"You know that if you saturate this

the last bit of the potassium-which, by
the way, will float-is consumed.
These men had secured all the available
potassium on the Pacific coast, and had
laid in 4 supply of naphtha. With these
materials they were ready to destroy the

A RICH MANS DOUBLE LIFE.
Two Names and Two Wives-How He
Got Rid OF One Woman.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 6.--An extraordi-
nary story has been brought to light by
suit flied yesterday in the federal court of
this city by st. Nincent's institute for the
insane, OF ST. Louis, against John I. Da-
Wis, to recover So, 342 and interest for the
care OF his wife, Mary Ann Davis, from
March 20, 1876, until October 20, 1891. In
1870 or 1871 Mrs. Davis, the wife of Stock
ton ranchman, became insane and was
placed IN the Stockton insane asylum.
She was then 80 years old and had a little
daughter. Some time after Davis removed
his wife to st. Louis, placing
her in the care of Sisters of Char
ity until 1876. He then took
her from the asylum, and few days later
Mrs. Davis was found wandering alone
near Bellevue, III. She was taken back to
st. Louis and placed in ST. Nincent's in
stitute, where she has remained ever since.
Davis, after getting rid of his wife, placed
his little daughter with people in Stock
ton named Matthews, and she was BROUGHT
up IN the belief that her mother was dead.
John 1. Davis, the husband, prospered in
tAe meantime and Is now worth 800 900
owning vast properties in the San JOAQUIN
valley and San Luis Obispo county. When
Charity at st. Louis were turned over n
II. Nincent's institute few wears ago
the correspondence between Davis and
the mother superior was found and the in
stltute last fall demanded a reasonable
sum from Davis for his wifes mainten
ance. Davis offered a check for 500. but
the offer was rejected, and a suit followed.
In 1859 Davis was married by contract to
Miss Catherine Z. Greedy. of West Berke-
ley. Soon after Davis deserted his con-
tract wife. and she has brought suit
against linn for $4,000 which is now
pending in the superior court at Stockton.
1t is stated that Davis real name is Nor
dccal Naneil, which he does not deny. and
that he left Modesto, ILL.,, under cloud.
In 1851 Davis was convicted of perjury in
relation To promissory note, but in iSS2
the supreme court reversed the decision.

Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1892-12-10

Railroad employees are reported as
indignant that rumor has gained
circulation to the effect that they are
preparing for strike some time next
year, when such course would be
most annoying to the general public
and involve the greatest degree of loss
1t is to be hoped that there is some
foundation for the reported indigna-
ton, but really very little is yet appar-
ent. The signs of the times in the rail-
road world point to gigantic strike, or
series of strikes, unless the demands of
employees are complied with before the
great rush to Chicago begins. 1t is
certain, however, that If general tie
up is attempted the strikers will get
very little sympathy from the public.

Nothing truer, If truth admits of
comparison, was ever penned than the
following pointed editorial from the
Central Christian Advocate: ain spite
OF all expressions of discomfort, and of
the clamor about oppression, the facts
and figures all indicate that laboring
men and women are better situated,
are receiving better wages, have within
reach vastly greater and better advan-
tages, have larger and nobler oppor-
tunity and broader outlook in Amer
ica today than any other generation has
ever had anywhere in the world"

The Washington Post points out
fact that has escaped general attention
in connection with the threatened
shortness in national finances. 1t is
that the present low condition of the
treasury has in a large degree been
caused by the heavy payments ON the
public debt. The bonded Indebtedness
has decreased from about $500 600, 900
in 1865 to $s5O,OOO,O 900, and the pay
ments in excess of the requirements of
the sinking fund amount to the round
sum Of one thousand million dollars.
During the present administration the
debt has been reduced $3.50, 900, 900.
The Post further says the policy of APP
plying the surplus to the debt, with
consequent saving of interest charges
has always had its critics in the treas
ury department, who foresaw that the
time would come when money would
be needed for current expenses.

Chief Justice Paxson, of Pennsyiva-
mia, in his charge to the grand jury in
the case Of the Homestead rioters, de-
fined clearly what constitutes treason
against a state Of the Union, not against
the United States, He began first by
declaring that the Homestead strikers
were guilty OF unlawful violence when
they refused TO permit the men to land
whom the Carnegie company had hired
to protect their property at cannot be
tolerated for moment that one laborer
shall say to another laborer Yen shall
not work for this man for that wage
without my consent, and then enforce
such command by brutal violence upon
his person" Following is the definition
OF what treason against a state is:
when large number of men arm and
organize themselves by divisions an6
companies, appoint officers and engage
in common purpose to defy the law, to
resist its officers and TO Dcp;ivu any por-
ton of their fellow citizens ut the rights
to which they are entitled under the
constitution and laws, it is a levying of
war against the state, and the offense is
treason"

The Worlds Debt to America.

