Aeronaut Hobe,s Frirhtful Fall.

Sr PAUL, Aug. Hive thousand people at Inver grove, just south of this city, were the mortified spectators of a terrible fall to death of Professor Hobe, the aeronaut. When the balloon reached the usual alti tude Hobe could be seen tugging at the valve cord, which would not work. Before he could manipulate it the balloon was at least 5000 feet above the earth. In the regular way he cut loose the parachute and shot rapidly earthward, but to the horror of the crowd the parachute did not expand, and the unfortunate aeronaut fell like a shot toward the ground. So great was the force of the fall that he was driven in the soft ground to depth of ten feet and in. stantly killed It required the work of an hour to reach the body.

Two Castes in India.

The Rock Veddahs are stunted, hide ous and filthy; they live in secluded caves and holes; they eat bats and rats, and make their scanty clothing from the bark of trees, but the Singhalese regard them as of the very highest caste, and it would be no disgrace for a woman of good social position to marry Rock Veddah. On the other hand, the very greatest disgrace that could be inflicted on such woman would be to marry her to a Rodiya, although these last are race distinguished for beauty, at least in youth, and gentle and innocent by na- ture.
 The Rodiyas cannot enter temple or village; they are forbidden to till the soil or draw water from well; they cannot build house or divide burden into two bundles; their shadow must not fall on stream, lest it be polluted; {; no member of another caste may touch them without disgrace, yet any one may shoot them without blame. All this is supposed to be in consequence of the act of an ancestor two thousand years ago, who inveigled king into eating human flesh. As 8 consequence the beautiful race is at the foot of the social scale, the ugly and repulsive at the top.-T. w. Hgsinson in Harper's Basar.

There is a foolish proverb which says, "Whom the gods love die young" It is very old, and time has let it get mixed up with another proverb. The way it was written is, Whom the gods love they grind slowly" That is about peo. pie, but when it comes to papers they really do die young.

After I got back the other editor, who owned the paper, used to say: "See herel MT. Brown, Miss Jones, Mrs. Pe- ters and the baker all say they got no papers, and had to give them each a copy" Then I used to say:
 "Why did you do that? Browns pa- per is sticking up in his grape trellis. Miss Jones' paper fell under her front stoop. Mrs. Peters lighted on top of her side porch, and the bakers paper popped through hole in his cellar win dow. If those people spent as much time looking for their papers as they do coming down town to complain of me they would show more sense."'

 A Warning Issued.
 The old scenes that were familiar prior to the advent of the National guard are being re-enacted in Homestead. Knots of strikers are to be encountered every few yards on the principal streets discussing the best and safest means of routing the nonunion men now in the mill. The leaders continue to caution the more radical men against the employment of force. Were it not for the presence of the provisional brigade, how ever, the fence around the Carnegie steel plant would not long separate the union and nonunion men.
 Every one of the Homestead strikers who have returned to work in the mill has re- ceived terrible warnings of dire punishment if he does not quit work at once. The men, on going home, have found sandbags tied to their doors every morning for a week past, and requests and warnings have been hung on the front knobs They have received letters through the mails which contain hloodthirsty threats of punishment for de- serting the ranks of the strikers.

MIcHIeAN's REAPPoRTIoNMENT.
It Is Declared to Be UnconstitutionaI b.

It Is Declared to Be Unconstitutional by
 tho Supreme Court.
 LANSING, July 29.-The supreme court has declared unconstitutional the two legisla- tive bills reapportioning the representatives and the senators in the state legislature. The mandamus asked for is granted in each case and the secretary is ordered to issue notices of election in accordance with the acts of 1881, the acts of 1886 being held to be equally defective with that of 1891. The opinion follows the lines of the celebrated decision in the Wisconsin gerrymander. The court is unanimous in its opinion.
 The effect of the decision will, in any event, be to make it practically certain that the Republicans will elect the next United States senator. Although the governor may call an extra session of the legislature and a new reapportionment bill be passed, the Democrats have lost enough members of the senate by death and resignation to throw that body into the hands of the Re publicans, and us any bill unfavorable to the latter would not pass it is likely the Demo crats will take their medicine and go into the elections under the law of 1881, which is more fair than either of the laws of 1885 or 1891.

