A MARVEL OF BEAUTY.
Cincinnati and Pittsbnrg Packet Queen
City on Her Initial Trip.

Cincinnati and Pittsburg Packet Queen
City on Her Initial Trip.
An eager throng of Mariettians was
at the wharf Monday afternoon to see
the much-talked-of new steamer Queen
CITY. The boat came in on ADVERTISED
time and was instantly boarded by the
large crowd curious to inspect her.
The new steamer is model of ele-
gance from stem to stern and one OF
the finest ever afoat on the Ohio river.
She is 2S5 feet long, A feet beam,
depth of hold 615 feet, and has a carry
ing capacity of 1,400 tons. She has
two non-condensing high pressure en-
gines, with 24.inch cylinders, eight
foot stroke of piston, and an indicated
.horse power of 1000.
The Queen City is equipped with the
latest improved automatic steam steer.
ing apparatus, steam capstans, pumps
and freight holsters automatic steam
water works, carrying water to all
parts of the boat constantly, and a
complete electric light plant, which
supplies light in every part of the boat,
from the pilot house to the hold. In
fact the new packet is supplied with
the largest motive power ever placed
on a passenger steamer on western
rivers. Her owners therefore feel con-
tident that she will show greatly in
praosaI snaal bn hno,S ~
use.
The grand salon of the Queen City is
an entirely new departure All pre-
vious examples of steamers ever built
in the west have been compile tely ig-
nored, and peep into the cabin of this
new boat reveals a beautiful sight
All the bulkheads and doors are fin
ished in a rich mahogony. Each state
room door contains a beveled edge
French plate glass mirror, and the en-
tire stern end of the cabin is occupied
with large mirror of similar quality.
The ceiling of the cabin is of pressed
steel, of delicate design, set off in
eight panels, in the center and corner
of which electric lights and chande-
liers are grouped, giving the boat a
beautiful appearance when lighted.
The ceiling is painted in light colors,
which are skillfully blended and con-
trast with the mahogony of the sides.
The cabin is 20O feet long and Is feet
wide, making it the largest of any up
per Ohio steamer.

THE work of tearing down the Hall
house on Front street began Monday
morning, and as the demolition of the
old house proceeded a number of inter
esting features were brought into
view.
The old kitchen is built of logs, and
was originally a part of the stockade
which stood at the Point" In the
logs are numerous portfolios cut on
angles, and permitting a wide sweep Of
the weapon. Some of the holes are six
inches square and some OF them are
only of sufficient size to admit the bar.

clearly the powder burns.
The old house is put together with
wrought nails, tediously turned out by
hand, long before the automatic nail
machines were conceived or dreamed

was erected when all this country was
little better than wilderness, and has
been one of the few links connecting

GAVE HIMSELF UP 70 DEATH.
Feelings of n Man who FeIr Into an
Abandoned Shnft.

p. ID. Smith. an old book man, tells
most interesting story of how it feels
to be buried alive, says the Los Angeles
Record. For one hour he lay at the
bottom of deserted mine shaft and
was only saved by dog that whined
and howled at a neighbours house. Just
after recent storm Mr.. Smith went
prospecting in Deer canyon. branch
of the Big Tejunga. in the San Fernan-
do range. He was removing some tim
Der about the top of an old shaft. when
the rotten wood gave way and carried
him to the bottom of the shaft. A heavy
load of timber and earth followed.
Strange to say. he was uninjured and
lay free from immediate danger in the
dark damp space left by the boards.
Gloomy were the thoughts that filled
his mind as he lay there and thoughts
of his past life and the friends he
would never see again, for the shaft
was one which had been covered over
head and lost to the knowledge of the
neighborhood for years. Moreover. it
was a mile and half from the nearest
house. Once or twice he shouted. but
his voice sounded sepulchral as it
echoed in muflled way between the
overhanging walls and reverberated in
his cars. For one hour he lay there in
this cramped position, while gloomy
thoughts passed in frightful procession
through his mind.
Fortunately, his little dog was with
him. "Boss" is particularly intelli-
gent dog, and after the accident to his
master went to the nearest house and
acted so strangely that Mr. Walton, the
owner followed him to the shaft.
There he found and rescued him.

THE SITUATION DOWN IN THE
EIGHTH.

Wilson of Lawrence and Carpen ter
of Meigs joined hands and adjourned
the Senatorial convention to meet at
Pomeroy the first day in Septembe ber
The Gallia people would have preferred
to settle the contest here in beautiful
Gallipolis, but our visitors wouldn't
have it that way. Whether our water
or our atmosphere did not agree with
them has not been made plain, but for
some reason they considered good they
have shaken our dust from their feet.
Just what the significance of this move
is, we do not pretend to say bu, it
certainly was not inspired by any desire
to nominate the Gallia candidate.
That could have been done with proper
ceremony right here. Our opinion is
that the Meigs and Lawrence delega-
tions have concluded to nominate eth
er Wilson or Carpenter, and have taken
ten weeks for contemplation fasting
and prayer 20 decide which Of the two
it shall be. -Gallipolis Tribune

Electric Light in the Arctic.

Electricity played an important part
in the Arctic voyage of the Fran, Dr.
Nansen's stanch vessel. The electric
lights were daily used on board, accord
ing TO the Elektroteknisk Tedsskrift of
Christiania, until May, 1895, when the
wearing out of the gearing and the fact
that portions of the apparatus were
needed for making snowshoes made it
necessary TO dispense with the use Of
the dynamo, which was worked by a
windmill Though at times the ac-
cumulators froze solidly, yet the acid
blended ice proved fine electrolyte.
Electricity, too. fired the mine shots
which freed the Fran from the ice
foes.

