Vision in Church Window at Canton,
Mimi. Explained.

Four years ago there appeared in the
various papers of the country, particu-
larly the great journals of the East,
long accounts of the figure of the Nir-
gin Mary appearing on a window in a
little Catholic church at the village of
Canton, Mimi, about 40 miles from
st. Paul.
A short time ago a newspaper man
who was working in st. Paul at the
time the picture appeared on the
church window at Canton suCcumbed
to an attack of typhoid fever and with
him passed away the mystery sur
rounding the affair, He was the origi-
nator of the hoaX-for it was nothin Z
but a hoaX-and had sent out the story
on a dull Sunday night as fake
believing that the whole matter would
end with printing the yarn.
Among the papers to which the story
was sent was the New York Herald,
which promptly wired the correspond
ont to proceed at once to Canton and
get up a five-column story, accompa-
MED by pictures, attldavits etc. Here
was a pretty mess but the correspond
ent was equal to the emergency. He
went TO Canton, took into his confidence
the local photographer and had photo
graphed on pane of glass the figure
he had described.
This pane was placed in the church
window. taking the place of the origi-
nal glass, on which there was no figure
whatever. The work was done at night,
so that the next morning. when the
townspeople heard of the miracle lin
their midst" and hurried to the church,
they found everything all regular The
good priest preached many sermon
on the strange occurrence. and several
men of Canton. who had been noted
for their general disbelief in all things
religious, Immediately reformed and
became faithful members of the
church.
This time he had a picture of the Vir-
gin Mary with the infant Jesus in her
arms. Again did the press of the coun-
try take up the story, and again did the
correspondent get many checks of large
denominations for his reports of the
miracle. The people of Canton We're all
pulled up with pride over the attention
their town was attracting and daily the
little church was visited by curious
crowds from outside, all anxious 10 see
the picture.
At last the bishop of the diocese took
a hand in the case and ordered every
window in the church removed and
new ones put in. This ended the mir
acle. for the correspondent was afraid
TO try the game again. and from that
day TO this Canton has not been heard

TIE EDUCATION AMONG INDIANS.
Many of the Students at Carlisle Show q
Capacity for Knowledge.

auaHy VI Tie at SHOW d
Capacity for Knowledge.
From the New York Post.
That the Indian has a capacity for
higher education appears from the facts
given in the 18th annual report of the
Indian industrial school at Carlisle Pa.
During the past year five students from
Carlisle have attended Dickinson col
lege for women. Others have attended
the Carlisle high school, some have
been at the normal schools of the state
DreXel institute at Philadelphia, New
Haven and Hartford. One of the pu
pills, after graduating from New En-
gland normal school, was employed last
year in a high school in Connecticut
and taught so successfully as to be re-
called and given a permanent situation
as teacher. Thus far no difficulty has
been experienced in placing all those
who showed a desire for higher edu-
cation than is given at Carlisle. There
for manifest reasons, the education is
of a practical industrial character, as
| best fitted to make the Indian self-sup-
porting in his changed condition. AS
a further means of Inducing the In
dian boys and girls into civilized fam
lily and national life the outing system
has been adopted. During the fiscal
year 1897 there were placed out from
the Carlisle school for longer or shorter
periods 401 boys and 319 girls. OF these
104 boys and 101 girls remained out all
winter, attending district and other
Americanizing schools with the young
people of the families in which they re-
sided earning their board with their
work out of school hours. By an ex-
tension of this system the school could
economically care for 1900 children, or
about twice the present number en-
rolled. The children placed with fam
lilies last year earned a total of $780,
1889 of which the boys earned 3d.
1922 and the girls S7,26312. From these
amounts the boys saved $6,426.03 and
the girls s3,2Ss.21. Boys and girls who
have been out number of times have
acquired the ability to earn full wages.

ANTS CAPTURE A VESSEL.
Captain and Crew of n British Ship
Driven Ashore by Insects.
From London Answers.


