A Specimen Letter Received'by Mrs.
Harrison About aFalse Statement.
WASHINGTON, Special.-Mrs. Harrison is
deluged with letters about that historical
whisky punch which she did not give to the
Pan.American delegates a couple of months
ago, but which many temperance fanatics
are bound to believe she did. A specimen
letter recently received by Mrs. Harrison
runs like this:
Can it be possible that the contents of this
slip of paper is true. I cut it out of q little
paper named the Journal. l could not
bring myself to think it is true. But if it is
then, oh, Mrs: Harrison, stop and think OF
what an awful mistake you have made by
mouth; just to think that you with your
honored husband were placed at the head
of our nation; for what purpose? Was it,
oh, was it to deal out death and damnation
to your fellow beings, who, with yourself.
were created in the image of God? Alas, I
feel as If the name Of Harrison is polluted.
you'd have died for the cause of temper
ance. I am glad he is not alive to know
that such an awful, disgraceful act took
place in the executive mansion. Look back
at the lovely example which Mrs. Hayes
left you, and in the name Of God, who has
said. BE ye clean who bear the vessels of
sake of suffering humanity, do, oh, do let
it be the last. Pardon me- if you consider
my language too strong, but you know
nothing Of the real, intense agony which
mothers, wives, sisters and children endure
by this awful traffic. Wall you, oh, will
you still continue to make drunkards while
shall enter the kingdom of heaven? I leave
this with you. Take to the Lord in prayer.
I I'm your friend. a.

A Country of Salt,

Everything in the country of the
Chat in Central Asia is described by
Gabriel Bouvalot as covered with
salt. 1t is seen in the walls of the
houses and on the banks of the riv-
ers and the water one drinks is very
salt. Travelling saltpeter makers go
in summer from place toplace where
ever they al find material to work
upon. Their mode of operation is q
rough-and-ready one. Holes in the
earth serve as watts and boilers, and
belowthese are placed ovens. Abund.
ance OF brushwood supplies material
for the fires. The workers collect
from the surface of the earth heaps
of compost of salt and animal man
ure. This is soaked for t~wenty-four
hous in water, then filtered, and then
boiled fortwenty-four hours, cleansed
and placed in the sun, so that
the water may evaporate. An or.
binary workman can make about
fifty pounds in a day, and this he
pells at the rate of one penny a
sound.-Popular Science Monthly.

his brilliant book, "Recent Econo-

truth of the economic maxim that
ships r children and not the parents
of commerce." and shows that while
it is easy to buy ships out of money
raised by taxation the. mere fact of
the ~ownSfship of two or three hun
saasa more ships does no more to in
crease trade than the purchase and
ownership of two or three hundred
more plows necessarily increases to
a farmer the amount of arabic land

DIDN'T TAKE THE STORE.
Two Burglars Drag a Safe Through
the Streets Of BridpepOrt. Conn.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Special.-A grocery
store situated on the corner of East Main
and Water streets was broken into early
this morning, and a small safe weighing
500 pounds was taken out and dragged by
a rope through the various streets
to the north end Of the town, over a mile
away. The burglary was committed with
in a stones throw of the Second precinct
police station and was discovered by an Of
fcer, who with others followed the tracks
of the safe until they found it in the cellar
of the house occupied by Patrick Riel.
On searching the house, John Connolly
and Edward Burns, two crooks, were found
asleep in one room. Each had a loaded re-
volver grasped in his hand, and there were
a number of dynamite cartridges in their
pockets. They were arrested, together with
Riel and his wife. The safe was not broken
into.
The police for some time past have been
satisfied that Connolly and Burns were
among the gang which has been commit
ting numerous burglaries recently, but n
til now they were unable to get any evil
dence against them. A lady living op-
posite the store saw the men take the sale
out, but supposed that they had been en-
ployed to do so.

