SWORD OF A GIANT.
Strange Discovery Made in Excavating
for Foundation.

Tor q EOunuAClOn
Workmen engaged in putting new
stills under an outbuilding on Col.
Fleischner's property, adjoining the
residence of Mr. Rudolph Goldsmith,
on 7th street, made remarkable find
yesterday in the shape of an old-fash-
toned tWo-handed sword. To have
found any kind of a sword in such
place would have been remarkable,
says the Portland Oregonian, but no
one would ever imagine that under an
outbuilding in Portland would be
found a two-handed sword such as was
in use in the middle ages-that is, dur
ing the eleventh, twelfth and thir-
tee1th centuries, in the time OF the
crusades, when fighting men wore plate
armor and knights-errant wandered
about the world rescuing lovely pr1n-
cesses from enchanters, giants, ogres
and other bad men" of those days.
When this business was dull, as Mark
Twain puts it, they went a-grail1ng"
that is, in search of the holy grail,
which was nothing and was to be found
plies, was to be used with both hands,
and if it failed to cut through an
enemy's armor the force Of the blow
was enough to knock him fat. The
blade Of the sword is four feet long and
continues past the guard nine inches
as tang for the handle, which is
composed of two pieces of oak, ap-
parently, having a round knob or pom
mel at the end and dark with age. The
guard is simple bar Of iron about ten
inches in length. The whole iron work
has been hammered out and is OF
course, now very rusty. The blade is
tWO-edged, so as to "cut EN-
a-comin and a-gwine," and the weap-
on looks as if it might be a genuine
relic of olIen times, when such swords
were used by men Of might, whose
bones are dust, whose swords, as a gen
eTal thing, are rust and everything
said about whose souls must be taken
on trust" A number Of people who
handled the sword yesterday judged
it to weigh all the way from fifteen to
twenty-five pounds, but it kicked the
beam at ten pounds. Just how the
sword came under the clubhouse no one
can imagine. The building was moved
there some twenty-five years ago and
has not been disturbed since. Perhaps
this paragraph may meet the eye OF
some one who can throw light on the
subject, for the sword was doubtless
placed under the building since it was
-eoved there 1t is not probable that
any old crusader went through this
way en- route to the holy land, and no
such swords have been in use since
this country was discovered, and the
people who lived here before that knew
nothing of iron If it is genuine relic
it is of considerable value.

MR.. TIMM RESIGNS.
He Sewers His Connection With the Ster-
ling Company.

Charles Timm, general superintend-
ent of the Sterling Cycle works, has
resigned his position. Mr.. Timm came
here with the factory from Chicago
and had been general superintendent
of the works there for some time. The
prise to most of the people of the city
who are not on the inside of affairs of
the Sterling company.
Mr. Timm when seen this morning
by a representative of this paper stated
that the resignation took effect July /.
When asked his reason for the acton
he stated that he had not been able to
get along we'll with the company and
he felt that his resignation was more
desired than his services and he acted
accordingly.
1t is understood that the company
had not turned out within 5000 or
1000 of the number of wheels it had
expected to and in fact had capacity
for and as consequence that number
of orders had had to go untitled and
that this fact led to the misunder
standing with Mr.. Timm.
When Mr.. Timm was asked if he had
anything in view for the future he re-
piled that he expected to organize a
new company at once and so into
wheel manufacturing again at once.
He has an idea Of entering into part
nership with Andrew Carnegie at
Pittsburg, Pa, and he thinks the new
wheel will be made in that city. He
will remain here for a time, however,
and take vacation.

A blanket mortgage for $5,000,000
covering all its property in Superior,
was filed by the Land and Improve

connection with it chattel mortgage
covering all Of its personal effects was
placed on record. This is the first
step toward the reorganization of the
company, and means the intention to
pay off all outstanding Indebtedness
and start all over again with new capt.

the general objects in view of saving
from sacrifice the enormous holdings in

Prof. E. S. Golf of the State univer-
sity has given his machine for catching
grasshoppers a series of tests this
week in the farming regions west Of
Peshtigo. 1t is very simple in con-
struction and mode of operation. 1t is
made of sheet iron, in the form Of a
shallow trough about ten feet long and
two feet wide, with back Of canvass
four feet high which extends over
and in front Of the ends The trough
is nearly filled by a cloth saturated with
kerosene, which is also used on the
canvas. The trough may be either
pulled or pushed. Hoppers in trying
to escape strike the canvas and fall
upon the trough below, where they
come in contact with the kerosene
soaked cloth, which stupefies and kills
them.
Three men concealed themselves in
a box car in the Chicago & North
Western yards at Oshkosh. They
went from Chicago TO Kilbourn City on
instructions from an employment
agency. They failed to get the work
promised and were beating their way
home. The car was loaded with rail
road car trucks, and in the switching
one truck got loose and rolled over two
of the men. One, Michael Ozook, was
crushed so badly about his head and
chest that he will die. Stephen Gal
lawitch was also crushed, but will re-
cover.

No new track will be laid on the west

Editorial IdyI.

