on Summit Hill, Carbon county, in 1891, has
given rise to number of claims for the nonor
OF discovering coal in Pennsylvania. The Wyo-
ming valley people claim that anthracite was
known in That section of the state early

burned in Valley Forge about the time of the

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, is according 10 the
census just taken, the most remarkable city in
the United States, probably in the world Its
Increase in population in the past decade has
been phenomenal to express the fact in the
mlldest term at command. In the interval since
the tenth census West Superior has increased
l4,2JO per cent, the largest rate shown 50 far by
any city IN this country. That is, the city, &C
cording to footings made to day, has popua-
ton OF l4,200, and as there was no population on
the site OF the city in 1880 the percentage of in
crease is assumed by the census bureau to be
precisely the same as the population total. The
census officials go further and volunteer the
prediction that if the city enjoys a similar rate
of growth in the next ten years the twelfth cen

lady who lately fired at her faithless husband
and was prevented from killing him only by the
interposition of a simple button, which stopped
the bullet, was guilty of conduct which deserved
punishment. French magistrate, however.

deserving of sympathy, and refraning from
cautioning her against the ACCESSIBILITY of taking
the law into her own hands Certainly the wife
told pi iful tale. Her husband is a COMPARE
lively wealthy man, but he turned her AMI her
daughter out of doors, refused to contrib
ute to their support. and allowed certain
female friends of his to send them some com
mon bread as an eleemosynary dole of the satir-
ical order, A climax, however, was reached
from the French point of view, when he allowed
himself to be subjugated completely as his
wife stated in court, by Prussian. Perhaps
this statement made a deep impression on the
worthy magistrate, who is probably patriot
and he was thereby induced to go out of his
way in order to express sympathy for one who

The MECHANISM Of the presidential election
in the Argentine Republic works is as follows:
The president is elected for six years, and is
installed on Oct. H. the anniversary of the dis
covery of America. The last year of a presi-
dental term is one of elections. On Feb IL are
renewed third part Of the senators and depu-
ties Of the national congress- which will saw the
last word in the election of the new President

ince the election of electors of the second de-
gree, who, being chosen outside of the members
of congress, and in double their mum Der for each
province, meet on June II TO designate the can
dldate for the presidency who has their prefer
ence. These delegates accomplish this oper-
alton in the capitals of their respective prov
inces, and designate the president and vice
president by means of signed personal bollots
which are delivered to the legislature of 1.-THE
province. and then sealed and transmitted to
the president of the national congress who
opens and examines them in the pres nee of a
quorum co nposed of at leasl two-thirds of the
members Of that assembly. In case a candidate
has secured an absolute majority for eth r
office he is Immediately nominated by Congress:
if, on the other hand, no candidate has an abso-
Lutte majority, congress selects among those
who have received most votes, aud in a single
session appoints president and vice president
