the Exposition Summarized and
IN Detail.

A brief summary of the events of the
week is as follows;
Solicitor-General Butterworth has re-
piled to series of questions concern
ing patents which were submitted by
intending German exhibitors. They
wished 10 know whether their patents
would be protected. The Solicitor
General informed them that the Ger
man inventor of patent or the pos
SCISSOR OF one would be amply guarded
in his rights and be afforded equal pro-
lection with Americans. At the same
time the inquirers were told that ac-
eommodations would be provided upon
the grounds for employees which they
might bring to this country. II is not

EARTHQUAKES in JAPAN.
They Occur with Great Freqaenoy--A7
Many as One a Week.


Many One Week.
During the nine years and six
months preceding December 1884.
there had occurred in Japan, accor-
ding to the official statement publish
ed by the government $50 earth
quakes, averaging one earthquake for
every six days and six hours. Profes.
sor Milne was able to make the aver
age even greater than this, according
TO a writer IN the illustrated Ameri-
can. He could trace an average Of an
earthquake per day in Nagasaki, in
the extreme south of the Japanese
Archipelago. Probably the official sta
tistics were compiled from the returns
Of officials from all over the country.
in which case only those shocks which
caused loss Of life or damage TO prop
erty would be included. IL this hy-
pothesis be correct we should have an
average Of more than one earthquake
per week, which was so violent that IL
caused injuries to life or property suf-
fcientiy serious to attract the atten-
tion of the local authorities and, In
their judgment, to require report 70
the central government
Earthquakes being so common peo-
pie scarcely notice them unless they
be extraordinarily severe ones. For
instance, Miss Bird in her "Unbeaten
Tracks" thus summary dismisses two:
While we were crossing the court
there were two shocks OF earthquake;
all the golden wind bells which fringe
the roofs rang softly. and number Of
priests ran into the temple and beat
various kinds Of drums for the space
OF half an hour
As every one knows. Japan is the
very hearth Of earthquakes In 1854
more than sixty thousand people lost
their lives in consequence OF one Of
these great terrestrial catastrophies,
and it has been calculated that from ten
to twelve earthquakes each lasting Sow
eral seconds. occur every year, besides
numerous others Of too light nature
TO be worthy OF remark.

4 TOWER OF STRENGTH.

Build thy soul, tower,
Post a guard AROUND,
Honor, Love, Truth, Power,
Let them keep the ground;
Bar the gates and portals fast,
Let nc thought unchallenged past.
Question each with care
What the watchword be;
See that all shall bear
Faith and Purity"
II Regret the watch tower keep,
Take good care he must not sleep,
Though lodged safe within
Walls upreared by prayer,
Let no hosts of Sin
Rest securely where
Thou canst reach and battle wage;
Each invading foe engage.
If no traitor stay
Housed within thy gates;
Thou shalt win the day
Yict'ry on thee waits;
Sin can never battle do
With the soul whose guards are true.
Aye. a builder be
Til thy tower shall stand
Like a verdant tree
In q desert land,
Sneltering from storm and neat,
Refuge FOR the pilgrim feet.
&C. Lowater.

AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH.

some Terrible Pictures OF the Last
Struggle in Doomed Pompsil.
Some years ago, in small street
the workmen employed in the eXca-
vations at Pompeii discovered an empty
space of an unusual form in which
were SOME skeletons says the New
York News. Before disturbing them
they called Signor FlorellL who was
fortunately ut hand. A slngularly
happy thought struck him. He had
the empty space filed with liquid plas-
ter Of Paris and repeated the process
in the case of some other openings
which presented a similar appearance

and displayed the perfect casts OF four
human bodies.

VAS SHE "wHrrE.cAPpEDs"
Theories to How Mrs. Anna Hcaphy
Keceived her Injuries.

The sensational stories published Mon
day to the effect that Mrs. Anna
Heaphy Of No. TIA West Third street,
had desperate encounter with ruffian
early Sunday morning, who after
brutally beating her attempted feloni-
GUS assault and then set fire to the
house is looked upon as complete hoax.
The first to discover the fire was Charles
Pyle a member Of the Fame Hose
engine company. He rushed into the
house and with the aid of Mrs. Heaphy's
12-years-old son, succeeded in carrying a
burning lounge into the street. The
attention Of G. 3. Maloney who lives
next door was also attracted by the fire
and aided Mr.. Pyle in subduing the
flames by pouring buckets of water over
them.
A hasty examination of the premises
found Mrs. Heaphy lying on the floor
without stitch of clothing on. She
was unconscious. DIR. John G. Fabey
was summoned and attended the woman.
She remained unconscious until Sun
day afternoon when she related a start
ling tale of how she was brutally as.
saulted by rutiian early in the morn.
ing. She said that she went to the door
thinking the man was her husband who
followed her into the house and after
smashing in the parlor door assaulted heI
as already stated.
1t was learned from neighbors on
morning that Mrs. Heaphy was intoxi-
Gated on Saturday night, condition in
which she is frequently found, it is said

ter told person Sunday that
her mother was drunk ON Saturday
night and was running in and out Of
the house until very late. The daugh,
ter knew nothing of the assault and was
only awakened by the smoke issuing
forth through the building. Mrs. Heaphy
slept down stairs.
When seen on Monday Mrs. Heaphy
reiterated her story of the assault and
told how the alleged assailant had torn
her clothing from her body. She bore
marks on her face and head and her

ored. One rumor has it that the woman
who is well-known to the police as
bad character, having frequently beer
sent to the almshouse after her drunken
orgies, received her injuries by falling
with lamp which fired the house
Another statement is that the woman
was visited by band of "white caps
who had become tired of her evil habits
and determined to admonish her by 8
severe beating. DIR. Fahey states thai
there is no evidence of any criminal as
sault. The white cap theory is believed
to be the correct one if the woman re-
ceived her wounds at the hands of un'
known parties.

Fire in a Dry Goods store.

A fire easily quenched but costly oc-
CURED early Saturday evening at the
dry goods store of William B. Sharp g.
CO., Fourth and Market streets. The
conilagration was occasioned by the
falling of festoon of napkins in the
show window on the Fourth street side,
while clerk, Harry Ayers, was lighting
the gas. In a very short time every
thing in the window was destroyed and
the flames spread to the store, burning
the ceiling and damaging the shelving
and other wood work one-half the
length of the room, besides running a
portion of the stock therein. The fire
lasted about Is minutes and was extin-
guished by the use of small hose,
which was brought in service by the
clerks. Had it not been for their
promptness the entire property might
have been destroyed. Goods stored in
the basement We're spoiled by water
leaking through the floor above Chief
Engineer Robinson wisely forbade the
fire department going in service. Mr..
Ayers was locked in the window by a
saleswoman who closed and fastened its
doors to keep the smoke our of the store,
and to libcrate himself he had to burst
the doors open. The loss on stock is
expected TO reach $4,000 and on the
building from $500 to $1,000. The in
suFsnce is ample.

If you suffer with lame back, espe-
cially in morning, Allcock's Plastcrs are
sure relief.
If you cannot sleep, try an Allcock

Try this before you resort to opiates.
If any of your muscles are lame
joints still-feel as if they wanted oil

you. M.
If you use them once you will realize
why so many plasters have been made
in imitation of them. Like all good
things, they are copied as closely as the
law allows. Don't be duped by taking
an imitation when it is as easy to get the
genuine.
