Wonderful Strike of Silver,

WALLACE, Idaho, July 15.-The big
gest strike of silver ore ever made in the
Ceur d Alene mining district is report
ed to have been made in the Diamond
Hitch mine, just below Burke, within
the past few days. The ledge is five
feet wide, and the ore assays up in the
thousands. The mine is principally
owned in San Francisco by Liebes. The
strike was purely by accident, as the
ledge was considered to lie further north
from where it was encountered. It was
struck by a cross drift run for air. Very
rich specimens of native silver ore have
frequently been taken out of the mine
from small seams that were crossed, but
tho position of the main lode baffied the
miners. Over LOO feet of tunnels had
been run without finding a ledge, and
the owners were becoming discouraged.
Their good fortune is deserved. The
ore is dry, Of chloride character. and
much native silver is visible. Calvin
Wallace and George w. Dorwin, who
have visited the mine, say the ore is
wonderfully rich and that there is fully
FIVE feet of it, and perhaps more.

StanIey.Tennant Marriage.


LONDON, July 12.-The marriage of
Henry Stanley and Dorothy Tenant
took place to-day in Westminster abby.
Stanley showed the effects of his illness
with which he was attacked yesterday
and was compelled to use a stick to
assist him in walking to and from the
altar. The abbey was crowded with
friends of the bride and groom.
The ceremony was performed by the
Very Rev. George Bradley, dean at West
minister, Very Rev. Frederick William
Farrar, archbishop of Westminster, and
Rev. William Boyd Carpenter, bishop of
Ripon. The service YVES full OF chorals.
Great crowds congregated about the
abbey and loudly cheered Stanley and
Miss Tenant on their arrival.
Miss Tenants dress was of white
corded silk, trimmed with white satin
and embroidered with pearls and orange
sprays. She wore a miniature OF the
queen, which had been presented by her
majesty as a wedding gift. The repre-
sentative of the king of Belgium was
Stanley's best man. All the officers OF
StanleY's last expedition were present.
Stanley, who reached the abbey first,
rose up on the entrance of Miss Tenant
and the ceremony at once began. Dur
ing the ceremony he held beneath his
arm stick which he was compelled to
use for support while walking. After
repeating the service his voice was al
most inaudible, showing the results OF
his illness Miss Tenants voice was
clear and steady and only faltered as she
repeated the words, 'In sickness and in
health.
After the ceremony the platform,
which had been erected for the con-
venience of the guests, collapsed, and
several persons who were sitting oil
standing upon it were bruised.

soon on the scene and had water pouring
onto the flames, but not until the fire
was well started and flames coming out
OF the roof. The delay was caused by
the hose being fastened onto the wind
mill tank at the Hotel del Norte. Sew
eral minutes expired in climbing the
tower to cut it loose. Many Of the
guests lost nearly all their effects or had
them badly damaged by the water. Miss
Bessie Hodges and several of the girls
employed about the house lost every
thing except what they had on at the
time. M. Gears loss was about $4,000
with an insurance Of $3.50. The loss on
the building is $500 with an insurance
of $1,000.

RED WING, Mimi, July 14.-The most
destructive cyclone for many years &C.
cured in this state; starting about ten
miles west Of st. Paul.
Tt proceeded slowly in its general
movement, and first begun its work OF
destruction about three miles from the
Schirmeir and Good cottages by demol-
ishlng a barn and several wind mills.
After this it seemed to bound into the
air, striking the earth again near the
hamlet of Little Canada, where the first
serious damage was done. Then it
skipped place Of about one mile wide
and once again lowered TO the earth and
resumed its work of destruction, it's fury
eliminating near the shore OF Lake Gen
aise, where five deaths were caused
Once AGAIN the storm seemed to rebound
into the air, only to regain the earth
half mile further on, where the Goetzke
place and it's bruised inmates were left to
bear witness to its relentless power
Here its force seemed to be spent, and
as it proceeded eastward it assumed
simply the nature of high wind, ac-
companied by thunder storm.
All at once it seemed to double its
force, and swept over Lake Pepin, sweep
ing to death every unfortunate in It's
path. The storm first struck the lake
on the very spot where the steamer Sea
Wing, containing 200 passengers were
returning from an excursion to Red
Wing. OF that number only twenty
seven are known to be alive, and it is
certain that the number of deaths will
exceed $50, although the exact number
cannot be known for several days. AT
ten o'clock last night fifty-two dead
bodies were brought to this city and
more are constantly arriving. Patrol
boats have been busy all day with some
success.
Ninety seven bodies have been re.
covered up to o'clock tonight.

Introducing q Lectures.

