Longevlty OF Norwoglans.

Norway is small country, and the
sayings and doings of it's people do not
get into newspaper type very often, but
the Norweigans, nevertheless, have a
claim upon celebrity due to the fact
that the average length of life is greater
there than in any other country in Eu-
rope. Recent statistics show that for
males the average is As years and three
months, and for females it is 81 years
and three months. 1t is a valuable
commentary on this that the mortality
in Norway is II per cent less than in
the center or west of Europe, this be-
ing due to the fact that far smaller
number Of infants die there than in
any other country.

Glass Houses,

Vhe saying "Those who live in glass
houses should not throw stones" dates
back to the union of England and
Scotland, at which time London was
inundated with Scotchmen. This did
not please the duke of Buckingham,
who organized a movement against
them, and parties formed who went
about nightly to break their windows,
In retaliation a party of Scotchmen
smashed the windows of the dukes
mansion, which stood in Martins
Field, and had so many windows that
1t went by the name of the Glass. The
duke appealed to the king who replied,
"Steenie, Steenie, those who live in
glass houses should be careful how
they fling stanes."

Gauging Beer Capacity.

In southern Germany, where incred-
ible quantities Of beer are drunk daily
and where the steady customers sit for
hours at table, drinking glass after
glass, mug after mug, filled by buxom
maidens, some genius has introduced
the thermometer" attached to the bot
tom of a drinking vessel-a numbered
dial with one hand. With each glass
full or mugful which the drinker re-
ceives the hand is advanced one num-
Der. AS the hand cannot be moved
backward the thermometer" exercises
perfect control-to the saloon-keeper'l
satisfaction at least.

Rats In Hen Houses.

Pouring coal ter into their holes,
taking care to rub plenty of tar on the
edges OF the holes, succeeds admirably.
Should there be any such position as
to prevent the pouring in of the tar,
rubbing the sides will answer. The
rat is naturally a very clean little an
imal, and abhors the offensive and
sticky nature of coal tar Whenever
mortar is used, coal tar should be we'll
mixed with it, which will prevent
them nibbling another hole,

Snccessfnl NYnmnn Minor.

Out in Joplin, the center Of the great
lead and zinc regions Of Jasper and
Newton counties, Missouri, lives Mrs.
II. c, Cosgrove, one Of the most success
full dealers in mines and real estate in
the world, although she is tiny woman
with quiet and most winning ways.
Lately Mrs, Cosgrove has organized a
mining company composed entirely Of
women. 1t has a woman's name-the
"Helen Mar Mining and Investment
Company" it is differed by women, all
dts stock held by women and one of the
mines on its extensive and valuable
possessions is called, 1.-THE New Wom-
en-" Men are allowed only in the hum
bic capacity Of pick handlers. Further
more, it is said to be coming to the front
as bonanza. While this idea Of a COM
pany solely composed of women is a
novelty, the successful woman miner is
an established fact in that region; one
woman receives $500 per week in roy
altles from her mines; she superntends
all prospecting herself.

6Y 4. CONAN poYZE

But II her conduct and appearance
had already somewhat Jared upon their
limited and precise sense Of the fitness
Of things, what were they to think Of
the next little act in this tnbleauX
vivant? The cabman, red and heavy
jowled, had come back from his labors,
and held out his hand for his fare.
The lady passed him a coin there was
a moment Of mumblng and gestlculat-
ing, and suddenly she had him with
both hands by the red cravnt which glrt
his neck, and was shaking him as a
terrier would a rat. Right across the
pavement she thrust him, and pushing
him up against the wheel, she banged
his head three several times against
the side of his own vehicle
"Can / be Of any use to you, aunt"
asked the large youth, framing himself
In the open doorway

ragged lady, There, you low black

this unheard-of and extraordinary thing
had happened Then, rubbing his head,
he mounted slowly on to the box, and
drove away with an uptossed hand APP
pealing to the universe. The lady
smoothed down her dress pushed back
her hair under her little felt hat, and
strobe In through the hall-door, which
she closed behind her. AS with a whisk
her short skirts vanished into the
darkness, the two spectators-Mis
Bertha and Miss Monica Wlllams-sat
looking at each other in speechless
ama2ement. For fifty years they had
peeped through that little window and
across that trim garden, but never yet
had such a sight as this come to con-
found them.

sympathetic Inks.

There are many ways Of producing
writing which is invisible until exposed
to certain conditions. The juice of an
onion affords convenient medium for
secret writing, though it is hardly suit
able for love letters. Gray ink can be
made from a weak solution of alum In
lemon juice. Words written with it will
not show unless the paper be immersed
in water, when they will be plainly Wis.

