4 Temple Made From a Single Stone.

Mayalipmam, India, has seven of the most remarkable temples in the world,
 each of these unique places of worship having been fashioned from solid granite powders. Some idea of their size and the task of chiseling out the interior may be gleaned from the fact that the smallest of the seven is 24 feet high. IT feet long and 12 feet wide Travellers who have carefully examined them are of the opinion that it took centuries of work to carve these graceful edifices from native rock.-St. Louis Republic

to Generate EleetrieIty Prom City Ref

By refuse" is meant the contents of dust bins. slOps, road sweepings, etc. A Frenchman has invented a combina- tion of boilers, fiues and steam produc- ing apparatus that will burn refuse at a cost of shilling a ton. The steam gen. erated by burning the street swecpings and the contents of dust bins of a large city will be sufficient to run dynamOs enough to light the city, so the lighting would cost almost nothing. This has been tried in a small village near LOn- don, and it has been estimated that LOn- don can light itself at scarcely any cost and save the usual expenditure of rid ding the city of its refuse

IT appears that the woman suftra6ists Tn New York have not given up the contest on account of their failure to carry their point in the constitutional convention. They will now push their campaign in the state legislature. If an amendment of the electoral law giving woman the right to vote shall be passed by two successive legislatures, it will be binding as a consti- tutional provision as long as the law shall stand. although subsequent legislatures might repeal it. Encouraged by the un- expected manifestations of popular favor during the canvass made before the as- semblage of the constitutional convention the friends of woman suffrage propose from this time forth to continue the struggle until success shall crown theil efforts. The refusal of the convention tc submit the question to popular vote i: not deemed fair treatment.

There is no doubt that Secretary Lamont would make a strong candidate-perhaps stronger than any man who has been mentioned in coDnec- ton with the nomination. except ex- Secretary Whitney. and the impression is that he will not accept-because. like Whitney, he would be acceptable to the two factions into which the party in New York is unfortunately divided. he having managed 10 keep the good will of them all

MRS. BYERS'S STORY.
Her Long Search for Her Kidnapped
Millionaire Husband.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept 19.-Mrs. F. NJ.
Byers, wife of the millionaire manufact-
urer of this city, to-day filed a sensational
petition in court asking for the custody
of her husband and his estate. A COM
missioner was appointed to take testimony.
Mrs. Byers, in her petition, tells a most
sensational story. She says she has been
married twenty-five years. About two
years ago, b. Shields, an employe Of A.
M. Byers, her brother-in-law kidnapped her
husband and took him to Chicago, where
he was placed in the custody of DR.. l..
w. Tallman. The latter took Byers to
Duluth, and then to St. Paul, where he
was placed in hotel under the charge of
Eva Dilty. a trained nurse. Mrs. Byers
located her husband on Aug. y. 1893. The
party, including Mrs. Byers. then returned
to Chicago. Here, she alleges, morphine
was surreptitiously administered by DR..
Tallman, and while she was unconscious
her husband was. again carried off. Byers
was then taken from place to place, gen.
orally outside the United States, covering
altogether about 10000 miles. Mrs. Byers
her husband and finally located him in
Japan. She sent her agent, Samuel Boyd,
for her husband and they returned to San
Francisco. Here they were met by DIR.
Tallman, who endeavored to regain pos
session OF Byers. Finally, on July 80, 1884,
an agreement was signed by all the in
should return to Pittsburg without any in
reference with Boyd. At st. Joseph By
ers was taken from the train on writ
remanded into Boyd's custody. A few
hours later. Mrs Byers alleges. H. B.

took him to Chicago, where trace of him
was lost A few days ago Mrs. Byers

VIEWS OF A sTRATEGIsT.
Tactics of japanese Praised by Col.
j. +. Maurfc.

LONDON, Sept. 1s.-Col. j. F. Mauric
of the Royal Artillery, the well-known
strategist and tactician in command of the
Royal Artillery at Colchester. in an inter
view to-day, referring to the battle fought
at the mouth of the Yula river between the
fleets of China and Japan, said: 1T is too
early to get forecast Of the results of
the battle fought in the gulf of Corea- IL
the japanese admiral has been abe TO de-
feat the Chinese so decisively as to par
alyze the Chinese naval operations the way
is clear for Japan TO descend on Pekin
But We must remember tnat the Chinese
at the mouth of the Yalu river were ham
pered with transports, while the japanese
had freer action If Japan has scored
great naval victory II Is urgently neces-
sary to follow II UP Immediately and crush
the Chinese fleet. Doubtless japan has a
complete plan of campaign, including a
march upon Pekin. This is evidenced by
Marshal Yamagata's brilliant campaign
His tactics would have been creditable to
any Western general. His strategy is of
the order OF the war of 1856 and represents
changes, have introduced since telegraphs
have come into use. Marshal Yama ia =
movements were absolutely not limited at
until victory was achieved.
1t is quite on the cards for the Japanese
commander to make an immediate dash
tai of the Manchurian dynasty and Is quite
worth capturing. This would involve crush
ing the remainder of the Chinese army
south of Manchuria, which must number.
many thousands: But there is no doubt
would be easily defeated and / should not
be astonished IL the next three weeks see
all the Chinese driven out Corea.

APPEALS OF ODD FELLOWS.
Cases Heard and Decided by the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 19.-At the
business session of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, this morning, the
reports of the committee on appeals were
taken up. One case was the appeal of
Peninsula Lodge, No. 8. VS.. the Grand
Lodge of Michigan. The lodge expelled
member after trial without giving him
copy Of the report of the trial committee
and permitted a member who was a sworn
witness against the accused to be one of
the trial committee. The Grand Lodge of
Michigan declared that these two features
OF the case were fatal to the lodge, and
sustained the appeal The Sovereign Grand
Lodge affirmed the action of the Michigan
Grand Lodge.
On question arising in an appeal of E.
r. Shipley VS.. the Grand Lodge of Missouri
the committee reported that past grands,
having had one opportunity to vote, are
stopped from any further exercise OF the
right Of suffrage.
The appeal Of Sc Kendall from the Grand
Lodge of Nevada was a case where a noble
grand set aside ballot for representative
when Kendall had received fourteen and
Leepar ten votes In the second ballot
Kendall received ten and Leepar sixteen
votes. The appellant claimed the election
on the first ballot. The appeal was sus-
Still another case was the appeal Of Day.
ton Lodge, Nc. 273, VS.. Grand Lodge of
Ohio The lodge adopted a bylaw, which
the Grand Lodge refused to approve on the
ground that the same did not provide that
the weeks of sickness for which benefits
were to be paid should be consecutive. The
committee of this body declared 1t to be
unquestioned that State Grand Lodge
may regulate and control the definite and
particular amount of benefits to be paid by
it's subordinates but to accomplish this the
law furnished to subordinates must be def
mite and specific to the amount to be
paid. This is predicated on the idea that
the minimum benefit law will be observed
