strange and Inexplicable. It is said that most

ALMOST sUFFOCATED BY AMMONIA
Peri1Ous Adventure of a Workman
1n "a Newark Cellar.

Peri1Ous Adventure of a Workman
in "a Newark Cellar.
A diving helmet came in handy yes
terday for trip into q cellar in New
ark A workman had been sent to fix
an ice machine which Alexander fraud
recently placed in the cellar of Peter
Murray's saloon on Market. Louis
Fisher, the workman, accidently broke
one Of the connections and the cellar
became flooded with the highly con-
centrated fumes of anhydrous ammo
mia, says the New York Sun.
Fisher fed and the cellar was
shut up. Then he telephoned to the
shop for q boy, an air pump and a
helmet. They came together and, DON
ming the hat, Fisher went downstairs
to fix the broken valve, while the boy
pumped fresh air into the cellar
Fisher complained that the air of the
open cellarWay was too strong with
ammonia, and sent the boy to a cor
ner at the foot Of the inside stair, where
the air was so pure that the boy could
breathe easily and at the same time
supply Fisher with something besides
ammoniacal gas. Everything went
we'll until somebody opened the door
leading from the head of the cellar
stairs into the saloon.
This created a draught which carried
the ammonia from the rear of the GEL
lar to the point where the boy was
stationed and made him vince Fisher
found that he was getting more ammo
mia than air through the hose and
rushed toward the open air, but was
nearly overcome before he reached it,
the boy having been driven away from
the pump. The fumes of ammonia
flowed into the saloon through the Gel
larway, and in less than a minute
score Of people were weeping Fisher
made another dive with an air supply
from the street and managed to shut
off the pungent gas. For an hour or
more the saloon was barely tenanta-
BILE. Murray spent most of the after
noon explaining to his customers, who
objected to the odor.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKET

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 1.-THE movement in
butter is light. Quotations on extra separa-

is the result of freer offerings Of these two
grades, with only moderate call from the
local trade. Seconds and thirds quiet,
with current receipts not excessive. The
country is not shipping much dairy goods
into the city at present and the demand.
while Of small proportions is about sufficient
to absorb all offered. Roll and print Is firm
er than anything else in the butter line.
Packing stock is easy.
The feeling is decidedly easy eggs, with
quotations 1Q11ac lower. There is virtuaiiss
no jobbing demand, and only small buying
by retailers. The Eastern market broke
rather heavily yesterday.

The most bloody old william in
Africa is believed to be a prisoner
in the hands of the British. He
was the "great executioner" of the
King Of Ashanti, and for thirty
yeaas his business was to put to
death those enemies o. the king who
CHANGED to be made prisoners, and
those slaves who fell under the
royal displeasure or whose lives
were sacrificed in so-called religious
rites. In the course OF his career il
is believed the executiouer put ia
death with his own hands anywhere
from 10000 to $4,000 persons The
executions took place in "a sacred
grove" of cottonwood trees near
Kumassi, and the ground under the
trees were literally covered with
bones and grinning skulls of vic.
tins. The grove has been destroy.
ed by the British, and the horriG
butcheries have stopped.

In st. Louis Judge Klein has re-
fused divorce for a couple who
had been married twen:y>six years
and had fourteen children. "Rea'
sonsble forbesrance," said Judge
Klein, "will enable you to live to-
gether during your few remaining
years, thereby setting good ex-
ample to your children to lead them
in the paths of virtue and rectitude. y
The St. Louis Republic wickedly
suggests that the Judge evidently
believes in a fight to a finish. :.

Why should it be SO very hard to
use those little words "please' and
"thank you" !? 1t is rarely one hears
them between members OF the fami>
ly. Little duties are exacted with
out thanks, and "please" seems
altogether unnecessary. But how
different with friends or strangers.
Those who are bound to us by the
closest ties those who think more
of US than strangers ever can-they
are not worth the trouble to please.
surely they can appreciate polite
ness as well as others. Probably ii
is mere forgetfulness but we should
never permit this graciousness on
our part to be misunderstood
We're too stingy with our politeness,
and an effort on the part of the
older members Of the family to re.
member it would be wonderful
lesson to the little folks.
