they saw Emma's father on bicycle in
pursuit. They increased their speed, as
did the old man.
He fired another shot from his re-

taken on the doctors wheel and the
couple soon distanced the irate parent
and were married long before he ar
rived in town.

LADY COLONIES.

They talk about progress i,I the East, but while they are thus talking two women have been commissioned as colonels by southern governors-Miss Butt by Governor Atkinson of Georgia and Miss Ely by Governor Taylor of Tennessee. No elaborate description of the two lady colonels is given but it stands to reason that they are as pret- ty as any of the gentlemen colonels and their lady, colonel clothes doubtless fit them. Their appointment is a just rec ognition of the new order of things and Is an example which will probably soon be followed in all the States Lady colonels will add to the picturesqueness of staffs and will also increase the so- cial quality and value thereof. The southern governors have done we'll and their lady colonels will look 50 well and do so we'll that they will be a credit to themselves and their creators. They will also be helpful to the gentle men colonels who serve with them. They will teach them how to make up more skillfully and permanently.

Ex-Governor Horace Boies, of Iowa, who was prominent supporter of Bry- an and the Popocratic platform last year, can learn. He says: For one, do not believe it possible to succeed upon platform that demands the un- qualified free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to with gold We have fought that battle, and it is lost. We can never fight it over under circum- stances favorable to ourselves" But MT. Boies does not abandon bimetal- lisn. He proposes that the govern ment shall receive gold and silver at their market Value, issue treasury notes in exchange therefor, and redeem the notes in gold or silver at the market value of the metals on the day of re- demption. This would utilize both gold and silver for money purposes, and at the same time would preserve the gold standard. It is essentially the same as the plan which Secretary Windom pro- posed several years ago.
 MT. Boies is right about unqualified free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. And it is doubtful that his other notion can make much progress now.

TRIED BY FIRE.

The modern steel skeleton type of building has not yet been thoroughly tested by fire, and it was therefore con-
 sidered advisable by the New York fire underwriters to have an expert ex- animation made as to the result of the fire that occurred In Pittsburg, which
 destroyed not only quite a number of buildings, but also involved one mer- cantile and two office buildings of fire
 proof construction. The hardest test was in the Horne department store
 It's defects were it's height, its area, a great we'll hole opening for light and ventilation running from the top to the
 bottom, and front composed almost
 entirely of glass, with an absence of proper protection to the iron and steel supports of the roof. The conflagra-
 ton on the other side of the thorough
 fare upon which the building faced
 drove all the fire defensive apparatus from the street and sent great masses
 of flame against the glass front of the
 Horne building, so that it's contents, by the instant sweeping away of the glass, were set on fire on all floors at once. But. although the contents were burned out completely, the building it.
 self would have suffered little struc-
 tural damage if the roof supports had been properly protected. These gave
 way, allowing a part of the roof to col | lapse-a damage that was intensified by the falling of great water tank which ] was above the roof. And yet in spite ] of this, out of 120 columns only 5, out of 16S girders only 4, and out of 96O beams only 40 were found to be dam aged or gone. The value of the skele-
 ton injured to the total skeleton value
 was probably about per cent. The
 examiner sums up the result of his in-
 vestigation by saying: "The question
 Of skeleton protection consider as set
 tied by this fire. With good protection the skeleton may absolutely be relied upon to stand even g conf1agration."

Cheer up! It was warm on the coast" yesterday and the coast was right here. But don't you remember. sweet Alice Ben Bolt, that time last summer when 1t was warmer on the coast" every day until 1t got so warm that there was a demand that the coast be moved? We haven't had much real summer yet this year, and those who are engaged in setting traps for the public at summer resorts will not find it too warm until it is a long time warmer than 1t is now. Moreover, corn has only just begun to enjoy itself So let us not complain. It has been de- cided to give us a fine new pump on the Green, and though 1t has been dis covered that the band stand is lack ing in acoustic qualities" bands will play in 1t at suitable intervals. With these blessings. and with the memory of the glorious Fifth, we can struggle along until the next term opens.

the sound Is heard with equal plain ness in both ears, the instrument is pointing in the direction of the sound; when, however, the sound is heard with greater plainness in one ear than in the other, the instrument is pointing at an angle with the direction of the sound. The sensitiveness possessed by this peculiarity of construction, even under the most strained circumstances, Is said to be very remarkable. The instru- ment is attached to the top of the pilot house, the tubes from the receivers be- ing brought inside the house for use by the pilot.

