Improvements to the Western Hos
pital for the Insane, at Fort Stella
COON, will increase its capacity to
about 600 patients. There are now
395 patients, but the roll OF attendants
brings the whole number of people in
the institution up to $50. 1t has its
own laundry, its own bakery, butcher
shop, blacksmith shop, drug store
store, and other business houses, and
is situated in the midst of a 600 acre
tract OF land. The soil is not, however
very productive, still that Immediately
surrounding the hospital is made to
"blOom and blossom as the rose."

Finds Himself Famous.

1t j. said that Some people are
horn great, while others have greatness
thrust upon them 1t is probably to
the latter class that Col. Lcavcnworth
belongs, for he certainly made 10
effort To place the chap,et on his own
brow. 1t has lately been revealed
that he Is the identical individual who
saved a Great Northern train from
beng dashed over a gorge, with the
probability oi 4 frightful loss OF life, as
the train consisted OF a sleeper and two
coaches besides the usual complement
81 mail and express cars, with their
cml luyc>. 1t was on June 81 that
the seattle train, behind time, was
running at extra speed, down the
heavy grade of Wenatche canyon, that
the engineer saw on the track man
making frantic endeavors to stop the
train. The air-brakes were applied
and the heavy train was checked with
a. much expedition as possible, and
not too soon, for within the length OF
4 couple OF cars, laid a large tree.
which had just fallen across the track.
The train was on hillside, and had
the warning not been given there is
nu duuht but that every Car with its
passengers would have been thrown
down the gulch and into the rapids OF
the raging river. 1t seems that Col.
l.. had been fishing near the spot where
the tree fell, when he was startled by
the crash Of its descent. He knew
that The train was over due, and at
once took steps to avert an impending
calamity. The Colonel being modest
man and OF a retiring disposition, re-
fused to give his name to the delighted
passengers, AMI thereby unwittingly
added very materially to the sense of
obligation they recognized in he
worthy deed. 1t was only few days
ago that one of the passengers on the
lucky train happened to be in the city
and recognized the man on the street
who had performed such a signal SER
vice. He at once inquired his name
and made known to the public the
heir to fame and renown. While we
would not detract in the least from the
ColonePs fame, we cannot refrain
from expressing the belief that there
are thousands of people who would
like to have circumstances, or Fate it
may have been, to place such a hand
of trump cards at their disposal. They
very naturally think they would run
the risk Of making good the 4" lone
hand"

WAS 1T IN ANswER?-The Woman
Christian Temperance Union at
Bridgeton, N. j., last week prayed
that the excise board refrain from is-
suing liquor licenses; the next day it
prayed that the Almighty might re-
move the excise board if it granted
any more licenses. On Monday Of
this week, the Secretary of the Board
of Excise Commissioners, who is the
executive officer OF that body, was
stricken with paralysis, from which he
died in few hours.

A MOVEMENT is on foot in Southern
California, to replace the Chinese now

ing to solve the financial question

The Olympian-Tribune is disposed
to be facetious about the appointment
of a citizen who was deceased as Reg
lister OF one OF the Land Offices of the
State, and the same error of the U. S.
Marshal at Tacoma in drawing q
"dead man on the U. S. jury" The
fact is there has not been nigh the
scramble for Office under this admins
tration as that which preceded it; not
enough, it seems, for rival aspirants to
keep the appointing powers informed
as to that important essential for
eligibility-life. There was formerly
no opportunity for an Office to go
begging, with a host OF applicants
watching to grasp it. In times past,
applications have been on file for
places in which the incumbent was i'll
and the remote hope presented of liter
ally stepping into dead mans shoes
Our contemporary is too "new" to pass
a discriminating judgment upon the
relative political rapacity OF the two
parties in this State.

REPEAL OF THE SILVER ACT.-SO
far as the popular branch of Congress
is concerned, the compulsory pur.
chase OF silver by the government is a
matter of the past. The bill for the
repeal of the silver purchase law
passed that body by a vote of 239 to
ITO, or majority OF 129 in $40 votes,
thirty more than a two-thirds major
ity. The Senate will pass the bill,
but probably by a less proportional
majority. An analysis OF the vote on
repeal in the House, discloses the fact
that 14l Democrats and 80 Republi.
cans voted for the bill, and II Demo-
Gratis, % Republicans and IL populists
voted against it. 1t will thus be seen
that the movement was in no sense
party measure. Representative
Wilson voted against repeal and
in so doing misrepresented the wishes
of his constituents.

PLENTY OF SACKs.-It was feared
until a day or two ago that the ship
Harlin, overdue from Calcutta, India,

prehension that was felt that there
would not be enough sacks to move

CHOLERA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
from the cholera infected districts of
Europe, show an alarming increase in
the dread disease, but an apathy seems
to exist on this side the sea as to the
danger of communication, that is in
marked contrast with the alarm last
year and the extraordinary precautions
that were taken to prevent its introduce
ton and spread. The disease seems to
center in Russia, and districts in
France, Germany. Italy, and in fact
almost every part of Europe, report
existence of the ccourge. A dispatch
from Brazil gives an account of the
arrival at Rio Janeiro of an ocean
horror, in the shape of a steamer. the
Carlos, with many persons sick
from cholera and having a record of
lO5 deaths on her voyage across the
ocean. She was not allowed to enter
and was escorted out of the harbor by
the war ship Republ;ca with in.
structions not to land at any Brazilian
port.

