freed the Minister.

One sunny Sabbath morning the late
Rev. Samuel Hamilton found himself
preaching to an attentive congregation
in p Kentucky town. 1t SO happened
that tipsy man strayed like a black
sheep into the fold; but no one object
ed and things ran smoothly enough.
Presently a small dog entered at the
open door and trotted down the aisle
until it reached the front of the pulpit,
when it set up furious barking at the
minister The tipsy man, with the ut
most gravity, arose and walked steadi-
ly down the aisle to where the dog was
barking. Selling the animal by the
neck, he held him up before the congre-
cation a moment, and then shaking him
furiously, he broke out with: Tree a
preacher, will you, you ill-bred pup"
This was too much for Mr.. Hamilton.
He could not restrain his laughter and
he took his seat, not being able to dis
miss his congregation. Yankee Blade.

According to popular tradition, the
island of Manhattan was sold in 1861
for the sum of twenty-five dollars. The
conclusion one would naturally jump &c
would be, that, in the light of subse
quent events, the sum was ridiculous
ly small price. But let us suppose that
twenty-five dollars had been place out
at seven per cent. interest in the year
1924. and had been allowed to com
pound up to the year 1884, how much
would it then have amounted to? Some
thing in the neighborhood of sixteen

From now on there will be daily and night

will no doubt have quite treat, as this

Evidence for the Contestants Almost All
in Mt Butte.
BUTTE, Aug. 21.-[Special. ID. r. Ames,
the expert, continued his testimony in the
Davis will case to-day. He denied that the
alleged will was written in Moore's ink, and
said If it had been it could not have re-
tanned its present appearance. @. W. Car
roll, of Bloomfield, Iowa, went to school
with J. II. Eddy and taught it for time.
He taught Eddy writing. He couldn't tell
whether the alleged will was in his hand
writing or not. He thought James II.
Eddy wrote the body of the will. He
was a poor speller. James Rouch, of Salt
Creek township. Iowa, had seen Eddy write
in school and paid particular attention to
his writing. He thought James II. Eddy
wrote the will. E. Linaberry, of Bloom
field, Iowa, saw Eddy write twice and
thought Eddy wrote the body of the will.
The witness produced letter alleged to De
from Eddy and it was offered in evidence to
show the similarity between it and the
will. II WAS not admitted.
D. b. Burchett, ex-sheritf of Bloomfield,
had seen Eddy write, and declared the will
to be in his handwriting. j. r. HUMPHREYS,
of Tell county, Ark, has known John G.
Sconce since 1883, and said that on Sept ~,
last, Sconce said to him that he did not see
Davis sign the will. Sconoe also said that
when he signed the will the signature Of
A. j. Davis was not upon it. Reuben Hum
phries, father of the last witness, knew
John G. Sconce, and heard him say that he
did not see A. j. Davis name on the will
when he (Soonce) signed it.
A number of documents were offered in
evidence by the contestants, consisting of
bonds, answers to complaints, and other
legal complaints, all containing purported
signatures of A. j. Davis. but the papers
were not admitted in evidence. The con-
testants will close their case tomorrow.

TO JOIN THE REGULARS.
Plan to Muster the State Militia Into tn
National Service.

