shot fire, waves her bosom rose

queenly hand; and she, alas; with
little ruth, had laughed to scorn
his meek demand. You ask me, sir,
to be your bride, to meet with you
the worldly blast; to trot forever at
your side, and cherish you until

 In 1889 Mcdowell visited Pullman and rowcd with John Corbctt, then the Amer ican champion. Here ho received the first thorough instruction, which stood by him in later years. This same year Mo Dowell won tho senior single at Grand Rapids and then visited Pullman, where the National and Mississippi Valley as sociations were holding joint regatta. He won the Mississippi senior singles and also won his heat in the Nationals event, but was defeated in the final by Dennis Donahoe, who also defeated Corbett.

Prince Ferdinand Is to Be Removed as
 Bulgaria's Ruler.
 LONDON, Aug. 2.-A semiofficial state ment issued in St. Petersburg disposed of the ru1nors that Russia would probably recognize Prince Ferdinand as a ruler of Bulgaria. The statement is to the effect that Russia will never enter into relations with She existing illegal Bulgarian gov ernment, which has been forced upon the principality by usurper. Russia simply demands that prince shall be chosen in accordance with the provisions of the Der lin treaty, with the concurrence of the porte.
 The Daily News today prints Vienna dispatch saying that this declaration of Russia s position is held to signify the re- moval of Prince Ferdinand and the exist ing Bulgarian government at the shortest possible notice.

The Cable Grip Broke and the Boat Slipped
 Back-Passengers Tried to Jump Out and
 Were Badly Hurt--One Woman Is Not Expected to Survive.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-A serious accident happened at the chutes at Sixty third street and Cottage Grove avenue. A car containing about 20 people was near the top of the chute when the cable broke and the car went tearing down the slide of 300 feet. A wild panic ensued among the peo- pie in the car, and many of them in their desperate efforts to escape were spilled out of the car. The following were injured:
 Kate MOrengard, face and head bruised {; Fred Erbett, left leg fractured and bruised, may die; M. A. McInerny, J. F. Hussey, badly cut on side; Miss M Crook, Miss Minnie Heidt, c. V. Heidt, Miss s. J. White, c. Dunlap, badly battered up, in serious condition; Miss Maud Heffron, Charles A. Schaldenbrand, George Elmer son, Fred Sharp, badly bruised; Max Er- I1ndOrn, head cut, and J. HusSy.
 The injuries of Miss Crook it is be- lieved, will prove fatal, her head having been so badly cut that portion of her brain OOzed out.
 How the Accident Occurred.
 The car was approaching the place at the top of the slide where the stop is usu- ally made when John Parin the motor- man, found that his grip had caught and would not release the cable. He sprang to the edge of the platform and called on the passengers to jump. The car shot past tho platform. There was a crash q recoil and the car, released from the cable by the contact with the timbers at the end rolled back.
 The passengers were thrown from their seats onto the bottom of the boat When 1t passed back, half a dozen persons jumped out. Parin caught U woman'S hand, and she fell upon the blanks. The car and it's load trcmblcd moment at the verge of the descent, then shot down.
 George Emerson lcaped from the boat as it was half way down and fell headlong to tho ground. Another form pushed out. Then, with crash louder than the first, tho boat came to standstill at the bot tom of the incline Its occupants were thrown among the broken beams and boards.
 There was q wild panic among the crowd of spectators and among the occu- pants of the other cars, but the wounded were quickly carried away by the ambu- lance
 The slide down which the car flew is fully 300 feet long and slopes at an angle of S5 degrees from the ground. The peo- pic who patronized the chute would get into car at the bottom of the incline and after being drawn to the top would enter small boat which would be allowed to slip down tho chute at lightning speed on- to large pool of water at the bottom of the slide. The accident occurred just as the car reached the top of the incline.

The Waterbury Furni- ture Go and the Elm, peror of Japan.

The wonderful progress which East Main street is making since the Great Furniture Emporium took up its abode there one short year ago. is attracting the attention of all progressive people. But the fact is not generally known that the Waterbury Furniture Company is closely connected with people who are in con- stant communication with the Emperor of Japan. And how many people know that this ruler is by far the most progressive in all the world. He is Emporer of dynasty which dates back in an unbroken line for 2,555 years-centuries before the birth of Christianity. And only few months ago, when he made up his mind to settle his old account with China, he asked his people for loan of $25, ,000. 900 to carry on the war, the business men of Japan subscribed three times the amount on the spot, and refused to take any interest on their loan. No wonder that 40. .000. .000 such people >uld knock out four hundred million Chinamen. Prof Edward $ Morse says in his great work on Good Man ners," that the Japanese are by far the best bred people in all the world. Now that the Waterbury Furniture Company has a church in it's building as we'll as a school it expects that the scholars who have been privileged to come here. will take on some of this spirit which has brought Japan and the Waterbury Furni- ture company to the front rank. We are glad to be able to tell our boys that it is a scientific truth backed by the best living authorities, that all the forces of nature are with the fellow who wants to climb not downwards, but upwards Let this encourage you A smile of contentment came over our faces last Monday morning when we saw the people catch on to those huge Rockers for 99 cents, There is nothing like keeping the people happy. Next. Monday morning we will do the same thing at 9 o'clock. and remember our motto: I've never fool the public" Our sales this July will be the largest in our history; thanks to the people who have stopped going to New York and Boston to buy their goods. Moral-Be like the En- peror of Japan-live in the hearts of your own people, and they will keep your mem- ory green.