Ducks for the Navy.

The novel suggestion has been made that ducks should be trained and used
 for naval purposes in the same way that pigeons are used for conveying military messages. The proposal comes from
 Major Allatt, practical pigeon trainer, who says that if we are going to use birds to fly over water for naval pur- poses ducks would be better than pig cons, because when the duck gets tired he drops and sits on the water until he is rested and then goes on again. Ducks, moreover, can fly by night, while pigeons cannot. Major Allatt thinks that sea gulls might be trained also for message bearing purposes. s.---London Court Jour

Fertilizers for Lawns.

The very common practice of covering city lawns with barnyard manure is dis agreeable alike to the occupants of the home as we'll as passers by. c. M. Hooker thinks that it is very queer, after taking so much time and labor to make a good green lawn eight months of the year, the contents of the barnyard should be dumped upon it to remain there the rest of the twelvemonth. He afirms that if the owners who do this should practice instead dressing their lawns with unbleached ashes and nitrate of soda it would keep fertility and offend no one,

Not as Bad ns Reported.

A curious and rather startling mis- print appeared in all the papers of Mos COW the other day. In describing the reception of the czar at Kiel they state that in the evening, as the Russian imperial yacht left the harbor, the Germans let play their electrical stone throwers." It appears that the word "Steinwerfer throwers- was somehow substituted for the proper word, "Sheinwerfer," or refectors.-- Dor. London News.

Accused of Killing Mrs. Webb as He Did
 Pretty Annie Goodwin.
 NEW YORK, July 2s.-Dr Henry c, Me Donegal, the aged practitioner of medicine who was convicted of causing the death of Annie Goodwin, the pretty cigarette girl, is again in serious trouble, He was arrested in this city on charge of having criminally operated on and caused the death of Mrs, Louisa Webb, the wife of, Frank Webb, of Ravenswood, l.. l., and is now locked up in the Queens county jail. Suspected as ac- complices are Mir Webb and Mrs. Marion A. Dale, an accoucheuse of this city, who is said to have assisted Dr. McGonegal. The former are also in custody.
 McGonegal was sentenced to fourteen years penal servitude for the Annie Good. win case, and pending an appeal to the court of appeals was for time confined in the Tombs in default of s20OO0 bail, but finally secured reduction of his bail to 5000. This sum was furnished by David B. Cox, of SS5 East One Hundred and Nine teenth street, and McGonegal was released from custo iy.

 ORANGE, N. J., July 29.-The little town of Milburn and the surrounding country was shaken by a terrific explosion, which shook the houses and ground and caused terror to the inhabitants fjr several miles about. The explosion occurred at the Collu- Ibid Zapon works at Springfield, a milo and a half south of Short Hills, and the concus- sion was heard as far away as the city of Newark
 The works where the explosion took place are in ruins, and the houses near the factory are wrecked, while for n radius of two miles there is hardly a pane of glass unbroken. One man, a negro, employed in the mill, is missing
 Two frame houses near the works, occu- pied by George Hessler and Justice of the Peace George Mulford, were razed almost to the ground. Mrs. Hessler, who is i'll, was prostrated by the shock and her life is in danger. The Mulford family was bruised and cut to some extent, but no one was seriously injured.

