NEW MATERIAL TO-. MATCHES.
Wood Will Very Soon Give Way to
Paper Sticks.


1t is predicted that paper is the COM
ing material for matches. The pros
pect of the wooden match industry be-
ing appreciably affected by a new pro-
cess for manufacturing matches of pa
per is held to be extremely probable,
particularly as the best wood for this
purpose is constantly growing scarcer
and more costly. The new matches are
considerably cheaper than the wooden
product and weigh much less, which
counts for much in expectation. The
sticks of the matches consist of paper
rolled together on the bias. The paper

There is some talk of utilizing the
new invention in the manufacture of
matches on an extensive scale for ex-
port in India. The invention involves
no waste whatever, and the paper is
delivered in rolls like the telegraph
tape, and converted at one operation
into match-sticks, and by second into
matches that would dry without stow

made sure of-that wax is used which

YER The leading bankers are not dis
mayed, and continue to predict reac-
ton, although not until lower prices have
been reached. There is undoubtedly
much apprehensive feeling, especially as
to the rapidity with which exchange has
arisen without precedent. One OF the
bankers declares the United States will
have to take the initiative in bringing
about solution of the silver question,
but there is an opinion gaining that al
though silver will regain some of its lost
value, its role as a money metal Will soon

adopt the gold standard.

There is no panic in business circles, but
rather feeling of amazement and Won

LYNCH LAW IN MICHIGAN

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, Aug. 6, 1897.
The appeals of leading citizens pre-
vented the lynching at Crystal Falls last
night of Peter Bous, the tramp murderer
of Pearl Morrison
The miners employed in the surround
ing locations are now making threats.
and well defined report is current to the
effect that they have formed an organiza-
tion and will invade the village tonight
for the purpose of lynching Bous.
In the meantime it is expected that
Sheriff Waite will take the precaution to
move the prisoner to another county.
Bous confession was made second time
in the hearing of Attorney Henderson of
Norway, and NJ B. McGee, leading citi-
zen. The fellow is undoubtedly insane or
is acting the part to perfection.
This is not the first crime of the nature
he has committed. He has been indenti-
fed by young girl at Norway as the
man who committed an assault upon her
several months ago.

THE KL0NDIKE OUTPUT.
Quality of Alaskan Gold Estimated
hx the Chief Clerk of the MiNt.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6, 1Ss7-Speak-
ing of the Klondike output of gold, the
Chief Clerk of the Mint. said
.All the gold brought to the city from
the Alaskan mines will not exceed
$500, 0O0 and all that has been taken this
year and sent to other mintS of the
country viii not exceed S2,000,000.
'sThe gold from that part of the coun-
try is generally from 100 to 800 fine, and
scme of it runs to 800, the average being
worth from SIS to SIT an ounce"
]. c. Butler of the Pullman Car Com
pany, is in receipt of a letter from X. f.
Taylor, a financial broker of Seattle. A
few days ago Taylor received a letter
from some men whom he had sent to the
Klondike section last spring, in which
they inform him that every claim within
$50 miles of Dawson City has been taken
UP and that men are rushing all over the
country looking for locations. He says
starvation and hardship stare many of
them in the face.
Captain Niebaum of the Alaska Com
mercial Company who has made a care
full study of the situation says there will
be great deal of suffering in the mining
regions this spring. He thinks the peo-
pie going are far in excess of the sup
plies that have been forwarded.
A letter from Hart Humber, Il prospec-
tor, dated Dawson City, June lS. just
received, shows that he gold seekers need
plenty of capital. After reaching Daw-
son and paying the heavy duty on his
outfit besides 80 cents a pound for getting
it over Chilkoot Pass, he will have to
pay 20 cents a pound to get it from DaW-
son to the diggfngS

he denounced the newspapers and de-

The Rev. Mr.. Aylraworth Finds
Thieves Have Been In His House.

