with those of Massachusetts, may be
seen by reference to the last census
figures of this state. which make the
number of families having Il or more

ANOTHER ARCTIC FAILURE.
A Scientific Expedition Comes to Grief
The Ship Abandoned and Passengers Lose
Everything.

A Scientific Expedition Comes to Grief
The Ship Abandoned and Passengers Lose
Everything.
NORTH SIDNEY. c. B., Sept. 6-The
schooner Rigel, of Gloucester, Mass, ar
rived here yesterday with the crew and
passengers of the steamer Miranda,
which left New York July : with DIR.
f. A. Cooks Arctic excursion. One of
the members of the party was Prof.
Dyche, of the Kansas state university.
August the Miranda struck rock
near Sukkertoppen, west Greenland,
and was abandoned in sinking condi
ton August 90 in Davis strait.
After repairing the damage sustained
by the iceberg collision of duly II, the
Miranda left st. Johns, New foundland,
July 90, and proceeded directly to
Greenland. Much ice and fog were I'M
expectedly encountered off Cape Fare
well. At one time the vessel came
near being nipped in the flies, the ris-
ing of fog disclosing ice all around.
Considerable apprehension was felt by
the officers and there were visions of
fate of the Jeanette and Proteus eX-
petitions as the Miranda vas totally
unfit to cope with Arctic navigation.
Finally thin place in the foes was
found and the ship driven through.
The southwest coast of Greenland was
so blocked with ice that no landing
could be made until August Z, when
members of the expedition reached
Sukkertoppen.
After leaving this port on the morn
ing of August for Disco the vessel had
proceeded about miles at full speed
when she struck with tremendous
force on hidden reef. The steward,
John Farrell, was struck by a trunk
and injured. The ice lifted the ship
and let her down with crash that
made her creak from end to end and
she was soon seen to be settling. The
boats were lowered and everything
made ready to leave her.
The passengers lost all their baggage
except the clothing worn when they
went on board the Rigel at Suklsertop-
pen.

WHEAT AND GLOVER.
Reports Covering Seven States That Raise
Winter Wheat.

Winter Wheat.
TOLEDO. O.. Sept. I0.-During the past
four days c. a. King &c Co. have re-
ceived replies from 3.O57 reliable deal
ers and millers. They cover almos
every important wheat and cloverseet
county in Ohio, Michigan. Indiana.
Kentucky, Illinois, Kansas and Mis-
souri,. These states raise most of the
cloverseed crop and two-thirds of the
winter wheat crop, or nearly one-half
OF the entire wheat crop of the United
States.
Kansas will feed the largest percent
age: Michigan nearly as much; Mis-
souri, next, then Ohio and kentucky.
while Indiana and Illinois viii feed
smaller percentage. Two hundred and
ten reports from all says per cent. less
of the crop will be fed; 80 say 3 to ;
per cent 42s, 5 to 10 per cent; 544. 10
to 10 per cent; 446 from II to 20 per
cent; 196 from 20 TO - per cent: 532
from a quarter to third: los from n
third to a fifth, and $40 from fifth to
a half.
Nearly all say farmers have sold
more freely than usual; 1856 replies
say they will hold the remainder of
their crop, partly to feed and partly
for higher prices; 3s5 say about half
continue selling, and sos say they are
still selling freely. Indiana and Illi-
nois farmers are more disposed to sell,
while Michigan farmers are firmly
holding.

AT THIRTY.EIvE.
Woman When at the Height of Her Per-
sonal Charm.

