A BARRIERS HOPE.
Providence, r. L. Man Has a Claim
Against English Estate.

Providence, r. 1. Man Has a Claim
Against English Estate.
A New York Journal special from
Providence, R. l., says: If the expecta-
tons of William H. Mccormick are
realized he will soon succeed to the
title of Earl of Lindsey and will OBJ
tain possession of the large estate that
has been in chancery for several dec
AIDES. Mccormick is the veteran bar
Der of Providence and for more than
half a century has cut the hair and
shaved the faces of the most promi-
nent citizens of Providence
Mccormick last week discovered that
a representative of an English law
firm was in the country looking for the
heirs of the Lindsey estate. 1t is
claimed that the Providence branch
of the Mccormick family is in direct
line of descent of the Lindseys and the
Dills, the line leading back through
McCormick's great grandfather to the
last Earl of Lindsey. Mccormick has
placed the case in the hands of a law
firm, which will communicate with the
proper English authorities at once
At present, however, there is an
other claimant to the estate, John F. s.
Mccormick Of Boston, but the Provi-
dence Mccormick believes that the
Bostor an : line of descent is through
one his grandfather's younger
bro and that he therefore has no
claim to the property in accordance
with the English laws.
According to Debrett's peerage there
Is an Earl of Lindsey and an Earl Of
Lindsay. The family name Of the lat
ter is Bethune and of the former Ber-
tie.

would some day behold this wond.ous

residents of Queen City turned out en-
masse and, with beaming faces that
told of cares for the once forgotten,
they repaired to the rendezvous on the
outskirts of the city. Arrived there,
they found a square Enclosure of great
area which had been boarded TO a
height of some twenty feet, added to
which, after one had been successful in
the mad rush foT admission, one beheld
three-stOry brick house in the center

Against the Negro.

The Buffalo Express quotes a young
negro as follows: I'VE suffer, not at
the hands Of the moneyed power, that
you have heard so much about recent
". but at the hands of the laboring
people. It is impossible for a negro
to obtain other positions than those of
the barber, porter, plasterer or domes-
tic servant, because none Of the other
branches of labor are open to him.
The railroads. the greatest industrial
organization on the continent, employ
in the northern states over 500, 900 men.
and yet there is but one position, that
of car porter, open to the negro, owing
to the influence of the many labor or
CARNATIONS that will not let negroes in
to their societies or work with them in
any other position"

The wild boar never knows when 1t
is whipped. In India recently Col. G..
H. Trevor saw a boar fight tiger,
and he tells about it in the Badminton
Magazine. The fight was pulled off in
a pit ten yards in diameter, with
sanded floor and sixteen-foot walls.
Several trap-doors served as entrances
through which to introduce the ami
mails. A trail of grain through one of
these doors served TO decoy a twoyear-
old boar into the arena. A tiger, near
ly full grown, that for a year had lived
an inoffensive existence in cage, was
forced down plane from another door,
and the two beasts were together. The
tiger wanted to get away, his .ead
hung down like a whipped dogs, and
his tail dropped. The fight was ap-
parently going to be izzle, when the
natives began to throw things at the
tiger. Then the beast began to growl.
Suddenly the boar dived at him. The
tiger leaped into the air, and the boar
rushed underneath and went half a
dozen feet beyond. 1t puzzled the boar
Immediately to have the tiger get away
from him in that way, but he turned
and made for the tiger again. Three
times the tiger leaped above the boar,
but the fourth time the boar threw
up his head, and the tiger got rip
with the tusks that drew blood. Then
the cat turned on the pig, grabbed him
by the nape Of the neck, and shook him
as a schoolmaster shakes a small boy.
This done, the tiger dropped the boar
and walked away. The tiger had mere
ly intended to punish the little beast
The boar got his breath and recovered
somewhat from his dizziness, and, fac
ing the tiger again, made for him just
as if the tiger wasn't several times
bigger. The tiger eluded the charge
easily. Then trap-door opened. and
the tiger bolted through it at full speed,
leaving the boar wild for a fight.

HINDRANcE TO OUR TRADE.
we Need Better Facilities for Carrying
Our Goods to Foreign Markets.

