HALIFAX, June 15.-The captain OF the
steamer Harlow, which went to the Bay of
ST George, Newfoundland, with a cargo OF
provisions, ETC., was notified on his arrival
at that port by the Collector Of Customs
that lie would not be permitted 20 land any
goods; that the people had refused to pay
customs duties to the Newfoundland Gov
ernment. The Harlow consequently pro-
ceeded on her voyage up the Newfoundland
coast, getting as far north as Flowers
Cove, where the people were found to be in
destitute and deplOrable condition for
want of food. At the urgent request OF
local Relief Committee some of the cargo
was landed for distribution. Calling at the
Bay of st. George on her return voyage it
was found that the residents and the
island Government had come TO an
understanding, the former agreeing
to continue to pay customs duties on
promise of the authorities TO consider their
grievances. The captain of the steamer
brought back letter from Rev. Mr. How
ellis of Flowers Cove, giving a narrowing
statement of the condition of his people.
He asserts that the Colonial Government
failed to respond to several appeals for aid
made last fall, and for that reason. during
a long month until the steamer Harlow
called. most of the people were on the verge
of starvation. The people were reduced to
such an extreme want that they had nothing
10 eat but rotten carcasses of seals and
many were at the point of death when the
HnrlnM arrived.

SILK Underwear.

Refined women in priva te life. says the
New York Tribune, have never adopted the
stage fashion of wearing a complete outfit
OF underwear made of white or colored
surah, or India wash" silk. These mate
rials. though washable, are unfit for such
use, because they cannot be sun-dried in
the fresh open air without losing color.
Even white surah turns an unpleasant
muddy yellow. The superiority of even a
cambria handkerchief to silk one need
not be dwelt upon where any one has made
use of both.
The silk undergarment worn by most re-
fined city women is an underyest of silk
webbing. This garment must be made OF
the purest thread Of silk in order to be
wholesome substitute for wool. There has
been no method ever discovered which will
prevent the spiral fbers of wool from draw
Ing up in laundering. With the most scru-
pulous care such garments are shrunk up
unfit for wear long before they are worn
out, Silk undervests of the purest quality
are an expensive item at irst, but will out
last several sets of wool underwear, and in
the end pay for themselves

to the Chicago Inter-Ocean of March 29th,
says; John Owsley, a man 20 years old.

rated. The robbers were known as

the door locks. Tie police captured the en-
tire gang six week ago. Owsley, his two
pretty daughters, man named Wingerlen
and criminal known as 'Scarefaced Char

THE AFRICAN FEVER.
Sickness in the wEds of the Ozark C.n

Sickness in the wHds of the Ozark C.n-
tiuent."
Once or twice we heard the snorts of hip
popotami around our boat when we moored
for the night. AS we slept, each wrapped
in his blanket, ll ing athwartship on bales
and boxes, it was not pleasant TO be walked
near midnight by these unaccustomed
sounds and TO hear the wash of the water
along the gunwhale, caused by these mon
sters.
We were not little thankful that they
confined themselves to grunts of defiance
and fOrbOre any actual attack, for by this
time we we're all suffering from African
fever, and good nights sleep was very
precious to US. Our boat was small and
overcrowded, and we were all good-SiZed
fellows on board; so, when the fever was
on Us, 1t required considerable ingenuity
and much crossing and recrossing of legs
before spaces could be found in which to lie
down at all in the stern sheets Of our craft.
Poor Milne, a strong, stout t-built man, who
had served twenty-0ne years In the British
navy, suffered more than any of us; and by
the time we reached Manyanga the fever
had taken so strong hold of him that his
case became hopeless. We did all We could
for him, but our small knowledge was of
little avail. We hoped that he would rally
when got ashore again, but five days after
we had landed he succumbed after q few
hours Of delirium. This was indeed
q Eltdt UlUn IUl uIc, lUI hllUUuSu
there was a great difference in our
ages, Milne and | had been fast friends
on the voyage out. He had been very good
to me in many ways, instead OF ridiculing
my lnexperience, and on several occasions
had helped me out Of difficulties into which
l had been led through ignorance. He
never lost an opportunity OF giving me such
information as he thought would be of use
to me when l should be away in the interior
and alone. 1t was Milne who first showed
me how To handle rife, how to use sail
needle, and, even more important, how to
cook the few dishes that have for years
figured with such mOnotonous repetition in
my simple bills of fare.
In return | would amuse him and the
others on the way by drawing rough
portraits which they sent home to
their friends; or at night l would sing
few comic songs TO the accompaniment of
my banjo. Aud here, at the commence
ment Of our new career, the man who to
all appearances was the strongest of
our party was snatched away by death,
while l. a not particularly robust lad, was
left to wonder vino would be the next vic
tim to the dreadful fever that was burning
in every vein and raeking every bone.
| felt then that 1t was necessary for me
to brace up" keep stiff upper lip, and
fight every advance of the enemy. To my
surprise l found myself day by day grow
ing stronger, while my companions weak
ened and failed. At last one day | was
able to announce myself as prepared to
continue the march.-From "Six Years in

An Instrument That Thinks.

