COLUMBIA'S MAY DAY.

The May day of 1898 is historic for
America. In Europe May day ushers
in the warfare of brothers, the hand
of labor against the hand of capital.
But the Columbian May day in Chica-
go inaugurates the Twentieth century
of Christendom in peace. Under the
shadow of the view of liberty the ma
tons of the world fraternize, wing
with each other in friendly zeal for
supremacy in the arts of peace. The
Columbian exposition is an interna-
tional pacifcation. Race, religion,
language differences are forgotten
on the Midway Plaisance, though
their strange juztaposition empha
sizes them. The race of man meets in
Chicago, each learning from the
other. Columbia's May day is hap
pc one. In honor of great discovery,
the western republic perhaps is on
the verge of greater discoveries. I'm
iversal peace, perhaps a universal
language, mayhap a universal religion,
certainly a universal consistency of
knowledge, will grow out of the

Attending "Teas" In Samoa.

A woman recently home from Samoa
tells of ''teas' in that South Sea island.
The Samoan tea is quite like any other
tea so far as it is an informal festivity
to promote sociability over asp Of some
thing" The peculiar cordial brewed by
the native women is usually the ''some-
thing" offered, drunk out of a cocoa shell
beautifully polished. At the kings pic
MICS, fetes of which the monarch is very
fond, it is imperative to drain your drink

hilarating this, in the case of weak head
ed visiting women, is sometimes disas-

''I went to tea while there" said the
woman in addition, (Which Robert Louis
Stevenson gave. He is thoroughly Sa-
moanized, and we all sat on mats on his
piazzas, he cross legged, exactly like the
natives. When I returned the hospital
ity, provided bamboo seats and little
tables, but Mr.. Stevenson would have
none of them, choosing a mat instead,
though his courtesy is such that he apol-
ogized for adhering to custom in my
house which I had not adopted. I saw
him frequently, and he seemed well, ex-

New Gun For the British.

A new wire quick firing 6-inch gun
has just been adopted for the British
naval service. It has successfully passed
exhaustive trials. It is a long gun of
about 40 calibers and weighs seven tons.
1t carries an elongated shot of 100 pounds
a distance of 1000 yards and will strike
an enemy's ship or fortifcation four
miles distant. 1t is SO rapid in it's action
that, fired with cordite at long range,
1t has three or four shots in she air at
the same time. Each weapon contains
several miles of wire, it having been
found that gun made up of this wire is
stronger than when manufactured of
homogeneous metal. Wire is also found
to stand the first shock of the elastic
force of cordlte or gunpowder better
than iron or steel, while the long bore
enables the whole of the charge to be

In a Whales Belly.

A correspondent who says that he once
spent quarters of an hour in a
whales belly thus relates the strange
adventure: The good ship Europa, on
which I sailed as cabin boy, was an
chored off the coast of Lower California.
We had taken q number of whales and
were at work trying the oil out of the
blubber cut from the whales lying along
side. To get at the fat inside the whales
we were cutting off the ends of two or
three ribs and hosting them up from the
whales body.
This left an opening large enough for
a person to crawl into the whale and
strip off the fat, which was sent on deck
in buckets. We were short handed, and
the captain told me to go down into the
whale and strip off the fat. Boylike, l
jumped at the chance.
had not been at work long before |
heard one Of the sailors sing out: Pull
the boy out of the whale. The tackle
falls are stranding.''
I had a small monkey rope tied
around my waist. The other end was
on the vessels deck. At the sailors cry
the captain jumped and grabbed it to
pull me out, but it was too late. The
tackle fall snapped in two, the ribs
closed together, and l, like Jonah of old,
was shut up in whales belly.
When the ribs came together, they
closed upon toggle or pin used on the
tackle This pin had come ont and
caught between the ribs. Through it
small hole for reefng a rope had been
bored, and solely by means of this hole,
which enabled me to breathe, my life
was saved.
All was confusion on the ships deck.
The men dared not use their sharp cut
ting spades to make another incision for
fear of injuring me. The tears We're
rolling down old Captain C-'s face.
One of the men jumped on the whale,
and [ shouted through the hole in the
toggle that was all right. Then there
was great rejoicing. The old captain
jumped on the whale himself, and with
a small sheathknife cut away at the
flesh until he came to my body.
Great care had to be exercised not to
disturb the toggle, for they knew was
breathing through it. At length the
hole was large enough for me to crawl
through, and I came on deck, sick and
weak from my experience. = Youths

Washington is far from being the first
ambassador to this country as some
papers state. Hon. Arson Burlingame
was sent by the Chinese government

