Uses of Electricity.

It doesn't seem possible that pa would do
such thing, but The Belfast Age says he
did. According to that paper Belfast man
has small electric battery which he put to
a novel use His wife occasionally makes
him stay at home to take careof the children.
He was left tho other day, and wanted to so
across the street badly, but the children were
too young to be left alone. He finally set the
battery going, then placing the handles in
the children's hands started the current
strong enough so they couldn't let go, and
left them. They were there on his return.
The beauty of this story probably is in the

Some Account of Leprosy-Its History, It's

The recent death Of Father Damien, the
"Hero Martyr Of Molokai," the prompt nc
ceptance of his vacant place and work by
Father Lambert Conrady, who is doomed TO
the same fate and the appearance of Isolated
cases Of leprosy in America, have awakened
a new interest in that dread disease. At the
beginning, the sad fact must be acknowledge
that but little more is known OF its cause and
essential nature than was known when Che
hazi went forth leper rs white rs snow,
and when the Jewish law was so strict and 50
thoroughly enforced that even n stricken
king had 70 abandon his throne and become
an outcast But some important facts as to
prevention and possible cure, still more as to
alienation, have been discovered, and in this
line Father Damien did and suffered enough
to entite him 10 immortality.

UNJUST CRITICISM.
Gen. Early's Address at the DecOra.
ton of Confederate Soldiers
Graves.

WINCHESTER, Va, June 6.-The graves
of 3, 300 confederate soldiers were decorated
this afternoon. General Jubal A. EARLY,
orator of the day, made an address of some
length. 1t abounded in sarcastic illusions
to Grant and Sheridan. Speaking of the
battle of Winchester he said his command
was compelled to retire before an over
whelming force, numbering nearly $4,000
men, of which more than 10000 were
cavalry, while his force did not number
$4,000 at most. Early glorified in the
mastery retreat of his force Referring to
his etory, written from Federal stand
point, he said: One thing strikes person
with great force and that is the wonderful
capacity the confederate soldiers had of
multiplying themselves on the field of
battle. After describing the battle of Cedar
Creek, Early said Sheridan made his famous
ride over distance of about ten miles,
and that it took him from early morning
until noon to do it. EARLY contradicued the
: Pc sonal Memoirs of General Grant" and
'theArmy and Navy Journal. Speaking of
the devastation of the Shenandoah Valley,
Early said it was due rather to the
magnanimity of Grant than to the barbarity
of Sheridan, as Sheridan simply took his
orders from his predecessor.

THE LUMBER TRAFFIC.
Why the United States Cannot Com
pete With Canada.

ST. PAUL, June 1O-The Senate Com
mittee on Relations with Canada met with
representatives of this city to-day. They
especially asked for testimony as to the
transportation of merchandise Unre-
stricted reciprocity for profit both of the
twin cities and northwestern Canada, was
favored by numerous witnesses. j. M.
Egan explained the Manitoba railway sys-
tenn, which extends from this city through
out the northwestern portion OF the United
States and Canada, stating that its busi-
ness consisted largely in carrying from the
United States to Canada those manufac-
tuIed articles which must be had.
Captain Bowen, a lumber manufacturer
said he represented several lumber COM
panies, which cut about 100000 feet
year. He was not in favor OF free lumber.
Canadian lumbermen paid ior what lumber
they cut when they cut it. 1t only cost
them On this basis from Is cents to $125
per 1000 on pine. They pay no tax; they
only pay for what they cut and are free
from loss.
In Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota
the lumber had to be brought right out.
There labor was much cheaper as many OF
the lumbermen came from eastern pr0vin-
ces of Canada to work for from $50 to $22
a month, who said they worked for from
$12 to 16 previous to this year. The ma
jority of lumbermen here were Scandina-
vians, who have lived in the State. Gen.
Drake said Canada could not make ar
rangements with us CONSTANT with the
interests of England, for the tariff of this
continent must then be the same against
England. This country could not manu-
facture for Canada against England. He
favored political rather than agricultural
union. The general tendency of the testi-
mony favored reciprocity and the mem
bers of the committee say that this has
been the case wherever they had gone.
They will have meeting in Minneapolis
to- morrow.

Romantic Affair.

ST. LOUIS, June 11.-A Republic Nevada
special says: A romantic chapter was de-
veloped here to-day in the life of Miss
Emma Bond, whose terrible sufferings at
Taylorville, Illinois, excited the general
sympathy all over the United States. In
49,, Miss Bond visited friends in Hepler,
Kansas, and while there met Mr.. Justin.
The acquaintance eliminated in something
stronger than friendship and last October
they met by agreement in st. Louis and
were married. For reasons best known to
themselves they decided to keep the marri-
age secret and succeeded in doing so until
few days ago, since when a misplaced
letter conveyed to the wife's relatives the
first information which they obtained of
the situation. Mr.. Justin was then con-
ducting the business of wool mer-
chant at Hepler and the wife was at home
with her parents in Illinois. The discov-
cry of the letter was followed by the
avowal of the truth and the arrangement
to live together. Sunday Justin reached
Nevada and waited here until his wife ar
rived to day. They will visit friends of
the husband for few days and then 60 to
Hepler to live. Mrs. Justin has apparent
ly recovered from the effects of the brutal
treatment which she suffered.

THERE is talk that Queen Victoria will
abdicate in favor of the Prince of Wales
Such reports are, however, generally dis
credited. Queen Victoria has never shown
any symptoms Of WEAKNESS in her position.
The only feeling tina. could ever influence
her to take suck step is the growing
sentiment of tho Euglish people that
royalty and nobility are expensive Injuries.
1t would be q polite thing for the Queen
to let the Princs of Wales get fairly seated,
while she can exert her great influence in
his favor. England is moving toward a

Her nobility is becoming bankrupt in
