The Calks are screwed into the shoe and
removed at pleasure. They are quite as
firm and strong as the old style of calk and
last as long under the same conditions The
shoe having been put on by the blacksmith
you can renew the calks yourself when
needed with the wrench made especially for
the purpose. 1t is no trouble; you can
change a whole set in twenty minutes.
You thus keep the shoe continually off the
ground and it wears three times as long as
the old shoe. You save time, trouble and
direct expense. Your horse is always sharp
shod with all that fact implies. From the
beginning to the end of the winter You can
use your horse daily and never visit the

liable advices received from Iloilo, cap
ital of the island of Panay, in the
Visayas group, the insurgents attacked
Iloilo on the night of December 1st and
captured all the Spanish trenches ex-

When these advices left Iloilo Cen
eral Rios was expecting reinforcements
and field guns, and the plan was for the
Spanish gunboats to shell the town if
the insurgents effected an entrance. The
foreign residents We're greatly alarmed,
and all merchantmen have been or

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Sunday
death list in New York and vicinity

ran the gamut from suicide to murder.
The most spectacular tragedy Of the
day occurred on the Speedway. Thou

James Mcdonald, a prominent Tam
many man and one of the best-known
horsemen in the city, was taken to the
hospital where he died afterwari
Mcdonald had taken fast horse to
the Speedway and had been challenged
by friend to a test of speed. The
horses went along at furious pace
with the thousands Of spectators ap-
plauding the brush. Then, with a
mighty effort, McDonald's horse took
the bit and with a defiant toss of his
head, shot to the front. Two blocks
ahead the Speedway was impossible
to the flyers and Mcdonald, realizing
this, stood up in his rig and, dropping
one rein gave the other mighty jerk.
He threw his horse, killing it, and him
self was pitched high into the air. fall

TWENTY BLOCKS FLOODED.
A Four-Foot Water Main Bursted
in Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-For several
hours to-day an area of twenty blocks
in the Twenty eighth Ward in Brooklyn
was inundated by raging waters, which
washed out the foundations of houses,
tore down trolley and telegraph poles,
imprisoned people in their houses, and
nearly drowned some who were caught
by the flood The damage will reach
several hundred thousand dollars-the
police think 500 900.

circumference. For the first hour j, ,5OO,-
0O0 gallons, it is estimated. rushed

came so suddenly that several persons
were caught, and three were rescued
by life lines. Every house in the twen
ty blocks was flooded, and number of
them were so badly damaged that they
will fall If they are not pulled down.
Hundreds of others were damaged so
badly that it will be a costly matter to
repair them.

TO MANAGE THE GIANTS.
John b. Day Has Been Selected to
Do So.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The Herald
says: John B. Day, formerly owner Of
the New York baseball club at the hight
Of its success. has been secured as man.
ager Of the Giants for next year. Such
was the announcement made yesterday
by Andrew Freedman, president of the
New York club Mr. Freedman fur
ther said that Amos Rusie and Jouett
Meekin, who for years have been con-
sidered the main strength of the team
In this city, and William Gleason. Sec
ond baseman, are on the market to be
sold or exchanged for other players
equally skillful.
Mr.. Freedman said last night: 1.-The
New York Club has secured new man
ager, who will have entire control of
the team. We intend to intrust the
management Of the playing end of the
club to John B. Day. We propose to
make him director Of the club and
let him have entire charge. / want to
be relieved of the trouble that arises
from looking after the playing end Of
the club, and shall do all can to make
Mr.. Days management successful He
will have all the credit for any success
that the team may attain, and must be
responsible partly for any other state of
affairs.
I'VE are satisfied that a number of
players have been on the New York
team too long. They have never been
desirous Of doing more than holding
their positions on account of being
drawing stars. We intend to get others
who will play for the success Of the
team. The announcement is now made
that Rusies Meekin and Gleason are on
the market. and either will be sold or
traded for other players equally strong.
And there are others.
"As regards the players Of the team,
we have signed such as will su ely rep
resent the club next year We will
have a strong team and radical meas
ure for the clubs rights will ',e en-
forced. Players who do not like TO
work and are mere shirkers mus, look
for places in other teams. There were
factions that sprung up in the team last
year-certain men did not support GER
tain pitchers, certain players were de-
linquent in their work and the public
had good, fair example Of skill"

Diamond Saws for Stone.

