ALLIANCE MISSIONARIES.
President Polk and Jerry Simpson Going
to WhoOp 1t Up.

WASHINGTON, June president Polk,
of the National Farmers Alliance, and
Congressman Jerry Simpson left last
night for La Crosse, Wis, to attend a
convention of different industrial organ
izations of that state, next Tuesday for
the purpose OF uniting with the national
alliance as one working body. After the
organization of the alliance is com
pleted, they will make several speeches
in that state, and then proceed
to Illinois, Indiana. Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York, where mass
meetings have been arranged to discuss
the principles of the order. President
Polk has arranged through the state
Alliance presidents to have mass meet
ings at several points in each of forty
states during the next four months. He
will have hundreds of speakers at work
through the union, educating, as he
says, the masses to the Alliance cause
before the meeting OF the Fifty-second
congress. By the time the national con-
vention meets in November, he thinks,
the Alliance will be fully posted as to
what strength the order will have as a
presidential and congressional factor in
1872.

woodpecker,s .yust,ce.

A year ago pair of red headed wood
peckers determined to peck a hole in the
boarding under the caves Of house, as
woodpeckers often do. The owner of the
house, not liking such mutilation. after
repeated efforts succeeded in driving
them away, and they went to work at
once and ding hole in the nearest ttTse.
When the birds home was finished and
housekeeping had begun the farmers
boys captured the female asshe sat in the
nest and kept her in cage. hoping to
catch the male also. y
Two days later he returned with an
other wife. The boys relented at the
sight, They gave Mrs. Woodpecker No.
her liberty and awaited results. s,t
To their surprise the male woodpecker,
after a relentless pursuit of about six
hours, killed her. Then he destroyed the
one egg which she had laid, and contin-
ued housekeeping with wife No. . as

Beating stree. Car Railways.

tits hard to get ahead of the street car
companies, but some people in Chicago
think they are going to do it. They are
having constructed vehicles exactly like
street cars, except that the wheels are
little larger. They are gauged to fit the
car tracks, and it is proposed to run them
on the tracks just like any horse car, with
out asking with your leave or by your
leave. They will stop like the street
cars and charge the same fare. II the
car companies object, owners of the new
vehicles will point to the fact that they
are simply omnibuses, which are en-
titled to use any portion of the public
streets, whether tracks happen to be
there or not If the car companies don't
like their tracks to be used they are at
liberty to take them way.--Exchange.

A WOMAN IN THE CASE.
THE ANrMus OF THE OPPOSITION
TO DIR. BROOKS.
DR.. De Costa's Underhanded Proceedings.
The Name of His Correspondent Dis
closed--She Is Now in California.

New York, June Ever since DIR.
De Costa began his war upon Phillips
Brooks, in his efforts to keep the latter
out of the bishoprc of Massachusetts,
he has founded his arraignment of the
Boston preacher upon the statements Of
a correspondent of his in Boston. This
person, he said, must remain anony-
NOUS, but he could assure the public
that the person was one of responsibility
and one whose statements could be re-
lied upon. 1t has now leaked out that
DIR. De Costa's correspondent is Miss A.
A. Chevallier, who established herself
in this town two years ago, coming from
Boston. When the International Maga-
zine of Christian Science went to
pieces under Miss Plunkitt's peculiar
view of marriage, Miss Chevallier took
it up and revived it under the name OF
the. Magazine OF Truth. She was an
ardent. Christian scientist, and soon
after she came she organized a society,
of which Rev. DIR. Heber Newton was
made the head. When DIR. Newton
took up the cause of the Peoples NUM-
cipal league, Miss Chevallier broke with
him, and has had a good deal to say
against him since.
''I can understand now," said a
churchman today, "why DIR. De Costa
has kept back the name of his corre-
spondent. 1t is because he knew her
name would not carry any weight in the
church. l am much surprised at his
making the assumption, as he has all
along, that she was an important
person, and that DIR. Brooks would have
to answer her and explain his views as
she describes them"
At Miss Chevallier's own Office, OPP
posite the Windsor hotel, which she
has given up, it was said she was in
California now. DIR. De Costa says his
correspondent is in California, too.

WASHINGTON, juno 7.-Secretary Rusk
has issued orders prescribing the rules
and regulations to govern the shipment
and transportation of cattle from the
United States to foreign countries,

NEW USE OF EXPLOSIVES.
The Art of Engraving Facilitated b.
Powder and Dynamite.

fOWuer anu DyudmItos
New YORK, June 7.-Among the
many new uses to which gunpowder and
other high explosives have been ap-
piled recently, is that of engraving. By
means of the force generated by the de-
tonation of these articles, the lines of
delicate leaves, grass and insects have
been impressed in the surface of the
hardest iron procurable in the space of
half second. By the old process
hours were consumed. At New
port, a few weeks ago, heavy charge
of dynamite was exploded by officers,
who were delegated by the government
to test the new method of electricity in
fuses. Somehow a small dried leaf,
without the knowledge of the officers,
had slipped in between the dynamite
cartridge and the iron block from which
the charge had been fired. When the
experiment had been completed, the
officers were surprised to find perfect
imprint of the leaf in the iron. The
most delicate lines were reproduced
with startling distinctness. A series of
experiments, which was attended with
remarkable success, followed.

COLLECTED OF MINISTERS.

