This Town Has Lost Her River.

The town of Saratow, in the southeast
Of Russia, has lost u river-the Volga.
The water of the river has for some time
past been deserving the right arm of
the stream, upon which Saratow is built,
and flowing exclusively in the left arm,
which is about mile and a quarter dis
tant from the town. The former bed Of
the stream is now quite dry and is used
as a road to convey passengers and goods
which arrive by steamer to the town.

Velocity of the Meteor.

1t has been demonstrated that while
the greatest velocity impaired to can
non ball scarcely exceeds 600 meters q
second-about l 800 miles an hour
meteors from space penetrate the air
with velocity, it is claimed, of 10000,
sometimes 10000, meters per second.
This tremendous speed raises the
temperature of the air at once to 1000
or 5000 degrees centigrade, causing in
many cases the complete destruction of
the meteorite by combustion. San

An Island of Skeletons.

A party of explorers from San Fran
cisco has just returned from the Island
of San Nicholas, which lies some seventy
miles off the coast of California, opposite
Monterey county, whittier they went with
view of locating some land claims.
They report that they found the island
covered with the bones of human beings.
For distance of five miles the beach
was literally covered with skeletons.
They estimated that at least 5000 bodies
must have been buried there. In the
interior of the island they found rude
hut buried to the roof in sand. They
concluded that it was not worth while to
locate their claims on these bare rocks
and human bones.-[ Picayune.

A Most Interesting Find.

According to the Washington Star
the Smithsonian Institution has re-
ceived information of the recent dis.
covery at Tel-el-Amaria, in Upper
Egypt, of a number of tablets relating
to the history of Jerusalem and dat
ing back 600 years earlier than any
records hitherto known. When it is
understood that these tablets of stone
are letters passed between the King
OF Jerusalem and the Pharaoh Of
Egypt 400 years before the birth of
David, who was the father of Solo
mon, some notion will be formed of
their extreme interest. Several Of
the letters were addressed to the ruler
Of Egypt by the King Of Jerusalem.
Abdi-Taba. The cities of Palestine
were at that time tributary to Egypt,
and in one Of the letters the writer
says; "The Habiri people are con-
quering the cities OF the King"-i. e.,
the cities tributary to the Pharaoh
therefore the King may turn his face
to his subjects and send troops. If
the troops arrive this year the coun-
tries of the King, my Lord, may be
saved, but if no troops arrive the
countries Of the King, my Lord, will
exist no longer" This tremendous
"nnd" at Tel-el-Amaria includes two
hundred tablets, largely of Babylon
ian cuneiform script, which is thus
discovered for the first time to have
been in use at so early period in
Egypt and Palestine. Many of the
other tablets are dispatches Of about
the same date from projects of other
cities Of Palestine to the Pharaoh.
Some Of the inscriptions are in an un-
known language, which no one so far
has been able to translate. Solomon
himself would have looked upon these
tablets as remote antinuities

A Modern Robinson Crusoe.

Last Tuesday morning Rudolph Shauski,
a Greenville IN. Y fisherman, took spin
in his yacht around the bay. on Oyster
Island his vessel ran on a vessel and sank.
He took refuge upon the island. The tide
was high, and there was barely enough of
land exposed to afford him shelter. He
could see the lights in his home on the
Greenville shore as dusk deepened into
night and when they were extnguShed he
threw himself upon the rock of his island
prison and tried 10 sleep. When day broke
he tried to signal passing vessels, but they
evidently did not see his signs. Finally he
drew off his red Shirt, and, tying it to a
piece of driftwood. renewed his efforts to
hail rescuers. Hunger began TO gnaw, and
with biz of cord and piu-ho0k he caught
some fishes and satisfied his cravings by
eating them alive. Passing mariners mean
while sighted his signals They probably
suspected that it had been prepared for
their delasion by mischievons boys. To-
ward dusk Friday evening Frank Grady,
WHO was on the bay with his boat, noticed
the signal and set sail for the island. Soon
after, the experiences of this modern Rob-
inson Crusoe were brought to happy con-
cluslOn.-N. Y. Times.

