Only Five Mills Running Last Week and .
Large Decrease Is Shown.
The past week has been an exceptionally
dull n with the Minneapolis mills, but
there is q promise of better times for the
week to come. The aggregate output was

daily, against 1921 barrels the week be.

time in 1883 and 123. 400 barrels in 1888.
The dead condition Of the -four market,
together with the delay in letting the water
into the canal, caused the general dullness
at the falls. At noon Wednesday there
were but five mills running, grinding at
the rate of about $500 barrels per twenty
four hours. The Anoka mill increased
the figures to about 5000 barrels. Il is
not likely that the output will oe

Canada, Mexico, India and South

A SCIENTIFIC Englishman has pub
lished An elaborate paper demonstrat-
ing that the power Of our planet to
support vegetable and animal life is
gradually becoming exhausted; that the
vitality Of the planet is slowly devour-
ing itself, SO to speak. In the course Of
some millions Of years, according to
this authority, not only human life but
all other life will become extinct by
starvation. The pain produced by this
announcement is somewhat mitigsted
by the consideration that for some
thousands of years the farmer and the
fisherman will be the only aristocrats.

Moorish Wedding.

Upstairs, in q little tiny room, some
Of the usual sweet hot tea was prepared
for US by three radiant negresses. the
b~ridsgroom's mother and aunts.
We went down again, and we're intro
duced in the other open room, filed
likewise with squatting women, this
time friends and relations, some old,
some young, but mainly Of that indefin-
able age, vacant, weary, worn out.
At either end Of the room was q bed
in the slcove; the curtains Of one Of
them were raised, and we were adj
mitted to present compliments and
our silk kerchiefs to the bride.
On the bed, as on Q little stage. and
surrounded by two or three other wo-
men, sat the little bride, Q charming
pretty young creature of twelve OF
thirteen. She sat-with her en-
broidered vest and muslins spread out,
the hands folded, her face deliberately
painted under the eyes. above the eye
brows, and with . large black patch in
the middle Of . delicate rouged cheek
absolutely motionless, scarcely raising
her heavy black eyelashes, and family
smiling on us.
With her halo Of cause, her simmer
OF gold embroidery, beads and borrowed
jewels, she looked even more like o
miraculous Madonna than Nine. Hasan,
or like some wonderful enchanted
princess in Q pantomime. They ex-
planned that she was not yet completely
dressed, IS the woman who we to paint
her up had only just come. Accord
ingly we withdrew.
The curtain was withdrawn from the
bed, the woman seated on it drew Q
little to the sides, and the bride was
displayed in her glory.
She sat there, her legs folded under
her, her hands folded in her lap, her
head . very little inclined, like the
figures of Buddhs. A perfect breast
plate Of jewels. strings on strings of
beads. gold and pearls. glittered over
her vest;a long, delicate white veil was
spread over her back and shoulders; on
her head she wore q high tiara Of shin
ing embroidery, stones, and tinsel; and,
stfangest of all, upon her cheeks were
painted two elaborate triangular pat
terms Of red, black, and yellow, like q
piece Of chintz.
She was no longer the mere miracu-
lous Madonna, who. after oil, had some
thing human about her; and IS wc
turned away, through the twilight
which filled the white court, and the
chanting and drumming and cymbal
clashing became fainter, I felt ~ il /

ous half-living idol Of India.-New Re-

BECOMING VERY SPIRITED.

A Lively Contest for the Quartermastsr
Generalship Of the Army.
The contest over the appointment Of the
quartermaster general Of the army 10 be-
coming very active and interesting. Gen.
Halibird, the present quartermastel
general, retires June IL, and il will be
necessary to fll the vacancy as soon there
after as possible. Gen. Tompkins. the as
sistant quartermaster general, who is we'll
known in Chicago and the west generally
for his long sarvice there, stands at the
head Of the list and is the natural and
lineal successor, although some younRel
officers Of lower rank are pressing theiz
claims with great persistence. Unfortun-
ately for Gen. Tompkins he is Q democrat,
although he is not q politician and has
never attended . political meeting in his
life. Once only has he voted, and that
officer, In 1880.
Gen. Tompkins is the son OF Daniel
Tompkins, formerly senator from New
York and at one time vice. president of the
United States, and his democracy is in.
herited rather than acquired.
Same OF the opponents Of Gen. Temp.
kins are using against him an incident In
his experience that occurred many years
ago, which, although il resulted in a court
martial and q reprimand, did not injurs
him in the least in the estimation of hi.
superior and fellow officers. It occurred
in Arizona twenty years ago. At that time
the quar.ermasters Of the army we're given
specific allowances for various expendi-
turts 1t was necessary for them to make.
They had so much allowed them for the
purchase of hay, SO much for fuel, 30 much
for lumber, SO much for repairs, etc.
1t SO happened that during the winter Of
1871, which was unusually cold and severe,
the fuel Of the troops at q certain post was
exhausted early in the season. The mails
we're slow, the telegraph wires were down,
and Gen. Tompkins appealed repeatedly to
quartermaster ut Washington for further
allowances. No attention was paid to his
request, whereupon he cut the red tape
and spent some of his hay money for fuel,
but the mistake in the transaction was
that the citiz-ns of whom it was purchased
receiptei for hay when they furnished
wood. A count martial was ordered,
which reprimanded him for the tech
nical violation of the regulations
of the service, but found that the
offense was committed for the hes,
interests Of the troops. Gen. Crook was
in Command of the department at thai
time, and it was he who called the court,
and n of the last acts of his life was ia
write . letter to Gen. Tompkins saying
that it was not his wish but his duty thai
had led him to order this court and that be
believed Gen. Tomptins to have been
aotuatsd only by q desire to promote the
comfort Of his troops, and that he wss
guilty only Of cutting the red tape.
Gsn. Tompkins is recommended for the
appointment by Gen. schofeld and Gen.
Howard, and has their sctiv, assistance.
There is also on record In his interest very
strong endorsements from Gen. Sheridan
and Gen. Crook which cssc.oss bs without
their eject.
