About the cutting of our forests and
the gradual extinction of the lumber sup
ply in this country there are theories and
theories. Some persons pooh-poo the
idea that our forests should, or could even.
ever become extinct and others have been
predicting wood famine for 10, these
many years. We remember when boy
hearing Sheriff Samuel ". Miller then a
large lumber dealer in Salem county, say
he thought it probable that some of his
boys might live to see the day when the
lumber supply of Salem county would be
unequal to the home demand, but now
after the lapse of many years, thirty and
over, the supply appears about the same
with the demand multiplied several times
over.
A leading lumber dealer of New York
State said the other day that the supply of
timber, like the demand, was practically
inexhaustible. The only peril, he declares,
is from fires, and this might be lessened If
more stringent regulations regarding the
starting of fires by sparks emitted by loco
motives were enforced. The cutting of
trees he thought an act in accordance with
nature, which as soon as destroyed are
supplanted by others.
He puts this as his idea OF the timber
supply for this country in the face of the
acknowledged fact that New York city
alone secured /, 500, 900, 900 feet of lumber
last year as its share of the demand.
Oar natural forests, still undenuded OF
their trees cover from 30, 600, 900 to TO-
O0O, 600 acres, and their continued existence
is of very great importance TO the people
Of the whole country.
In the first place it supports and main
tains system of natural irrigation and
water supply, retaining the moisture OF
the country within its limits and allowing
the safe and gradual escape OF mountain
streams which in timber denuded coun-
try would otherwise swell into torrents
with every heavy rain) aud expend their
moisture in narrow channels and at irregu-
lar intervals.
For another thing the honest, indus
trious settlers in the West need this timber
for building purposes and its reckless
waste jeopardizes the interest OF the future
growing towns of the West by obliging
the residents in the future to import their
timber from long distances and at large
expense for home consumption.

Votes or yeirs,

Every terrible prediction which men now
utter of the bad effect on women of voting,
would oe TO day made in all Mohammedan
countries if it was proposed to let women
walk unveiled in the streets. 1t would be
argued that it was the nature OF woman to
stay at home; that all modesty would dis
appear if her face was seen in public; that
she would become loud-voiced, rude, yul-
gar, if she talked familiarly with the men
in public assemblies, and sat by the side of
strangers with uncovered face. 1t would
be said that her indirect, unseen influence
on society through her husband and sons
was far greater and better than any she
could exert directly. How many Moham-
medan predictions would be made of the
awful consequences to woman of leaving
off her thick veil. And yet do not sup
pose that our ladies, who are seen every
where in public, are any less feminine, re-
fined, and pure than the women of Egypt

EYergreen Nurseries.

Of Evergreen, Wis, claims to be the
largest nursery of the class in America.
1t now contains several millions OF small
eyergreens, comprising some fifty earie-
ties, and about the same number of orna-
mental trees and towering shrubs. These
nurseries now serve about three thousand
customers annually. whose orders range
all the way from one dollar to one thous-
and dollars or more each. 4 stcnographer
and typewriter is employed for the cor
respondence. During the digging and
packing season twenty-five to thirty men
are employed and about fifteen to twenty
are required to take care of the trees dur
ing the growing season. These nurseries
are making speciality of plants Tor ever
green hedges. and have several millions
ready for sale, of three or four of the most
popular varieties. Their prices on tree
seedlings are much below any others we
have seen. 1t will pay any of our readers
thinking OF planting an evergreen hedge,
or any other ornamental trees or shrubs,
to send a postal card to these nurseries
asking for their catalogue.

