THOSE BIG BOATS.
The Great Northern.Readine Com
bination Will Push Their
Completion.
Everything Adoat on Fresh Water
to Be Eclipsed by the New
Fleet.

BUFFALO, Aug. 20.-Another move in
the plans of the Great Northern-Reading
combination for a grand transconti-
mental system, both freight and passen-
ger. was made here today when the
preliminary contracts for the
new passenger steamers were ap-
proved by Manager Parkhurst. Of
the Globe Iron works at Cieve-
land, and John Gordon. general
manager of the Northwestern Steamship
company. The new boats will be $50
feet over all, $50 feet keel. A feet beam
and 26 feet depth. The boats will have
twin screws and 13 12-foot boilers. They
will have accommodation for $50 cabin
and 2G0 steerage passengers. Their
freight capacity will be few
hundred tons. The largest of the
machinery will be 1000 tons and the
total displacement 1000 tons. They will
cost over $500, 600 each, and the contract
calls for their completion by July next.
With their great power, more than
double that of any boat afiOat on fresh
water, the steamers are guaranteed to
make twenty miles am hour at
least. They will run between
Buffalo and Duluth without stopping,
making close rail connections at 10th
terminals. 1t Is the undoubted inten-
ton of the Great Northern Reading
combination to make these passenger
steamers the most important link in their
tranScontinental business. The time
from Philadelphia to the Pacific coast.
will be about the same. lake and rail,
aS,bv all rail, as soon as the steamers
are in shape.

THE FISTIC TOURNEY.

There are great times in store for New
Orleans next month. The most notable
fstic tournament of any age will trans
pire in the Crescent City. The bright
particular stars of the three divisions of
the pugilistic constellation heavy
weight, middleweight and lightweight
will meet in the clash Of combat.
Three victorS will be crowned kings Of
their respe ctive Gf not respectfully
classes, and three vanquished pre-
tenders Will be hailed derisively as
"chumps" and skates aud fans"
The interest chiefly centers, of course,
in the heavyweight contest between
SULLIVAN and CoRBETT. The former
has evinced that he is the most marvel
ouSly perfect animal Of the age. His
ponderous fists and mountainous mus
Giles, combined with the catlike agility
of his movements. have laid low his adj
verSaries, one after another, in monot-
Onous succession, But circumstances
are stronger than the strength of any
man, and circumstances may combine
to defeat SULLIVAN. Apparently his
recent training has overcome tile dele
ferrous effects of dissipation, and re-
stored his tissues to their former per-
feet strength and toughness: but un-
derneath this seemingly complete res
toration there may Turk weak spot
which the skill and courage of CoRBETr
will discover. In any event, it is con-
coded that it will be battle royal be-
tween the two ne plus utras of brute
development, and SO regarded it has an
interest for the scientist and anatomist,
as well as for the sporting gentry.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20.-The Iron

we're onened by an order to Snnreme
TREASURER Davis 10 open his books to
the investigation committee. The su-
Dreme accountant was placed on the
stand and gave the geographical distri-
button of the order, showing it to have
IS, 1870 members.
a. *. Hosmer, supreme vice justice,
testified reluctantly about the gift of
100000 of the funds of the order to the
Mutual bank. He made it appear that
Supreme Cashier Davis was the one to
suggest and carry out the plan. Hosmer
also admitted having paid 1925 TO one
Joyce, member of the Maryland legiS-
lature, for assistance in preventing Ger
tain legislation.
In tile afternoon the records of the
supreme sitting just adjourned were
produced. They showed a resolution
adopted approving the gift of 100000
by the Mutual bank and another order
Ing a voluntary assessment upon the
order to make up this auount. The rec

produced and remarkable resolution,

action had been taken. This was the
sitting at which Somerby's salary was
raised and the constitution was SO
changed as to make the supreme sitting
practically a self-perpetuating body.
Supreme Accountant Walker was
again questioned late in the afternoon.
He said that members almost never
iapsed after four years. The fact was
elected from him that figuring upon the
members who had been in fouryearS, the

S2,0O0,000; that for 1898 they were over

$1,000, 900.

