The Lost Found.

The daughter of Gilbert Mattson, a
farmer living three miles south of Hec-
tor, has been heard from. Seventeen
years ago this summer the 4-year- old
girl was sent out with lunch to carry
to her brother, who was herding cattle
not far from the house. This was the
last seen or heard of the little one un-
til letter from New York came to the
home of the Hattsons from the daugh-
ter, now lady 81 years old.
After her sudden and mysterious dis
appearance the country was searched
for miles around; all the sloughs were
dragged and every effort made to re-
cover the lost child. Finally the search
was given up and the little girl was
mourned as dead by her parents, and
when what was supposed to be bones
of a small child and some pieces of
clothing were found in large slough
near the Mattson farm, it was thought
certain that the little one was dead.

THE TURKS REPLY
Porte Answers the Joint Note of Foreign
DIPLOMATS.

Diplomats.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct lathe porte's
reply to the Joint note of the six
powers relative to the recent rioting
here has been made public The
government enumerates the steps
that were taken to maintain order,
and declares that Mussulmans were
not the aggressors in the rioting. 1t
further says that the Armenians killed
inoffensive Mohammedans, and that in
certain cases the Mohammedans had
to defend themselves against their
attacks. The reply denies the reports
that the government forbade the send
ing of supplies to the Armenians who
had sought refuge in the churches, and
declares that the refugees will soon
leave the churches and return to their
homes, and the city will resume its
normal aspect.
1t is announced that the government
is about to open an inquiry for the pur-
pose of discovering the guilty persons,
and recommends the diplomats to use
their good offices with view to the
restoration of order, especially as the
intrigues of agitators cause fears that
more serious outbreaks may occur in
the capital.
The presence of the British fleet at
Semnos, at the entrance TO the Darda-
nelles, continues to cause anxiety to
the sultan, and he has made a second
appeal to Sir Philip Currie, the British
am bassador, to secure the with
drawal of the British warships. Thus
far his appeal, like the first
one, has been without avail This
leads to the belief among the foreign
residents that Great Britain intends to
persist in her demands, even though
the other powers should declare them
selves as satisfied with the concessions
the porte has announced itself as being
willing to make.
Thursday evening the plan of the
ambassadors to have their dragomans
assist in procuring the evacuation Of
the churches by the refugees was put
into effect and the churches were va
Gated in their presence, the govern
ment having positively undertaken
that the refugees should not be mo-
Tested. Thus one of the indictments
to further trouble has been removed.

Casting House at the Cleveland Rolling
Mills Collapses.


Mills Collapses.
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 14.-Four men
were killed and seven others probably
fatally injured as the result of an I'M
explainable accident at the Cleve
land rolling mills at 9 o'clock
Friday night The furnaces were
carrying heavy fires, and the casting
department was working a full force.
Without warning, and in a manner
wholly inexplicable. the casting
house, the largest building of the
plant, collapsed, burying many
of its inha biuants in the debris. As
quickly as possible relief came to the
imprisoned men, and when all were
rescued it was found that three
were dead and eight badly injured.
One of the injured men died
soon after being removed. Of the
killed, Charles Wakefield was cooked
to death by molten metal. The dead
are: Charles Wakefield, Vett Kesarth,
Anton German and a mlddle-aged man
not vet identified. The injured were
taken to the hospitals and none of
them can give their names.

The Carp In England.

The true carr, who occupies the proud
position of head of the family, is but
naturalized alien in our British waters.
BY origin he is Chinaman, and he still
abounds in his wild condition among the
mighty rivers of the Flowery Land. The
human Chinaman, however, has been
noted from all time for his strict atten-
ton to the main chance. He doesn't let
the grass grow under his feet and never
allows good thing to escape him. So
many centuries since he domesticated
the carp and passed it on by transport
to his friends and neighbors. At an
early date the oriental stranger was nat
uralized in Germany, and in the days
of James | it arrived in England.
Its diffusion by human hands is facil-
itated by the fact that it can live for
many weeks at time out of water, es-
pecially if packed in moist leaves or
damp linen. This is common peculiar
ity of pond haunting fishes, for ponds
are always liable to dry up in summer,
and the fish which inhabit them have
therefore learned from ancestral expert
ence to bury themselves in the mud
while the drought lasts, and to do as
best they may without supply Of wa
ter. In fact, existing species of pond
fish are the descendants of the survivors
which have thus managed to escape the
droughts of ages. -Cornhill Magazine.

A certain duchess was obliged to
pay visit to convent on a cold
winters day. The convent was poor,
there was a dearth of wood, and the
friars had nothing but their charity
and the ardor of their prayers to
keep out the cold. The duchess got a
chill during her stay in the comfort
less parlor of the convent, and return
ed home filed with pity for the suffer
ing friars. while the maid was remov-
ing her mistress cloak, adding logs
to the cheerful fire and preparing a
warm drink, the duchess summoned
her steward, and ordered some wood
to be sent Immediately TO the convent.
She then had her couch moved close
to the tireside, the warmth of which,
together with the cordial, soon reviv-
ed her. The recollection of what she
had just suffered was speedily lost i'm
her present comfort; and, when the
steward came in again to ask how
many loads of wood to send, the great
lady remarked carelessly: "Oh, you
may wait. The weather is very much
milder now" The warmth of the
room had cooled her charity.

