other Daughter.
The Child Was Born at Noon.And This is
Little Ruth's Second Birthday.
Mother and child Doing
Well.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1o.-AIrs. Cleve-
land gave birth to a fine girl baby ut
IL Saturday.
The birth of n baby in the white
house was of curse an event in which
more than usual interest was felt. In
an incredibly short space of time the
news was known in congress and wa
spread through all the departments.
The imminence of the important event
was made known early in the day by
the issue of an order countermanding
the usual Saturday concert by the Ma
rine band in the white house grounds.
DIR. Bryant, who accompanied the pr s.
ident and Mrs. Cleveland back from
Gray Gables and took up his quarters
in the white house, was the attending
physician. The latest information OBJ
tainnble is hat Mrs. Cleveland and her
latest daughter were both doing well.
The president during the morning
attended as closely as usual to his du-
ties. He signed two bills passed by
congress in connection with the cele-
bration of the Tooth anniversary of the
capitol on the 18th inst, and gave
uH iliiol tIiat IEtSptIoll w IGlllCt
Yorihito komntsu, grand nephew
of the lnilsado of Japan, who
is travelling ~incognito in this country.
The prince was accompanied to the
white house by Secretary Gresham, the
Japanese minister, some attaches of
the Japanese legation and by his tray
cling companion, Prince NJ. S. Naga-
sikh. minister of ceremonies of the mi
kado's household.
The closest ceticence was maintained
at the white house as to the event. The
first statement given ont was that the
event took place at p. IN. Later it
was permitted to be known hat the
event occurred exactly Mt noon.
The president was informed of
the event by DIR. Bryant, but it
is said did not mention it to Private
Secretary Thurber until 3 p. II. In
the meantime the news had become
known outside, the first public mention
being made of it in the war depart
ment. Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's
mother, is on her way to the city, but
has not yet arrived.
The occurrence will give a double
birthday to celebrate in the Cleveland
household, us little Ruth was 2 years
old Saturday.
The president absented himself from
his office shortly before 10 o'clock and
remained a~nxiously awaiting II mes
sage. When informed by DR.. Bryant
and the professional nurse of Mrs.
Cleveland's safety he at once went to
his wifc's chamber and two hours aft
erwards quietly re-entered his office
and authorized Mr.. Thurber to confirm
the rumor which by this time was run
ming all over the city.
The baby is bright eyed, healthy
looking young lady. She has not been
weighed, but is said to be of good size.
This is the first child born to a presi-
dent in the white house, though there
have been other births in the executive
mansion,

Los ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 9.-Judgc
Ross, of the United States district
court, announced that the statement of

for the deportation of Cinnamon who

That's what the Census how - ~
Tins sons RsDsAtsd.

1850 4.H55Ta Nf3aH -r
According to the last census reports
there are over 100000 bachelors in
the United States. by which y meant
there are 5000, 600 men over thirty
years old who have new peen mar
ried.
This fact, of course, furnishes q vsry
handy text for all sorts OF comment
and suggestion. Now and then the
scheme Is advocated of making neglect
OF matrimony a statutory onense.
either by way of tax discrimination in
favor Of married parties or otherwise.
In earlier times marriage was COM
pulsory. The great world-conquerors
wanted material for their armies. and
so heavy penalties were laid on q neg
lect to marry.
One interesting question which the
census figures do not answer Is thiss
.How mdny of these 10000 Q bach
clors are single from choice rather
than necessityp"
The factors affecting the ability to
support a wife have been very much
changed under the newer industrial
and commercial condition. So great
has become tho competition for places
among the higher pursuits, and SO
largely have women come to fill posi-
tions once exclusively occupied by
men, that tho bureaus of Industrial
statistics show a larger and larger
percentage of men in these pursuits
whose incomes, from their point Of
Wow, will not permit them to marry.
1t is easy to scold the young men in
this matter-quite rs easy to find fault
with tho young women who are look-
ing out for husbands with plenty Of
ready money. But there is nothing.
in the published census figures regards
ing the average earnings of certain,
classes of workers which at all war;
rants the conclusion that the majority
of these 5000, 900 unmarried men re.
main single through willfnlness rather
than what they deem necessity.-Bos.

Slaves That Do Not Work.

Englishmen are apt to confound At
rican slavery with the forms of slavery
known to European nations. One OF
the curiositles of domestic slavery in
darkest Africa pointed out by the
ST. James's Gazette is that, while the
native slave-ownor can, by custom,
compel his slaves 10 fight for him, and
possesses other extensive powers over
them, he can not illegally" compel his
slaves to work for him.
On the Congo and its afluents native
quot Mahometan) slave-owners pay
wages TO their own slaves whenever
the latter are required to transport
ivory and produce to the coast. Even
1ippoo lib pays his numerous slave
soldiers under such peaceful circum-
stance. The explanation of this anon
ally seems to be that wal is n far more
ancient and primitive institution than
labor.
When domestic slavery was "first
introduced" into Africa regular labor
was unknown; the right TO monopo-
lie the slaves's labor was therefore
never Incorporated among the slave
holders privileges and prerogatives.
1t is white men who have really intro
duced and acclimatizcd the idea of
work or labor" in Africa.
When Pharaoh compelled the chill.
dren of Israel to work" for him he

ZIONIST by Egyptian conservatives.

