Bonner posted off to police head

the telling. The Chief of Police, alive
to the exigencieS of the situation, made
a special detail of ten policemen and a

The policemen were drawn up in a

ment prevailed among the numerous
depot loungers, a rumor having gained
currency that desperate band OF tram
robbers was on the incoming train.
In due time the train arrived, but no
party of registering drunkardS allghted.
The party on the train was composed OF
several pious-looking gentlemen with
broad-brimmcd hats. who stood around
as though expecting some one.

clared that great distress threatened the
poor in Ireland owing 10 the failure OF the
potato crop throughout the country. In tue
House of Commons to-day Mr.. Balfour
stated that while IL was true that there had
been serious failure of the potato crop,

would be sufficient to meet all cases Of dis
tress that might arise from the failure Of
the crop.

Zig Leaf i. Fun ORES. with the ChIns.


n no military success has been
achieved by the Chin field force, much
interesting information has been coll
collected relative to the numerous
tribes iuhabiting the Chin Mountains.
Besides the Chius themselves. they com
prise Nindus, ChinbonS. WcichungS.
and ChinboIS Nearly every tribe
speaks different dialect. From notes
made 10y Lieut.. Rainey. commanding
the Chin frontier levy. and published
by the Government. il appears that
some of these tribes are almost as bar
barou> and ignorant as the Savages of
Central Africa. They wear scarcely any
clothes and the historical fig leaf accu-
rately represents the full dress OF some
of the villagers.
Their dwellings have no furniture:
they have no laws, no religion and no
government, except an incomplete Wiz
lage system. Medical science and sur
gerry are absolutely unknown. Their
habits are repulsively filthy. Certain
tribes are confirmed drunkard>, cOnSUm-

quantities, although all along the
coast, from Neah bay to Gray's harbor,
gold can be found by washing the sand
on the banks. Coal groupings have
been found near Swan lake, and it has
been discovered in large quantities
further back in the mountains, in the
vicinity OF the Quillayute country.
About the only prairie land in this
northwest country suitable for agricul-
tural purposes and not yet taken up
by white men, is on the Quinault In
dian reservation. About ten miles
from the coast there are several large
prairies that. are very similar to the
Quillayute prairies and contain several
thousand acres. These prairies are
used by the Indians only to hunt elk
on, and it is shame, that the govern
ment does not throw them open to set
tlement, as the Indians will never use
them for any other purpose. These
Indians are rapidly dying off and it is
doubtful if their tribe now numbers
over two hundred, and yet they have
the largest and finest reserve in Wash
ington.
When this reserve was first set off.
the Quinault tribe was one OF the larg-
est in the territory and nearly all the
reserve was occupied by their villages,
but at present there is only one village,
and the village and the land used by
the inhabitants will not cover in all
80 acres, while the reserve contains
something in the neighborhood OF 800
square miles.
The valleys in the foothills at pres
ent are useless, as any cattle that
might be put in them in the summer
would freeze to death in the winter
unless some arrangement was made
in the latter part OF the fall to winter
them. In these valleys numerous
bands of elk feed, but they are not
much hunted, as they cannot be taken
out, and are only shot when the pros
pectOr wants fresh meat.--P0rt TOwn-

Charles Stewart Parnell.

The great Irish leader, whose liai.
son with Mrs. O'Shea has cast dark
shadow over his otherwise bright ca
reer, comes of noted ancestry on both
sides of the house. His mother is.
the daughter of our own great naval
hero, Rear-Admiral Charles Stewart
whose firmness and intrepidity won
for him the sobriquet of "Old Iron
Sides" In the war of 1912 with Eng.
land, Stewart commanded the frigats
Constitution. On the Goth of Febru'
ary, 1915, he fell in with the British
ships Cyane and Leoant. Either ol
them was vastly superior to the Con
stitutiOn, nevertheless Stewart at.
tackled them both, and after a terrific
engagement, lasting three hours, he
captured them. They had lost n
men in killed and wounded; the Con.
stitution had lost but 3 killed and
wounded. Stewards skill and daring
had never been excelled-probably
never equalled. The country went
wild with joy and enthusiasm over this
extraordinary feat. Stewart was given,
in gold box, the freedom OF New
York; he was rendered the thanks oil
the State of Pennsylvania, accom-
panied by gold hilted sword; Con-
gress voted him the thanks of the ma
tion, together with a gold medal COM
memorative of his exploit; and nu.
merous other marks of affection, ad-
miration and gratitude, were bestowed
upon him. His grandson has wrung
from England in peace a triumph not
loss remarkable, and of probably deep
er importance and more far-reaching
consequences. His daring and firm
ness are generally attributed to the
blood of "Old Ironsides" /;
his elegance and high culture to the
Irish blood of the Parnells. He is
descended from the poet Thomas Par
nell, whose lovable character reminds
one OF Longfellow.

One Trial Was Enough.

"When the Kansas Pacific was first
opened" said B. w. Vedder, q locomo-
tive engineer, to q Globe Democrat re-
porter, the Indians were very hostile,
and there was constant fear that they
would wreck the trains. That they
did not is due to their ignorance of the
iron horse and the best methods of de-
stroying it.
Zone of my firemen had an exper-
icnce with the Cheyennes that he will
never forget. He was ON the road
near Ft. Wallace, when he saw that
the Indians had cut the telegraph
wire, and knew that he might look out
for squalls. They were never satisfied
with simply cutting the wire but
chopped it into inch pieces with their
tomahawks to effectually stop the
mysterious messages. As the train
came near large patch of sunflowers
which grew on both sides of the track,
over 100 Indians rose up, stretched a
strong rope across the track, braced
themselves and prepared to receive the
shock of the locomotive. As was af.
terwards learned, they had taken raw.
hide strips, braided them together, and,
with force of fifty at each end
thought they would be able to stop
the train. The instant the locomo.
tive struck the rope the air was full ol
Indians. They were thrown in all di'
rections. Some were jerked clear
across the track, and more than q
dozen were killed or seriously injured
This was the last attempt made fol
years to stop the trains"

REV. Thomas Van Ness, who is trav-
elling in the interests of Unitarianism
in the Northwest said: "The North
west owes all its prosperity to the ex-
cellence of its newspapers. When I
pick one up and see it fairly teeming
over with good live news appreciate
the amount of work expended in getting
it out, for I was once in the newspaper
business myself. What makes a news
paper is its local columns. You may
have telegraph from all nations, but if
you have no local news or what you
have is badly expressed, the local paper
having but a meager supply of dis
patches will speedily outstep and pass

Mrs. O'Shea is an unusually beautiful,
cultured and refined woman, OF impos-

complexion is begotten neither of

that attracted statesmen and artists to

NoN-BuRsTING Fly W.

A NoN-BURsT1Na FLY WHEEL
In the works of the Mannesmann
Tube Company, in England, there is q
heavy fly wheel ingeniously designed
to be absolutely free from any danger
Of bursting. As this wheel is about
twenty feet in diameter, weighs over
seventy tons and runs at 24O turns
per minute, it was feared that q cast
iron wheel would be unable to stand
such a centrifugal force. The wheel
consists of a cast iron hub, to which
are securely bolted two circular plates
or disks of steel about twenty feet in
diameter. Round the periphery Of
the wheel thus formed about seventy
tones of No. 5 wire was tightly wound,
thus binding the whole securely to-
gether and making q wheel that is
practically beyond possibility of break
age by centrifugal power. The cir
cumference of this great wheel travels
at the rate of 2.S5 miles per minute,
about three times as fast as the most
speedy express trains.-Philadelphia
