Prospects for a Peaceful Settlement Nov
 Appear Very Bright.

Appear Very Bright.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The prospects oi a peaceful settlement of the Chilian troubles now appear very bright. This country has never changed it's position in the matter, but insists now. as it has from the first, upon suitable reparation being made for the outrages of the mob at Valparaiso, and would resort to any means necessary to maintain the national dignity
 The peaceful outlook is due to a change of policy in Chili since the inauguration of the new government. Senor Montt has been trying, ever since he became acquainted with the state of things in this country, to bring the Chilian Gov ernment to an appreciation of the folly of trying any bravado in dealing with this question. His efforts with the Junta were entirely unsuccessful
 Information attainable now indicates that the present Government is in accord with Senor Montt and is willing to do anything possible to restore the friendly relations between the two countries. Senor Montt, in discussing the question, said that there was no danger of war be- tween Chilli and the United States
 ''Chil, he explained, ''is ready to do the honorable and proper thing, and just as soon as the report on the judicial action Is completed it will be forwarded to this country, and 1t will, am sure, be satisfactory to this country.
 He expressed the opinion that Chilli would not indulge in any more wars There would certainly be no wars, he said as long as the present Administration or those in sympathy with 1t retained power Though the last war was very successful the strife necessarily was an injury to the country, and every effort would be made to preserve peace.
 Congressman John Raines in an inter- view on the Gillian situation, said:
 "The English people are advised that at the present time every effort is being put forward by the Navy Department to place fleet at the disposal of the Gov ernment in case of need. What is more they know perhaps what is not generally known here in this country-that parts of the work on new vessels awarded un- der contract to several firms are being hurried along outside the firms that re- ceived the contract.
 England, as the ruler of the seas, does not like this state of affairs Our new vessels fairly OutclRsS her ships of nomtnally the same grade and her SUI Premacy Is threatened. With the people behind this movement for 8 navy, often s1Ve and defensive foreign powers know that the United States will have a fleet that will command not only respect, but fear.
 "To prevent a continuance of the build ing of new battle ships and cruisers Eng land will step in and fairly choke Chili Into necessary apology"

 sion In the Nelson shaft.
 SHAMoKIN, Pa, Jan. 9.-FulIer par. ticulars of the explosion of gas in No. vein of the Nelson shaft have been re- ceived. Paul Grunzki is dead and Philip Desert is likely to die. Superintendent Steele is severely burned about the hands and face, and Boss English is badly injured about the ho.ly.
 Grun2ki was a g"ccn hand, and carried a lamp which did not have the proper protection. He was standing near the men who were injured when current of gas from one of the fiZHures came in con- tact with the flame of the lamp, and a terrible explosion followed. The unfor tunate miner was hurled against the side of the mine and had nearly all his bones broken. English ana Steele saw the danger few moments before the explo- sion, but they could not get out of the way quick enough, and they were tossed against the side uf the shaft with con siderable violence

 The remarkable career of old Tom Starr, the notorious Cherokee despera- do, which has lately appeared in print. recalls an incident iH his life, the plain est statement of which sounds like a romance.
 Bill West was old Toms brother in law and the most powerful man of hIs day in the Cherokee nation. A blow from his fist was as deadly as a Win chester bullet With this formidable weapon he killed several men, and a law was passed declaring Bills fist & deadly weapon.
 Old Tom and Bill had been close con- panions, but one day they quarreled over the division of the spells of a plum dering expedition. West struck at Starr, but the willy savage dodged the blow and at the same time deftly placed long, keen knife blade between the formers ribs. This was the tragic end of Bill West
 At this time there was a reward of two thousand dollars offered for for that of Starr.
 Old Tom was in need of ready cash and determined to run the risk of losing his own head by trying to secure the re- ward on that of his brother-in-law.
 So, after killing West. he cut off his head, put it in a gunny-bag and pro- ceeded to Talequah, the capital, where he presented his gory charge to the chief with the proof that it was the right head and demanded the reward.
 The chief and treasurer were both old men and they knew old Toms reputa- tion- They also knew that the reward on Vests head was only two thousand dollars, while that for old Toms was five thousand dollars But Starr wns there himself and meant business
 At the muzzle of 8 six-shooter the treasurer forked over the two thousand dollars and old Tom departed with the money, to the delight and astonishment of the people of Talequah without kill ing single pccson.-St. Louis Globe Democrat
 -froI. Blckmore has good word TOT the common house-tiy, which, although nuisance when it has become old enough to go about and alight on hu- man flesh, does valuable service to hu- manity as a scavenger. There are, he said, in North America alone over 1O,- 900 different varieties of flies. The young ones in their larval state con- sume large quantities of decaying veg etable and animal matter, and it has been computed that were it not for this work foul odors and poisonous particles would so predominate in the air as to breed disease of a typhoid or malarial nature. The service thus done to man. kind by the larvse of the flies coud not we'll be calculated

