Edward Cousi, a Frenchman, was
Instantly killed recently at the Daune
Simpson farm in Nottingham. He
was at work on a load of logs and
three of themsrolled over him. 1t is
said that broken rib penetrated his
heart, and another statement is to
the effect that death was caused by
limb on one of the logs. Cousi came

Michael Cavanaugh, the Vermont
steeple jack, was seriously injured
last Tuesday night by fall from the
roof of the Baptist church, Brattle-
boro. His head was cut open and he
was carried to his home unconscious.
He had just finished work on the
church spire, 10 feet high, and had
walked out on the roof to get hat
which his assistant had dropped,
when the small wire which supported
him gave way and he rolled off the
roof. His exploits in climbing CHM
neys and church steeples have at
tracted much attention and he never
met with an accident before.

The capture of Victoria de las Tu-
mas by the Cubans under Gen. Garcia
is another step in the pacification of
the province of Santiago by driving
the Spaniards out. The rebellion, in
the east, which Gen. Weyler started
for Santiago de Cuba last July with
forty battallions to crush, is in the
crushing business itself, as the Span
ish garrison that surrendered at Vic
toria de las Tunas can testify. The
captain or that fortified place auspic-
iously opens the administration of
Cuba's new president, Masso, and fur
nishes those who are in favor of rec
ognizing the belligerency of the Gu
bans with a new argument. 1t may
also lead to the, recall of Weyler,
which would be g. much less ,unmixed
gain for Cuba, since that commander
has done more, to make, the Spanish
name odious than all the speeches OF
Senator Morgan or writings of Ste
phen Bourell or Richard Harding

Very few of the millions of people
who carry watches realize to what a
wonderful extent fabrication is de-
veloped, and what an extraordinary
number of turns the balance wheel
makes with one oiling. A Chestnut
street matchmaker whose knowledge
of the won derful pieces of mechanism
is not ex ceeded by any man in this
city, has made up an interesting ia
BILE of comparisons to show the per-
lection of fabrication in a watch.
A watch will run on one oiling from
year to year and a half. Every
minute the balance wheel turns on
it's xis $50 times and p, 900 times an
hour. Accepting year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling, he finds that if the driver of
LOGON olive was as we'll oiled as a
balance wheel of a watch it ought to
run sixty miles an hour day and night
for 64S days, or well on to two years,
would trrverse distance equal to
nearly forty times the circumference
of the earth.
In view of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day
without reoiling, he maintains that
the matchmaker has developed his
art to far greater degree than the
locomotive builder has yet been able
to each.

Stories are coming from the Klon-

but occasionally we see something
telling of the suffering which is likely
to be seen in that region this winter.
The people have crowded in there
without ample preparation thinking
that they were to find fortune in a
few days and now they are without
money and with provisions so scarce
that everything is very high in price,
and unless they make a lucky strike
starvation will later stare them in the

waited till the spring opened and had
more time for making preparations

Christian Endeavor organization VIII
be held in San Francisco July to II.
The attendance at these annual con-
ventions range from 10000 to 10000.
Those who are in a position to know
say that $4,000 is a very conservative
estimate of what the attendance this
year will be. A large per centage OF
these delegates will come by way OF
Salt Lake City.
AS these young people are opposed
to patronizing Sunday trains it will be
necessary for them to stop of over
Sunday en- route in order to reach San
Francisco on Wednesday,, the opening
day. Forseeing this opportunity of
capturing this army of pilgrims the
local Endeavors have not left stone
unturned to show to their eastern
friends the many attractions of our
mountain home.
The visitors will arrive on Saturday,
July 3, and remain over until the fol-
lowing Monday evening. Already sew
eral state and city unions, including
Pennsylvania, Washington, D. c., Ohio
and Chicago, numbering about 1000
delegates, have made their arrange

So with this good sized army of trans

July and the large crowds expected to

NATIONAL BANKS.
JoHNsoN's BILL GOES THROUGH
THE HOUSE.
Speaker Reed Will Order Removed
From the Record the Words An
nouncing That Bryan Was
Cheered on the Arrival in the
House on Wednesday.

