WE THOUGHT YOU DEAD"

A curious scene was witnessed yes
terday afternoon outside Paddington
station, says the London Telegraph
A respectfully dressed young woman
who had arrived at the terminus from
the country was quietly proceeding in
the direction of Edgeware road, when
a young man, also respectfully dress
ed, met her, turned deadly pale and
exclaimed: "Oh, Ellen, we thought
you were deadw and would probably
have fallen to the ground in faint
ing condition had not the young wo-
man and sympathetic wayfarers who
witnessed the unusual occurrence as
sisted him into temperance refresh
ment house, where restoratives were
obtained.
Their case proved to be a strange
one The girl had for some time been
shop assistant at a village on the
outskirts of South London, and had
there become engaged to the young
man. She left her place and return
ed to her parents in the country for
holiday. Somehow or other a report
was spread in the village that the
girl had suddenly died from influenza,
and the news appeared SO circumstan
tial and detailed that it obtained
general credence. The lover was dis
consulate, mentioned his grief to the
pastor of the Methodist chapel where
he and his sweetheart had worship
ed, and the minister next Sunday
preachedsa funeral sermon, drawing
lessons from the unexpected decease
of their young friend. All was over.
The young man, it appeared, actu-
ally was on his way to Paddington
station, en- route to the home of the
girl with the view of visiting the
grave, when he met her in the flesh,
alive and looking very well. She de
clared that she had written to him
once and was astonished not to have
got an answer He, on his side, aver
red that the missive never reached
him. 1t is very probable that the
Methodist minister who pronounced
her funeral Grafton will soon be asked
to officiate at a still more interesting
ceremony, in which she will be one OF
two principal participants.
GENTLEMEN:-I have been martyr
to severe headaches for many, many
years, and since coming to this coun-
try four years ago, think the attacks
have been more severe than ever. A
few months ago, druggist sold me
box of your Krause's Headache
Capsules, and their effects were magi-
cal. To-day while on visit I had
severe attack and procured one of
your Capsules and my suffering was
instantaneously relieved.
[ would be glad if you would let
me know how much per dozen boxes
I could get them for, as I wish to send
some to friends in the east where l
came from, as well as keep supply
on hand.
You can be assured of my recon-
mendation being given to your medi
cine whenever the opportunity offers.

A euLLET-PRoo7 eRE EAsTPLATE
Tho Invention of German Tailor I,
Protect Soldiers.

Tho Invention of n German Tailor to
Protect Soldiers.
Proiectile makers in recent years
have expended much money, time and
ingenuity in increasing the efficiency
of the various missiles that come with
in scope of their endeavors, and they
have undoubtedly achieved some won
derful results. But of what use is 1t
all? No sooner is the projectilc i'm
proved to the extent of demO1ishing
the ikeliest object of it's attack than
come counter Improvement is made to
defeat the improved projectile. Armor
plate is made too strong to be pene-
trated by missiles of the greatest
known penetration, and then missiles
are made to penetrate the armor, and
stronger armor has to be made. So the
inventors in the two lines keep playing
seesaw with one another, now one up
and now the other, until it seems as il
their rival efforts must produce about
the same result as If neither had ever
begun. and as il the best way to end it
all was to mutually agree to do moth
ing.
Here is q German tailor in Mann
helm, for instance, says the London
News, who had apparently defeated
the lately gained and much lauded in
creased penetrating power of the Ger.
man rifle ball. He has invented or dis
covered some substance which resists
bullets in a way thatgreatly astonishes
military men, and the army magnatcs
are after his secret. Military commits
sions have made numerous tests and
declared the results most satisfactory.
The inventor has made the material
into sort Of cuirass or brcastplatc in
tended to be fastened to the uniform ut
the shoulders and the thighs and
weighing only six pounds. The sur
face of the breastplate is of ordinary
military cloth, and the resisting sub
stance is put underneath. OF course it
leaves the head, arms and legs e1i-
posed. At one Of the tests o life size
dummy figure Of a soldier was dressed
up with one OF the shields and set up
to be fired ut. Not one Of the bullets
that struck tho figure went through
the material They were found i'm
bcdded in the coat, all of them fiat
tened by the resistance offered. In or
der to find the probable effect OF the
bullets upon human body the dummy
was covered with soft material under
the breastplate, and the effect upon IL
was but a slight depression. less than
tenth OF an inch beneath where the
bullet struck. 1t seems likely, there
fore, that n soldier wearing the armor
would suffer some pain on being struck
by bullet, and at n short distance
might even be rendered inscnsible, but
it is thought he could not be seriously
injured. ..

