Due to Irish Genius.

To the genius of James Hoban, an
Irish architect, it is said, we owe the
white house at Washington and other
public buildings in the District Of CO.
lumbia. He was friend of George
Washington and was employed by the
year, at the suggestion of President
Washington, in 1899, at an annual sal
airy of three hundred guineas, contin-
uing until 179s, when he was appointed
supervising architect of The United
States capitol, admittedly the building
par excellence of the United States.
After filling various high positions IIo-
ban died, in 1881, leaving considerable
property to his children. His own resi-
dence is still in existence. lie is inferred
at Mount Olivet cemetery. lie was de.
vout Catholic. His son. also James Ito.
ban, was a renowned lawyer. He pub.
lished several books on Irish subjects.
His grandson, also James Hoban, is a
prominent member of the Boston bar.

Salvation Army Funerals.

According to a recent report there
are to be no more expensive funerals
in the Salvation Army in New York
city. A general ukase has been issued,
and hereafter members will be inferred
with IAN entire absence of any vain
show" There is to be no hearse, no
mourning carriages, no mourners, no
black Grape, and, in fact, none of the
orthodox trappings and appointments
of the ordinary everyday funeral. 1--WE
propose to conduct funerals hereafter
in style that will be in keeping with
our soldierly status" said one of the
leading officials, recently: IF we can
carry the coffin along, just holding it
among us by the handles, it win be all
the better. The services at the grave
will include solo by some sister, with
the full chorus. Then three volleys
will be fired: God bless and comfort
the bereaved.' God help .us who are
left to be faithful until DEATH and God
bless the Salvation Army The band
will then strike up a hymn in quickstep
time and the army will march away"

A WoInan's Will.

Every passenger conductor at some
time in his career has met with some
cool exhibition of female nerve that
has made each particular hair of his
conductorial head to stand on end. A
story illustrating woman's real nerve
comes from a Pennsylvania town. A
few days ago, says the Pittsburgh Post,
as one of the evening trains on near
by short line had neared the end Of its
run the coat sleeve of the conductor,
who was passing down the aisle, was
grasped by woman, who told him
that she had forgotten to stop the train
three stations back, where she should
have gotten off, and where her ticket
called for. She demanded that the train
be backed to that station. lie laugh
ingly refused her demand. She insisted,
and quoted Blackstone in support OF
her rights until the cold sweat stood on
his conduct orial brow. lie argued, but
she was memorable, and finally he
backed the train to the required station,
mnch to the disgust of the remainder OF
the passengers, but to the satisfaction
of the woman.

the nefarious practices of dishonest
manufacturers. New Orleans molasses.
one of the most wholesome and agrcea-
BILE products of the sugar cane, is now
so augmented by adulterants, and arti-
fcially improved by chemicals, that it
is likely to decline in popular favor.
Merchants in Philadelphia have recent
ly been offered a recipe for improving
the color Of molasses by means of
chemicals for the sum of TWENTY-FIVE
dollars.

OF settling disagrcements for those prac-

is OF more than ordinary interest. The
court is unique in being not only the
supreme tribunal from which there is
no appeal, but also the only court Of

for trial. Yet this system, with its

WHEN the federal government as
sumed charge of immigration at the
port of New York corps of young
surgeons from the Marine hospital serv-
ice was detailed to examine and care
for Ill immigrants. The provisions of
law recently passed make rigid phys.
ical examination of immigrants neces-
sary to determine whether they should
or should not be landed. More doctors
were needed than when the old state
boards single medical examiner passed

an immigrant has incipient tuberculosis,
he is sent back.

Tie Nicaragua Canal.

A nautical journal published on the
Pacific coast asserts that the Nicaragua
canal, if completed, will never be used
by sailing vessels, for reason which
applies also to the Panama canal. On
either side of Central America, in the
vicinity of the proposed entrances to
the canal, is region Of perpetual
calms and doldrums, and sailing YES
sci would find it exceedingly difficult to
get into the entrance on one side, and
after being towed through would have
equal difficulty in getting away from
the coast into the region of trade winds
on the other. A sailing vessel going to
San Francisco from New York or
Liverpool, would, it is declared, make a
quicker passage around Cape Horn than
by going through the canal. 1t is also
said that but one sailing vessel has
ever passed through the Suez canal,
and that was lost in the Red sea short
~ aftcrMard.

