F0orB1LL HONBONNIERE.
The Newest SOtinn Among the Girls--'
Favors of Every Style.

Evidences Of the football craze are to
be seen on every side. The newest no.
zion that the girls have taken up is the
football bonbonnieres. These are small
receptacles, shaped like the pigskin,
enamelled in college colors, so that the
owner has her choice OF Pennsylvania,
Harvard, Yale or Princeton. In the lid
Of each box is the picture Of football
player in some familiar attitude. Some
girls go so far as to supply their foot
bail bonbonnieres only with sweets
which carry out the color scheme.
The favors ordered for luncheon to
be given by a bright little matron whose
sons are college players include scarf
pins for the gentlemen, enameiled in the
college colors, and for the young ladies
bonbonnieres and yinaigrettes decorated
in the same style. The only difficulty
about such souvenirs is the possibility
Of their receiving cold reception from
those of the guests who might chance to
have an interest in different colors. But
then, of course. that point will be care
fully regarded by tine hostess in making
out her luncheon list

Built in 1901.
Scientific Machlnist. .u..
There is now in the University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, an old
grasshopper engine built by the |. P.
Morris Go. of Philadelphia, in 1916, in
accordance with designs made by Oliver
Evans. On the beam is brass name
plate bearing the inscription, SOLVER
Evans, 1901" the date of his patent.
The engine was in constant service in
the smiths shop Of the above company
until few months since, when it was
presented to the University of Pennsyl-
vania. Although the engine has been
run constantly at its full rated power of
30 horse, the only repair necessary has
been the reboring of the cylinder from
its original diameter of 81 inches to 10
inches.
There are no cross-heads and guides
on the engine, it being provided with
Watts parallel motion, which gives a
travel, at the point where the piston rod
is attached to the beam, in line with the
centre of the steam cylinder.
Projecting from the upper cylinder
head are two standards, to which are
iournaled the ends of two rods, whose
opposite ends are journaled to the beam.
That end of the beam opposite the crank
is held to the bed BY two rods journaled
at each end. Some of the principal
dimensions of the engine are: Shaft, 81
inches in diameter; crank-pin, II inches
in diameter by "a inches long; length of
beam, 6 feet diameter of cylinder, 10
inches; length of stroke, IS inches; floor
space occupied, 8 feet by 2 feet inches.

FINANCi4L REFORM.


Memphis, Tenn. Scimttars -.. 20.
The Scimttdr does not pretend to
know nor presume to point out as with
authority the best way of escape from
our perplexities and troubles in the
matter of our national finances. There
may be more than one way. But it
thinks it knows where the difficulty lies,
and will suggest certain lines of action
which are agreed upon by those who
have given much thought to the subject
as a matter Of practical business and not
politics.
First and foremost, the government
ought to go out of the banking business
and confine itself TO taking care of its
own legitimate concerns. IL is not a
proper function of government TO issue
or supply circulating medium, either
of metal or paper, and certainly not
paper. II should regulate the coinage
of the standard money metal and all its
subseryient adjuncts of inferior coinage,
such as silver, nickel and copper, but
should restrict itself to mere regulation.
There is no duty to buy or otherwise
acquire any quantity of any money
metal to coin, but only to prescribe by
law the regulations which shall govern
the coinage for the people in the gov
eminent mint, of such quantities of
these metals as they may wish to carry
there for coinage under those regula-
tions. The duty of government ends
| there, and the purchase or storage of
money metals as collateral to paper
issues is nonsense, scientifically and eco
nomically considered.
Next, having violated this sound
| ~, ttNln ,,I lNzrf l,sJ
gogues great and small, headed by John
Sherman, Notwithstanding his mastery
| ability and conscious wrong-doing, 10
| purchase huge masses of silver for sense.
less coinage-that blunder should be re-
| paired by eStirpating such coinage from
| the system, except by subsidiary adj
| junGt of the standard coinage, and this
at whatever cost of increase of the public
debt which may be necessary in the
process, to save the individual holders Of
useless silver coinsfrom loss.
Preliminary tothese two reforms the
government should establish an ade.
quate national banking system, to which
should be committed the business and
profit of supplying sound paper credit
circulating medium, always rcdeemablt
in gold, but never redeemed in fact, il
the banking be safe and sound.
Grover Cleveland wants the Demo
cratic party to undertake these reforms
and ii the party be worthy to govern, /
should commit itself to the task, no
necessarily on lines suggested by him
but according to principles of common
sense and the lessons of experience.
Of course, SO long as the government
issues demand notes as circulation, tn
money jobbers can always force it t,
pay gold on demand. They need not g
to the banks, where alone they shout
! get what they want. The remedy is t
find some other currency like that c
well-guardei national banks.