While the thirteen governors are
preparing their pamphlets of induce
ments which the Southern States offer
to immigrants, we may take time to
read the story of the lynching OF the
negro, John Peterson, at Denmark,
S. G. An outrageous crime had been
committed, and John Peterson was
suspected of being guilty Of it. While
parties were out searching for him, he
came himself into Charleston and de-
hvered himself up to the authorities,
declaring that he was innocent and
was not afraid to be tried for the
crime, and gave the names of those
who knew that he was at a distance
at the time. The governor sent him
practically unprotected to Denmark
for the purpose of meeting commit
tee of the citizens who were to con-
slider the case. The victim declared
that he was not the man, and there
were witnesses present to testify to
the same effect; but the mob wanted
to kill some negro, and they conclud-
cordingly strung up and shot, and the
coroner's jury declared that he had
been killed by five Hundred citizens
who were DESTROYS of Furnishing some
body for the crime. Everybody knows
he was not guilty, and the case is SO
clear and so outrageous that from all
over the South there is going up an
expression of Indignation; and it is
especially vigorous in South Carolina,
where an admirable opportunity is
presented for his political opponents
to abuse Governor Tillman justly for
having done a cruel and foolish act.
They have been passing resolutions
that he was responsible for the lynch
ing, having delivered the negro over
''for the purpose of mock trial" We
presume there will be few immigrants
to South Carolina during the next
month, or to Mississippi, where a ne
gro was burned to death the other
day.

DEBTS, INTEREST AND PENSIONS

In 1869, four years after the close OF
the Civil War, the public debt was
S64. 43 for each man, woman and child
in the country and the annual interest
charge was 1892.
But in 1892 the debt had been re-
duced to only S12.86 per, capita and
the interest charge to only 35 cents.
All the state, country, city, town,
village and school district debts of
the entire country were in 1880, S22.4O
per capita.
But in 1890 they had been reduced
to $18.13. Meanwhile there had been
greater improvements made than
ever before.
The total of interest paid by the
United States during the last 25 years
was 50, O5S, 1865, 886.75, or an average of
So, 1859, 1O5, AT per year.
The total paid for pensions during
the same time was 81, 1867 ,919, 045.70, or
an average of $54, ZIG, 761.s3 per year.
The largest pension year was 1892
and the sum was s134, 1888, O52.79.
The highest interest year was 1868
and the sum was $40, 424, O46.1
The arrears and ANIMALS will this
year and probably next year swell
the pensions to figure somewhat in
excess of the highest annual interest
charge, but the arrears will be large
part of it. 1t is supposed they will
nearly all be paid in 1894, and then
the ANIMALS will drop below what the
annual interest charge was for many
years and will be reduced gradually
by death.
The interest payments during the
last 25 years have exceeded the pen
sion payments by more than 43 per
cent and considerable portion of the
money went out of the country, while
practically all the pension money re-
mains at home. Interest did not
bankrupt the country, neither will
pensions. Both are just debts, and if
either were more sacred than the
other, it would be the obligation to
the soldiers, for blood is better than
gold.
With the total public indebtedness
decreased by 20 per cent and the
wealth of the country increased by
more than 100 per cent during the
last twenty five years, our people as
a whole are the least taxed and the
most prosperous in the world, and
they are menaced by nothing but
Democratic promises of change.

THE DEMON OF cHokE.pAMP.

Mon Used to Believe That tho Gas in
Mines Was a Living Devil.
Thanks to men like Valentine, the
idea of the interference of Satan and
his minions with the mining industry
was gradually weakened, and tho work
ing of the deserted mines was resumed,
writes DR.. Andrew D. White, in Popu-
lar Science Monthly; yet, even at a
comparatively recent period we find it
still lingering, and among leading di-
vines in the very heart Of Protestant
Germany. In 1715 cellar-digger hay
ing been stihed nt Jena, the medical
faculty of the university decided that
the cause was not the direct action of
the devil, but deadly gas. Thereupon
Prof. Loescher, of the university of
Wittenberg, entered solemn protest,
declaring that the decision of the med
ical faculty was "only proof of the
lamentable license which has SO taken
possession Of us, and which, if we are
not earnestly on our guard, will finally
turn away from us the blessings Of
God" But denunciations of this kind
could not hold back the little army of
science. In the last half of the eigh-
teenth century Black, Priestly. and cs-
pecially Bergmann, rooted out the very
foundations OF the whole theolog;c the-
ory. and one m ore phantom which had
long troubled the earth was ut last
driven forth forever.

these Minnesota tire-water merchants are
opposed to prohibition. But they are
practical men. and they bave no keen de-
sire to do anything favorable to leglsla

anything that looks like an attempt to

Aud so 1t is not unlikely that there is
some truth in the report that these booze-
dispensing reformers of the Minnesota
border will join with the sentimental pro.
hibs against legislation for resubmisslon

that they WILL put up q good. sized roll TO
pay the expenses of those employed to
lobby against the bill.
