Across the Continent in a Box Car.

Fifteen bell boys in downtown hotels,
under the leadership of James E. Dono-
hue. have completed arrangements for a
novel journey across the continent.
The lads, whose homes are in the east
ern states, came to the coast at different
times in various capacities and ways,
and have never been enabled to save
enough money to pay their return pass
age. All are anxious TO go east.
They have dubbed together, and by
the payment of $40 each have raised a
fund sufficiently large to enable them to
carry out their project. They have
chartered common box freight car.
They will erect cots and hunks in their
car. An oil stove. cooking utensils and
a supply of provisions will complete the
outfit. Donohue and his fourteen com
panions expect to start on their journey
soon, and anticipate any amount of fun
on the trip.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A Pullman SLEEPER ON Fire.

When the east bound Washington ex-
press on the New England road, leaving
this city at 2:45 a. m, was few miles
this side of Willimantic Thursday, fire
was discovered in Pullman sleeper. L.
spread rapidly, and the passengers were
ordered out and placed in the other
sleeper, which fortunately had room
enough to accommodate them. 1t was
impossible TO extinguish the fire, and at
Willimantic the car was cut cut and the
fire department called. rs services
were, however. unnecessary, rs the fire
was got under control by other means
before its arrival. An accident Of this
kind is very unusual and though the fire
evidently started from the heater, 1t docs
not yet appear just how it originated.
The wood of the car in which it started
was badly burned, and the loss will be
considerable. The passengers were in
great excitement for little time, and
probably did not have a monopoly of I'M
pleasant agitation. They were all got
out without accident, and their effects
were removed uninjured - Hartford

THE ARTIFICIAL RAIN
Result of Government Exper-
 ments in Texas.
A SEQUENCE OR ACCIDENT
The Ftrst Experiment. Yieids Decidedly Encouraging EespIts-In Ten Hours tho Best Rain for Months
 Fell Texas.

MIDLAND, Tex, August la-The rain fall expedition sent out by the United States Department of Agriculture under the charge of Geueral R. c. Dyrenforth arrived at Midland last week and yesterday scored the first success. Last week was spent in conveying the supplies to the ranch of Mir. Nelson Morris, whic h Is locat- ed twenty three mile, north of this place. Satu rday and Monday part of the appara- tus was set up and test of it was made. in which a number of explosions " ere fired. The explosions of rackarock bombs caused great concussioas and were heard an felt distinctly at a considerable distance from the field of op eration. The explosives were all fired on and in the ground by means of electric batter ies.
 The trial was made primarily to test the apparatus, and was not calculated to be on scale extensive enough to insure rain. However in about ten hours after expo. sion clouds began to form and gather over tho Morris ranch nni the surround ing country, and about seventeen hours after the operation rain began to fall in copious quantities. The storm seemei to gather di- rectly over the ranch, and the fall of rain was heaviest at that point. The storm ex- tended over space of 1000 square miles and at the ranch tho rain continued to fall for space of six hours. About two inches fell at that point. This storm breaks drouth of long duration in this locality and is the best rain that has fallen op tho Morris ranch for more than two years
 All the apparatus will be in position in few days when a full trial will be made which will be watched with the greatest interest

DOUGLASS RESIGNS.
The Coiored Minister to Hayu Makes
 Way for n White Man.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1l.-Hon. Frederick Douglass, United States Minis ter to Hayti, has rendered his resign ation to the Department of State. The resigna ton, which has been so vo ciferously de- nied, is dated July 20. It is couched In few words and Is very formal. No reason whatever is assigned. When the son of Mir, Douglass was told of his fathers ac- tion he was incredulous, and iutimated that the matter had been kept a secret from the family. The Haytians have grumbled good while because this coun- try was represented at their capital by & negro. They have hinted repeatedly that . white minister would be preferable. But President after President, even Mir. Cleve- land, persisted in the view that this and the Liberian mission ought to so to the negroes in this country. The opposition seems to have reached its climax since Mir. Douglass has been Minister There were certain international concessions wanted Of Hayd and important negotiations were opened It was found that the Haytian Government was unwilling to deal through any but white men. Mir. Douglass was virtually ignored by tho Government to which he was sent. And ow he retires. The understanding Is that a white man will go as Minister to Hayti
