DYNAMITE In COFFEE.
A MYSTERIO CASE THAT rs OF
INTEREST TO OUR PEOPLE
New York Fol CO Investigatins-An An In
fernai Machine That Looked Liko a
Mexican Cheese.

A very mysterious case, of interestto the
people of this city, is being investigated
by the police of New York. On the 10Th
OF last month Fraser Brothers, the well
known coffee dealers at 297 Weybosset
street, Providence, received from John
Donahue & Son, New York, eleven bags OF
Mexican coffee. One bag of the coffee was
roasted, but it had such a rank smell that
1t was condemned. The entire consign-
ment was shipped back to that city.
An employe ~. Donahue investigated
the coffee, and in one OF the bags
Found a Dynamite romb.
1t looked somewhat like a sausage, and
policeman who saw it declared that it
was Mexican cheese. 1t was taken to
police headquarters and placed in the
hands of Captain Devery. 1t
was then turned over TO a
chemist named Klipstein, and he
unhesitatingly pronounced it dynamite
cartridge. 1t consisted of piece of mus
lin about six inches square and was tied
with black string. Inside was cylin-
der four inches long and one inch in di-
ameter, wrapped in oiled paper, on which
were two circular stamps, the trade mark
of the Mexican branch of Alfred Noble,
dynamite maker. The stamps bore the
words " Dinamita Nobel"
The sntstancs of the Cylinder
was fibrous-looking material, sulphur
yellow in color, fine TO the touch, but
gritty. 1t was offensive to the smell and
had sweetish taste. In the bag was a
small rope of insulated wires about six
inches long, the wires so twisted that
a -. a.. oh0 of
inch i'm diameter. There were two
copper cylinders loose in the bag, but
they were empty. The cylinders were
closed at one end, and were not unlike the
caps which hold Illuminating powder with
which dynamite is usually exploded, ex-
cept that they were OF heavier metal than
is usually used for that purpose.
The bag also contained several leaves
from Spanish book, entitled, "The error
of our administration in not putting
masters of arts under the system of politi-
cal regulations"
Explosions on n Vessel.
The original consigners of the coffee
were Wilson & Co., and the stuff came
from Oaxaca, Mexico, ,alast May. 1t was
shipped on the steamship City of Wash
ington OF the Ward line. This
vessel left New York last Wednesday,
The steamship City of Alexandria OF the
same line was burned at sea of Cojman,
near Havana, on Nov. I. The fire began
with an explosion. She was on her return
voyage from MatanZas, Cuba, where she
had taken on, with other cargo, 00punch-
cons Of rum. This rum caught fire and
blowing off the matches, ssoon filled the
vessel with flames While the crew were
fighting the fire two more explosions took
place in the hold.
The whole matter is very mysterious,
and will be thoroughly sifted ss soon as
possible.

ing you with their racket. OF course
you are safe from their missiles down
here"
"Yes, we are, but you and your SOL
diers, Mr.. Drumfnondi Every shot
made me fear you were HIT" cries
poor little Ruth, her eyes filling, her
lips quivering. Then, just as Durm-
mond is holding forth hand, perhaps
1t is an arm, too, she points up to the
rock above where Walsh is evidently
exercised about something. He has
dropped his gun, picked up the glasses
and is gazing down the range to the
south.

indicate that the total registration of the

the shutting down of mills and other es-

An Ainent-Minde Man.

Johns Hopkins University still Cos
sips Of Prof Sylvester, the marvellous
mathematician who came over from
England to teach the science in which
all his interests centcred. His mind
was ever occupied with mathematical
problems, and all sorts of things hap
pened to him on the streets Of Balti-
more. The mosL amusing episode Of
his life on this side, however, grew
out Of voyage to Europe. While
abroad he made some highly impor-
tant calculations, but on reaching
Baltimore he found that the paper on
which he figured was missing. So
important were the calculations that
he took a steamer back to England In
order to look up the papers. He did
not find them, and started back to
the United States deeply disappoint-
ed; but during the voyage he acct
dentally discovered, in a pocket of the
overcoat he had worn on the previous
voyage, the very thing he was in
search Of.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
g Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; etfectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

LARGE AND SMALL FARMS.

Many persons could better their finan.
cial condition and relieve themselves
from much worry and vexation if they
would put the brains, labor and manure
on five acres that they now distribute
OYER forty. 1t is not true, however,
that every farmer can do better on a
small farm than on large one. 1t re-
quires different order of intellect, and
in some ways larger intellect, to sue
coed with the small farm. Any success
full gardener knows that it requires more
brains to market his crops probably than
it does to raise them. In other words,
the small farmer, if he expects profitable
returns for his work, must have the
qualities of successful merchant aud a
skillful farmer.-Chicago Times.

has his own special mixture, and very
general one consists in red top and Ken
lucky blue grass, in equal proportions,
with four or five pounds of white clover
to the bushel. The seed is sown broad
cast, when there is no wind, and lightly
rolled in. This IN brief is the usual
plan.
A method brought to notice by J. B.
Olcott, of the Connecticut Experiment
Station, and described and discussed at
the last annual session of the New Jersey
State horticultural Society, is as follows:
Prepare the ground the same as described
for seeding down. Then a selected sod
of fine variety of Rhode Island Bent
grass is taken and divided into single
plants of one or two spears and these are
in rows nine inches apart and also nine
inches between the rows, thus requiring
sixteen plants to the square yard. These
plants are pressed firmly into the soil and
afterwards the whole surface rolled with
= hard roller. The after care consists in
keeping out every weed and plants of
white clover, etc.
In three or four months, it is claimed,
the ground will be entirely covered with
short, thick moss Of grass. During th'
summer an application of from 200 tc
400 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre
applied in from three to four sowings
will give the plants fresh start and caus
them to assume bright green hue.
these directions are carefully carried out
there will be no need of weedy lawns
and the general complaint that grass
cannot be made to grow under shade
trees according to the advocates for this
method. 1t must be explained thai
Rhode Island Bent grass as usually seer
has long runners with the plants fal
apart, somewhat like the strawberry run
ners, while in the peculiar variety in
question the plants cover the entire run
ners and show no naked stems. The sea
son for planting by this method may b'
either from September to November, OF
| from the last of March to the first o.
June.-New York World.
