Asbestus, which has come to be largely
utilized by electrical engineers is one of
the most interesting substances employed
in the arts. Many new beds of this ma
terial are being discovered, but except
from the Canadian and Italian beds the
specimens secured are practically useless
for manufacture. Large quantities of
floss and powder asbestus are obtained
from the district of the Susa valley,
Piedmont, ard in the second district,
about 30 miles long, in the Aosta valley,
the deposits are said to be practically i'll
exhaustiblC. \ third district, which is
still more important, centers at Naltel-
lima, the route to which passes Milan and
Como to Colico. The Canadian deposits
are in the Black Lake district, between
Quebec and Sherbrooke.-New York

An "Ofice Cat" Worth Having.

A parsonage cat whose favorite seat is
on the study table has found a new use
for himself He watches his masters
pen and occasionally, when the writer is
tired, takes the holder in his mouth But
his real usefulness is to act as paper
weight. When u sheet is finished and
laid aside, the cat walks gravely to it
and takes his seat on the paper. As soon
as another is laid aside, he leaves the
first and sits down on the second. Some
times, to try him, his master lays down
On different parts of the table sheets in
rapid succession. But "Powhatan'-the
cat-remains seated, shrewdly supposing
that to be fui not business. When work
begins anew, the cat seats himself on the
last paper laid down and waits for an
other. Thus he shows that he watches
his masters work, and perhaps thinks it
his duty to keep the paper from blowing
away.-St. Nicholas.

congregation to pray for her safe return
and when she returned home he issued
others asking the worshipers to return
thanks. Miss Abney never became Mrs

The Pope's Encyclical.

NEW YORK, May s. -Herald's
Paris cable says: From autheniC
information it would appear that
Leo is preparing an encyclical to
the European governments setting
forth the inevitable crisis to which
the crushing military charges con-
denim them. He will call the at
tentiOn of the governments to the
necessity of Introducing ideas of
pacificatiOn into their general
policy, as well as the appeasement
Of the anger of the working class,
consequent upon their misery.
His Holiness will ask for a resOlu-
ton on the question of disarma-
ment, probably by an encyclical,
which may be the result Of an
agreement come to in an interview
with the Emperor of Germany.
The governments of Italy, Austria,
Spain, Belgium and Russia, are
said to be already informed of the
agreement referred to above, and
are willing to accept it. Russia
has made certain reserves, but in
tends, it is believed, to adhere to
the general decision, in which case
it would be charged with bringing
to bear pressure upon France, TO
induce her to join other nations.

IN THE COURTS.

Nothing was done this morning
in Judge NOonan's court.
In the county court an affidavit
charging lunacy against John Long
was filed, and he is to be tried this
afternoon.
In Judge Kings court divorce
suit was filed and less than half an
hour after it was filed judgment
had been rendered in favor of the
plaintiff, the defendant accepting
the service and not opposing the
proceeding. The style of this rail-
reading divorce suit was Jennie
Richards against T. w. Richards,
and the ground alleged in the petit
ton was abandonment.
In this court Edward Desalme
has sued the San Antonio Street

An Eastern Cyclone.

FULTON, Ky, May S.-From J.
7. Cantley, who arrived here today
from Saratoga the meagre particu-
lars are learned of a destructive
cyclone which swept over a portion
Of the country northeast of here
Saturday night, between s and 9
o'clock. Forest trees in a Swath
three miles wide have been twisted
off and piled up on one another
six and eight deep, making the
land over which the storm
swept almost impossible. Farm
houses and barns are scattered
in all directions, and bedding of
all descriptions is dangling from
the tops of trees. AS there is no
telegraph communication between
this point and Saratoga, which is
fourteen miles distant, it is impOs-
sible to learn anything regarding
the casualties, but it is more than
likely that considerable destruction
of life has resulted. This is the
second visitation of the kind at the
village. The first one occurred last
year, one month earlier than this.

DIR. Richter's First Lecture.

