THE OMISH MENNONITES.
A Peculiar People in Illinois, Who Al
ways Dress in Black

In the township of Lowe, MOultrie
county, ILL.,, there reside class of
people Who while they do not in the
usual transaction of business differ
from other people, in many respects
are so different from the run of the
human family that they attract much
attention, more particularly from those
who do not see them daily.
The settlement consists of $50 or
more men, women and children, and
from one of their number David
Mast-it is learned that this is the only
body of this class of people-Omlsh
Mennonites--ia this State. The num-
Der in this settlement was formerly
small and originally came from Penn
sylvania. They are of German descent,
and among themselves talk sort OF
German dialect of Pennsylvania Dutch.
The Omish Mennonite has for more
than a century been fixture in Penn
sylvania. But there he has not SO
closely remained true to the established
customs of his sect as have the mem
bers of the Illinois colony. The latter,
the entire $50 Of them, wear nothing
in the shape of outer clothing that is
not in color black, including among the
men broad brimmed black hats and
among the women plain black calico
dresses and black Shaker bOhnets.
They are all American born, have
two churches in the community and
educate their children in the public
schools of the village of Arthur and
the township in which they live. The
settlement is kept free from intrusion
of blood other than that of the fore
fathers, because no member of any
family is permitted to unite in mar
rage with any one outside the church
to which all belong.-St. Louis Re

A NAVAL BATTLE GROUND.
Buoys to Mark the Positions OF the
Ships in the Mobile Struggle.

The greatest naval battle since
Nelson's time was that of Mobile Bay
1t has been proposed that the positions
of the ships engaged should be marked
with buoys, and this will doubtless be
done before long The bay is a great
cemetery Sunk in sixty feet of water
is the Union monitor in which brave
Captain Craven went down, a hole be
ing knocked out of her bottom by a
torpedo. A vessel Of that kind does
not sink slowly like craft that is made
of wood. Being a mass Of iron, the
moment the water flowed into her she
went to the bottom as a stone would.
The only persons who had a chance
to escape were her commander and the
pilot, be cause they were in the turret.
There was time for but one of them to
get out by means of the ladder The
captain stood aside, saying, "After you,
pilot and the latter saved his own life,
while the noble Craven sank with his
crew in the huge metal coffin. Some
years ago an attempt was made to raise
the monitor, with its freight of dead
heroes, but such a howl arose against
the "desecration" that it was abandoned

PROPELLED BY STORED STEAM.
A Test Made OF the Kinetic Motor on
a Chicago Car.

People on West Lake street yester
day afternoon saw a pecullar-looklng
street car going rapidly over the tracks
as if propelled by magic where the
jngle-jlrgle street-car horses have
trotted for many years. This new car
was moved by steam, but there was no
noise of steam exhaust and no smoke
or dust from a black smokestack. 1t
is a recent addition to the many motors
constructed for street railroad use, and
is known as the Kinetlc motor.
The Kinetic motor is constructed on
the storage steam plan. 1t IS stored
with steam and hot water at head
quarters sufficient to run the motor
and trailer cars twenty miles. The
steam is used over and over again, not
escaping through an exhaust, but being
re enforced by a small fire of anthracite
coal and the hot water the motor car.

HE MIGHT HAVE FALLEN.
A Story of the Presidents Accident on
the Oneida

New YORK, July Io.-The Mail and
Express says: Reports were current
down town to-day that Mr. Clevels nd's
indispostion, while it may be partly
due to rheumatism, as stated in yester
days dispatches from Buzzard's Bay, is
also partly, at least, caused by an
accident while on Mr. Benedict's yacht,
the Oneida. 4 welLknown Wall street
man, who should be thoroughly in
formed regarding Mr.. Cleveland's pres
ent condition, said to reporter: "The
story came to me this morning that on
the second or third day the yacht was
out from New York Mr. Cleveland had
left the dining cabin and unfortunately
fell up or down the companionway
His head came in contact with the
steps and with the brass trimmings
am told that he received two or three
ugly Commissions a little above the
temples, and that his face was 50 badly
scraped in several places as to dis
figure it.
"Mr Cleveland is understood to
have been undergoing a very strict diet
for the purpose of reducing his flesh.
There is reason to believe that he
determined to abandon this regime and
give his appetite full swing, at least dur.
ing the few days he expected to be on
the yacht The conditions Of the
Oneida are such that nearly, if not
quite, as elaborate a dinner can be
served on board as in any hotel in
New York"

But the purest Norwegian

same. 1t is great blood en-

The Chrysa millennium.

FROM the fhiadelIhia Times.
Three centuries more than 2eo0 years asa
ConfuciGs, the sage detached his eyes from
his sacred writings. and beholding a chrys-
anthemum burst into sudden flower melted
his celestial soul in a glow of admiration,
writing down that future ages might read:
THE chrysanthemum has its yellow glory"
That feeling Of respect akin to reverence
which is challenged into being by a con-
temptation of the survival of what is fittest
of past great nations must pe-meate our
admiration for this floral herald of the ages
when we consider that 1890 years before
Columbus sailed out of the little port OF
Palos cultivators Of the chrysanthemum
were emblazoning their name in golden
letters of fame through the far east, and
history recounts that when one of these
Tao-Ywan-Ming, was gathered to his faith
ers, as an everlasting memorial to his sue
cess the city of his residence was there
after known as Chu-hrien, Chrysanthemum
City.
IN Japan the flower is Of more recent intro
duction, but 200 years ago the chrysanthe-
mum had already established itself as q
favorlte motif In Japanese aria strong-
hold in decorative painting IL has never
rellnquished In 1S6 A ID. the swords OF
the great Mikado were ornamented with
floral devices of the chrysanthemum.
Fame, too often, is short lived. but q
browning test of chrysanthemum popularity
is, that while centuries have been garnered
from the harvest fields of time, the flower
holds as lofty place in the esteem Of the
Chinese and Japanese today as of old. In
the Celestial empire II a host bids his
friends TO a feast "he who succeeds in pro-
ducing the largest flower is considered as
comforting the greatest honor on his
guests" while across Tung Hal in the
Flowery Land, a few petals floating in a
cup of saki served to each banQueter IS a
talisman against bad luck"
When a girl baby is born under Japanese
skies the young mother. her dark -fringed
almond eyes lingering tenderly on the face
of her little one, whispers softly, "O-Kiku-
San, My crysanthemum.' Sir Edwin
Arnold, the apostle of the japanese, places
the crown of the charm OF Japan in its wo-
men. and some of the most beautiful most
gracious, most courteous Of the sex answer
to the name OF Miss Chrysanthemum
The chrysanthemum has long enjoyed the
honor of being the Mikado's flower All IN
and down the Island empire the land Is
aglow with its beauty, but the choicest and
rarest varieties grow in the imperial gar
dens at Tokyo.