As AN evidence that the orange bust
ness in this country is in danger of be-
ing overdone the fact is presented that
the orange crop of California has be-
come SO large that it cannot be mar
keted at paying prices. Thousands of
acres of the land of California are now
bearing young lemon trees. The olive
and fig crops of the state are now
profitable. Experiments in the raising
OF Ceylon tea in Southern California
will soon be tried.

PAPERS have been submitted to the
proper government authorities in rela-

at sea. Our humane societies have no
jurisdiction over foreign shipments Of
animals, and foreign councils have no
power beyond reporting to home boards

affairs Mr.. William Hosea Ballou, a
New York author, is agitating the mat
ter in the hope of securing jurisdiction
by international arrangement over
steamship companies liable for avoid

this laudable undertaking Mr.. Ballou

INCIDENTS showing the terrible dis.

to be recorded. A poor woman of Ratch-

try to purchase food, found all her chill

ton being made, their stomachs were
found filed with rags and earth. Many

THERE is possibility of some day see
ing soldiers going into battle clad in ar
NOR similar to that of ancient times. The
French have already taken step in
that direction. A committee of French
officers is said to have decided to recon-

the infantry made of nine parts of cop
per and one of aluminium, equal to
steel plate of three times the thickness.
1t will only be worn in time of action.

That a vegetable substance can be

seems among the impossibilities, yet ex-

Steam-pipes have been made in Eng

tremendous hydraulic pressure, and,

twice the tensile strength of steel pipes.

The committee Of the Lake Eric and
Western strikers arrived from Lima
last evening. Tho men at that poin t
heard that the men here had agreed to
the company's terms and sent commit
tee to ascertain the truth. A confer
ence was held and the Lima men having
learned that the report was unfounded
prepared to return home.
They were refused transportation by
the Company and the strikers immed-
lately cut tho passenger train in two
behind the mail car, placed flags on the
rear Of the mail car and told the engi-
necr to proceed. In half an hour the
men were furnished passes and the

AN ESCAPED CONVICT.
Almy Turns Out to Be George
n. Abbott.

HANOVER, N. H., Aug. a2.-lSpe-
cialI-It has been established beyond a
doubt that Frank c. Almy" is none
other than George Ii. Abbott, who
escaped from Windsor, VT, prison about
six years ago. Warden Cakes and two
superintendent from Windsor this
morning positively identified him as
tho man sentenced.
This explains his anxiety to know
when captured how much Of his previous
history had been learned and his asser-
ton that he was q Southerner and con-
nected with some Of the best families
in the South. He is tho son of respec IA.
BILE parents, who live in Salem, Mass.
When he escaped from prison he had
served six years of sentence of fifteen
years given him on nine indictments for
burglary, to which he had plead guilty.
Over his head were hanging charges
without number. Ho was a criminal of
the abandoned type. When formerly
captured he had fought as desperately
OF in this last case and in his career of
crime he has received about twenty
wounds. Among his exploits before
being sent to prison, was an escape
from sheriff who had him in charge
and robbing the sheriff of his rifle, and
$50 cash. lie once ran a mile and a
half with nothing on but his shirt to es-

THE HOLY COAT.
Catholics Believe it to he the Garment
Worn by Christ
cape captl

BERLIN, Aug. 81. = Especial The
Textile manufacturer, who WAS sum-
moned to examine tho garment known
as the holy coat now on exhibition in
the Cathedral, at Treves, says that when
the wrappers were removed the vesture
was found to be in such tattered con-
dition that it could not be placed on
exhibition. Bishop korum then con-
suited some experts and finally tho coat
was given to an aged and experienced
nun who gummcd the fragments of the
garments together, as tho material was
too much worn to stand tho strain of
needle and threat.
The holy coat is now partially over
laid with layers of materials with which
1T has been wrapped up and these wrap
pers having become decaycd cannot be
separated from tho coat DR.. Book, of
AK La Chapollc, declares that he has
examined tho reverse side of the holy
coat and found it was moulded on byssis
silk which was used in the first century
which was never manufactured after the
sixth century and which was ALWAYS OK
tremely costly. Catholic circles con.
slider this To be proof that tho holy coat
Is tho genuine garment worn by our
Lord.
1t is explained that byssis is tho
name given from ancient Greek and
Roman times TO q bundle OF silky fila
mcnts by which many bivalvc shells
attach themselves TO rocks or other
fixed substances. In the Mediterranean
these flaments are remarkably long.
delicate and strong and have Il silky
iustre, and are capable of being woven
into cloth upon which very high value
was placed.
But the animal which rroduced these
hlaments is now SO rare it is almost cx-
clusivcly an article Of curiosity.
