WOnan's Power.

The sternest hearts are melted by
the gentleness of woman; and in no
capacity can she more effectually
develop this delightful power than
in that of wife. BY her persuasive
manners, she solicits and commands
obedience; and it should be her
highest aim not to impair this
power. To enable her to do this, it
is necessary that she should know
how to govern her temper; and this
she must mainly effect by striving
early to adapt herself to the eXigen-
cies incidental to her altered posi-
ton.

se. w.ser For City Streets.

The ancient idea of flushing the sew
ers and cutters Of city streets with sea
water is being vigorously discussed In
many places In England it has como
into such favor that proposition is
now put forward to supply the city Of
London with sea water. The water
would be taken from the sea at spot
not far from Brighton remarkably free
from pollution. 1t would be pumped
into reservoir of 10000, 900 gallons.
Thence it would be forced into another
reservoir. from which it would gravi-
tate to London. The present oonsunp-
tion of water in London is 200, 900, 900
gallons day, Of which 10000, 900 gal
Ions is used for municipal purposes.
This might be saved for domestic CUR
poses by the introduction of sea water.
The cost of the project is put at So, $780,
900, and the sea water would be sup
piled by meter for public purposes at a
fraction Of the present cost of fresh Wa
ter One watering of the streets with
sea water is said to be equal to two, or
even three, with fresh water. 1t pre-
vents the decomposition of street refuse,
it is effective for flushing sewers, and
particularly valuable for the extinction
Of fire Of its value to health there is
no doubt, and it would be easy to sup
ply it to hospitals and to schools for
swimming baths.

INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.

will Be Held in Portland From Sep
tember 19 to October II.
The coming Oregon Industrial Expo
sition which opens in Portland Sep
tember 10 and closes October IL, prom
ises to be a pronounced success. The
citizens of that enterprising city have
subscribed over $4,000 to carry out
the plans, which are now being ar.
ranged on more elaborate scale than
ever before. 1t looks already as though
every available inch of space allotted to
exhibits in the great building will be
occupied. A splendid military band
has been organized and will be under
the leadership of Mr.. q. Oechsle, late
of Gilmore's celebrated band, and a
leader and composer of great ability.
The admission price has been fixed at
25 cents, and the same interest mani
tested in the Portland fair last year
will doubtless be much increased this
year on account of the overwhelming
success of the Exposition Of 1895, when
the management in every respect kept
faith with the public and provided such
attractions as had never before been
seen on the coast.

Counterfeitine Dollars.

Washington, Aug. 17.-The secret
service bureau of the treasury depart
ment has been requested to look into a
report of extensive counterfeiting of
United States silver dollars in one Of
the Central American states. The in
formation comes from Mexican paper,
and was sent to the state department
by Minister Ransom. 1t states that in
one of the Central American states a
company has been organized by Ameri.
cans who have purchased the silver
dollars of the state worth Al cents, and
coined them into American dollars. 1t
is said that 3, 500, 900 of these dollars
have been shipped into this country,
where they have passed at par. The
story is discredited at the treasury de-
partment, and it is said it would be
impossible to ship any considerable
number of coins into this country with
out the counterfeit being discovered.
If counterfeiting has been going on,
the guilty persons could be punished
under the treaties providing for such
crimes, which have been made with
nearly all countries.

THE WEATHER RECORD.

Seven to Ten Hundred Have Died of
Heat in New York.
New York, Aug. 14.-This was the
eighth day of the hot weather. The
number of deaths in Greater New York
during the past week, as result of
the torrid wave, is estimated at from
700 to 1000. In many cases the heat
has been given the credit for causing
deaths that in reality are due to other
complications. On the other hand,
m any persons have doubtless perished
from unknown causes when an autopsy
would have shown "suustroke'' as the
cause of death. Since Monday over
100 bodies have been sent to the potter's
field from the morgue. and forty more
will be hurried away tomorrow morn
ing. Estimates Of today range from
forty to one hundred for New York,
the total number of dead officially re.
ported to 10:30 tonight amounting to
sixty. seven. The total number of pros
trations reported in New York city to-
day was $50. The total deaths Off
cially reported in Brooklyn today was
twenty five. The total deaths reported
from Jersey City and surrounding
towns during the day was about fifty.

Six Men Compelled to Stand Hope
lessly By.
Denver, Aug. ia special to the
Republican from Pocatello says: Word
is received from Montpelier, Idaho,
that about 8 o'clock this afternoon,
three masked men rode into town on
horseback, stopping in front of the
Bank of Montpelier. They dismounted
and compelled six men who were
standing in front of the bank to 60 in
side. Two Of the desperadoes then
covered the men with revolvers, while
the third went behind the counter and
emptied all the cash in sight into three
sacks The robbers then mounted their
horses and rode out Of town.
Sheriff Davis organized a posse Of
men, who are in pursuit of the robbers,
thirty minutes behind. 1t is thought
they are heading for jackson Hole, and
if they are, their capture will be uncer-
tain, as the Hole is known to be filled
with desperate gang, who will resist
their capture. The bank officials re-
fuse to disclose the amount secured,
but it is believed to be fully $4,000.

