derstood the company will dispose of
the Iron and Steel Company stock.

DUBOIS RETURNS TO THE CAPITAL
lie Predicts the Election Of Silver
President in 90.

Washington, June 1.-Senator Dubois
of Idaho is back from visit to his
home. He was asked today what silver
legislation would be enacted by the next
congress.
There will be no silver legislation
whatever" he said. 1T would be ut
terly useless to pass a silver bill and
then have the president veto it. There
is no need of passing a silver bill until
we have a silver president, and in my
judgment we will have such a president
in 1896"

EMPLOYEES WAGES ARE ADVANCED
First Turn of the Tide of Ill Luck That
BcfcIl Homestead.

Pittsburg, Pa. June 1.-The advance of
10 per cent. in the wages of the Carnegie
employees, which was announced a fort
night ago, goes into effect today. Twen-
ty-five thousand men are affected by the
raise, this being the first turn in the tide
of depression which was inaugurated by
the sweeping reductions of 1892, which pre-
cipitated the riots and bloodshed at Home
stead. The employees benefited by the
change are distributed as follows: Home
stead Steel Works, 1900 men; Edgar
Thompson Blast Furnace and Steel Plant,
5000 men: the two Union mills in this
city, 5000 men; the Lucy furnaces, 1000
men; Duquesne Steel Works, $500 men;
the Beaver Nail Works, 1,500 men.
1t is claimed by some that even with
the advance the wages of the Carnegie
men are lower than those prevailing else
where, although it is admitted that the
improved machinery used in the Carnegie
works greatly increases the output per
man, and hence increases the remunera-
tion of those paid by the ton or piece.

vENruRED TOO FAR FROM SHORE
Sad Accident at Atlantic City-Foolhardy
Act OF William simpson.

Atlantic City, N. ]. June 2.-The first
drowning accident in the bathing
grounds in over year occurred at the
foot of Illinois avenue today. Charles
r. Thompson of Cleveland, and Miss
Jennie Grogle. aged 81. Of Philadelphia.
were in the water. Thompson took the
young woman a dangerous distance
from the shore to give her swimming
lessons. They were caught in a whirl-
pool near the boat jetty and, becoming
separated, cried for help. There were
scores of bathers on the strand, but no
one started to the rescue, and with a
despairing cry the girl sank beneath
the waves while several looked on. Rob-
ert Brady, brother of the bath house
keeper, heard the woman's last shrek
and, taking off his coat, dashed into the
water to Thompson's assistance, reach
ing him as he was sinking for the last
time.
Mrs. James Fariey. a relative of Miss
Grogle, lodged complaint against
Thompson tonight, charging him with
criminal negligence in'having taken the
unfortunate young woman too far out
from the shore. He was arrested and
at the preliminary hearing said his real
name was Crawford and that he is not
an expert swimmer. He was held with
out bail to await the result of the in
quest.
FOOLHARDY SIMPSON.
Glenwood Springs. Colo, June a.
While William Simpson, head laundry
man at the Hotel Colorado was in COM
pany with a crowd of young men in a
pool, they undertook to outdo each
other in swimming and foolhardy acts
at the fountain. Finally Simpson un-
dertook to sit on the nozzle, from which
the water shoots with pressure of 100
pounds to the inch, with the result that
the water burst him open. He will die.

expedition 1t appears that each gallon of the water, weighing 12A pounds, contains nearly 315 pounds (S.319) of matter in solution, an immense quantity Tn view of the fact that sea water, weighing 1OA pounds per gallon, con- tains less than one-half pound. Of this SK pounds nearly pound is common salt (ohloride of sodium), about two pounds chloride of magnesium and less than one- half pound chloride of calcium (muriate of lime).

Therefore when you are what is commonly known as selfish and grasp ing you can silence your conscience by telling it that you are no worse than the unselfish and sacrificing.