The Wisconsin Central company has
adopted tho same scale OF wages for It's
upper dockmen at Ashland that the
Northwestern has put In force and with
the same result as the latter. Their old
employees refuse to go to work for the
wages offered and the company has
manned its docks with workmen secured
from this city and other range towns.
Their docks are guarded by fifteen
United States deputy marshals under
command OF Jack Cdrkeek, the famous
Cornish wrestler. The Ashland Press
says In regard 10 him:
Deputy United States Marshal Jack
Carkeek has charge Of the forces OF L. S.
deputies that guard the dock and It's
approaches. He is no less a parsonage
than the famous Jack Carkeek. who q
few years ago won the title OF champion
wrestler OF the world. He and his force
Of deputies are from Milwaukee. Tues
days Milwaukee Sentinel contains a long
interview with Carkeek. 1t seems that
he intends to establish himself in the
. law business In Milwaukee, and expects
to go in with law firm there about June
list. Carkeek Is rather good looking
fellow, solidly built, with heavy black
mustache and determined look that
would make any ordinary man clay
down" without any demonstration OF his
physical force"
So far there has. been no disturbance
at either Of the docks and there probably
will be none so long as the armed forces
are maintained but when they are with
drawn the men say there will be trouble.

Terrible Destruction Caused by the
Breaking of n Dam.
Simla, India, Aug. 27.-Gohna lake,
which for some time past has threat
ened to break it's bounds and sweep
down the valley at the head of which
1t lies, has broken the dam which con-
trolled the waters. Thousands of tons
of water poured down through the
valley like cataract. sweeping every
thing before it. Huge boulders were
swept along like pebbles, trees were
uprooted and carried on the breast of
the flood and villages along the valley
were swept out of existence an instant
after the roaring torrent of whitened
waters struck them. The rainfall dur
ing the monsoon has been noticeably
heavy and the lake rose with great
rapidity. The percolation at the time
became very heavy, and the engineers
who examined it decided that its break
age was imminent. To repair it was
impossible, and the government there
fore took steps To prevent any loss of
life when the break came. Elaborate
railway and telegraph arrangements
We're made and when it became known
that the dan: would go out the people
nearest the point of danger were car
ried by the railways 10 places Of safety,
while those further down the valley
were notified to pack up their belong
ings and be prepared to leave their
homes when cflled upon by the govern
ment to do so, The call was soon is
sued and the people were taken away.
So when the flood came the valley was
deserted by everybody. To this wise
foresight of the government is due the
fact that great less of life was not
caused by the floods.

tana.
The well-known circle on the pasture
lands about six miles east of Helena,
near the old overland stage road, and
which has been curiosity and source
of speculation for years. Is identical
with the fairy rings so common in some
parts of England. There were former
ly two of these rings, says the Helena
(Mont) Independent, but one has en-
tirely disappeared within the last few
years. The remaining one is about 200
feet in diameter and forms perfect
circle The ground forming the circle
is about two yards wide and quite des-
titute of vegetation. Many theories
have been advanced as to the cause of
these rings. Some say that it is the re-
suit of lightning; others that herd Of
buffalo, pursued by wolves, stopped and
formed themselves in a circle as a
means Of defending their young, and
thus tramped out the grass. These
rings have attracted the attention Of
scientific men, and recent Investigations
have shown they are the result Of cen
trifugal development of certain kinds
Of fungi, among which is the common
mushroom, which shows a tendency to
grow In this manner The spot where
it has grown is untitled for its contin-
ued nourishment, and the spawn ex-
tends outward to new soil forming the
circle. These rings are common in
eastern Montana, along the Mussel-
shell river, but the one near Helena is
the most perfect in the state.