THE STRIKE FAILING.
SIXTY OF THE HOMESTEAD MEN RE-
 TURN TO WORK

Superintendent Potter Says He Is Get
 ting More Men Than He wants-It Be-
 gins to Look as Though the Backbone
 of the Strike Was Broken.
 PITTsBURG, Aug. 2.-H. O. Prick is still improving. He is able to do considerable walking now.
 Homestead striking steel workers are con- siderably agitated. They have satisfied themselves of the correctness of Superin- tendent Potter's statement that a number of former employees have returned to work. This evidence of weakening on the part of men who have loudly proclaimed their loy- alty to the Amalgamated association wor- ries the members of that organization, and the strikers are discussing the situa ton with much animation. Provost Marshal Mechling, fearing the break in the ranks of the strikers would lead to trouble, doubled the guard around the mill and in the streets adjacent thereto.
 That the backbone of the strike has been broken is acknowledged by every one save the members of the advisory committee and the more radical unionists. Superin- tendent Potter said to United Press re- porter: "Altogether sixty of our former employees have returned to work, and we have been informed that many more will make application for their old places. Twenty-seven of our old men came in the last batch. Twenty-four of them found their places still open, but the others, am sorry to say, were disappointed, but while they cannot step into their positions they gave up month ago, these men will be given work.
 The old Hands Wanted Back.
 'I feel sorry for the majority of the strik- CTS, who were led into this trouble by those in whom they had such implicit confidence, but when we announced that none of our new men would be discharged to make room for those strikers who refused to re- turn to work within the time specified we meant exactly what we said. The strikers who have come in time will not be asked to eat aud sleep in the mill
 ''They will continue to occupy their Homestead residences and will be given ample protection. Many of the recent ar rivals from the east have applied for houses and will bring their families here soon. We got in over 100 cots today and nearly as many men arrived from distant points.
 "I sent word to the Pittsburg office today that we were getting in too many men by rail and water We have in the neighbor- hood of 1,5OO workmen, many of whom are skilled mechanics. We will after tomorrow relax our efforts to secure workmen in order to give our former employees who were led into this trouble innocently an opportunity to get back. Naturally we prefer them to green hands.
 "There is no longer any doubt about it. the Amalgamated association has lost the fight, and from this time on the Carnegie Steel company will operate its Homestead plant with nonunion men,"

Chief of Police Murphy Promises Some
 Startling Disclosures.
 PITTsBURG, July 2S.-When Henry c. Prick was shot last Saturday he said, while the doctors were engaged in probing the wounds, that the tragedy would have no effect whatever upon the policy of the company toward the Homestead troubles That he meant what he said was evinced by the fact that Secretary Lovejoy again appeared before Alderman McMas- ters and swore out thirty-six informatious against as many of the ex-employees of the company, and upon which warrants were immediately issued. It was significant, how ever, that these informations made change in the nature of the offense, the men being charged with aggravated riot instead of with murder.
 It is taken as indicating that the company now doubts it's ability to sustain the main charge against any of the men, and has concluded to content itself by preferring a charge upon which there may be a chance of obtaining some convictions. It was sig nificant also that among the names of those included in the informations were those of nearly every ex-employee who has testified before the coroner's jury that the first shots fired on the morning of July came from the Pinkertons.
 The fact that the company should have selected these men as victims, especially in

Previous to her de- parture she expressed desire to visit Elm wood cemetery and view the grave of her victim, Freda Ward. Her request was granted, and in company with her father and mother, under guard of the sheriff, she was driven to the cemetery. She displayed great emotion, and us she gazed upon the little mound of earth tears flowed in pro fusion.
 Before leaving she gathered a handful of flowers from the grave, which she seemed to treasure and which she pressed to her bosom and carried them with her to her secluded home at the asylum. Her father and mother were her companions to Bolivar, where she was conveyed under escort of a deputy sheriff

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2-Theodore Penny packer and Joseph Hughes were in boat fishing and using dynamite for the purpose of killing fish. A piece of the dynamite ex- ploded, killing Pennypacker and seriously injuring Hughes. Pennypacker's body was literally blown into atoms. There was noth- ing left of it except a portion of the breast bone, which was driven into the body of Hughes.
