of the molars should have attention, and
a quill or wood toothpick should be en-

taste being disguised by the addition Of a
small quantity of bruised licorice root,
makes good wash, but asimpler prepara-

THE NEGRO PROBLEM,

Cardinal Gibbons Thinks that to Chris
 tianize tho Blacks Will Solve It.
 BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. s4.-Cardinal Gibbons began yesterday at the solemn high mass a course of Lenten sermons. The subJect was "Penance." Before beginning the sermon Cardinal Gibbons made and sappeal to the congrega. tion in behalf of the negro and Indian missions. He reminded his hearers that, in compliance with the decree of the last Plenary Council Of Baltimore, an annual collection was taken up in behalf of those missions on the first Sunday in Lent all the churches of the country.
 There are now," said His Eminence, about 1000, 900 negroes in the United States, and the negro question has become serious problem to the Amer ican people. The best solution of the problem, in my judgment will be found in christianizing the negroes In some sections of tho country, if reports arc true, their religion has degenerated into a king of fetishism, and is entirely emotional, devoid of all religious re- straints and obligations. The negro race are naturally religious people. They are kind, affectionate, and Erate- ful-submissive to authority, and their war, whom they had the power to do mischief was above all praise. By proper religious and Christian instruc- tion they are sure to become most use- full element in tho community"
 The congregation made a generous response to the appeal of the Cardinal Arch bishop.

OVER FORTY PERISH
Two Big Reservoir Dams Burst
 in AriZOnia.
A MAD RUSH TO ESCAPE DEATH.
Messengers on Fast Horses Try to Warn
 the Doomed Inhabitants.

A Village Supposed to be Wiped Out.
 is Believed Many Were Caught in the
 F1ood-vast Amount of Property De.
 stroyed.
 PRESCOTT, Ari., Feb. 24.-The big dams across the Hassayampa burst at an carly hour yesterday morning, and this city barely escaped the experience of Johnstown.
 The exact number drowned cannot be ascertained, but 1t is known to be over forty.
 The lake formed by the dams was over two and a half miles long, and this vast volume of water swept down upon the city without moments notice.
 Recent rain and snow storms had caused the rivers tributary to the res ervoir to overflow their banks. and the rush of water was so great that an inn mense Assure was torn in the reservoir, releasing the water.
 The dams were built at 8 cost of &s0o, 900, and up to the present time were al- ways regarded as perfectly safe.
 At the time of the break a nun ber of m on, stated to be over forty, were at work on the water company's Hume. AhOA0 " Ao A0 0AOuS Ao VI ubAS0E. ouN> denly there was loud crashing noise and the cry wont up that tho dam had burst
 For few brief seconds there was mad rush to escape, but they wore all caught in the machinery masonry and swept along by the waters. Who the unfortunates in the building at the time were will not be known until the roll is called.
 At present all is confusion, and the lack of telegraphio communication makes it harder still to gain particu- lars. The bodies recovered were chief ly those of people who occupied cot tages in the waters path.
 The town of Wickensburg Is little over 30 miles from Prescott, and, once the dam burst, it swept on in the direc- tion of the place. Everything In its path was carried away.
 In less than an hour and half after the dams burst, the water had struck the town Messengers mounted on fast horses wore hurried out to try and warn the doomed inhabitants, but none have since returned, and it Is possible that in order to reach the endangered town, some of them may have chosen tho nearest route, and been caught in the flood.
 Unless the people of Wicl1ensburg re- ceived some warning of the impending danger, tho loss of life to be reported from thore will be appalling, as the town is situated right upon the bank of the river.

