The Sad Death of n Young sportsma
In Maine.


A special correspondent telegraphs
from Greenville Junction, Me-, un-
der date July 90: News reached
here this afternoon of n frightful ac-
cident which occurred early this
morning about twenty miles above
in the wilderness around Moosehead
lake, causing the instant death of n
young New York sportsman. A
guide, Peter Coyne, brought the sad
Intelligence. a party with
the body is coming down
the lake in canoes, and IL
expected some time during the
night. 1t seems that several days
ago II wealthy New York family
named Armistead arrived at Kinco;
the father, mother and three sons
composing the party. They had
laid their plans for an extended
summer outing in the wilder
ness and engaged two of the best
guides to accompany them. They
started from Keno last week with
the prospect of delightful season.
They had had no acquaintances at
Kieno, but all the guests were at
tracted by the devotion exhibited by
each member of the family toward
the others, and the sojourners here
were panied beyond expression to.
day when they learned of the cad
accident that had overtakcn them.
The guide says that this morning
when the family was breakfasting
in camp one of the boys, about Is
years old, who had been waiting

annoyed Mt the slowness with which
they We're being served by the
guides. He complained that their
trip would be delayed unless more
haste were exhibited. AS his COM
plants had no effect, he pushed
away from the rude table with the
intention Of helping himselft to some
coffee which was in a pot by the
camp fire. The limited space In the
camp caused some crowding and
his Winchester rifle was in his way
as he arose. He reached to lift 1t
from the floor and clear the space
before him. In doing so the ham
mer caught upon II knot in a log and
instantly exploded with fearful eff
feet.
Young Armistead fell to the floor
with the blood streaming from his
face, and his parents and brothers
started in horror from their seats ut
the shocking sight. Only the guides
had the presence of mind to realize
what had happened, aud they lifted
the bleeding body carefully to
see II life remained and to
check the flow of blood. Life
had departed. The grief of the fam
lily is described as something pain
full. Examination showed that the
ball had entered at the side of young
Armistead's head, passed directly
through and came out at the back of
his neck, causing instant death.
The guide was Immediately sent to
the nearest telegraph station and an
undertaken summoned from here,
who will proceed Especial boat and
meet the remains Mt Deer Island.

THE WARM SPRINGS
Rich Strike and Repeated Sale
Arc Making Lively Tines
in the Camp
An Era of Development HIS Be-
gun That Promises Much for
the Future.

A gentleman who has just arrived
from Kootenai lake Informs he RE-
VIEW that things are booming in
the Warm Springs camp. fhe re-
ce mt sail of the No. |, United and
other adjoining properties br about
$40, 900 cash have been foihwed by
several other sales to Eastern people,
and preparations are being made to
open up a dozen mines on u large
scale. The wagon road which Is
being constructed from Ahsworth
to the Krso, No. l and Skyline
claims is rapidly progressing, under
the management of Mr. A. ID.
Wheeler, and Is now completed to
the Little Donald. This gives an
opportunity to the miners o trans
port their ores at low cos to the
lake.
A public sampler, with concen-
traitors attached, will prbably be
put up this fall, and the Rvelstoke
Smelling Company propose to es-
tablish an ore purchasing ,gency In
the town of Ainsworth vTy soon.
If the Canadian Pacific flush their
line from Sproot to Nelson, 1t is es-
timated that from 800 to 1000 tons
of ore, some of 1t high gade, will
be shipped TO Revelstoke tbs season.
Mr.. 4. ID. Wheeler seems likely
to discover new wonders II his Sky
line mine. Last week, 1t is re-
ported, he ran into a boly of sui
phurits of silver and ruby silver
FULLY three feet in thicknss, which
assays from S., 900 to $1,000 per ton.
He now has u large quantity of ore
sacked for shipment, of which the
sack samples run from 100 to 600
ounces of silver per ton.
Mr.. Adrian, who bondd the Sun
light mine a few weels ago for
about $1,000, was on lis way in
from st. Paul prepared to take up
the bond. Mr.. Jausen, of Victoria,
had a bond on one halfDf the Glen
garry, and Is now in the camp to
complete the q. transaction. The
FOURTH" a mine only discovered
two weeks ago, which has II twelve
foot vein, aud assays up into the
hundreds, is held at $4,000 cash,
and it is reported that there is like
lihood of a sale being made. If the
Northern Pacific build their line
from Kootenai station to Bonner's
Ferry, and the Canadian Pacific get
their short line finished to Nelson,
the Warm Springs camp will be one
of the liveliest camps on the Pacific