Softly the light from the open fire
fiickered and fell upon the man and
woman sitting before it. as the evening
drifted silently into the night.
1t was the cleaning time, when
there comes hush upon the world and
voices are stilled to whispers lest the
day, as it sinks to sleep, may be dis
turbed
They sat silent; thinking, thinking;
dreaming of the far-away hours when
love was young, and the Pickering
light drew strange fantastic figures on
their faces.
At last the woman spoke, still gaz-
ing into the freight, and her voice
was soft and low as a strain of distant
music across a moonlit lake.

Before the parson could protest he
thrust pistol into his hand and babe

rode off to raise the county. Meanwhile,
the rif1ed travellers came up with the
parson, who. straightway mistaking
them for thieves, fired without effect,

Noticeable in the Lower and Middle
Classes.
'One day in Charing Gross station,
London" says a woman recently re-
turned from a considerable stay in the
English metropolis to Philadelphia
Times man, Il noticed four young men
walking up and down the platform,
smoking and twirling their canes.
Presently from a third-class carriage
of an incoming train stepped four good
looking girls, weighted down with
shaWls, lunch baskets and valises. BY
the men, who had evidently been wait
ing for them, they were cordially
greeted, but not relieved of their lug
gage. So far as my eyes could follow
their progress saw the girls still drag
ging their belongings and the men
twirling their canes. The incident
strikingly illustrates the attitude taken
toward women by Englishmen of the
lower and middle classes. English
women of no class have rs nearly freed
themselves from the help of the men
have not begun emancipation. The
new gospel has not yet been preached
unto them. The attitude Of an English
girl toward her young man is of an
inferior toward a superior. When
walking with him Sunday afternoon
she is humbly receptive. She permits
herself no assertion OF preferences If
the young man in his mlghtineSs
chooses to make a remark, she smiles.
If he questions she shakes her head or
signs a unacceptable. If he wishes to
sit down, she sits down. If he desires
to kiss her, she lets herself be kissed.
She accepts everything as from god.
That the eyes of the deity may not be
offended, she is gowned in her best.
Half her head is covered with woolly
curls, protected from the breezes and
the fog by the net Of consecrated fash
ion Her faring hat, covered with
cheap flowers, is airily pinned on the
neckward slope Of her head. With no
coquetry other than this pluming Of her
person does she attempt to please her

the woman's intellectual life. An Eng
lish settlement worker said to me, when
I demonstrated at his having Sunday

The BHptist Preacher Calls tho
Archbishop q Reretie.


In the Calvary Baptist Church. West Fifty
seventh street, the Rev. DIR. r.. S. Macarthur
yesterday morning spoke about 1.-THE Responsi-
bilitlss OF the Political Victory" A large
American flag waved In front Of the church aud
one on either side OF and above the pulpit. DR..
Macarthur said in part:
Great responsibilities rest upon the inoom-
ing administration Tho victory achieved
brings with IL many sober realizations. Care
must be given at once to the continuance and
Improvement of civil service in all govern
mental relations. No truly Intelligent and
patriotic Government can afford to give
Offices simply as a reward for political services.
This country has beon frequently misrepre-
sentcd by men II has sont to foreign courts.
Tho Government must also see that all
churches stand on an equality before the law.
We have no American church In this country.
In the nature Of the case we cannot have an
American church. Every true American pa
triot must oppose tho granting OF special privi-
leRes to any one church on the military reserva-
ton at West Point. / oppose the granting of
permission to the Roman Church to erect a
house of worship for its exclusive use on Gov
srnment property. not simply because X is the
would oppose IL In the case Of Baptists, Presby-
terians. Methodists, or any other church.
THE Roman Church met with q severe do.
feat in tho recent election. II was boasted that
not more than one paper under the direction of
that Church favored the candidate who. was
elected, and that a paper Of comparatively little
influence.
Ever Archbishop Ireland's own diocesan
organ, the Northwestern Chronicle of st. Paul,
was on the side of the defeated candidate.
Judging by papers OF the Roman Church 4 Is
fair to assume that nearly tho solid vote OF that
Church went for the defeated candidate. 40
cording to present indications Archbishop Ire
land is likely To be known as the Apostle of
Heresy for his religious as we'll as for his politi-
cal views.
The incoming Administration will probably
inherit u troublesome legacy In the Cuban
question. This Government will have to take q
very decided stand before long regarding that
island. Spain has been n cruel tyrant religious
ly and politically toward Cuba. Spain is still In
the middle ages in religion and politics.
"Grent responsibility will come upon the Ad-
ministration in the adjustment of an equitable
tariff. We shall also before many years discuss
the whole question Of improved methods of
electing our Presidents. Very grave questions
are before the Prcsident-elcct, but he will be
enthusiastically supported by the sympathy.

at st. Andrews NJ. Y. Church in Seventy sixth
street, near Columbus avenue, by tho Rev. DIR.

mon was eloquent. His hearers were so inter-

lea was for Americans, and for Americans only.
the fashionable congregation forgot itself so
much as to interrupt him by loudly npplauding.
The preacher declared that while there were
some evils for which we might not feel dis
posed to render thanks, still there were a thou
sand blessings for which gratitude should be
given to God.
There is no %nation,'' he said. where mon