THE GALA LILY EDIBLE.
1t Tastes and Is to He Cooked Like tn

1t Tastes and Is to He Cooked Like tho
Potato.
A new vegetable is about to be in
troduced to the people of the United
States through the department of ag-
riculture. 1t is the root of the Gala
lily, which resembles somewhat in ap-
pearance the Irish tuber, with the ad-
dition of few whiskers that have
nothing to do with the qualities of the
article as an esculent, says the Phila-
delphia Times.
1t is more elongated, and when cut
the interior is n trifle more viscid. But
4 section of it is so potato-like you
would not be likely to distinguish any
difference. In cooking it first has to
be boiled to destroy certain acrid prop
critics, after which it may be fried,
roasted, baked or what not, according
to taste.
Farmers in Florida have begun to
raise these Gala roots for market. The
plants grow rapidly in the swamps,
and so thickly that the yield of n single
flooded acre is enormous. They re-
produce themselves by the multiplica-
ton of their bulbs under ground, SO
that the grower has simply to dig up
the offshoots and leave the parents to
propagate anew.
For centuries the Egyptians have
cultivated similar crop during the
season of the Nile overflow, and at the
present time Gala lily bulbs are n com
mon vegetable in Japanese markets.
So prolific and palatable are they that
their propagation in many parts of the
United States, where conditions are
favorable, may reasonably be looked
forward to as an agricultural industry
of the future.

A Queer English Election Custom.

The candidates for bailiff in the
town of Alnwick, North England, just
before the election, ride in procession
to horse pond near the town, dis
mount and struggle through the mud
and water as best they can. They are
accompanied by brass band and all
the population of the town and neigh
borhood. The custom dates from the
time of King John, who visited the
town in 1910. The roads were very bad,
and some of his baggage wagons had
to be left in the mire. On his arrival he
inquired who was responsible for the
condition of the roads, and, learning
that the bailiffs were to blame. ordered
them to be seized and dragged through
the nearest pond.

An electric storm at sea is one of the
alarming experiences to which a mari
ner is exposed, but Us matter of rec
ord it is one that is least fruitful in
disastrous results. As n rule few pre-
cautions are taken to guard against n
stroke of lightning, especially in the
merchant service. Ships of war are
usually fitted with lightning conduc-
tors, a prccaution made necessary by
the explosives stored away in their
magazines But these safeguards are
seldom seen on a merchant vessel, and.
Judging by the extreme rarity Of the
cases where they have been struck,
Jacks claim that he IS safer on the
ocean than on shore during an electric
al disturbance must be admitted.

Ten years ago when fruit trees were
first introduced into the valleys OF the
Gunnison and Uncompahgre it was
somewhat OF and open question whether
they would bring forth reward for the
labor. But it is no longer question.
From the time the first trees came into
bearing there has never been crop
failure, and every year has brought,forth
an abundant harvest of the very choicest
fruits which have commanded tho high
est prices on every market where they
have been introduced
Thousands upon thousands OF trees and
vines are bearing every year producing
over 100000 pounds of choice fruit an
nually and this is but a commencement.
AS nearly as the number can be comput-
ed by freight receipts, and the output OF
homo nurseries Delta county fruit-grow
ers in 1893 planted over 100, 900 fruit trees,
not counting the many small fruits plant
ed. The planting for 1894 promises to
exceed 100000 trees; one firm alone hav-
ing contracted for 100000 trees. When
all these trees come to bearing the output
OF fruit will be beyond the grasp Of
imagination.
There is no fruit grown in the temper
ate zone which does not flourish in these
valleys. Among those in bearing are
apples, pears, peaches, grapes, ounces,
apricots, plums, nectarines, gooseberries,
currants, blackberries raspberries, null
berries, Strawberries, and all OF finest
flavor.
The natural resources which help the
fruit-grower are an abundance OF sun
shine; plenty Of water; no insects; no
tornadoes; no hailstorms, and winters SO
mild no trees are killed by cold weather.
While the growth OF fruit is the parti-
cular industry in which Delta county
excels yet there are other industries in
which it ranks well with other commun-
ities There will probably never be a
silver mine located in Delta county.
There is not known to be any gold mines
at present in operation in tho county
except one or two placer diggings but
as the head OF the Gunnison valley con
tains large amount of float and gold
specimens no doubt leads will yet be
struck in the eastern portion of tho coun-
ty.
The area OF coal lands 10 not computed
by the acre, but by the mile, and tho
entire side Of the Grand Mesa for over
40 miles abounds in coal OF the best
quality. But three mines are in opera