and 9 O'Clock he rode up and down Main
street, firing his revolver in all directions,as
he went, and defying any one to arrest him.
Wesley Beaver, who was standing quietly on
the corner Of the street, was struck by one
OF the shots, the ball taking effect in his
knee, and making a very ugly wound.
Armed posses were soon formed to arrest
him, but although several shots were fred
at Barco from Winchester rifles, shot guns,
ETC., and his horse shot from under him, he
managed to escape.
The Sydney Herald of NOV. s says that,

Woodhouse, of the training schooner Elma

Enterprise of sidney and three of the native
crew of the Enterprise were killed and eaten
by the cannibals of the Solomon islands.
The Enterprise were trading among the ISL
ands and the natives from Hammond island,
one OF the Solomon group, induced Nelson
and the Others to go ashore to make some
purchases. Once on shore they we're knocked
on the head and it is reported that the bod
les were then roasted and eaten. The letter
states that her majestyrs steamship Royalist
shelled the village on the islands on Capt.
Hand learning the particulars.
Sixty knife wounde were inflicted at Chicago
on Max Mantwell, in the basement ofhis own
home. The man was literally cut to pieces.
His head scarcely hung to the body, which
was mutilated almost from end to end.
While the tragedy was in progress the vic
TINS wife and three children were less than
fifty feet distant. The family resided in the
upper fat Of a two story house. MAXWELL
was a laborer. According to his wife's story
he went down stairs to a closet. He had not
been gonelong when she heard strange noises,
but she attached no importanceto them and
only remembered the circumstance when, af-
ter two hours, her husbands absence began
to worry her. No explanation Tor the hor-
rible affair could be found, except surmise,
which COUPLED with it the name of a man in
the neighborhood known as Bruno Eberling.
The police at once set about investigating
what, if any, relations existed between Eber-
ling and Mrs. MAXWELL. The latter is a
blond OF rather handsome appearance.

ONE of the best compliments which
/ have heard of as paid to the officers
of the squadron of evolution"
writes "Taverner':' in the Boston
Post, was from an Englishman who
has long been a resident in Boston.
He said he was struck by the gentle
manly and modest demeanors of
these wearers of uniforms, which i'm
pressed him as differing greatly from
the the consequential, not to say ar
rogant, air of officers of British men
otwar. This popularity, he said, ex-
tended to the sailors, who were as
courteous as the officers in affording
information, why, that squad
rom he said will furnish q better
argument for republicanismt than any
number Of South American revolu-
Itions."

PENSACOLA, Fla, Special.-J. M. Thomp-
son stabbed J. T. Carter to death. The men
were prominent citizens. A year ago Mrs.
Carter obtained a divorce from Carter en-
the grounds of n%on-support and she after
ward married Thompson. Carter has often
insulted her on the street since then, and
ing at the corner conversing, Carter passed
and applied an insulting epithet to his
former wife. Thompson resented the in
suit. The men clinched and fell, Carter on
top. Thompson quickly used his knife,
and as Mrs. Thompson stopped to try to
separate the men her face was struck by a
stream Of blood that spurted from Carter's
neck. Carter received a number of wounds
in various parts of the body. The tragedy
was not unexpected and public sentiment
is lenient toward Thompson, who is under
arrest.

Curious Figures on the "Sur-

The weight and bulk of the gold
and silver coins now held in the
United States treasury from the SUBJ
ject OF mach inquiry among people of
a mathematical turn of mind, one of
whom has ascertained that the gold
alone weighs COL tons of 2.OOO
pounds, and that the silver weighs
o,oOo tons. Corded along the high
way, as wood is corded, the gold
would make a wall 4 feet high and 4
feet thick for a distance of 335 feet.
The silver, If similarly packed in a
solid wall, would extend 4,248 feet,
or about f1ve-sixths Of mile. If
packed in carts, a ton to each cart.
the procession would be nearly 33
miles long, Of which distance the carts
containinggold would cover two and

carts a fraction over 30A miles,-st.