We need better facilities for carrying
jar goods to foreign markets, says the
North American Review. The United
States is practically of no account in
the ocean-carrying trade and in many
of the large ports of the world the
American flag is almost unseen and I'M
known as an emblem Of commerce.
In fifty years our foreign commerce
has increased from 1921, 439, 71S to ST.
662, 316,962, but the total tonnage of
our merchant marine engaged in for
eign trade has decreased from 1,O47-
asa tons to S22, 247 in the same time.
With nearly eight times the foreign
commerce we had half century ago,
we now have only fOur-ffths OF the
ocean-carrying tonnage we then had.
More than two-thirds of our imports
and exports formerly were carried in
American vessels, while now but little
more than tenth of this trade is borne
in our ships. Not only do the profits
earned in transporting millions OF dol
lars worth of merchandise to and from
our ports pass chiefly into the hands
sells themselves are built in foreign
yards, giving employment to thousands
of men in an industry which ought to
be planted in our country. AS in our
ocean commerce, so also in our dnan-
cial relations with other countries we
are dependent largely upon the SER
vices rendered by foreign interests.
Particularly in our dealings with the
nations to the south Of us we are in
urgent need of direct international
banking facilities We do S15O,OOO,OOO
worth of business with South America
In year and yet all our balances have
to be settled through English or
European banking houses. In the
great trade centers of South America
The English, the Germans, the French
and the Italians have their banks, but
think that 1 am right in saying that
here is not an American bank in all
South America. Manifestly this is
serious hindrance to our trade.

DU MAURIER DECEIVED.
How an American interviewer Abused
His Confidence.

How an American interviewer Abused
His Confidence.
Du Maurier was always specially ap-
preciative Of American appreciation
and took particular pains to welcome
Americans cordially, says the New
York Times. 1t was seldom that this
friendly feeling was abused, but the
last time l saw him he was for once
in state Of rage against an American
who had not only interviewed him but
outrageously misrepresented him and
his household The visitor had come
with some letters of introduction, but,
fearing that an interview was in pros
pect, Mrs. Du Maurier had seen him
and explained that Mr.. Du Maurier
could not receive visitors for that pur-
pose. The caller promptly disclaimed
being an interviewer and so disarmed
the hostess that in apology he was
taken upstairs with cordial welcome.
The laird of "Trilby," still in the land
of the living and close friend of
Du Maurier's, had happened in, and the
two, perhaps gently led by the skillful
interviewer into the subject, were soon
talking over old times in free conf
dence. What was Du Maurier's
chagrin few weeks afterward to re-
ceive New York paper containing a
highly colored version of this CONVEX
sation, with remarks about his habits
and his household which were more
than breach of hospitality. He wrote
at once letter of disclaimer for pub
LEGATION among his American friends,
and it was with difficulty that he was
persuaded that this would only adver-
tise the offensive article and give it |
wider currency.

There is probably no other influence
that causes so much evil as the bale
full influence Of the public eye. Take.
for instance, girl who can recite. As
soon as she has been encored on the
stage she becomes nuisance to her
family and bore to the public. The
public eye has affected her and she
will never again be content with her
corner. The ofice-holder who refuses
to retire to private life after he has
once held office is another victim. The
singer who keeps on singing at anna
teur entertainments when she is a
grandmother is another. The cheap
actresses who began their downward
career at school exhibitions are also
victims. The public eye has more vic
tins than whisky and they are a great
er menace to the community for the
reason that they sign no pledge and
make no efforts to reform.-Atchison

A COBBLER PRINCE.

Britains Heir Apparent Learned tina
shoemaker's Trade when a Youth.
Custom forces the crowned heads OF
Europe to remain mere amateurs in
the arts, professions or trades they fam
cied in youth, or which they we're
obliged to practise, owing to the prac-
teal ideas of wise parents, who may
have foreseen that thrones have way
of disappearing in these enlightened
days. Queen Marguerite of Italy is q
fine musician, and could earn her living
as a music teacher; the Gear of Russia
is an expert cabinetmaker, and has
made two or tk-ee excellent violins,
while the Kaiser Of Germany is said to
be jack of all trades and a postmaster
of all arts. He can make anything
from drama and painting to line
of-battle ship. But it remains for the
world to hear Of a royal shoemaker In
the person of the Prince of Wales. A
Russian nobleman turned cobbler In
the person of Count Leon Tolstoi, and,
according to the London Woman at
Home, it has now been discovered that
Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, heir
apparent to the throne of Great Brit
ain, can turn out pair of patent le-
ers or hunting boots with the bet :

pears, wished that each of their cLI-
dren should learn some useful trade or
occupation, and the Prince CT Wales
chose shoemaking for his trade, and
such a degree Of proficiency
that boots made by his hands were the
pride of his fellow workmen, as they
were the envy of his friends at court
The Prince has never sought to
eoneal his talent, and even today
examines with the eye Of a connoisseur
he shoes sent him by the furnishers.
And that is why Albert Edward is the
man in England.