1t is just as true now as it ever was

The Fall River tragedy is likely to

The arrest of Miss Lizzie Borden does
not appear to have been based upon
good grounds. The state undertakes a
big job when it attempts to prove that
no one else could have committed the

The Fall River mystery is not solved

Her innocence is to be assumed until

STATE PRESS TIPS.

The Duluth Herald repeats its assertion
that There is a well-planned conspiracy on
the part of several Republican bosses in this
state TO defeat Senator Davis and prevent
his return to the position which he now ably
fills. The conspiracy has been cleverly car
ried out so far, and from present appear
ances it Is likely to succeed
Says the Sherburne Advance: "An ex-
change says the politicians Of the various
parties have done some fine figuring on the
Swedish vote and on the Norwegian vote
But they seem to have forgotten all about the
American vote. Perhaps they did not con-
slider that of sufficient importance to figure
on"
The Duluth News thinks that Hon. Hugh
McCurdy, of Michigan, recently elected grand
commander of the Knights Tempiar i'll the
United States should bring suit against
about three -ffths of the Democratic papers
of the country. They have dug up old cuts
OF Hon. Michael Doran, of st. Paul, and
printed them as presumably representing the
grand commander. Imagine Mike Doran i'll

The Preston Times laments the fact that
THE papers in Owatonra and Waseca are
making tie air blue over judicial matters
just like our contemp oraIies in this and
houston county. Make peace, brethren,
make peace: this is hardly the time for inter
nal strife: save your powder and shot for the
common enemy. With the proposed Demo
Peoples combine confronting us we are like

Says the Dodge County Record: 1.-The
Red Wing Journal claims to be Republican
paper, but last week it published what pro-
fessed to be likeness of the Republican
candidates for the county Offices in Goodhue

of themselves to defeat any ticket or any set

and Kills a Loving, Watch
full Girl.

RICHMOND, Va. Aug, 20.-This morn
ing, shortly after midnight, Mrs. Lizzie
B. Hacks accidentally shot and killed
her siXteen-year-old daughter. She
lived here with her daughter and was
a widow, dependent entirely upon her
own resources. A few nights ago her
house was robbed, and this morning,
hearing noise in the yard. she arose,
armed herself with 3S-calibre revolver
and crept to the back window to listen.
While standing there she heard a light
step behind her. Very much excited,
she quickly turned and saw figure
standing close behind her.
Without sign or word she raised the
weapon and fired. an awful scream fol-
lowed, and Mrs. Hacks heard her child
say: "Oh, mamma, you have killed
me-" The girl staggered cack and her
mother ran forward just as she was fall
ing and caught her in her arms. She
died instantly. When the distressed
parent found that she had killed her
child she attempted to take her own
life, but was prevented. 1t is supposed

fond of her mother. followed the latter
when she left the room. Not word was
spoken, and the mother was not aware
of her daughters presence.

men who fell represented the Blue and
the Gray. Bush Owens was a brave
Union soldier and the father of young
Waltham died covered with the gray.
High honor to those who went out to
the battle, higher honor to those who
came back wounded, and the highest
honorS to those who sleep iii death.
At $50 the body of Waltham was
taken to the railroad station to be
shipped to his relatives in Virginia.
The hearse was preceded by local uni
formed Knights of Pythias, of whom he
was member. The followers were the
volunteers that survived the battle, ac-
companied by band playing funeral

WHOM THE GODS HELP.