Woman When at the Height of Her Per.
sonal Charm.
In reality, at thirty-five a woman is
still pausing at the height of her per-
sonal charm. She gained the height
perhaps seven or eight years before,
but if she has been careful of herself,
has had small experience of sorrow and
pain and apprehension, has not had too
hard work for mind or body, has had
but little illness, has kept her temper
and spared herself worry, she has not
fairly begun the descent; or if she has,
then there is slight pathetic charm
about her, as about the golden tarnish
of rose that drops its first petal, but
is still rose.
For into the beauty of twenty, grad
ually unfolding and expanding up to
twenty-five or twenty-six, the soul I'M
folding and expanding too, has in
filtered a new quality, one which is
wanting to youth except in extra
ordinary instances, and this beauty of
spirit and of intellect has been added
to beauty of flesh with ever increasing
power. And then just as the contours
begin to yield, and the beauty of the
flesh assumes a doubtful part, when
diet and exercise and mas 81 re and
sleep, and the right colors, and not too
much light, all have been carefully
considered, and veil is needed to hide
the fine lines when in the sun-and if
Betty gives 1.-The cheek a touch of red"
and the hair touch of gold powder,
it is not our affair to know of it, nor
does it diminish the fascination she I'M
consciously eXerts-then, if she has i'm
proved the years, comes the second
stage-the stage of a superior captiva-
ton to that exercised by the mere
feshly beauty. 1t is in the years of
this period that unconsciously and I'M
willingly women charm men much
younger than themselves, and always
men of rather extraordinary intellect
ual power, into proposals of marriage.
At this time woman understands
herself, and knows how to balance and
counterbalance the circumstances of
the world about her. She has prob
ably read many books; she has seen
many people; if she amounts to any
thing worth considering she has tact
and skill and ease of manner, she has
learned something of the intricacies of
human nature and of the secrets of the
heart: she has learned how to render
not only herself but her surroundings
attractive; she is no longer exacting;
she makes people near her comfort
able; she puts them into conceit of
themselves-thati nexplicably pleasant
mood. And people seek her presently
for the sake of being comfortable. and
for the delightful atmosphere that her
presence seems to create; men admire
her, women adore her, young people
follcv her; she is social power, and
Is of more weight and consequence
than any young person not upon
throne-for although she live to three
score and ten. her throne is upon mems
hearts-Harper's Bazaar.

NO SORGHUM SUGAR.

The Factories in Kansas VIII Cease Oper-
ations on Account or the New Tariff.
FORT SCoTT, Kan, sept S.-There are
but two sorghum sugar factories in the
state and neither of them will make
any sugar this year. One is at Medi-
cine Lodge and the other in this city.
The latter made over 10000 pounds
of sugar last season and claimed
over $1,000 of bounty. The former
made less than 100000 pounds, ow-
ing to a failure of the cane crop.
This year both factories We're con-
templating an unprecedented out
put, as the cane crop is exceptionally
good, but it is being worked into sor-
ghum and shipped out, the managers
claiming that the sugar duty does not
enhance the price of sugar sufficiently
to make sugar as profitable as sorgum.

Resolutions Proposed and Papers Read Be-
fore the Irrigation Congress.
DENVER, Col, Sept. 6.-In the na-
tional irrigation congress yesterday
resolutions were introduced requesting
that congress pass n strict law for the
preservation of the forests; favoring
the ceding by the government
to the states and territories
all the arid lands within their
borders. never to pass out of their pos
session, and to be allotted to settlers in
small tracts on terms to be determined
by the states and territories; asking
that the waters of interstate streams
be apportioned along the various states
and territories by the government, and
that priority of right be considered to
some extent; the Carey act ceding l.
OOO 600 acres of land to each of the arid
states and territories was approved.
A paper was read by w. w. Follett,
civil engineer of Denver, on The
Underflow of Waters of the Great
Plains" He graphically described the
underflow of the west, and particularly
in Colorado and Kansas, and arrived at
the conclusion that the sheet water
underhow of the arid regions was not
supplied by the melting snow in the
mountains so much as from streams
and rain fall. and was not strong
enough to diminish to any great ex-
tent the supply of water for irrigation
purposes.

THE FOREST FIRES.
Strong Probability That They Were the
Work of Lumber Thieves.

