A RICH Australian widow, with an in
come of S125,000 a year, is the fashion
able sensation in London. Her story
illustrates what can be got out of a sill
yer mine in New South Wales. The
lady's husband paid e120 for certain
shares in this mine. When he died,
not long ago, the shares were compar-
atively %valueless, and he thought he
was leaving his young wife in destitu-
ton. Shortly after his death the shares
rose suddenly to a price so marvellous
that the widow sold one-half of her
shares for 100000 and is now receiv-
ing e25, 900 annually from the other.

After Six of the Crew Have Lost Their
Lives the Bark Nordcap Burns at Sea.
New YORK, June 30.-News reached
here to-day Of the burning at sea, on
June 9, of the Norwegian bark Nordcap,
from Laguna, West Indies, with
cotton and cordwood. The voyage was
disastrous from the start. On June 7
the vessel was struck by a gale, and one
of the crew of nineteen drowned.
Two days later the vessel
was on fire. While the crew
was trying to extinguish the flames, the
yard arm of the mizzen mast fell and
killed two men. The flames rapidly
spread, and the captain realized the
hopelessness of longer fighting against
it. He gave orders to clear away the
boats.
Just then the mizzen-mast fell and
knocked three of the crew into the sea.
The others finally got away in the
boats, and were adrift for four days,
when they were finally picked up by
the Norwegian bark Agatha, from Lon
don for Bau Nerte.
The bark Athenie, which arrived
here last night from Windsor, n. S.,
had among its crew two seamen, Henry
Williams and George Walker, who were
part of the crew of the Nordcan.

INDIANS MUST co TO SCHOOL
A Compulsory Education Law for the
Red Man.


Red Man.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 80. The
Senate has passed a bill which is of
particular interest to Wisconsin people.
1t provides for the compulsory educa-
ton of Indian children. The secretary
of the interior is directed to have a
census taken of the Indian children
between the ages Of S and IS years, and
require the attendance of each child at
school for at least five years. Industrial
boarding schools are to be estab-
lished on every Indian reservation
where there are more han 500
Indians, and the children from the
smaller reservations are to be
SEM to the schools on the nearest
larger ones. The children are 70 be
taught useful labor in addition to read
ing, writing, arithmetic and other rudi-
mentary branches, The boys are to be
instructed liz agricultural pursuits and
some mechanical trade for which they
shall show the greatest aptitude, and
the girls are to be instructed in house
work, the care of poultry, and other
employnents suitable to their sex.
Such a bill has been reported favorably
from the Indian committee of the
House and is now on the calendar, so
that it is likely to become a law if it is
reached before the END of the session.
