Swallows Instead Of Carrier Pieeons-
An interesting account has appeared
Of an experiment made in the north Of
France In the training Of swallows -
carriers. and In testing the swallows 30

having been taken from their nest IN
the caves of a house, were first trained
to fly from the ground TO the nests

from ROnbaix to Lille, and finally from
Paris to Ronbaix. distance Of 110
miles
When this had been successfully -
complished a race was arranged over
the latter course between the swallows
and some trained carrier pigeons. with
the result that the swallows came in
winners by three-Quarters Of an hour.

SINGED AND BURNED.
A Reporter Gets a Glimpse ofthe
Body Of One the Electro

Murderer SmIler's Remains SaiS
be burned in a Horrible
Manner.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The Evening
World in its sporting edition says:
The body Of the Murderer Harris A.
Smiler was brought 10 this city in the
afternoon by Undertaken Hulberg on
the train which left Sirg Sing at l:36
o'clock. The body had been claimed
by Smilef's widow, the woman he
married and deserted for the woman
whom he afterwards murdered. The
body was taken from the train TO the
undertaking establishment at 265
West One Hundred and Twentyfifth
street. Three or four hundred people
were gathered TO witness the arrival
Of the body. BY q previous arrange
ment with the undertaken an Evening
World reporter was in waiting at the
rooms to see the body OF the executed
murderer. The cofiin was taken to the
basement by the undertaker's assist
ants, and the lid was taken Of, expos
ing the dead mans face. The reporter
stood close by and was
HoRRIFIED AT THE SIGHT
That met his eyes. 5miler's face had
been burned and sea:ed by the cleo
tric fluid until IL presented the appear
ance Of having been boiled. The hair
on the front OF the head. the mus
t&che and eyebrows had been singed
and burned of. The face was fur
rowed and SCARED as though with .
hot iron. These marks were not those
Of a ditsecting knife or scalpel. They
were palpable burns. Pressing closer
10 see the dead mans face palmer, the
reporter attracted the attention Of the
/ undertaker's asslstants, and they siez-
ed him by the shoulder, and compelled
him to leave before any other portion
Of the bodv was exposed. To repeated
requests to be allowed TO see the body
the reporter wss informed that no one
but the undertaken and his assistants
would be permitted TO see It until II
had been fully prepared for burial.
IL was learned through one OF ths
undertaker's assistants that Smiler'I

badly burned, though the eyeball wa
not destroyed.

with the sale Of the genuine bitters,
which are always sold in bottles secure

of any bitters in bulk, though the
name 'sHostetters" be not used, but
the suggestion made to the purchaser
that he can put them in the empty

on the track again to clineh the vic

many who expressed themselves Of
the belief that she could not finish.
Zillah is q race horse. though. and she
has a great rider in Jack Gagen, wb :.

After the start it was all excitement,

our people. have heard them here
tonight giving the Deer LDdge fellows

the town, tbs people and the track to
Miles City, very much to the credit Of
the latter. The track here, by the
way, is quite q novelty; the grade

HERE'S A PRETTY MESS.

Tuesdays Minneapolis IfibaMe con-
tains a telegram from Washington
stating that the first comptroller of
the currency finds clause in the law
which induces the belief in his mind
that the sites for public buildings
cannot be accepted by the government
until various state legislatures pass
laws giving exclusive jurisdiction to
the United States. In consequence of
this discovery the dispatch says the
supervising architect is obliged to sus-
pend al1operations for Mankato, Sioux
Falls, Fargo, Sioux City, Fort Dodge
and all other public buildings. Gen.
Nettleton was expected in Washing
ton to-day and it is said he will go in
person to the attorney general to have
the skein unrayelled with an opinion
which will cover all such cases for the
future. Meanwhile, until the pro-
mitigation of that opinion, interested
Northwesterners must wait a little
longer for their buildings.
1t is hardly probable that anything
further will be required of state legis.
latures in this matter. At least it is
hoped not.

S1.5O a Week.

An Associated Press correspondent
who recently made tour Of German
industrial centers says OF the homes
in Chemnitz:
In each house one could see one or
two looms. In one room l saw a man
at his machine. He was making silk
gloves of very fine workmanship. He
told me at present he was making nine
marks week. / visited number Of
other places. The men were all intel
ligent, self-respecting and industrious.
Their earnings at present average
from 81. 80 to 81 week. They live al
most entirely on potatoes and rye
bread. At the present high prices of
food staples in Germany they get
scarcely enough Of that.
1t is no wonder, in view Of such wa
ges and conditions, that the same cor
respondent says that some Germans
claim that factories cannot be estab-
lished in the United States to COM
pete with European prices, even un-
der the Mckinley law.

/ GRAND SPECULATIVE SCHEME.

Have the twin party-Democrats
and Alliance combination-whose
demagogue leaders make the air vo-
cal with their denunciatiOn OF
wheat spectators as robbers and
thieves, ever taken into consideration
the plain fact that if they can carry to
success their unlimited free coinage
measure, they are opening both the
great doors of the barn-the United
States treasury-to the widest of the
wild schemes. yet perfectly safe, for
the speculator? You open the mar
ket to the worlds product; you pro-
vide the purchaser, the q. S. treas
urer, and compel him to pay your stip-
ulated price for the commodity on de-
livery: you compel him to pay for
every 412a grains of silver bullion,
worth everywhere in the worlds mar
ket Csc to SOC, 81 in gold, or its equiv
alent. Was there ever safer scheme
of speculation for the Spectator de-
vised than that by this or any other
government on earth? 1t is not con-
fined to the product of the United
States. The spectators field is the
U. S. treasury and there is no fuctua-
tion in market value: the price of the
commodity is regulated by law, and
the law of supply and demand is en-
tirely ignored. He knows what he is
doing, just what profit there is in
every dollars worth of silver he buys.
If he buys $4,000 worth of silver in
Mexico at roots per dollar, his profit
is 30cts per dollar less the transporta-
tion to Washington, which would be
less than the freight on hundred
bushels of wheat or corn. The q. S.
minis have got to be kept running
night and day, and perhaps new ones
built, with new vaults for storing the
manufactured product, and no part OF
this expense comes out of the specula-
tor, nor is he compelled to receive the
coined product for his sale to the gov
eminent in payment for his bullion.
He can do better than than that. ..
S. treasury notes payable in gold are
much handler for his purpose, much
easier and safer TO carry, have a great
er purchasing power in silver produc-
ing countries. If speculator wants
better than that he must
wait till the twins combined ingenu-
ity can evolve new and better plan
for his benefit if such thing is posi-
BILE. Meanwhile they should remem-
Der that the depletion of gold in the
U. S. treasury goes on steadily. 1t
will grow smaller by degrees and beau
tifully less under the operation of
your unlimited coinage plan to build
up the greatest speculative boom the
world ever witnessed.

''KEEP it out of the paper" is the
cry, says an exchange, which the local
newspaper frequently hears. To OBJ
Hige often costs considerable, though
the party who makes the request
thinks the granting scarcely worth
saying thank YOU for. A newspa-
per is a peculiar article in the public's
eye. The news gatherer is stormed
at because he gets hold of one item,
and is abused because he does not get
another. Young men and often young
women, as well as older, perform acts
which become legitimate items for
publication and then rush to the
newspaper offices to beg the editors
not to notice their escapades. The
next day they condemn the same pa
pers for not having published another
party doing the same thing they were
guilty of, forgetting apparently their
late visit to the printing office. The
subscribers expect to read the news,
and there is always wonder when, for
charity's sake, an item on the street
and in everybody's mouth is not found
an the next issue of the paper. The
average human nature is queer COM
pound, but the newspaper editor un-
derstands it as well as he does his
spelling.
