That ceremony, according to the Lon

that an execution thus executed was

Can False Teeth BE Made to Crow

They can. according to DR.. Znamens-
Ky, Russian dentist, residing in Mos
COW, who has been for some time ex
perimenting on dogs and cats and
human beings. DR.. Znamensky claims
to be able, by his process. to cause. false
teeth to adhere as firmly to the jaws as
those with which we are provided by
nature. After drilling a hole IN the
false tooth, and a corresponding one in
the jaw bone, he inserts the tooth in
the cavity, and in twenty-four hours a
soft. granular. semi-fuid substance
makes its way from the jawboue into
the hole drilled in the tooth. This soon
hardens. and the tooth remains firmly
in position.

A Novel Library.

A curious collection of books is con-
tanned in the library Of Warstenstein,
near Cassel, in Germany. The books
appear at first sight to be logs of wool,
hut each volume is really a complete
history of the tree it represents. The
back shows the bark in which a small
piece is cut to write the scientific and
common name as title. One side
shows the tree trunk in it's natural
state and the other It's polished and var

is added full description of the tree
and its products.

MRS. LEVI P. MORTON.
Washington Society VIII Be Sorry
to Have Her GO Away.
No Woman Has Done So Much to Make
Social Life Brilliant IN the National
Capital During the Harrison
Administratton.

Mrs. Morton, the wife of the vice
president, has been one of the most
popular women in Washington during
the present administration, and, every
body, without respect to politics. will
be very sorry TO lose her. But New
York viii be glad TO receive her back.
Before her marriage Mrs. Morton was
Miss Anne Street, and WAS great belle
in New York twenty years ago. On her
mothers side she is connected with the
Stuyvesents, and her fathers family
was hardly less well known. When she
married the banker she at once became
a social power, and has remained so
ever since. During her husbands term
as minister to France she charmed all
Paris and made her house a central
point in the life of the gay capital.
Here it was that she eSta bllshed her
reputation for brilliant entertainments.
Mr. Morton was not hampercd by the
mcagerness of the salary of an Ameri-
can minister, and in keeping up his es-
tablisEment he far exceeded the small
sum allowed by the government. In
Mrs. Mortons salon ell classes of dis
tinguished people were found and her
receptions were the most noted of that
time So splendid, indeed, were these
entertainments that after the election
in 1855 French people, who could
not understand why a vice president
could not become a foreign minister,
expressed the hope that they might
again see Mr.. and Mrs Morton in
Paris. a prettier compliment was
never paid to an American representa-
tive in a foreign country.
The Washington home of the Mortons
on Rhode Island avenue was built sew
eral years ago, but has been almost
wholly reconstructed. Large as 1t is it

BY Their Arrest and the Reinstatement
of Non-Unton Men.
SPOKANE, Wash, July 16.-Reports
from Ceur d'Alene today state that the
mineas who are under arrest seem dazed
by the suddenness with which the nom
union miners were restored to the Bun
ker Hill and Sullivan mines. Colonel
Carlin went to Mullan. but the strikers
there heard of the approach of the troops
and many of them fed. Only few
arrests were made. among them Justice
of the Peace Frazer and Postmaster
Marsh, both sympathizers with the
cause of the union. 1t is thought that
Marsh was arrested more as witness
than culprit. Both are newspaper
men. The troops that went to Burke
met with more success. Captain Babb
stationed his men from the depot to the
mouth of the mines, and the miners
were marched straight to the train with
out being given time to change their
clothing or eat their dinner. This occa-
stoned considerable indignation among
the Inhabitants of the town. 1t is evil
dent that the strikers are conquered for
the present.

Chairman Oates Thinks the Governments
Has no Jurisdiction.
WASHINGTON, July 16.--The special
committee Of the house which has been
engaged in the investigation OF the iron
and steel workers strike at Homestead, !,
returned here yesterday. Chairman
Oates, in speaking of the investigation
said. the committee had not found mat
ters as bad as they feared and expected.
He was inclined to the opinion that
both parties to the difficulty
were at fault. II Mr.. Frlck
had been more patient and
taken pains to explain to the men the ex-
act situation as to prices and profits, the
trouble might have been avoided. So,
If the Amalgamated association had
been less contentious and shown a dis
position to do what was fair and Just,
the differences might have been ami
cably settled to the satisfaction OF all
concerned.
Mr.. Oates did not see, however, how
the government could take action in the
matter. 1t is not, in bis opinion, with
in its Jurisdiction.
The committee will report to the
house next week, and ask leave to in
vestigate the Pinkerton system during
recess.

Workmen Going Out.
PIFTsBURG, July 16.-A dispatch from
Beaver Falls says 2SO men in Carnepie's
steel works at that place met tonight
and resolved not to 60 to work on Mon
day, when the mill was to have resumed
operations. This makes 5000 men out
in Carnegie's works in this district.
Superintendent Dillon, Of the Beaver
Falls and Union mills, says the men will
have to come as non-union men or not
at all. The Carnegie people claim that
the Braddock and Duquesne workmen
will remain loyal to the company and
will not strike.
The leaders OF the strike went from
Homestead to Duquesne, tonight, where
a mass meeting OF the men employed in
the Carnegie works at that place, was
held, to consider the question of strik-
ing in support OF the Homestead men.
No decision was reached and another
meeting will be held tomorrow after
noon. The Homestead leaders are iu-
bilant and claim the Duquesne workers
will strike next week.

of smoke and ashes which are lowering
over the mount, have grown 80
dense as to cover everything in
the vicinity with mantle of
darkness, and the craters are now
invisible. The largest craters are still
ejecting immense masses of boiling
lava, the streams of which are steadily
growing wider and as steadily creeping
with terrible persistency, foot by foot,
upon certain of the villages lying on
the mountain slopes.