A FISH IN HIS JUG,
f;io Remarkable Yarn Told by an Ag,

rao Remarkable Yarn Told by an Ageu
 M ,ne Munchauscn>
 There used to be an old resident of Fayette, Me-, who was greatly given to spinning yarns says the Local Press ot that village. He was tho hero of his own narratives, and, to hear him toll it. his adventures, exploits and hair- breadth escapes were as wonderful as those of Baron Munchausen or Sinbad the Sailor. He has left tho shores of time and gone to the happy hunting grounds, but some of his stories still survive. Here is specimens:
 Ono day ho was out on tho lake near his homo fishing, and happened to have a two-gallon stone jug in the boat, which jug accidentally fell overheard, filled with water and sank to the bottom Some years aftcrward ho was again fish ing near tho samo place, when, feeling strong bite, he tuggcd stoutly at the pole and pulled into tho boat on one end of the limo the identical lost jug with a big pickerel in it. It seems that the fish, when small. swan into the jug, and not finding the way out, grew to a large size in its prison. When the baited hook chanced to drop into the jug the fish seized it and was caught
 This was ono of the many marvellous tales that the old man used to tell, and it hurt his feelings and reused his ire if any of his audience ever venturcd to question his yeracity.

Tho Deepest Coal NIino.

Very few people, in looking at the dusky diamonds as they lay upon the fire, know of the effort and tho danger that surrounds tho individual who plies his vocation in digging the same, as tho mines arc under ground, and some very deep. Tho deepest one in America is in Pottsville, Pa. The shaft is 1,576 feet deep. From it's bottom, almost third of milo down, 2O6 cars, holding four tons each, are lifted every day. They are run upon platform, and the whole weight of six tons is hoisted at q speed that makes the head swim, the time occupied in lifting a full car being little moro than a minute. Tho hoist ing and lowering of men into coal mines is regulated by law, and only ten can stand on the platform at once, under penalty of heavy fine.

 NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 24.-Messages of vondolence are pouring in on the Tyler family, of this city, which lost two of Its members, Misses Mary and Carrie, in . runaway accident on Saturday.
 The bodies of the young women re- pose in caskets in the parlor of the house of their widowed mother, at No. 276 Sumner avenue. The funeral is announced for Wednesday, and it is ex- pected that 1t will be one of the largest ever witnessed in Newark.
 Mary and Carrie were teachers in the Sumner avenue school, and their fell low-teachers and pupils flocked to view their death-stricken faces and to speak kind word to their bereaved mother
 Miss Ellen Tyler, who was in the carriage from which her two sisters made the fatal jump, and who escaped by miracle, told the story of the ncci- don't:
 We were on lonesome part of Ere linghuysen avenue, when suddenly a shot was heard and Q pigeon flew across the path of the horses and startled them. They began to run at the top of their speed, and we became fright ened. l was seated by Algiers, tho colored coachman, on the front seat, and when Carrle said: I am going to jump l scramb bled over the scat and sprang after my sisters.

A DEsrRUCTIvE WEAPON.


 Inventive science seems to be rapidly converting warfare into too destructive . pastims for great nations to indulge in hereafter. A recent French repeat ing air rifle, appropriately called the "miracle gun," is attracting serious at tention in Germany. The weapon was invented by M. Paul Giffard, in Paris. the original projector of the Parisian pneumatic post. It is described thus {: "The weapon is light, much lighter than any of the army rifles now in use. It resembles the magazine gun in that Q steel cartridge about span and half long and as thick as Q mans thumb, is attached to the one barrel by means of . screw. This cartridge contains 300 shots, which can be discharged as rapidly or slowly as man desires. Since neither powder nor any other ex- plosive, but only compressed and lique- Aed air, supplies the expelling force, no smoke and no flash accompany the dis olarge. Only a short. sharp, low re- port is heard as the ball leaves the cart ridge. At the recent trial the ball travelled with wonderful accuracy and penetrated deep into the wall of ale shooting room. As soon as one car tridge is emptied of it's 300 shots, another cartridge can be screwed on the gun in the twinkling of an eye. M. Giffard says that the 300 shots in a cartridge can be produced at a cost of about two and half cents. The gun itself can be manufactured for about five dollars"
