Yrodigious Tssk UnAsrtsken ~ ~ Agea
Cabinet Maker.
Out In the wilds of Wisconsin, In tho
little rural village of Martintown, Green
county. lives one of the most industrious
men of the century. He Ii Peter Haases
a cabinet-malker. Ten years ago he con-
ceived the idea and perfected plans in
detail of the most ingenious and elabor-
ate combination bookcase and writing
cabinet In the world. Having saved
enough money to support him the re-
Inainder of his life. he began the con-.
struction of not only one Of these cab
inets, but of Is, finishing certain part
of each at the same time before adyanc-
ing further.
The cabinets are inlaid with all Of the
native woods, the boards having been In
his shop seasoning for over IL years.
When completed the Is cabinets VIII
contain 100000 pieces of wood. Some
idea of the time required for the com
pletion of this undertaking may be had
by knowing that it would take man,
working eight hours day, one year to
simply sort and count 100000 such
pieces, many of which will have to be
handled 20 times by Mr.. Haase before
being permanently adjusted. The top
of each cabinet is to contain 1000 pieces
and each of the posts 1000. The aged
workman figures that it will take him
six years more to finish his work, and
the IS pieces of furniture will be COM
pleted at the same time.
Mr.. Haase is II years of age, but is
hale, hearty and full of hope and de-
termination to complete this wonder
full work to which he applies himself
enthusiastically every workday. His
patience and perseverance are remarkar
BILE. He counts on each cabinet being
worth IS 900 SIS, 900 for the lot-when
completed, and believes that investing
his time in making them will prove
more profitable than spending his
money on life insurance would have
been.

A New York Recorder special from

Bay, Mass, President Cleveland's sum-

hibition by two rival ministers in front
of the pulpit in Franklin hall the other
Sunday, just before the opening OF the

As there Is no church building here

minister from Bourne officiating. He
had failed to show up for several Sum
days, and the clergyman from Focas-
sett was summoned. They both en-
tered the hall ut the same time, met
or the platform and exchanged angry
words.
"You have no business here at all, !"
said the minister from Pocassett.
"You are not minister, and You
know it, he continued, 'apd this is no
place for you to be-"
The excitement grew intense. The
ministers clinched and IL looked as IL
they would fall in heap ON the floor.
but they broke away just in time.
When they finally separated the min
lister from Bourne walked down to the
end of the hall and stood beside the
stove and glared at his rival until the
services were over. but hostilities were
not resumed.

Some Rare Coins Sent to Bank by
Baltimore Widow.
A widow deposited $40 900 in quarters
and half dollars the other day in the
Second national bank of Washington.
A number of the pieces are worth much
more than their face value on account
of age, the value of many of them
reaching SIS. The widow who de-
posted this strange collection of coins
told the officers of the bank that O
short time ago her husband died. They
were then living in Baltimore. During
his lifetime, unknown to her, he had
been interested in the collection of rare
coins. After his death she learned he
had considerable sum of money, all
in small denominations, In a vault in
the monumental city. The widow in
vestigated the report, and found s2o,-
600, half being in gold and the rest in
silver. The latter she brought to this
city, where she will In the future make
her home. The gold is still In Balti-
more, but will be transferred to Wash
ington in few days. The coins on
which there are premiums viii be kept
separate and disposed Of TO the best nd

as it was practically case of insuring
the duchess life against that of her

JAPAN'S TRADE.

About Forty Per Cent. of All Exports Sent
to the United States
Japan's recent great strides In trade
und commerce form the subject of a
long report to the state department
from James f. Connolly, United States
consul at Hiogo. Mr.. Connolly tells of
the wonderful progress in manufac-
lures, arts, etc. The opening up of
China to the investment of cafStal and
trade operations, accomplished by the
japanese themselves will eventually,
according to Mr.. Connolly, prove per-
haps the most serious drawback to the
future trade of japan. He thinks that
until the operation of the revised tIea-
ties with japan are tested and prece-
dents established as to the rights of in
dividuals and of property the prefer
ence in all matters connected with in
vestments of capital and trade pursuits
will be in favor of China
Figures given in the report show that
the United States purchased about 40
per cent. of all japanese merchandise
sold for export last year. American
merchandise sold for import shows O
decrease for 1895 as compared with the
previous year.
In making inquiries on the subject
OF American trade Mr.. Connolly was
told generally that the quality Of Amer
icQh products was excellent but the
Producers did not seem to consider the
trade of Japan sufficiently important
toxemodel their prices and freight rates
to the extent necessary to meet the
competition.

Reform Demanded.

E. l.. Benbrook, who had been ab- sent four weeks assessing property for taxation, returned to Globe on Tues day. His trip extended to the most remote portions of the county, and the list of property assessed is fairly coln- plete, although there are few cases
 which will require further investit,a- tion. The assessment of perscrial property and the collection of taxes upon the same has always Teen source of great annoyance and loss to the county. A reform in this matter is urgently demanded If the county is to be saved from bankruptcy. and there is only one remedy for the abuse, namely, to exact the payment of taxes on all personal property, not secured by realty, at the lime of assessing, or else to require bond to be given for the payment of the same. Another bad feature is the false returns of personal property, and particularly livestock, made each year. Probably not more than two-thirds of the cattle in the county are given in for taxa tion and the victims of this dishonest practice are the honest taxpayers who are compelled to pay the utmost limit of 4 per cent. whereas, could full and fair assessmant he obtained. the rate of taxation would show a material reduction. The only way to overcome this evil is to make an example of one or two of the most fragrant offenders by rounding mp and selling their stuck under distraint and by prosecuting them in tue courts for perinrY