For the last lifty-two years there ha.

gathered eight living children, thirty

of the name of Columbus becoming cx.

The name of this venerable descend,

be 81 on the 18th OF August next.
There is no doubt about his are or

The essential pivot of the case now is
the Paris fund. This was down for

ARKANSAS Cry, Kas., Sept. Cor
respondents of seventeen dailies visited
the camps of the boomers along the
Walnut and Arkansas rivers. They
found some 1900 families encamped
there. As n rule their wagons are new,
horses fat and their tents are carpeted
and well furnished. denoting %indcpend-
ence and some degree of culture.
Horses were on the ace course near
the camps, being exercised for the great
race. The scene was all the more in
teresting and exciting because OF the
appearance on the track of several wo-
nen competing with the men.
The railroads centering here will
place their empty box cars at the dis
posal of homeseekers for lodging pur.
poses free of charge, should hotel and
lodging house accommodations prove
inadequate for the crowd.
1T is reported that Judge Womack of
the interior department., who has the
matter in charge, will locate five reg
istry booths in this city for the better
accommodation of those who do not
wish to break camp before the day of
opening. This is made necessary by
the absence of Il water supply
on the line where the booths
are located. The resident com
mittee appointed by the board of
trade to provide camping grounds and
needed accommodations for the settlers
are on duly from morning until sun
down. 1t is believed that Bushyhead
has been assembling, as he is now said
to be organizing a town site company
on his allotment at Kildare. He is Of

to go into business there. 1t is gener.
ally thought that the Cherokees have
secured allotments at all the important
town sites in the strip. They will en-
deavor to get business men into their
towns by urging that they can give
them deeds for property without de-
lays. The continuation of allotments
by the interior department is %axiously
awaited, as it will determine the fate
Of many a town site scheme.

SAVINGS BALLOON TRIP.
Will Attempt to Co From Paris to Russi,
Without Aligtting.

PARIS, Sept. I'm. de Savine, the
famous aeronaut, is making preparn
tions for a voyage from the Champs de
Mars, in this city, to Russia without
making Il single descent to the earth
during the trip. The project is excit
ing great interest, for if his apparatus,
stands this severe test it will then per
haps be possible to explore the polar
regions by balloon. NJ. Savine recog.
nizes that the motive power to be de.
rived from screws, side wheels and sim.
liar devices is insufficient for the pur.
poses of aerial navigation and he has
accordingly constructed his mir ship
with a view to taking advantage of the
air currents after the fashion of a sail
ing vessel. He will use an ordinary
gas balloon, coupled underneath to u
montgolfier. The balloon is the larg-
est now in the French capital, and has
a steel rope forty metres long, to tho
end OF which is attached 81 1000 cubic
metre montgoltier, furnished with a
car and heating apparatus. The exact
date when Savine will embark on his
perilous trip has not yet been definitely
announced. but it will be made the oc-
casion for n great demonstration.

rlMeEa 4 THOUSAND YEARS OLD.
soAs Australian Woods Seem Able to
Resist Decay indefinitely.

Experts seem to be divided as to
which of the two hard woods-iarrali
and karri-of western Australia is the
moro durable.
Jarrah wood piles two feet two
years ago at the Largs bay pier, were
found, on examination, to be as sound
as the day they were put in.
Some specimens of karri wood taken
from n fence were recently sem to
London, and. though tho wood had
been under ground for twenty-five
years, it was perfectly sound. A spec
linen of jarrah wood under similar cir
cnmstances showed serious decay.
Timber of the tamarisk or shittfm
wood has been found perfectly sound
in tho ancient temples of Egypt in
connection with stonework which is
known to be at least 4 1000 years old.
In some tests made with small
squares of various woods buried one
inch in the ground the following re-
suits were obtained: Birch and aspen
decayed in three years; willow and
horse-chasthut in four years; maple
and red beech in five years; elm, ash,
hornbeam, and Lombardy poplar in
seven years; oak, Scotch Fir, Wey-
mouth pine, and silver tir decaved to
a depth of half an inch in seven YEARS.;
larch, juniper and arbor vitm were un-
injured at the expiration of the seven
years.
The redwood of California has the
quality of being nearly fire proof. The
root OF the brier is the only wood
which does not burn when exposed to
fire.
Cocus wood is the hardest known
wood; oak is the strongest. The
heaviest British wood is that of the
box tree, which sinks in water. Horn
beam is the strongest and toughest
wood for mechanical use.
The strongest American wood is the
nutmeg hickory; the most elastic, the
lamar oak; the heaviest, the blue
wood of Texas.
IN situations SO free from moisture
that we may practically call them dry
the durability OF timber is almost UNI
limited. Tho roof OF Westminster hall
Is more than 450 years old. In Ster-
ling castle are carvings in oak we'll
preserved over 300 years of age. Scotch
Fir has been found in good condition
after a known use of 800 years, and
the trusses of the roof of the basilica
OF st. Paul, Rome, were sound and
good after 1000 years of service.
Wood constantly wet in fresh water
is quite as durable. Piles were dug
from the foundations of the old Savoy
palace in n perfectly sound state after
having been down $50 years. The
piles of old London bridge were found
sound and perfect 800 years after they
zero driven.