Strong Probability That They Were the
Work of Lumber Thieves.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept. 9.-There are
strong intimations that the state SEN
atorial committee, which has for
months been investigating the frauds
against the state in the cutting of pine
from school lands, will be able to show
not only that the timber pirates" APP
propriated millions of dollars worth
of lumber belonging to the state. but
in trying to cover up their stealings
they started the fires which have re-
suited in the terrible loss of life and
property in Pine, Kanabec Carlton and
other counties in the pine belt.
The charge is that the lumbermen
have fired the pine remnants on the
lands which they improperly cleared
to render measurement of stumpage
impossible and thereby shut off any
suits which the commission might at
tempt to bring against them.
A man employed by the commission
to ferret out cases of lumber thieving
declares that he has secured sworn evil
dence that millions of feet of lumber
had been stolen and that as soon as it
had been cut the lumbermen had in
structed their employees to burn the
ground over and make a good. clean
job of it, This is possible explana-
ton of most of the fires that have
swept this region.
The fires have spread over 1000
square miles of country, have destroyed
nobody can tell how many hundreds of
human lives. and $4,000, 900 worth of
property. Whether or not it can he
proved that these fires grew out of the
little ones kindled by ''tim5er pirates"
there is loud demand all through the
pine country that the manner of cut
ting timber be severely regulated.

TRADE REVIEW.
The Government Crop Report Will Fore
shadow a Loss of Corn-Business Outlook
Somewhat Like an April Day.

Oh
Somewhat Like an April Day.
New YORK, Sept. s.-R. G. Dun IL
Co. S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The business outlook is much like an April
day, with alternate clouds and sunshine. In
some branches strong improvement still con-
tinues, while in others trade is diminishing.
Strikes lessen for the time the working force
perhaps as much as it is otherwise increased
by the strike of garment makers, which spreads
so rapidly that an early end is considered GER
tain. while the strikes in cotton mills have ad-
vanced prices 50 much that a settlement is
thought not distant.
The government crop report is expected to
foreshadow a great loss in corn, while other OBJ
servers believe reports materially exaggerat-
ed, and estimates Of the yield range all the way
from 1,50l 10000 to l,7000)0,O9l. This uncer
tainty fleets business prospects to some eX-
tent and an advance of q cent the past week

last year, and yet the price advanced Z cent.
although Atlantic exports were only l,l5S,G7i
bushels, against 2,ll1,6H bushels last year.
Pork advanced - cents per barrel and lard
- cents per 100 pounds, as smaller estimates OF
the corn supply were entertained. The first
bills against spot cotton of the new crop have
appeared, and the financial Chronicle esti-
mates the yield at 5000)) to 1000 O0) bales, its
record of last years crop being 7.527,21I bales,
though late in the year some prophets pre-
dicted only 10000 bales To all appearances
the Few crop will exceed the maximum worlds

ERRORS IN PRONUNCIATION.
Common Mistakes s;ade in Placing the

Common Mistakes Made in Placing the
Accent and as to Vowels.
Why should so MANY persons say
spontanighity instead of spontaneeity?
There is no excuse for saying ap-pricot
for apricot. or eck-qua5le for &C.
quable, or ERIN for Erin, or asafid-
ity for asafetiGa, or Ven-zu-ee-la for
Ven-e-zu-el-a. or Adon-is short o) for

tlong al, or mat-tron or patron,
and so on. 1t is Just as easy to &C
cent the last syllable as the first in
'-pretense." Some persons call bomb
''boom" instead of bum" because the
spelling seems to warrant it, but when
they call tedious 'tejus" they have no
such apparent warrant. In the west
and south the Il" in isolate is made long
and nearly everywhere educated per-
sons say trEck-u-lent for true-cu-lent,
a-men-able for a-meen-able, lev-Ver for
lee-ver, and give the sound of ''u'' in
up instead of - in it in such words as
squirrel, stirrup and strip. There are
many words in which the accent is per-
sistently misplaced by persons who
know better. II is common to put the
accent on the second syllable of per-
emptory instead of on the first, on
the first instead of the second syl-
Liable of coquetry, on the second in
stead of the first syllable of exemplary.
etc. Many place the accent on the
first instead of the second syllable of in
quiry and do not give the - its proper
length. The accent on gladiolus shoIld
be on the second syllable. with a long
Il but many place it on the third.
They say hymcen-e-al. with the accent
on the ''meen," when it should be ny
mee-ne-al. with the accent on the NEE"
The exasperating thing about it is that
some of these persons who are so care
less about common words take utmost
pains to learn how to pronounce Bou-
guereau, and are convulsed when
they hear anyone mispronounce Chopin
and Beethoven. Recently they broke
