Sufrereins in Newfoundland.

ST. JOINS, n. F.. Jan. 13.-The Of
ficers of the mail steamer Virginia
Lake. which arrived here to-day, re-
port intense destitution along the nor
thern coast of Newfoundland. The
steamer recently carried five hundred
barely o. -four to the north for dis
tribution among the needy families,
but as this amount is totally lnadequ-
ate to meet the widespread starvation
existing there the Government will
dispatctl her again tomorrow with an
otker supply, this being the last oop-
portunity for sending relief to the IN
habitants of those parts until next
April From now until that time
they will have to support themselves
as best they can At to-day's services
in all the churches many references
were made by the preachers to the
necessity of their parishloners
Immediately donating money,
clothing or food for the relief of
their impoverished brethren, and at
tention was called to the fact that the
resources of the local committees on
relief will be exhausted this week un
less more generosity is exhibited by
citizens.

both in cheese factories and creamerle:
is to prorate the proceeds according
to the amount of butter fat contained
in the milk furnished by each patron
which makes as fair and satisfactory
u division as would making up the
milk of each patron separately.
| have before me a copy of the ag
ricultural statistics Of the province o1
Ontario for 1892 and from it learn
that the gross value of the product OF
100 pound nearly u gallons of milk
was:

The comparison iSuseful in SHOWN g
how desirable tits to be able to change
readily from butter to cheese making
and vice versa.
Take the case of creamery. 1nsum-
mer, when butter is plentiful it is not
wise to force more goods upon an
overstocked market. nor'to store large
quantities Of butter to compete with
freshly made butter later, but to make
cheese. The milk from which one
pound of butter is made will make
two and half pounds of cheese,
which will sell at 80 cents at least. 4
factory manager needs to make both
edges cut and either way according to
the demands of the market.
\ 500 COW factory for the manufac-
ture of butter and cheese can be built
and equipped for S3, 900 Or So, 500.
The extension of dairying in its
broadest sense will aid in the diversi-
fcation of agriculture. will increase
the direct income of the farmer, and
improve the productivenes of his farm.
The farmers of an exclusively cotton
growing district, where every few
COWS are kept can not, of course inn
mediately revolutionize their methods
and commence dairving upon a CO.
operative basis. They can however,
gradually build up productive herds
as they are able to grow the feed for
these at home. With a few modern
dairy appliances the butter can be put
up in an attractive form. which, when
fresh, Will bring the top
price in the market.
No effort has been made to paint a
gorgeous picture of the possibilities Of
the dairy industry, or to induce those
not qualified by natural fitness and
to lay hold of it in hope of
salvation.
In a creamery farmer can reckon
on getting the same price for his but
ter as good dairy butter brings in the
market without the labor OF making
and marketing it. Then it is probable
that a creamy, by the use of improved
will make from one-ffth
to one-quarter more butter from the
same amount of milk than the pro-
ducts of the milk could have done.
Success will follow persistent effort;
and, as the operations of dairy en-
terprise are extended the difference
between the cost and the selling price
of the product will be increased, bring
ing prosperity to the farmers, which
will reflect upon all other classes Of
the community. J. W. H.

Great Mine Horror.