MANY PEOPLE KILLED
A WIND OF DEATH SWEEPS OVER
A RUSSIAN SEA.
it In Thought That at Least a Thou
sand Persons Have Perinhed-TwO
American Parties Probably Among
the Lost

st. Louis, Aug. 27.-A special cable
gram to the Globe-Democrat from St
Petersburg says: A wind of death. No
other name can describe the cyclone
that swept over the Sea OF Azof yester-
day. 1t will be impossible for days
yet to compute the damage done, but
1t is almost certain that at least 1000
persons have perished, some by drown
ing, others by being crushed under
falling houses and trees. The excite
ment is great among the American
colony in this city, for 1t il feared that
ut least two parties OF American tour
lists were ON the Sea Of Azof at the time
the wind did Its deadly work.
The wind was first felt ut Negaisk
This place is peopled by fishermen, who
were out on the water. When the hur-
ricane had swept out to the north q ter
rible scene was presented. The village
was raZed-overturned as If an i'm
mense plow had pushed through it.
Lying everywhere were women and
children, dead or in the last agonies
The shallow waters of the Sea of Azof
were lashed to such height that it
was plain that every fishing boat must
have been sunk.
The cyclone swept on to the northeast
after wrecking Nogaisk. Its path seems
TO have been unusually wide, for at
Marinopol, it devastated the country to
point eleven miles inland and had fits
outer edge far upon the sea. Marino-
pol was practically blotted out Of ex-
istence. Not three houses in hundred
are left standing.
1t is estimated that over 200 persons
perished in the town alone. North of
Marinopol the storm seems to have
made sudden turn to the eastward
over Dolga Points, its left edge infiict-
ing slight damage to the town of Ber-
diansk Houses there were unroofed
and dozen persons were killed by fall
ing timbers.
Once at sea the storm made its full
fury felt. OF the steamers that touch
ut the port of Berdiansk, not one had
come in at tho hour of the latest report.
Grave fears are expressed that every
craft in the sea has gone to the bottom
and that every passenger is drowned.
When the wind swept over the north
crn end Of Azof 1t took a new course,
going southcrnly along the coast Of the
land Of the Black cossacks. Eisk and
Achuef were ravaged, each town being
almost totally destroyed. Telegraphic
communication with this district is sus-
pended and it is impossible to learn the
extent of the destruction, but at least
1000 persons must have died on the
two shores. The storm as nearly as
can now be learned seemed to suddenly
lose its fury near Temrink and passed
off with comparative quiet southerly
over the Black sea.

DIVORCES ARE ILLEGAL.
Disqufeting Discovery Made in
South Dakota.

Disqufeting Discovery Made I'm
South Dakota.
Sioux Falls, s. D., Aug. PA large
number of Eastern people who had
supposed that they had secured di-
vorce in South Dakota have not done
so, and the decree they are carrying
around so proudly is not worth the
paper it is written on. 1t Is estimated
that nine-tenths of the divorces which
have been granted by Judge Andrews
of Brookings are no good; in fact, no di-
vorce has really been granted to the
applicant, but he or she is still married
to the person from whom they sup
posed they were divorced. In instances
where the supposed divorced person has
again married this is a very serious
matter.
A great many of the Divorces, who
made their home in this city while ac-
quiring their residence, have gone be-
fore Judge Andrews to procure their
DEGREES on account of the leniency he
has always shown to applicants But
it is probable some of them will wish
they had not done so now. In nearly
every case where personal service has
been procured outside of the state
Judge Andrews has allowed a default
decree to be granted in thirty days,
just the same as though service had
been secured within the state This is
directly contrary to the laws of South
Dakota, and therefore the decrees are
perfectly worthless, and none have
been granted. The law in the case is
very plain and shows that it takes sew
enty-two days to procure divorce af-
ter personal service has been procured
outside Of the state, just the same as
though it had been procured by publi-
cation once week for six weeks and
then thirty days more before default
decree can De granted.
