Mr.. HaIrord Explains.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. 4.-Secretary Halford
was shown tonight the dispatch from At
tleb0ro. Mass. on the controversy between
Representative Morse and Helen Cougar,
in which it was charged by Mr.. Morse
that Mrs. Cougar had received $500 for
speaking for the Democrats i'll Indiana.
and giving Mr.. Halford as his authority.
Mr.. Halford said that cursory
reading of the dispatch would
make it appear that his name
had been used by Mr.. Morse as
authority for the statement that 81, 800 had
been paid the Proh hbitionists by the Demo-
Gratis. His connection with the matter re-
lated to the assertion that Mrs. Cougar
had supported the Democratic ticket
in Indiana. Mr.. Morse had asked
him Secretary Halford If srch were the
case and he had referred the inquiry 90 the
secretary of Ehe Republican central COM
mittee of Indiana. That gentleman had
responded that the statement was correct.
and his reply had been forwarded by
him Mr.. Halfordl to Mr.. Morse. The 81, 500
story. he said. he believed referred TO an
incident in Massachusetts and Connecticut
and of course, be knew nothing aboutit.

A Little Child's Influence.

Bernard j. Schmitz, a wealthy farmer
of Atchison county, Kan. went to Ger
many last November to visit his old
home, and was arrested for deserving the
German army thirty years before. The
matter was placed in the hands of the
United States minister i'll Germany, but
all efforts to secure Schmitz's release ap-
peared fruitless. Schmitz's eleven-year-
old daughter, however, wrote a letter to
the emperor of Germany from her home
in this country, setting forth i'll a child
like manner the facts in the case and ask
ing for her fathers release on his birth
day. which came on the 4th of last month.
The letter reached the emperor on the
27th, and he was SO touched that he is
sued a pardon for Schmitz, who is now on
his way home. Cor. New York World.

A Seamless Steel Boat.

A seamless steel boat, which has been
patented by an English engineer, has
been launched from the yard of the
company hat was formed to work the
patent at Wakefield, England.
The boat is fifteen feet long, 4 feet
beam, weighs 325 pounds and will carry
six persons. 1t was made from a single
piece af steel, compressed into form by
powerful hydraulic machinery.
The company has an extensive plant,
containing a press weighing 165 tons,
and giving a pressure equal to 800 pounds
to the square inch.
1t is intended to build the boats for
service on large steamships and vessels
going TO countries where the climate Is
not and dry, as the nature of the con-
struction of these boats renders them
more seaworthy than similar craft OF
wood. as they will neither. shrink nor
warp. They are fitted in the interior
with wood, and are therefore useful for
pleasure boats. Philadelphia Record.

Smokeless Powder and Gun Cotton.

SmOkelesS Powder and Gun Cotton.
One of the most interesting and singu-
lar features developed by the new navy
is the matter of explosives.
The most important advance made in
this general line in 1891 was the procur-
ing of a smokeless powder. This was
developed by Professor Monroe, of the
Naval Torpedo station, and has surpass-
ed the somewhat dubious expectations
of it. 1t has been successfully used in
the simpler and lighter guns and also in
the complicated 4-inch rapid fire guns.
With charges of only one-half the weight
of the old powder, it has fired %projectiles
nearly 200 feet a second faster than the
shots of the old powders travelled. One
beauty of it is the fact hat it is not in
jured by water.
Gun cotton is to be extensively useI
on the new vessels. The high importance
Of this material and the certainty that
the limited facilities for its production
would be a source of embarrassment in
case of war, led the naval department
last year to offer an order for so, 900
pounds of gun cotton to the Duponts, of
Wilmington, Del, manufacturers of
naval explosives, on the condition of the
establishment of a complete plant for the
manufacture of gun cotton in large
quantities. ID. D. Bidwell in New York

A Persistent Dog Beggar.

One of the most persistent beggars in
Portland, Me-, is a collie dog which is
very fond of doughnuts. The collie, in
company with his mistress, visited a
bakery one day last fall, and perceiving
some doughnuts in a showcase he sat
down and pleaded, by means of short,
sharp banks, for a treat. The clerk gen,
erously fed the smart dog, but he wishes
that he hadn't, for every day since the
collie has appeared to beg for more
doughnuts. If the shop door is closed
he will wait outside until some one
opens it, and then dodge in to get his
regular free lunch.-Portland Letter.

An Opal Ring and Some Royal Deaths.

An Opal Ring and Some Royal Deaths.
Foreign papers tell a story of an opal
ring belonging to the late King AL
phonso XII of Spain, which will be
treasured by those who believe in the
superstition regarding the evil effects of
that stone. On his wedding day the
king presented a beautiful ring to his
Queen Mercedes. daughter of the Duke
of Montpensier. The queen wore the
ornament till her death, which occurred
soon afterward. Before the burial his
majesty took the ring from his wife's
finger and placed it upon that of his sis
ter. the Infanta Maria del Pillar. The
young princess only lived a few days
after receiving the ring.
A third time the king took possession
of the ring, and presented it to his sis
ter-in-law, Princess Christina, the
youngest daughter of the Duke of Mont
pensier. Three months later the prin-
cess died. The king, surprised at the
history of the ring, decided to wear it
himself. But he did not wear it long,
as death soon claimed him also. The
queen regent, after the burial OF her
husband, attached the ring to a golden
chain and placed it upon the neck of the
Virgin of Almudena, the matron saint of
Madrid. Superstitious Spaniards fool
ishly attribute the various deaths to the
ring, as a matter of course.

