ONLY SENSATIONAL RUMORS.
Exodus from Mobile on Account of
Yellow Fever Exaggerated.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 2s.-Rumors
having gained wide currency TO the eff
feet that 500 yellow fever cases existed
at Mobile, Ala, and that the city was
being deserted by; thousands, cor
respondent there was wired for true
statement of the facts. In reply he
says that the facts regarding the re-
ported exodus are that about 1000 peo-
pie out of a population of 10000 have
left town during the past two weeks.
Very few are now leaving. Very many
people who could go have not been
stampeded and are there now arranging
their business. All stores and indus
trial establishments in town are open.
The reports of the depopulation are
sensational in the extreme. AS to there
being 500 sick, that is untrue.

Inning for Luetgcrt Defense.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Ihe strongest wit
ness for the defense who has appeared
in the Luetgert trial was on the stand
Saturday. The witness was Mary Stem
ering, the domestic in the Luetgert
household, for love of whom it is
charged by the state that the prisoner
murdered his wife. She denied in a
most positive manner that she had been
the disturbing element between Luet-
CERT and his wife, and said that neither
by night or by day, alone or in company,
had she ever visited Luetgert in his
factory or elsewhere in an improper
manner. She insisted that the prisoner
had always been good TO his wife, and
that in her opinion the latter was out
of her mind, and had been so for some
time prior to her disaDpearance.

How to Use Ink.
Tiom the New York Times. II. :.

Seeking for information, certain ques-
lions were asked Of an expert whose profit
lies, as manufacturer, in producing one
of the most popular self-feeding pens on
the market. This authority said that "a
dip of ink ought to write 100 words. That
in an hour about thirty drops Of ink were
used, and that in the sixty minutes the
pen travelled some eighth Of mile. 1t
all depended on the idiosyncracy of the
writer" In order to test this. number
of "habitual and hardened" scribes were
asked to take one dip only of ink, and
they were to work off their copy in their
usual elegant or slovenly manner. AS far
as averages went the result was disheart-
ening. One nan wrote IA words with the
one dip and another IA, and the characters
of the 144-word man were very much more
legible than those Of the 14-word man.
There was lady-a graceful contributor to
journalism-and in her Italian hand she
wrote eight words to the dip, and the
faster she produced copy the less words
she wrote TO the single dip. 1t is the meas
urenlent- of the writing-one-eighth of
mile to the hour-which is curious, and to
think 1t possible that there may be In
dustrious scribes who write every, day OF
their lives more than mile OF copy! we
wheel faster, We cover a mile in trott1ng
game of Billiards now than ever, because
the machines, or the track, or the table
and the balls are better constructed. With
improved pens ink, inkstand and paper do
we write any more speedily than in the
older time? The probability Is that We
are faster in our writing. the mechanical
impediments having been diminished; yet
the penman, even with the typewriter,
never kept pace with the rapidly of his
thoughts.

some. For instance, at the opening of the
Peoples Palace at Whitechapel the prin-
cess wore a striking dress Of olive green
velvet, brocaded with small ripe red
Strawberries. There could be no mistaking
SO distinctive a stuff. and it was recognized
by woman who had seen the princess in
Ireland two summers before as one that
had been worn at several functions in that
country. The style had been altered some
what, but there was the same splendid
fabric doing it's thorough economical duty.
Her royal hfShness' influence. too, has ever
been against excess in fashion. She has
always refused to patronize very wide
skirts, balloon-lke sleeves, or huge over
trimmed headgear. When ordering new
gowns, colored pictures of them. back and
front, they should look when finished,
with scraps of the proposed materials and
trimmings attached, are submitted for the
princess approval, and it is a very usual
occurrence for the princess to take her
own brush or pencil and alter the pictures
to please her excellent taste. The gowns
are fitted on model of her figure, and the
work women do not her at all un.ess
considerable alterations are necessary. The
clever brush has made It SO certain just
what her royal highness wants that per-
sonal interview is needless.

The Armenian Colony in Texas.

from the New YORK IclBune.
Three Armenian families from Diarbekir
and other ports of Turkey, one comprised
Of ten persons. with a grandfather eighty
years of age, wer4 added to the number of
the small Armenian colony settled in Pat
terson and Brookshire, Texas on the line
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
road.
They are mostly engaged in raising cotton
and corn, also some vegetables and fruits.
One of the early settlers has ginning
factory, and gins a thousand bales of cot
ton during the season, and three others
have stores for general merchandise in the
little town of Brookshire Recent letters
represent that almost all these Armenians
are doing well, and are gradually advanc-
ing. One of them writes that he lived six
years in the north and during all that time,
with very hard work, he was scarcely able
to lay aside $500. With that amount on
hand he went to Texas, and, living there
six years, saved about $4,000. They all

who are trying to earn living in the fac

man with 500 or $500 to start with can
make living there more easily than he
can in the north. All their neighbors in
Texas testify that these Armenians prove
to be Il desirable class of residents. By
close attention to the minor details of farm
routine work they are prosperiLg, and are
now leading merchants, ginners and farm
ers. AS a class they are frugal, indus
trious. temperate and public-spirited. They
have fully proved their worth.