The Kansas Populists have organized
theatrical companies to present plays
with which they hope to capture this
falls election. They will play school
houses and town halls when the campaign
opens. The following is the plot as we
find it In an exchange:
"The rise of the curtain on the first act
discloses scene set as Kansrs farm.
The landscape is beautiful. The hero, in
an ordinary working suit, is discovered
sitting on his back porch, whiting and
gravely discussing the state and national
situation with some neighbors, while
dark, chilly mortgage is seen slowly set
tling down on his farm. The neighbors
go away after while and the hero dis
covers the mortgage. This, OF course. i'm
modiately makes him Populist, and the
play thon proceeds through four acts,
faithfully depicting the struggle between
the hero and the mortgage, with the odds
now on one and now on the other. Heart
rending incidents are introduced at inter
walls. AS the interest payments fall due
on the mortgage, there being no money
in the house, the children one after the
other. and finally the wife. are seized by
the insatiate mortgage an ancient maiden
lady in Connecticut, and held as hostages.
With the first election OF Lewelling the
grip of the mortgage is ioosened and the
fight goes bravely on. After the second
election of Lewelling and complete Pop
ulist legislature. the drama rapidly draws
10 close. and in the last act tho governor
appears in person on the scene and with
a royal wave Of his right hand this left
being held outspread behind HIM. par,

II ,I , ant
maiden lady who held the mortgage, hay

Washington. d. c., March The
Senate Committee on the Judiciary heard
large delegation from the Reformed
Presbyterian church to day in advocacy
OF the recognition OF God in the consti-
tuition OF the United States. Rev. II. II.
George OF Beaver Falls. Pa, made short
address. which was followed by u talk by
Rev. I. B. Stevenson OF Philadelphia,
editor OF lctters, including one from Rov.
Joseph Cook. calling attention to the fact
that God is recognized in the declaration
OF Independence. in the constitutions OF
forty OF the states OF the Union. in the
national coinage and by tho Supreme
court, which had declared this to be n
Christian nation.
Mr.. Stevenson argued that the supre-
mncy officially and legally. and contcndcd
for an amendment to the constitution
granting this further recognition.
Rev. w. j. Robbins Of Allegheny, Pa.
pointed out tho danger OF the land from
different influences and newspapers at
tempting to eliminate the Christian spirit
and claimed the right OF the people to
this constitutional amendment.
Rev. David McAlestor OF Allegheny.
replying to Senator Lindsay, said he did
not consider that this would affect the
first amendment to the constitution. He
thought jew could conscientiously sub
scribe to constitution which said: In
Gods appointed way, through Jesus
Christ
Senator Villas asked what would bc tho
effect Of adding after Through Jesus
Christ" the words: "and his vice regent

DIR. McAlestor replied that America
had been founded by the Huguenots and
Protestants.

a neighboring town about sixty miles
distant q natural gas well has recently
been sunk 360 feet which produces an
immense flow Of fine quality OF gas This
same company are going down l, 500 feet,
with every indication of soon producing
flowing oil well. The same conditions
exist on this side of the mountain. Places
can be found whore the earth will burn;
PARTICLES Of oil can be found at the waters
edge of some streams. and it needs but
the drilling machine to bring it to the
surface.
The system Of irrigation of Dslta coun-
ty us yet is not complete, but is well
advanced and in q short time will be
perfected. The Opportunities for irriga-
tion are good, and within short tune all
will be supplied. The natural facilities
are such that it makes it comparatively
easy to convey water up to and over the
most elevated portions of the mesas This
is true OF California, Garnet and Rogers
mesas.
Along the valleys of the Uncompahgre,
Gunnison, North Fork, Smiths Fork,
Muddy, LIE Roux, Tongue and Surface
creeks, there is an abundance OF water
for all purposes. In ldition to this, a
complete system Of reservoirs have been
established along the Grand Mesa, which
afford sufficient water for purposes re-
quired along the valleys or table lands
bordering thereon. The advantages to
be derived from the facilities for procur-
ing abundance OF water throughout the
county is OF incalculablc value, and ono
that should be taken into consideration,
as upon this depends largely the success
OF the toiler.
One of the latest markets which the
valleys west Of the range must supply is
tho Goose Creek gold camp, where the
new town Dubois has been started, and
which will doubtless surpass Cripple
Creek. All these mining camps do bust
ness on cash basis at fabulous prices.
Old fruit growerg claim they can make
money raising fruit at one cent per pound,
and when from four to eight cents per
pound is realized an idea Of the profits
can be realized.
In the consideration OF Dclta's markets
much credit is due TO G. i. Wright, the
leading commission man and his force Of
"hustling" employees. He has brought
Delta county to the front as garden
spot where the thousandss Of thrifty
miners send for fruits and vegetables.
