cabinet minister. He began his news
paper work in Washington at 500 a
week, jumped within year to $40, and
was making great deal more than that
when he was secured by the American
Press Association at a salary of $100 per
week for three letters. These letters
We're short, and the pay at the time was,
in proportion to the amount of work,
more than was ever paid to newspaper
correspondent in Washington. After
several years with the American Press
Mr.. Carpenter formed his combination
for his tour of the world. He planned
this trip himself, made his own contracts
with 15 of the biggest dailies Of the coun-
try. and started westward with letter
OF credit for $4,000 i'll his pocket. He
took his wife with him, and his trip cost
him $40 a day and lasted more than
year. 1t paid him in the neighborhood
Of $12 900, and as he carried large pho
tographic establishment with him and
secured pictures everywhere, he is max
ing money out of it still.
Returning to America, Mr.. Carpenter
again took up his quarters in Washing
ton, and he has since then been writing for
the leading papers of the country Heis
a good business man as well as good
writer, and the probability is that he
will make a great deal Of money out of
his new venture. He is his own man
ager, and he will probably triple his in
come from his talk. Nearly all the news
paper men who are in the lecture field
are making money. Bill Nye makes
something like $4,000 a year. James
Whitcomb Riley gets more every night
than he used to get in month, and Rob
ert Burdette said not long ago that he
had for years received $4,000 annually
from his lectures. Among the new men
on the lecture platform this year are Eu-
gene Field of the Chicago News and
Marion Crawford, the novelist, who ed
tied newspaper in India before he went
to writing stories.
Mr.. Carpenters idea is to bring the
news element into the lecture field. He
says the old style of lecturing is played
out, and that the people want live sub
jects and fresh matter.

MANUFACTURING DYNAMITE,
The Work Is Conducted With a Minimum
of Danger,

The Work Is Conducted With Minimum
of Danger.
twenty-five million dynamite car
tridges are made annually by three fac
tories in France. This gives but an I'M
perfect idea of the great extent to which
this concentrated. terror is used in the
worlds work, for it is made at many
other places. A necessity to miners and
excavators generally, it is also an aid to
crime and has given name-dynanit-
er-to class of revolutionists, but now
there are materials for murderous bombs
as much more destructive than dyna-
mite as it is than gunpowiler.
The pioneer dynamite factory at Isle
ton, Switzerland, is till in operation, and
skill with long experience has reduced
the danger to a minimum In large
upright revolving cylinder of lead,
cooled by series of surrounding cold
water pipes, the acids and the glycerin
are thoroughly mixed, being admitted in
due proportions by other pipes from
above. The compound liquid, yellowish
oily matter, is conveyed to the kneading
pans in another department. and there
mixed with a fine siliceous sand and
farinaceous meal, after which it is per-
feet dynamite power.
The cartridges. however, are made of
another form of it called "explosive
gum" This contains some extra in
gradients and is sort of paste. One of
the elements is gun cotton highly charged
with nitrate. The most delicate work
at Isleton is done by three women sit
ting at a table. One works a small
bronze molder-thati is, asmall cylinder
the diameter of which is that Of the in
tended cartridge. AS the compressed
powder, which, being of an oily consist
ence, now assumes comparative solidity,
Issues from this tube or cylinder in the
shape of a sausage or of macaroni, it is
cut by the woman on the left hand into
equal lengths of about three inches
Each piece is then carefully taken up by
the third woman, who wraps it in oiled
cartridge paper, which she fastens, clos
ing both ends and covering it to exclude
moisture. The tremendous little instru-
ment is now complete.

son and Hayes and two or three other
presidents, and very much moro might
be said of the sappointments-for it Is
an interesting fact that more expecta-
tiors have been frustrated and more
prophecies falsified as to this than as to
any other part of our political machin-
cry.
The student of history will tell you
how Grant had the greatest number of
cabinet members-25 in all-and John
Quincy Adams the fewest-seven; how
Jackson had the most trouble with his
cabinets and Pierce probably the least;
how the members of Polks cabinet were
singularly fortunate in their personal
and political careers and those of Tyler's
most unfortunate, so overwhelmed in
deed by calamities that grave men spoke
Of the Divine judgment on our nations
sins, and the superstitious fancied a
nemesis like that which the Greeks once
believed to pursue and destroy certain
families. Two members of this cabinet
were instantly killed by the explosion of
a cannon, and the favorite son of another
was hanged on the national brig Somers
on charge OF conspiracy to mutiny and
murder
The reader may with safety reject in
advance all prophecies of disaster, for
there are no precedents to Justify them.

son, Madison county, when he received
telegram asking his immediate pres
ence at Lincoln, where the three parties
had been in deadlock for two weeks.
He went and was astonished by being
told that the Populists had chosen him
to break the deadlock. He consented,
and four days later was elected to the
United States senate by the combined
vote of Democrats and Populists, receiv-
ing 70 votes to SO for Senator A. S. Pad
dock, the Republican. Judge Allen, as
he is best known, is 46 years old, a native
OF Madison county, O., but reared chiefly
in Iowa, a veteran Of the Union army, in
which he enlisted at 10, and gentle
man of magnificent proportions, feet
inches high and weighing 225 pounds.
He became Il Populist at the time of
the :'great slump" two years ago, hay
ing previously been a Republican, and
was by the Populists elected judge Of
the Ninth judicial district. The novelty
Of his position is further enhas a by the
fact that he is the first senator IRON Ne
braska not Republican, though the
state was admitted as such on March 1,
1867 The people of Madison, where
Judge Allen has lived since 1884, with
out distinction of party, ut once organ
lied a grand demonstration, for it is one
of the new senator's best points that he
is most popular at home.
His oldest daughter is a great favorite
in Madison society. His other three chill
dren are too young to attract much at
tention as yet, and his wife is spoken of
as a desirable addition to the senatorial
circle at Washington. The family has
done much to make the social life of
Madison pleasant, and many amusing
stories are told about the senator elect.
On one occasion, in 1889, it was thought
a good joke to elect him manager of
baseball club, and in the same spirit
leading banker named Stuart was asked
to be treasurer. They took hold with
vim, contributed literally and organized
one of the best clubs in the west, and
when they took the field in their first
game it was day of unbounded hilar-
ity in Madison.
Mr.. Allen is an enthusiastic Grand
Army man, and he is also a Scottish
Rite Mason, Odd Fellow and Knight of
Pythias.

