Months of 1S9l.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-A report on
the production OF lead in the United
States during the FIRST six months Of the
year was submitted to the United States
geological survey yesterday by Special
Agent Kisnchof. 1t shows heavy
falling off in the quantity of lead drawn
from domestic sources and shows that
the decline in the price of lead and the
prostration OF the silver mining indus-
try have seriously affected the leading
industry OF the Rocky mountain states
and territories.
The production OF dole.silverized lead
amounted to 86,772 net tons against 95,-
921 for the frat six months of 1898 and
OF soft lead 1850 tons net, against 49,
S05 for the corresponding period OF last
year.
The total production of refined lead
was 1928 net tons, against Ill, 1926 in
the first half Of 1913. the refined in bond
amouating to 1892 net tons against
12.230 for the first half Of last year.
The lead available for home markets
aggregated $1,000, including 9.7s3 tons
representing the contents of Mexican
and Cana dian ores. From other sources
the lead production netted 7l,204 tons
against $3.50 net tons during the first
half. and 81, 800 tons in theltecond half
OF 1893. The stock OF lead in refners'

SHE SHOT TO KILL.
ANNIE GULL, A SERVANT GIRL,
WINGS A BURGLAR.
The Man Attempts to Enter Her Room
Through Window and Runs
Against Bnilot-Tho
DstRils.

Annie Gull, a servant girl in the home
OF Mrs. Frank Lecouvreur, at 65l South
Main street, is the sort of servant girl
to have. About / O'Clock this morning
she shot a man named Joseph Sesma
in the head, and it is through no fault
of hers if the man is still in the land OF
the living.
Sesma, who is swarthy skinned,
misunderstanding Spaniard, was trying
to enter the house through side win
dow on the ground floor. The girl
heard the noise made by the opening Of
the window. and when head appeared
over the sill she blazed away and
winged the game at the fret shot. The
bullet from the revolver struck him on
the left temple, and laid him out. 1t
was straight shot, and the bullet
went into the brain.
]. Herlihy, grocer on Main street,
who is . cousin Of Mrs. Lecouvreur' 9
and resides at their house, heard the
shot, and, attired only in his night robe,
rushed to the spot just in time to cap
hard struggle until policeman ap-
pesred.
Sesma was prepared for business. His
feet were padded with gunny sacks and
in his pockets was half pint OF chloro-
form and q small sponge.
He WAS evidently trying to get into
the house for the purpose OF robbng the
inmates. Mrs. Lecouvreur is well
known lady, an old resident of this city
and known but for her benevolent acts.
Sesma knew the family and was known
by them. He had been helped on sew
eral occasions by Mrs. Leoouvreur and
had threatened the life OF the servant,
Annie Gull, on several occasions.
Sesma's wound is very serious one
and only difficult operation can save
him.
After several OF the police detectives
had Heen the man it was discovered that
he is tbs ''Pssping Tom" who has been
giving the police 90 much trouble for
more than year. 1t is possible that
robbery was not his game.

Her Wicker Handbag.

One Of the indispensables for summer
travel, especially for busy women whose
hnly vacation consists Of flying trips to
~eashore or mountain, is lightweight
valise or telescope bag. The acme Of
perfection in this line CT requisites is
supplied by the oblong wicker baskets
to be found in Chinese and Japanese
shops. AS they come in nests, any size
desired may be obtained, from the very
small ones which will carry only a
lunch and favorite volume to the large
but not weighty affairs which will hold
all the garments and other essentials for
a several days sojourn. The baskets,
snugly fitted together, are held by sub
stantial shawl strap, and this convenient
arrangement costs less than 90. Any
ablebodied woman, old orfyoung, can
easily carry one and still have strength
enough left to rise up and call blessed
the intelligent person who adapted a
foreign article to the use Of the inde-
pendent American woman.

