A REvoLTINo SPECTACLE.

An Insane Man Literally Carves Himself
and Fights Like Demon.
MIssoULA, Mont, July 21.-M. Carey,
an eastbound Northern Pacific passen-
ger from San Francisco to Butte,
Mont, went insane while the train
was crossing the Flathead Indian res
ervation. Before several passengers
he cut his throat from ear to ear.
This seemed to make him a raving
maniac With his knife he slashed
his head right and left. Then he
plunged the knife into his breast and
jumped off the train, which was run
ming at full speed. The train was
stopped and Carey was picked up
bleeding from wounds from his own
hands and from additional cuts and
bruises from the fall from the train.
He fought like a demon, but was
finally lodged in the baggage car,
where a physician aboard bandaged
his wounds, only to have the bandages
torn off. Arriving at Missoula, he was
taken to st. PatriclS's hospital. Owing
to the terrible cuts about his neck it
was unsafe to administer chloroform,
and the county physician was COM
PEELED to sew up the cuts while Carey
was held down by a number of men,
making a revolving spectacle. Carey
is still alive and is bound in irons

Half Century Since the Pioneers Entered
the Great Valley.
SALT LAKE CITY, July Yesterday
marked the half century since the
pioneers, under the leadership of the
Mormon apostles, first entered the Salt
Lake valley and founded this common
wealth. The day was celebrated in a
manner which leaves no doubt of
the reverence in which those
pioneers are held by the people of the
state. The phalanx of veterans that
marched from Pioneer square to East
Temple street and later to the taber-
nacle, there to receive their gold
badges, was an impressive sight.
These men redeemed the desert and
founded a state, and they were the re-
cipients of every honor that could be
bestowed upon them.

JEAN INGELoW DEAD.

A Popular English Poet OF a By-Gone Day
Passes Away in London.
LONDON, July 21.-Miss Jean Ingelow,
the well-known poet and novelist, died
here last night in her 67th year.
Jean Ingelow was born in the quaint old town
of Boston, Lincolnshire Eng. When she first
came before the public. in 1880, by publishing a
volume of Poems by Jean Ingelow, she
speedily found an echo in the heart of the Eng
lish people and was recognized by the critics
as a genuine poet. A generation or more ago
It vas believed that Miss Ingelow had been
sent to succeed Mrs Browning. One critic has
said that her poetry then ranked above Tenny-
sons and next to Longfellow's both in En-
gland and America. The announcement OF her
serious illness at that time would have had
conspicuous mention and caused widespread
regret, but when IL came last fall It attracted
little attention that many persons will learn
only by her death that she had been ILL.,

to His Washington Church.
WASHINGTON, July Glowing to dis
sensions among the members of the
aristocratic First Presbyterian church,
Rev. DIR. Dewitt Talmage will not re-
turn to Washington to take charge of
his flock. The fact is, the church does
not want him. The majority of the
members claim that DIR. Talmage
has far from realized their expecta-
tions, and that he has not built
up the church as he should have
done. In fact, the church has
less members and is worse off
financially than ever before. DR.. Tai
mage has not received farthing from
the church for his services so far this
year. This, however, is according to
the terms whereby the doctor managed
to get a church in the nations capital.
Considerable feeling, both for and
against DIR. Talmage, has been stirred
up. The church is now in charge of
DR. Sunderland.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 20.-What may
develop into the most stupendous
exodus of people from the United
States in the entire history of this
country, and rivaling the marvellous
settling of California in 1s49, began
here yesterday. The objective point
of the rush is the Klondylke
gold fields in Alaska, and the
impelling force is the gold-hunting
fever that now affects every man
and woman in this community.
Trembling with impatience and flushed
with hopes and envy at the stories of

half-crazed people, herded with sheep
and horses on board the steamer Alki

The stories of returned miners, loaded
with gold and tales of wealth still
hidden in the earth, have started
fever among the residents of the Pa
cific states. The first boat to leave for
Alaska was crowded, and the fever has
spread so much that San Francisco
capitalists are planning to build rail-
road from the mouth of the Yukon
river to the heart of the gold district
along the Klondyke river.

DINING AND FEEDING.
American Table Manners Not So Open t.

American Table Manners Not So Open to
Criticism as Formerly.
It has been conceded that the degree
Of civilization a people has reached may
be accurately measured by it's dietary.
Now, some one has said that ''the
American feeds, the Engishman de-
YOURS, the Frenchman Dimes" In view
Of this statement one wonders what the
English have been doing through the
centuries to have advanced so little. We
do not pretend to answer for them, but
would say for ourselves, we have been
hewing our way through forests, pio-
neering in every direction, in every
sense-ample apology for feeding in
stead of dining:
But, Of course, it was Frenchman
who made the declaration, and, of
course, he made it long ago, when, NOR
tifying though it be-, honesty compels
US to acknowledge that we may have
been guilty. Times, however, and con-
ditions have changed, and not even the
most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to
admit that when the American has
reached the dining point he will have
more to dine upon than any other man
in the world. The culture of man in
America will demand all the art in his
cuisine that France by study has evolv-
ed, with the added merit of honesty in
his food, the DISCUSSES incident to pow
erty Of material not being a necessity.
There is no department. of supply in
which we have not the advantage, and
we are learning to use our materials as
rapidly as we have been obliged to
learn all other things. Ella Morris