Dancing Killed Him at seventy-nine.

James McCarty, of Gaskill township,
one of the most unique characters of
jefferson county, and perhaps of the
state, died Friday, aged seventy-nine
years. His death was caused by over
heating himself dancing in the open air,
for old as he wa McCarty could still
keep step to a tune in a very lively fash

dance to the music for half an hour at a
time, greatly to the amusement of the
onlookers. For years his occupation has
been hunting. Up to the time of his last
illness he was remarkably active

1t Is only a few years ago that ship
ping men heard with wonder the story
of the first long tow Of a thousand miles.
How eagerly it was discussed. What
tame reading it makes now! For a little
tug to drag a heavy load that distance
now is as easy as the journey of an 81"
train from the Battery to Harlem.
Within the last few months oceangoing
tugs have towed big craft that had come
to grief in the Spanish main all the way
to this port for repairs. The hauling
operation became necessary because of
the absence of a suitable marine "doc-
tor" or repairing facilities at the place
where the vessels were damaged. Re-
pairs are expensive in the tropics, and
in a number Of cases a good round sum
was saved even after a long tow to this
port.
The champion long distance tow per-
haps Is now in progress. Two months
ago all immense steam tug left the Mer-
sey, bound to Rio Janeiro, to bring back
to England a large iron bark that had
been seriously damaged in a storm near
the equator. This tug has started back
with her charge, and it is a foregone con-
clusion that she will reach the Clyde
without any mishap.
Owners decline to give any informa-
ton concerning the cost of a long dis
lance tow, but one like that from Rio to
England must be enormous. Here is a
trip Of at least five months, we a dis
lance of 1000 miles. At the very least
1000 tons of bunker coal must be used.
There you have $1,000 at one slap. Pro-
visions will cost $1,000 more. That
makes $4,000. Put the wages of the
crew at So, 600 more. That makes 3d.
900. Then figure incidentals at 81 900,
and the landsman may understand what
al expense is attached to a job of that
kind. A total of $14 900 spent before a
single penny is paid for repairs. These
figures are from the tugboat owners
standpoint and do not directly show the
cost of the tow to the charterer. The
owner Of the steam tug has to live like
other people, and his profit for the trip
will be all the way from 5000 to 81, 900.
That swell3 the amount to ST, 900 or
more.-New York Mail and Express.

A Deluge of Dollars.

Z. q. Kicker. chief clerk of the St.
Louis subtreasury, L.. T.. Farrar, the re-
ceiving teller. and E. NJ. Miller, the
Waterman of the vault, were standing
in a group just inside the ponderous
doors n beside several immense rows
of silver dollars which were piled to the
ceiling Of the vaults in canvas bags, each
containing 81 900 and weighing about
sixty pounds.
Suddenly MIR. Kicker noticed a slight
bullying movement of the center of the
outside row of heavy sacks, and realiz-
ing In a second what was about to &C.
cur, he sprang to the opposite side of the
vault. at the same time showing his COM
panions away from the falling mass of
silver. Mr.. Farrar fell in one corner
out of harms way, while Mr.. Miller was
fortunate enough to lodge in the passage
room between the smaller vaults, which
is at the farther end of the silver room.
Mr.. Ricker's action was none too early,
for in the twinkling of an eye nearly
$4,000 pounds of silver were piled four
feet deep on the spot where they had
been standing.
As it was, several of the bags struck
him on the legs n bruised his feet.
The truck used to wheel the heavy sacks
about, which was standing in the mid
die OF the vault, was smashed. Nearly
81, OOO 900 were scattered promiscously
around the steel room, and it was by the
merest chance that none of the men
was killed, In consequence of the &C
cident a large amount of the silver coin
will be moved to the upper vaults

The Anatomy Of the oyster.

A clam is considered rs the emblem
OF stupidity and callousness. But you
will make as great 4 mistake if you
put the oyster in the same category as
when you class a Chinaman aud a
japanese together. The oyster is so
strong of muscle, rs we all know, that
no human fingers are able alone 10
open the doors of his domicile if he
chooses to keep them closed; liver and
stomach end digestive organs he has,
all as sensitive rs ours; respiratory
organs as complicated rs the human
lungs; machinery for obtaining his
water supply aud for preventing an
overflow. and wondrously conlrived
mechanism for the trapping of his
food. Finally. he has beart whose
pulsations may be seen after his house
has been torn from him. With this
very limited understanding Of the an.
atomy Of the oyster 1t is not difficult
TO comprehend how cultivation aud
care may not only improve its outward
appearance ard augment its lines Of
beauty. but how they also cause the
quaNty of its meat 10 surpass that OF
the 'natnraln or uncultivaied oyster
as much rs grain-fed poultry surpasses
the product of the barnyard. When
your host places before you oysters
that are plump and round and thick
cnd deep aud light-colored. aud man
lied narrowly by fringe quite thick
to the very edge, then you may be
sure that they have not only lived with
few disturbances but under high
state Of cultivation.-Scr Scri6aer.
