in Cooper Union last night DR..
McGlynn spoke briefly IN the subject of
the legality of a proposed plan Of cam
paign against landlordism. The plan, as
explained by him, had two outlets for
anti-poverties. The first plan was to get
as many people as possible-15, 600 or
2O.OOO-to agree that after a certain date
they would pay no more rent for land,
and only a fair rental for the use of the
houses. Then the rent paying people
were to retain possession of the houses
until evicted by process Of law. AS there
are only eleven district courts to issue
dispossess warrants, the speaker said,
they would become discouraged and re-
duce the rents to q reasonable basis.