CyclIng se4 Miles a Dnr.

1t seems almost incredible that a
man should be able to cover a distance
of 524 miles in twenty-four consecutive
hours, furnishing all the motor power
himself, and yet that was what the
French bicyclist, Riviere, did at Bor-
deauX Tuesday. Applied in a straight
line that days motion would have car
ried him from Chicago to the vicinity
of Cleveland. OF course, he made his
record on a cement track, but it isn't
every one Of us that can do his twenty
two miles on a track in an hour, not to
mention keeping it up for twenty-four.
The French, by the way, while they
don't keep with us in short-distance
yiding, seem to have everything their
own way in the long ones, the Ameri-
can twenty-fOur-ho record being some
100 miles lower than theirs.

ASSURES REORGANIZATION.
Whisky Trust Affairs in More Fa-
yOrabIe Condition.

CHICAGO, March 15.-The much
talked of reorganization of the whisky
trust became practically assured facs
today when the stock amounting to
more than $17,5O0OOO was placed with
the Manhattan Trust company as a
pledge toward reorganization The ex-
ecutive committee of the Spirit Dis
tilling association, which takes in the
old trust and nearly all the independ-
ent distillers, met this afternoon and
fixed the basing price of spirits at
S1.2519, an advance of half q cent a
gallon, which will have the affect of
making the market price $1.26 Enough
stock was pledged at the meeting to
assure the success of the reorganiza-
ton scheme, and stockholders who were
not represented there will have until
March % to get into the band wagon.
AT that date it is probable the reor-
ganization will be effected
Members of the executive committee
say the agreement of the new associa-
ton will go into effect immediately
after March p, and as soon as the de-
tails are arranged the property of the
American Distilling & Cattle Feeding
company will be taken out of the
hands of the receivers. The annual
election Of officers will be held April IS.

KNEW PASTE JEWELS.
A Thief RObs II House, but Uses
Judgment.

A Thief RObs House, but Uses
Judgment.
A daring robbery was perpetrated
at the residence of Olivar G. Seward,
1923 Chestnut avenue, in broad day
light yesterday. Mr. Seward, who is
manager of the Minneapolis Brass
and Iron company, left home in the
morning, and Mrs. Seward went out
to lunch, taking her children with
her. She returned about 3 o'clock and
found the back door open. The chill
dren, in the front part of the house,
were terrified to see a man fly out of
the front door and start on lively
run down the street.
Mrs. Seward thought something was
wrong, but did not lose her presence
of mind. She looked for her hus-
bands revolver, but it was not in its
accustomed place. She ran back to
the little folks, who told her about
the man they had seen leave the
house. Thoroughly alarmed, Mrs.
Seward hailed a policeman, and to-
gether they searched the house. The
family jewel box was first eXemned.
1t contained little of value. A valuable
garnet brooch and earrings, a dia-
mond ring and two watches and
chains had been stolen. An imitation
diamond ring, which none but an ex-
pert eye could detect, was left in the
case, along with silver hairpins and
bracelets. A valuable neck scarf was
also missing, but a huge pile of cloth
ing, that had been hastily thrown to-
gether, lay in the middle of the floor.
The value of the jewelry was about
$500.
Mrs. Stewards children describe the
thief as a tall, stylishly-dressed man
of slim build

GROVER RETURNING.
He Found Rest and Plenty OF
Birds in the Car0Iinas.

NORFOLK, Va, March 15-The
Violet, with the presidential party,
anchored at the buoy yard at the navy
yard at noon today. A drizzling rain
is falling, and the president keeps
closely in his cabin. Good luck in
fishing and ducking is reported for
the past two days. The Violet. with
the presidential party on board, left
Norfolk at 2:30 p. M, bound for Wash
ington. They expect to arrive in
Washington about noon tomorrow.
President Cleveland was looking in
splendid health and told a reporter
that he was feeling excellentIy. When
asked about his trip the president re-
piled: Il have met with bad weather
most of the time since leaving home,
but the birds have been thick and l
have not noticed the weather much. 1
have had good luck, as you saw COM
ing in, mostly all brant ducks, with a
few geese"
Asked as to fishing, he replied:
There were not many fish, but we
got enough to satisfy u.s. The bag
OF ducks and geese numbered 200.
No accident nor unusual incident had
marred the pleasure of the trip. He
was very anxious to hear of the state
of ex-President Harrison's health. and
expressed solicitude as to his present
condition. The president said he was
going to work refreshed and invigora-
ted. inspector Lambuston expects to
put the president ashore in Washing
ton tomorrow evening.