Rough Experience of Miners seekinA
Gold In Alaska.
Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. IL
The steamship City of Topeka arrived
this morning from Alaska with 1S5
passengers, forty of whom were miners
returning from Cooks inlet. Nearly
all were men who had gone north to
seek fortunes in the tabled gold fields
of that country. The poor fellows all
returned as steerage passengers, and
tell hard stories of that country.
Among the passengers returning was
o. D. Fairbanks, of Adrian, Mich, a
photographer, who went to Cooks in
LETT or the purpose of taking panoramic
views of that country. He asserts that
not single find Of gold has been
struck in that country, and that at
Sunrise City there are now 1 200 men
who are without money and have only
enough provisions to last short time.
Fairbanks says that, unless the gov
ernment sends relief, many are des-
tined to die of starvation in the near
future; that many men there mort
gagged their farms in the states, the re-
suit of years of hard labor, to go north,
and are now offering to work in Cooks
inlet for so cents day and board, but
cannot get work. He says that the
Boston & Alaska Company and the
Alaska Gold Company had every claim
within 800 miles of Sunrise City staked
off before the common prospectors
reached the country, and absolutely
nothing remained. Upwards of 1000
men have already left the Cooks inlet
country, and those who are remaining
are the ones who have not the means
to get away.

P.titioned to Break the Treaty.

San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua.
Aug. 17.-Senor Guerrero, late min
lister of war, has been instructed by a
committee composed of F. W. Pelas
and four other leading men of this city
to present petition to President Eel
ava to abolish the free port of San Juan
del Norte (Greytown) and declare an
average duty on imports of 30 per cent
ad valorem. Pelas is the sole owner of
the only steamboats, on Lake Nicaragua
and the San Juan river. The treaty
made at Managua in 1860 between Mo
aragua and Great Britain provides that
San Juan del Norte shall be free port.
The British and German merchants in

tigating the properties Of the different
vegetables announces that diet Of
carrots ameliorates harshness of charac-
ter and reduces nervous irritability.
Peas create fatty tissue and encourage
joyeusness. while turnips have just the
opposite effect. Celery taken in excess
causes eye trouble, while cabbage is
beneficial in pulmonary ailments, and
lettuce aids as sedative owing to the
opium contained in its milky juice,
which keeps the skin clear and fresh.

San Diego, Cal, Aug. 14.-Garret,
the Encinada gold.bar robber, has con-
fessed to the Mexican officers. He
says no one was implicated with him,
and he opened the safe by a combina-
tion. He offered to show how it was
done, and was taken by the officials to
Riverall's Office, where in a few Sec
onds he opened two safes by the combi-
nation. He says Pratt is not guilty,
and that on the night of the robbery,
he got Pratt drunk and robbed the safe
alone. When captured Garrett carried
firearms and a canteen with water,
enough to withstand long siege.
The governor has sent out boats and
armed men to overhaul the schooner
Pekin, which took Garrett to Lower
California.

HE WILL NAVIGATE SPACE.
A San Francisco Man Has Designed q
New Afrship.

New Airship.
San Francisco, Aug. 17.-Dr. @. A.
Smith is more enthusiastic than ever
over his flying machine since he re.
ceived a telegram Wednesday from
Washington informing him that a
patent had been granted on his device
for sailing through the air. A COM
pany was incorporated in this city last
Saturday to build Smiths airship,
navigating air vessels and carrying on
general business in them. l. j. Tru-
man, president of the Columbian bank,
and George T. Garden are among the
stockholders. The attorney for the
company is M. M. Estee.
These well-known men declare that
Smiths machine appears feasible as a
mechanical proposition, and that it is
really a most ingenious solution of the
difficult prob ems that have faced the
scientific aeronaut. Smith himself
claims it will lift itself and additional
weight, and more than that, he can so
cotrol its flight as to practically 1m1-
tate bird on the wing. This means
that the airship can be lifted from the
earth and depressed at the will OF the
engineer, who may also steer his vessel
hither and thither, describe circles re-
gardless of the wind, and perform evo-
lutions like ship at sea.
It is still further claimed for this
wonderful invention that it can be
driven into the very teeth of the storm.
Indeed, if all that is claimed for it
proves true, the long. .talked-of airship
will soon be an accomplished fact.
The company intends to open work
shop at once and begin the construc.
tion of DR.. Smiths first airship. And
in the course of few months, the ex-
pectation of seeing the machine arise
and float aloft will be very strong.

weeks, being delirious part of this

still uncertain when the supreme court
will consider his appeal, which is now
formally before that body. Durrant's