Vermont has reason to feel proud
of the various manufacturing indus
tries in it's midst, but of none more
than the Estey Organ Works at
Brattleboro. For over half a centu-
ry this establishment has been MAX
ing organs and shipping them to all
parts of the world. The business has
been success from the start and each
year has seen the number in
crease until the Gwo hundred and
fiftieth thousand has been reached
To-day at Brattleboro this event
will be publicly celebrated. The
Governor and other state dignita-
ries will be present to aid in the cele-
bration. 1t will be memorable oc-
casion, not only for the great con-
Germ which makes the organs, but for
the State of Vermont, which has been
greatly benefited because these
works are located within her Dor
ders. May the Estey organ continue
to peal forth it's melodious strains
until at least the 100000 mark is
reached.

Old Edge Tools.

The pride Of the people of the pres
ent age, based upon the belief that
we have outstripped the old world in
the arts and sciences, receives anoth-
er shock. A man two years in tomb
at Gizeh, Egypt, is said to have Sc
cured evidence which proves that
1000 years ago tools used in cutting
stone had ieweled edges, similar to
those used at the present day. Solid
and tubular tools and saws, which
were supposed to be modern, were
used in those days, both in some
pieces of granite that a drill had sunk
one-tenth of an inch "a every revolu-
ton, and that the pressure to &C
complish this must have been at least
two tons. 1t is suggested that as
diamonds we're exceedingly rare in
those days, perhaps corundum was
used as points for the tools.-Boston

A Son OF VERMONT.-Among the
noted sons of Vermont, now living in
the West, is DR.. D. K. Pearson. of
Chicago. The doctor was born in
Bradford, VT, about seventy years
ago. By hard work he saved enough
money to take him through Dart
mouth college and pay for a school
ing in medicine. He. practiced his
profession in Chicopee, Mass, until
1857, when he went to Illinois, final
ly settling in Chicago. There he
amassed a fortune in the real estate
business. He has q wife but no chill
dren, and lives at Hinsdale, a suburb
of the great city. He devotes his
time now chiefly to the management
of his estate and in search of worthy
objects on which to bestow his boun-
ty. He has given away more than
81 100000. Beloit, Lake Forrest
college, Knox college, the Chicago
Theological seminary and the Young
Mems Christian Association have all
received large donations of money
from him. He has written a quaint
little pamphlet entitled "a Prescrip-
ton for Rich Patients" DR.. Pearsons
does not believe Unauthorized money
is blessing.

The Burlington Clipper has the fol-
lowing to say regarding Lamoille
county's honored son, Congressman
Powers
Congress having at last adjourned,
ex-Judge Powers is enjoying a vaca-
ton at his pleasant home in Norris
vile. In selecting Mr. Powers as rep
resentative from the First Congress
sional district the Republicans
made the choice of their ablest man
and the record he has already made
is seldom attained during a first
term. 1t is not often that a new
member receives recognition, but ex-
Judge Powers sound judgement
could not be ignored, standing. as he
does with hardly a peer in the lower
house. Although staunch Repub-
lican, he has been at all times Just
and honest upon partisan questions.
Congressman Powers has in every
public position which he has been
called to fill, served the people and
his party in highly satisfactory
manner.