ever more popular than he. Indeed he
is probably the most popular nobleman
in Scotland if not in all the United
Kingdom.
The earls of Aberdeen are also Wis
counts of Formartin and barons of Had
do, Methlic, Jarvis and Kellie in the
Scotch 'peerage. and Viscounts Gordon
in the British peerage, as the family is
branch Of the old Scotch Gordons. The
first ennobled was Sir John Gordon Of
Haddo i'll t642, made a baron by Charles
Ifor heroic services. George Hamilton
Gordon, the fourth earl, who died in
1860 was a noted statesman and diplo-
mat, organizer of the noted Aberdeen
ministry. The fifth earl was drowned in
1870, and the present is the sixth. His
wife, who will be the leading lady of
Canada, is noted for her talents and lib
eral sentiments. In an address last May
before the Woman's federation she said:
"Mr. Gladstone has done much to
mitigate the hatred of Irish-Americans
for England, but the completion of his
work is necessary to remove this great
cause Of friction between the United
States and England. We Liberals dream
it is only dream, to be sure, yet still
not unworthy of the dreaming-of the
time when the consequences of Great
Britain's folly of 1776 shall be obliterated
by her from history, when Great Britain
and America will stand shoulder to
shoulder as Gods chosen servants in the
cause of humanity"
She founded an Irish Industrial associ-
alton and visited the United States in
aid of it something over year ago. She
is in charge of the Irish exhibit at the
Chicago Worlds fair.

A. Well That Climbs,

There is said to be remarkable well
at Olympia, Wash. The water in this
well is only 10 feet deep and has been
that same depth for years. Now, how
ever, this well is gradually but surely
rising to the surface of the earth. For
some time the brick wall has been pro-
truding through the ground, until now
it sticks up in the air like funnel and
is fully 15 feet high. The bricks that
form the wall are still intact, and, what
is more remarkable, it has been found
that the bottom of the well is also COM
ing up with the wall.

Oarmaux and Homestead.

At about the sA4sStime these two in
dustrial communities were enduring the
agonies of industrial warfare in the form
of a strike. Carmaux is a coal mining
village Of the department Of Tarn, IN the
north Of France. Two of the principal
members of the syndicate which owned
the mines were Baron de Reille and Mar
quis de Solages, both Of them members
of the French chambers for the depart
ment of Tarn. In the spring elections,
the socialists at Carmaux gained COM
plete triumph, filing most Of the
municipal Offices, including councllmen,
with their own men. The councilmen
having the right to choose the mayor
chose one of their own men, socialist,
M. Calvignac, whU was an employe Of
the coal syndicate. AT that time he held
ticket of leave upon the certificate Of a
physician, that he needed few weeks
rest; this entitled him to take up work
again upon the expiration Of the rest
period. The mine syndicate saw with
disgust their puppets, whom they had
put up for Office, defeated by their own
workmen. To punish their political
audacity," as the phrase was, they-con-
trary to the established custom in such
cases-immediatsly struck the name Of

leaving the Indian producer the same
net result.
This matter was referred to at length
in q letter from Labor Commissioner
Betton, published in recent issue Of the
Champion. The reduction referred to in
the above extract, amounts to SO on
every 100 bushels of wheat sold in Brit
ish markets. It is not many weeks since
there appeared in the daily reports OF
American markets this significant item:
1t is figured that the decline in silver
during the last year Q99l) was equal to q
bonus Of 16 cents per bushel on wheat to
importers from India.
According to a writer in the New York
Tribune the general level Of prices fell
16 per cent. last year. The October
number of the Bankers Magazine says:
at cannot be denied that the low price
Of silver bullion is a very powerful factor
in depressing the worlds trade" That
was confession wrung from one of the
gold organs. The worlds product Of
wheat this year is but little short Of
600,000000 bushels. A loss of 16 cents
bushel means $96,OOO,OOO kept out Of
the pockets Of the worlds wheat pro-
ducers. Does not that mean a great
deal to the farmers Of Kansas? The
wheat product Of this state this year was,
in round numbers, 100000 bushels.
Suppose the surplus is 100000; and a
loss Of 16 cents q bushel is keeping
$8,O00,OO0 out Of the pockets Of the farm
ers who raise wheat in Kansas.
But that is not the worst Of it. There
is disposition on the part Of the press
of the entire country to join in with the
British interests in fighting silver. Every
honest man wants honest money, but
he wants that money upon basis
suitable to the needs of the millions o.
producers and wage e8rners and MOI
upon the basis suited to the necessities
of the millionsires who make interest,"
their sole income. The need Of the houl
is public sentiment demanding that
the standard Of American gold and silver
coins shall be made in the interest Of the
American people. Until this is done
there will be no cessation Of the de-
mands of the people, and if those now ir
power do not listen to their cry they will
elect those who will not only listen but
act. America alone can fix the intrinsic
value Of an American dollar, gold oI
silver.-Atchison Champion, December
