HIS CLOTH DISGRACED.
A Maine Minister of the Gospel Ser

A Maine Minister of the Gospel SEN
fenced for Drunkenness.
There was sad scene in the municipal
court at Portland, Me-, on Saturday last.
Among the crowd Of prisoners there was one
easily distinguishable from the usual occu-
pants of the pen. His name is Rev. Benjamin
F. Pritchard, and he is q regularly ordained
minister of the gospel, who has preached
throughout the state a great deal When
his name was called to answer to the charge
of being drunk and beating his wife, he care
fully laid aside his silk hat and responded:
''Not guilty" Then the officer told
his story-how the minister was drunk
and beating his wife and when
he had finished his testimony the
prisoner Strengthened up, and, executing an
impressive gesture, said; "Tis false"
Then another officer testified to his being
drunk by the smell of his breath. The min
lister replied that it was due to the rhubarb
he had been drinking. His wife, a remarka-
bly, pretty woman, interceded for her hus-
band, and the charge of wife beating was
omitted. He was given 30 days in the coun-
ty Jail, but appealed, and was ordered to re-
cognize in 500 for his appearance at the
April term Of the superior court. AS he can
secure no bondsnen, it is probable that he
will remain in Jail until then.

This is an era of great undertakings by
land and sea. One of the latest is the
railroad project to connect Recife
CPernambucol, the most eastern seaport
of Brazil, with Valparaiso, Chill, the
nearest harbor on the west coast of South
America to Australia and New Zealand.
The voyage from Lisbon to lecife is
made by steamers in nine days, and Val
paraiso could be reached by the proposed
railroad route from Recife in five days,
making the time from Europe to the
Pacific coast fourteen days. In obliquely
cutting South America the road would
traverse fertile provinces of Bra il,
Paraguay, the Argentine Republic, and
Chill. In both Brazil and the Argen-
tine Republic use could be made of
skeletons of railroads already con-
structed. The estimated cost of the un-
dertaking is $3.50, coo, 900. A syndicate
has been formed in Rio to obtain grants
of land and money from the countries
interested.
1t need not be said that, on more
grounds than one, this project, as well
as all other projects for the development
of South America, if accomplished,
would be of great importance to the peo-
pie of the United States. With the
progress of that vast region in agricul-
ture and commerce, its trade with this
country would immensely increase if the
American people should take advantage
of their opportunities. But this is not
to the United States the most important
consideration involved in the develop
ment of Brazil and other countries of
South America. If railroads should
penetrate those countries and make their
cheap and fertile lands availab for re-
munerative cultivation, a large emigra-
tion would be attracted from Europe.
The mighty stream of immigration that
now pours on these shores would be
greatly diminished by diversion to South
America, and thus a problem that seems
to perplex many people in the United
States might be solved.-Philadelphia

Grade Mixing of Wheat.

Grain men are much agitated over the
question of grade mixing in the Mime
apolis (Minn.) market Under the State
grain regulations public elevators are
not permitted to mix the grades. There
are, however, seven private elevators
that do mixing business. They are
large buyers of the low qualities of
wheat, and take enough of the higher
grades to bring the mass up to a certain
minimum standard that allows 1t to
pass into the grade it Is prepared for.
This business has drawn the mixers
and the State grain inspectors into a
controversy. All wheat arriving here
from the country that goes into certain
grade is not of equal quality. What
ever is in quality between the minimum,
for instance, of No. 1 Northern and the
minimum of No. 2 Northern goes into
public elevators as No. 2 Northern,
making an average of the whole me-
dunn between what is popularly termed
Hhigh grader and "skin grade" Now,
as the mixing houses are used for the
money there is in mixing, it follows that
they will naturally raise their product
up only to ''slkin grade" as it would
cost less than to put into it a larger
amount of high-priced wheat to bring it
up to the medium that should come
from public elevator.
The State grain inspectors refuse tc
inspect from private house ''skin
grade" grain as of the grade to which il
belongs under the minimum rule, but
give to it the next grade below. That
necessarily makes, in some sense, a double
system of grading; that is, ''skin grade
from a country shipper will pass, but
"skin grade" from city private elevs- q
tor will not pass. On the other hand
if the rule adopted by the inspectors, OF
something like it, was not followed
wheat from private houses, with the
same State inspection, would be o
lower quality than the same grade from
public elevators. Mo Yort Itn'eS'

Returns from 90 Banks in Connecti-
cut Show Savings of $40, ,526.S9.
The comptroller of Connecticut has returns
from 26 banks, showing 1898 unclaimed de-
posits aggregating SIS, 5,526s9. The average
is $50, but the deposits range from a
half-dolar up to $1,000. The largest
amount is held by Ancient Savings
Bank at New London whose 46 deposits
amount to 5000 When the law first went
into effect few years ago the banks reported
nearly 500, OO). This has been reduced by
the publicity given the reports through the
newspapers and the recovery of many de-
posits by heirs 1t is noticeable that the list
of depositors is very largely made up Of
women, who died without revealing to rela-
tives or friends the Whereabouts of their
savings. There are a dozen OF more quite
large deposits standing in the names of SOL

MORMONS IN CANADA.
Trouble Expected With the SettI,
ment at Lees Creek.

