The Lud Keefer has not turned her
wheel since last November. Capt. Lud
Keefer says it is better to do nothing
than to work for nothing.
The pilots on Plttsburg towboat in
the Louisville and New Orleans trade
are credited with having been paid
about Sl0,0 in eleven months.
The j. p. Jackson will take out from
Louisville for New Orleans the biggest
tow ever taken by boat of her power.
She will have 5000 tons OF cotton ties,
l 200 tons manufactured iron and nails,
barge OF brick aud six barges OF coal.
She will have good water all the way
through.
A sensation was created among the
Cincinnati river men by the announce
ment that Capt Ed. Maddy had been
superseded in command Of the Congo by
Capt. Don MARI, who recently left the
Memphis packet, Buckeye State. Capt.
Maddy has been considered one OF the
ablest commanders on the Ohio and
under the regime Of Commodore Keck
was held in such high esteem that he
was chosen to draft the plans and super
intend the construction Of the three
new boats for the Big Sandy Packet
Company TO which the Congo belongs
The cause assigned for Capt. Maddy'S
removal is the assumption Of too much
authority in holding the boat until mid
night without consulting Manager Laid

The marks on the landing at mid
night showed - feet of water in the

The Structure Will Soon Be Completed
and Ready for Travel.
The work OF completing the stone
bridge is going forward steadily, and it
is thought that about three weeks more
will see the magnificent structure COM
pleted. The parapet walls are nearly
finished, and the big flag stones for the
sidewalk are on hand and will soon be
laid down. A force Of stone-cutters
are az work on the Medina sandstone
curling. This curbing is red, and will
present handsome contrast with the
white stone of the bridge. The orna-
mental electric light poles, Of iron, are
being made by Sweeney 81 Sons, and
will soon be readr for setting up. The
electric railway company will soon get
TO work on the track over the bridge.
In laying down the ties, it is likely that
some of the cement on the arch will
have to be cut 9lt. and IL this is the
case, it will not an easy task, as the
cement is Is Ia as solid rock.

raE oHANoE OF a vEkDIor.
The jury in the Garrison Trial Seams
HopeIessly Stuck.


The jury In the case of the State v.
Garrison put in all of yesterday In
fruitless attempt to agree upon YER
dict.
When they came in at noon, in re-
spouse to the customary interrogatory,
Foreman Gibson said they stood just
where they did on the frst ballot, and
that there was no prospect of an agree
ment.
Notwithstanding this, the Court said
they could not be discharged, and at
two o'clock they recommended their
labors, and thus put in the remainder OF
the afternoon.
Before the jury went out in the morn
ing Judge Paul submitted to counsel an
instruction calculated TO aid the jury in
determining the meaning of hostile
demonstration or of an overt act. The
jury had submitted to the Court the fol-
lowing written question:
$40 he Court
"There is difference OF opinion
among the jury as to what constitutes
an overt act,' or hostile demonstra-
tion.' Please explain clearly and fully.
Wv. 3. GIBSON,
Foreman"
To this the Court answered that an
covert act" was ian act plain TO the
view; apparent, open, manifest; not
covert A hostile demonstration is
demonstration that indicates hostility
or an intention to attack another"
There was some difference of opinion
among counsel as to this definition, and
it was discussed for some little time, but
it finally went in substantially the above
shape, and the jury went out.
At ten minutes of six the jury came
into Court again, and announcing they
had not agreed upon verdict, was ad-
journed until this morning.

At school in Switzerland.

