Tenders, not a single one survived. They
were all killed on the spot or blew them
selves up by setting fire to a powder maya

suffered most. Two Europeans only were
killed and seven wounded"

BARRIE, Ont, June 6.-The most disas-
trous food that ever visited thus town took
place yesterday as a consequence of two
days heavy rain. All the streets in the
central portion of town we're submerged.
The principal business throughfares pre-
scented an awful sight last evening, the
water being fully two feet deep. Many
stores were flooded, and the streets in the
vicinity OF Five Points were washed away
to a depth of six to eight feet. The
chssm is fully fifty feet wide. The vast
body of water which rushed down from
the hills carried everything in its path to
the bay.
SoHoRBERG. Ont, June 6.-In conse-
quence Of the heavy rain yesterday and
the sweeping away of two large mill dams
this village sustained heavy losses. Bust
ness houses and private dwellings were
swept away by the food and many left
homeless and destitute.
GREENWOOD. Ont June The most
disastrous freshet ever known here oc
CURED last evening: -Four dams north Of

merged, cellars flooded, bridges carried
away and telegraph wires broken.
ORANGEvILLE, Ont, June 6.-The

great damage to railway and other prop
erty.

You want to keep your skin nice all
summer? Well, then, here are some
rules for you:
Don't battle in hard water; soften it
with a few drops of ammonia or a little
borax.
Don't battle your face while it is very
warm, and never use very cold water
for it.
Don't wash your face when you are
travelling, unless it is with a little alco-
hol and water or a little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remov dust with
cold water; give your face n hot bath,
using plenty of good soap, then give it a
thorough rinsing with water hat has
had the chill taken off it.
Don'trub your face with u coarse towel;
just remember /. is not made of cast
iron, and treat it as you would the finest
porcelain-gently and delicately.
Don't use a sponge or linen rag for
your face; choose instead a flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid of wrin-
kles by filling in the crevices with pow
der. Instead, give your face q Russian
bath every night-that is, battle it with
water so hot that you wonder how you
can stand It. and then a minute after
with coll y..ier that will make it glow
with warmtl, dry it with a soft towel
and go to bed, and you ought to sleep
like a baby, while your skin is growing
frmer and becoming free from wrinkles.

SULPHUR, KY, June GA sensation
with a female attachment is just now
making this little CITY culver with excite
meut. Frank McIlvain, cashie. of the
Sulphur Deposit bank, has skipped, and
it is thought that with him went a large
part of the banks funds. On the same
train Mrs. John Walker, wife of the
proprietor of the hotel at Sulphur, took
her departure. That McIlvain and the
woman are gone there is absolutely no
doubt. How much of the bank funds
kept them company no one knows now,
but the figures are estimated at SIC, 200.
bank was established by w. II. Mcllvaiu,
a wealthy citizen of Henry county. Nell
vain's son Walter, just home from Har-
ward, was made cashier of the institution.
All went well until a few months ago.
when it was noticed that the bank
cashier was paying too much atten-
ton to Mrs. Walker. wife of the hotel
proprietor. Gossip did a deal of whis-
pering. but there was nothing said
openly until last Friday when
, Mr.. Walker accused his wife
of in6delity and ordered her from the
house. She left, taking a train for Louis
vile. At La Grange she left the train
and waited a few hours. Here she was
joined by Young Mcllvain, and they went
to Louisville together. They were seen
in Louisville Saturday by an intimate
friend to whom McIlvain said he was
afraid to 90 back, as Walker had threat
ened to kill him. McIlvaln's father is
the wealthiest man in Henry county, and
Mrs. Walker was a daughter of a well-to-
do merchant of Sulphur. The detectives
are now at work on the case, and the
community of Henry county and Sulphur
is terribly upset. 1t is not known what
effect the escapade of the young cashier
may have on the bank. but the general
opinion is that if as much money is gone
as is believed it will break McIlvain's
father: Latham. Alexander & Co., of
New York. and the Louisville City Ma
tional Bank. of Louisville, are the Sui
phur Deposit Banks CORRESPONDENTS.

An excellent story is related of the
way in which that infie1ible disciplin-
arian, the young kaiser, was hoist with
his own petard in the person of one of
his children. The little prince was
rebuked for eating with his fingers, and
threatened that if he repeated the offense
he would be sent under the table, the
proper place for little boys who emulated
the habits Of dogs. After a brief inter
val of good behavior the offense was re-
peated and the culprit ordered to get I'M
der the table, where he promptly pro-
ceeded to undress himself, on the ground
that little dogs did not wear clothes
they only had skin.-London Globe.