Trouble Expected With the Settle
ment at Lees Creek.
After all their promises to forsake poly
gamy on being permitted to settle in Canada,
the Mormons of Lees Creek have evidently
made up their minds to set the laws and the
government at defiance. Hon. A. M. STEM
house, who recently resigned his seat in the
British Columbia legislature to join the Nor
mon colony at Lees Creek and
who has become q prominent member
of the sect, says in defence of multiple
city of wives that the criminal element of
bigamy consists in the deception which is
practised on one or more parties interested,
whereas among the Mormons polygamy can
only be contracted by the consent of all the
parties inter ested. He says publicly that If
he marry one wife it is not the action or opin-
ion of inteTmeddling governments that will
deter him from seeking higher honors In mat
rimony. As free born Briton he says he will
certainly claim equal rights with the Indian,
Mohammedan and other subjects of her ma
jesty. The government has been madeAaware
of the view he has taken and will watch his
actions sharply. Til ncouraged the for
nation Of the Norm colony in face of a
very strong opposition, the elders Of the
church who visited Ottawa having promised
to renounce the practice of polygamy for
ever, although subsequently they endeavored
to obtain permission for those who were al
ready married to more than one woman to
continue living with his several wives, which
privilege was refused.

INDIGNATION AT SALEM, N. H.
Action Against Welch, Who Caused

Action Against Welch, Who Caused
the Arrest of the white Caps"
An Associated Press representative called
upon several of the most prominent residents
of Salem, N. H., where the alleged White
Cap outrages were committed, and found all,
without exception, thoroughly indignant at
the published reports of the occurrences. An
indignation meeting of all citizens has been
called for, at which 1t is expected that action
will be taken toward the prose-
cution of Welch who caused
the arrest Of the shoemakers. John Troy,
one of the arrested White Caps, said the affair
was all case of fun. Nothing wrong was
intended, the only wrong done being the
greasing of Welch's face. The reports pub
lished have done great injustice to the young
men implicated. Two of the officers who
made the arrests are said to have limited
that, if defence had been made, all of the
men would hay o been acquitted.

ROW IN THE SENATE LOBBY.
A Big, Broad Shouldered Man De-
clines to be Put Out,

ClineS 10 De HuU out.
There was something like row in
the senate lobby at a recent executive ses-
sion. There is a sturdy looking, broad
shouldered man who has been standing near
one of the doors for several days. He is ex-
tremely patient, and waits there as stolidly
and uncomplainingly as claimant. When
the senate went into executive session, the
messengers and employees went through the
lobby like cyclon sweeping before them
everyone not permitted to remain about the
senate during secret session. The storm
ragged around the sturdy, silent man, but he
would not bulge. He defied the cyclone
defied the senate. There was great growl,
ing, and it looked as though there would
have to be an appeal to force. The man
demanded that the president of the senate
should decide the matter The appeal
was carried to Mr.. ingalls,, and he decided to
let the man stay. Then the secret was out,
This man was detailed by the president of
the senate to guard the presidential election
certificates Like Roman sentinel he re-
manned at his post. This affair, of course,
betrayed the location of the hiding place of
the certificates. The man still stands there
in the lobby, and no one now attempts to

MUTINY ON THE WATER LILY.

with His Crew.
A few days ago the fishing schooner Water
Lily of Gloucester started out on fishing
trip from Portsmouth, N II. The wharf
was barely cleared when Ansel McClain, one
of the crew, attempted TO take the wheel
from Capt. John Hiltz who was steering.
The captain ordered him forward, and when
he refused rushed him along McClain went
forward and tried to pick a row with Angus
McIsaac. He was finally quleted by
some other members of the crew
When the schooner had passed Fort
Point light McClain and McIsaac
suddenly advanced toward the captain, say
ing that they were going to run things. The
captain told them that he was in command
and that he would knock the first man down
that came aft. Whereup0n the cook, VIII
liam Donnell, caught up hatchet and said
''If there's going to be any fighting, l am
going to have hand in il" Seeing the men
advancing armed with hatchet and
wooden stave, the captain ordered
them forward, and, !, ess they still
advanced, he rushed below and got his
revolver. In coming up on deck his pistol,
which was self-cockng, was accidentally
discharged, the ball passing through his left
hand, breaking the bone of one finger and
severing several arteries. With the revolver
in his hand the captain told the men that he
would shoot them II they did not go below.
They quickly retired, the schooner was
brought into harbor, anchored, tug was
signalled, and the captain brought to the
city and taken to his home, and physician
called to dress his wounded hand. McClain
and Donnell were arrested

ELECTRICAL NOTES.
An Electric Matrix for Abolishini
Type I'm Printing.


An invention of Minneapolis, MINI,
printer and an electrician of the same city
that it is claimed will do away with nova
BILE type, and reduce the cost of printing,
spread and labor Of a composing room for
newspapers and cheap books one halt, Is
termed the electric matrix, and may be thus
described. 1t seems to be a typewriter ap-
piled to printing, but in such way as to in
volve stereotyping for all that it prints. The
machine works upon dry cardboard, like
that which is used wet for the matrix Of O
stereotype plate, it stamps upon this card
board a perfect matrix for casting a plate,
and as soon as you withdraw the
sheet from the machine, the type
metal may be cast into IL.
This shortens the process of stereo-
tipping one half, in labor and time; but the
notable saving is said TO be in type setting
and 'justifying," distributing" and correct
ing proof and other numerous composing
room operations. The matrix requires q
1-30th horsepower motor to operate 1t, and
there are flye separate applications of cleo
tricity TO the movements Of the machine. II
is stated that one OF these little revolution
izers" can print as fast as four ordinary
typesetters, and faster than three good
printers, and the machine will probably be
on the market by the first Of next month.
The world will wait to see If it is Eureka,
