Shortly after O'Clock telephone mes

The smoke at the state house was of the
same character.
The firemen say that these smoke alarms
come almost every year late in April or

They are of the ephemera, and have but a
day or two of life, disappearing as suddenly
as they have come. They are classed among
the neuroptera, on account of their similar

4 Light Hreeze.


From Harper's Round Table.
During one of the recent windy days in
New York discussion arose between some
gentlemen at dinner about the velocity of
wind Each related boastful story Of his
own experiences. One of the party, hardy
westerner said he was once riding i'm a train
through Kansas.
There was what is called out there a
light breeze blowing. / had occasion TO
look out of the window, and the moment
/ put my head cut off went my hat"
What did you do?' asked one of the
party.
We'll, gentlemen, several people told me
not to worry, that the breeze was strong
enough to take il there. l sort of wonder
ed what they meant but that hat was
handed to me 10y the station agent at our
next stop, about forty miles from where IL
blew out Of the window. We came along
pretty fast. tool guess about nifty miles
an hour. But then eighty miles an hour

From the Chicago Tribune.
j. H. Wyman of Chicago went to New

They were waiting for the same boat.

stranger, glancing at button on Wyman's

From st. Nicholas.
Another illustration of uses to which
metecrites may be put before their real
character is known is afforded by those
of kiowa county, Kan. They fell on q
prairie wharc rocks were scarce and valu-
able, and the farmers of the vicinity found
meteorites convenient for holding down
hayStacks, stable roofs or covers to rain
barrels. For such purposes they might
have been used for lons time had not the
WIFE OF one of the farmers become convinced

them, and called in an expert to examine
them. He at once recognized their nature.

Latest Mail Advices.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The latest
mail from La Guayra contains the long
expected addition to the case of Vene-
Zuela as it will be laid before the Vene-
zuela boundary commission. The work
was undertaken at Caracas by a volun-
teer commission, whose services were ac-
cepted by the Venezuela government, and
which collected all the material acces
sible in Venezuela bearing upon the boun-
dairy dispute. The matter so far collected
was dispatched promptly by the home
government to its minister here, Senior
Andrade, and while the documents them
selves are now in New York, the advance
mail has brought to Washington a COM
plete list of the papers comprised in the
installment. There are thirty-two cop
les of the original manuscript records in
the lot, but these, after all are of sec
ondarily Importance in comparison with
the large number of maps and charts that
have been gathered DO sustain the Vene-
zuela case. In this first lot of matter,
there are no less than sixty maps, und
in addition there are references to al
most twice as many additional charts,
that may be readily obtained This store
of material will be turned over to the
Venezuela commission as soon as 1T can

Interesting Matter.

BOSTON, March 21-The Guinez junta
IN this city today received from George
town, Guiana, under date of March 8, a
letter containing interesting matter con-
corning the Venezuela boundary dispute.
1t says:
Mr.. James Roadway, the historian on
the boundaries of British Guiana, to
whom was assigned the task of prepar-
ing the case for British Guiana, in the
venezuela imbroglio, Independent of Eng
land, has concluded his work.
The writer states that a copy of Mr..
Reedway's statement has been sent to
the Venezuela government at Caracas,
but that none will be sent either to the
colonial Office in England, the British
ambassador at Washington, or the
United States government.
The letter adds that the Guiana Iegis-
lature has passed a law to restrict i'm
migration similar to the present law of
the United States. 1t refuses admission
to every immigrant who cannot produce
500 in cash or find security for his main
tenance for one year.

ST. LOUIS, March PHI. E. Taube-
neck, chairman of the national execu-
tive committee of the Peoples party,
who has just returned from the
Hutchinson, Kan, convention, said in
an interview:
Il believe we will carry next fall all
the territories and a majority of the
states of the south and west-Colora-
do, Montana, Idaho, Nevada. Wyoming,
Utah, Oregon, Washington, California,
Kansas, Nebraska, the two Dakotas,
and, L believe, Iowa. We have a good
fighting chance in Missouri, and are
certain to sweep Texas, and will carry
every congressional district in the lat
Ter state, with the possible exception of
three.
I'm the south we will carry without
question Alabama, Georgia and North
and South Carolina. If the union of
forces between the silver advocates and
ourselves is as harmonious as every
thing now indicates it will be, we eX-
pect to capture all the states south of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers with the
possible exception of West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee, where the
fight will be between US and the Re
publicans. This would leave the Re
publicans sixteen states east of the
Mississippi and north of the Potomac
and Ohio, without taking the Demo-
Gratis into the calculation at all.
when the national convention of
The Peoples party and the National
Silver party assemble in st. Louis,
speaking as the chairman of the ma
tional executive committee of the
former, / assure you every effort con-
sistent with party honor and every
concession not involving a departure
from principles, will be made to form a
coalition between the two organiza-
tions.
Candidates for the first and second
places on the presidential ticket will
be selected with reference to their
ability to draw votes from all the re-
form parties in the country and from
the dissatisfied among the members of
the two old parties as we'll.
Whether our candidate for presi-
dent will be Stewart or Tillman or
Cameron, 1 am not prepared to say.
Jones of Nevada is cut of the question
because he is not a native OF the
United States
My individual belief is that our
candidate will come from the west or
the south. People distrust a man from
the east.
While our declaration of party prin-
cipies viii involve an expression of
other issues the financial plank will
form the broadcast and biggest part of
our platform.
We demand the free and. unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the
ration of 16 to l, Independent of the ac-
ton of any other nation"

Insurgent-A Great Piece of Work.
HAVANA, March Lieutenant
Colonel Frances, in operating against
Cayajabos, province of Pinar del Rio,
first opened fire upon the insurgents
position and then charged with the
bayonet and dislodged the enemy, who
left fourteen killed and had many
wounded. The troops lost seven men
killed and had three officers and forty
four privates wounded.
The troops commanded by Colonel
Molina have captured an insurgent.
The insurgent captured turned out to
be quite an important prisoner, as he
furnished the Spanish officer with all
the details of the filibustering eXpedi-
ton which landed at Varadara, near
Cardenas, where the troops seized three
boats loaded with arms and ammuni-
ton intended for the insurgents.
A numerous band of insurgents I'M

THEY'RE AFTER ME-"
This is the Song Reverend Brown

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-Unde-
TERED by the character of the findings
of the ministerial council, the opposi-
ton to the Rev. c. Q. Brown has
started a new effort to depose the
pastor of the First Congregational
church. A meeting of the parishion-
ers opposed to Brown was held last
night. Plans were discussed for secur-
ing petition to ask DR.. Brown to re-
sign his ministry. They did not ap-
prove OF the verdict and did not think
that DR.. Brown should preach next
Sunday or any ether day.
A vote was taken on the suggestion
that DR.. Brown should leave the min
1stry. One of the members said that
ne did not believe in sending a pes
ttferous ship to a clean port

Thought that great slur had been
placed upon it by the manner in which
the people received DIR. Brown on We'd
nesday night. She said that she did
not believe they had done the proper
thing. - ~
As the object of the meeting was IN
act for the best welfare of the church
those present decided that il would
be Judicious to take the opinion of as
many OF the church members as nos
sible in regard TO Dr. Brown.
The meeting resolved itself into
committee OF the whole to find ont tho
general opinion that exists in tbe
church regarding DR.. Brown
