A THRILLING ACCIDENT.
One of the summer Incidents of thu
Aims.

Accidents in the Alps are of frequent
occurrence every summer, most of them
being due to inexperience and under
estimation of the difficulties to be en-
countered in mountain climbing in the
high Alps. The accident on the Buch-
stein, which cost a Frenchman by the
name of Goudet his life, is particularly
interesting, first, because it occurred on
the ascent, While most Alpine disasters
occur while descending, and second, be-
cause of the. hairbreath escape of a
German tourist, NJ. Keidel, who was
fastened to Goudet,. a very large and
heavy man, by a rope Shortly before
the top of the plateau near the summit
was reached there is a particularly diff
ficult path, which can be passed only
with great care. The six gentlemen Of
the party marched iii twos, and four Of
them had passed, Goudet and Keidel
being the last two. Keidel was ahead
n carefully assembled the rocks, having
great difficulty in helping Goudet to fol-
low. The four gentlemen had reached
the plateau and were admiring the grea,
circufnspection of Mr.. Keidel in assist
ing Goudet and Keidel himself had
climbed over the edge of and reached

which probably had been loose before,
broke off under the strain of the rope
between Keidel and ,Goudet, while at
the same moment the tourists above saw
Keidel disappear over the abyss before
their very eyes. Hurrying to the edge
of the plateau they saw the two bodies,
with a rock etwee them, tumbling
down to the ledge, at least go feet
below. They Immediately hurried to
the assistance of their companions. and
found Goudet fully conscious, but NOR
tally hurt, on the ledge. There was
no trace of Keidel, however. and the
rope. which was still fastened to the
body of Goudet, hung over another
abyss. Looking down they found Keidel,
still in an unconscious condition, sus-
pended in mid-air on the rope; being
Goudet. Keidel was soon freed from
his perilous position, and although com
planning of pain, he was able to com
plete the descent without assistance,
while Goudet died before medical aid
could reach him.-Philadelphia Record.

LONG DISTANCE RECORD
THE PET CAT OF THE ALA.
MEDIA.
Will Travel Million Miles-The
Greater Part of the Distance
Overwhelmingly Pet.

Here is a cat that is striving to
make a unique record. To cover
one million miles is the goal of its
ambition and that of its owner,
Chief Engineer A. D. Little of the
steamer Alameda, of the Oceanic
line, says a late Call.
1t is the most widely travelled cat
in the world. Up to the present
time Tom has covered a distance Of
$4,000 miles during his wander
ings, and both he and has master
are living in the hope that he will
be able to reach the million mark
incidentally, Tom has had many
strange experiences. He had been
battered about and laid on the sick
list more than once, but never has
this prevented him from continuing
his travels.
Tom has done most of his jour
nevings on the Alameda, on boar1
which Mr.. Little has sailed as chief
engineer for over thirteen years.
The Alameda plies between San
Francisco, Hawaii, New Zealand
and Australia, and at every port
where the vessel touches Tom is as
well known as the oldest salt in the
service. There are dozens of per-
sons interested in him and many Of
them keep a record of the miles he
travels, adding to the score when
ever the famous old feline reaches
port. On the water front at San
Francisco Tom is as we'll known
in fact, better than the oldest police
man on the beat, and surely twice
as we'll liked, and at Honolulu,
Apia, Auckland and Sydney he is
the first favorite with all who fire.
quent the docks. There will GER
tainly be general lamentation if
Tom is not spared to make his re-
cord of a million miles, buth the
chances are that he will, for at pres
ent the old cat is as healthy as he
ever was.
1t was not until Tom had been at
sea for ten years that Mr.. Little be-
gan to figure up the number Of
miles he had covered, but since that
time he has kept a careful record,
and at the close of the last voyage,
when it was discovered that Tom
had covered a distance of 675,ooo
miles, there was general feasting
among the crew. At present the
feline globe-trotter is forging his
way over the ocean, adding more
miles to his record, and when he
left San Francisco he looked as
strong as if he were in his prime,
and so the race between time and
death goes on, with time having
the best of it up to now.

statement that Ii has at least increased
our markets abroad for manufactured
goods. 1t is true that our sales for man.
ufactured goods abroad foot up larger
total now than they did before that law
went into effect but 1t is also true that
this total measured in dollars Is due to q
great extent to an increased price OBJ
tanned for articles sold, rather than an
increase In the quantity for which a
market was found. Illuminating oils
which brought twenty odd million dol
lars of money to American markets in
1896 more than In 1894, did so solely be-
cause of the Increased price OF oil, the
number OF gallons exported IN 1896 being
actually less than in 1894. The same Is
true in many other instances. The other
cause of the increase in expectations is
due to the fact that American markets
were filed with foreign manufactures
and that our own markets found it
necessary to either seek market abroad at
any price, or close their establishments.
In many cases they were Obliged to sell
at n loss in order to dispose of the stocks
on hand for which they found no home