There is touching little story told
of the late Charles Kingsley. One
Sunday morning, at church where
he had to preach, he was going up the
pulpit stairs, when he suddenly stoop-
ed down and, to the congregations
surprise, disappeared from view.
They sat patiently, wondering what
could have happened; but the preach
er still did not show himself. A church
OFF, al who went in search of him
found Kingsley in the vestry, looking
closely at something which he held in
the palm of his hand. 1t was a half
dead butterfly. The little insect had
strayed in from the sunshine through
an open window, and, while fiuttering
about, had in some way injured wing.
AS it lay struggling on the stairs lead
ing to the pulpit, Kingsley,s quick
eye detected il. His kind heart would
not allow him to leave it there, to be
roughly brushed aside, or perhaps
trodden on. So he had at once carri-
ed it to a place of safety.-The EUan-

4 HEROINE INDEED.

A fifteen year old heroine, Lillian
McMullen, sacrificed her own life to
save two children in her charge, in
crossing the ice of Peconic Bay, Long
Island, short time ago. Into hole
in the Ice covered by snow she went
suddenly, and called to the little ones
to "keep back" with the big dog that
accompanied them. Hurrying OH in
stead, hoping to help her, the two lit
tie girls themselves plunged through
the ragged ice into the water. By
one almost superhuman effort after
another, Lillian at last succeeded in
raising the younger child, eight years
old, on to ice firm enough for the dog
to grasp it's clothing and drag it on to
safety.
Time after time, till her strength
was exhausted, the young heroine
made the the same efforts for the old
er girl, the ice continually breaking
away under the double weight. At
length, when she could lift no longer,
she said to the child: cpl hold on fast.
You climb up over me. Hurry up! [
can't last much longer" Effort after
effort failed. "Make one more trial."
she said; and the ten year-old girl
managed to get her head and shout
ders above water. The dog seized her
and tugged. Lillian made one last effort
to push the child up. 1t was success
full. Then she made one final endeav-
or to save herself; but, chilled and
worn out, her hands slipped from the
ice edge. And she went down to
come up no more.
There is mourning for the faithful
orphan girl in the home of Superin-
tendent George Gordon at North Ha-
ven, whose children she saved; and,
beyond question, her memory will be
revered as that of a saint by those
two children she saved; and, those to
whom they are precious. But the
splendor of the self sacrifice, in awful
suffering, in the presence of such
death, the resolution, the courage, the
devotion, of Lillian McMullen, entitle
her her to have her name and the sto-
ry of her deed told wherever the
qualities of heroism and sanity nobil
ity are held in honor.-Scrdnton (Pd.)

GRIEF FROM A MEDICAL
STANDPOINT.

The nervous system requires COM
row. Recent medical observations
show that the physical results of de-
pressing emotions are similar to
those caused by bodily accidents, ia
tigue, chill, partial starvation and loss
of blood. Birds, moles, and dogs,
which apparently died in consequence
of capture, and from conditions that
correspond in human beings to acute
nostalgis, and broken heart, were
examined after death as to the con-
was found that the nutrition of the
tissues had been interfered with, and
the substance proper of various vital
organs had undergone the same kind
of degeneration as that brought about
by phosphorus or the germs of in
fictitious disease. The poison of grief
is more than name. To urge work,
study, travel, the vain search for
amusements, is both useless and
dangerous. For time the whole or
ganism is overthrown, and tempo
rary seclusion is imperative for a
proper readjustment.
Grief cannot be ignored, neither
can it be cheered up. 1t must be ac-
cepted and be allowed to wear itself
away. REIMBURSEMENT comes slowly.
Sorrow, grief and all great misfort-
unes should be regarded as conditions
similar to infectious diseases, which
they resemble in result and later as
convalesence from such diseases.
Seclusion, rest, sleep, appropriate food,
fresh air, sunshine, interests that tax
neither mind nor body, these are the
requirements of this class of illness.

The fact may be known to many
that there are in New York GER
tain portions of the true cross of
Christ which are of undoubted au-
thenticity. 1t seems extraordinary
that uthese bits of wood could have
been preserved down through the
ages for nearly nineteen thousand
years. And yet the historical records,
as explained further on, make it plain
that it was not SO surprising after all.
In the church of ST. Francis Xavier
in that city, is small piece of the
wood of the true cross. This was
shown on Easter Day, as is the GUS
tom of the churches of Europe which
possess bits of the cross. At the Ca
thedral in that city relic of the true
cross is exposed for public venera-
ton on Good Friday. This relic is in
crystal and gold casket set with pre-
cious stones, and forms the center of
a handsome altar cross. The French
Church of St.John the Baptist, in East
Seventy sixth Street, also possesses
relic of the cross.
Every church which is the custodian
of a portion of the cross is also in pos
session of a document bearing the
seal of the Vatican, and testifying to

President Hayes was always noted
for his thrifty habits, but some things
which impressed the multitude as
signs of meanness were really moth
ing but ordinary prudence. For ex
ample, we all used to wonder why he
would persist, while drawing salary
of $780, year, in wearing silver
plated Waterbury watch, worth pos
sibly So. He was aware that his prac
tice was known, and any establishment
manifested amused him, instead of
making him angry. In answer to a
look OF surprise, ne would say, "I
think that is pretty plain watch for
the president of the United States to
carry, but 1t is good American Make"
as if assuming that this fact would
counterfeit the effect of the cheapness
of the article. The truth was that al
most weekly deputation of Western
Indians called upon him always bring
ing presents of some kind to the Great
Father. OF course, he was expected
to give something in return; and the
object was to find something cheap
and at the same time acceptable.
Watches were a novelty to the In
dams, and to present chief with
watch which the Great Father him
self had been carrying always impress
ed him greatly. Having discovered
this, and not caring to distribute gold
watches, or even silver ones, Mr..
Hayes hit upon the expedient of buy
ing nickel watches at $36 dozen, and
always made it convenient to have
one with him against an emergency.