With the month of April began the use
by the Signal Service of what is known as
the Triple Self lf-Register," an ingeniously
constructed instrument, the principal part
of which is cylinder revolved by clock.
Around this cylinder is wrapped sheet
of paper with the proper headings printed.
Upon the right hand side four keys are
placed, that print every five minutes the
letter TO indicate the direction of wind at
that time. For instance, if the wind was
from the north at the end of each five min
utes key would drop upon the paper
slowly passing underneath, and print the
letter IN" Ii from the northwest, both
IN" and Wv" would be printed. The PEN
Gil to record the velocity is the same as is in
common use OF thermometers, aud the rain
fall register works on the same principle.
Whenever .05 of an inch of rain falls in the
rain gauge outside this instrument, placed
on the Office table, makes pencil mark to
indicate the fact. Thus it will be seen that
all data concerning wind and rain is CON-
municated from the roof or other place
where the instrument for measuring rain,
velocity and direction are located, by cleo
tricity to the self-regis:ering instruments
in the office. To see the working of this
instrument is well worth a visit to the Sig
nal Office.-St Paul Pioneer Press.

SPOKANE FALLS, June 15.-The Spokane
River secured two more victims to-day in
DR.. Calvin b. Gardiner, who is considered
one of the most skillful dentists in the
Northwest, and popular citizen. who re-
sided in the eastern part of the city. In
order to reach the cars, for his own con-
venience in crossing downtown to his Office,
a distance of about three miles, he rigged a
ferry-boat with cable and windIass. To-
day, with his hostler, John Fraser. he made
trial over his new ferry.
The apparatus worked satisfactorily and
upon the return trip son of F. NJ. Tull,
one of the wealthiest citizens of Spokane
Falls, asked for permission to cross the river
with them. In midstream the windlass re-
fused 10 work and in a second the boat was
capsized by the terrific current. Fraser

for his companions, but there was nothing

TAINTED MEAT.
V olation of the Health Ordinance by a Chi

Volation of the Health Ordinance by Chi
cago Butcher
CHICAGO. June 10. - With inspectors
known to be watching in the slaughter
house of Jacob Hess to prevent the surrep
tItious preservation of the meat of lumDy-
jaw cattle, the forbidden practice was dis
covered last night in full blast, SO at least
representatives of the City Health
Department declare. The inference
drawn is that the tainted meat
was sold at cheap prices, but was
all profit. 1t was to be marketed through
peddlers in the artisan districts in Chicago.
Apparently each elevator-load Of meat be-
fore being hoisted up to- the upper floors of
the Slaughter-house for destruction in rem
derng Vats, was for a moment lowered to
the basement and the hind quarters, the
most valuable meat, was secretly unloaded,
after which the elevator again started up
ward to the rendering watts. Just 2700
pounds of alleged diseased meat was found
hidden away in the basement. The discoy
cry was made by city officials and is being
used by them to support their oft-made
charge that the State Inspectors are remiss,
if not corrupt, and that the inspection
should be done by the city.

IMPENDING BILLS.

Predicted Struggle for Precedence at the
Close If the Silver Debate.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-General debate
on the silver question is to be closed by
the present order of the Senate at o'clock
Monday afternoon. When this matter is
out of the way a struggle for precedence is
probable. Senator Allison says he will ask
to have the Legislative, Executive and Judi
clal Appropriation Bill considered; Sena-
tor Patt wants the bill to admit Wyoming
taken up, and Senator FRYE will press the
shipping bills. If the Wyoming bill is
taken up it is understood the Democrats
will offer a substitute to admit Wyoming,
Idaho, New Mexico and Arizona in body.
BY the middle of the week the Republican
members Of the Finance Committee expect
to have the Tariff Bill ready. feeling
prevails that the debate on that measure
will not begin until some of the measures
above referred to are disposed of.
The remaining appropriation bills are to
be vigorously pushed in the House this
week. First the Sundry Civil Appropria-
tion Bill, followed by the Indian Appro-
priation Bill and the National Bankruptcy
Bill. The Election Committee wishes to
call up the Mississippi case of Chalmers VS..
Morgan. The committee reports in favor
of the Democratic member. and 1t may act
as the sOftening prelude 10 an angry debate
of the National Election Bill, which is ex-
pected TO follow.

How a Dazzling Senorita Surprised q

A. r. Gushing, Harvard graduate. a few

GLADSTONE'S SUCCESS.
His Great Capacity for Work and Pr

His Great Capacity for Work and Pro-
digiOus Memory.
Mr.. GladstOne's remarkable success in
life has been due in no small degree to his
health, his capacity for work and his pro-
digious memory. When one sees him now,
one sees venerable figure, bearing the
marks of age. The outer skin of the face
is almost like parchment, so pale is IL and
finely lined. But twenty years ago
when l first saw him, he was
splendid-looking man, the very picture
of health. Not an ounce of superfuOus
flesh or fat on his body; all well preserved
and in perfect condition. From his earliest
days his health has been marvellous. He
easily the weight OF public cares, and slum-
bering as softly as little child. Like Sir
Walter Raleigh, he could "toil terribly;
and like all first-class statesmen, he has
been endowed with a good memory. A
friend told me that at a dinner party a
Gladstone was present, the conver
satan happened to turn upon some obscure
matter connected with the incomes of some
OF the Oxford colleges. about which noue
but an expert could be expected TO know

ing, while Mr.. Gladstone came out with the
desired information. The same informant
told me that friend happened to call in on
Mr.. Gladstone two or three days after the
Revised Version Of the New Testament
came out. Mr.. Gladstone had been
through the new version, comparing it
critically with the original Greek text, and
spoke learnedly on the subject Yet he
was then in his sixty-third or sixty-fourth
year, and held the double Office of Prime
Minister and Chancellor of the Excheque,
and was holding the threads of debate in
the House of Commons every night.
Even now he can repeat much of
Homer and Dante by heart He has
recently given French speech in Paris
and several Italian speeches in Italy, and in
evey case without previous preparation.

short of the marvellous. From William E.
