There exists at present what are known
in diplomatic circles as strained rela-
tons between the United States and
the newly formed government of Chile.
Some weeks ago a crowd of American
sailors were attacked on the streets of
Valparaiso by the Chileans and brutally
assaulted, two or three being killed and
a number wounded or imprisoned. The
Government at Washington promptly
demanded an explanation of the outra-
geous conduct of the Chileans, and re-
quested that proper reparation be made
of foreign affairs replied very CURLY, in
timating strongly that the Chileans
would attend to their own business in
their own way, and would not tolerate
dictation from any source. Future de-
velopments are anxiously awaited. The
Chileans are said to be q stubborn people
who never back down from q fight. Many
predict that the matter will not be settled
amiably, and that a passage of arms may
be expected. There is some similarity
between this case and that which occurred
between Italy and this country in the
New Orleans l%ynching, and doubtless
Italy enjoys the situation hugely now that
we are the offended people, seeking apol-
ogies and reparation for injuries done
Americans in a foreign land. Italy will
find that the United States will not at
tempt a bluff game with Chile and end
the matter by breaking off diplomatic re-
lations. The United States will have her
requests civilly acceded to through d.
plomatic channels, or she will have her
demands obeyed by force.

Forest Fires In Alabama.

SHEFFIELD, Ala, October 30.-The
mountains to the South Of here are being
swept by forest fires. The exceeding
dryness Of everything and a stiff breeze
makes it impossible to check the flames,
which are spreading in every direction.
The citizens are fighting them, but with
out success. Fences are being destroyed,
and some few houses have been burned.
The edge Of the mountains have been
reached, and in some places the sage
cotton field so far is reported destroyed.
A dispatch states that the fire has crossed
Bear Creek, thirty-five miles South, and
is destroying everything in its path.
News from Russelville says the fire is
sweeping over the mountains to the
Southwest. The only hope for a speedy
checking of the flames is rain, and there
is no sign Of that at present.

of transition from boyhood to manhood,
when they feel that they are wise enough

they most need the tender love and care

Ran into O Burning Trestle.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, October A.-At
6.25 O'Clock this morning. at Hatchet
Creek, seventy miles east Of Birmingham,
on the Columbus and Western Road, q
freight train loaded with coal ran into q
burning trestle. The engine and two
cars passed safely over, but eleven cars
and the caboose went down. Conductor
r. A. Rice and hagman L. r. Crawford,
who were in the caboose, were killed, and
the bodies were burned, together with the
train. Engineer j. D. Hendrix, In at
tempting to rescue them after the wreck,
was badly hurt. Sparks from passing To-
comotIves caused the fire.

Tennessee is having a great deal of
trouble with the miners at Briceville and
the convicts stationed in the coal mines
at that place. The trouble has been going
on for some time, as the miners vigorous
ly protest against the convicts being
worked there in competition with them
selves. Matters eliminated last Saturday
night when the miners released al con
victs from the stockade at Briceville and
did a great deal of damage to property.
They then went to Coal Creek and set at
liberty the convicts stationed there and
destroyed much property. On Monday
morning two hundred mounted men re-
leased two hundred convicts at Oliver
Springs, and burned the stockade. Gov.
Buchanan has ordered out the militia,
and bloodshed is probable. He has offered
a reward of $25 per head for the capture of
the convicts, many of whom were head
ing rapidly for the Kentucky line. The
miners have adopted heroic measures to
solve the convict problem, aud they have
the sympathy Of many of the people, but
the Governor is firm and courageous and
will doubtless enforce the law as it exists.
The situation is serious and it will require
a master hand to tide the trouble wei and
settle 1t without loss Of life and destruc-
ton of property.

Picked a Bale In q few Minutes.

ATLANTA, GA, October 27.-Quite a
sensation was created to-day over the
workings Of the Wellis-Lipscomb cotton
picker. In a large cotton field near At
1anta, the picker was put to work under
the direction of Lipscomb, the inventor,
and performed its work TO the satisfaction
of hundreds of planters, who came to
Atlanta to witness the test. Everybody
was unanimous in pronouncing the ma
chine a success. A bale of cotton was
picked in a few minutes, the leaves and
green pods of the stalk being %uninjur-

The efforts that have been made to Sc
cure cheaper text books for use in the
schools have been successful, and books
can now be bought cheaper than ever be-
fore. Arrangements have been made
with the publishers of the school books
now in use in this State to furnish them
at about 20 per cent. cheaper than former
ly, for the cash. The publishers have
been making the immense profits on the
school books, and not the local dealers,
and therefore it is the publishers who
have made the reduction.

