The Wisconsin State Fair is under

The Wisconsin State Fair is undertak-
ing this year a new departure. It is the
intention to catalogue all live stock on
the grounds. The catalogue will be dis
tributed free to patrons of the fair and
it will be gotten up without expense to the
exhibitors By referring to this cata-
logue one can determine at glance the
name, registered number, age, sex, sire,
dam, breed and owner of every animal
on the grounds. Live stock cavalcades-
that is leading the animals out on parade
will be made speciality. Heretofore
this has been a bore to exhibitors, for
the reason that it requires time and a
good deal of pains to lead out their ami
mails in good shape, and after they had
lead them out there seemed to be no bene-
fit derived from it because none of the
many spectators could tell who the ami
NAL belonged to, what they were looking
at or anything about it. This year, how
ever. it is confidently expected that ex-
hibitors will be glad to lead their stock
out on parade, because when each animal
is lead out on parade he must wear tag
numbered to correspond with his proper
catalogue number, and in this way the
people looking on will be enabled to more
fully appreciate each exhibitors herd. in
other words. they will know what they
are looking at and whose animals they
are looking at.

The Largest Telegraph.

A new Telegraph, or solar flash signal
instrument. has just been constructed by
Col. l.. L. Hawkins and erected on PORT
land Heights, Or. The Telegraph is
used in geodetic surveys and in military
signaling by means of rays of light TO-
cused on a mirror. This new instru>
ment is much the largest yet produced,
the mirrors being 3SX2O inches, while
the fash power is forty times greater
than that of the regulation government
instrument. The flash made by it will
appear like a great blazing star at dis
lance of 100 miles, and with 3-inch
glass could be seen at 760 miles. Col
Hawkins proposes to have a telescope on
Portland Heights so that he can catch
the smallest flash from Mounts Hood
Rainier, Adams, Jefferson and st. Hell
ems, all of which peaks are visible from
that point. Such an instrument will be
invaluable in the rapid sending of intelli,
gence by sunfashes over long distances.

Mark TWain's Royalties.

Mary Twain's royalties go far beyond
those gained by any other American
writer. His royalties upon ''The limo
cents Abroad" reached 100000 in less
than three years, as has been reported.
His royalties upon THE sGilded Age
were about $4,000, and Mr.. Raymond
said that he had paid Mark Twain $780,
900 in royalties for the play dramatized
from that story. His profits from tom
Sawyer" reached far up into the thou
sands, and were very large for Rough
ing IT. and Life Upon the Mississippi"
He did very well, too, with his Prince
and Pauper," and at one time he was
estimated to have gained in all about
100000 from his writings, and from his
investments SO much more as to make
him very nearly millionaire. He gained
the repute of being a very astute man
of business, yet he had the most grievous
misfortunes when he began to invest his
money. He lost large sum in an acct
dent insurance company. He is under
stood to have been unfortunate in an in
vestment in a typewriting machine, and
although at first it seemed likely that he
would greatly increase his fortune
through the profits of the publishing
business known as Charles L. Webster
& Co., yet the losses entailed by this
firm brought Mr.. Clemens, when he was
thinking of taking life easy, to that
dreadful realization of bankruptcy.-

Can Kick Like an Ok.

The following handsome and candid
acknowledgment appears in the shape Of
card from the editor in Nebraska
weekly newspaper:
I'VE wish to retract the charge made
last week in the Armored Cruiser that
Maj. Starkwright was never known to
keep a promise The statement reminded
the gentleman that in speech during
the last campaign he promised to kick us
down stairs, and, coming up to our Office,
he redeemed his promise. In fact, he
not only kicked us down stairs, but
h'isted us halfway back up as we'll; and
we verify believe, had he not run out of
breath. that he would have kicked us
over the roof. We regret having done
Maj. S. an injustice and cheerfully print
this acknowledgment. The major is a
man of his word, polished and scholarly,
and can kick like a brindled OK

Cork Trees Growing in Georgia.

About thirty-fve years ago several
young cork trees were sent to Sanders
vile. Ga, by the government and set
out to test their adaptability to that eli
mate. Three or four are yet living, but
the largest one is in the front yard of
in diameter. Last week it was stripped
of its bark around the trunk under the
direction of Col. Richard L. Warthen,
who manifests great interest in trees
of ali varieties, and samples of the cork
will be forwarded to the agricultural de-
partment at Washington and to the At
lanta exposition. The bark, or cork is
two and one-half inches thick, and is good
material. Col Warthen, who has studied
the matter closely, is confident that this
is the first tree that cork has ever been
taken from in the United States.

Courage ana Tenderness Combined

Here's the story OF a girl whose courage
brought the blush Of shame to a number
of strong men. A trolley car of the Peo-
pies Traction company while bowling
along Germantown avenue, near Ontario
street, yesterday morning struck a small
dog. The animal rolled under the car
and became wedged between the motor
box and the truck frame. The car was
stopped and the poor dog lay there. howl
ing pitifully. 1t was found to be impos
sible to eXtricate the dog from the outside,
and the conductor accordingly went into
the car and lifted the trap in the floor.
The dog lay directly under the opening,
with his mouth gaping wide in agony.
At the sight of the dog the conductors
courage forsook him, and he gave up his
intention of extricating the poor brute.
There were about forty-tive people in
the car, tWo-thirds men, and five of them
policemen. None of these men, however,
offered to relieve the dogs suffering.
A pretty young woman who sat near the
open trap appealed to the men to take the
dog out No one responded, and so she
stopped down herself and lifted the dog
carefully from under the truck. The
other women applauded her loudly. and
the men Joined in rather sheepishly.-
