PendletOn Manufacturing Interests to
BE Carried On by Hendrick Co.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Pendleton Manufacturing company was
called by the directors on Tuesday
evening. The action taken some time
ago to lease the plant of the Hendrick
company was ratified. and the feeling
was expressed that the arrangement
will benefit all concerned and be an ad-
vantage to the city.
The Hendrick company, it is said, will
put capital of 100000 into this new
department so that the works will be
greatly extended, Gurdon Pendleton

MexlCans are born in the Catholic
church. Some of them. like the In

ligion, and keep their old idOlatrY, hay
ing changed only their idols, that Is,
replaced their old deities with the itn
ages of the saints of the Catholic
church." The Protestants have, how
ever, worked hard in Mexico. and
have obtained a foothold. The public
schools number S,675, attended by 435,
953 pupils, at an annual cost of $5,455,-
800 Parochial schools and others num-
Der 3129, with 1921 pupils. There are
1856 technical schools, attended by &c.
500 pupils. Mr.. Romero thinks that the
education of the Indians is an urgent
problem. There are only 25S newspa-
pers in the country.
The Valley of Mexico is one of the
finest spots in the world Surrounded
by high mountains, it has a very rare
and clear atmosphere, which makes
hills forty miles away seem, when
viewed from the capital, only at the
end of the city. 1t Is "a center of mag
nficent scenery, the view from Chapul-
tepec Hill being among the most beau
tiful on earth. The City of Mexico con-
tains 100000 people, and among its
many fine buildings is-'the cathedral,
which took nearly u century to build,
although sometimes 10000 men We're
working upon it.

present product of silver above $6O, 600,
900. The Neta Madre lode of Guiana
! juato alone produced $252 OOO, 900 be-
twee 1856 and 1903. Gold is sometimes
found with silver, and formerly, wher
the amount was small, it was not
| separated, for which reason old Mexi
can dollars in China are worth more
than new ones But Mr.. Romero ex.
poets that Mexico will soon be one OF
the worlds largest gold producers
The total coinage of gold up to 1885,
is put at $125. 5.375. .6S5 and that of silver
at SO, 400, ,95S 40. This would give Mexi
co one-third of the total worlds coin
age since the discovery of America
But for various reasons much of tn,
silver produced is not coined, and Mr.
Romero would place the total produc
llOH at from lOuF DllllOn 10 TNe DlllOl

Cured. The wind had shifted from
east of north to west of north, and
under its influence massive billows
were now rolling on the western edge
of my peninsula. Now and then a crest
of a breaker, blown bodily off by the
gale, would fall resounding crash
far up on the ice. Without doubt. it
was such an event that had awakened
me, and just in time. for it was certain
that the ice about me would soon be
breaking up.
l jumped up and struck out. With
the new direction Of the wind, l knew
that / was saved. I could not return to
Parry sound, but Penetanguishene and
Midland lay IS miles down the coast,
and with the gale at my back fancied
that it would be easy to cover that dis
tance.
1t was not SO easy as had magined.
AS the sounds of crashing and rending
ice died away behind. found myself
weak and weary. My legs ached, my
back ached, my head ached. I would
have given worlds to sit down and rest
the one thing which l dared not do.
Snow retarded me slightly, too, though
it was mere thin, hurrying, scurrying,
loose layer, except where occasionally
collected as drift by some slight OBJ
stacle.
l need not. however, describe the tor
ture of that Is miles skating. Had it
not been for the good wind pushing be-
hind, must have dropped by the way.
AS it was, l was half dead and two
| thirds unconscious when I saw the elec-
trio lights of Penetanguishene shining
on the sky across Christian island.-

COSTLY ANCIENT MONARCHS,
PrOdigiOus Sums Expended by The enl
on Public Works of All Kinds.

PrOdigiOus Sums Expended by Them
on Public Works of All Kinds.
1t is safe to say that few of the per-
sons who travel in the east and gaze in
rapture at the pyramids, Coliseum or
other great piles of antiquity ever stop
to consider the cost. The amount in
money and labor expended in produc-
ing these wonderful structures is prob
ably the last thing thought of under
such conditions. But when the idea is
suggested then one begins to have i
faint idea of the millions of treasure
expended by the ancient monarchs in
public or quasipublic works. TIE con-
trast of the power and wealth of these
men with those of the present day is
very marked. The ancients could build
a new palace at will. Nowadays gov
ernments pause and consider ways and
means when they think of building
new public building of any kind.
DR.. Arbuthnot has patiently reckoned
up the amount of treasure heaped upon
the pile of Sardanapalus by Athenaeus
and he finds that it came to el6,953,-
10000 in English money at least, for if
a computation which Athenaeus him
self suggests be admitted the total
would be about twice as large. After
this the statement of Diodorus-that
the pharaohs counted upon revenue of
E 1873, 100000 annually from gold mines
in the Bishari desert and drew an equal
sum by taxation-is very moderate.

let's himself go. There was gold
statue of Zeus-the Greek assigned his
own gods to Babylon as usual-4O feet
high; of Rhea equally tall, with lion
of gold at each knee and silver serpents

ents; in front of her was golden table,
500 talents, upon which stood two cups,
200 talents each, and three bowls, 1900,
GOO and 600 talents. These ornaments
of a single temple represented about
Ell, 100000, and the building was COW
cred with gold plates.
1t has been calculated that the statue
of Nebuchadnezzar mentioned in Dan
iel would be worth e3,5OO,0OO; that the
treasure left by David amounted tn
e150,OOO,00O in gold, e2,O0O.0OO,OOO in

GET DEMANDS IN PART.

Southern Iowa Operators Offers Miners
Ten Cents More Per Ton.
CENTERv1LLE, Ia, Aug. 3.-The oper-
ators of the low coal fields of Southern
Iowa met here. Nearly all the mines
were represented. BY a unanimous
vote an agreement was reached to grant
the miners a part of their demands. The
price of mining was raised 10 cents,
making it so cents per ton. This rate
is to be in force until further notice.
Nothing was said Of the winter rate.
There is much talk among miners of
refusing the offer, but many say they
will work. A clash may follow. Del.

Wheeling and Lake Erie was handling
IS to 100 cars daily, now not more than
80 cars are handled. The Cleveland,
Lorain and Wheeling comparison is the
same as the Wheeling and Lake Erie.
In the Wheeling district the condition
is full of uncertainty. Some are work
ing now but this week will witness a
desperate effort to make the suspension
general throughout the district.
