STILL No TaDInGs.

Almost two months ago w. e. Car
lin (son Of General w. P. Carlin), J..
H. Pierce and A. H. Himmelwright,
left Kendrick for the hsadwaters of
the Clearwater 10 hunt big game.
They had : guide named Martin
Spencer, and wore also accompanied
by packer and cook. Since then
no tidings have been received from
the hunters. General Carlin becom-
ing alarmed has organized several
searching parties who have started
from different points. The last party
has Just left Lewiston. The Tribune
says Of it:
Tom Beall, who has been selected
TO lead the searching party, has pros
pected and hunted over that rough
region for tho past thirty years. In
conversation with the Tribune just
before leaving TO join the expedition
Mr.. Beall expressed grave doubts .
to the safety Of the missing men, IS
winter sets in early in October and
thereafter several feet of snow covers
the earth, making progress with ami
mails impossible and extremely pre-
carious on snowsboes even when
skilled in mountaineering. In fact,
on his return about six weeks ago
from there he encountered two men,
jerome Uranza and Blackington, who
had been lost ia the mountains for
two months during which time they
subsisted on wild berries and bulbs
until strength had completely lef,
them, and they had collapsed in . ra-
vine, where they were accidentally
discovered and rescued. The party
guided by Mr.. Beall consists Of Lieut.
Overman, of the 4th cavalry, = detail
of troopers, packers, six horses and
six mules. The party will head fol
Lolo pass and establish camp, whencs
they will radiate on snowshoes in oil
directions seeking traces of the un.
fortunate men.
Lieut.. Voorhees, arrived in the city
yesterday with detachment of TWEEN
ty-one men from Walla WalIa and
pitched their camp on the railroad
grounds on the river bank. Three
wagons, each drawn by six heavy
mules, are loaded with three months
rations. The object of the party j.
to proceed as far as possible in the
direction of the Lolo pass and estab
lish camp to supply provisions, etc.
to the various parties that are now
out searching for the lost Carlin par
tv. Lieut.. Voorhees, and his caval
rymen will leave this morning TO,
Fort Lapwai, thence to Greer's ferry
where they will receive further orders
The last boat brought a considerabl,
quantity of provisions, ETC., for tb'
party from Walla Walla, some o
which will be left here until the pro
longation of their trip shall requir
additional supplies.

Thinks She Is the sarah Louise.

Lynn, Mass, December Ia. S. Carr,
of Carr Brothers of Cohasset, was in
Swampscott this morning and visited the
scene of the wreck of the unknown
schooner. He thinks the sunken craft is
the Sarah Louise, owned by Charles S.
Todd of Calais, Me-, from Port johnson
for Cohasset, with 159 tons of coal con
signed to Carr Brothers A fleet of coal
ers was due at Cohasset Monday, and
all have reported but one. The descrip-
ton of the sunken craft tallies with that
of the Sarah Louise, which was of En-
glish build, $50 tons burthen, and 80
years old. The skiff picked up answers
the description of that carried by the
Sarah Louise, which had one other boat.
Mr.. Carr states that the Sarah Louise
left Hyannis Sunday. and he thinks she
was blown off her course while trying to
make Cohasset, and was wrecked through
the captain putting toward an unknown
coast to weather the gale. On the Sarah
Louise were four men, one of whom was
P. A., Hooper, cook, brother Of the
captain, also of Calais. -

Concerning the Blaine Memorial.

Boston. December IA special to the
Herald from Augusta, says that last
spring movement was started by the
friends and admirers of the late j. G..
Blaine to raise, by voluntary contribu-
lions from the people of Maine, fund
for the erection of a = memorial statue of
the illustrious American.
The movement was started immediate
ly after his death. A Blaine Memorial
Association was organized, composed of
leading citizens of all political parties,
and subscription committee, composed
of prominent man from each county
was appointed to make thorough can
vass Of their respective counties for CON
tributions to this memorial fund.
After the movement was started every
body seemed to indorse the idea. It was
the general impression that the deceased
statesmen's admirers would so generous
ly respond that $4,000 or $4,000 could
be raised with but little effort.
Since the middle of last May, when
the canvass was instituted, the sum to-
tai of the subscriptions raised and placed
in the hands of the treasury does not
exceed $115, of which amount 500 is the
subscription of a New York gentleman,
who is native of Maine.

All on Account of the Tariff Bill.

Somerville, N. j., December 1.-The
employees of the two big wooden mills in
Raritan. two miles from here, numbering
some 1860 men, were notified Wednesday
that owing to the tariff agitation. if the
mills were to consult their best interests
they would close down entirely, but, in
order that the employees might have an
opportunity to earn something they had
decided to give the employees the option
of working short time at reduction of 2
per cent of wages or not at all. The
mills promise in their notice to resume
work at the present scale if the tariff bill
is defeated. With this reduction in
wages, the mill owners have also reduced
the rent of the company's houses from
Sc to So per month. Kenyon Brothers,
manufacturers of wooden machinery,
have shut down this week for lack of or
ders. They say that if the tariff bill is
not defeated they win he compelled to
close down for good.