Washington, Feb. 25.-By a vote of
IA 20 10 the house, after two hours
debate, passed the bill of Mr.. Johnson
(Rep., Ind.) authorizing national banks
to take out circulation to the par value
of the bonds deposited to secure it
an increase OF 10 per cent over the
limit row allowed. The bill was ad-
vocated by Messrs. Van Voorhis (Rep.,
o., Johnson (Rep., Ind.), and Brosius
(Rep., Pa.), and antagonized by Messrs-
Walker (Rep., MasS.). e. Cox (Demi
Tenn.), Williams (Dem., Miss.) and Ben
(PoD., Colo.)
Mr.. Walkers speech was generally
an attack upon the national banking
law, which he denounced as one OF the
most blighting acts ever enacted IN TINS
country.
Early in the session bills were passed
to fix and determine the number OF
justices of the supreme court OF Okla
hona. who shall constitute commit
tee OF the bench and to confer upon
postoffice inspectors in the enforcement
of the postal laws, the same powers
as are possessed by marshals and sher-
IFS in the several states.
Conference reports upon the agricui-
tural appropriation bill and upon the
bill for the relief of settlers upon the
Sioux reservation in South Dakota,
were presented and agreed to. The
house voted to recede from its disa-
greement to the senate amendment TO
the army appropriation bill, continu-
ing the operation of the army and
navy hospital at Hot Springs, Ark,
which practically disposes OF that
measure.
The resolution agreed upon today by
the committee on foreign affairs call
ing upon the president for the cor
respondence relating to the arrest and
punishment of American citizens by
the Spanish authorities in Cuba, was
presented by Mr. Hit (Rep., Ills.) and
agreed 20.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Barrett
(Rep., Mass.) Speaker Reed stated that
he would order to be removed from the
permanent record the words in the rec
ord this morning announcing the ar
rival of Mr. Bryan on the floor yester-
day. together with the fact that he
was received with cheers on the Demo-
cratic side.

Mark Hanna's $50 Inauguration
Seats.

New York Sun: Pennsylvania ave-
nue., from Washington circle at Twen-
ty-third street to the capitol at First
street, a distance of about two miles
now looks very much like a Maine
shipyard The erection of grand
stands has been commenced and great
white pine timbers by thousands are
pointing skyward, giving the landscape
in the neishborhood of the avenue q
remarkable effect. The stands are to
be much more substantially built this
year than ever before, and also more
ornate. The presidential reviewing
stand in front of the White House is
to be especially elaborate, and it is
probable that arrangements will be
made for heating it. Opposite thi.
stand, from which the president. the
members of his family, their intimate
friends. and high officials of the gov
eminent will review the procession, a
mammoth stand will be erected extend
ing along the whole front of Lafayette
park. Seats are already being sold for
this stand. which is supposed to be the
most desirable one on the route, and
the first order received was from Mark
A. Hanna, who purchased $50 seats in
the center of the structure immedi-
ately opposite the point where Presi-
dent Mckinley win stand. hat in HAND,
for five hours to receive the salutes of

BUTCHERS SHOW FIGHT.
WILL ATTACK THE PRESENT
LICENSE ORDINANCE.
The Smaller Meat Dealers Claim the
Law is Unjust and That the
Large Dealers Are Not Paying
Their Share of the License-Have
Pooled Interests and Engaged Lee
gal Assistance.

There is an uprising among the
war, but protest against the city's
license ordinance which the meat
vendors claim is grossly unjust. AS a
result of it all a great many of the
smaller meat dealers have pooled in
terests, engaged a prominent firm of
lawyers and will fight any further pay
ment of license to the city.
1t is the smaller retail dealers that
are making the kick. They claim the
larger firms are not paying license in
proportion to the amount of business
they do. The ordinance fixing the
schedule for retail meat dealers is as
follows:
For all retails dealers and traffickers
in meats whose sales amount to $500
or less per month, $50 per year; for
sales over $500 and less than $1,000 per
month, SIS; for sales over $1,000 and
less than $500 per month, 800; for
sales over $500 and less than $1,000
per month, $125; for sales over $4,000
per month, $780,
The small meat dealers confined
principally to the outlying portion of the
city contend that the large dealers who
do thousands of dollars worth of bust
ness every month are paying but little
more license than a few who sell less
than $500 per month. This is unjust,
they hold, and believe that the ordi-
nance in its present shape would be
unconstitutional. Then again the same
people contend that many of the larger
houses are permitted to run without a
license while the small dealer is
rounded up and made to deposit the
required amount as soon as the license
runs out. This charge against the
license. collector is not borne out by the
facts, however. for an examination of
the books at the city treasurer's Of
fees discloses that the delinquents-
what few there are-are not confined
to the large dealers as charged.
What the final outcome will be re-
mains for the future to tell. One thing
is certain-the license ordinance is 60
ing to be attacked and it may receive
1 black.eye.