cutting ARRAY that may terminate fata l.
" took place on Drumm street, near Jack
son, last night about $50 o'clock. The
wounded man was James Boyd. sailor
about 28 years old. He had been drinking,
and got into a row with man named
Timothy Mccarthy, who drew large clasp
knife and stabbed Boyd in a terrible man
ner. The knife-wielder. after nflictin G
several serious injuries, finally drove the
blade into B0yd's left groin.
Word was sent to the North Harbor Sta
ton, and Officer Ellis was quickly on the
scene, and led the wounded man into gro
Gerry on the corner. He then gave chase,
and soon caught up with Mccarthy. whom
he placed under arrest and started TO the
station with his prisoner. Some Of Me-
Carthy'S friends now put in an appearance,
and demanded the prisoners release. Ellis
rushed his man toward the station as last as
possible, but at the corner OF jackson and
Davis streets Mccarthy made desperate
efforts to get away, but the plucky officer
held on to his man aud dragged him along
Davis street Before he got him to the
station, James Quigley, big bury fellow,
who weighs 30 pounds, threw himself on
the officer before he could draw his Climb and
forced him to release Mccarthy. Ellis sue
ceeded in shaking off his assaiant, and then
dealt him blow with his fist that brought
the big fellow to his knees, Again and
again Quigley threw himself on the officer,
who had ali he could do to defend himself
until Sergeant Cohen ran out and took a
hand in the fight
Ellis again started in pursuit of his pris-
oner, who had run up Washington street,
and ne soon oyerhauled him and once more
started with him to the station, but Nc
Cartby made desperate fight. and it was
not until the determined officer had used his
club on him several times that he was landed
inside the station.
Tbs patrol wagon was then sent for and
the wounded man conveyed TO the Receiy-
ing Hospital The Police Surgeon cOnsid-
cred his injuries very dangerous. and the
poor fellow bled profusely. He was too
drunk TO give an account of the affair, but
said he was cut by a shipmate with whom
lie had been drinking.
Al the station Mccarthy admitted having
done the cutting, and took the whole thing
as huge joke IN spite of his sore head.

RECIPROCITY,
Regarded in Manchester as a Tremendous
RIoW to Free Trade.

Regarded in Manchester as a Tremendous
Blow to Free Trade.
Very little notice seems 10 have been
taken of the reciprocity treaty between
Brazil and the United States, which came
into operation on the 1st of April last The
effect of it is that % per cent of the Brazilian
duties are RENTED on American goods as
compared with those levied on English and
other similar goods. Take the case of cot
ton prints. The nominal duty on these
goods is 100 per cent, or equal to the
actual value OF the goods as imported. As
the duty, however, has to be paid In gold,
it is in reality nearly 200 per cent,
or twice the cost of the imported article.
ton prints will for the future enjoy
in the Brazilian market an advantage over
his English competitor equal to one-half the
cost of the manufactured article. Even
with the Mckinley tariff the cost of pr0duc-
ton in America cannot be nearly so much
in excess of the cost in England. We must
therefore look forward to the gradual loss
of our Brazilian market for our cotton goods
which means trade of at least e., 000, 600
per annum-nOt because we cannot beat the
world on equal terms, but because the
United States are able to purchase special
advantages by concessions" to Brazil. We
have no concessions, and we never
stipulate for special ana exclusive privileges.
We are endeayorfng to fight the CONNER
ciai battle of the world on free-trade lines.
aud wish to fight it out on these lines to the
bitter end. But it is the most uuwiSe and
ridiculous policy to shut our eyes to the fact
that this Blaine treaty is blow to the sue
cess OF our free-trade system. We have
always been taught to believe that our free
trade regime gave us pulp in neutral mar
kets; and so it does, and has done, so long
as we receive most-favored nation treat
meDt." If our free-trade system does not
secure US the moSt-fayored nation treat
ment, one of tine reasons for maintain
ing our free-trade system has disap-
peared. We have treaties or agree
ments to secure us this amount of fair play
with Bolivia. Chile and Mexico; but we
cannot be sure that these countries will not
be bribed by concessions" tocease to treat
our imports with fair play and equal jus
tice. We know that the attempt will be
made, for this Brazi liam business is part of
a great scheme to establish q customs union
of America at the expense of the trade of
South America with Europe.
And Canada? Our only guarantee against
Canada giving United States goods pref
erence over ours is in the jealousy of certain
United States commercial interests of Cana
dian competition.
Ii England and Europe pass over the con-
duct OF Brazil with polite and futile remon-
strances, 1t seems reasonable that the rest
of South America should follow the ex-
ample of Brazil. The matter is very seri-
ous.-Jt. James Gazette.