From London Answers.
When a vessel recently arrived in
Liverpool with cargo of logwood
everybody on board. from the captain
down to cook. rushed frantically ashore
as though pursued by some unseen en-
envy AS a matter of fact. the vessel
was literally swarming with hordes of
hungry Jamaica ants.
The little pests had invaded the lock-
ers and dived headlong to the sugar
barrels. After finishing the contents Of
these they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply of hard tack. and
ate everything before them, until it
was feared that the stock of provisions
on board would run short. There was
a cessation from their attacks when The
vessel was caught in a West india hur-
rcan, which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below. 1t was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned but after the storm had
passed away they began a gain with re-
newed energy.
The captain who commands the YES
sci stated that there are millions of the
insects still on board, and he thought
that the cargo must have come from
the vicinity of ant hills, for which ia
maica IS noted. He stated that the
ants were in all parts of the vessel,
and that in all his experience at sea
he had never before met with an at
tack like the newcomers waged against
him

JENkS' STATEMENT.
Mosier Gave No Notice Before Levyin z
the Attachment on The Company

New York, Dec. 24.-The receivership
application in this state was for the
purpose OF extending the New Jersey
premiership and thus to simplify the
handling OF the affairs Of the corpora
ton. Stephen A. jerks, president of
the Herring Hall Marvin company, has
given out the following statement con-
corning the affairs of that corporation:
The appointment of a receiver for the
property of the Herring Hall Marvin
company was precipitated by the action
of Moses Mosler who for the past two
years and until two weeks ago, has
been director of the company, chair
man of its executive committee and in
active charge of the management of it's
business, and who. without giving any
notice to the company or its officers,
levied an attachment on its property.
The resignation OF Mr.. Mosler and his
brother. William Mosler, as directors of
the company, We're received about two
weeks ago. The company's assets are
intact; no preference or security has
been given, and the entire property has
passed into the hands of receivers ap-
pointed by the United States courts.
"A plan of reorganization has been
under consideration for some time as
is well known to those interested in the
company, and it has been hoped to
consummate the plan without receiver
ship.
The plan embraces the furnishing of
new capital to an amount sufficient to
pay all debts and enable the company
TO buy on a cash basis; also making
such reduction in the capital stock as
will bring II into proper relation with
the companys present assets. 1t is
we'll known that the company has sus-
tanned severe loss during recent years
and 1t was these losses that led to plac-
ing the management in the hands Of
the present voting trustees. The present

STRONGER FOR SILVER
The Sentiment Is Growing in the
Middle West.
EX.-GOV. ALTGELD TALKS
The Republican Party Has Been Sneak

Policy-Not Time for It to
Throw Off the Mask.

Sacramento, Cal, Dec. 24.-Ex-G Gov
ernor Altgeld Of Illinois stopped over in
Sacramento last night en- route to Los
Angeles, leaving for the latter place on
this mornings train. He is accom-
panied by his wife, who is in i'll health
and it is this that has caused him to
make a trip to California.
This morning, despite his aversion to
interviews. he consented to say few
words as to whether the sentiment in
favor of silver in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana
and bordering states was growing
stronger or weaker. He said: II can
assure you that the sentiment in favor
of silver is not only stronger than it
was in 1896, but it is very much strong
er There is no question whatever
about this and it is steadily growing. |

much stronger sentiment than there
was at the last presidential election,

do you think" was asked. that the
republican party at the next election
will stand on it's old platform or will
it declare uncompromisingly for the
gold standard?"
1.-THE republican party has not the
courage to do what you suggest in the
last half of your question:" Altgeld an
swered. For the past 20 years the re-
publican party has been sneaking along
with it's gold standard policy. 1t has
been trying to saddle it upon the ma
ton While pretending to be favorable
to international bimetallism. 1t hopes
in time to get the policy firmly fas-
tened upon the people, but as the time
lis not yet ripe for it to throw off the
mask. it will continue with it's sneak
ing, insinuating pretensions of friendli-
ness to an international bimetallic
standard"