LONDON. Jan. 10 Throughout the
night relays Of men have worked des-
s,A:aatAls al tho niAl9lSa colGerY. Aud
lev, North Stafordshire, where large
number of miners were entomoed
about noon Monday by a sudden rush
ofiwater; from the old workings. BY
5 B. M. $50 men and boys employed IN
the mines had been rescued: 1t was
thought that 20 were in the lower
workings when the mine was flooded,
and that they We're drowned. From
the time the disaster was slgnalled,
the rescue,.s have been doing their ut
most to save those who may remain
alive and recover the bodies of the
drowned. The work of rescue, how.
ever, has not made much progress and
it is now believed that there are still
between 80 and 120 men and boys III
the mine. The sorrow stricken wives,
daughters and other relatives OF the
men have heen gathered
around the pithead ever since the
news Of the disaster reached them.
They have been patiently facing the
bitter cold wind since the accident and
many of.the men have been without
/ food since that time. All of them
brought dry clothes for the men, and
they Stand in groups hoping and pray
ing for the safety of those dearto them;
The water SO constantly huctuates that
the rescuers are well nigh discouraged.
They found the bottom of the shaft
choSed with piles of timber swept
there by the torrents of water which
poured into the mine. The greatest
fearis expressed that the waters will
so undermine the galleries that there
will be a cave in. The rescuers work
with difficulty, standing in four feet
lof water. and only Is yards progress
was made during the night; Hun
dreds of miners have arrived at the
i:Diglake colliery from other collieries
and they all volunteer to go down
land assist in the work of rescue: -Four
gangs of men are thus supplied to so
Edown every time.

Sounds Like Siberia.


COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. ia case
of kidnapping and cruelty, which ri
walls the tales or Siberian cruelties,
came to DR.. Testers attention yester-
day and all Will doubtless agree with
him, when he says it is case which
the authorities should sift to the bot

Yesterday morning. The patient was
Henry King, a very small colored boy,
AN orphan, who had lived with friends
of his parents at the corner of Bland

became an orphan, up to the day that

October. On that day the lad went
down to see the circus tents, and dis
appeared as completely as if the earth
had opened and swallowed him up.

morning, when the little fellow, a hor-
rible sight to gaze upon, staggered
along till he got in front of his erSt-

There he was found and taken IN
doors. The child was starved nearly
to death. He was mere shadow. He
was barefooted and ragged and his
feet and legs were in fearful condi-
ton. Both had been frostbitten and
were horribly swollen, seeming about
about to burst open. Several OF his
toes were about to drop off. DR.. Les

them at once. DR.. Lester, as soon as
he saw the child, had him removed at
once to the colored hospital. The lit
tie fellow said he did not run away
last October. He says while he was
looking at the tents big negro wo-
man came up and seized him, taking
him with her over in the country IN

him there ever since making him work

LABOR SIDE.

LABOR SIDE.
Elliot Clark. treasurer of the Boot
Company. said to me today: The
fact is we can no longer make plain
sheetings and drills at a profit in the
North Against 81 per ton for coal
in the South. we must pay 81 to 81 80.
The climate down there is milder, and
it does not require so much coal to
heat the mills. The manufacturers
there can buy their cotton off the mar
ket wagon. We must pay freight and
brokerage, giving them an advantage
of one cent per pound on the raw cot
fon, which by itself is a fair profit for
mill making coarse yarn goods.
The labor. too, costs 60 per cent of
what it does here and down there the
taxation is not quite one-half what it
is in Lowell.
These are some of the main reasons
why we cannot manufacture the sheet
ing and drilling in the North in COM
petition with the South.
The labor there. while cheap, is of
a very fine class. All the female help
in the mills down there are farmers
daughters. who are glad to work for
small wages. which seem large to
them, as they are not accustomed to
money as we are here AS the negroes
do not work in the cotton mills down
there, the white people are quite will
ing to take up that form Of work.
These Southern girls are strong,
quick to l"rn and glad to be in the way
of earning some money.
Reports Of production from good
Southern mills show that the machin
cry as rule is run little faster than
in the North and the goods are of ex-
cellent quality. which is the best proof
Of the efficiency of the labor IA the