ABOUT THE uoLLYHoCK.
This Beautiful and Interesting Flower
Has Been Known Since 1878.


Has Been Known Since 1878.
OF all our summer flowers none
can compare ia stntoliness with the
hollyhock. If the rose is queen,
then this digniied and command
ing plant is her chief marshal In the
border. Rising each year from its
green base, it attains early in July n
height of from six to eight feet, and
begins to open along its fine rosette
stem the beautiful flowers which
add so much to the brightness Of
our gardens. Their colors are very
pure, ranging all the way from
white to the darkest crimson, and
including some fine shades of yell
low. On the whole the single and
half-double ones are the most pic
turesquc as they are the most deli
cate, though the massive blossoms
of the very double ones convey more
fully the idea of masculine strength.
When full grown, in strong soil the
plant will reach height of eight or
nine feet, and Is of royal appearance
indeed.
The hollyhock, as every one
knows, Is one of the oldest inhablt-
ants-our grandmothers knew II
well. 1t has, I'm fact, been In use In
Europe since 1873, when IL WAS in
troduced to occidental gardens from
its old home in China. Though,
strictly speaking, n biennial, the
hollyhook (althp rosea) may, by at
tentlon to drainage, winter cover
ing, etc, and especially by the divi-
sion of the root, be made to continue
indefinitely. 1t needs deep soil to
do its best, for IL Is u strong feeder
and doesn't mind all the sunshine
you can spare, so long AZ you keep
its feet cool and moist The greater
enjoyment of the flower comes prob
ably to those who raise II from the
seed of blooms fertillled aud crossed
by the bees i'm their own gardens.
The innumerable surprises which
come from such seed are source of
interest which few perhaps compre-
hend who have not tried the expert
ment. Those proposing to do 30
should lay the foundation by SOW
ing the best seed procurable-both
single and double. Chater's strain
of the latter Is still unrivaled. Sown
In garden loan In March or April,
the young plants will be large
enough to transfer into permanent
positions by September. A shovel
full of sand placed around them be-
fore winter closes in Is Of great
benefit, preventing a tendency TO
rot about the stem in early spring.
The plants will flower the second
year from seed. The seeds from
these first blooms, being carefully
ripened and planted in the same
way, will afford great many
novelties If the collection is ut all
numerous.

which was purely social one, the

as he was about to drop into the
arms of Morpheus. He said:
"Our trip here has no significance
whatever. We have never visited
this charming city and surrounding
country before, and are simply here
as pleasure seekers, you might say.
From what we have been able to
see in our hurried trip through the
country, we are more than pleased
with the outlook. You certainly
have a very promising portion of
the globe staked off as Eastern
Washington"
"Then your trip has nothing to do
with railroad matters?"
"As have already said, our visit
to Spokane Falls has no significance
in the railroad line"

