take on a load of 900 bushels of grain
here and go to Buffalo, and the running
expenses of either boat will be less than
incurred by the old-fashioned carriers of
twenty years ago, that had all they could
take care of in load of 25, 900 or 80, 900
bushels. The evolution in marine archi-
lecture on these lakes has been something
remarkable. Where in former years they
launched ten schooners for every one
steamboat the order is now reversed.
The schooner in twenty years hence will
be an obsolete institution. Steam has
almost wholly supplanted canvas. Steam

enter largely into the construction of the
mercantile marine of the United States,
says a writer in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Since this change the use of metal in
ship-building has greatly increased, and
in vessels propelled by steam has prac-
tically usurped the place of wood. 1t
has extended over the transatlantic,
transpacifc, and coastwise trade to our
own lakes, and the network of rivers and
canals, whose ramifcations extend the
advantages of water transportation over
great area of the United States.
1t has been said that the change from
wood to metal was not good one; that
stout oak would withstand a greater
strain than steel, and that wooden
vessel on rocky reef would live longer
than ship constructed of iron or steel.
Without touching the relative merits of
material used in the construction of the
bulls, the purpose of this article is to
show to what an extent, in architecture,
the boat of the lakes differs from that Of
deep and tide water.

TRE Dahl process of preserving milk
by sterilizing it and excluding atmos-
pheric germs is stated to have come
into use only in Norway, but efforts
are now being made to introduce it into
England. In this process fresh milk is
placed in cans, which are Theoretically
sealed and then alternately heated and
cooled until every organism or germ is
supposed to have been destroyed. Milk
thus treated may be kept in the un-
opened cans for an indefinite period,
and has been found after three years
to have the taste and appearance of the
best fresh milk.

Paganini and the Cahman.

The celebrated violinist, Paganini,
had once to give concert at the Carlo
Fellce in Genoa, and being late, he
drove in cab. On alighting he offered
the usual fare to the cabman, who re-
fused it, saying that great man, who
was able to play as well on one string
as on four, ought to give him at least
double the fare.

HELENA, Mont, Special Telegram, Nov.

OF Idaho Falls, Idaho, under the desert
land act.
Special Agent Tyner, of the land depart
ment, suspecting that the land was being
taken up for speculative purposes, investiSa-
ted. He found that entries were being
made by Eastern parties who had been in
duced to file on claims by Denver syndi-
cate.
1t is alleged that parties of Eastern peo-
pie were taken to Idaho Falls on special ex-
cursions and then taken by wagons across
Snake river to some high point where the
view is unObstructed for twenty miles. Par
ties then go the land office, ana make affi-
davit that they had visited each tract upon
that each person visit the tract en-
tered upon and swear that the land
is not taken up for speculative pur-
poses. 1t seems that the provisions
have been ignored, and the special agent
thinks he can have all such entries cam
celed.

A Fargo-Jersey divorce Case.

Chicago Tribune's Passaic IN. j. Special:
No little surprise was caused in this city by
disyatch from Fargo, N. d., announcing
that Mrs. Rowland. the wife of Rev. Will-
lam Rowland, rector of st. Johns Episco-
pal church in this city, has secured di-
vorce from her husband, awarding her the
custody of their bright little six-year-o
daughter and alimony of S., 800 year. The
pastors salary is but 81, 500. How he can
be expected to pay the alimony set by the
far-away court no one knows. Mrs. How
land is the daughter of Mrs. Henry OF
Flushing, L. l., and was married to Rev.
Mr.. Howland ten years ago. With tastes
that led her to parties and all gayeties
rather than church work, she steadily drift
ed away from her husband. Her temper
brooked no opposition, much less control.
In April, after period during which she
would neither sit at the table with him nor
come to his room, she left him altogether.
He had refused to cooperate with her in
her determination to secure a divorce,
but when Brooklyn lawyer came here
and proposed a separation he agreed to an
arrangement of that nature. Not satisfied
with this, she has now secured divorce.

