Two Curlou. Autorraph. A

One Uf the most expensive auto graph albums ever bought was that purchased by Lord Clancarty at Paris ill 1881 for the sum of e1, 800.
 Among these autographs, all of which bear the signatures of cele- brated personages, there are two which are curious because of their brevity. The first one reads:
 Mile. Clairon has no bread. I4n- cien Bonaparte. !"
 The other consists of two lines on. ly:
 ''GoOd for 2,0oo francs, payable on sight to Mile. CIairon by the treasurer of the ministry. Chaptal !"
 The money was paid within the hour.
 These two slips of paper are wit. neeses to the fact that the claims of want and suffering were recognized by the French government, even during the most turbulent times of its existence.-YOuth's Companion.

4 remarkable freak of lightning

A remarkable freak of lightning occurred last Saturday at Seligm sn, It had been raining around on the hills during the day but no rain had fallen in town. About f o'clock in the afternoon a blinding flash of lightning struck the railroad yards, where several hundred men were at work, with a deafening report, and knocking every man down, When they recovered from the shock it was found that two mules had been killed and the driver partly para Igzed in the lower limbs. Another
 man who had received a severe
 shock recovered sufficiently to re- sume work in a short time. When the quitting hour arrived he mechan'

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Those From whisky show Decided
Failing On.

Washington. Nov. 15.-There has
been a decided falling of IN the re-
ceipts from internal revenue during the
last three years. chiefly in the tax ON
distilled spirits, and the commissioner
of internal revenue will undoubtedly
recommend reduction in the whisky
tax as a matter of revenue.
Some people contend that the falling
off is the result of a general business
depression, but the experts In the
treasury are unanimous in believing
that it is due to the increase of the tax
from 30 cents to $1.1O by the Wilson
law. They admit that the hard times
undoubtedly had some effect upon the
consumption of whisky. but no more
than upon the consumption Of tobacco
and beer, and comparison of the de-
crease In the revenues from those three
articles seems to sustain their theory.
The loss in the revenue from distilled
liquors. from the passage of the Will
son law to the end Of the last fiscal
year amounted to $S7 .O31 ,453, and the
consumption fell of SO 1000, 900 gallons.
The tobacco tax was not changed, and
the loss from that article was only
$960, ,261 during the period named.
Nor was there any change In the tax
on malt liquors, and the loss from that
source was only 81, ,5S6, ,7z4 IN the two
years and a half. Calculated by per-
centages, the loss ON distilled liqu0ra
was 1895 per cent, ON tobacco "a pen
cent, on beer per cent.
The increase in the tax was % pea
cent; the average falling on In the re
ceipts from all sources was II PEI
cent.
At the same time the Illicit disttller
les increased from 1.O18 in 1893 to L..
0O5 IN 1896.

Toledo, O.. Nov. IA combination
Of steel tubing manufacturers, repre-

vania, and the Greenville Tube Com

consolidation is called the Shelby Tube

600. w. H. Miller of Shelby will be the
president and general manager.
The big deal was promoted by Colonel
Fl. A. IIozier and Mr. Miller, who re-
GENTLY sized each other up in the fight
to form a steel trust, with the help of
English capital. The combination is
in a position to make big bid for for
eign trade as the Steifel patents are a
part Of the assets. The minimum out
put Of the combined mills Is 5000. 900

however. by which tubing for differ

work, etc. 1t is expected that the

Clrcuit Court in Idaho Confirms the Claims
Of About 500 Settlers.
Boise, idaho, Nov. 13.-Some time ago
a suit was brought by the Northern Pa
cific railroad to eject about 300 settlers
in Northern Idaho, who had settled up
on lands which the road claims under
it's grant from the government. This
land embraces several hundred thou
sand acres, and is situated in the Coeur
d'Alene land district In Koote11ai coun-
ty. When the government made the
grant to the road 1t included every al
ternate section for forty miles back
from the line of the road, excluding the
land held as Indian reservations. When
the Indians ce1ed large portion Of
their reservation to the government the
road claimed this, and under the grant
the case was brought before United
States Judge Beatty. who decided that
the land belonged to the government
and that the settlers were entitled to
possession. The attorneys for the road
appealed to the Circuit Court, which
has just dismissed the appeal. This
action emves the homes OF hundreds Of
Idaho settlers. ~ no further appeal will
be taken.

Chicago, Nov. 13-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Ratification Of the Hawaiian annexa-
ton treaty by the United States Sen
ate is assured.
The administration has made a poll
Of that body and as a result President
Mckinley is satisfied that more than
two thirds Of the senators will vote for
ratification.
When the treaty was submitted to
the Senate on June 18th last, fifty
seven senator were depended upon to
cast their votes in favor of the instru-
ment. Eleven senator's were doubtful
and twenty-one were opposed to its
ratification.
Since that time the administration
has taken steps to ascertain the views
Of the men who were then in doubt.
As a result President Mckinley is de-
pending upon sixty-one senators who
will certainly Cast their votes in favor
OF the treaty, with prospects of the
addition Of several votes to this num-
ber.
These are the senators who, 1t is
said, will vote for the treaty:

eign relations, reported to the Senate
and placed on the calendar with prac-
tically the unanimous Endorsement OF
the committee. There were no votes
against 1t, though Senators Turpie and
Daniel refrained from voting because
they had not fully made up theiI
minds as to what position they would
take In the matter.
1t is said to be the purpose Of Chair
man Davis, at the first executive ses,
sion, to ask that day be fixed for tax
ing up the treaty. Ratification during
the early part of the year is confidently
expected.