There seems to be q craze fer red this
spring, and this lurid hue is observable
in many branches of my lady's toilet.
Red coats and jackets Of box cloth are
very fashionable for walking or driving;
red cloaks are worn over evening gowns
to ball or opera. l saw a girl on Twen-
ty-third street the other morning in a
gray gown with bright red gloves. The
most bizarre use to which it Is put Is in
stationery, the extreme being a heavy
paper of bright scarlet, upon which the
writer's name is engraved in a black fac
simile of her handwriting.
Black and red have always been held
to be the particular colors of Old Nick,
but the dear girls are determined he
shall not have the exclusive right to
them any longer. l saw a blonde at a
reception n evening in bright scarlet
tulle, scarlet hat and satin shoes. The
effect was startling. 1 think one will
see in New York more audacious and
bizarre combinations and effects in dress
than in any other city on the globe, and
yet we are always hearing Of the well
dressed New York woman.-New York

Indians Threaten Trouble.

SHAwANEo, Wis, June 6.-The In
dams on the Menomine and Oneida reser-
walton near this city threaten TO 20 on
the warpath because Of the appointment
as Indian agcnt of G. III. Kelsey, who
recently succeeded Thomas Jennings.
The government will be called on for
troops to protect government officials.
Jennings had great influence over the
Indians, and several councils of the tribe
have been held at which the Indians ex-
pressed confidence in him and oaid they
would refuse to permit the change of
agents, but no attention was paid TO their
threats. Last night Agent Kelsey was
compelled to fee from the reservation. as
the Indian police aud white employees
were powerless TO protect him. The
secretary of war has telegraphed the
adjutant general hat a call for troops
will be honored at any time, and develop
ments are awaited with great anxiety.
Fifteen thousand bucks armed with Win
chesters are on the ground.
MILWAUKEE. June 6.-The facts re-
garding the reported uprising of Indians
on the Menominee reservation are that
ex-Agent Jennings refuses to vacate the
agency, boiling that the property has not
been receipted for. He was, however,
suspended by Inspector Chesney. 1t is a
matter of current report that a conspiracy
exists to eject the government officials
from the reservation, that the Indians
will not hesitate to use force and that
there is a regularly organized plan for the
defiance OF the government. While In
spector Chesney will not say anything as
to the govern ent' intentions 10 the event
of Jennings refusal to v%acate. 1t is IN
derstood that troops are about to be called
to assist in expellipg the Stubborn agent.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The secretary
of the interior has received advices cor.
roborating the report that a white man
was recently murdered on the Tongue
River reservation in Montana by Northern
Cheyenne Indians. The settlers are
greatly alarmed aud troops have been or
dered dispatched to the scene to restore a
feeling of safety.
Reports received about the trouble at
Green Bay wisconsin, agency state 1t Is
owing to the hostility of the Indians to
the newly appointed agent, Kilsey, and
their desire to retain the old agent.
Secretary Noble has telegrapbed kilsey
to take charge of the Office at once or he
would see that al agent was appointed
who would do so.

Stocks and CarrIe Markets.

New YORK. june 6.-The favorable
influences in the stock market this morn
ing were entirely neutralized by the de-
moralization in sugar re6neries. After
the first hour the railway list became
dull and moved within very narrow limits.
The recent advance IN the price of re-
fined sugar created a strong tone in the
stock, and the rumor that Spreckles had
come into the trust was the occasion of a
rise OF about 4 per cent. Towards the
close the rumor was denied and there was
a sudden drop from 81 to 75i,the business
doing at the time being simply
The market closed rather heavy and final

There was buried from her home in
Lexington avenue Friday morning a wo-
man who died in this way. There isn't
anything remarkable in the case, and
the facts are as hackneyed as a fourth
rate novel. Just the old story of a man
and a woman. She was to marry him,
but at the last he found some one he
liked better, told her so in a nice way
and that ended it. She wasn't a love
sick girl-she was in her twenty-seventh
year, and all her girlhood had more af-
lection offered than falls to the lot of
most pretty girls. After he left she lost
interest in things, never moped, nor
cried, nor complained, nor aver looked
unhappy; she simply got tired, couldn't
eat, didn't sleep well, began to fall away,
one, two, three months-and died. That
wa all. The doctor hardly thought it
worth telling. Is it?-New York Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, June Coroner
Wagner investigated the circumstances of
the death of Lutte Lefevre at the poor farm
today, though generating the authorities
in this case was very severe on the man
agement for the treatment of the insane.
In speaking of this today he said: The
insane department of the poor farm is in
a horrible condition and the odors emanat-
ing from it are fearful and epidemic
breeding. The inmates of that depart
ment ann be but sick. They are
crowded aud packed in beyond all reason,
and a fire would result in the death of
every insane inmate. There is no reasou
for keeping these unfortunates at the
top OF the tinier pile. There is plenty
of space about the poor house that can
be utilized for wards for the insane. 1t
is only a question of time till we have a
horror out there.

