Olcof thu sadlsst happenings We have
read abo"t in a long time occurred in
Chicago recently. Charles German, who
had previously borne a good reputation,
pursued by a policeman, refused to halt,
and was shot and killed. 1t was after
ward discovered that he had bidden his
wife and two little children in St. Paul
good bye when he left for the Garden
City to seek work, no being ablo to pro.
cure employment in st. Paul. 10 was al
40 unsuccessful in Chicago. He received
q telegram from hls wife stating that one
Of their ohildeea vss very sick. and he
made stennoss sGosts to get money to pay
bis fare homs, bot without avail. Then Il
dispatch from lis wife informed him that
the child was dead. He tried to pawn his
few ~nrticle' of personal property. but was
unsuccessful. Driven to desperation, he
attempted robbery 10 secure the means
with which to buy q ticket, and he was
killed. The poor wife, hoping that he
would come to her in her deep trouble,
was heart broken when tidings came that
her husband had been kiIled-because his
love for the wife and babies at home had
driven him to the commission of q des-
perate deed. Tho same Twin City paper
in which appeared the account of Cor
mans death contained an item stating
thst the value Of the diamonds worn by
the Vanderbilt women reaches into the
millions. And yet the Wall street press
and its western echoes tell Us that .what.

Peculiar Philanthropy.

A sealed tin Case, which on being
opened was found to contain a copy Of
Milton's Paradise Lost" was picked
up in the lower part of the Penobscot
river, Maino, IL few days ago. Inquiry
disclosed the fact that in a small town
up tho river lives an old tinsmith Of
literary tastes and some odd ideas, and
that it is his custom to inclose all sorts
Of excellent books in tin cans, tightly
soldered and so constructed as to float
easily, and to set them adrift in the
river in the hope that they will lie pick
ed up by residents of the many islands
at tho mouth of the river, who are not
kept in close touch with culture, OF else
by sailors. He thinks the popularity Of
the way in which the books reach the
readers helps to ecu for them a read

No better instance Of good fortune
coming through sheer luck could be
found perhaps than in the experience Of
a prospector named Mahoney, near Ka-
lispell, Mon, recently. Having nothing
whatever to do one afternoon, he, out Of
pure fancy, as an idle boy would throw
stones at a mark, drilled a hole into a
projecting hunk Of rock and put in a
shot, intending to blow out q ton o. SO
Of it just to see things fly.
When the blast was made, he found
that he had broken into a treasure
house. There was a big pocket i'll the
rock the sides Of which sparkled with
almost pure gold. There was enough in

THE ERA OF ELECTRICITY.

Electric traction has already. made
marvellous progress, and it is fairly Ger
tain that as the general business pros
perity increases this progress will be
greatly accelerated. There is the conso-
lation fort he steam railroads, however,
that improvements in electrical traction
are being constantly made which will
lessen the cost Of equipment and reduce
the running expenses. By waiting these
can be utilized American.
It is interesting to speculate on the
possibilities Of the trolley within even
so short a period as the next half dozen
years. 1t is already certain that the troll
ley will take away the suburban traffic
Of steam railroads. How short a time
will be required for this is the only
question. There are many who believe
that even before this century has run
out suburban trains will be on the re-
tired list. -Hartford Post.
The next thing to generally interest
this country will be the electric railway,
which will take up the passenger and
put him down almost anywhere and ev-9
erywhere. One can go at present all the
way from Boston to New York by cleo
trio railway, ave % miles out of New
Haven.-Kansas City Times.
The success which attends tina har-
Messing Of Niagara to the dynamo will
stimulate the Harvesting Of other wild
river horses in other parts Of the coun-
try. The Potomac is one Of the streams
upon which capital already has its eye.
and the susquehanna, it is likely, will
also be pressed into the service Of prac-
tical electrical science. Imagination
may easily outrun results, but from tho
present outlook it seems difficult to
overestimate the electrical possibilities
Of the future, now that we are convert
ing into helpful agencies such powerful

Might or Right.

have often asked my radical friends what is to be done if, out of every hun dred enlightened voters, two-thirds will givo their votes one way, but are afraid to fight, and tho remaining third will not only vote, but will fight, too, if the poll goes against them. Which has, then, tho right to rule? can tell them which will rule Tho brave and resolute minority will rule. Plato says that if ono man was stronger than all the rest of mankind he would rule all the rest of mankind. It must Do so, because there is no appeal. The majority must be prepared to assert their divine right with their right hands, or it will go the way other divine rights havo gone be- fore.
 will not believe the world to have been so i'll constructed that there arc rights which cannot be enforced. It ap- pears to mo that the true right to rule in any nation lies with those who are best and bravest, whether their numbers are large or small, and three centuries ago tho best and bravest part of this English nation had determined, though they were but a third of it, that pope and Spaniard should be no masters of theirs. in Longman's Nigga gina.

HARRIsBURG, March 6.-The Farr com- pulsory education bill, which was twice vetoed by Governor Pattison, passed the final stage in the house. The Democrats tried to block its progress and refused to vote on tho final pasSage. Thirteen Re publicans voted against the bill In the midst of the discussion the Republicans moved the previous question, and the mo- tion was adopted by an overwhelming vote. This brought the bill to third reading. It passed this stage and then went through finally.
 For tho first timo in many years thcre was a call of the senate The bill author izing the taxation of persons, property and occupations for general borough purposes camc up for final paSsage and tho first vote rcSultcd in it's defeat, but only 24 senators voted, or two less than a quorum. Lieu tenant Governor Lyon ordered a call of the senate, and nine who had not voted be- foro were gathered in from the committee rooms and the barber shop. The bill was then killed.
 Tho rcmainder of tho session of the son. ate was given up to the discussion of tho bill appropriating $500, 900 for the inn provcment of the Philadelphia harbOr. Pending the discussion the senate ad- iourncd.

 One of the methods whereby profit has been made from sawdust is the manu- facture from it of oxaeio acid, which is a simple process, producing a material in wide commercial demand in the art of dyeing and other chemical arts. As intimated, the process is not only sim pie, but the outfit for conducting it does not involve . large investment The principles involved are not complicated, and the process can be carried out by cheap labor under the superiutendence of a fairly intelligent director.
 Oxalio aoid is frequently met with in the vegetable kingdom, especially in combination with gases which destroy its poisonous character. Oxalate of lime is found in considerable quantity in the rhubarb plant Oxalate of potash is found in the sorrel. and oxalate of soda in salicurnia and sal soda Formerly the acid was obtained from the sorrel, Oxalis acetosella. but moro recently from sugar by the action of nitric acid upon it. The nitric acid and sugar are boiled for some time, then evaporated to dryness, and the oxalic acid formed is purified by specialization from water. A much cheaper material than sugar is sawdusk In this case an alkali must be employed instead of an acid, as we'll as at high CT temperature. The operation is con- ducted in an iron vessel of suitable size and shape, and either caustio soda or potash is employed. the yield being greater with the latter.
 Some recent experiments made go to prove that mixture of 40 parts of caus- tio potash to 60 parts of caustic soda will produce as largo yield as when potash alone is used, provided the opera tion be performed in shallow vessels with thin layers of the material, avoid ing as far as possible the fusing of tho mass. Soft woods, such as pine and fir, produce larger quantities of oxalio acid than hard wood like oak. The propor- tion of the wood to alkai should not exceed a to 100, and the temperature should be about 4So degrees F.-Phila- delphia Press.
