The geyser was discovered last Wednes-
dayin thu canyon leading from Paul

canyon cuts through this rim like a
crevice or crack, which il undoubtedly
is, in what was onoe a solid wall. The
canyon Is narrow, and tho walls in
places aro 2, 600 feet high.
The geyser was discovered by two
cattle herders, who were out looking for
water for their stock, as about this time

Ia a conversation with Mr.. DAVIS said:
1.-THE individual cup idea Is q most

the physicians Of the country did not
recommend this before to the people, for
the old system is an evil that should be
corrected.
The Fourth Baptist church Is not

movement in Philadelphia, but also IA
Pennsylvania. A paper which is pub

ers defend the photographer and his
model on the broad and liberal ground

Masterman, tho subject, is q Mason
and an Odd Fellow and has q striking
personality. He is tall, spare, angular
and awkward in his movements. His
long red, shaggy, flowing hair and red
unkempt whiskers, beard and mustache
give him a leoEine appearance. He is
80 years old, single and lives upon his
fathers farm on the outskirts of New
London. His father Is a German and
his mother an Ohioan. His brother is
cashier of the Gibsonburg bank. During
the Worlds fair Masterman had charge
of the waterfowl exhibit and contracted
a severe cold. By the advice Of his

Early in April, 1897, the people Of
Austria demanded peace with France.
Negotiations were begun in tho vicinity
of Leoben. Bonaparte, in an interview
with the Austrian plenipotentiaries,
said 10 them, Your government has
sent against me four armies without
generals, and this time a general with
out an army. In the treaty which the
Austrian commissioners projected the
first article stipulated that the emperor
Of Austria thereby recognized the
French republic. Erase it, exclaimed
Napoleon. 1.-The existence Of the repnb-

Is only lit for tho blind. We are our

might object that he had recognized O

settled, Napoleon signing for France,
thus placing himself on an equal foot

formal treaty known as Campo Formio
was signed IN October, 1897, Austria
fulfilling the pledges she had already
given. The Austrian plenipotentiary
protested against the distribution OF the
provinces beyond the Adige. Napoleon