! " - ~ , CNbN W tAlItIICa.
We regret to say that one of the things
the world has received from America is
tobacco chewing. But there are other
gifts, in view of which the vile tobacco
chewing habit can be forgiven to us. In
the Columbus celebrations of this Octo-
Der it will be well to remind Europe of
some of her debt to the United States.
The canned fruit industry is worth
many millions of dollars a year. Wher-
ever the foot of man treads-from the
poles to equatorial Africa-there the tin
fruit and meat can goes with him. 1t is
an American invention. So is its twin
brOther-the condensed milk can. The
condensing of milk in vacuum was first
made possible by the inventive brain Of
Gail Borden, citizen of this republic.
Into this industry two millions of money
flow annually from all parts of the
earth. The steam harvester and nearly
ever kind of labor saving agricultural
machinery-not to mention that little
item of the sewing machine-we gave to
our less fortunate relatives in the rest Of
the world.
The monitor-the pattern of the mod
ern warship-was the invention of a
Swede, who had first to come and breathe
our free AIR and become citizen Of the
United States before he could material
ize his idea. But the most important
discovery of all was the adaptation of
steam for propelling vessels. Robert
Fulton showed mankind how steam
could drive ship through the water at
a rate that would have made the people
of hundred years ago spin around in
their heads. A physician in the United
States showed doctors how they might
deaden consciousness temporarily by
ether or other anasthetics and perform
the most terrible surgical operations
without patients knowing it. The APP
plication of anRsthetics alone has saved
already many thousand lives and so
much suffering that the gratitude Of this
and comiuT generations must flow out TO
the American DIR. Morton.
Let us see. americans have prac-
tically created the science and art Of
dentistry. America-and by America is
meant of course the United States
gave to mankind the telegraph, the tele-
phone and the electric light
Here are only a few of the gifts for
which the Old World must thank the
United States. But most glorious and in
spring of all is the gift of this republic
itself proclaiming to the ages that
nation can govern itself and become the
richest and most powerful on the earth
without either king. Car, shah, emperor
or titled nobility.
Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1892-12-10

1t may be that the increasing scarcity
of gold will be stopped for a time at
least The output from the South At
rican mines is growing larger. This
year they will yield nearly a million
and quarter ounces. That is only a
little less than the gold mines of the
United States produce annually. 1t may
be that next year these South African
mines will yield more gold than ours.
In 1897 the output was not quite 80 ,000
ounces. In 1891 it had increased to $780,
219. Three years ago it was predicted
that these mines would prove exuraor-
dinarily profitable, and it may be that
their full development is not even yet
reached, If they had been in the United
States instead Of in Africa there would
have been a tremendous boom, With
cities growing up in fortnight and q
great population formed in two months.
Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1892-12-10

A Homestead dispatch Of the Sth
inst. says: about seventy-five cases of
restitution resulting from the great
strike have been reported TO the relief
committee, and a severe spell of winter
weather will see large increase. Con-
tributions are coming in, but not so
fast as the relief committee would like
to see them" 1t is expected that a
general call for aid will soon be issued,
and the appeal will not be made in
vain. Right thinking people do not
bold the strikers guiltless. On the
contrary they believe that the acts of
the Homestead men which result d so
disastrousiy both to capital and labor,
were and are deserving of the sever
est condemnation. But innocent
women and children will not be per-
mitted to suffer from hunger or cold
on account of the sins or mistakes of
the fathers. The strikers themselves
do not deserve any consideration from
the people. Public sentiment does not
and should not regard leniently any
effort to right real or imaginary wrongs
Of labor by resort to force. The strike
was wrong in principle and ended as it
should in ignominious failure. The
result of five months of needless con-
fiict and privation is loss to the strik-
ers in wages amounting to hundreds of
thousands of dollars and loss to the
state Of nearly a million. And all for
what? Absolutely nothing. For the
loss and misery it has occasioned there
can be no compensation, The greatest
lesson that it has taught is that "force
can accomplish no good thing in ma
ton whose rulers, the people, have in
their hands the ballot, and with il the
power to make the laws"