OFFS recent fatal spider bite in New
York the Sun says: "Mr. Gustave Stein,
who was recently bitten by a spider, died
at 8 o'clock this morning. His physi-
clans ascribe his death to pneumonia, but
this does not preclude the poison from the
spider from being the original and the
true cause of death. The bite was fol-
lowed by blood poisoning, which in time
rave way to hypostatic pneumonia, the
result of the patients enfeebled condition
from the assesses formed by blood
poisoning. This form of pneumonia
must not be confounded with that which
arises from exposure of the air passages
in the lungs to sudden and prolonged
| cold. Hypostatic pneumonia is frequent
ly the immediate aus of death in ty-
phoid and other fevers. It Is simply the
| result of weak circulation Of the blood
causing fluid to be deposited in the lungs
| which the heart has not power enough to
reabsorb in the ordinary way. 1t will be
remembered that this was the cause OF
death in General Sherman's case. Death
from the bite of a spider isa rare but by
no means an unknown occurrence. The
large tarantulas in the southern part Of
this country are we'll known 10 give dan
gerous and often fatal bites. In q lesser
| degree there is always the same danger
from the bite ofthe ordinary spider. But
the cause of death might more truly be
set down to a want of inherit vitality In
the person bitten rather than tho danger
of the bite itself. In other words, a per

Cookery at Sea.

The English Shipmasters' association
has proposed that cooking school for
ships cooks should be established. Hith-
erto the one qualification for the post of
cook in the merchant service has been
to be a negro. 1t is true that occasion
ally Spaniard or other nationality of
exceptionally dark complexion has been
shipped as cook, but such exceptions
have rarely had the appreciation of i'll
telligent seamen. So, too, if the cook
has accidentally gone overheard the cap
tain has been compelled to detail the
most worthless of the sailors to act as
cook; but this has been done of necessity
and not of choice. The proposal to es-
tablish cooking schools shows that the
old fashioned cook, whose only concep-
ton of cooking was limited to boiling
or in the case of exceptionally dark
cooks, to boiling and frying-is doomed
to vanish.
The modern sea captain desires the re-
finements of shore cookery, and bankers
for "mauevilins." Possibly ne dreams
of game suppers prepared from cooped
cartridges, and perhaps pudding more
reconcile than the simple duff of the sea
would meet his views. The old fash
Toned captain is being driven from the
ocean by steam, and it is perhaps fitting
that the old fashioned cook should fol-
low him. 1t is even possible that the
tramp of the future will carry as
cook a young woman who has just
graduated from cookery school and
who will ornament the galley with
flower pots.-Paris Herald

A Disastrous Fire.

The fire in the Letter house was sad
blow to the social ambitions of the fam
lily. With one daughter in the height of
belehOod and another having Just made
her debut, the Letters had arranged
social campaign of great splendor. On
the very day that ushered in the short
season of nine weeks the home was dam
aged by fire. The most pathetic thing
about the disaster was the deStructionof
part of the Partisan wardrobe of the
young ladies, recently imported at a cost
of $4,000.
Poor Mamie Letter, bundled out of
bed and the house in great haste, caught
glimpse of Il number of her blackened
and burned Worth gowns, and straight
way went into Mysteries. AT the house
of Mr.. Rock, a neighbOr, she lost all con-
troll of herself for a time and filled the
air with her lamentations. Her grief
was short lived, however, and she is now
as gay and charming as ever in the full
whirl of Washington society. The rental
paid by Mr.. Letter to Mr.. Blaine has
been generally Overstated. When Mr..
Letter took the house he did pay $l1 800
a year, but when the lease was renewed
some time ago tine rental was reduced to
$S,000a year and the taxes and insurance,
or $500 in all.-WashingtOn Cor. Chi

What Asafetida Is.

Asafetida is a gum derived from the
root of plant which grows in Persia,
Afghanistan and other parts of Asia.
The root is cut, and a thick, milky juice
exudes, which, when dried, gives the
asafetida of commerce. The overpower-
ing, offensive smell is due to a volatile
oil, which can be removed by dissolving
the gum in alcohol and distilling the
compound. Disagreeable as it is to
western olfactories, in Persia and many
parts of the east it is used as cOndi-
ment for food. st. Louis GlObe-Demo-
