Natural Electricity.

An extraordinary tale comes from Bur
nah. Mr.. Ronald H. King, an electri.
elan we'll known to the Burmese, while
on prospecting and shooting expedition
u the island of LabuanS Is said to have
iscovered a mineral from which elec-
ricity can be obtained without appa-
ratus of any kind whatever.
he mineral, says the Electrical Re-
qw," is described as being in the form
black stone, of excessive hardness
ud very great specific gravity, being
j"arly as heavy as platinum. A small
lock in the shape of an irregular cube,
m"usuring 4.3 inches one way, and, on
n..uging it into the testing room, a
fOug effect was noticed upon the gal
vunometer. At first it was thought that
the mineral was an ordinary loadstone,
but on tests being made it was found
that the force was more akin to that OF
an electro magnet, and that a strong
current would flow when the mineral was
connected in circuit.
Further tests revealed that difference
of potential of forty seven volts could be
detected at the eXtremities, the internal
resistance of the mass being twenty
ohms. The block appears to waste away
very slightly, leaving a slight gray pow
der upon the surface when connected up
for some time. The electrician now
uses the block to light couple of in
candescent lamps in his laboratory

The NIanchester Ship Canal.

Any one unconvinced by sight of the
canal itself that the task OF making 1t Is
a serious one would assuredly be con-
verted if he saw the plant and machinery
at work. Though the canal is only
thirty-flve miles long, there are about
200 miles of railway line laid dcwn on or
near its banks, and $50 locomotives are
at work upon them to remove the soil
dug out by $1,000 human and eighty
steam navves. One of these latter has
been known before now to feed $50 rail-
way wagons, holding four cubic yards
apiece, in the course of day. But
when there are 50,000,000 cubic yards to
be excavated 1900 is mere flea bite.
In all, the plant on the ground at pres
emit ls valued at upward OF E700,000.-

WealthE, But Died in n Garret.

TOPEKA, KAN, July 24.-S. S. Cart
wright, died in this city yesterday, aged
sixty years. He was a widower and had
lived here for years in garret. He was
supposed to be in limited circumstances,
but events reveal that he was worth prob
ably quarter of million. His property
consisted of houses and lands in this city,
ranches in the counties adjoining, and
city and suburban property in Albany,
N. Y, where his children reside.
ALBANY, July 24.-The dispatch this
morning telling of the death of S. S.
Cartwright, with $25O,0OO in garret at
Topeka, Kansas, was read with interest
here. Cartwright was farmer of
Rensselaerville, in Albany county, and
twelve years ago went West and made
money rapidly. AS he was not of a penu-
rious nature, and his dying in ga-rc. is
not understood here, his son 1left for To
peka this morning.

THE WAY THE MURDERS ARE SUPPOSED
- HAVE BEEN COMMITTED.

- HAVE BEEN COMMITTED.
Ever We most abandoned women live
in stSt9 of terror, however they may
try to rirse their feeling under a mask OF
drunken gayety.
The police are absolutely no safeguard.
The murderer may prowl as he wishes
about these alleys and lanes, even with
his hands red with the blood Of his vic
Tins.
There was no one more astonished
than the constable who discovered the
body of Alice Mackenzie.
Why" said he to reporter, II could
scarce believe my bloomin' h'eyes."
The entire force are completely dunn
founded, they are as helpless as children.
After the murder they make big
show, which results in nothing except
the arrest and subsequent discharge of
some drunken loafcrs who drop mys-
terious hints in public houses.
IT. must undoubtedly be admitted the
police here are terribly handicapped in
dealing with the "Ripper." Whitechapel
and its immediate neighborhood are Sim
ply net works of narrow streets on either
side of Commercial road, which is a
rather fine thoroughfare. Once a man
who is acquainted with the locality turns
any one corner the chances are that the
him. He becomes lost in the labyrinth.
Furthermore, the quarter is large
city in itself, city of tumble-down,
rickety houses and filthy courts and gate
ways. with a population for the most
part criminal.
The lowest of the low, the most aban.
doned wretches, both male and female.
reside here in filthy dens. They are
stepped in poverty and vice, and thi-
within q stones throw almost of the
royal mint of England.
The women arc poor wretches who, as
a rule, have a sort of partnership with
men viler than themselves. They do
lib.le charring by day, and supplemeE
their earnings on the streets at night. j.:
they nave not regular partners they
sleep in the low lodging-houses tina
abound here, and pay fourpence for the
"doss." Should they happen to hav'
companions an "eightpenny doSs" is Ell
gagged. Sometimes there is not enouS'l
Of money left from the gin palace to pay
for Il bed, and i'll that case q cart in some
gateway or alley serves the purpose.
These are the women who become the
victims Of Jack the Ripper. They
know the quietest hooks and corners in
this abandoned portion of the great city
and have no fear for the policeman, whose
heavy. measured tread always gives
warming of his approach, and even should
he flash his lantern on dark corner the
chances are that to save himself trouble
he would pass on.
The iend appears to be wonderfully
dexterous at his work. He never gives
the victim chance of raising an alarm.
The throat he first cuts in single instant
and then he begins the work of mutIla-
tion. The theory is that he cuts from
behind, thus avoiding the blood. The alb
domen lie carves up with evident Skill
and the entrails he cuts out cleanly, as a
rule taking care to place them in some
position 10y tho body which renders his
terrible work more hideous. Then, his
work completed, he glides away.