The system OF education in prac-
tice among the Swiss is enlightened
and far reaching. Not only are
pupils under a strict and kindly dis
cipline while at school, but they are
also made to feel that the warning
and protecting care of their tutors is
over them whenever they are outside
the fathers house. AS soon as the
child is In the street he has passed
from the circle of his home, and that
moment begins the schools authority.
Regulations, printed on slips and
left at every house, contain, among u
score OF others equally sens BILE, the
following rule, relating to outdoor
manners:
Delay Of any kind between the
scholars home and school is not al
lowed. No whooping, yelling, throw
ing stones and snowballs, teasing
children, or ridiculing age and de-
fOrmlty can be endured. Grown ger
sons shall be met with civility as they
pass Thus shall honor be reflected
on the schools"
Once in the classroom, the pupil is
taught department, as we'll as his
~three RS" he is told how to walk,
stand, and speak; and blot on his
book and smudge on his face are
regarded as equally bad.
"A book befouled is wasted" said a
teacher to the author of "The Swiss
Republic" land our economical
habits will not suffer such loss. Turn
over any OF our books In daily use,
aud you will find none torn or de-
faced by scribbling."
The same rule applies to the school
building and furniture. The desks
look as if they received daily washing
and polishing; not spot Of ink Is to
be seen on their surfaces, nor the
slightest evidence OF the mischievous
boys knife. The corridors and stair
ways show neither spot nor scratch;
and the walls are free from finger
marks, and no bits Of paper litter the
floor The children, representing all
grades of society, from patrician to
peasant, are neatly and comfortably
clad. None are dirty, ragged, or
shoeless.
~If child comes to school with
his face begrimed, or his clothes
torn" says a teacher. "he is washed
and mended and then sent home.
The mother is ashamed on finding
that some other person has had to
wash her child, and the child so
mortified that IL never becomes nee
essary to repeat the experiment"

About Needles.

The needle is one of the most ancient
implements or instruments of which we
have any record. The old-tlme needles
were unlike the present luxury, they hav-
ing been made of wood, bronze, bone,
ETC., and without eyes, a circular depres-
sion at the blunt end having been so
fastened as to enable it to carry the
thread. Phny describes the needles of
bronze which were used by the ancient
Greeks and Romans; AMI, since his day,
similar instruments have been found in
comparative abundance both at Hercu.
laneum and Pompeii. The first account
of the manufacture of ''white iron," or
steel needles, says that they were made
at Nuremberg, in 1860; and,
while the exact date is in doubt,
they are said to have been
made in Britain as early rs 1545. The
account further adds that the first nee
dies manufactured in England were
made by Spanish African, who died
without having taught anyone his art.
During the reign of Elizabeth the indus.
try was revived, and, strange to say, also
by foreigner-a native of India. The
forerunner of the present great Redditch
needle mandatory was established by
Christopher Greening and a Mr.. Damer,
in 1850. Many successful attempts were
made to bring out the "drilled eye" nee
die before it was finally introduced in
1926. Two years later the FURNISHING
machine, +" with which the eyes of nee-
dies are highly polished, was completed.
In this machine which is very simple,
the needles are all strung on wire,
which revolves rapidly, thereby impart-
ing a beautiful finish to the eye.-[St.
Louis Republic.

First, the blind; second, the partially
blind, or those who would not attend
the public schools under any con-
sideration; third. the defective sight
ed, or those whose vision is almost
normal, but who would become blind
by the visual strain necessary ia
schools for the sighted. The law also
states that the township secretaries
shall report to their county Superin-
tendents the names of all blind per-
sons in their respective townships,
and that the county superintendents
shall report such Names to the prin-
cipal of the college Tor the blind.
TneOreUtCa11y the law Is Ierfeoty prao-
tically it is OF very little value. Not
10 per cent. Of the young blind are
reported to the college through this
channel. Six trustees, appointed for
a term of four years by the Legis-
lature OF the State, have entire con-
troll OF the institution. They appoint
the principal and other officers and
are responsible TO the Legislature.
The grounds surrounding the
school comprise forty acres; twenty
in pasture, ten in meadow and ten
reserved fSr play and ornamental
grounds No more healthy or agree
able location can be found in Iowa.
The college building is about three
hundred feet long by fifty wide. 1t
is four stories in height, heated by
steam and reasonably well adapted
for its Office. 1t is built Of stone,
rooted with slate, supplied in every
part with hot and cold water and con-
tains large, airy halls and rooms.
Four iron stairways lead from top to
bottom, giving outlet to every part
Of the building. Provisions against
fire are so complete that the whole
house could be flooded in few min
utes A Waterman visits all parts
of the Institution every hour during
the night.
e. The school was established in or
der that the citizens of the State
might have for their blind children
the same advantages afforded by the
public schools. 1t is supported by
tax. as the public schools are sup
ported by tax. 1t is in fact public
boarding school, and Is not and never
can be college, as its name indicates.
Age for admission is not limited.
Children OF 6 years are here, and
adults Of any age may be admitted to
the shops. The question which takes
precedence of all others relating to
candidates for admission is: Can the
College for the Blind be of benefit to
the applicant? The main character
istic OF the school is coeducation OF
the blind and sighted. The present
enrolment is 1874. OF this number
36 per cent. are blind, 81 per cent.
are partially blind and 13 per cent.
have defective sight. Blind and
sighted are educated together in per-
feet harmony with the best results.

