BRUSSELS, June13. - Further letters re-
ceved here from the White Father mission
in Uganda, East Africa, report that charges
are made against the Protestant forces in
the kingdom of moving down the Catholics,
including many women and children, with
a deadly rain Of shot from the mitrailleuses
with which they are supplied. One letter
also says that after the Catholic armies lad
three times repelled the desperate attacks
made on their ranks the survivors were at
length driven toward Victoria NyanZa. So
hard pressed were the routed forces Of the
Catholics that they were actually forced
into the great lake and from 500 to 600 of the
poor people were drowned like a herd Of
animals. The letters state that Major
Keuhne saved the lives Of Bishop Hirth
and King Mwanga, who led the Cath
olics. by his timely arrival at the scene Of
carnage and his display Of the German flag.

Hard on the Janitor.

The city Of culture and scientific re-
search, Boston, is responsible for a valua-
BILE patent in 1896. A resident Of that city
invented a ''counterweight for an ele-
vator," which was to aid the machinery
and require less steam power, thereby saw
ing fuel. A series of 60-pound weights
were to be kept on the upper floors Of a
building, and when a person wished to de-
scend he was instructed to place one of
these weights in the elevator. When the
ground floor was reached the person was
requested to remove the weight from the
elevator and hang it up in place pro
vided. The inventor was silent on she
subject as to how the weights were to be
returned, but it may be inferred that the
janitor was supposed to carry them up
stairs and replace them after the elevator
stopped at night. The practical applica-
tiOn Of this device in building like the
Equitable would create much interest and
profanity.-New York News.
