Big Lumber Mill Fire.

Smalley & Woodworth's lumber mill
plant and salt block, which was one of
the busiest institutions of its kind
along the Saginaw river, were burned
at Bay City. The mill, which was in
sured for $40, 900, was totally destroyed,
and the salt block was damaged to the
extent of $500, while the brick boiler
and engine room adjoining the mill
was not damaged. The total loss is
estimated at SIS, 900. The firm has
operated day and night for the past II
years. The property destroyed was
built five years ago. Ninety men are
thrown out of employment.

murder or Suicide.

The people of st. Louis were star
tied by the finding of the dead body of
VIM. Leopard on the bank of the Pine
river, one mile northeast of town on
the farm of NJ. Porter, with n bullet
hole through his head. The body was
found by Wesley Beach, aged IL, who
was taking the COWS to pasture. The
body was found on the bank of the
river and very near TO the water, as
Within a few feet of the body was
found the gun which Leopard had bor-
rowed with the muzzle sticking about
Is inches inches in the sand and all
nearly covered with water. On exam
nation it was found that there was no
shell in the gun. This was cause for
further examination of the body, and
it was found that the ball had entered
the right temple and passed out
through the top of the head. There
were no signs of powder marks on the
face to indicate that the shot was fired
at close range. This gave rise to sus-
picion, and some very ugly rumors
concerning Leopard and his family are
being circulated
1t is said that Leopard has wife
living at Barrie, Ont, from whom he
was never divorced, and he was mar
ried again only few weeks ago.
Leopard's life was insured for 81, 900 in
favor of his father and it is alleged
that the dead man has recently accused
his step-mother of attempting to poison
him. Sensational developments are
expected.

james #. JOY. of Detroit. Dead.

James t. JOY, died suddenly at his
residence, lao Fort street west, Detroit.
The direct cause of his death was heart
disease, from which he had been
troubled for some time. Mr.. JOY had
not been confined to his bed and the
previous day he was up and apparently
feeling no worse than at any time dur
ing the past few weeks.
James f. Joy was born in Durham,
N. H., Dec. 90, 1910. After being edu-
Gated in the public schools he became
a teacher, saved his money, and en-
tered and graduated from Dartmouth
college. He then went to the Cam
bridge law school. He was afterwards
instructor of Latin in Dartmouth col
lege. He came TO Detroit in 1886 and
entered the law office of u. S. Senator
Porter. In 1887, he was admitted to
the Detroit bar. Almost from the first
he was employed in the most import
ant cases in the state and national
courts. Many railroad advantages en-
ioyed by Detroit and Michigan were
due to the influence of Mr. JOY. He
induced eastern capitalists TO extend
the Michigan Central to Chicago. In
1865 he became president of the Michi-
gan Central railway, and gridironed
the state with what is known as the
Michigan Central railroad system. He
continued in his position until the Van
derbilt's secured control of the system.
He then became president of the Wa
bash railway and his connection with
that road gave it a strong position in
the business world. He secured termi-
nails at Detroit for the Wabash and
Canadian Pacific and was the chief
power in carrying the new Fort Street
Union depot project to completion. He
was one of the organizers of the PENN
sular Car Co., and was at the head of
the company which he organized to
build the 500 canal locks. and he was
interested in various enterprises in
different sections of the state. At one
time no sought to build tunnel for
railroad traffic urder the Detroit river,
but abandoned the project as not feast
bic from an economic point of view.
He retired from the presidency OF the
Wabash railroad half dozen years
ago, but remained in close touch and
was consulted almost daily on import
ant matters. During the past 10 years
Mr.. JOY has gradually retired from
business, turning the details over to
his sons.
In politics Mr.. JOY was always n
strong Republican, but never held
Office beyond serving one term in the
Legislature about 80 years ago and n
term as regent of the state university.
In 1850 he was delegate-at-large TO the
Republican national convention and
made the speech nominating James G..
Blaine for the presidency. Mr.. JOY
had been married twice. His first wife
died "a good many years ago, leaving
three children. The second wife died
five years ago in Paris leaving three
sons.

Khedivo plotting for Egypt's Freedom.

London: Dispatches from Cairo say
that it is currently stated in native
circles that the Khedive, who recently
started on tour of Europe, where he
travelled incognito, took with him a
draft of a scheme for the independence
of Egypt, and that while in Paris he
had an interview with NJ. IIanotaux,
the French minister of foreign affairs.
The Times, in commenting, declares
that there is foundation for the state
ments and that it causes much Sisquiet.
1t adds that evidence exists o. under.
hand attempts being made to thwar'
the British reforms in Egypt. and that
these attempts will cause trouble un
less they are checked.

The Headless Bird Flew Away.

A gentleman living near Taylor,
La, netted dozen quails. When he
was killing and dressing them, the
following strange occurrence trans
pired: AS he went to wiring the neck
of one of the birds the head slipped
off in his hand, pulling about two
inches of skin and feathers along
with it.
Turning a moment later to pick
up the bird from where he had
thrown it, the gentleman found the
little fellow flying and hopping
about as though nothing untoward
had happened, his bare neck stick
ing up gaunt and headless.
Thinking the birds activity re-
suited from a posthumous contrao-
ton of the muscles. the gentleman
attempted to pick him up, when the
little fellow mounted in the air and
few away, fiuttering and quivering
now and then, but when about 200
yards from the house he disappear
ed into small pine thicket, flying
to the last. Philadelphia Times.

Largely a Question of Freight.

Il
The principal reason why the highly
civilized and commercial nations have
gradually abandoned silver and adopted
the gold standard is that value for value
silver is 80 times as heavy as gold. So
that if the cheaper metal were used to
settle balances in trading between two
countries or between distant points of
the same country it would cost 80 times
more to transfer it than if payment was
made in gold The foolish idea that
business men have conspired to discredit
the white metal in order to increase the
value of gold is merely a cheap money
delusion. Merchants and bankers are in
terested in having the best possible ma
terial for use in measuring values and
making exchanges, and the fact that in
millions Of transactions the handling Df
money the greater weight of silver meant
larger cost of transporting it was Of it
self a sufficient reason why gold should
be preferred
Left to themselves, men always choose
the easiest known method of doing any
thing. Since it is far easier to use sub
stance having great value IN small bulk
than one 80 or so times heavier, it is
only natural that, whenever it is pos
sible to secure sufficient gold, that metal
should be used instead Of silver. Wood
is now generally used instead Of steel
for bicycle rims because it is lighter
Steelites who should claim that the
wood conspirators had demonetized steel
rims would be laughed at Yet their
arguments would be just as sound as
those of the silverites
