A Curious Library.

one of the most remarkable set of books
Known to the bibliomaniac or botanist-
a library of 500 volumes, each abook
made Of different kind of wood. The
book of each volume is formed of the
bark of tree, the sides of the wood in
its mature state, the top of the wood as
taken when young, and the bottom Of
The same wood after it has been dried
and seasoned. When opened the book
is found to be without leaves, box
shaped, containing the flower. seed,
fruit and leaf Of the tree Of which the
box book is made. Australia is said to
have over ZOO species Of trees large
enough to work up into books after the
fashion Of those in the Cassel museum.
At the time OF the Melbou me colonial
exposition OF 1866 Col Clamp exhibited
a large collection of woods made into
books. each alphabetically arranged. and
labeled with both the common and the
scientific name of the species of wood
from which the dainty little wooden
volumes were fashioned. The collection

County Poor superintendent Lank-
ester yesterday went to Dayton, O., ac-
companied by James A. Stewart,
veteran soldier, whom lie took to the
National Soldiers Home at DAYTON.
Stewart was an inmate of that instl-
tuition until few months ago, when
he came home on a furlough. He
owns an acre or so of land in Algoma
township, which he rents out, but staid
there during his furlough.
He liked ms surroundings IN Algoma
so much better than the Soldiers
Home that he concluded TO stay and
mad longexceeded his furlough. Lately,
however, his near neghbOr began to be
frightened at signs of increasing mental
alteration. and complained TO Super

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, June 22.-The East
Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia road pas
senger train No. 8 was telescoped by its own
engine at 9:20 o'clock this morning at
Calera, and Ella West, a negro nurse, was

train and started for coal shute, about
three-quarters of a mile up the track.
DOUBLE CRASH.

could not be avoided he reversed his engine,
and, shutting off steam, jumped from the

DIFFERENTIATION IN FLORIDA.
Hunters Wiping Out the .Alligators
and Plumage Birds.

Hunters Wiping Out the Alligators
and Plumege Birds.
ORLANDO. FLA, June 22.-For years the
hide and plume hunters have been syste-
matically destroying the alligators and
aquatic birds Of this section for profit. A
few years ago every lake. pond and stream
was full of alligators. A tourist might now
spend half year in this state, and unless
he made persistent efforts he would not be
likely to see a wild alligator. The blue
heron is the only plume bird which Is not
nearly exterminated, and that is because
the bird is very wary and the plumes are
not very valuable. The water turkeys,
curlews, whoopingcranes and fish hawks
are spared because there is no profit in
killing them.
The destruction of the ibis and white
heron Is particularly misfortunate, because
one of their principal articles of diet Is
small snakes.
The determination Of the plume birdsand
alligators is so nearly complete that It is
not profitable to pursue them as constantly
as before, but enough will probably be
killed to keep them from increasing much.
This matter is attracting considerable at
tention, and it is possible that the legisla-
ture may do something for the protection
of tne birds

WHY HE DIFFERS.
REEDS NEW SCHEME.
The Silver Men to be Forced to Pas
the Election Bill.

The Silver Men to be Forced to Pass
the Election Bill.
WASHINGTON. June 22-Speaker Reed is
apparently going to mske the silver bill
wait on the federal election bill in the House.
He proposes to give from Tuesday to Satur-
day this week to the federal election bill.
and apparently proposes to make the silver
republicans, who comprise some of the
western men opposed to the federal election
bill, vote for it in order to secure what they
desire in the proposed compromise silver
bill. The silver republicans now insist that
they shall have not only the bullion redemp-
ton clause, but also the ten-year limit
stricken out of the House bill before they
will agree to it.
REED WILLING TO TRADE.
Speaker Reed, they understand, is will
ing TO make both concessions. The silver
republican senators are talking very loudly
In "no surrender" vein. Senator Teller,
for example, says that not only shall no
federal elections bill pass the Senate, but
no tariff bill, unless and until the House has
fair, square chance to vote on the free
coinage proposition. Secretary Blaine is
exerting his influence, such as it is, in favor
OF free coinage In the interest OF his silver
mine investments in Colorado. The Presi-
dent disavows Secretary Blaine's views on
this as well as on reciprocity. In both cases
PRESIDENT Harrison stands with Speaker
Reed and not with Secretary Blaine.

A LABOR SPLIT IN UNION.
The Central Union Drives Out the
Socialists.

New YORK, June ga split occurred
in the Central Labor Union to-day. The
socialist delegates withdrew and formed a
new central body, which will be known as
the Central Labor Federation. ADtici-
pating this action on the part Of the socialist
of the building trades section, passed
resolution denying them the right Of repre-
sentation in the original organization. The
war of words thus aroused was loud
and vigorous, and for a time it looked as
though the opposing factions would come
to blows. The progressives were called
ignorant foreigners, usurpers and nation
wreckers; while they in turn characterized
the conservatives as boodlers, scabs and
professional politicians, and dubbed the
hall "boodlers' hail."

MURDER NEAR JoNEsBORO.

A Dispute Over Game of Marbles
Costs a Negro His Life.
JoNEsBoRo, Ga, June 22.-At Morrow's
Station. five miles north of here, yesterday
two negroes, Dick Alexander and Budd
Cotton, were playing marbles, and a dis
pute arose about the game. Alexander
drew his knife and Cotton ran from him,
but the former followed him, and Cotton,
seeing that he was in danger, drew his
pistol and shot Alexander, from which he
died. Cotton skipped after he shot Alex-
ander, but returned after Alexander died.
Warrants have been issued and placed in
the hands of Sheriff Hutchison, but no
arrests have been heard of.