SHOT HER TWICE.
A CoIorsd Desperate at Derry Tries to Nrnr-

a COlored Desperad0a at Derry Tries 10 mnr-
der His Wife.
GRERNsBURG, Pa, July 24.-This morn
ing about nine o'clock Jim Lewis, a noto-
rious colored barber at Derry, shot his
wife twice.
The first bah lodged in her arm and the
second shot took effect in the groin.
Neither Of the wounds, it is thought, will
prove fatal.
Lewis is tough customer who has fig
ured in several cutting scrapes, and at
one time shot Conductor Bell, for which
he served term in the penitentiary. The
couple have not been living together as
amicably as they should, and this morn
ing they had the usual racket with the
above result.
Lewis is we'll known here, where his
parents reside. He has been several times
convicted Of robbery, and has always
been regarded as a very dangerous nan.
He was arrested, and, if not lynched by
the citizens, who are in a terrible state of
excitement, will be brought here and
edged in jail.

Gorilla himself, was born in 1877 in the
city of Valladolid. Destined by his pa
rents for the law, he spent two years in
legal studies, and then, disgusted with
the profession chosen for him, and filed
with an impetuous longing to embark in
the career of literature to which he felt
himself inwardly drawn, he went to Ma
drid, at the cost Of rupture with his
family, to test his fortune In the metrop-
oils. His first volume of poems appeared
when he was but 20, and for eight years
afterward he poured out poetical and
dramatic productions with true Spanish
fecundity. No less than ten volumes of
verse and thirty dramas are to be assigned
to this period. But his literary activity
brought him more fame than money.
His father having died unreconciled to
the disobedient son, the latter was left
to his own resources. He went to Paris.
and there began publishing his longest
and most famous poem "Granada" "a
sort of epic, into which he wove some Of
the proudest traditions and most cher
ished legends of the southern kingdom.
1t was to this poem that was due the
initiative taken by the Llceo OF Granada
to proposing his crowning, 1t being
thought eminently fitting that the prov
tnce and city whose glories he had sung
should take lead | n doing him honor
But even from this work Gorilla derived
no prof1t-what with bankrupt agent,
pirated editions, and the difficulty OF
making collections from American book
sellers the poet became discouraged,
and left his epic unfinished, though it
had already extended through two vol
umes.
Next came twelve years passed In Mex
leo, lost to poetry, though filed with
pleasant experiences, and marked by the
temporary advantage of the patronage of
the mushroom emperor, Macmillan.
Upon the fall Of the latter, Gorilla re-
turned to Spain to begin life anew. II
was hard struggle. Hack-work was
for long time his principal contribution
TO literature. Finally, Amadeus APP
pointed him a sort of rowing commissioner
to examine Italian libraries and arch
ives, but his salary on this score ran for
less than two years. Then he had
period of successful lecturing, and at
last, through the eloquent advocacy of
CASTELAR,, was granted pension by the
government. Since then he has been
living u retired life in Valladolid to be
called forth at the end of his days to re-
ceive, in memory of his former literary
labors, the nations tribute of affection

Der of the firm of Wyckhoff a. Jeffrey, of
Peoria. He occupied q parlor room on
the eastern extension of the corridor.
Early on the 5th of July his body was
found suspended over the bathtub in his
suite. The tub was filled with warm
water and contained the charred frag-
ments of combustibles ignited by Jeffrey
just before killing himself When dis
covered a stiletto was found plunged
into his left breast, his throat was cut
fromear and ear, pistol hung by cord
within easy reach, beside it a pearl
handled razor. His body hung by q
stout cord fastened to the ceiling.
He had saturated his clothing with
kerosene so it would be easily ignited
from the combustibles in the tub. He
turned on the water as he wrote letter
and when the rope he was hanging by
would be burned through he would fall
into the tub and burn to a crisp. The
coroner's jury was unable to tell which
killed him.-Chicago Times.

Friendly Tips to Advertisers.

A thing worth doing is worth do,
ing well. A thing worth advertis.
ing is worth advertising we'll.
The enterprising advertiser prove.
that he understands how to buy, be-
cause in advertising he knows how
to sell.
If you can arouse curiosity by
an advertisement. it is a great point
gained. The fair sex don't hold all
the curiosity in the world.
People who advertise only once
in three months forget that most
folks cannot remember anything
longer than about seven days.
To quit advertising in dull times
is like tearing down dam because
the water is low. Either plan will
prevent good times from coming.
A constant dropping will wear
rock. Keep dropping your adyer-