THE MASCOT FAILED.
McGucken's White Rat Couldn't
Win for San jose.
s Lively Game Captured at the Emeryville
Grounds by the Frisco Team Con-

Toby, the mascot, failed in his mission at
the Emeryville game yesterday between the
San Joses and Frisc0s. When Stallings
stepped to the plate in the last innlng-the
fatal ninth-the score stood TO in favor
of Harris and his men.
On several previous occasions the Garden
ers nave squeezed out Of tighter place on
pure luck. thus winning the sobriquet of the
Horseshoe Club" But yesterday was one
OF the occasions on which they did not win,
and it was all Toby's fault he proved a
yo0dOO instead Of a mascot
Toby is a little white raI, with a whjSker-
less tail and eyes that look like two rasp-
berry seeds stuck in ball of cotton. He is
the San Jose mascot, but at times he does not

Stallings stuck his bat in Toby's face.

Stallings Immediately popped up Lillipu-
tan fly, which fell into big Bill HasSamer's
rapacious clutches. The next two batters
sent flies to Cartwright and the game ended
with the San JOses several laps behind the
band-wagOn. Toby is McGucken's pet and
ne viii see that the little fellows life is
spared for selling the game. Last Saturday
at San Jose Everett had an owl tethered To
the players bench for a mascot. The Gar
deneTs lost and Everett took the owl out
behind the grand stand and wTung its neck.
1t was an even and interesting contest all
the way through, and was played to a small!
but appreciatiVe audience. Although Har-

they were not sure Of the result until the

FLOODED STOCK.
Robert Bonner and His Famous
Fast.Tr0tting ROadsters.

Robert Bonner, who set the fashion for
buying notably fast trotters at long prices,
has always refrained from taking part in a
contest between horses, or even against
time for money consideration, says
writer in Harper's Weekly. No other man
has owned as many famous performers as
Mr.. Bonner. or paid as much for the plea
sure Of driving a speedy roadster. He had
several remarkably good horses before he
purchased Dexter In 1867, on the very day
that tho wbite-faced gelding lowered the
trOttihg record to 2:17A at Buffalo. but the
price, $50. 600, was unprecedented, aud .the
possession of the king of The turf gave Mr..
Bonner a more extended reputation as a
h0rSeman than he had before possessed.
Since then he has been always liberal buy
er, and excepting Goldsmith Maid and ST.
julien, has secured every champion trotter
that has yet appeared. Dexter at one time
was an inmate of his stable on West Fifty
fifth street Rarus, now "A years old, will
not leave his stall again till he is carried
out, for his crippled front feet, which
troubled him even in his best days, have
now entirely failed him. Maud 5 too has
trotted her last mile against time, and the
peerless chestnut mare retires, in her sew
enteenth year, to Mr.. Bonner'S farm at
TarrytoWn. on the Hudson, where she will
be mated with his stallion AnSel, record
300 by ElectiOneer, and hereafter will bs

dueed her record after Mr. Bonner pur-
chased her, it is probable that the daughter
of harold could have set the mark still
lower, as she was only II years old when
she trotted her last public mile at Cleve-
land July 23 1885.
While Mr.. Bonner has given considerable
attention to breeding, and has on his farm
nearly a hundred head of fashionable stock,
he has not lost his old love for driving,
which he took up in the midst of his bust
ness career as matter of health by the adj
vice OF his physician. He may be truly
called the pioneer road rider, and. what is
still more important, made the owning of
fast trotter thoroughly respectable at time
when the turf was VIGOROUSLY bad and
everything connected with it was looked
upon with suspicion. While he wisely re-
Trained from having anything to 90 with
public racing, Mr.. Bonner saw no reason
why the shortcomings of the men who con-
trolled the turf should be visited upon the
horses themselves, and being DESTROYS OF
owning the best roadster that money could
buy he did not hesitate to 90 where the