CROWDS SAW HIM DIE.
Gotham's Pet Lion Ate Too Fast and
Clicked to Death


New York, November 3O.-The Central
Park menagerie has suffered great loss
and there is probably not one visitor in a
thousand, especially among the children,
who will not feel as if he had lost an old
friend, when he hears of the violent
death of the famous African lion Jack.
The death was an extraordinary one, and
as it took place in the presence of one of
the biggest crowds of visitors this sea-
son, the excitement was intense.
The animals dinner was going on
Tuesday afternoon between l and 2
o'clock as usual, and of course, there
was big crowd of spectators. The
weather was so pleasant that there were
more people in attendance than there had
been for a long time, and the centre OF
attraction was the popular pet hon
Jack. He was always fine-looklng
king Of his kind but he never looked
grander than he was yesterday, and his
keepers said that he never had been IN
better health.
sJack, when he got his first chunk of
meat. was evidently hungry for he seized
it with avidity, and at once started to
make a quiet meal OF it, knowing from
custom that what is called the extra"
chunk would follow the small one, and
that it was an attractively big pieceScom-
pared with the other. The moment he
got his small piece he lay down upon
the floor with the meat between his
paws and munched away at it greedily.
Occasionally he growied bit and
stopped gnawing at the meat to get
view of his friends outside of the bars,
and then he would resume operations.
The lion had done quick work with
the meat, and he had just risen to his
feet and made a stride ard the bars
apparently expecting the extra big piece
to be given him IS unusual when he
suddenly made jump, shook his head
violently and then applied his forepawss
to his mouth as if trying to get rid OF
something between his jaws or in his
throat. He whirled around once or
twice as he paved at the jaws and then
apparently growing weak he staggered
aspif he had hard work to keep on mis-
feet. The great animal was evidently in
an agony of pain, and as his eyes fairly
bulged out of his head and he tottered
toward the front of the cage with an
almost beseeching look in them the
crowd became aware that Jack was
choking to death.
The keepers saw it too and there then
ensued scene of tremendous excitement
Some women and children began to cry,
and fearing.confusion, the cautious keep,
ers quietly, but quickly, had the crowd
move out of the room. The doors were
then locked a
But Jacks fate had been settled.
The keepers could give the great lion no,
help, and before one-half the crowd had
been hustled out he had rolled over on
his side and, writhing in pain, breathed
his last. ~
Policeman Mccormick and the keeper
We're utterly dumfounded. The whole
thing had happened 50 suddenly and
SO quickly that even had they had the
best appliances known to save an animal
from suffocation they would have been
of no avail

The Platform all Right.

In the second place, the financial
plank of the Syracuse convention opens
with the assertion that "the issuing of
a national currency belongs to the SOW
ereign power alone, and should not be
delegated to private individuals or
corporations"
This assertion is borrowed from the
platform Of the Populists. 1t has no
foundation whatever either in reason
or in experience. On the contrary, it
is very pointedly discredited by the
financial crisis through which this
country has lately passed, and by which
so many of its people have suffered.
The only cause for that crisis was the
fact that the stability Of the founda-
ton on which our currency rests was
threatened because the treasury had
been placed in false position by con-
gress. II there had been no govern
ment notes in circulation above the
value of 81 and if the national banks
had been at liberty to issue as much
currency as they could issue with safe
ty, under strict regulations and under
government supervision, all such cur
rency being redeemable in gold, a f.
nancial crisis under such conditions as
existed this summer would have been
impossible.-N. Y. Witness.
We think our friend of the
Witness is mistaken in his idea
that the statement that money
should be issued by the general
government only was borrowed
from the Populists.
We have an old poster used by
Gideon T. Stewart, when candi-
date for governor of Ohio either
in 1871 or '73, on which is
synopsis of the purposes Of the
Prohibition party, one statement
being that money should be issued
by the general government. The
Prohibition national platform of
1872 makes the same declaration.
1t does not seem as though the
Prohibitionists had borrowed this
from the Populists.
But as to the wisdom of the
proposition itself.
The constitution of the United
States gives to the general gov
ernmcnt the sole power to coin
(crcate) money and regulate the
value thereof. 1t is open to ques-
ton whether the general govern
ment can properly delegate that
function to individuals or corpo-
rations.
The constitution also expressly
reserves to the general govern
ment the power to make paper
money legal tender.
The constitutional construction
of the government is therefore all
in favor of the Prohibition posi-
tion.-New Era.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1893-10-24

The following from the Demo
ocrat- Star shows that Mississippi
is in better condition than is gen
orally supposed:
A Memphis drummer who uav-
els in Mississippi says he finds
collections in this State very good;
that the farmers had more money,
more hogs and hominy and read
more than ever before. Conse-
quently they are more prosper
Gus and thus aid the merchants tc
prosperity, though the farmers
are curtailing expenses wherever
they can. He said that though
he had collected in all parts of the
State he had been forced to ac-
cept but one complete ''stand off
and but one certified check.
