1t would be difficult to convince the
average man, especially the Missouri
pioneer, that fir is stronger wood than
oak, but such has been proved by ac-
tual tests that were made by fair and
impartial committee appointed for the
purpose. The timbers used were each
2 by inches and 4 feet long, both ends
solidly braced and the weight applied
in the middle of the span. Yellow fir
stood strain of 3, 062 pounds, common
Oregon oak 2, 922 pounds. Fine grained
strain of 1855 pounds, and best Michi-
gan oak snapped with strain of only
2,429 pounds. These tests were made
by the Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany at Tacoma.-St. Louis Republic.

ICELANDIC EMIGRANTS.
The Exodus Beginning to Assume seri-
ous Aspect to the Arctic Island.

The Exodus Beginning to Assume Seri-
Gus Aspect to the Arctic Island.
Since the political agitations of Ice
land in 1885, which disturbed and dis
couraged the population, things have
been going materially from bad to
worse. We are occasionally called upon
to listen to jeremiads about Icelandic
starvation from those whose sentiment
for the Icelanders is more active than
their information is exact, and the
English public has become suspicious
Of cries of "Wolf!" But the present
season, with its excellent weather and
good supplies of food, has not shown
any reaction against the draining away
of the people.
This summer no fewer than 600 per-
sons emigrated to America, bringing
the population below that limit of TO-
900 to which it had already dwfndled.
The island now contains, it is believed,
fewer inhabitants than it did in 1870,
before the temporary rise in Icelandic
prosperity. The emigrants are largely
of the farm laborer class, and there is
growing complaint that portions of
the country are going out of cultiva-
ton because there is no one to work on
the land.
Canada is beginning to attract the
Icelanders to its northern provinces,
and during the last six months three or
four Canadian agents have been visit
ing every township in the island,
preaching the attractions of the new
country. The government has even gone
SO far as to introduce bill proposing
to discourage emigration, or in any
case to put a stop to the propaganda Of
these Canadian agents, but it is doubt
full whether this measure will pass the
althing, and nothing seems able to
modify the distaste which the Icelander
has formed for his venerable but arid
acres.
A speaker in the althing the other
day remarked that a bill preventing
Icelanders who were doing well in the
west from writing to their friends at
home would do thousand times more
| service than an attempt to persecute
touting colonial agents. ts.-Saturday Re

Two Convincing Reasons.

Lord Peterborough, who lived in the
reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic
some, and one day seeing from his car
riage dancing master with pearl col
ored stockings lightly stepping over the
broad stones and picking his way in ex-
tremely dirty weather he alighted and
ran after him with drawn sword in or
der to drive him into the mud, but into
which he of course followed himself.
This nobleman was once taken for the
Duke of Marlborough and was mobbed
in consequence. The duke was then in
disgrace with the people, and Lord Pc
terborough was about to be roughly
handled. Turning to them, he said:
Gentlemen, can convince you by
two reasons that am not the Duke of
Marlborough. In the first place, have
only guineas in my pocket, and in the
second they are heartily at your serv-
ice. "-Sala's Journal.

In Defence of Melba,

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER : Please pardon my intrusion in ask ing you to allow me some space in your valuable paper to answer what I con- slider the unjust and unfair criticisms of Mime. Melba's singing at the Hy-
 perion. have had the great pleasure
 of hearing Melba sing in New York
 and not being able to attend the con- cert on Friday evening, was very
 anxious to see how she would be re- ceived by the people of New Haven. was quite disappointed to find only
 one paper (which was the Journal and Courierl give her the praise she de-
 serves. Is 1t any wonder that artists
 dislike to come to a small city to sing
 have heard a great many people in New Haven complain because they
 are not given the opportunity Of hear ing the, great artists, and when they
 are favored by them, the local papers tear them to pieces. What is the re- suit? Theatrical managers are very
 reluctant about producing their artists
 here again. I cannot imagine Melba
 being called a cold singer and fur
 thermore do not see how a cofnparisoi can be made with Miss Gaffney. We all know the latter to be the grandest singer which was ever produced by our city and we are always glad to Econgratulate her on the success she has made. But at present we cannot
 make a comparison with Melba. I
 once had the pleasure Of singing in
 q chorus with the great Nordica as
 the solpist. The reception that she
 received from the audience was Of the
 grandest and equal to the one which
 was given Melba in New York last winter. The audience became so en-
 thusiastic over her that they stood up and gave her encore after encore. to which she responded in the sweet est manner. She remarked after the concert that no one knew what such an audience could do for q singer. It may sbesthe case that on Friday even sing the audience was cold, ma not the singer. Another thing. there is a great difference between ansoperAtic concert ana an opera closing. NH ny let us aid Our genial and e1teFpfising MT.

 It Is generally conceded that senior would have better results than a lower class man, and as there is only one player from what will be the senior class, 1t Is that one which will prob- ably get the office.

POpuIists Have Hired the Fairgrounds
and Expect $4,000 People.
The big demonstration promised by the
Populists for next week during their
state convention, will be a disappoint-

Topeka to participate in the event.
The executive committee of the State
central committee in preparing to carry
out the plan of Chairman BreidenthaI
has engaged the state fair grounds for
all of next week.
The fair grounds will be the headuuar-
tiers of the farmers, and that is where the
pilgrims will camp with their horses and
wagons.
1t is the understanding among the Pop
ulists at the state house that farmer mem
bers of their party will come to Topeka in
wagons from all directions the distance
of seventy-five miles and they will show
Republican Topeka that Populism is
neither dead nor sIeeping.

MCKEEsPORT, Pa, June I'm an in

verse of the tube WORKS, stated that the
mill would remain idle for the present.
No deputy sheritfs have been asked for
TO protect the works, and no men will be
imported to start the works.
He said further that when the plant re-
sumed yesterday they had 33O. men at
work, and but for the mob, which fright
ened them away, the works would have
been full at the end of the week as
the meagre demand of the product at the
present time would warrant. As to the
future intentions of the company he said:
81 can say nothing further except that
we are now in consultation with our at
tOrneys with view to placing the enor-
nous damages to which we have been
subjected on the proper officials shout
ders.''
There were probably 800 men hurt
during the rioting yesterday, some OF
them seriously. 1t is difficult to ascer-
tain the extent of their injuries, as they
were promptly taken to their homes
Most of the persons who were hurt are
foreigners. Lewis Manlin and Joseph
Kobsky were badly kicksd and beaten,
and sustained serious internal injuries
which may result fatally.
Mayor Andre has issued a proclama-
ton, cautioning the people not
to congregate on the streets or
around the works. The majority
of the strikers crossed the river to Port
View, when this announcement was
made. Mayor Andre says he is prepared
for any emergency. He has notfincreased
the police force or asked for assistance
from the county authorities.
The city was half deserted this after
noon by the departure of a mob of 1000
strikers to Camden, three miles south of
here. Their mission is said to be the de-
struction of coal tipples, the object being
to enlist the striking miners in their
cause
Captain Mcintyre narrowly escaped
lynching at the hands of the mob which
destroyed the Port View tipples The
captain tried to check the progress ofthe
mob at the point of a revolver, but the
mob made rush for him, and would
have reached him if it had not been for
some of the miners who rescued him
from the strikers.