Venice, in fact, Is one vast mu-
scum of stolen property. A self
righteous inscription over the gate
way of st. Marks informs the vis-
itor, with much show of conscious
probity, that the four famous an
tique bronze horses above the portal,
removed by the rapadty of the en-
eny to Paris" under Napoleon L.,
were again restored to their proper
place by that incorruptible cham
pion of strict international morality,
the Emperor Francis. But the glo-
rlous team, u work of the sculptors
of the Neronian age, had previously
been stolen In the thirteenth century
by the Doge Dandolo from Constan-
tinople, whittier they had been car
ried from Rome, for his own giorifi-
cation, by Constantine the Great,
who had filched them himself from
the triumphal arch of Trnjan, who
In turn had borrowed them, as
seems probable, from the similar
monument of his predecessor Nero.
Such are the humors of the world
and the whirligigs of time. Indeed,
If every man had his own again,
one might almost say there would
be no Venice. The column of St.
Marks, with its winged lion, would
go back to Syria; the square pillars
by the doges palace would return
once more to ST. saba, at Ptolemais;
the alabaster supports of the inner
canopy would find their way back,
men say, to Solomon's temple; and
even the moldering body of the
evangelist itself, which reposes be-
meath its pail of gold and jewels be-
low the high altar, would have to
migrate to the community from
which 1t was first filched, the Coptic
Christians of Alexandria.

about 3 months. Mrs. O'Nleara, who

On awakening she was Mortified to find

The grief of the mother was terrible.
Her cries attracted her husband, who

found her pressing the little crushed
forms to her bosom and wailing piteous-
ly. Mrs. OMeara, suddenly throwing
the babies to the floor, sprang to her
dressing-case and grasping an orna-
mental dagger plunged 1t into he bosom.
She Is now in IA critical condition.

A NEW JUDO EsHIP.

Washington Special to Tacoma Globe. |
Some time since Judge w. H..
Calkins, now resident of Tacoma,
came very near being appointed
United States judge for the state of
Washington. All of the people of
Washington are perfectly well
aware of how he was defeated, and
how near he came to being selected.
Ii would not be strange if the defeat
of Judge Calkins at that time may
have been the best thing that ever
happened to him. Perhaps that
very thing will give him a higher
position. 1t may be that
there will be United States
circuit judgeship open for
him and with proper effort he may
be able to secure 1t. The Judiciary
committee of the senate are consid-
ering the advisability of creating IA
new judicial district. Senator
Dolph early introduced bill Great
ing district to be composed of
Oregon, Washington and Montana.
The admission of Idaho and Wyon-
ing will no doubt make 1t necessary
to include these states in this new
judicial district. 1t Is certain that
the senate committee Is likely to
create such II district. When 1t Is
made a judge will have to be ap-
pointed. 1t is possible that every
state will have II candidate. 1t
Is a certainty that Oregon will
surely have candidate. Ore
gon has been state long
enough to have number of states
men ready tor Office, and besides
they have naturally become more or
less qualified for the place. There
may be candidates in Idaho, Wyo-
ming and Montana, but it is be-
lieved that there are few names that
will strike the presidential ear as ia
miliarly as that of Judge Calkins,
and besides 1t would no doubt settle
somewhat the political disturbance
his defeat caused last winter. AS to
getting the support of the men out
side of Oregon that Is question for
the friends of Judge Calkins to set
tie. The recent appointment of an
Oregon man for one of appraisers of
customs, ana the consequent defeat
of a Washington man, ought to
throw the balance of patronage to-
ward Washington, and it is "a point
the Washington people should make
the most of, in case there should be
created an opening for the appoint
ment of u circuit judge.

FLOODED WITH WINE.

Cask of Old Sherry Found In the

"I haven't heard of any wine be-

especially the good luck of Captain
Tyler, of Winterport. While out
on q cruise he noticed cask, all
covered with barnacles, bobbing
along on the waves. He lowered a
boat and hauled the prize alongside.
1t proved to be cask of the finest
old sherry you ever tasted. Ropes
were attached and the precious dis
covery hauled on board, but IL then
became evident that the cask had
been tossing for years on the
sea; no sooner was the presence of
the water removed than the slaves
parted here and there, and the wine
began to pour out. A faucet was
hastily inserted aud demijohns,
pitchers, bottles, pans and basins
filled. The ships vinegar was thrown
away to utilize the keg, but In spite
of 1t all there was wine tospare. The
cask leaked more and more, and the
deck literally ran with the rarest
sherry.
"As soon as the cask was stood up
on end, however, after being
emptied, II collapsed completely,
and 1t was found that the slaves
were eaten down to half their orig.

almost as thin as paper"
"How was it," inquired the re-
porter with mouth still watering at
the thought of sherry dripping
decks, ''that the cask withstood the
waues so long in such a fragile con-
dition?"
Easily enough. The pressure of
the wine within formed sufficient
resistance to the waves without.