FRUIT AS A MEDICINE.
Acids in Fruit Assist the Action of
the stomach,

the Stomach.
Why for ages have people eaten apple
sauce with their roast goose and suck
ling pig? is the conundrum asked by
Popular Science Monthly, which then
proceeds to elucidate as follows:
Simply because the acids and pep
tones in the fruit assist in digesting
the fat so abundant in This kind of food.
For the same reason at the end of
heavy dinner we eat our cooked fruits
and when we want their digestive ac-
ton even more developed we take them
after dinner in their natural uncooked
state as dessert. In the past ages in
stinct has taught men to do this; to-day
science tells them why they did 1t, and
this same science tells US that fruit
shouldI be eaten as an aid to digestion
of other foods much more than it is
now. Cultivated fruits. such as apples,
pears. cherries, strawberries, grapes,
etc. contain on an analysis very similar
proportions of the same ingredients.
which are about one per cent. of malic
and other acids. and one per cent. of
hesh-forming albuminoids, with over
so per cent. of water.
Digestion depends upon the action of
pepsin in the stomach. Fats are di-
gested by these acids and the bile from
the liver. Now. the acids and peptones
in fruit peculiarly assist the acids of the
stomach. Only lately even royalty has
been taking lemon juice in tea instead
of sugar, and lemon juice has been pre-
scribed largely by physicians to help
weak digestion, simply because these
acids exist very abundantly in the

The Rev. Mr.. Helwig. of Urbana,
preached sermon Secently, in which
he defended the action Of the mob
which lynched the negro rapst, lie
found for his justification the text
BE angry and sin not"
This implies that there may be a
form of anger without sim" said Mr..
Helwig. And as there is in our ma
ture principle of resentment against
injury, so is there in US a righteous
temper against every form of sin and
mo al evil. The Bible is full OF pass
ages relating TO Gods wrath against
sin. Take Gods Indignation against
sin as expressed in some Of the Psalms
great reforms. 1t is hot indignation
that gives force to the heart, mind and
soul and strikes down evils.
Another moral weakness of the age
is the disgusting sentiment in favor of
the criminal. Ten thousand families
in this country last year were robbed
of mem Der Ly the violent hands OF a
murder and only 1872 murderers were
executed.
1.-The law is for the protection OF the
innocent. The pardoning power is the
veto of the law. 1t destroys the GER
tainty of punishment What seems
necessary in the present state of
the human mind on the subject of
crime is a sufficient penalty While
we deplore all the sad results that
have followed the commission of the
5oul crime in this city, let us rather
condemn a law the weakness and de-
feet of which is so largely responsible
That which now seems necessary to Sc
cure safety is the fixing of the deatf
penalty to their commissions where thu
guilt of the defendant has been con
fessed.
"Down in the hearts of people there
are times when the justice which il
found in the divine law against crime
asserts itself with a power beyond con
troll. There are times when sense o.
justice says the criminal ought to die
The patience of the people is wearing
out with regard to the trea tment OF
criminals, and the same spirit will pre-
vail until some of these abuses are cor
rected,'

INDIAN POLYGAMISTS.
Efforts to De Made to Stopthe Practice
I'm the Indian Territory.

y
The officials of Perry, O. T.. together
with those of the Indian territory, will,
it is reported, make an earnest ef-
fort to stop polygamy among the In
dians. Polygamy is practiccd among
nearly all of the tribes. and especially
among the Cheyenncs and Arapahocs.
Maj. \. L. Woodson, agent for these
tribes, says there are Indians among
them who have from two to half a dozen
wives. Maj. Woodson says the Indians
refuse to give up their extra wives, and
say they will not obey the territorial
laws in this respect.
The major says there are only about
+j cases of polygamy among his In
dams. They are opposed to a change
They come to him saying that they
have heard nothing from Washington
aIoout it, and are inclined to question
the territorial law. They imagine
everything must come from Washing
ton.
Most Indians who were living in vii
lagos six years ago are now on their al
lotments. The only unruly ones are
300 Chcyennes at Red Moon and Can
tonement. They are practically as uncv-
ilized as they were years ago, and re-
fuse to take their allotments of land.
They are hopeful that they will again
be placed under civilian instead of nit
itary agents. Their refusal to adopt
civilized ways is due mostly to the
chiefs, who know that their power will
be gone the moment the Indians are
separated on their allotments.

How q Fire MAY Start.

The ease with which fire may be start.
Cd and the apparently incxplicable causes
which may produce one are both empha-
sized by happening In an up town house
last week. The mistress of the house was
seated In the extension parlor in tho after
noon alone and perfectly quiet, when with.
out warning a hanging bookshelf broke
from Its fastcnings and slipped to the floor.
On it's way II struck n small table standing
beneath Il and knocked over box Of
matches, igniting two or three of them.
These flew of, ono touching the light
gauzc scarf which had hung from the
table, which fell blazing against the lace
curtain near by. The frightened screams
of the mistress brought servant, and II
took energetic measures on the part OF the
two women to cxtinguish tho rapidly
spreading fire. Had tho room been un.
tcnantcd, as IL had been all the morning
and would have been again ID minutes
latcr, IL would have been case OF fire de-
partmcnt succor to have savcd the house.