Max O'Rell has published an amusing
letter about how the chairmen of lecture
committees introduced him in this coun-
try.
In general they are to be dreaded. One
Of the most monstrous is the chairman
who persists in making speech OF the
close of the lecture. The lecturer has
reserved q particularly telling point with
which to close. He speaks it impress
lively, expecting its effect on his audi
ence. He waits for the applause that is
the pleasant due of every worthy lee
turer. But lol at the moment when it
should come and sweeten the tired soul
of the speaker, up steps Mr.. Chairman
and announces to the audience the name
of the next lecturer, occasionally max
ing statement of the embarrassed fipan-
cial condition of the society, and appeal
ing to members to pay up.
Another terror to Mr.. O'Rell is the
chairman who opens the evening with
prayer. 81 would as soon think of say
ing. grace over glass of toddy as of
opening one of my lectures with prayer. "
Once after the prayer hymn of ten or
twelve verses was sung, which made
matters worse yet. Max's lectures are
humorous, and sad indeed was the effect
of his fun after that hymn and prayer.
"You may easily imagine that my first
joke fell dead fat"
Then there is the chairman who wishes
to show off his own knowledge of the
speakers topic. He will deliver whole
lecture himself before introducing the
speaker. 1t wearies the audience and
disgusts the real lecturer. Again, when
the chairman is wit it is not much
better. He is apt to take away the ap.
plause that the lecturer thinks belongs
to him, and make him feel small indeed
when he rises to follow the brilliant
chairman.
Far above all the rest, lecturers prefer
the silent chairman, him who simply an
nounces the speakers name and topic
and sits down. "He is very rare" says
Max O'Rell, s'but when met with is ex-
ceedingly precious. We all love him.
To the nervous he Is kind of support
to the old stager he is as a picture unto
the eve and as music unto the ear"

1t is proposed now to add another
story to the elevated trains that travel
upon stills through the streets of New
York and Brooklyn. The second story
trains will run about on level with the
fourth floors of buildings along the
streets. The nuisance of the SCI" trains
is almost unbearable now, and when the
principal streets are filled with dust and
scaffolding to the tops of the houses
those cities will be a sight to behold.

He Would Marry Her.


LONDON, July 13.-Just as the City OF
Rome was pulling up anchor to leave
Liverpool for New York to-day, Mrs.
Frank Leslie sent ashore the following
dispatch:
II am not engaged, but am starting
for home to-day to attend to my work
and prepare for my lecture season"
De LeuvilIe's attempt, this time, to
force Mrs. Leslie into marrying him was
actually sensational. The new superin-
tendent register of Hanover square, ST.
Georges district, was ready, with a Ii
cense, and waiting to marry them this
morning at 8 o'clock. When De Leu
vile went to Mrs. Leslie's apartments
IN the Burlington hotel, to his chagrin,
the marquis found that Mrs. Leslie's
trunks were on the hotel omnibus and
she was just starting for America. He
wanted to get into the omnibus with her,
but she would not let him, and he fol-
lowed her in hanson to Euston station
and went on the same train to Liverpool
Every time that Mrs. Leslie comes to
London De Leuville clrculates the report
that she came across the water expressly
to marry him. When she arrived a few
weeks ago he started the same story.
Mrs. Leslie promptly denied it, but this
time De Leuville went step farther
than usual by applying for marriage
Incense and sending preliminary notice
to the London papers to-day.
For years De Leuville's career in Lon
don has been full of discreditable adven-
lures with women who became infatu-
ated with him. His first escapade was
with sister of Nine Tussaud, of museum
fame, which was finally broken off by
the young woman's relatives. Since his
return home from New York, the mar
quis has been conspicuous for his open
affiliations with the wealthy widow of a
carriage maker. His persistent perse-
cution of Mrs. Leslie this season has
been more marked than ever.
A short time ago he gave a reception
at his apartments and was in straits how
| to decorate them. He sent to Liberty,
the celebrated art fabric dealer, for speci-
mems of his decorations, which he said
he wanted to purchase. These he spread
over his apartments in fine array just as
the guests had assembled. Then Lib
erty's man came along with an order to
take the goods away unless the marquis
purchased 500 worth The batied mar
quis purchased this amount tbf cash
and the goods were allowed to remain
over night. The marquis had previously
worked this game with success, but Lib
orty was too much for him the second
time

Prince Bismarck is Hostile.

FRANKFURT, July 15.-In an interview
to-day Prince Bismarck spoke very bit
terly in regard to what he called the
eowardice Of the German press. He de-
clared that never before had be been
asked for an interview by German
journalist. ''The Post and Cologne Ga
zette, he said, (which formerly were in
constant communication with me, now
fee from me as from pestilence. Z" He
expressed the greatest confidence in DR..
MIGUEL, who, he Believed, had nothing to
do with the emperor's labor edicts. He
himself had modified the original far
reaching draft of the decree of the en-
peror. He had also suggested the inter
national labor conference, hoping that
it would declare against workmen, but
in this hope he was deceived. Nobody
ventured to oppose or draw attention to
the danger of the DEGREES, which were
eventually passed without his vote or
counter signature.