New York, June 7.-An announce
ment was made late tonight by the Tre-
mont police, that an unknown man at
tempted to shoot Rev. Clark Wright,
pastor of the fremont Methodist Epis-
copal church, at his residence, Saturday
evening. William Monser has been ar
rested on suspicion. 1t appears that
Monser had called on the minister
lately, saying three or four years ago he
was connected with Wright's church.
He told story of poverty and wretched-
ness, that his family was actually starving
for want of money. He called on the
minister Friday, who told him to come
the following day. Meanwhile the min
lister made inquiries and found that the
man was fraud. When Monser called
Saturday Wright refused to give him
any money. The fellow then whipped
out a revolver and fired at the minister,
and without waiting to see the effect ran
away. Fortunately he did notlhit him.
Monser has apparently been doing a
business of collecting money from min
listers, as he had the addresses of 4S0
ministers in this city. 4a

not quite rival the crowds which fre-

MoRGAN AND THE PRIESTS.

WASHINGTON, June 12-During the last
two years the relations existing between
Indian Commissioner Morgan and the
Catholic bureau Of Indian missions have
been somewhat strained. This difficulty
had its origin in the Catholic opposition
to Mr.. Morgan's policy of substituting
government schools for denominational
schools on Indian reservations. Since that
time there has been no personal commu-
nicatiou between the commissioner and
Father Stephan. the head of the Catholic
bureau. Under those circumstances the
disbursement of the large fund paid by
the government through the Catholic
bureau for carrying on the Catholic mis-
sion schools has been attended with diff
Guilty, and at times with serious embar-
rassment Finding that their work was
retarded by the continuance of this condi-
tion of affairs, Rev. Father Chapelle, D. d.,
who is in charge of the bureau during the
absence of Father Stephan in Europe has
had conference with Mr.. Morgan, at
which an amicable understanding was
reached. MI Morgan, however, plainly
stated that, while the present number of
contract schools would be continued dur
ing the next year as directed by recent
legislation, no new schools will be author

THE ,NTERApPELLATE COURT

WASHINGTON, June 12-The President
will not appoint the Judges for the new
Interappellate Court provived by leglsts-
ton had at the last session of congress, out
that court will meet nevertheless. IG Will
sit in sections which will meet on next
Tuesday Initiatory arrangements Tor
their assem- mblage have been made by At
torney General Miller, who today sent let,
ters bearing on the subject to the United
States Marshals at Boston. New York,
Philadelphia, Richmond, New Orleans;
Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco and
Cincinnati. In his letters to the
Marshals the Attorney General IN
forms them of the date OF the
meeting of the court. They are also IN
structed to prepare places for the meetings
in buildings belonging to the United
States, and provide for bailiffs. criers and
other miscellaneous expenses. Among
other things they will pay to each Judge
constituting the court which sits within
their jurisdiction the sum of $40 for each
day of its session for expenses. Exactly
how the several courts will be constituted
is not known by the attorney general, as
that matter rests in measure with
the members of the supreme court.
The law provides that each court
shall be made up of a justice OF the
United States supreme court, VINO Is 10
provide an associate judge, to be appoint
ed nnder the organic act and the CIRCUIT
Judge OF the district in which the court Is
held. or in the latter's absence or inability,
United States district judge, to be
designated by the member of the supreme
court in each case. As the president Will
not designate the associate judge before
congress meets the organization of the
new courts will, as stated, devolve IN
very great measure upon the supreme
court judges. Associate Justice Brewer
and Circuit Judge Caldwell will be at st.
Louis for the eighth circuit.
It is provided that each court consists of
three members, two of whom will constl-
tute quorum. The additional member
will he taken from the bench of United
States district judges, their dispositions
being made by the presiding associate JUS
tice of the United States supreme court.
If the circuit judge cannot be present,
then the associate justice will have two in
stead of one district judge on the bench
with him. 1t is not expected that the
courts will transact very much business
beyond preliminary organization.

BUT BY SOARING.

He VIII Succeed Yet, Says an Inyesti-
gator. and His Voyaging viii Be on
the AcropIane Principle-AustraIiaH Has

Man will yet learn how to fly. Pro-
fessor Langley, secretary of the Smith
sonian institution, so declared in an ad-
dress delivered before the National
Academy of Sciences. This ought to
give much encouragement to thinkers
who hope that mankind will some day
secure domain in the element of birds,
just as it has already done, thanks to the
evolution of submarine boats and diving
gear, in that of fishes. The distinguish
ed scientist referred to expressed conf
dence that the contrivance of the future
for aerial navigation would be on the
kite principle.
The air possesses elements of buoy
ancy which have not been recognized
hitherto. There is no truth in the popu-
lar conception that body heavier than
the atmosphere cannot be suspended in
that medium without motion. A kite
of sticks and paper is much heavier than
the fluid which it displaces, bat it is sus-
tanned aloft. You can find an example
much more striking, however, in the
eagle or the frigate bird, which, though
an animal of considerable weight, re-
mains poised in the sky upon extended
pinions motionless for hours together, SO
that a telescope may be trained on it.
Thousands Of feet above the earth it is
sustained without movement Of a feath-
er, though In a rarefied atmosphere.
This is possible because the suspended
fowl has an instructive knowledge Of the
way in which TO utilize the air currents