Near Fairbaven a few days ago a
cougar visited the house of a farmer
The animal came up to the door
which wac open, and a little girl, who
was alone in the house, saw it. She
didn't know what kind of q beast il
was, but the cougar blinked at her,
and she says looked at a piece OF
bread she had in her hand. She
threw it to the beast; it ate the
bread, took another look at the child
and quietly disappeared into the for.
est at the rear of the house. When
her parents returned the child told
her story, and an examination of the
footprints showed them to be those oil

UNEMPLOYED MEN. - The State
Labor Commissioner OF Colorado
estimates, from returns made to him,
that there are now $4,000 laborers out

result of the recent closing OF the

soon as the crops are harvested, will
largely increase this number of
dependents during the inclement
season.

WESTERN WASHINGTON.

Word has been received from Bois-
fort. small station on the Chehalis &
South Bend road, of the accidental
shooting of Samuel Weaver. an old
resident OF that place. He had been
out hunting, and started to climb over
a fence on his way home. He placed
the gun on the other side of the fence
and was climbing over when the top
rail gave way, striking the weapon and
discharging it, the ball taking effect in
his left side near the region of the
heart. Several persons saw the acct
dent and ran to his assistance. They
carried BIN to his house, where he
Gied in half an hour. Weaver was the
man who killed ]. w. Mcpherson in
an alteration at that place last June,
and was under $1,000 bonds for trial
in the Superior Court. His death was
from the same rifle with which he
killed Mcpherson.

brace when completed 1000 imperial
folio pages. l. by lG inches, printed on
the finest enamel,d paper, and is is
sued in parts Of 40 pages at ri
each. This work will give the reader
a much better and more comprehen-
sive idea Of the great show than a
months personal inspection of the
thousands Of objects OF interest that
are crowded together, and which leave
on the memory but a confused im-
preston Of any one part, even though
it he of transcendent interest. Tie
Book Of the Fair will keep the matter
before you long enough for thor
ough understanding of each subject
treated. There viii hc no less than
1000 superb pictures in the whole
work, many OF which will be whole
page illustrations. 4 chapter on
" Fairs OF the Past" will enable the
reader to compare former efforts with
this grand elimination OF American
enterprise and progress. Those who
did not visit the fair should, at least,
avail themselves of this opportunity
to keep up with the progress of
thought, and those who did, will find
it An aid to a thorough understanding
of much they saw but failed to COM
prehend. Orders for this superb pub

WHY WERE THE DETAILS Sup
rREssED?-It now transpires that
President Cleveland had an operation
performed for the removal of a growth
in the bones of his upper jaw July lst,
while he was on board Mr.. Benedicts
yacht. the Oneida. but why the matter
was kept such profound secret is not
apparent. The story is told by DIR.
Ferdinand Hasbrock, a Dentist who
took part in the service. He says
that the President was placed under
the influence of nitrous oxide, and in
order to enable the surgeons to cut
away the bone, which was the seat Of
the disease, he extracted two bicuspid
teeth from the left side of the upper
jaw. The surgeons worked entirely
within the cavity Of the mouth. The
seat of the diseased growth was in the
lower bones of the nose, in the adjoin-
ing bone tissue on the left side OF the
upper jaw. Piece by piece, perhaps an
inch or more of it was removed.
While the operation was in progress
the President revived from the effects
of the an@sthetic and it was admins
tered to him the second time. Mr..
Cleveland stood the oxide very we'll
and no bad effects were produced
by it. He rallied very quickly. The
operation, so far as could be seen, was
an entire success. Loss OF blood was
not great. The length OF time that
has elapsed since the operation was
performed, is an assurance that it has
been followed by 40 alarming effects,
as was doubtless apprehended from
the nature of the operation.

but he came most often In the late
autumn, judging perhaps that he stood
a better nance of being listened to
and aided when the farmers summer
work was over and the ii :e one Of
plenty, festivitv and good feeling.
He was the man who begged money
for the release of captives taken by the
Barbary pirates and held for ransom in
Algiers.
He had a piteous tale to tell of faith.
er, brother or son captured and en-
shaved, toilin2 in the blazing u of
that tropic region, ill-used, beaten and
exhausted, waiting and longing for the
rescue which could not come until some
given sum was raised and shipped to
his cruel master.
Too often this tale was true. Often
also it was false, for it won so ready a
response in cash and sympathy that i'm
posters o 0 took it up and it became
as regular a stock-in-trade Of profess
siOnal beggars and tramps as the sick
wife and five small children we hear
them whine about to-day.
When news came to a seaport town
that a vessel had been taken hailing
from their port, word would be sent to
the minister, who would proclaim from
the pulpit next Sunday the facts and
would ask the people to contribute for
the ransom of captives or the help Of
those who were friendless in a strange
land.
The congregation, many of them
neighbors and friends of the unfortu-
nate men, would respond as generously
as they could afford.
Yet so many were the captives taken,
and SO steady was the demand for an
som money, that in some places a special
day was set apart for a collection for
the benefit of Algerine prisoners, with
out regard to information of recent
capture. This day was usually the Sun
day before Thanksgiving and the local
name for it was Barbary Sunday.
There are old people still living
who can remember these collections
and the pathetic stories told by the
ransomed and rescued captives on their
return.-Youth's Companion.