MINERS CONVENTION
1t Is Proposed to Hold One in Spo-
kane Falls During the Ex-
position.
All the Mine Owners Are En-
Enthusiastically in Favor of
the Scheme.

The management of the exposi-
ton have boon corresponding with
mine owners In the various mining
districts with reference to the feasi-
bility and advisability of holding q
miners convention In this city dur
Ing the exposition.
The management consider this
the proper time for u convention of
this character, as the exposition will
bring together the largest collection
of mining machinery ever seen at
any exhibition. There will be ex-
hibits from all sections of the United
States.
The cheap rates which have been
secured on all railroads will enable
the miners to attend at much less
expense than would be possible
under ordinary circumstances. The
exposition will bring together mine
owners, prospectors, capitalists,
speculators, manufacturers of min
ing machinery, In fact, every class
interested in the development of the
mineral resources of the country.
The scope of discussion at a con-
ventlon of this kind Is very broad.
First of all, discussion
of the necessity and benefit
of organization on the part of mine
owners, so that when important
questions of legislation, transporta-
ton and other matters of especial
interest to mine owners are to be
considered, they will be enabled to
voice their sentiments and look af-
ter their interests.
Another great advantage of such
convention will be that the
mining men will become
personally acquainted with
one another, and their
mutual exchange of views and
experience will result I'm great
benefit. They will be enabled to
meet the leading manufacturers of
mining machinery, and witness the
operation OF all the latest appliances.
They will be enabled to examine
specimens from all the leading
mines of the country, and to gather
n large amount of information
about the mineral resources of the
Northwest which could not be OBJ
tanned elsewhere.
ih"t t'iS tbiiS 10 IiBC Suth "
gathering of mine owners is evi-
denced by the numerous replies re-
ceived in answer to the letters sent
by the exposition management re-
guesting an expression of views.
The suggestions In relation To hold
ing miners convention have met
with enthusiastic and unqualified
approval on the part of all mine
owners addressed ON the subject.
V. Nj. Clements, manager of the
Bunker Hill Il Sullivan Mining
d Concentrating Company, writes
that such convention would prove
of great value to miners.
William King, of Murray, pro-
nounces the idea of holding "A
miners convention an excellent one,
and believes such convention
would not only prove of benefit to
miners, but would result I'm a more
speedy development of the mines.

Of Solomon, alluded to in the Koran end
found in the chronicle OF Tabari, which
Is to the following effect; Solomon en-
plOyed tha genii in building the temple,
but. perceiving that his end was nigh at
hand, prayed God that his death might
be concealed from the genii until the
work was completed, for Solomon knew
that If he died and the genii knew of his
death they would leave Off building.
Therefore he made himself a staff from
a tree in his garden, and, leaning upon
this staff, with his head bowed In adora.
tion, he died in the temple. His soul
was taken so gently from him that tho
body remained standing, so re.
naming for one whole year,
Those who saw him thought
he was absorbed in prayer and
they dared not approach him. Still the
genii worked night and day until the
temple was completed, thinking that
they were watched in every detail by the
master whose eyes had many weeks be
fore closed IN death. But during all this
time little white ants had been gnawing
at the staff, and when the temple was
finished, II long year after the death of
Solomon, the staff crumbled under his
weight and the body fell to the ground.
Mahomet alludes to this curious legend
in tho following (See Koran Sura
xxxiv.); When He (God) had decreed
that Solomon should die, nothing dis
covered death unto them Uhe genii) cx-
