Polly saved the XnInnhIr..

We had moved into newly built
house, which had all the modern inn
provements. the electric bell being one
OF them.
II was a cold winters night Mr.. and
Mrs. j. were travelling in Europe and
the servants were all gathered about the
kitchen fire. Polly was also near the
fire, but in the dining room, which was
up stairs.
She used TO see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, and, like
a elever bird. studied on this for long
while.
On this night Polly was all alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered. The room being
dark they could not see the bird and
began searching for valuables, for they
were burglars
Polly now proved her worth. She put
out her claw and pressed the button Of
the electric bell
1t brought the servants to the dining
room, where, after short struggle, they
secured the burglars, who were about to
make way with much Of the valuable
silver in the dining room.
Polly was fed on dainties for some
time as a reward for her valuable as
sistance.-Cor. New York Recorder.

Production Of Portland Cement.

Mr.. Giron read before the Engineers
club at Philadelphia paper ON the trade
of the world in Portland cement, in the
course of which he said that the present
annual production in Europe amounts to
over 20.O00,000 barrels and it's CONNER
cial value to over E7 200 900 The first
factory was established at Northfieet. on
the Thames. The process was 80 crude
that in 1850 only four factories were in
operation. In England there is now
over 8 1900, 900 barrels made each year.
The process is much the same as it was
twenty years ago. The raw materials
are chalk and clay, both pure, and al
though inferior processes are employed
they make satisfactory cement.
A few years ago the entire product Of
the kilns was put on the market, bnt the
fineness of the Continental cements led
English makers to improve their pro-
cesses, although even now English ce-
ment is not as rule as firm as Geneva
or French Portland.-New York Even

Advisability of Reporting.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The subcommit-
tee of the House judiciary committee are
hopelessly divided on the subject of the
Pinkerton investigation and have decided
TO leave the matter to the full committee to
say whether there shall be report or not
and, il one, the nature of it. Mr.. Oates g,
chairman Of the committee Of five, was
appointed to draw up report on the in
vestigation and accordingly drew up a
most elaborate document, covering fully
the scope OF the investigation. To-
day he submitted 1t to the committee
aud after talking it over for three
hours they reached the conclusion by a vote
2 to 3 that they could net agree to it, one
republican voting with Mr.. OetsS and the
other two democrats and one republican de-
Gliding that no report should be made
While all the members of the committee
admitted that the reporS was thorough aud
impartial, still a majority thought that there
was some points In 1t which did not quite
meet their views. AS Mr.. Oates expressed
it, they Thought ''it might kick both ways"
Accordingly the whole matter is referred
back to the full committee.

The Celebration of his Departure
From Palos

HUELvA, Aug. 2.-The Spanish vessels
which had gathered TO take part In the
celebration OF the 400th anniversary Of the
sailing Of Columbus on his voyage OF dis
oovery, weighed anchor at O'clock this
morning and proceeded for Palos, the port
from which Columbus departed on Aug. 3
1892. The war ships Of foreign nations which
have been sent to represent their govern
meuts in the celebration followed the
Spanish vessels. Upon the arrival OF the
fleets at Palos the Spanish minister of ma
rine, who represented the Spanish govern
ment, and all of the Spanish and foreign dele
gates aud she officers Of the ships forming
the squadron attended mass In the church
in which Columbus received communion
before sailing thence on bis voyage In three
small vessels, the Santa Maria, Pints and
Nina. A vessel which was constructed
exactly on the lines of the caraval Santa
Maria, the largest of the three vessels on
which the Columbus expedition sailed. will
complete her preparations at PaloS and at
daybreak tomorrow she will, should the
wind be favorable, pass through lines formed
by the various squadrons outside of the bar.
The caravsI will sail for Havana In january
aud it is expected will arrive in New York
In March. She will make the voyage with
out any escort.
NO SERVICES HELD.
HUELvA, Aug. 2.-The statement of this
morning that upon the arrival OF the Spanish
squadron and the vessels Of other nationali-
ties at Palos, the Spanish minister of marine
and all the Spanish and foreign delegates
and naval officers, heard mass at Pales is
incorrect. The party mentioned and Mr..
Snowden, this new American minister
to Spain, repaired TO Palos
to attend the religious services to
be held there, but after waiting in church
for an hour and no priest appearing to cons
duct the services the assemblags dispersed,
The failure TO hold the religious services
proposed seems TO have been the result of
misunderstanding. The mayor OF the town
declared that he invited the vicar Of Palos
TO offlciste. but the latter asserts that he
knew nothing of the matter.
