Holmes "Castle" Burned.

The famous death trap in Chicago
where so many persons are believed to
have been murdered by Holmes was
burned nearly to the ground recently,
and with it much valuable evidence is
destroyed. The origin of the fire is
supposed to be incendiarism.
The building had been on fire before
and had been condemned by the city
authorities as unsafe. This fact, to-
gether with its maze of halls and blind
doors and its tTeachsrous traps and
hidden shafts, made the firemen exceed
ingly chary of how they entered the
place. On the other hand, they were
spurred on by the knowledge that the
building contained many papers and
other evidence which would be used
against Holmes should he ever be
brought to trial for his swindles. The
fire was fierce, however, and was rem
dered uncomfortable by strong draughts
and as a consequence it was found
impossible to save any of the contents
of the building, and all the papers and
Holmes correspondence, together with
other evidences of crime, such as the
dissecting table, the bleach vat and the
strange arrangement of the rooms,
were completely wiped out.
Until week ago the place was care
fully guarded by the police, two officers
being on duty night and day.

Corn is King.

Under present conditions you can look
for harvest of more than 100000
900 bushels of corn in the United States.
This ought to be worth on the farms of
the country, on an average, % cents a
bushel, or $500, 100000. If the Euro
pean grain crop is short, and the Eng
lish harvest is known to be SO, our eX-
ports should be enormous, insuring a
balance of trade in favor of the United
States.
The corn crop of last year was only
|, 200, 900, 900 bushels in round numbers
and brought the country little more
than 00,000,000. The wheat crop of
the United States for 1895 is estimated
at 395, 000, 600 bushels and is worth at
this date about 5000, 100000
Enfield, the great authority on corn,
estimated a ton of slower to every %
bushels of grain. AT this rate there
will be in round figures, in addition to
the grain, 100,0O0,OO0 tons of stalk,
which, according TO the estimate OF
average value at So per ton, by the
same authority, would make an aggre-
gate of $500, 100000. If, however, the
slower should only be worth half this
sum, or $3.50. 900, 600, the prospective of
the SO, 900 900 acres i'm grain and slower
will be worth to the country 81 ,2OO,-
OOO, 900. Assuming that 1873 cents a
bushel, or the average, for six years to
be nearer the true value than the pres
ent Chicago market price, it will be
seen that the present crop of grain is
worth S943, 200,0O0. Surely corn is
king.

Trouble in Manitoba.

For some time there has been fierce
contest going on in the C,nadian prov
ince of Manitoba. The agitation is over
the establishment of Catholic paro-
chial schools. All over Canada with
the exception of Manitoba parochial
schools are supported out of the public
treasury; that is, there is a division of
the school money. Part goes to the
public schools and part to the paro-
chial schools. This state of affairs does
not exist in Manitoba, and the Catho-
lies backed by the Canadian govern
ment are clam oring for division of
the funds. This demand is resisted by
the Manitoba authorities.
Il is reported that the national order
of A. P. A. in the United States has
rendered its support to Premier Green
way and offered to send armed men to
assist him should there be any attempt
on the part of the Dominion govern
ment to force the establishment of
separate schools. OF course this offer
will amount to nothing. In the first
place the United States govern
ment would not permit the sending of
armed men to assist rebellion in a
foreign country; and in the second
place talk of arms and armed men
comes with very poor grace from any
order in times of peace.
But the fact remains that in this coun-
try at least there will never be division
of school money, nor ought there to be,
until the Catholic votes out-number
those who oppose the policy they ia
vor; and not all Catholics will vote for
such policy. The common school
system has ardent supporters among
Catholics, and we believe is destined to
be more and more in favor. Catholics
in this country are American citizens
and a goodIy number at least can be
counted on to support distinctively
American institutions, pre-eminent
among which is the public school sys

Lisbon Froc- Press: A school boy
can sit perfectly still for hours on sled
not much larger than hat and ride be-
hind vehicle at two-minute gait when
he cannot sit still in school scat made
to order five minutes at a time. A woman
can sit like statue in church, looking
neither to the right or LOTT an hour, but
let some one dash by in sleigh and she
will break some of the furniture, if
necessary, to get to the door and look
out. A man can sit oa sharp rail of a

him in Il comfortable church seat and he
tiouncos about and finally goes to sleep.
It's all strange, but true