Old .EsoP tells. of the WAGNER whose
cart was stalled in the mud and who sat
by the wayside and bawled Justify to
JUPITER to come and help him out.
And the god from Olympus looked down
on that ancient Grecian infant industry
and told the carter to put his own Shout
der to the wheel and help himself. for
it was only such whom the gods helped.
The GLOBE tells the voters OF Mime
sofa that it is as true today, and for
them, as it was for the Greek WAGNER.
that only those get help who first help
themselves, and that it is as true now
as then that it is the very fact that men
in straits do make the effort to help
themselves that enables them to accom-
plish anything.
The gods are Impartial. They help
the man who helps himself. regardless
of his motives or his objects. We see it
in the nation and the state. The sub
sides of the tariff come to help the men
who have gone down to Washington and
worked to get them. The Swindling
elevator system of this state has grown
up, been built up by men who did not
wait, but went ahead and helped them
selves to what they wanted.
If the people of this state care to
rid themselves of the curse of subsidy
taxation and of robbery by the elevators,
they have got to stop sitting round cor
ner groceries and bawling for some one
to come and wipe the earth with these
trusts and combines. They have got to
take off their coats and help themselves.
The GLOBE offers way to do it. On
the first page OF the paper today is its
appeal to the Democrats of the state to
begin their emancipation by doing some
thing. Read it yourself Read it to
your fellow Democrats. Show the ear
nestness of your Democracy by sending
in your quarters and halves to the
GLOBE campaign fund. Send your small
contributions in postage stamps: they
Will pay the carriage of reading matter.
Show the Jupiters that you can help
yourself. and be sure they will come
down and help you. Be sure you will
stick in the mud till doomSday if you

PAGO-PAGO.

The great American public positively
refused to get excited over the Pago-
PagO incident In fact, nine-tenthS of
the great American public doesn't yet
know what the Pago-PagO incident was
and is all about. With political cam
paign raging through the land and with
the harvest season just at hand, PagO-
PagO couldn't expect to get the atten-
ton it deserves. Most people don't
know where in Halifax Pago-Pago is,
and they aren't concerned in finding
out. And when they have the informa-
ton thrust upon them that Paeo-Pago is
Samoan seaport, they are more than
ever unconceIned and apathetic. What
Samoan seaport has to do with crops
or politics they don't see. and so they
refuse to get worked up over 1t. But
the Pago-Pago incident, in common
with almost everything else, is likely TO
get mixed up in politics before the cam
palgn is over; and, therefore, perhaps,
the easiest way is to grapple with the
subject at once and master ii.
After all, and despite its opera bouffe
nomenclature, the Pago-Pago question
is an extremely dull. plain and SIM
pie one. Under a covenant between
Germany, Great Britain and this conn
try, each of these three nations was to
possess one of the Samoan harbors as
coaling station. At the Berlin confer
ence Germany announced the harbor of
Saluafata as its choice: the United
States chose Pago-PagO, and Great Brit
ain announced that it was not yet ready
to make a selection. And now John Bull
SWoopS down on our own Pago-Pago,
pre-emptS as much of the harbor as he
needs, and says he has as much right
there as Uncle Sam. There is nothing,
lie says, in the international agreement
to prevent him from appropriating to
his own use whatever portion of the
Pago-Pago harhor Uncle Sam hasn't
fenced in, and it is shrewdly suspected
that he had this step in view all along.
And whether the national agreement
allows it or not, there he is at Pago-
Pago, and what are we going to do
about it? 1t really isn't worth fighting
about, and yet, somehow, it does ''go
agin the grain" We have been out
witted, and even the loyal bread-and-
butter brigade will furtively reflect
whether it would have happened thus
had Mr. BLAINE remained in the state
department.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 2O.-A report has
just reached Pittsburg that the day ex.
press from New York on the Erie road
has been wrecked near Linden, eighty
miles east of Attica and one
hundred miles east of Buffalo.
The train consisted of u.
States mail car. four passenger coaches
and parlor car. The train was going

ton at 1920 O'Clock. The engine left
the track and rushed down the embank-
ment. 1t was followed by the
mail car, according to the
report As far as is known 10
one was hurt. The investigation
set on foot disclosed the fact that fish
plate had been moved and fell out the
moment the truck touched it. 1t is
about certain that the dastardly attempt
to wreck the train was made by some of
the striking SWItchmen. The story so
far, as told, is confirmed by the railroad
officials. and notice has just been post
ed as follows:
