While travelling in Italy, Sir Andrew
Clarke ascended high tower one ev-
ening, and found at the top another
tourist, an EnglishTan. They chatted
pleasantly for a few minutes, when
suddenly the stranger seized Sir An

ly, II am going TO throw you over"
The man was maniac. The physician
had only moment in which to gather
his thoughts, but that moment saved
him. Pooh" ne replied, unconcern-
edly, anybody can throw a man on
the tower. If we were on the ground,
you could not throw me up. That
would be too difficult" Yes, | could"
retorted the maniac; II could easily
throw you up here from the ground.
Let us go down, and l will do It," The
descent was accordingly made, during
which Sir Andrew managed to secure
help and release himself from his peri
lous situation.

New Method OF PropeIlIng Boats.

Many New York shipbuilders have
interested themselves in the trial of a
new propelling apparatus for boats.
The apparatus was patented by Mason
r. Pierce, an eighty-year-old inventor;
Of New York, whose other inventions
in the line of marine machinery have
made his name well known to ship
builders.
The apparatus, which seemed to be
successful at the trial. may supersede
screws and side wheels on vessels. 1t
consists Of two endless chains of pad
dies which strike the water at the keel
of the boat. The model with which
the trial was made shows on a small
scale the apparatus as it would be ap-
piled to an ocean liner. In the centre
of the hull, on lever with the water
line is the machinery, which consists

Mr. Gaynor's ultlmatum was convey
ed to McKane. who simply smiled and
said: We'll see." other men were
sent down to Gravesend with instruc-
tions to copy the list, and they were
arrested. Mr.. Gaynor's friends, headed
by Edward M. Grout, decided to go in
to Gravesend on the morning of elec-
tion day and act as watchers at the
polls. Fearing that McKane and his
followers would interfere, Mr.. Gaynor
secured an injunction from Justice
Barnard, forbidding McKane to inter-
fere with his watchers. McKane de-
fed the order, saying, "Injunctions
don't go herep'
His arrest, conviction and imprlson-
ment followed. He is serving a six
years term. which began March, 1894
Allowing for commutation, he has yet
a year and seven months to serve.
The increase in the number Of what
are known as Raines law hotels has
been commented on before. This in
crease is a remarkable IL not a deplor-
able fact. To the widows and others
who have gained a livelihood by rent
ing rooms" the new hotels are a me-
mace, for they become direct competi-
tors and pull down the prices. But
these hotels are not quite as popular
as they were few weeks ago, and the
club" has come to the relief of the
man who wants his Sunday drink with
out the accompaniment of food. Mem
bership in these clubs Is easily acquir-
ed, and no effort has thus far been
made to test their legality. 1t is whis-
pered that after election n test case
will be made and a judicial decision
secured which will permanently fix
their status.

the Isle OF Imbos Once established
on the peninsula 1t would be an easy
task to seize the earthworks on the

Ing forts In his hands, an enemy could
subdue those on the opposite coast suf-
ficiently to cover the passage of his
fleet Such. then, Is brief description
OF the defences OF the Dardanelles,
comprising some forts whose strength
has quite passed away, and others,
placed generally on higher and more
commanding ground, whose powers OF
resistance to an enemy's fleet advanc-
Ing up the Dardanelles can, perhaps,
scarcely be overestimated.
1t is believed here that the Difficult
ties surrounding the passage of the
Dardanelles and the further difficulties
to be encountered after they are passed
will prevent any sane admiral from
venturing into the Sea of Marmora un-
less he could either count upon the
friendship of Turkey or else could keep
command of the Dardanelles. But that
means land force.
The Bishop Keane incident still holds
the attention of the public and has
been prolific of much gossip, as has
also the uterance of Archbishop Ire
land, OF Minnesota, on the issues in
the political campaign. DR.. Rocker,
the secretary of Cardinal Satolli, and
who Is continued in the same position
by Mgr. Martinelli, recently said that
Rome is not particularly bothered
about the attitude of the clergy in this
respect. The clergy are not taking
any particularly active interest in po-
litical matters. Archbishop Ireland
has expressed his views, but only as
private citizen of Minnesota, and not in
any official capacity. They are simply
worth as mach as the opinions of any
other man, who knows as much about
the subject. no more and no less.

In the death of Chief Justice William
Adams Richardson the country looses
faithful public servant whose heart
and conscience was put into all his OFF,
cial duties. Judge Richardson was a
native of Massachusetts and a graduate
of Harvard. In 1869 he was taken
from pdbllc life in his State and made
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury.
He was sent abroad by the Government
In 1861 as special financial agent, and
negotiated the first contracts entered
into in Europe for the sale of United
States per cent. bonds. In 1873 he
became Secretary of the Treasury,
and resigned that position in 1874 to
accept seat on the bench of the Unit
ed States Court of Claims rendered him
by President Grant. In 1885 he became
Chief Justice Of that court, which posi-
tion he held until his death. Judge
Richardson was the author of numer-
Gus publications dealing chiefly with
financial subjects.

Special washington Letter.
Two short years OF welded life has
brought trouble to a once famous belle
OF Washington society. Miss Harriet
Blaine was the favorite daughter of
the great statesman, and when two
years ago she became the wife OF Trux-
ton Beale the congratulations Of Wash
ington society we're freely showered
upon the young couple. But now the
news comes from Augusta that Judge
Whitehouse has granted to the young
wife an absolute divorce No opposi-
ton was made in court by Mr.. Beale,
although 1t was expected that his side
of the case would be looked after by a
Washington attorney.
Mrs. Beale Is bright and extremely
talented, and has many friends at Bar
Harbor and Washington. 1t has been
commonly known for some time that
the Beales did not live happily togeth-
er. although they have been married
only little more than two years. For
the greater part of the time since the
wedding Mrs. Beale has lived apart
from her husband. She has been with
her mother at Bar Harbor all summer.

When Columbus crossed the Atlantic,
his vessel had to push through mass
of seaweed which has been named the
Sea OF Sargasso, which is now pretty
well known as gulf weed, or Ssrgasso
weed. The straHga part of the history
is that no one has ever found out
where this seaweed grows. The i'm
mense floating mass of weed extends
from west longitude forty-five degrees
to seventy degrees. Some recent sug-
gestions consider 1t seaweed that has
lost its power of attaching itself to
rocks, and propagates itself on the
surface Of the ocean. Its name, Fucus
natans, seems to have originated in
some such thought.

Special New York Letter
An echo of the Lexow investigation
comes from Albany, where the Court
o; Appeals has granted to Inspector
William w. Mclaughlin, OF the New
York police department, convicted oil
extortion. a new trial The charges
against the Inspector grew out OF the
famous Lexow investigation and his
conviction for extortion followed. This
conviction was affirmed by the Appel
late Division OF the Supreme Court.
The case then went up to the Court OF
Appeals The specific charge against
Mclaughlin was the extorting OF 500
from f. w. Seagrist in 1891.
The Inspector was dismissed from
the force on June 10, 1895, after the
court had sentenced him to two years
and six months in Sing Sing. He was
released on $50, 900 bail, a stay having
been obtained. The effect of the de-
csion Is to reinstate the Inspector to
his old position on the force. DR..
