NEW YORK, July 1O.-A little three
column newspaper arrived in town yes
terday which bore the most sensational
news which it probably over printed.
Inc newspaper was printed on June 1,
and was from tho State of chihuahua.
Santa Rosalia, South America. A trans
lation of the articles referred to is as
follows:
"At Salinas, in tho State of Minas,
Brazil, man named Clemente Vicra
has been arrested charged with eatinr
human flesh. The editor Of the local
paper, Oluh dc Leopodina, visited Viera
IN Jail and had the following interview
with him.
"ls it true that you nourish Yourself
upon human flesh ," was asked.
Yes, answered the prisoner. "For
some time and my friends Basilio,
Leandro and others have eaten human
flesh; we have lived on it,"

Effects of the Tariff on Woolons.

What better testimony to the good ef- fects of the Mckinley bill sould be given than the following from Bradstreet's of Feb. 2l:
 An interesting feature of the woolen manufacturing situation is the number of new mills being built or projected in the west. Since the first of the year it has been reported that woolen mill has been projected at Rosedale, Kan; the Commercial club of Albuquerque, N. M, is negotiating with woolen manufactur- there; the new Minneapolis woolen mills are being equipped as rapidly as possi- ble; there is reported probability that a woolen mill will be built at Belton, Tex; at Marshall, Tex, the ground has been purchased for mill, and work on it's construction is to begin soon; At San Antonio company is said to be organiz- ing for wool manufacturing; at Gran vile, Tenn, the establishment of a wooden plant is receiving serious atten- tion, and announcements are made of 'woolen mills to be erected at Charles town, w. Va, and Jacksonville, Fla"
 Thus, while the enemies of Protection are eagerly watching for tho slightest turn in market fluctuations to twist it into justification of their exaggerated assertions about Mckinley prices, Mo Kinley industries are springing up all over the country to give increased em- ployment to labor and to pour plenty into thousands of workingmens homes.

Free Sugar,

Promptly with the lst of April came a drop of two and one-half cents pound in the best granulated sugar, and Q heavy decline in other grades and also in molasses.
 It is all on account of the new tariff.
 The fact, however, is only barely and grudgingly mentioned in the tariff re- form newspapers. It is doubtless un- pleasant to them to remember that the Mills bill contained no such boon to the people.
 But occasionally some tyro in econoIn- ics asks, If free sugar is good, why not free other thingsY Because, dear sir, we are dependent upon foreign sup ply for the great bulk of sugar we con- sume, and it is part of the protective policy to admit free what we cannot pro duce in quantities sufficient to supply the home market and thus regulate the price.
 With free coffee, free tea and free sugar, and with protected wages and increasing business, the American work inginan sits down to a cheery table.
 With taxed tea, coffee, entrants and even medicines, and with reduced wages and diminishing opportunities, the En- glish workingman begins to realize that Free trade is a fraud.

 but his relatives secured his return, and he became fine scholar and well read lawyer. Entering Hanoverian politics he soon took high rank, opposed the union with Prussia and in the newly formed empire fought every centralizing movement of Bismarck.
 One by one the Iron Chancellor carried his various laws against the Catholic clergy, but the opposition grew and finally created such chaos that most of those laws were repealed. He was joc. ularly called the "pin in Bismarck's boot" and at the last the chancellor had to yield and invite "the little doctor" to a conference, The result was that the clergy gained all their ancient rights, and were in fair way to recover the confiscated revenues when Dr. Wind thorst died. His last achievement was to drive from office Herr Won Gossler, the minister of public worship.
 In private life Dr. Windthorst was among the most lovable of men, was universal favorite in society, especially with the ladies, and was called "Pearl of Meppen,' Little Excellency" and the like. On his deathbed he declared him. self at peace with all the world except Bismarck. He never forgave that states mans harsh acts toward his church and himself,

 FAT STOCK SHOW.

Fashion in the Color of Cattle-Some-
 thing in the Color, but Nothing to
 Justify the Crazes About It-Red and
 Roan Shorthorns Respectively.
 Some time since noted Shorthorn rearer declared emphatically that he would have none but roan animals to breed from if he could get them. He did not draw the line strictly against red Shorthorns, but preferred the roan al- ways. A few years ago, however, there was such craze for reds that the roan would have been nowhere in breeders sale.
 There is much nonsense in the fashions of color in dairy and beef cattle. In gen eral, if certain colored animal has proved it's capabilities for generations in certain directions it is fair to reason, ip general way, that other cattle of the same color and breed would be also well

adapted to the same purpose. Thus far there is foundation in common sense for color crazes, but no further Other po!nts are far more important than color.
 At the Chicago fat stock show the Shorthorn steer Nonesuch took the sweepstakes prize for the model beef animal. His picture shows that there was not much waste about him. None such was bred in Kentucky in the blue grass and is of a bright red color all over. Nonesuch's sire was a bull of the Wood lawn Shorthorn herd. His points" will be very apparent to those who know a beef animal when they see it.

but all was Of no use. TIT duke was killed;
an Austrian prince and many counts and
barons fell.
The Austrian horse holders became
alarmed and fed with the horses, and the
infantry supports were not in sight. There
was no recourse now for the knights but to
sell their lives as dearly as possible. The
bloodiest fighting Of the field took place
over the amer Of the Austrians. One
banner was defended to the death by no
less than thirty-four Austrian knights and
allies. Another had twelve slain around IL
in the last rally, another seven and another
fourteen. In one case the standard bearer
tore up the banner and die with the staff
clinched in his teeth. The Austrians lost
1000 men,, $40 killed; the Swiss lost 200
killed and nearly all Of their leaders. The
battle was fought July o., 1896. The tide of
victory ushered in by the brave Winkelried
did not stop with the battle of Sempach.

At the end of the truce the Austrians
and their partisans in Switzerland resumed
hostilities, and by ~treachery and cruelty

Another bloody battle took place at Nafels,
in 1888, where the Austrian cavalry was
defeated in a mountain fight with terrible
slaughter. The Swiss rolled rocks and
stones down the precipices upon the horse
men, and caused n stampede that soon
affected the infantry, and the battle ended
in confusion for the Austrians. Over two
thousand were killed. AS a result of this
victory Switzerland had peace with Aus

grew in strength and wealth, and laid the
foundation of its great prosperity. Sem

This done, every step in advance through
the gap would take the nearest Austrians

The first efforts OF the Swiss failed
utterly. Several of the leading ranks were
destroyed, sixty patriots had fallen, and
the yalor Of those remaining was fast CIV

daring OF the Swiss in Offering attack
against an overwhelming force seems fool
hardy. Had they stood fast the Austrians
would nave torn themselves to pieces in

tactics could not, however, save the Swiss
when once the contact had come, To halt
then would be certain ruin, and nothing
could save Switzerland but the onward,

Unterwald, Arnold Struth Won Winkel-