account against their foes 10 the utter most farthing when their time should come.
 Two days afterwards patches of raw blue, moving here and there against the white glare of sun-baked earth and stones, showed that the enemy were at last investing the fort Every now and then the little putfs of smoke drifted out across the hot dust, and handful of slugs flattened themselves Viciously against the parapet or tore through the silken folds of the flag. Whenever a man showed himself within range, the Cazadores fired in return; but the Arabs who had crawled into gunshot of the fort were mostly invisible, for. by long practice, they are adopts in the art of concealing themselves behind a stone or euphorbia bush, and occasion ally even wriggle out of sight into the sand.
 Towards afternoon, while the defend- CTS crouched down on the hot stones under the burning sun, Lieutenant Carlot called out, Viva la Espana!"
 and sprang to his feet. Every man rose, and looking seaward, saw a patch of white canvas far out on the gleam- ing water As they did so, two guns flashed somewhere along the edge of the ravine, and soldier dropped his rifle which clattered upon the stones;
 then, clutching at his side, sank down in limp heap in the shadow of the wall.
 The Cazadores dropped out of sight like the furry denizens of a warren at ! the crack of A double barrel Don Ro- (Continued on Sixth Page.)

somely trimmed with scrolls and lines of delicate silver braid. On the bodice, which was violet surah. the braid ap- peared at the wrists of the almost fitted sleeves. A bodice felt of mauve satin set off the waist, and fluffy frills of white chiffon adorned shoulders and front.
 Some of the new picture gowns are not as attractive as this one and strongly remind the observer that not all pictures are graceful and romantic. In one of these was seen deep pointed yoke, with epaulets at the shoulder made of stiff silk covered with lace Row on row of frills appeared follow ing an unbroken cape line, over which the yoke seemed to lie. The yoke, all ready quaint enough, was mounted high at the throat, where frilled tabs stood out to either side of the chin. The belt dipped to follow the long sharp point of the yoke. which extended in stom- acher fashion to just below the belt line. The skirt was gathered into a series of shirrings. fitting thus closely over the hips. Below the last shirrine the skirt, which was of muslin like the frills, stood out crisp and quaint, and wrinkled sleeves fitted from the knuckles of theshand to under the cape frills. The muslin sparkled with tin sel embroidered leaves. A wide and stiff white shirred hat was worn, with straight up ponpon that gave the last touch of quaintness. This gown was distinctly modern one, but il was as old and ugly in It's picturesque ness as gown right out of an old Dutch painting.
 Dainty mourning gowns for summer are being made of mousseline de sole over silk, the mollsseline finished with many folds of crepe Crepe appears al the finish of the shoulders, and there Is a touch of 1t on the waist.

The practical value of the eophone would appear to be confirmed by the call of the secretary of the treasury up- on congress for some twelve thousand dollars in order to place them on reve-
 nue cutters. AS is well understood, the eophone is a sound catching device, its purpose being the determination with all possible accuracy, in a fog or dark ness, of the location of sound, both as to direction and distance. It is formed of two bell-mouthed receivers. placed one on each side of a sheet of metal or other material, extending some distance in front of the receiver. A tube from the left-hand sound receiver is placed at the left ear of the person operating the eophone, and a tube from the right hand receiver at the right ear. When

Kansas is now directing attention to its mineral deposits and their possibili- ties It produces coal. building stone, zinc. salt, gypsum, oil, gas, cement, mineral water and clay, the output of all these in 1895 being worth about $5,- 1000 This was triple the output of 1885, and is regarded as promising much for the future The State stands first in the production of gypsum, its out put being more than double the com- bined product of all the other States, Michigan excepted. It is eleventh among the coal-producing States, eighth in oil production and fifth in gas, having an oil and gas area of 5000 square miles. Nearly a million and a half barrels of salt are marketed annu- ally, and about twenty-one thousand tons of zinc. The zinc-bearing ore is very rich, the yield being 6e 2-3 per cent.

I am a sunfiower farmer at my home in Russia. One of my family was the first person in Russia to obtain oil from the seed of the sunfiower. It is one of the leading agricultural industries in the Czar's dominions now, and the peo- pie can clear more money from it than any other crop. If the soil and climat- ic conditions are right in the United States, and can fined a suitable loca- tion, I may enter on the cultivation of the sunfiower on a large scale, and also put up mills for the extraction of the oil.

French scientists claim to have dis covered that the potato is liable, late in spring, to cause serious and possibly fatal disease They declare that the eyes or sprouts contain poison. The potato is chief article of diet in the French army. The French Minister of War Is so firmly convinced of the dele -ttsrieus character of potatoes in the sprouting stage that he has issued or ders that places where the vegetable is stored shall be regularly visited and inspected, and the eyes removed from tubers that have begun to bud. The War Office authorities believe that many cases of poisoning hitherto inex- aplicabIe, as rule trifiing, but often se- rious, are due to the consumption of sprauted potatoes.

We are not told what the eggs are to be made of or whether they will be good eggs, but only that the shells, after being emptied, can be utilized in india rubber shoe factories. and that eggs will be so cheap that hens will be driven out of business.