Recent Ruling.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Fifteen hundred
persons assembled at Prohibition park,
Staten island today, to hear Rev. DR..
McGynn discourse on A Model Com
monwealth. Preceding his remarks. he
gave, by request, prelude on Monsig-
nor Satolli's confirmation of Bishop Wat
terson's famous order. At meeting at
the park week ago the question was
asked Il the Importance and seriousness
Oh the ablegate's utterances against the
saloons were not overestimated, and Ii
was aleo asked if a single representative
Catholic could be named who was op-
posed to the saloon.
In introducing the subject DR.. MoGlynn
read utterances of Arch bishop Ireland.
Bishop McCsud of Vermont. and Bishop
Missnsr oil Wisconsin indorsing Sstolli's
position. McGlynn said there was
a danger in magnifying Manager Satol-
lis letter beyond the intention OF the
writer and beyond Its real effect. 1t
was not o decree. Manager Satolli was
not here to make laws. Manager
Sstolli hardly mennt, and Bishop Wat.
terson hardly meant that 1t was sin to
drink Intoxicating liquors or to sell
them. They have not gone so far as
that. In effect the letter meant that
Catholics should look to it that their
families and business should be so con-
Quoted as to be no occasion OF sin or
scandal.
The letter Of the apostolic delegate
had no more force than the order of the
Bishop of Columbus, but it did not re-
quire great perception to understand
how far-reaching would be its effect.
The letter plainly insinuates that if each
bishop in the United States should issue
the same orders as had Bishop Wat
terson, and Monsignor Satolli should be
appealed to for reversal OF that order.
that be would give the same answer. 1t
would have no effect in encouraging the
Catholic people and clergy to practices
to preach temperance. 1t would cause
saloon-keepers to conduct their business
with greater public decorum when they
understood they might be excluded from
the church for engaging in the traffic.

THE FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
1t Occurred In Rome and Took Place In
the Year 800 ID. G.

Livy, in his famous book, 1.-THE An
nals," 8, 80, relates in the following
suggestive words the story Of a singular
strike which occurred in Romo in the
year 800 B. G. and was. probably the
first strike over known:
That year occurred an event little
worthy Of being related, and which l
would pass in silence had it not appeared
as involving religion. The flute players,
dissatisfied because tho latest censors
had forbidden them to take part In the
banquet in Jupiter's temple, according
to the ancient custom, withdrew, every
one of them, to Thur, SO that nobody
was left at Rome to play during the sac
rifices. This incident shocked the reli-
gious sentiment of the senate, and the
senator's sent messengers to invite the in
habitants of Thur to make every effort
in order that the players should be re-
stored to the Romans. The Tiburtines,
having promised not to neglect AMI
thing necessary for that purpose caused
the flute players to come to the place
where the senate met and exhorted them
to 20 back to Rome Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do so,
they employed strategem in keeping
with their character.
On day of festival, under pretext
that music would increase the joy of the
feast, every citizen invited the flute
players individually to his house, and
wine, Of which people Of that profession
are usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into
deep sleep. They were then thrown into
wagons and transported to Rome. They
only became aware Of what had hap
pened on the day after, when dawn
surprised them lying on the carts,
which had been left in the forum. A
large crowd had assembled, and they
were induced to promise that they would
remain at Rome. The right Of attend
ing the banquets was restored to these
flute players New York Tribune.

even as the wagon came to a sudden
stand the gallant steed rolled over and

When Lieutenant Drummond regain
ed his senses, he found himself unable to
believe them. Conscious at first only
of being terribly bruised and shaken, he
realized that he was being borne along
in some wheeled vehicle, moving with
slow and decorous pace over a soft yet
unbeaten and irregular trail. Con
scious of fierce white light and heat
about him on every side, he was aware
of a. moist, cool, dark bandage over his
eyes that prevented him from seeing.
Striving to raise a hand to sweep the
binding cloth away, he met rebellion.
A sudden spasm Of pain that made
hin. vince, the quick contraction of his
features, the low moan Of distress, were
answered instantly by a most surpris-
ing vail in a sweet girlish voice.

quickly removed the bandage, and
Fanny Harvey's lovely face, pale and
framed with much disheveled hair,
was bending anxiously over him, but a
smile of hope, even of JOY, was parting
the soft lips as she saw the light of re-
turning reason in his eyes. At this
same instant. too, the hands that sup.
ported his face were suddenly drawn
away, and his pillow became unstable.
One quick glance told him the situa-
ton. The seats Of the Concord had
been lifted out, blankets had been
spread within; he was lying at full
length, his aching head supported in
Ruth Harvey's lap. Fanny, her elder
sister, was seated facing him, but at
his side. No wonder Jim Drummond
could not quite believe his senses.
It was Fanny who first recovered her
self poise. Throwing back the hanging
curtain at the side, she called aloud:
"Mr. Wing, come to us! He's con-
scious."
And the next instant the slow motion
of the wagon ceased, the door was
wrenched open, and there in the glow
ing sunshine stood the tall sergeant
whom he last had seen when scouting
through Picacho pass.
