provisional government in the United

CANTON, O., Dec. 8.-Once more the
children of Nancy Allison Mckinley
have gathered about her couch made
sacred by her tenacious struggle against
death. The reunion is complete. The
president arrived before the death
angel made his visit and took with him
the spirit of the aged mother. With
the children were other relatives, among
whom was the aged sister of Mrs. Nc.
Kinley, Mrs. Abigail Osborne, mother
of Consul w. NJ. Osborne.
In that little upper room at the Nc.
kinley homestead there was q scene
that is almost too sacred for pen to
write. The eyes of all present were
flled with tears - they witnessed the
remarkable and almost miraculous
rally of the presidents mother from
the unconscious state into which she
had fallen early in the morning.
Recognized Her Son.
AS her famous son entered the room,
accompanied by his wife and niece,
Miss Mabel Mckinley, the sister of the
president, Miss Helen said:

her tenderly, reverently, and as he did

DULUTH HAS AN IRON MINE.

Rich Ore Found on the Hills Back Of the
Zenith City.
DULUTH, Dec. 8.-An outcropping of
hard magnetic iron ore has been found
on property in section so, 49.15, about q
mile from the Duluth, Missabe and
Northern railroad and within four
miles of Duluth. Analysis shows the
ore to run very low in phosphorus, to
be free from titanic acid. and, though
not high in metallic iron, is remarkably
free from all Objectionable features
and, therefore, worthy of examination.
No other outcropping has been found,
and, from surface appearances, it would
seem to be limited to this particular To-
cality.

PORT Az PRINCE, Hayti, Dec. 8.-The
trouble between Germany and Hayti
appears to be settled. It is understood
that the question of indemnity demand.
ed by Germany for the alleged illegal
arrest and imprisonment Of Herr Lue-
ders has been settled to the satisfaction
Of Germany, and that all the demands
of that country have been agreed 70 by
the government of Haytl Ii fece Of the
display Of force made 81 0efn1ny, and'
under the threat Of bombardment Of
the defensive works Of the port unless
these demands were agreed to within
the eight hours following the time the
German ultimatum was delivered
shortly after the arrival at this port Of
the two German cruisers sent to back
up the demands of the German minis.
ter here. The first part Of the settle.
ment took place at p. M, when the
Haytian deet formally saluted the
German flag, from the flagship of the
feet Of Hayti, the Crete A. Pierrot, q
small vessel Of $40 tons, armed with q
few guns Of light calibre.
Admiral Kilick, the Haytian com.
mander had charge Of the formal salute
of the German flag.
While the flag Of the republic was
being dipped on board the Crete A.
Pierrot to the standard of Germany,
the band of the Haytian navy played
the German national anthem and the
Hay tian flagship fred 81 guns which
were answered by the German flagship,
the Charlotte, which is used as school
ship. Later Count Won Schwerin, the
German minister to Hayti, was for.
mally and solemnly received by the
Haytian officials. The latter, it is
understood, have assured tho German
authorities that summary justice win
be promptly meted out to those officials
or Hayti who caused the estrangement.
All citizens of German nationality
who had sought refuge ON board the
steamer in this port have returned to
their residences, no further trouble
apprehended, aud the few French citi.
zens who sought refuge ON board the
French steamer Vile de Marseilles,
which was requisitioned for that pur-
pose and arrived here recently from
Porto Rico, have followed the example
Of the Germans and have gone back to
their homes and business.
Naturally there is strong feeling Of
resentment against the government on
account Of the humiliation inflicted
upon the country by Germany but it is
not thought that anything more serious
than ministerial crisis will result.

WHY THE CORSET SURVIVES.

