Fire in an Oil Mill Plant.

The Crescent oil mill plant at Little Rock was badly damaged by fire. The refinery, which was two and half story frame building, 50 feet square, is total loss. It contained about 500 barrels of refined oil, which augmented the fury of the flames. A long shed, containing 200 bales of cotton, was al- so destroyed with all it's contents. The insurance will cover about two-thirds of the loss.

It Was Not Suicide.

A strange story came to light at Birmingham. Ala, recently. Two years ago Oliver Heidt, wealthy lumber dealer, was found dead in his office from bullet wound in the head. Be- side him lay pistol. The coroner's verdict was accidental death at his own hands. This theory went until the other day, when Frank McLester, a former employe, turned up and says he saw William Butler, foreman of the lumber yard, shoot lieidt accidentally while cleaning a pistol for Heidt to take with him on a trip to Georgia. Butler claimed at the time not to have been present when the shooting occurred, but soon after ward wasted away and died. Not hay ing told it Ut the time, it is supposed Butler, overcome by remorse, kept his secret forever. The insurance com panies contended suicide, and Heidt's family, being unable to prove the con- trary, lost SlO,0 insurance

A Self-Confessed Murderer.

Several weeks ago Pinlxie Hardie, who resided in the lower part of Birmingham, Ala, was shot in the breast and instantly killed. In the same room at the time of the shooting was another woman and Charles Jo- seph. Both of the latter were arrest ed, but they swore Pinl1ie was fooling with a pistol, and it went off. The coroner's jury, however, found them guilty, and warrant was sworn out against them. At the trial before a justice of the peace they came clear. The other day Joseph walked into the police station and gave himself up, say ing he did kill Pinl<ie, and God told him to surrender.

Barnnoff castle was In Sitka and was
built upon an eminence commanding an
excellent view of the town and harbor. In
appearance 1t bore no resemblance to a
castle, but looked very much like coun-
try hotel. BaranUff castle and the island
upon which 1t was built derived their name
from the Russian Governor Baranoff, who
In the early partof the century lived there
and ruled the people with tyranny SINH
lar to that enforced in Siberia Under
Baranoff's rule and that of his predecessor
the island and the old castle were the
scenes Of many contests for supremacy as
well as of festivities, in which persons Of
royal blood participated.
The governorship of that portion of all
Russia was considered a great reward, and
In turn many mobiles ruled and were pro
vided with plenty to make their life one
OF luxury. The old banquet hall OF the
castle was the scene of many entertain
ments given in extravagant style in honor
of visiting celebrities.
Twenty years ago Lady Franklin then
80 years old, visited the island, searching
for some trace of her missing husband, Sir
John. William II. Seward, upon his re-
tirement as secretary of state, also spent
several days upon the island, viewing with
his own eyes tho great territory which
through his and Senator Charles Summers
efforts was secured for this country by
peaceable means. In the fall of 1867 many
noted personages stood upon the balcony
OF the old castle and witnessed the replac-
ing of the eagles Of the car with the stars
and stripes. By that act $50, 600 square
miles of territory became the property of
the United States, the consideration being
cents per acre.-San Francisco Chron'

Boston libraries TO get material on the
subject All the books shown her were
unsatisfactory, dealing with the forms
Of letters and saying nothing more She
resolved then and there to write a book
herself such as she conceived would be
useful The necessary study and research
led her by a strange route into teaching,
for when the book was completed no
publisher would take it unless there
were specimen letters in IT, To get va
riety of them she began to teach by cor
respondence.
Miss Galloway has studied in Edin-
burgh and London, finding at the great
English libraries, the Oxford and Bod
leian, many valuable manuscript letters
which have been Of use in the work.
"The inside Of letter is the cream Of
the correspondence, says this unusual
instructor. 81 teach my pupils that the
motive Of the letter is more important
than the outside form ! always tell
them that do not make finished letter
writers Of them, but simply suggest lines
Of thought that they can carry ont.
Her pupils are Of every age and from
many walks in life, from farmers to
lawyers, from society ladies to cowboys
Miss Galloway is the author Of several
little books Hints to a Silent Friend
Upon Writing Letters, " The Phantom
Letter, " "The Wit ON the Staircase"
and Musical Postals. - This last for
mulates unique way of writing short
messages by musical signs, saving time
and preserving secrecy.
Miss Galloway thoughts and theories
on her art are soon TO be published in
book form. She possesses a beautiful
copy of her manuscript, printed entirely
by pen and ink, the work Of one Of her
pupils 1t is bound in fine leather and
is veritable edition de luxe. From its
index one can get an idea Of the timely
topics treated by the author Among
them are Observation Studies, ""Cour-
tesy." Apologies, ""The Dry Letter, -
1.-THE Sympathetic Letter" Picture
Letters, f" 1.-THE Mischief Making Let
ter" "The Lugubrious Letter. and
"Silent Conversations.
Miss Galloway is small woman, with
bright, earnest face and a winning
manner. The personality that, if true to
her theories, she must convey in her let
ters to pupils is so very magnetic and
forceful that her success is not to be
wondered at.

The laying of a telegraph cable

the movement, but Australian cap

from there to the Fiji Islands, 1902
miles; from thence to Fanning's Isl

with its significant length of 3242
miles, will be across from flaming S

total length of the line will be 6S74
miles, which is three times the
length of the shortest transatlantic
cable. The cost is estimated at

established later, the first, how

the following advantages:
THE CRUSHER will cut the cane
transversely in pieces about 3 inches
long and extract about SO per cent. of
the juice andldeliver the crushed cane in
uniform layer to the 3 roller mill,
thereby causing a perfect feed and in
creased extraction Of juice.
THE CRUSHER will leave the "skin"
on the cane, thereby giving the juice a
better chance to be expelled than if the
cane was ripped open subjecting the
pulp to the hard packing on the retnrner
bar of the 3 roller mill.
THE CRUSHER will save labor in
handling of the cane, as an irregular
distribution of cane on the carrier will
not materially effect the regular and
