War Talk In EurODe.

The war talk in Paris continues, ex-
cept, of course, in the official circle.
Men as moderate and practical as Rob-
ert Mitchell do not hesitate to express
the opinion over their signatures that
the peace of Europe is not worth sous.
81 regard war as inevitable" Mr..
Mitchell writes. 81 believe it is near at
hand. 1t will break out unexpectedly
and perhaps against the wish of those
who brought it about"
Mr.. Mitchell thinks the responsibility
will most likely devolve on Italy. It is
worth noting that Germany is keeping
remarkably cool in the midst of this san
culinary talk. Its significance is fully
appreciated by the Berlin press, but
there is little in the line of angry re.
tort. The st. Petersburg newspapers also
faithfully persist in emphasizing the pa,
cifc nature of the visit of the Russian
fleet and deny perhaps a little toe
strongly any warlike Specification. New

ANARCHIST PALlAS.
The Executed Spanish Bomb Thrower Was
Undoubtedly Fanatic.

The Executed Spanish Bomb ThrOwer Was
Undoubtedly Fanatic.
The world was astounded on Sept. %
last at the news that daring attempt
had been made on the life of Marshal de
Campos while reviewing the troops at
Barcelona. The assassin was Pauline
Pallas, who paid the penalty of his crime
a few days ago. He was executed with
his back to the firing party. Pallas seems
to have been a peculiar individual. He
was a quiet young man of the blond
type, about 30 years of age, married
and the father of three children. He
was born at Cambrils. in the province OF
Tarragona. Some years ago he emf
grated to Argentine and then went to
Brazil. He returned to Spain and set
tied down in Barcelona at the hosiery
business, working at home.
After close investigation by the police
it seems that Pallas was not affiliated
with any anarchist or revolutionary So
ciety. He was always very reserved
seldom visited anybody and had no call
ers. He was undoubtedly fanatic. He
displayed remarkable calmness from the
moment of his arrest till his death, but
always aired his ultra anarchistic the
cries and regretted he did not kill the
marshal.
The day of his attempt he left his
home, telling his wife he would not re-
turn till evening. He took dinner in a
wine shop in low quarter of the town.
Then he went to Mount Monjuich, where
his bombs were concealed among the
rocks, came back to the town, took a
position near the troops and hurled his
bombs at Marshal de Campos while the
soldiers were passing the veteran COM
mander. He was seized and confessed
that he was the culprit. General Cos
tellri was wounded, and a civil guard
mortally injured. A number of spec
tators were more or less hurt by the fly
ing fragments of the projectiles.-

A PECULIAR PHENOMENON.
A Navigable River Blown Dry and steam
boats Left III Ugh and Dry.

boats Lett lSn Try
One of the most peculiar phenomena
ever seen in this part of the country was
witnessed by people in the Maumee val
ley this morning. The terrific gale OF
last night blew the river dry. From the
rapids at Waterville, % miles above the
city, to the Lake Shore bridge, just above
the harbor, people walked across the
bottom as on dry land. The cause was
the direction from which the wind came
the southwest. 1t is not uncommon
for the water to drop four to eight feet
when the wind blows toward the lake,
but never before has it blown so hard
that the river bottom became visible.
There were over 20 feet of water in the
harbor yesterday. Many large vessels
were tied up at the wharves, and soon
after the water began running out they
rested upon their keels. The steamer
G. B. Wallace was making her regular
trip up stream last evening to Perrys-
burg, when she was caught half way to
Perrysburg and stuck in the mud.
Just above Perrysburg is a series of
rapids. The river is two miles wide and
filled with limestone islands. This small
archipelago was drained as dry as
mountain side. In the pools thousands
of fish of every kind known to the lakes,
and many which no one in this part OF
the country ever saw before, were caught,
When the country people looked out
this morning, they were astounded. but
they readily grasped the situation and
commenced to fill barrels, washtubs and
everything that would hold them with
fish. In the rapids many interesting
articles which had got into the river
above were found. About noon the
wind Gained down, and the water rolled
back, much like an ocean tide. This
evening it is as deep as usual. and the
largest steamers on the lakes are going
back and forth.-Toledo Special to Chi
cago Herald.

A SISTERS SACRIFICE.