THURsToN's OPINION.
Of-Year Apathy and the Mckinley Bill
Causeh the UnheaYRL


CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Hon. J. n. Thurston,
the president of the Republican League
clubs of the United States arrived this
morning from Omaha, fresh from the Ne
braska campaign. In response to the query
as to what were the causes which lea up to
the recent political upheaval in Nebraska
nd elsewhere, Judge Thurston said:
Several causes led to the so-called defeat, viz:
he apathy OF an OFF year i'll politics ana the
principal thing among voters being the Mckln-
ley bill. The natural tendency OF prices were
upward, among which can be named boots and
shoes. iron, lumber and other commodities al
though the tax was reduced upon these and
other commodities Theorists endeavored to
explain, but nobody knows why. We struck a
rising market with the passage of the Mckinley
bill. and all OF this is laid to 1T.
Nebraska has not gone Democratic. as the ell
tire Republican state ticket is elected except the
election OF Boyd for governor. Boyd ran 5000
votes ahead of his ticket in Omaha, on the pro-
hibtion ISSUE and had Richards received his
party vote IN Omaha he would have been
elected OF course the Farmers ALI
ance is just now at the height
of its power. 1t is organized and
bound together as closely as any secret organi-
vote. l think there win be revival of stalwart-
ism in the Republican party, such as to make
1892 the coming presidential election year, a
great Republican year.
The Republican workers all over the country
did not take an active part in this campaign
just passed. They felt as though their services
to the Republican party had been undervalued.
But In 1892 these persons will be at work In
support OF some candidate who will arouse en-
thusiasm, and these very men will lead to vic
tory as heretofore. The result of the recent
elections has not put all end to the presidential
chances OF either William Mckinley or Thomas
B. Reed, but it has probably postponed their
dates. Bla ne or Alger would be winners at the
head OF the ticket in 1892.

AN OFF YEAR.
MIR. Bayne's Opinion as to the Cause Of
the Democratic Victory.

Mr.. Bayne's Opinion as to the Cause Of
the Democratic Victory.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-RepresentatiVe
Bayne of Pennsylvania, who helped frame
the Mckinley tariff bill as member of the
ways and means committee, is in Washing
ton. He says that ignorance and misrepre-
sentation were great factors in the election,
but the cause of the Democratic victories
was the fact that this is an ''off year." The
federal election bill, he said, had an effect
secondary only to the off-year cause, while
presentations about the new tariff
led to produce unfavorable results in
Republican districts. There is no likeli-
hood of the Republican party undoing
what it has done in the way of consistent
revision of the tariff simply because that
revision has been misunderstood. Said
Col. Bayne:
In the next congress the Democrats will be
tumbllDg over each other with free trade propo-
sitiOns. The senate, with small Republican
ma jority, will be looked upon as buWark
answer the purpose in every instance. The votes
OF certain Western senator's on the Mckinley
bill makes that fact clear.
A number of Democratic congressme en-
who will not be members of the FiGty-sec-
ond congress have announced themselves
as candidates for offices at the disposition OF
the house. Congressman Lawler, the de-
eated Democratic candidate for sheriff OF
Cook county, H., will be candidate for
sergeant-at-arms Of the house. John Quinn
Of New York is being pushed for the house
Clerkship. Other congressman have here
tofore announced their candidacy.

A THRILL OF HORROR,
All England Shocked at the Revelation.
Made by Bonny,

LONDON. Nov. 1.-THE story told by
Bonny has caused a thrill of horror
throughout England, and the sentiment is
generally expressed that, while Stanley is
vindicated as against the charges of Bartte-
lots relatives, he and his surviving associ-
ates should long ago have told the whole
truth, in the interest of justice and human
ity.
The Daily News says that if Bonny is a5lc
to substantiate one-tenth of what he has re-
lated Stanley will be completely JUST fed,
and it will only remain to ascertain the
precise moment when Barttelot became
raving mad.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that Mr.. STAN
ley will prosecute Walter Barttelol and
others who have brought charges against
him in connection with the controversy re-
garding the rear guard OF the Emin relief
expedition. Mr.. Stanley has retained Mr..
George Lewis and Sir Charles Russell to
conduct his case.