NEW YORK, May S.-Dr. Max
Ohnefalsch Richter, the we'll
known archaeOlogist, who for tie
last twelve years has been making
explorations on the sites of the an
cient towns, sanctuarieS and nekrC-
poles in the island of Cyprus, I'M
der the auspices of the British,
Berlin and Cyprus Museums, and
whose elaborate work on "Cyprus,
the Bible and Home" has just been
published, is in this country,
and is to lecture at Chicken
ing hall tonight on the subject
of his lifework among the buried
antiquities in Cyprus. DR.. Richter
is recognized by the learned bodies
and societies of Europe as being
the first to bring modern scientific
methods to bear upon Cyprian
archaeology which, previous to his
work there, had been practically
unclassified. The results obtained
through his work have thrown
light on many obscure points of
prehistoric, Homeric and Bibli-
cal as well as classical history
and have been of the high
est Importance tOscience. DR.. Rich
ter's lectures will be of unusual in
terest owing to the recent discus
sion among psychologists on the
genuineness of the collection of
CypTiOte antiquities made by l.. p.
De CesnOla, and now in possession
of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. His associations and the

German Papers:on the Vote.

BERLIN, May S.-North German
Gazette expresses the belief that
coming elections will repair the
attack on the prestige of Germany
made by the vote in the Reichstag
against the army bill. The people
will surely recognize that the
completion of the defenses of the
country is necessary to its con-
tinued existence. The National
Zeitung says that the Reichstag
lust dissolved was the worst par
lament since the foundation of
the empire and should the electors
give into the trimmivirate COM
posed of Bebel, Richter and Lieber
the ruin of Germany would be
effected, peace menaced and the
achievements Of the years 1860

HARRIS IS NO MORE.
The Wife Murderer Electrocuted at
Sing Sing and Dies Game.

SING SING, May S.-Carlyle W.
Harris was eleOtrOcu ted here to-
day at II 40 for the murder of his
schoolgirl wife, Helen Potts. Har-
ris rested well last night, but did
not sleep much. His self-cOntrol
was marvellous. His only sign of
agitation was the constant SmOk-
ing of cigarettes. He was up early
this morning and looked over the
manuscript he had prepared to be
given to the press by his relatives,
after his end. At s o'clock he par
took of light breakfast. Mrs.
Harris, his mother, having made
her final farewell on Saturday, re-
manned at Amber hotel shut i'm
from all SitOrS, with her young
est son Allan watching from the
window the flag staff from which
would be unfurled the dreadful
flag announcing the ignOminOus
death of her first born.
Harris did not ask for morphine
or any stimulant this morning.
His only request was for two
oranges, which were given him.
Twenty-seven witnesses, ten of
them newspaper men, were invited
to the death chamber. At 1870,
the Head Keeper COnnaughtOn
and two guards then went for
Harris. He was awaiting the final
summon in his cell, with Chaplain
WE'LL. The procession was quick
ly formed. Harris looked slight
and pale, as he stepped into the
death room. He paused an in
slant on the threshold and
looked calmly over the as
sembled witnesses, scanning
their faces as his eyes swept
around the room. He walked
entirely alone, just behind Con-
naughtOn and then waVered for a
moment, more from not knowing
which way he was expected to go
than from weakness. COnnaughtOn
pointed to the chair, and without
even a look of curiosity at the thing
which was to end his career he
dropped into the seat. AS he
did so he began to talk in a low
voice to the chair and said /:
"What did you wish to say" In
weak voice as though each word
cost him powerful effort he said ::
81 have no further observation to
make, | desire to say that | am alb
solutely innocent" Those were
his last words. After uttering
them he seemed relieved and
seated back in the chair to which
his legs and arms had already
been strapped by Ration and Ford,
two guards. First contact was
then applied, the current remaining
on j5$ seconds. In two minutes DR..
Irvine applied the stethOscOpe to
his heart and pronounced him
dead. The execution was a COM
plete success. 1t was plain to all
who were present, that death had
come at the first touch of the cur
rent.