Plan To Muster the State Militia Into tho
National Service.
ST. LouIs. Aug. 2l.--The Post Dispatch
this afternoon says scheme is on foot to
by which the militia of the states will be
put under national pay and supervision. II
was started by officers of the regular army
at an encampment of state militia at Camp
Wickham the other day, and circulars and
personal letters concerning it are now lying
thick and fast about the country. 1t is the
most radical plan to change the condition
of the militia Of the country that has risen
since the war. Officers Lieut.. Robert T..
Evans, Twelfth infantry, and Lieut.. Joseph
b. Bachelor, Twenty-fifth infantry, gave II
resume of the plan to the encampment.
After making careful comparison of the
standing army of the United States with
those of other countries, they concluded
that something must be done to dignity
the militia force Of this country. The
constitution of the Association of National
Guards of the United States provides that
the national guards of various states be
enrolled in the national guards of the
United States, remaining under state con-
troll in time of peace, but being Immediately
available for national defense in case of
war. The governor of any state will for
ward to the secretary of war the application
of any company of not less than sixty men
who desire to join the association. Each
cavalry troop will be paid $1,000 the first
year it is organized and $4,000 for subse-
quent years. The artille.y receives the
same. Infantry companies will get $1,000
each.
Lieutenants Evans and Bachelor said the
organization is to be Effected by bill which
congress will be asked Jto pass at the coming
! session. Petitions are being gotten up in
all states and the movement is widespread,
but has been kept quite until it leaked out
at Camp Wickham. The plan is approved
by all officers and men of the state militia
and also by Adju ant General Wickham.

Effective Measures of Capt. Baker to
nuell an Emcute.
NEW York, Aug. 21.-Capt. Baker. of the
Netherland line steamship Ondan. which
reached this port last night. reports that
twenty-four hours after leaving port on the
last trip, he became aware of plot among
firemen and stokers to take possession of
the ship. He went down into the furnace
room and was greeted, with Kisses. Next
day the vessel WAS stopped without orders
from her officers. While they were inquir
ing the cause of stoppage the chief engi-
neer came rushing on deck, stating that the
men had drawn the fires from the furnaces
and threatened his life. The captain went
below and asked what the trouble was. The
crowd replied with IL general howl, and
Peter Duzen, who was spokesman for the
crowd, said: 1--WE have grown tired of
this life and intend to run things to suit
ourselves" After some mora talk in sim
liar strain Duzen picked up heavy iron
pick and sprang at Baker. The latter drew
his revolver and fired. hitting Duzsn, who
fell to the floor and expired in q couple of
hours. The rest of the mutineers precipi-
buried at sea. On the arrival of 0e steamer
at Rotterdam Baker had the mtftineers ar
rested and gave himself up on a charge of
murder. He was placed under $4,000
bonds to appear for trial and return his
vessel to port. Shipping men are confident
that he will be personally acquitted. There
were 300 passengers on board the steamer at
the time of the trsatened mutiny.
Duzen was q native of Holland. Papers
on his body showed him to have been a
leading socialist and to have been a bad
character.
In the socialist congress at Brussels to-
day Mr.. Sprew, of the Firemen's and Sea-
mems union, made special address in
which he said that few weeks
ago the captain of q steamer running be-
tween New York and Rotterdam SO badly
fed his crew that one of them became too
ill to work. The captain o dered him to
resume work, then shot him dead. Three
hundred passengers petitioned the Dutch
government to arrest him, but he was SO in
fuential that he WAS not arrested. Cup

Mr.. Haggin Discusses the Situation With
New York Reporter.
New YORK. Aug. 2l.-Speaking recently
of the closing of the Anaconda mines in
Montana, Mr.. Haggin said: 1.-THE mines
were closed because I would not consent to
pay the exorbitant rates demanded by the
Montana Union, which is jointly controlled
by the Union Pacific and the Northern Pa
cifc lines. Originally their rates for car
riage from the mines to the works. both in
Montana, was 45 cents ton: This being
raised to go cents ton, I tried to induce
them to make reasonable concession, but
failed.'
"It is reported that you intend, in con-
junction with others, to build a new road
of your own in connection with the Union
Pacific or Northern Pacitic.''
II don't care to say anything about that
matter more than this: If we build road
it will be entirely independent OF any sys-
tenn. However, it is by no ms ans impossi-
BILE that we shall finally accept The Montana
Unions terms"
SIS the copper ore trade in condition
sufficiently hourishing to Justify your re-
opening the Anaconda mines?''
1.-The trade is lower than it has been,"
replied Mr.. Haggin, "and yet at the same
time it is good"
Good enough to warrant the expense of
new independent line of road?"
"Yes"