liamson's) vile, he says it was
caused by a dose of medicine he

The Boston Daily Advertiser gives the
following interesting account of the
Maverick National bank of Boston, a
bank which is as well known in business
and financial circles as any bank in the
United States.
The Maverick bank was Incorporated
in 1854, and was one of the last, If not
the very last, incorporated under what
was known as the old banking law of
Massachusetts. 1t had a local interest
that is, it was intended to advance the
interests of East Boston, which, since
1880. had grown to be one of the most
important outlying wards of Boston. 1t
had established ship yards and other
large manufacturing industries; it was
the Boston terminus of the Cunard line
Of steamships, and 1t had arranged for a
series OF warehouses and dock privileges
which have since become famous 10 the
commercial history of Boston.
10 1878 the bank moved to its present
quarters in the city proper, at the corner
OF Congress and Water streets, in post
Office square.
But the Maverick bank of 1854 was
but a mere shadow OF what the Maverick
bank Of today is-that is in the great
volume of its business. The capital re.
mains today the same as it was in 1854,
S400, 900. but its transactions now are i'm
mense. When we say that its present
surplus is over $500, 900. the story OF lis
great success is told.
In many respects its management at
the present time is very much like that
which has characterized the Chemical
Bank of New York for three quarters Of
q century. Asa B. Potter, its present
able president, is born financier. He
took to inancIering naturally, and his
early education with Way, Warren & Co.,
strengthened bis instinct. AZ an agency
bank, the Maverick stands at the head Of
the Boston banks. The term agency is
susceptible of several interpretations, but
we use it merely in the sense of a fduciary
factor; and we do not hesitate to say that
under the presidency of Mr.. Potter, few
banks in the country have absorbed SO
much of domestic and foreign business in
exchanges and credits as the Maverick
National Bank of 1890.
The original directors we're Samuel
Hall, Noah Sturtevant. William G. Bar
stow. Henry N. Hooper, f. A. Sumner.
Samuel Hall. the first president, was the
well known ship builder of East Boston.
Capt. William @. Barstow was the genial
treasurer Of the East Boston company, a
genuine old salt, and asociable companion.
Henry N. Hooper was then at the head
OF the great cooper foundry firm of Henry
n. Hooper & Co. on Commercial street.
Noah Sturtevant was of the old coal firm
of Newell, Sturtevant & Co., and a large
owner OF real estate in East Boston.
Frederick A. Sumner was of the firm Of
Sumner & Swift.
The present directors are Asa B. Pot
ter, president; Henry +. Woods. Jonas

Difference in the Life of Men and Women.


The ordinary woman arises from her
bed in the morning, makes the daily
round of her duties, sets her house in
order, gets Der children off to school and
settles down for a quiet day of sewing
or reading. On an occasional afternoon
she makes a shopping excursion or scores
off a list of calls. She moves generally
among the same set of people. Day after
day she stays within the home walls and
sees only the familiar family friends, the
postman, the grocer boy, with now and
then h extraordinary excitement Of a
day with the dressmaker.
What a contrast to this humdrum is
the daily existence of the man. His
journey to town by steam or horse car,
or his walk along the busy street, is full
of incident and Of interchange. Before
he has reached his place of business in
the morning he has, perhaps, discussed
the topics of the day with a half dozen
different persons. His daily occupation
brings him into contact with men of a
dozen different nations, of a dozen diff
ferent creeds. in a dozen different strata
of society. lie may not be aware of it,
but there is in his mind a constant sift-
ing analysis, judgment of human char
acter. The constant shifting of the
kaleidoscope shows him lives in all sorts
of combinations, broadens his views and
takes from him that intensity of feeling
which belongs to narrowness and helps
to set aside personal feeling in forming
his opinious.-Good Housekeeping.
