i'm ica Fridge at Niagara.

The great ice bridge at Niagara Falls
formed ct l0:30 c'clcc.; Tuesday morn
ing and remained stationary for an hour
and half. Then it moved for five
minutes and came to Il halt again.
There was another short move at about
, O'Clock in the afternoon. After that,
until i o'clock, the bridge held and the
ice kept piling up, The force and
weight were too great, however, and at
4.05 p. m. the immense body began to
move.
Al day long visitors lined tie banks,
and refused to leave the various posi-
tions of advantage, so intent were they
to view the wonderful spectacle. When
the bridge formed the ice piled nearly
30 feet high. The first persons to
moUnt the bridge were two sisters from
Toronto. the Misses Annette and
Amelia Parkinson, Knox College
gi,is. who would have crossed the foe had it
siot been for cautionary advice from the old
suide 1Sek McCioy The girls went TO the
pinnacle O; the ice mountain under Prospect
Point. where man lost his life in 1876, and
McCloy recovered his body by tunnelling
through the mountain. IN fact there seemed
nothing daring enough which they would not
attempt The crowd checred and checred the
girls. and they waved back their hands III re-
spousc st times the mist from the American
Falls would cnyelop them, but it did not
lampen their ardor in the least. They made
Il splendid exhibition oF perseverance, nerve
aud bravery.
The big wedge at Swift Water punt in the
Sauows broke at i:05 p. m, and in half an
hour the stacks of ice we're chasing through
the lower rapids There was every reason to
expect that stronger and better bridge
would form during the night The cold WAS
intens; the thermometer registering zero.
The New York Central trains have been
loaded with visitors from surrounding cities
and towns hurrying from the station to the
fails to get 4 glimpse Of this strange and Wen
dcgful spectacle. At G:3o The bridge had
again formed.

Two in . Bed.

The London Lancet called attention
not long ago to the habit of dual sleep
ing, saying that there is nothing that
will so derange the nervous system of
q person who is eliminativc in nervous
force as to lie all night in bed with
another who is absorbent Of nervous
force. The latter viii sleep soundly
and rise refreshed, while the former
will tess restless, and will awake in
the morning weary, pecvish and dis
eourlged No two persons, no matter
who they are, ought habitually TO sleep
together. The one will thrive, the 9TH
cr lose. An aged person and child
should not be bedmates; great as the
pleasure to grandma to have her lit
lie comfort" with her at night, it is one
which the wise as we'll as fond relative
will forgo for the child's sake.
y case recently came to the writer's
knowledge. says the New York Times,
of two sisters fifteen and seventeen
years old. The younger was splendid
specimen ofyoung womanhood, robust,
active and merry, while the elder,
though not i'll in any definite way, was
thin, tired out quickly, and fretted over
trihes like nervous old woman. These
conditions finally came to be accepted
and probably would have continued in
definitely if an English relative, a ply
sician, had not made the family a visit.
His sharp eyes noted the morning las
situde Of the elder girl and the CORES
ponding freshness of her sister at break
fast, and drew his conclusions. An in
quiry Of the mother secured the knowl-
edge that they not only slept in the
same bed, but, said She, ''Eiise's Ghe
elder devotion to her sister is such
that for years she has only gone to
sleep when she could hold Mabel close
in her arms
The doctor fairly snorted at this SEN
timeat, and in the end persuaded the
sisters to sleep apart. Two pretty
brass bedsteads side by side offered pro-
pinquity and company, but prevented
contact, with the result that in six
months time Elise showed a marked
improvement in her general health.
and has become, in eighteen months, a
happy, good tempered young woman,
with considerable increase avoirdu-
pois. In this case. at least. the improve
ment dates from the moment of sepa-
rate beds.

Owing to the extreme financial de-
preston hundreds of men in all our
cities have been thrown out of en-
ployment... Many of these are able and
willing to do farm work. There are
doubtless many farmers who need help
for the remainder of the season-and
others who could find work all winter
for good men, at low wages. A bu-
reau has been organized in St. Paul,
under the name of ''The Public En-
ployment Bureau" by city officials
and citizens, to find work for as many
as possible of her unemployed workers.
Any farmer needing help, either for
the fall months or for the entire win
ter, may readily secure it by address
ing Mayor F. P. Wright, st. Paul,
MINI, stating what he wants, and on
what terms.

Present Administration Arraigned

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. S.-The Grand
Army encampment adjourned after
adopting lengthy resolutions arraign-
ing the present administration for
its pernicious activity in the line of
cutting off the pensions of the old sol.
diers and compelling them to produce
evidence that their pitiful allowance
was not procured by fraud. instead of
placing the burden of proof on the
numerous government off ,.ials who are
lavishly paid for their service in this
direction.
The following officers of the Woman's
RELIEF Corps were elected and installed:
President, Mrs. Amantha j. Waters.

ADAMS ELECTED.
The Massachusetts Man Succeeds
Weissert.


Weissert.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6-Already the
jam at the Union station Of people
leaving for home has begun. Seven
train loads were taken out within q
half hour during the afternoon without
making hole in the crowd. The en-
rampment proper shows a disposition
to rush through with it's business rap
idly. The election of officers was
brought up late in the afternoon and
the three following were elected, prac-
tically without opposition: John J. B.
Adams. Massachusetts,, commander
in. chief; Colonel l. N. Walker. Indi-
ana, senior vice commander; j. c. Big
gar, Texas. junior vice commander.
The report of General Weissert was
devoted almost entirely to = the subject
of pensions.
From the Adjutant's Office.
The report which was submitted by
Adjutant General Gray is probably the
most interesting from the Grand Army
point of view. He shows that the pres
ent encampment is composed of 1857
members. The returns for June 30,
1885, give membership in good stand
ing of 1917 1928 The number of posts is
1895; departments, Is. In addition to
the membership in good standing there
are returned delinquent. 4,670, and re-
ma ming suspended, Il 1851. The delin-
quents are such as are in good standing,
have paid dues, and but for the neglect
of post officers would be SO returned.
There has been a net loss of member
ship in the past year of 2,165. During
the year there were 7,0O2 deaths in the
order,
Larger Than Any Previous Year.
From June 80, 1892, to June 81, 1893,
under the column ''expen 9ed in char
ity," there was reported $17S,845. 50.
Since these records have been kept
there has been reported under this head
s., 500, 600. The report of the quarter
master, General Join Taylor, shows
receipts of SCI, $40 and expenses So, 652,
balance in the treasury $12,ls7. There
remains in the Grant monument fund
$s.75s. The report of Surgeon General
William c. Vile, M. D., shows the ranks
of the Grand Army to be composed, as
rule, of as hardy and sturdy set OF
men as can be found anywhere. age and
condition taken into consideration.
Consumption, however. and grave lung
troubles seems to have a good footing
in the ranks. which is due, probably, to
the exposure of camp duty. He rec.