The solution of the woman problem
seems to be that a woman can do whatev-
er she can. Girls on the prairies of Dako-
| ia and Montana are now living alo he, in
isolated cabins mile from humanity, and
yet are they safer in all respects than in
large Eastern cities. These plucky home
steaders spend whole summers alone on
their claims, and neither fear nor have
cause to fear the least intrusion. Such
absolute freedom from all restraint is sell
dom enjoyed by anybody; but here it is
fact and no mistake. True, it is little
lonesome at times, but when the girls are
in pairs, one can ride. walk, run, saunter,
wear old clothes, a sun-bonnet, OF hat, can
sing, shout, carol. trill. chant in seven oc-
taves, and nobody to complain about it.
They are free and light-hearted, of course,
and the very picture Of rosy health. Most

New York Capitalists Buy Up

Upwards Of Three Million Dol.

improvements.
A Railroad Track. Between
Fifth and Sixth Gets, as
Far as Broadway,
On Either Side of Which Huge
Manufacturing Houses
Will be Built.

For several weeks the realty men of st.
Paul have been discussing the meaning
of the big transfers IN Kittson's addi-
ton. Latterly the public have become
interested in the large deals which were
being reported, but not until last
Sundays GLOBE appeared were the
real facts known. An application was
made Saturday evening before the
council committee on streets which dis
closed the whole thing. A brief out
line was given in Sundays GLOBE.
Additional evidence is given this morn
ing, with a diagram illustrating the
great improvements by which that por-
ton of the city lying between Broad
way and the bluff will be transformed
into huge business district. Let it be
observed that this is no railroad
deal. 1t is true that many prominent
railroad capitalists are connected with
the syndicate interested in the pur-
chase and improvement of this property,
but the scheme is distinctly and en-
tirely outside the jurisdiction Of any
railroad. What is proposed to be done,
and who are the prime movers in the
deal, is here untOlded to the public:

A combination of wealthy New York
capitalists was formed several months
ago, headed by Henry Willard. j. D.
Rockefeller (of the Standard OLD, and
c. L. Colby president of the Wisconsin
CentraD. The syndicate was formed to
buy up the whole of the Kittson
addition lying between Broadway
and Brook street, and bounded
by Fifth and Sixth streets, for the pur-
pose of making it into a wholesale dis
trict. The feasibility of such a plan
was first mooted by James r. McMur-
ran, the Well-knOwn realty man, who
got the ear of Chief Counsel Nc
Naught, of the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Mcknight brought the mat
ter to the attention of New York
capitalists, hence the combination. Lit
tie difficulty was experienced in doing
this. The location of the property
demonstrated its value and the excellent
investment which it afforded.
The greater portion of Kittson's addi
ton has been secured, and in due time
the rest of the property will have been
transferred. 1t has been decided to lay
two tracks-there will be eventually
three trackS-up the alley way between
Fifth and Sixth streets, and on either
side huge warehouses will be erected.
This railroad will be laid twenty feet
below the level of the street grade.
Steel span bridges will be erected at
each street. the whole expenditure to
be incurred by the laying of the railroad

Cured in this city was the death by
drowning last evening of Hon. p. A.

inent boot and shoe dealer of this city.
Late yesterday afternoon they went to-
gether to the Minnesota river, just be-
low the mouth of the Blue Earth,
for bath. Neither returned at night,
but as they had no families their alb
sence excited no surprise until late this
forenoon, when inquiries were made
and some doubts as to their safety were
expressed. A search along the river at
noon resulted in the discovery of their
clothing neatly piled upon the bank at
the point where they entered the stream.
The alarm was given, and scores Of
men Immediately turned out to drag tho
river for their bodies. The EOdy of Mr..
Lind was found about 3 o'clock nearly
half mile from where the clothing
was found. No trade has yet been dis
covered OF the body of Mr.. Foster. 1t
is presumed that one of the men got be-
yond his depth, and that the other went
to his rescue, and both went down to-
gether. A diiigent search is being kept
up for the boGy of Mr.. Foster. The ac-
cident has cast deep gloom over the

