Health.Givtng Perfumes.

There seems to be, undoubtedly is,
something positively health-and nour-
ishment-and Strengthening in the in
huence of sweet and powerful perfumes
on the nerves-a subtle something yet
unexplained. What we get of most
value in the country, physicians and
philosophers say, are the sweet smell
of grass and flower and tree. 1t is not
chiefly the spirits, the alcohol, in
cologne that invigorates 1t is the
essence of aromatic oils. The delight
that rose gives to everybody is due
to some mysterious stimulus the rose
fragrance has for the nerves. Half
the delight in walking in old lanes in
the country comes from the invisible
trailing streamers and floating clouds
of flower incense in the air.
A freshman in a college in the city
was anxious to mail a letter. Having
been told to drop it into the red box
at the corner, he hurried out Of the
building and ran down the street.
He saw red box, but could find no
opening in which to put his letter.
He searched for any possible direction
on the box, and noticed in large letters,
''Ring twice."
He rang twice and waited to see
what would happen, expecting door
to fly open into which he could drop
the letter. Suddenly an open buggy
dashed up, and a man in blue uni
form jumped out.
"Where is it?" he demanded.
"Here it is, thank you," said the
freshman. "Please mail it at once."
The fire-captain looked at the letter
and then at the retreating Students
figure. Then he dropped the letter
into the box across the street, reported
the alarm false, and went back to the
station.

The combination of lake and rail lines

trouble Is coming again upon the
Western Passenger association, and the
chances are that it will have large

AtchlsOn will at once give notice of
withdrawal FROM the excursion agree

count. The lines which are requested

Burlington, the Alton and the Union
Pacific. This notice of the Atchison
means substantially that the entire ex-

will be thrown overheard, and Il general
scramble for excursion business will re-
suit in wholesale decentralization of
rates as result. Chairman Caldwell
is doing his utmost to keep the trouble
from becoming serious, but there is
small chance of his success. as several

CAMBRIDGE, o., June 7.-Adjt. Gen.
Howe. with 1909 men, arrived at 10 a.
in. on a special train. They proceeded
at once to Scott's mines, on Mineral
siding, four miles east of Cambridge,
where no resistance was shown by the
miners, who had taken to the woods to
avoid summons injunction proceedings.
The trains that had been held up there
for two days were found to he i'll bad

she IS A DANDY CRUISER.
THE VIEW SHIP MINNEA POLLS MADE A
SPLENDID RECORD.
SUPERIOR TO THE COLUMBIA.

She Did Better Than Her Sister
Ship on the Preliminary Trip
The Crew Numbered 4O7 Men
Official Trial Comes Off in
July Near the New England
Coast.
PHILADELPHIA. June THE new
United States cruiser Minneapolis re-
turned at O'clock tonight from her pre-
iiminary trial trip. The big cruiser
acquitted herself most ereditabiy, prov
ing herself the equal in every way, if
not the superior, of hsr sister ship, the
Columbia. While it is true that The
Minneapolis did not equal the
record OF 22.S7 knots an hour
made by the Columbia on her
official trip. she did better than
did her sister ship on the preliminary
trip of the latter. the speed OF the Min
neapolis being 2l.95 knots. while that of
the Columbia was but 20.95. This was
accomplished in spite of the fact that
the new ship had to burn anthracite
coal, which is regarded as a handicap.
AS result Of this trial it is freely pre-.
dicted that the Minneapolis will make
at least % knots on her official trial
trip.
The Minneapolis sailed from the ship
yard OIL the morning of last Tuesday,
proceeding down the Delaware to the
Dreakwater. which she reached about
O'Clock in the afternoon. On the way
down the bay her conduct was such as
to raise tine expectations of those Oh
board to tine highest possible pitch
Her engines. after eight hours of con-
slant motion. were not heated, nor was
screw or nut loose in the entire enor-
nous mass of machinery. Her runs
Tuesday were as follows: First run
north. speed developed. 1914 knots an
hour; first run south, 20 so; second run
north. 20.52; second run south. 20.52;
third run north. 21.54; third run south,
81 .04; fourth run north, 2l.26; fourth
run south. 2l.70.
Early this morning anchor was weigh
ed. and she steamed straight Out TO sea,
distance of about fifty miles. Then
she turned, and at 10 o'clock started
back for the breakwater again. Now
she was under forced draught The
oiioi % NOlC " lGlC
of li6 revolutions per minute. and
when at $50 she pulled up again
at Cape Henlopen, Capt. Sargent said
she had only made 2l.75 knots an hour.
She had done this, he added. in water
the mean depth of which is sixteen
fathoms. and can do better i'll deeper
water. The record made by the Columbia
on her preliminary trial was 2O.9S
knots, SO that the Minneapolis has
beaten it albeit three-quarters of knot
and still has something up her sleeve.
In horse power. too. she excels the
Columbia. having developed 2OS90,
while that of the Columbia is about
$4,000. After passing Capt. HenIouen
the steamer steamed up the Delaware,
reaching her berth at the shipyard at
o'clock.
The crew which manned the Mime
apoliS on her trip numbered 407 men.
The maximum revelations of the shafts
were l3S to the minute. She burned
almost 400 tons of broken coal, and the
highest pressure was l60 pounds 10 the
inch. The new cruiser will have her
official trial some time between the 1st
and 18th of July, probably off the New
England coast.