THERE is one piece OF real estate
In Maine which is entailed SO far as
such property can be In this country,

is known as Dundee" aud Is situated
In the town of Limington. In 1865
Francis Small bought it, with other
lands, from the Indians; the original
deed being yet preserved in the fam
lily. Having descended from father
to son for several generations, Hum
phrey Small purchased a small section
of-his land, which he named
Dundee, and he stoutly affirmed
that Dundee should remain. in the
ownership OF the Smalls forever, and
that 1t should be allowed to become
a forest again. Twice he was offered
more than double its value, but al
though hard pressed for money, he
remained true to his declaration. On
the 2Sth OF November this property
will have been In possession of tho
family 223 years, and to commemor-
ate this, and also to celebrate the
centennial of Limington, which was
organized in 1892, the family had a

year they propose to celebrate their
225th anniversary with a larger gath
ering, to include all OF the Small

Vinton Is the seat OF the Iowa
College for the Blind, a most inter
esting institution supported by the
State. During a recent visit to it
the writer learned many things per-
tanning TO its management, and the
class OF afflicted people whom il Is In
tended TO aid and educate.she
The Iowa school was opened April
A., 1853, at Iowa City. In August,
1862, it was removed to its present
site The first principal, through
Whuse exertions the institution was
founded, was Samuel Bacon, a. blind
man, graduate OF the institution at
Columbus, Ohio. The school is sup
ported by three classes OF appropria-
tions: First, $4,000 per annum for
salaries of officers and teachers; sec
ond, $40 per quarter for each pupil
enrolled-this is called the current
expense or living fund; third, special
appropriations for furniture, building
purposes, etc. Students from other
States and Territories may be
admitted on payment OF S216
yearly. The law states in sub
stance that every blind person of
school age and every person of age
with sight SO defective that he can
not obtain an education In the public
schools is entitled to instruction in
the college for the blind. This liber-
atty admits three classes of pupils:

Fine Carperts.

Two of the finest carpets of their kind
in the world are now to be seen mt Fon-
taincblcau, where they have been taken
at the order of President Carnot. These
carpets, one of which is thirty feet square,
and thu other eleven yards long and ten
yards wide, were ordered by Napoleon
III. at the Gobeln mandatory. The
ground of the smaller is yellow and the
inventory value was set down at $40, 900.
The larger, which has n black ground,
was estimated at $4,000. The real
value of the carpets, which were ten
years in making, is supposed to be much
greater than these sums.

perform an interesting experiment
by separating the soluble salt. 1t is
only necessary to place a little gun
powder in a glass half filled with
water and allow it to stand day or
so in a warm place-such as a sunny
windowsill.
The saltpeter will first dissolve in
the water, and then creeping up the
sides OF the glass will crystalline
around the edge, as shown in the
illustration. The creeping property
Of certain salts is very interesting
and sometimes very annoying
one to the chemist. Ammoniac
chloride, or sal ammoniac, possesses
it in high degree, and it may often
be observed incrusting the edges of
electric batteries, in which its solu-
tion is used as an exciting agent. 1t
may be prevented by covering the
edges of the vessel containing it with
grease, wax or paraffin.
The residue left in the tumbler
consists of sulphur and charcoal, but
there is no simple method Of separat-
ing them. The sulphur will dissolve
in bisulphide Of carbon, but we can
not recommend the use of this in
flammable and offensive liquid to the
amateur in chemistry.

THE long Venezuelan distrac ton
has come to q close, for time at
least, in the capture of the capital by
the victorious Crespo and his appoint
melt as President. Apart from all
other issues at stake, the Presidency
of Venezuela is a Irize worth striving
for. While the salary of the Office is
but s25, 900 year, tits reported that
Blanco made S25, 900, 900, Palacio,
the fugitive President, $1,000, 900,
and Crespo himself 1000, 900 from
1882 to 1884 when he was at the head
of affairs. So long as these opportu-
mites for Doodle remain, however,
there is not much prospect of perma-
nent peace. After Crespo has had
his grab there WILDE more candidates
for the Presidency and its lucrative
privileges.
