Budapest has for me an invincible attraction, and when on the morrow-a warm, bright day-I was at last permit ted to install myself in the shade high up on one of the balconies of the Hotel Hungaria, overlooking the Danube, experienced one of the most agreeable sensations that recall. Here the ample breadth of the stream diminishes the force of the current, and the Danube passes majestically under the two i'm posing bridges, which hide its course where it bends far below beyond the town with the dimensions and the ap- pearance of a stream opening out into the sea. In front frowns the ancient and lofty fortress of Buda, which formerly held Hungary abject and trembling un- der its cannon, and the burg, formerly imperial, where watched the implacable eye of the conQueror. Both fortress and burg, however, are to disappear forever.
 A new royal chateau is going up near by, which will take the place of the old yellow barracks, which servo now as a dwelling for the king of Hungary in this capital, finally recovered from the age long domination of Austria. Below the life of the river is unceasing, and the whole warm, brilliant, animated picture is most enlivening. Budapest the very word names an idea which is big with the future. It is synonymous with restored liberty, unfolding now at each forward step; it is the future open ing up before a growing people. Whole districts of the capital will one day be rebuilt and reappear under fresh as pect, and tbls immense meeting point between the east and the west adds daily to its power and its attractions Nineteenth Century.

ONE HUNDRED BURNED.
All the Inhabitants of Beaver Island Thought to Be Lost.
DESTROYED BY BIG FOREST FIRES.
The Little Island In the Straits of Maclxi- nav Has Been Swept Over by Flames, and There Is No Apparent Hope That Any oT the Fishermen on It Have Escaped.

the Fishermen on It Have Escaped.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-A special from Mar inette, Wis, referring to the Beaver is land fire says:
 The probability is that 100 residents of Beaver island, located II Green bay, at the entrance of the straits of Mackinaw, have been burned to death in the forest fires which have desolated the entire island during the last few days
 Captain Young of the steamer Cuba, which arrived hero, reports that Beaver island is on fire. Wednesday night the is land was enveloped in flames, which could be seen by passing vessels for many miles out in Lake Michigan.
 The inhabitants, who are employed in fishing and numbering, number about 100. The island is 50 miles from the mainland, and it is not believed that aid could have been secured in time to save life and prop erty.
 Beaver island is the largest in tho group of islands near the straits of Mackinaw, and on this island many years ago James J. Strange, the Mormon prophet attempt ed to establish Mormon kingdom, which failed upon his death. His body is buried on the island. The capital of his kingdom was St James, at the northern extreme of the island
 The land is very fertile and in parts is heavily wooded. Farming and numbering are carried on to some extent, but fishing is the principal industry. Few vessels stop at the island, but vessels bound through the straits of Mackinaw frequently pass in sight of it..

Another Account.

MARINETTE. Wis, Aug. 3.-Captain Young of the steamer Cuba, which arrived here, reports that all of Beaver island is afire. Flames were devastating it Thurs day night, and much anxiety is felt for the small settlement on it.
 Tho island is populated by a colony of about 100 persons who are engaged in farming on the clearings. Lakc captains arriving here say the whole island has been laid waste and that the inhabitants are homeless and without food.
 The island occupies q prominent place in the history of this part of the country, it having been in the early fiftios the home of King Strange, Mormon, who had many fights and was finally killed and his band of followers scattered. Bea- yer island is on the lower end of Lako Michigan, near the straits of Mackinaw, and is about 30 miles from the mainland. There arc two settlements on the main island known Ss St. James and Gillette.

ARCH MURDERER HOLMES.
Evidence All in and Argument Begins
 Today.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1-Tomor- row night the world wiM probably know whether or not Holmes will hang. When the trial began last Monday, everybody anticipated a siege of at least two weeks, but yesterday the case took sudden turn and today another which will help to push it to a swift conclusion.
 The decision of Judge Arnold that no testimony would be admitted other than bearing directly on the murder of Benjamin F. Pietzel had the effect of keeping out a group of gruesome exhibits, and silencing about thirty witnesses. It prevented the offering in evidence of the mouldered bones of the boy, Howard Pietzel, the stove in which he was burned, the clothes he wore when he had body to put in side of them, the toys he played with and the trunk which smothered out the lives of the girls, Alice and Nellie.
 District Attorney Graham fought as hard as he knew how to get this evidence in, but the law wasagainst him and the defense scored it's first victory. When he found himself bested he said he would close his case this morning and he kept his word.
 The defense then announced they would submit the case on argument alone, which will begin tomorrow morning and probably end before the day is over.

AIR DOES NOT KILL.
The Wind Preceding Shot Found to Be
 Harmless.

Harmless.
 The old belief that projectiles some times kill men in battle without hitting them must be abandoned in view of re- cent scientific experiments. 1t was for merly supposed that the air compressed and driven before the projectile, and technically called ''the wind of the shot," was capable of striking fatal blow, and even army surgeons have as sented to this theory.
 But, says Youths Companion, ex- perinents have shown that the air driven by projectile, while capable of being instantaneously photographed in the form of wave, does not possess sufficient energy to produce any de- structive effect.
 Another theory which recent investi- gations have overturned is that the ex- plosive effect sometimes exhibited by bullets is due to compressed air driven into the wound.
 Experience shows that the appear ance of explosion arises from the na- ture of the substance penetrated by the bullet. If this substance is plastic or watery, the impulse of the projectile is distributed laterally in all directions among it's particles, and they are driven asunder.
 Such an effect has been noticed in battle when bullets have entered the brain. and accusations of using ezplo- sive projectiles, contrary to the conity of nations, have been based upon them. By firing bullets into wet dough, every indication of an explosion has been pro- duced, although the same bullets, fired with identical velocity, into solid sub stances like bone, made only. round, clean-cut boles
