The "Clarions" gave two entertains
ments in this city-on Friday and Sat-
urday evenings of last week. On Friday
evening the audience at the Methodist
church was not large, but was so highly
pleased that the "Clarions" were per-
suaded to repeat the entertainment at
Memorial hall on the following evening,
to much larger audience. The singing
and speaking was well calculated to in
cite interest in the work of temperance.
Boys cannot be too careful in hand
ling and playing with gunpowder, and
this warning is particularly timely as
the Fourth of July season approaches.
John, the thirteen-year-old son of Chris
topher Lewis, narrowly escaped the to-
tai loss of his sight by the explosion of
powder. He put quantity of powder
and sand into can, into which lie
threw coal. No explosion occurring
the boy bent down and attempted to en-
liven the coal by blowing. The result
was violent explosion, and the lads
face was blown full of pawder ond sand.
The indications now are that he will not
be permanently injured.
On Saturday last lot of old horses,
said to be from the stables of the street
car company of Minneapolis, were offered
for sale by auction on the streets of this
city, and fonnd ready buyers at good
prices. The auctioneer was good one,
and he did an excellent days business,
disposing of more than dozen. The
introduction OF electricity as a motive
power on the street car lines has relieved
the company of the necessity of keeping
horses, which are now being offered for
sale. IT seems a little remarkable for the
cities to be sending horses into the
country for sale-contrary to the usual
and general order of things.

Utica Observer, Eve have been reading
i glowing accounts of the abundance o
ore our tin mines would produce som'
time or another. Our republican con
temporaries have attempted to justif.
the tin-plate taxation largely on thi
feeble possibility or prediction" Pro
! tectionists justify the tariff on tip plat
on grounds entirely independent of Amer
lean tin. Whether American tin mine
can produce single pound of tin or not
we want a tariff on tin plates, for W
know that we can produce those just a
well as they can be produced In Vale
We have the steel and iron which const
tute 81 per cent, of the material used i
their manufacture. and we can get tn
other three per cent.-the metallic tin
just where England gets it and just q
cheaply. For it is only a very small pal