New FIELDS FOR novELlsTs.
Why Does Not Some Writer Use an Eskimo as Heroine?

as Heroine?
 The division of the earth among con- temporary novelists has not as yet in- cluded Greenland, where some new writer can lay the scene of story in which the heroine will wear sealskin trousers and calm her troubled heart with mighty drafts of train oil
 Neither has any novelist seized upon China, where great things may yet be done by a story teller who really knows something of that modern and multitudi- nous sphinx, the Chinaman.
 But with these exceptions there is very little desirable territory which is not pre-empted. This of course greatly hampers new novelists who are com- pelled to write novels dealing only with English men and women at home.
 England is the common possession of everybody, and even the American writer who does not wish to initiate either MT. Harte or Mir. Howells is compelled to lay the scene of his stories in London or in some one of the many little Eng fish colonies to be found in continental cities.
 The English novelist who wishes to write story characterized by some little novelty is reduced to inventing Dodos or other fabulous creatures, an attempt which fails more frequently than it suc- ceeds.
 This state of things is so plain to ev- cry writer that I wonder that no one has rushed in to occupy the Greenland or the Chinese field.
 A Greenland story would at once at tract attention because of it's novelty, and we who have never been to Green land could warmly recognize the truth of it's local color, and the profound knowledge of Eskimo character shown by the writer.
 An advanced Eskimo maiden with a wild desire to wear petticoats instead of trousers and to drink tea instead of train oil could hardly fail to charm the reader.
 I am afraid, however, that the ad vanced Eskimo maid would not survive beyond the first four or five chapters, for understand that whenever an Es- kimo woman exhibits symptoms of ad- vanced thinking she is immediately set adrift on an ice foe-W. l.. Alden in Idler.

Electric Lights.

A Vienna professor gives it as his opinion, after much research on the subject, that all delicate persons and those who suffer from nervousness should never remain long in room lighted by electric lights, it's effect on the nervous system being such that aft CT awhile they generally become uneasy and depressed and find it impossible to concentrate the attention for any length of time. Young persons, on the contrary, and those with strong nerves find the influence of the light extremely beneficial, especially when the brain is overworked and tired, the effect being much the same as that of st, ong coffee -i.

A MANS BEST IDEAS.

An Old Student Says They Come Into the
 Mind Unexpectedly.
 Professor von HeImholtz, the great German scientist of imperishable fame, not long before his death gave an inter esting review of his life work on the oc- casion of the celebration of his seven- tieth birthday, in which, among other things, he reveals some instructive fea- lures of his habits of study and the proo- ess by which he won his ideas as we'll as the time and manner in which it was his wont to commit the latter to paper: "As it has frequently been my lot to have to await in uncertainty the arrival of appropriate thoughts and conceptions, which then would break suddenly and unheralded upon me, have just gained some experience in the management of these capriciOus ideas. This may be of utility to other students of like phys iological temperament.

 ''NO matter how urgent the necessity for action, l must always give my brain it's time to relax from fatigue or strain and await the recurrence of feeling of both physical and mental we'll being and contentment before writing for pub lication. My most valuable ideas have presented themselves in the morning on my awakening from refreshing sleep, but the favorite period for them has been while was seeking relaxation by roaming slowly over picturesque hills or through wooded parks in the bright sunlight.

THIS NEW WOMAN IS NOT A
 POLITICIAN.

My only excuse for telling a political story between campaigns is that heard this particular anecdote just the other day. Last fall new woman set out to proselytize. She was a very young new woman and satisfied with her own polit- ical disability, but strongly determined to make converts for the party to which she fancied she belonged. She was particu- larly interested in certain candidate run ming on the democratic ticket. Her first call was on her own godfather, demo- cratic warhorse, man who has worked and held office for the democratic patty for many years.
 "Godfather," began the new woman, II want to get some votes for friend of mine. He is perfectly lovely man, and 1 want you to promise to vote for him."
 "Maudie," replied the old man, who naturally thought that the girl was ask ing him to make an exception in favor of a republican, from his lifelong habit of voting the straight democratic ticket, "yOu know l would do almost anything for you, but 1 can't go back on my party"
 Maudie pleaded and pleaded, until final ly her godfather relented so far as to ask who the favored candidate might be.
 Why, Judge Blank, of course !" an swered Maude, in some surprise, though his name had not been mentioned up to that time.
 The old mans face was a study for a while. Then he chuckled softly to him. self, and said: "Girlie, have to be asked at my time of life to support nominee of my own party? Don't you know that Juuge Blank is 8 democrat and I an a democrat ?"
 But Maudie had burst into tears. II think you are mean, horrid old man not to have told me that when I began to talk How was l to know to what nasty old party you belonged? I think politics are just awful"
 And the promising political career of one new woman ended right there. .-BuGalO | Express.