III Enoch Arden had only returned 90
find his wife unmarried las might have
been as happy IA man as william j. Can-
non--Bill Cannon, soldier, scout, path
hndcr--is today. Adventures and ro-
mancos weave around each other Ike vines
from seeds planted In the samo hill. Here
n IA story that might DO told In volume:
A min "A years Of ago the other day ap-
piled for marriage license. What was
more, he wanted To marry his own wife.
The man who proposes TO remarry his
own wife mt "a IN not u whit less remark
able himself than tho project he has In
view. Bill Cannon was frontiersman,
Indian fighter, government scout, friend
Of KE Carson, James Beckwith, "Wild
BILL" James Bowie and the rest Of that
band Of indomitable fighters who led the
vanguard Of civilization westward In the
forties and hftios. No man ever had a more
romantic story. In tho Mexican war he
served with distinction, and at Its close
became government scout and interpret
or, acting as escort to the long trains Of
emigrants that stretched away across the
plains toward the land Of gold.
Finally he was married and settled down
In Kansas City. That was In the early sew
enties, when Kansas City was genuine
frontier outpost. In 1875 his old restless
ness came upon him, and no pined for
room. He sought 1t In tho Rockies. He
left his wife In Kansas City and Mt first
wrote to her occasionally. But Bill Can
mons fingers, nimble enough with the
trigger, were all too clumsy with the pen,
and the letters became more and more like
angels visits and then ut last ceased com
ing altogether.
Mrs. Cannon waited and waited and
wondered. Then she thought that Bill
was dead. But after time rumors came
TO her that told her she was wrong. Bill
Cannon was as much alive as ever. He
was only neglecting her. No woman could
stand this. Mrs. Cannon burned the re-
membrance OF her husband In her heart
and determined that from that time on he
would be dead to her. Some time after
this, wishing to dispose of some property,
by the advice of her lawyer she secured q
divorce on the ground Of desertion. That
was 10 or ID years ago. Ever since Mrs.
Cannon has lived alone in Kansas City.
Meantime her restless husband was
securing the west for adventures, hunting,
trapping, mining, thinking of everything
but wife and home. At last, however, ma
ture cried halt. She chose rheumatism
as an ally, and they accomplished what no
man ever did-they made Bill Cannon,
"Old Uncle Bill" now, cry enough. He
was fain to seek the Soldiers home at
Leavenworth to "rest up q Bit" That was
four or five years ago.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Cannon was star.
tied to receive a letter from her recreant
spouse. He guessed he'd come home. He
said he was alive and well and wanted to
be with his wife. She wrote at once to tell
him she was his wife no longer, but her
woman's heart forgave him, and she ac-
knowledged she was ready to marry him
again.-Kansas City Times.

An elephant pushing a long line of
freight cars was the unusual scene wit
messed recently Mt Lemen Bros circus at
Argentine, MINI. Frank Fisher, trainer
of Rajah, the big elephant, was using the
beast in moving heavy wagons, and while
so engaged workman from an elevator
complained that he could not get switch
engine to move empty box cars to the ele-
vator. "Ill move them for you with Ra-
jah," said Fisher. He was not quite sure
that the big beast could move tho long line
of 32 box cars, but he resolved to have him
try 1t. The brakes were released, the ele-
plant put his head against the end car,
and after few moments the line began t.
move slowly. The track was perfectly
level and soon the cars had rolled down to
the elevator.-Kansas City Star.

It Was Beneath the Dignity Of . Son oi
Benjamin to Attend Cent Theater.
The Sons of Benjamin, q fraternal bene-

expelled from the order Jacob Behrman,
candidate for reelection to the presidency,
together with the seven other defeated
nominees for the respective offices.
Behrman and his followers, 1t Is claimed,
refused to give up the books and the cash
on hand. Financial irregularities were
charged, and the argument that carried
most weight was that Behrman frequented
cent theaters, contrary to the dignity OF
the president Of the Sons Of Benjamin.
The vote on expulsion stood AZ to 8, Behr.

Laid n Live Chick.

Albert Martin, a Californian, has Plym-
outh Rock hen that has not been laying
for some time. The other day she went on
the nest, and the family was astonished to
find, upon her leaving 1t shortly afterward,
that she had laid live chick. Only a
few fragments Of the shell were about It's
head, and 1t was still wet. The theory ad-
vanced is that the egg, In some manner re-
tarded In It's progress, was held In the sac
until the germ developed and proceeded to
stage of incubation. So far as Is known,
this is the first case Of tho kind on record.
