Feared Being Buried Alive.

Abner L. Dunn, a veteran of the civil
war, was buried at Burlington, Ia, the
other day. He died several days ago at
the age of SO, but in accordance with
the request he had made the interment
was deferred as long as possible. This
was the second time Dunn had died, to
all appearances. Several years ago, af-
ter q peculiar illness, the doctors pro-
nounced him dead, and his body WIS
placed in casket. Shortly before the
coffin was lowered into the grave Dunn
showed signs Of life, and in few days
was well and strong. The story Of his
experience was thrilling. He claimed
that he was conscious of what was going
on about him; understood the CONVERSE
ton; could even see the faces of his fam
lily as they bent over him; but could not
speak or move. Afterward he had ?
dread Of being buried alive, and it was
for this reason that he made the request
for delay. philadelphia Ledger.

to me: III there is any true
religion, it is the Catholic religion A

unconscious at the time, but this fact
has no important bearing, for the sacra-

The Speed of That Yankee Meteor.

Professor Ii. 4. Newton, of Yale, writes the following letter with regard 10 the great and wonderfully brilliant meteor which was seen here in Hartford:
 The brilliant meteor that you describe in vour issue of Feb. 24, and which was heard to explode with tremendous noise m many places in Maine, appears to have bveu moving northward, nearly over Portland. Me, perhaps from us far south as Boston, ;.nI to nave disappeared some miles above the surface of the earth over the middle or northern parts of Franklin county, Me. So far as known no stones nave been secured from the meteor. IT A.s is the true path, the body entered the air with tremendous velocity.
 The earth was at that time moving eighteen ruiles a second directly toward the point from which the meteor was coming. According to accepted theories, inc meteor was moving faster than the earth, and the stone entered the air with the stun Of tue two velocities. This mgacs a velocity of more than forty miles a second. In most of the cases where stones have been secured the ve- lgaiJits have been not more than twenty niles a second. In one instance, how ever, in Stanhem, Moravia, there were secured large number of stones from q meteor whose velocity was as great as that of the meteor of Feb. 23.-Hartford COErant

Students Credit in Paris.

The Parisian tradespeople who have to do with the students are not lenient. The lower French classes, every one knows, are grasping. In Paris they are spurred on by what Alphonse Dandet so graphically calls "ia peur de ne pas arriver"-the fear of not getting there" In the Quartier student is allowed 150 francs credit; in other words, thirty dol lars. If any expenditure is run up above that limit, or rent permitted to stand beyond that sum, the hussier appears and the student is literally turned out on the pavement. have recently heard of several cases where this limit had been reached within a franc or two, and where the student, manOr woman, had been reduced to keeping the vital spark alive by one or two cups of coffee q day.
 In one instance the person was New England girl from a small village, who, entirely without talent, had come over, as have described, with about $20G, out of which, her passage being deducted, she had been able to live, after fashion, for time. The last cent was now gone; she was friendless, without means to get home, and probably too proud to make her destitution and failure known to her family, against whose instincts of com mon ssnse she had probably undertaken this venture, lured by all manner of wild and unfouuded hopes. And this case is really one of many Milwaukee

The old uome of Jesse James.

The Libby Prison war museum is soon to have an acquisition of a curious char acter. It is the identical frame house in which Jesse James lived the last four mau;hs of his life, and in which he was killed by Bob Ford. Since 1882 this house has stood unoccupied on bluff back of St, Joseph, Mo. The bullethole ia the wall is still to be seen and the blood stains on the floor have never been eIaceI. The house was sold to the agent of the Chicago museum for the sau of $l 900, and it is to be taken down n sections, removed hence and set up a5..n in the big building in Wabash avenue.
 An equally interesting relic would be, we think, the old James house still stand ing near Liberty, Clay county. And if old Mother James is still living she should be engaged to come along and serve as a guide" or "illustrator." |" The old lady, when we last saw her, nine years ago, was full of fight and en- ergy, and it would be hard to find a handsOmer woman than she was.-Chi- cagO News.

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR CONTAIN o

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand Q00,000) shares of ten ($10) dollars each.
 One-hali of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation Of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products q. the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 Tho fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to a full dividend semi-annually. It is reasonably expected that the com pany can declare dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been | disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will, be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay, able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pro vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor q mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay 8 bounty of two cents pei pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit Jre' of d,tty, until the first day of July, 1892 all machinery required for it's manu lecture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its las session, passed an act exempting al land used in the cultivation of sugal beets. as well as the plant and machin cry employed in the manufacture of do mestic sugar, from taxation for ter years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo lasses, candy and confectionery to th' value of $l0l ,293,S26, or sent away up wards of one hundred million dollars which can be retained at home by en couraging the manufacture of domesti sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matte from sugar beets in France is only pc cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is l per cent.
 It IS confdentlybelieved that the soi and sun of Arizona will yield muc larger polarization from sugar beet than France, Germany, California, or an other country and if these premises ar correct, the profits will exceed that of an other sugar factory in the United States
