SILK THAT Makes DANGER
The Liability TO Spontaneous C0mbus-
ton Makes 1t Very Risky Freight.

The Liability 70 Spontaneous Combus-
ton Makes It Very Risky Freight.
From the Neio I-ori; Recorder.
The recent discu sion as whether ocean
liners should carry cotton as we'll as pas
sengers at the same time has brought out
another fact. "At present importers here, !"
a gentleman said, "are receiving large cons
signments of a heavydyed silk known as
French twist. The French manufacturers
do rot spare the dye on these goods, for it
adds to their weight. In this dye chemicals
of peculiar kind are used, and it is this
fact that makes this silk dangerous freight.
There is always fear Of spontaneous
combustion unless the greatest care ID taken
in packing the goods. These come IN bales
of various sizes, but generally averaging
500 pounds. They are wrapped in cotton
bagging, with underlying layers Of straw
and brown paper, and are made compact by
hydraulic pressure. There have been cases
where bales have been destroyed from the
causes mentioned, and not many years ago
a serious fire was caused on q French steamer
by these goods"
Steamship men generally say that they
are aware OF the danger of carrying these
silks, and that the greatest care is taken
whenever they are carried as freight. One
or two lines, indeed, discriminate against
this freight and will not carry 1t.

UNCOMMON SIGHTS IN INDIANA.
White River to the Bed.
From tie CHICAGO Tribune.

COLUMBUS, IND, July 2O.-Along the
banks of the White river, about two miles
north of this city at 2 o'clock p. m. to-day,
while there was apparently no air stirring
and the heat of the sun was intense, low,
murmuring noise was heard at the waters
edge some distance from picnicking party,
the members of which fastened TO see what
caused it. When the bank was reached the
party saw water, weeds and small willows
twisted from their places of growth by
what was first thought to be a
small whirlwind, with a base of about
one foot in diameter. The observing party
was terror-stricken at what followed. The
atmospheric disturbance began to enlarge
its area, and like mammoth augur,
though in funnel shape, began to take up
not only the growth of vegetation but the
water as we'll For five minutes 1t remained
in one place and than started up the stream,
tapping up the water until the bottom Of
the stream could be seen. The water thus
carried up was famed into mist which
obscured the rays of the sun for almost an
hour and finally drifted away to the nortl .

SAVED FROM A SCANDAL.

washington Society Shocked by An
Apparent Drunk in high Life.
From the st. Louis Chronicle.
A wild whoop resounded through the air
near one OF the fashionable sections OF
Washington the other evening, and several
windows were showed open by sedate hands.
IL came from a coach which was setting the
echoes in a commotion with laughter. The
feminine quality was not absent from the
vocal demonstration, and on close observa-
ton il was noticeable that women predOmi-
mated. Songs were roared, and portions
that should have been whispered if il was
found necessary to utter them at all were
howled out in stenkorian struggles for
high c.
The carriage neared the house Of man
whose name is known the country over, and
whose family Is prominent in snciety. w hat
was the surprise of the neighbOrs who looked
out OF the windows to see the vehicle stop
in front of this house. A quarrel about the
! fare followed, and quite a crowd collected.
| Several women of the reighborhood stood

TO the front gate.
The door of the residence was opened and

! John seemed to be getting as much fun out
of the occasion as anybody, and he whooped
occasionally just to keep himself in tune.
| His attitude toward his passengers was one
of the utmost familiarity. and as he de-
manded his pay he would occasionally in
| terpolate some epithet of endearment in
manner that was too blunt to be altogether
! sincere.
The good women at the gates and door
ways were scandalized. They had heard of
| goings on in high life, but they were not
prepared for any such revelation as this. A
little group had gathered and a spirited in
| dignation meeting was held while the white
whiskered man helped two girls out of the
carriage. Their hats fell over their eyes
in an abandoned fashion and their feet
would sometimes drag a little on the pave

Three members OF the Episcopal con
gress sat in n corner Of the LafayeIte
writing room talking over some impor-
tant subject. al were men ranging
from so to 65 years, all were dressed IN
black. and the face of each wore look
of intense interest. Those who notlced
these gentlemen were aware that they
were discussing some important church
question, and nobody heard what they
said but one young man who appeared
to have fallen asleep in a chair near by
AS he half opened his eyes the western
bishop gravely said:
"Gentlemen, wish to ask question.
The others drew nearer as the bishop,
carefully adjusting his spectacles, con-
tinued: Gentlemen, why is grim death
like tin can tied to dogs tail?'
A silence ensued. The two clergymen
thus addressed unused for while and
then shook their heads Give it up
they said.
A grim smile spread over the bishops
face as he added, "Grim death is like 8
tin can tied to dogs tail because it'S
bound to a pup" Then he burst into 6
roar of laughter, and the others made
feeble efforts to join him and appreciate
the joke.
Late that evening the three met AGAR
in the Lafayette corridor, and the bishop
little embarrassed, said: Gentlemen

AS Others See Us.

A funny story is told at the expense of
Sir Richard Moon, chairman of the board
of directors of the London and North
western Railway company. Sir Richard
is one of the most energetic railway
magnates known, and is the ter
ror of the employees of the company,
for they never know when lie is about
to pounce upon them. He makes point
of visiting every station on the line at
least once year, and has an odd habit
Of overhauling the books and accounts
of station masters at announcement times.
He knows the price of everything, and
is said to have rowed an unfortunate
freight agent for giving too much for a
packet of carpet tacks.
One day he dropped in at Crewe station
about a. m. and saw Il couple of porters
hard at work cleaning up things gener-
ally. Sir Richard was delighted. This
is the right way, men," he exclaimed,
81 like to see such painstalzing industry
begun SO bright and early in the morn,

man addressed tartly, who of course die

was. "We don't commence work at this
unearthly hour, but we've just heard
that old nuisance, Moon, is on the road
somewhere and we're getting ready il

Valuable Sand Lots.

Accident in making what afterward
turn out to be good investments is always
favorite theme for discussion. An in
stance was cited where young man
went to Tacoma on a flying visit in the
early days of the place, when the prin-
cipal part of the town was its name.
He was there only few hours, but in
that time was induced to buy several
lots for almost nothing. Those lots
made a fortune for him so suddenly that
he could hardly realize that it could be
possible.
Mark Sheldon, the wealthy real estate
owner of San Francisco, made his fort
une out of bad debt He had grown
rich and poor in several ventures, and
when hard pressed once tried to collect
all the money that was due him. One
debtor was unable to give him cent
but compromised his debt by handing
over to Mr.. Sheldon some sand lots il
what is now Market street, San Fran
cisco.
Sand lots were not very valuable il
those days, and Mr.. Sheldon found nc
opportunity to dispose of his until he
saw that he might make pretty sum Of
them. So he held on to them, and there
is no more valuable real estate in the

Dead poets have made,
Ere LIE had fetter,
Ere love was afraid?"
Then up with the anchor!