The Rev. Mr.. Aylrsworfh Ffnda
Thieves Have Been In His House.
On returning home this morning after
three weeks vacation, the Rev. Rob-
ert Aylesworth, pastor of the Simpson M.
E. Church, found that during his absence
the parsonage on Central avenue and
Fleet street had been entered and robbed
Everything in the basement was topsy
turvey. The cupboards and pantry had
been looted, and number of spoons as
well as many cooking utensils were
missing Mrs. Aylesworth and the ser
want have been busy all day taking an
inventory of everything in the rooms the
robbers entered. They have not yet been
able to determine the full extent of their
loss. AS soon as Mr.. Aylesworth discover
ed that burglary had been committed
he reported it to Sergeant Solomon at the
Oakland Avenue Station. He was very
indignant, not so much over the loss of
his property, as over the fact that the
police neglected to properly protect it
during his absence.
On leaving town Mr.. Aylesworth re-
ported to Captain Newton that his house
would be vacant for three weeks. 1t is a
police regulation that all houses reported
vacant shall be examined and have all
their windows and doors tried every hour
of the day and night. If this had been
done with Mr.. Aylesworth's house thieves
could not have entered without being de-
tected 1t is probable that Captain New
ton will investigate the matter with a
view of fixing the blame.
Detective keenan, was sent to investi-
gate the robbery. He found Tat the
thieves had entered the house by break
ing pane of glass in cellar window.
and pushing back the catch They thor
oughly ransacked the dining room and
kitchen, also the laundry the door of
which they left open on leaving. Luckily
all the silverware had been concealed in
one of the upper rooms. which was not
entered Some pewter spoons that had
been left in the basement had disappear
ed The police, after investigating the
robbery, said it was the work of boys liy-
ing in the neighborhood. Detective Keen
an believes that professional thieves
would not have been satisfied with merely
searching the basement, but would have
looted the upper part of the house as
well.

GERMANY PROTESTS VIGOROUSLY
The Sugar Schedule of the Dsn@Iey
Act DIxpleases the Teutons.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. 1S97.-The Ger
man Government has again entered
formal protest against the application to
German sugar of section sof the new
tariff act by which such sugar would be
taxed with higher duty than that from
other countries 1t is not denied. how
ever, that the German sugar clearly
comes within the provisions of section 5
by reason of the payment of an export
bounty, but the contention is made that
the additional duty imposed is in effect a
discrimination against German sugar,
which is incompatible both with the most
favored nation rights that are secured to
German productions by the treaties now
in force and also with the provisions of
the Saratoga agreement of August Y,
1891 AS to the first contention the Ger
man Charge d'Affaires, Mr.. Won Reich
enau, In his note to the Secretary of State
appears to revive the position taken in
June, 1896, with respect to the duties lew
liable upon bountied sugars.
The matter was then considered in con-
nection with the discriminating tariff pro-
vision of August 27, 1884, in relation to
salt duties by the Attorney General, Mr.!
was legally dutiable. Mr.. Won Reiche-
nallss note refers generally to treaties,
but it seems that his particular refer
ence is to the treaty of May l, 1923. be-
tween the United States and Prussia. 1t
is observed by the State Department that
it is still without any information from
the German government on the point
raised by Mr.. Olney as to whether the
treaty with Prussia is to be taken as
effective with respect to other portions
Of the empire, or is applicable only TO
the productions of Prussia exported from
Prussia.
AS to the contention that the tariff pro-
vision is incompatible withs the terms
Of the Saratoga treaty of August. 1891. the
State Department takes the position that

repealed Section 3. of the act of October

provisions of the act which extends the

A Rainy assD story.

In this period OF extraordinary rainfall
the following story. which shows that the
distribution is not equal all over the
globe. will appear timely. In the village
Apraxino in the Orei district of Rus
sia, the peasants addressed the Volost
(the oldest land owner. who is made chief
by reason of his age) asking what should
be done to break the long spell of
drought, no rain having fallen since the
beginning of April. The Nolost called a
trict and advised them in the meeting
to resort to an old custom, dating back
to the days of Gar Ivan the Terrible.
next day all the women Of the village
were compelled to take a bath in the
stream running by while the men had
tations the heart OF the Deity. Curiously
enough, rain set in on the following day,
and the old custom will hereafter have a
large number of new believers.
