technical terms that I shall merely say
that the idea is to send a number of
beautifully decorated little baskets of
brass wire through the congregation at
collection time, each basket, of course,
following n different course, and NOV

the most careless member of theoongre-
cation can BIO taken by surprise by it's
arrival, yet have ample time to get out
his pocketboolk and contribute. In

rapid rate Of speed, will be made by
each basket.
''By q singularly clever and delicate
adjustment of hair springs and dyno-

the renowned Spanish scientist, Don
Dondorado, Of Upper Rolobombasto,
each basket can correctly register on a
dial in the vestry room each coin or

when q basket returns the exact sum it
contains is already plainly in view Of

amount Of warm argument and bitter,
ness of feeling, to introduce, among
other innovations, into the Quitting of
sacred edificc, the complete system of
the invention known as Wattlesmith's
automatic climax contribution collector
The invention, which is somewhat
elaborate and intricate, until the oper-
ator becomes thoroughly acquainted
with it's working, has been placed in
but few churches in the eastern part OF
the country as yet, but has found firm
.foothold in many cities and towns Of
the west, southwest and distant north
west, and, indeed, it was through the
influence of one of the leading vestry-
men of the Philadelphia church in ques-
ton, who saw the system In operation
in Walla Walla, Wash, that this city Is
to have the experiment tried within its
borders.
In speaking of the invention, the YES
tryman who has successfully urged
trial of Mr. Wattlesmiths scheme for
collecting the contributions of church
goers automatically, said to Record
reporter: ''It was very natural that
my plan Of introducing the invention in
our church should have met with strong
opposition, because the idea is natural
ly SO extremely radical one that any
gathering of church officers would nat
urally be rather startled at the PROPOSE
ton to adopt it; but, after much argu-
ment and many personal appeals, sue

"Wattlesmiths idea, as he himself
candidly admits, is taken from the cash
railways and toboggan slides used In
the big retail shops; but he has used
great many improvements In working
out his plan, and it embodies the use of
compressed air, gravitation and cleo
tricity. To describe it in detail would

Sake drinking, according to writer
IN the American Antiquarian, is one of
the great curses of Japan. In 1870 the
amount of rice converted into sake
amounted to $4,000, 900 bushels. Pledges
to abstain from the habit are frequent

Romantic suicide.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 26.-An inquest is
being held today on the remains of
Frank George, a suicide from taking
morphine, who it is supposed was worth
considerable property in King county,
Wash. Before suiciding he purchased a
cemetery lot, selected his tombstone,
coffin, etc., and arranged all the details
for his funeral, paying for everything but
the coffin and the undertaker's charges.
This occurred few weeks ago. He then
appeared to be perfectly sound in mind
and body and in good spirits. Nothing
further was heard of him until yester-
day, when he was found dead in his bed
at a lodging house. From his appear
ance he must have been dead more than
twelve hours. He left several letters.
In one to the undertakers with whom
he had arranged for his burial, he in
inclosed 800 and wrote. please dc

To Liberate Cuba.

I New YORK, Feb. 26.-Another reyolu-
is on foot to iberate' Cuba. Prepare
tions are in active progress and the first
blow may be struck within few days.
The movement is to be the largest and
most completely organization ever inaug-
urated for Cuban independence. There
are said to be 5000 Cuban patriots in
this country ready to join the war In
Cuba the reyolutionist party is also act
lively preparing for the outbreak, and
when the word is given the forces on
Spanish and United States soil will act
in conjunction for the overthrow of the
Spanish yoke. The plans have been in
progress for several months, but so
much secresy has been maintained that
the news of the contemplated uprising
only leaked out yesterday. B. A. C.
Smith, the well-known Wall street
banker, who has immense interests in
Cuba, when spoken to regarding the
probable revolutions, said the island was
never in more prosperous condition.
The planters were Investing their money
at home, and that fact demonstrated to
him that they have NO idea Of revolu-

NEW York, Feb. 26.-Dispatches from
Berlin give particulars of one of the
worst riots of modern times. It was
caused by refusal of the government
officials to receive deputation from
several thousand poor people, out of EN-
ployment, urging their appeals by the
pangs of hunger for bread. The men
wanted Herr Forokenbeck to ask the
emperor to appoint fair and unprejud-
iced commission to enquire into the
wrongs which the workmen complain of,
and promote Immediately the legislation
necessary to reduce their grieviences,
but, in spite of his well-known political
sympathies, the burgomaster refused to
receive the delegation, sending them a
message to the effect that the work.
men had better return peaceab'y to
their homes, as there was nothing to
be gained by demonstration. In
famed by sense of their feelings that
great wrongs were perpetrated upon
them, the demonstration continued un-
til it broke out in fierce riot. The
whole police force of Berlin was called
oot, uhNSL Ol0cAS W w W dF4y CAcHStnAGy
to suppress the rising. The working
people were not sanguinary, but they
were resolute. They opposed the police
stubbornlv, and refused to disperse.
They gathered in large body on the
Frankturter strasse with the intention
of marching toward the palace near
Kaiser strasse, where severe conflict
took place. The police used their
weapons unsparingly. while the popu-
lace were but poorly prepared to meet
the solid attack of the well-armed police
force. They battled bravely. however,
with sticks and any other weapons that
each happened to have. 1t is said the
soldiers were in sympathy with the
rioters, but as the police acted with
much judgment the riot was suppressed
with less casualty than might be ex:
pected. Large numbers were wounded
more or less severely, but it is not known
yet whether any were killed. A multi
tude of prisoners were taken and lodged
under a strong guard in the cells. The
military remained under arms, but
took no part in the struggle. This
course is said to have been followed BY
the direct orders of the kaiser, who was
made aware of the situation as soon al
the riot first broke out. He commanded
that the military should not interfere
unless the police should prove them
selves unable to cope with the mob.

man about forty years of age hobbled

bare feet bruised and his eyes glaring.

Flynn, and than he had been sheep
herding in the John Day country. He
started to town, was robbed of his money
and clothes by tramps, and had slept
out on the hills several days without
food. Clothing and shoes were furnished
him and food offered, but he could not
eat. About two hours after he arrived
he disappeared suddenly and party
was sent to search for him, expecting to
find him dead. He was found at noon,
eight miles east of here, wandering aim
lessly about i'll demented condition.
He will be examined and probably sent

Attempted Assassination.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 26.-An attempt
to assassinate John McDonough, mayor
of the city, was frustrated Wednesday
night, solely by the mayors suspicious.
Late that night two negroes aroused the
mayor and tried to induce him to leave
his residence on the pretext that he was
needed at police headquarters and that
they had been sent for him. He was
suspicious and did not leave the house.
In the morning it was ascertained that
the negroes had lied, and another negro
voluntarily confessed he had been hired
to get the mayor out of his house
Wednesday night. For his services he
was to receive $50. He backed out, and
the party employed other negroes. tits
said the principals we're lying in wait
behind the trees, and as soon as the
mayor left his house they were going to
shoot him. The police are on the rack
of the parties. The mayor has been
extremely severe ON evil doers and
especially on violators OF the Sunday
law, and the plot to assassinate him
lgrew out of that fact. The publication
of the fact aroused intense feeling.