HtOnh tne We" 1ork NatiOnal fr0vlSloner.
The industrial supremacy Of this country
is as much as virtually admitted by Great
Britain. Her statesmen are endeayorine
to protect home manufacturers against le-
climate American competition by prevent
ing English buyers from knowing where
goods superior to their own can be obtain
ed. Having invaded the English home and
colonial markets We have established our
right to the position We hold by supplying
manufactured and other products whose
superior quality could not fail of recogni-
ton. American products of all kinds have
displaced tho Sc of England in many quar-
tiers OF the globe. and II is frankly admitted
by honest Enelishmen that more attention
to local requirements on our part superior
finish. lower price, more careful packing
ard the omission to make special charges
therefor, cheaper freights and more rapid
communication have all contributed to our
conquest OF tie markets of the world. The
absurdlty of claiming. as some Englishmen
do, that American workmen are not so ex-
acting as to hours of labor and work longer
than the Engiishman is apparent, for while
there may be less interference with the
conduct of business affairs on the part of
American trades unions, the wages and
hours of labor of the American workman,
more through natural conditions than
through organization. are decidedly Better
than those of the English. The fact that
We have conquered is not due to any ex-
plOitation of labor, hut simply to the Eff
cheney Of the workman's labor, the lar~er
use of improved machinery. and the bus
-inesslike methods everywhere employed.

A GROWING BARN.
The Posts Took Root and Raised the
Structure High.

Structure High.
From the st. Louis obeDemocrat.
1t is not often that a man builds a one
story structure and has it transformed
into one of two stories almost without
effort on his part. This. however. is the
experience of ]. W. Fesler, who lives north
OF Morgantown, village a few miles
southwest of Franklin. Ind. He has a barn
which threatens to develop into a sky
scraper." In 1891. having need of a new
barn, he built q small structure and in it's
construction he used green willow posts at
the corners and along the sides. These he
sunk into the ground in the usual manner
says the 1nter-Ocean. For some time moth
Ing unusual was noticed, but after a year
he saw that whereas he laid the floor near
the ground, it was now three feet above
the soil. On examination he discovered
that the willow pests, instead of being
dead, as he supposed they were on putting
them ill., were in reality alive, and had
taken root and were growing. In their
upward movement they carried the barn
along. He watched this with interest
month by month and year by year. OF
course, he had to build another barn. for
1: was inconvenient to use the constantly
rising structure. Last spring the first barn
was on stills nine feet high, and in August
he put In a new floor and surrounded the
posts with siding, thereby making it a
two-story affair. There is now a space of
Z inches between the new floor and the
ground. and Mr.. Fesler expects to have a
three-story barn in course of time He
has built outside stairs 10 the second
story. The heighbOrs come for miles
around to see Testers elevator" as they
call it, and he and his barn are the SUBJ
jects of great deal of fun in and around
Morgantown.

How the Jnps ventilnte Tunnels

AAOss shC SupB
From the Detroit Free Press.
Ever since the opening of the Port Huron
tunnel there has been serious trouble about
its ventilation. JThe lsmoke and gases es-
Gaping from the locomotive could not be
expelled promptly enough and several de-
vices were proposed and experimental with
in order to securs fresh air under the river.
but all proved failures. 1t has been stated
by engineers that aHelectric motor to pull
the trains through the hole is the only So
luton Of this difficult problem. In the
current issue of the Railway and Ensin-
eering Review is a picture, copy of which
is given here, showing the method used IN
Japan for ventilating tunnels. The article
accompanying the picture says: MANY
parts of Japan are rough and mountainous,
and therefore the trouble and expense Of
the construction and maintenance of tun-
nels and heavy grades are not strangers in
that country The laps, however, usually
find the best way out of a difficulty, and
their method of 'cfeariug tunnels Of smoke
and gases is worthy of note. Each end of
the tunnel is provided with a heavy can
vas curtain suspended on a wire at the top.
Immediately after train enters, this cur
tain Is drawn SO as to cover the entire
opening, and allowed to remain until the
train has passed out of the other end. The
result Is that sill smoke and gases are car
ried out with the. train and the tunnel left
perfectly clear; in fact, the smoke seldom
reaches the middle of q long train or the
rear OF a short one.
