LITTLE DAMAGE DONE.
Cne Woman Reported Killed IN
United States Minister Thomp-'
sons Report--Roth Ships and
Forts Escaped runinJured
Poor Workmanship.

Accounts OF the bombardment OF Flo
Janeiro are very vague. Advices received
in London show that Admiral Mello, co b.
mandipg the Rebel Brazilian feet, carried
out his tt rcat to lombard the forts guard hg
the Bay Of Rio de Janeiro.
The rebel warships, including the cruisers
Aquidaban, Republica and Trajano. took up
positions before the fo.ts shortly before 9
O'Clock, and little after that hour the Sig
nal TO fire was set and was promptly obeyed.
The first gun was fred from the flagship
of the feet and its detonation had scarcely
died away before the shot was answered
from the fort at which it was directed. The
firing then lecame general and the noise OF
the bomb0rdment was deafenihg.
From all the advices at hand, however, II
appears that little damage was done either
to the forts or TO the warships The four 20
ton breech-loading guns OF the Aqudaban
did not appear to be well handled, and nany
of their balls went wide OF their marks.
Equally poor craftsmanship was displayed
by the gunners in the forts.
Considerable excitement prevailed in the
, city during the continuance OF the actual
hostilities. At about 3 p NJ, or after the
bombardment had lasted six hours, the sig
nal cease firing" was displayed Oh the flag
ship, and the retel fleet withdrew. There
we're few casualties among the Government
troops. The loss to the rebels or the damage
to the ships is unknown.
Aside from the bombardmeDt, the situation
at Rio de Janeiro remains unchanged.

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES
Wisconsin Towns and Villages De-
stroyed.-Many Persons Missing.

Marsbfield, Wis, is in panic on account
of forest -fres. Many families in tho sur
rounding districts have been burned out and
children are reported missing, but no loss OF
life has been definitely reported. The fire
department was out Till late Mt night fighting
fires inside the limit. Farmers from the
surrounding county came in wagon loads
for refuge in the city, many having been
burned out completely. The surrounding
towns are laid waste, and smoke fills the air
binding everyone. The Wisconsin Central
Trains are abandoned, and north OF Marsh
field, are running over the Omaha road.
Mcmillan telephoned for help, and train
went out and brought back thirty families
who were burned out. The high wind made
the fires hard 10 control. Fires are still
burning, but the wind has gone down. A
later despatch states there is no truth in the
report that people have been burned to
death in the surrounding country The
only living thing burned so far as known

where women Come From.

WOman's first appearance has been
fruitful subject for the legend mon

lion and Galatea. There the first
woman was carved out of ivory and
then endowed with life by Aphro-
dite.
The Greek theory Of the creation
of woman according to Hesiod, was
that Zeus, as cruel Jest, ordered
Vulcan to make woman out Of clay,
and then induced the various gods
and goddesSes to invest the clay doll
with all their worst qualities, the re-
suit being lovely thing with the
witchery Of mien, refined craft, eager
passion, love of dress, treacherous
manner and shameless mind.
The Scandlnayians say that as
Odin, Will and We, the three sons Of
Dor, were walking along the sea
beach they found two sticks Of wood,
one of ash and one of elm. Sitting
down, the gods shaped man and

One of the strangest Of stories
touching the origin of woman is told

the creation of man goes, the legend

only that the fall came before Eve

have you not noticed the papers proclaiming

religious discussions in them2
Go back few years when there was not q
decent paper in the United States that had
not a discussion on the doctrine OF eternal
punishment. Small wits made merry,
know, but there was not an intelligent man
IN the United States that as result OF that
controversy in regard to eternal punishment
did not ask himself the question, "What is
to be my eternal destiny? And some years
ago when Tyndali offered his prayer gauge
there was not secular paper in the United
states that did not discuss the question
docs God ever answer prayer. May the
creature impress the CREATOR"

LINpsAY LOOKS roR nrprAL.

Senator Lindsay of Kentucky says
that the southern senators cannot afford
to filibuster much longer, and when the
federal election bill is pushed into the
Senate from the House 1t will have the
effect of forcing vote on repeal; and
when a vote is taken there is no doubt
that the bill will be passed
Senator Washburn OF Minnesota says
that looking at the matter from a con
servative and non-partisan standpoint, he
does not see how the repeal bill can be
defeated. There will be no compromise
and the vote has got TO be reached. The
silver senator's are weakening now on fill
clustering. This shows that vote will
be reached, and when it Is reached, there
can be no doubt of the result
Hon, Ashbel p. Fitch of New York says
that the prospect for unconditional re-
peal looks brighter to-day than IL did a
week ago. A week ago it looked very
much like there would be compromise,
until the anti-repealers, who were in favor
of compromise, got together and tried to
agree upon some compromise that would
suit all of them. Then IL appeared that
they disagreed among themselves as much
as they disagreed with the repealers.
Hon. Isidor Rayner of Maryland said
that no thought of compromise had as yet
entered the mind Of the President. There
is no possibility of compromise. The sill
YER men are playing q bluff game, and

Hon. Josiah Patterson of Tennessee
said that there may possibly have to be
some little concession made to the silver
men for the purpose of preserving party
harmony and unity, but he feels sure that
the repeal bill will pass substantially as
it is.