1t Threatens War Over the School
Question.

TORONTO, March 15.-The execu-
tive committee of the Canadian Protec-
tive association has issued a mani
festo in which a solemn protest is en-
tered against Dominion interference
in the Manitoba school question. 1t
accuses the Catholic hierarchy which
it says is controlled by Jesuits, of STIR
ring up feelings of discomfort in the
minds of French half-breeds, who, if
let alone, would have accepted the
school act without question. There is
also very slightly yelled threat thatif
the Dominion government accedes to
the hierarchy's demands, civil war will
be engendered, 'as happened to use
the words of the manifesto, ''to the
great country to the south of us when
$40 100000 was expended, and the
lives of nearly million men sacrificed
to make good arguments for state and
federal rights
Continuing, the manifesto says: ITO
prevent a recurrence of attempts to
destroy the public school system of the
various provinces and to restore har-
mony among all our people, irrespec-
tive of creed, we ask all our members
and every patriotic citizen to unite in
the just demand that Jesuits be forth
with expelled from this country"
The manifesto is being sent broadcast
over the country by mail and wire to-
night.

rance Company of Philadelphia. On
Sept. the corpse of man was found
at 1S1 Callohill street, in the Quaker
City, and was buried by the coroner
under the name of B. F. Pitzel. 1t
transpired that the corpse was a bogus
one substituted for the purpose of de-
frauding the life insurance company
of $4,000, the exact amount Hayward
sought to steal by the murder of Miss
Cling. The extraordinary series of
crimes to which Holmes confessed i'm
mediately following his arrest is still
fresh in the public mind, and need not
be repeated here. But it is a remark
able coincidence, if nothing more, that
these two notorious criminals should
have talked of famous insurance
swindle In a gambling house in Chi
cago and a few months later have con-
cocted schemes to defraud insurance
companies for the same amount.
1t is said that Hayward was ac-
quainted with Holmes wife, who for
merly lived in this city. Her name
then was Myrtle Zulique Belknap, and
her father was yardmaster of the old
Manitoba railway. They lived at 914
Fourteenth avenue southeast for sew
eral years, and "Mertie" Belknap, as
she was known to her school associates,
was a pretty blonde girl of fourteen
years.

with him between a quarter and half
hour, and when he left both he and the
prisoner refused to say anything about
what took place.

Heard Today.
HAVE CAUSED A BIG RUMPUS
De LAlTTRE AND ERICKSON.
The One Wants Hydraulic and
the Other Electric Ele-
VatOrS.

Judge Belden will this morning
hear the arguments in the case
against the court house and city hall
commissioners, in which Frederick
Bates, who is thought to be acting
for the Crane Elevator company, de-
mands a permanent injunction re-
Straining the defendants from grant
ing the elevator contract for the new
court house to the Sprague-Pratt
company. Some very sensational
disclosures had been expected today,
but Weed Munro, attorney for the
plaintiff, said yesterday that nothing
Of a startling nature would be
brought up today. Whatever they
have of an important nature will
be kept as reserve ammunition. The
arguments today will relate to the
merits of the two elevator systems,
electric and hydraulic, but a decision
will hardly be rendered before Mon
day, as it is thought Judge Belden
will take the case under advise
ment.
The Sprague company has pre-
sented it's case to the newspapers in
a document covering considerable
ground, and thirty type-written
pages. This communication is in the
main an attack on Commissioner De
Laittres letter to the commission on
the occasion of his resignation from
the construction committee. The
Sprague-Pratt people first analyze
n
deny them from top to bottom. They
take De Laittres estimates of cost,
and make their own statement along
side it, then subtract and note the
difference below. There is also a
great deal of discussion as to the
merits Of the different systems, which
will probably be backed by affldavits
from electrical engineers.
The affidavits secured by the plain
tiff and the Crane Elevator COM
pany have been placed on file al
ready. They contain some very in
tereSting statements. George II.
Reynolds, of the Crane Elevator COM
pany, in his affidavit swears that the
worm gear and drum machine" type
of electric elevators is far superior
to the screw and sheave pattern,
used by the Sprague-Pratt company.
and says that the latter system has
been discarded by all other COM
panies as inferior. He challenges the
successful bid, and says that no elec-
trio elevator has ever been made
capable of carrying a live load Of
$500 pounds at $50 feet per minute.
This is the requirement of the speci-
fication,