Survivors of Burned Bark Nord-
cap Are Rescued.
New YORK, June 3O.-The bark
Athenic, which arrived here last night
from Windsor, n. S., had among It's
crew two seamen, Henry Williams and
George Walker. who were part OF the
crew of the Norwegian bark Nordcap,
which was burned at sea on the morn
ing of June 9. The Nordcap left La
guna. West Indies, May 6. with cargo
of cotton AMI cedar wood. She was
commanded by Capt. Nielsen, and had
a crew of nineteen men. On June z,
when off the Grand Banks, on her way
to London and Christiana, she encoun-
tered very rough weather. A fierce gaze
knocked her about during that day and
night. A high sea boarded the vessel,
smashed the wheel house and swept one
of the crew overheard. Onthe morning
of the night Second Officer Orlotf dis
covered fire among the cotton III the
hold. The crew was aroused and fought
herolcally against the spread OF the tlre.
Flames shot upward and enveloped the
rigging and masts. The yard arm OF
the mizzen mast fell and killed two of
the crew. The flames rapidly spread,
and the captain realized the hopeless
ness of longer fighting against it. He
gave orders to clear away the boats:
Just then the mizzen masts fell and
knocked three of the crew into the sea.
The others finally got away i'll the boats,
and were adrift for four days. when
they were finally picked up by the Nor
Wegian bark Agatha, from London for
Bau Verte.

SUCCUMBED TO THE HEAT.
Forty Deaths From Sunstroke in
Chicago.


CHICAGO, June 30.-The number Of
deaths from direct cases of sunstroke
and causes due to the heat is largely
in excess of that reported in
the papers. Az the office of
the coroner. this morning, the scene
was busy one. The clerks were kept
busy attending to death announce
ments over the telephones, while the
coroner and his deputies busted them
selves preparing for the inquests looked
for to-day. At 9 o'clock this morning
over forty entries of deaths caused by
the heat were made in the coroner'S as
signment book, and when the day is
over, the coroner and his men will have
held inquests in various parts OF the
city from the Indiana state line to the
northern boundary, and from the lake
to the western boundary of the county.
The mercury at noon was over so, but
it is announced that cool wave, eX
tending from Texas to Canada. is
steadily sweeping Chicagoward. and
will, when it arrives, drive the mercury
down close to 70 deg.
CINCINNATI, o., June 30.-The torrid
weather continues with the mercury at
go. At this hour there is a gentle breeze
from the west with indications of rain.
Cases of SunStroke are reported, two Of
which were fatal. George Wirch eX
pired at the corner Of Gest and Berlin
streets at $3.50 O'clock and Clinton Sey-
mour was found dead in his room at 81

anywhere from s25O,O00 to 100000. The
value of such a railway to the whole
salers and warehOusemen is ineStlma-
BILE. At a modest estimate the saving
would be S300,000 per annum.
There is no gainsaying the earnest
ness of this mOneyed syndicate. That
they propose to carry out this stupen-
dOus undertaking is assured. Already
they have expended 100000 in the pur-
chase of property. and before the whole
of it is bought, the railroad laid, the
bridges built and the warehouses erect
ed upwards of $3,0O0,000 will have been
expended.

GAME WILL BE THIRD.
The Cheeky Dissidents Canvass
Will Kill Him.

LONDON, june 30.-As the time for
the Barrow-in-Furness election ap
proaches the fight grows hotter and
party lines are drawn tighter. Any
hopes that the friends of Mr. Game
may have entertained of Liberal sup
port of their candidate have wholly dis
appeared, and the prospects that the
Tories will win the seat are Frightening
hourly. Lord Randolph Churchill has
contributed large measure of assist
ance to the Conservative candidate,
both by speeches and advice to
the election committee, and will
probably make another speech in
his favor to = morrow. William
O'Brien delivered powerful speech in
behalf of the Liberal candidate, Mr..
Duncan, tonight. In the course of his
remarks he dWelt upon the colossal as
surance of Mr.. Game. in asking the sup
port of the Liberal electors while his
treachery to the Liberal party and his
insults to its leaders were yet fresh in
the minds of the people. 1t is undenl-
able that the bitter personal attacks
which Mr.. Game, while in his place
among the leaders of the Unionist
party, made upon his former friends
have aroused his enemies and the entire
Liberal press to almost unanimous sup
port of Mr.. Duncan. The probabilities
now are that Mr.. Caine will be third in
the triangular contest.
