the stuff reaches the ground floor tina
mortar will be ready for use, and can
be loaded on cars and wagons through

no sand will be put in until 1t is ready
to be carted away. \

EARNEST WOMAN ON EARTH
She Is Product of the Far West and
 Halls From Oregon.


 Oregon has had a number of women who have distinguished themselves in various ways, some in literature, some in art, some as slayers of wild beasts, others as increasers of the population, some by climbing mountains. others by tumbling down them, and so on; but q deed of bravery has lately been done by @ Portland woman which it is quite certain no other woman ill the state and probably no other woman i'll the world has nerve enough even to attempt. This woman is employed ina large establish ment on Third street. and her name must be kept secret to prevent the place being overrun by people anxious 10 see the woman who is so brave.
 There are quite number of other women employed in the same room, as we'll as several men. A day or two since rat strayed into the room and could not find its way out, and the men start ed in to catch and kill him. This was easier said than done, for the rat was agile and daring, and fled from one ann bush to another, while the women and girls flew upon chairs and tables, and would have perched on the ceiling like flies if they had been able.
 There was one exception-the brave woman who has immortaliZed herself She stood her ground, and finally, when the rat had been poked from behind . barrel and was dashing across the floor almost over her feet, she serouched" " down and let her skirts touch the floor and captured the rat, and when it en- deayored to push it's way out she swat ted it over the head and laid it out. This is fact, and if any person in any country can produce a similar case of bravery and presence of mind on the part of woman he can take the bakery. - Morning Oregonian.

A HEAVENLY DlSTURBER.
A Meteor the Cause of a Queer Legal
 Quarrel.

tsuhfEels
 The great meteor which fell from the heavens some weeks ago near Gulf Summit is causing a queer legal mud dle The meteor fell on the land of Farmer Swackhammer, almost on the boundary line between New York and Pennsylvania.
 The exact location of this state line has for many years been matter of dis pute, and the question has been brought to focus by the falling of this meteor. Not only has the state line been ill dis pute, but the dividing line between Swackhammer and Farmer Littlejohn's lands, dependent upon the state line, has never been located. Failing in the disputed territory, fhis meteor has brought about legal battle, as both farmers claim it, while third person claims it by right of discovery. mjunc- tions have been obtained by all three.
 Meanwhile scientists have partly ex- cavated the stone and have endeavored to determine its origin. It is claimed by one learned man that he has deci- phered the cabalistic symbols with which it is covered. He asserts that wonder ful message is conveyed from all un- known world A high fence has been erected around the mystery, and guard night and day keeps all curious persons at a proper distance.

A PRECIOUS VASE.

OunDly VIII be the Man WI
 Shall Win It.
 The proposed gathering of the surviv- ing members of the Palmetto regiment at the Cotton States and International exposition will be an interesting ocea- sion of some historical importance. Aft CT the battle of New Orleans General Jackson, who was a native of South Carolina, received from the ladies of that city handsome souvenir vase as a token of their strong admiration of his great prowess in the war with Great Britain. On his death General Jackson willed the vase to the bravest soldier that South Carolina should send to the next foreign war.
 The Palmetto regiment went 1, 100 strong to the Mexican war, but only 300 survivors returned. A committee was appointed to decide which was the bravest of the 800, but where all were Spartans i'll valor the committee had a hopeless task. The vase then went into the possession of South Carolina, and the legislature then undertook to dis pose of it according to the wishes of General Jackson.
 The legislature finally disposed of tho matter by deciding that the vase should go to the last survivor of the Palmetto regiment There are now only 10 or 12 survivors, and their coming to Atlanta will bring distinguished group of men. The vase will be exhibited and will be an object of great interest. It sof solid silver and beautifully embossed, being about IS inches high Judge J. J. Mar tin of Atlanta, one of the survlvors, suggested the gathering, which will doubtless take place.
 The vase was exhibited at the New Orleans exposition in 1881, when the number of survivors was several times its present number.

PHOTOGRAPHIC FUNERALS.
A Long Island Coroner's Novel Use For
 Edison's Famous Invention.

EutSOu'6 Famous invention.
 Deputy Coroner A E. Stillwell of Gravesend, l.. l., being also an under taker, has arranged a photographic method of conducting funeral services, which will at least be novel. He had it all ready for the funeral of George Pet tit of Sheepshead Bay, but the clergy man was on hand, and his part of the service was not needed. Nevertheless there was photographic quartet ap- propriate to the ceremony.
 MT. Stillwell's device is funeral service by phonograph. He has pur- chased an instrument and has had a funeral sermon recorded upon it by a local clergyman, together with reli- gious exercises and several hymns by a good quartet. These are reproduced by the funnel shaped annunciator so the assembled friends may all hear, and, according to MT. Stillwell, the effect is serious and impressive.
 My reason for this" says MT. Still we'll, is the trouble have occasionally ill securing the services of clergyman, especially in the summer time. The op- portunity will come for me to use the photographic service, and I expect to do it with success. "-Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette.