WHERE THE FIGURES CAME
FROM.

The immaculate Pioneer Press grows
excited over the figures Mayor Smith
presented in his message concerning
the city debt, aud declares the state
ment to be damaging Democratic
libel"
When Mayor Smith was preparing
his message he asked the city comptrOl-
Ter for statement of the city debt. In
reply the comptroller sent him the fol-
lowing note:
OFFICE OF THE CITY COMPTROLLER.
ST. PAUL. May q. 1894. Hon. Il. A.
Smith-Dear Sir: Enclosed please find
memorandum statement asked for. If
not as complete as you desire, please

the same. Respectfully.
j. j. MCCARDY. City Comptroller.
Mayor Smith used the figures exactly
as given him by Mr.. McCardy, and eX-
planned that under the charter the tax
levy certificates would be met, thereby
reducing the amount named until some
more certificates. authorized by the same
glOritied charter, were issued.

cuse its pet comptroller of being guilty

FARGO. N. D., June 7.-Investigation
the grand lodge of North Dakota for
alleged misappropriation of funds con-
tributed to Odd Fellows who were
burned out in the big Fargo fire Of June
Z. 1898. ended OH the anniversary OF the
conilagration by virtual exoneration of
the local lodge. Such is the grand
lodges action taken to mean, it putting
off consideration of the matter for one
year. Representatives Of several out
present, and urged the forfeiture of
Fargo lodges charter or the refunding
of money received by contribution.
Maj. A. w. Edwards represented the
Fargo lodge. Today's action decides a
case which has vexed members of the
order all over the Northwest. in which
grand lodges of at least three states
have taken action by resolution. Local
lodge members who lost by the fire of
last year signed an agreement 10 turn
all cash contributions received into the
temple fund for the erection of a new
lodge building to replace the one
burned. The Odd Fellows Review, of
st. Paul. brought the matter up. ant
charged that Fargo lodge was using the
fire as means for securing new tenn
pie at the expense of outside lodges.
The local lodge replied that it was no
crime for needy members to sacrifice to
the order money which they would
otherwise pocket" ami thus the mat
ter stood until today's action decided it
for year presumably, but in reality. it
is thought, finally.

PEORIA, H.. June There is still
the widest excitement throughout
Peoria and Tazewell counties. though
no additional trouble has occurred.
Few of the strikers have to-day visited

village at the Little Mine is quiet and
deserted. The people moved out en-
masse last night aud came to Peoria for
protection. 1t is thought they will re-
turn tomorrow. when active steps will
be taken toward the rebuilding of the
burned shaft
1t will be i, number of weeks, how
ever, before operations can DE resumed.
William Dickson, the eolored mau shot
during the riot, died to-day His kill

one of those IN the tower who sur

ground. the miners prepared TO wreak
vengeance on him OH account of his
color. AS tine only means of protect.

the hill, and was closely pursued by
fully fifty of the strikers. all firing at

dead. Coroner Hoefer will hold an in