In clever article in the Paris Fig
arc Jules Lamaitre roundiy abuses
the corset; complains that present
modes receive their inspirations mere
ly from bygone fashions, or are
genuine or modified copies from the
national costumes of different coun-
tries, and adde's that woman seeks only
to call attention to excessive exag
geratiOn of the lines with which
nature has thought fit to endow her
figure. After NJ. Lemaitre's article
was published a reporter was sent to
interview the leading countries NJ.
Doucet acknowledged that there was
much truth in what M. Lemaitre had
said, but defended himself by declar-
ing that neither he nor his confreres
more than were the smart women for
whom they are made and who are
looked upon as leaders. Fashions, ;"
he went on to say, ARE succession
of variations which link themselves
by the assistance OF Il
fatal caprice, thereby gaining novelty
by producing a change today--of no
matter what--from the thing which
was worn yesterday. For instance,
lace comes into fashion simply be.
cause it has not been worn the day be-
fore. Gigot sleeves grew exceedingly
large simply that the chance of change
in their decrease became impossible,
and they will disappear because
It is through the influence of all the
smart women in the great world that
the distinguished Paris makers are
able to form new fashions. 1t would
be extremely difficult for them to
modify. except in very small degree,
existing defects, and whatever advice
we stand ready to give them, we con-
not run the risk of mourning their
reproaches. They one and all hold
Tremendously by the lines of their fig
ures, and nothing can ever change
them. If we should try to influence
them to adopt some of those lovely
draperies which sccentuate so de-
lightfully the best lines of the figure
some of their friends would rush up
and, with the sweetest smiles, say:
'Ah, my dear, that drapery makes you
look immense. Your waist is ruined!
This is the main reason why the lines
so generally exposed by all women OF
our day remain unchanged"

Lovely Gowns on
Lovely Women.


New York, May 23.-The latest de-
Yelopment Of club life in New York
is what for the want of a better name
enc may call club for churchgoer's
The club house will be opened in the
fashionable part Of Fifth avenue, and
ed both on Sundays and week days.
The venture is certainly bold one.
An idea so novel will doubtless be
followed by enterprising persons in
the neighborhood of fashionable
churches in all parts of the Metropolis
One may doubt, however, whether in
most cases, the spiritual good done by
the church service and the sermon
will not be altogether effaced by the
subsequent chatter and gossip at the
club.
Others think it will appeal to cynical
husbands (Who as a rule prefer the
Home Baptist" to accompanying
their wives to church) when they feel
sure that on coming out of the temple
they will be sure of little refresh
ment" to offset sermon, dull per-
haps from their point of view. At
any rate the results will be watched
with interest.
Another novel idea in the church
line and one sure to be taken up here
eventually, is the wagon hospital,
which is about to be attached to rail-
way coaches in Belgium. AS the name
implies, it will be used for invalids
and will contain twenty-four beds,
and various surgical and medical ap-

London Firm Experiments With Lii
quid Carbonic Acid on a Vessel.

In the presence of a number of ship
ping experts a practical demonstra-
ton was given recently of new inven-
ton for preventing vessels from sink
ing after being damaged by collision,
stranding, ETC., at the offices of the
Insubmersihle Company, 81 Lime
street, E. @ The model was placed
in tank of water, and having been
loaded with bricks and bags of sand
up to the water line, large breach in
the side of the boat was uncovered.
The water rushed in at such a rate
that in less than a minute the boat
would have been submerged, but W hen
the water had risen to the level of the
deck a number of bags were inflated
with compressed gas and the vessel
almost Immediately began to rise.
The air was then withdrawn and the
the tank. Again the bags were inflated
and again the vessel came to the sur
face. The apparatus consists of a
number Of rectangular reservoirs, or
balloons, divided into compartments
which are Independent of one another.
In the event of any one of these COM
partments being destroyed or damaged
the working of the others is not inter-
fered with. They are made of imper-
vious and watertight tissue, and in
ordinary weather are suspended in
cCncertina fashion under the various
decks or ceilings Of cabins in the ship.
In case Of accident these air bass are
at once inflated by gas, and then
caused to fill the free places of the
cabins or storerooms over which thev
are fastened. The gas employed is
liquid carbonic acid, which, under the
pressure of one atmosphere, is known
to develope about 400 times its volume
in gas. The gas is sent into the reser-
voirs instantaneously by it's high
pressure and distributed to the diff
ferent compartments by the aid Of
lever in the upper deck, also by auto
matte floats on the bottom, which
moved by the water rushing in, acts
in the same way as the lever, giving