She Submits to Disagreement and Torture
to Save Her Brothers. Life.
One of the most remarkable and deli
cate operations in the line of what is
known as skin grating was performed
at the city hospital Saturday morning
by DIR. Charles r. Barber and several OF
the house surgeons. A little over two
weeks ago Arthur Wheeler, aged 8 years,
living at "a Herman street, was playing
near his house with some other children.
They started bonfire of dead leaves.
While Arthur was running about the
flames, he stumbled and fell into the fire.
His coat caught fire, and before the
flames could be extinguished his entire
breast. abdomen and one side were fright
fully burned. The boy has been ever
since the accident in precarious condl-
ton, the burns being so extensive that
no new skin could form.
It was at last decided that the only
thing that could save the little sufferers
life was to ingraft the skin of some
healthy person on the burned parts, and
efforts were made to secure some one to
consent to such an operation. 1t was
suggested at last that Miss Minnie
Wheeler, the 17-year-old sister of the boy,
would be just the subject. Miss Wheel
er naturally demurred at first to such
proposition, but finally consented when
she was convinced that her brothers life
was at stake.
Saturday morning Miss Wheeler and
her little brother were taken to the City
hospital-that being considered better
place than the home of the parents-and
the operation was performed. Miss
Wheeler was placed under the influence
of ether, and strips of skin from both
thighs and one of the hips were shaved
off with sharp razors and transferred to
the body of the little brother. A slight
idea of the operation may be gained
when it is stated that enough of the cpl
dermis to cover two square feet of the
burned boys body was removed from
the young woman.
One piece of skin that was removed
extended from just above the knee fully
nine inches along the thigh. The girls
limbs were swathed in bandages, and she
was taken home in an ambulance, the
boy remaining in the hospital. 1t is ex-
pected that a new cuticle will have put
in an appearance inside of 10 days, and
that Miss Wheeler will have entirely re-
covered before the 1st of November.
Nothing can be determined as to the
success of grating the skin on Arthur
Wheeler for 10 days to come, but it is
believed that the operation will result in
saving the boys life.-Rochester Demo

CUPID IN A GRAPE BASKET.

How a Pretty and Romantic Pennsylvania
Girl Found a Husband.
A fair daughter of this town has just
closed up a little romance and is now
enjoying her honeymoon in New York
city. Miss Mildred Althoff, who was
formerly an accountant in large manu-
featuring plant here, went up to Port
land, N. Y, this summer to spend her
vacation as a grape picker in big vine
yard. She is pretty girl and fond Of
romance, so she penned this note and
tucked it in basket of grapes:
am employed as grape picker by Frank
j. Lyle in his vineyards between Dunkirk
and Brocton in the town of Portland. My
home is at Williamsport, Pa, where am en-
ployed regularly as an accountant in a large
manufacturing concern of that city. am an
orphan, but am well connected, having two
brothers at the head of mines in Colorado and
an uncle who is president of bank in Ne
braska. Next year l shall again work in the
vineyards near Brocton, merely for recreation
and change of air, and if this note should
fall into the hands of young man who is de-
srous of making the acquaintance of a re-
spectacle grape picker l would like to hear
from him.
The basket of grapes containing this
letter fell into the hands of George P.
Newcomb, a young man employed as
salesman for a New York clothing con-
Germ, and who at the time the basket of
fruit was received was the guest of his
parents, who reside about four miles
from Clean.
He came here, but could not find the
pretty grape gatherer, so when his vaca-
ton arrived he went to Lytle's vine
yard. He there met Miss Althoff. The
wooing lasted three weeks, and last
Thursday they were married. Williams

A Living Mans Monument Disfigured.

Some rascally iconoclast has disfg-
ured the famous statue of Andrew J
Libby in the Oakland cemetery by break
ing off the nose. Mr.. Libby is still in
the fiesh-indeed, is very much so-and
there would be another nasal breakage
if he could lay hold of the mischief doer.
Mr.. Libby, a wealthy farmer, well
known to the state fair goers, carried
out an eccentric idea in having this
duplicate of himself erected in the fami-
ly lot several years ago at an expense
of $4,000 and has always been as much
attached to it as if it were sort of twin
brother. Lewiston Journal.

Extinction of the Alligator.

The report comes again from Florida
that the alligator is threatened with
speedy determination. 1t is estimated
that over 100000 of them have been
killed in the last dozen years or SO. The
alligator grows slowly, but he grows as
long as he lives, and it is said that a 10
footer is at least rs years old. If let
alone, their average life is longer than

when they discovered the flames, feared

and four head of cattle. The daring
girl, however, dashed into the burning

and was burned on the hands and face,
though not seriously. She was greatly
cheered by the men who watched the
brave deed. The barn was DESTROYED -

The other class is content TO sit down

from the efforts Of the live, progressive
class, but never cent will they eoutrib-

the best corner lots, and grndgingly pay
their taxes on an assessment of onssthirtl

street improvements, the building of side

There is a way to get tat these fellows,
and we have waited patiently for the

which will empower the city council IL

them made at the expense of the adj acenl