The use Of the diamond saw for cut
ting stone is facilitating the erection
of the buildings for the exhibition of
1900 at Paris This new circular saw
is due to Felix Fromholt, Partisan
engineer. The diamonds which form
the cutting teeth Of the saw are COM
mon crystals, worth about 10 shillings
a carat, and they are fixed in a steel
disk over six feet in diameter. which
is mounted on a spindle. and revolved
by steam power like an ordinary cir
cular saw For saving hard stones
there are 200 diamonds In the cutting
edge, and the speed is 800 turns
minute It advances into the stone
about a foot in that time For soft
stones the teeth are of STEEL with dia-
monds at intervals Of every five teeth,
and at a speed of twelve turns a min
ute the saw advances about yard in
that time.
The new saw has been at work in
the workshops of the Champs Elysees
for several months. and has given
every satisfaction. 1t cuts and dresses
the stone on all sides and gives it
sharp outlines. Moreover, it does so
hand labor. A saw of this kind with
an alternative movement. saving
stones four to six feet high, is to be
set up. Evidently this new instrument
has future before it. and may be
recommended to the attention Of stone
cutters in this country, especially the
granite workers Of Scotland - London

wARK RETRIEVED.
Public Sentiment Declared Him In
nocent of Murder.

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Lieutenant Wark
of the Royal Artillery. who on Thurs
day was sentenced to death on the
charge of numbering Miss Jane Yates
of Liverpool, girl of family, by con-
spring with her to procure an illegal
operation which resulted in her death,
has been reprieved.
The evidence in the case tended to
show that the girl was solely respon-
sible She made a statement before she
died, generating Wark, who, after the
jury had returned a verdict of guilty,
protested his innocence in open court.
Wark, who is an Irishman, is 46 years
of age and married. He enlisted as a
private about thirty years ago, and
rendered distinguished service in the
Afghan war. He met Miss Yates while
he was stationed at Liverpool. The
witnesses for the defense showed that
Wark tried to persuade her not to un-
dergo the operation, but on her insist
ing he promised to stand by her. The
scene In which he protested his inno-
cence was highly dramatic, and was
followed by an extraordinary demon
stration against the trial Judge when
the latter left the court. The news

OF an amusing story of taciturnity and
simplicity. The "Cornhil Magazine
relates that during his connection with

north belonging to the college One
of the leading tenants was deputed to
take him round. long tramp they
had in the course of which DR.. Jowett
uttered not a word, while the farmer
was too much stricken with awe to

was almost done the professor was
reused to speech. Looking over a stone
wall to goodly field Of vivid green, he
abruptly said, Fine potatoes" Quoth

Saved From Drowning Only to Die
From Cold and Exposure.
PORT TOWNSEND (Wash.), Dec. II.
Passengers of the steamer Farallon
which arrived here from Skaguay to-
night, tell story of the remarkable
escape from drowning and subsequent
death of John Hicks, who was a pas
senger on the steamer Utopia, which
caught fire while on her way from Sc
attic to Skaguay November 18th. Dur
ing the excitement Hicks jumped over
board and it was thought he had
drowned. 1t appears, however, that
Hicks managed to get on the bottom
Of a capsized life boat and drifted about
twenty-four hours before the boat went
ashore on Kake Island.
Cold and numb, Hicks wandered
about on the island in search Of a habi-
tation for eight days, living on what
ever herbs he could find. Becoming
exhausted he made his way to the
beach where he lay down to die. Short
ly afterward a canoe with several In
dians came along, picked him up and
took him to the village and turned him
over to Rev. DR.. Moon, a missionary
who did everything in his power for the
unfortunate man, who got better. Rev.
Moon started with him in canoe to
Wrangel, but he died en- route and his
body was buried on the beach.