erly placed in the magazines and not
interfered with afterward they are not
a source of danger under ordinary cir
cumstances. When they are shipped on
railroads they are generally placed in
separate cars apart from other kinds OF
freight. The rate of freight on explo-
sives is about the same as that on dry
goods or any other commonplace COM
mercial commodity. The rate of in
surance IS also about the same as on
other goods. There are some English
and American insurance companies
that will not take risks on explosives,
but there are plenty of companies
which issue policies, so that there is no
trouble experienced in having ship
ments fully covered. Dynamite with
proper care can be handled as safely
as any ordinary commodity" A prom
inent producer of fireworks said: Fire

railroads and steamships, but only at

will carry explosives, but only in sep
arate compartments on their upper
decks Fireworks and other explosives
are also shipped on canal boats with
out difficulty. No large stocks of ex-
plosives are kept on hand in this city.
There are four magazines for storing
them near Fort Lee, and as they are
transported n small quantities, the
danger is reduced to a minimum"

SIR JOSEPH LISTER.
Humanity's Great Debt to Him-A Rev
oIution in Surgery.

Humanity's Great Debt to Him-A Rev
oIution in Surgery.
Sir Joseph Lister acknowledges his
supreme indebtedness to Pasteur for
the discovery that putrefaction was a
fermentation due to microbes, which
could not arise de novo from the de-
composable substance, says Scribner's.
With this as a basis the great surgeon
persisted, in the face of much oppOsi-
ton, in perfecting a simple antiseptic
dressing is, one which would de-
stroy any microbes that could fall on
the wound and purify the surgeons
hands and instruments. His success
accomplished veritable revolution in
surgery. To select a single instance:
The general hospital at Munich had
come to such a state of unhealth that
fully so per cent of all wounds were
infected by the poisonous gangrene. A
surgeon was sent to England to learn
the new "Listerism," and after his re-
turn not a single case of hospital gan
creme appeared in the Munich Kran-
kenhaus. Many allied dangers were
totally destroyed by this gospel OF
cleanliness, and in addition the suffer-
ing of patients during necessary opera
lions was vastly relieved, owing to the
absence of Inflammation. The most
conservative savants estimate that the
Lister antiseptic has increased the field
of remedial surgery twentyfold and
that the mortality of hazardous opera
lions has been reduced from probably
so per cent to something like per cent
With antiseptic treatment the skull,
even the viscera, can be safely entered
for operation, and it is literally true
that modern surgery can without dan
ger remove any part of the human
organism which is not itself essential
to life.

NEW BED FOR A RIVER.
Danger of Repetition of the Mansfield
Mine Horror.


There is immediate danger of a
repetition of the heartrending Mans
field mine disaster in which twenty
seven men lost their lives at the Hem
lock mine, says the Detroit Free Press.
The mine extends under the Hemlock
river, with a shaft on either side.
Water from the river is working
through the sandstone into the mine,
and the danger will have to be rene
died at once or the valuable property
abandoned. 1t is now proposed not
to attempt to divert the channel of the
river, as was done at Mansfield mine re-
Gently, but to lift the Hemlock river
from it's native bed and let it run
through an immense wooden sluiceway.
This sluice will extend over the ground
under which the mine tunnel runs, and
will thus relieve the river bed of it's
water and the mine of any danger from
the river. a dam will be built some
distance up the river, and this will en-
able the work to go on this winter and
also chain the water so that it can be
run into it's artificial channel next
spring. The sluiceway will be 1900
feet long, and will rest on two immense
arches whose foundations will be in
the bed of the river The arches will
be wide apart at the base and will not
threaten the mine tunnel in the least:
After the sluice is built the dam will
be opened and the water will be run
into the new elevated bed. Work in
the mine tunnel under the river will
continue, and it is expected that the
miners will gradually pick their way
toward the old river bed and in time
the bed will cave in and rich find of
ore is then expected.
