They still had their arms, while the
soldier before mentioned was walking
as sentry, guarding the prisoners he had
surrounded all by himself. ! halted the
sentinel, received the swords from the
commissioned officers, and proceeded
with the assistance of the soldiers now
with me, to disable the muskets by
striking them against the edge of the
wall, and throw them to the ground
below"
The Wayfarer does not wish to cast
discredit or doubt upon the story ap,
pearing in our contemporary, for it is
just barely possible that the sentinel
alluded to by General Grant may after
wards have become a member of Mayor
Whiteley's police force and pursued
the same old Chapultepec tactics in this
city.

who lives near the church called on the
pastor and said:
Brother Jones, that OIL brindie
heifer Of mine has strayed on, an
CANT fin her nowhar. I've axed all the
nigh neighbors, but none Of them has
seen her, and my wife allows that she's
got purity well back in the country by
this time. an that I'd better git you to
announce hit frum the pulpit on Sun
day. Hits mighty easy to tell her,
case she's only got one horn. an her
lef' ears all chawed off by that shep-
herd dog Of mine. There haint an
uther heifer like her in Sussex county.
"All right, I'll make the announce
ment," said the pastor, taking out his
book and jotting down a memorandum.
Sunday came and with it a large
crowd Of worshippers Announcements
were usually made just before the
preaching of the sermon, and among
those present and most interested was
the deaf old farmer who had lost his
brindle heifer.
Brothers and sisters said the pas
tor advancing to the front Of the pull
pit, "it is my pleasure to-day to an
nounce to you that in this edifice on
next Thursday evening the wedding Of
Miss Anna Simpkns and Albert Will
knson will be eolemnized. For the
past eleven years Brother Wilkinson
has been the capable superintendent of
our Sunday school, as we'll as the lead
er Of our Bible class. and he is so well
known to you by his good works that
il is scarcely necessary for me to tell
you much about him. 1t is my hope
you will all be present to witness the
ceremony as an evidence of your appre-
citation OF services rendered ungrud-
ingly in behalf of the church. Sister
Simpkins is, as you know, the first So
pranO in our choir For five years she
has held that responsible position. In
addition to being a beautiful singer
she is one of the most lovely women
that ] ever met. and will no donhi
make Brother Wilkinson a most agr, e.
able life companion"
At this juncture the deaf old farmer
arose and said:
And Brother Jones, while you arc
about 1t. you might as well tell then
that in addition to having one horr
gone and her left ear chawed off by my
shepherd dog, she busted four ribs an
her him leg got kinder twisted Gutter

The ohurch's usefulness was destroy

was noticed that during the singing O.

kins was not possessed of its accus

tervals by tremulous sobs.

Gently raised the laugh on herself in

Those near her overheard the remark

SUICIDE AT BERLIN STATION.

Miss Elizabeth Bosworth Cremates
 Herself in Her Brothers Hen House.
 Hartford, March 21.-The quiet that usually reigns at Berlin Station was broken this morning, when the news was passed around that Miss Eliza beth Bosworth had committed suicide by burning a building around her. It seems that she and her brother have bad number of disputes about ex- penses, she having a mania for econo- my. The latest subject was hen house that lie was building. Yesterday, they had discussion about it, and she said she would kill herself. Shc took something out of bottle, but it had no effect. This morning, Bosworth left the house about g o'clock, and his sis ter again said she would commit sui eide. As soon as he was gone she took an oil-can, sprin1lled oil over the much discussed hen house and set fire to it. The neighbors saw the fire, but did not know that she was inside until too late. When discovered she was dead and her body was badly charred. She was about sixty years of age.

Later on he found the little ball of silk on the floor and noticed the brilliant appear ance of the threads.

RAILROADS TO KLONDIKE.-A rail-
road building race, involving the ex-
penditure of S16,000,000, has been
commenced by two wealthy corpora
tions, each of which desire to own the
first railroad into the Yukon country.
Each will be about 400 miles long,
running from Pyramid, near the head
of the Lynn canal, to points on Lewis
river, below Five Finger Rapids.
The companies back of the railroad
projects are the London company and
the Yukon company, organized last
summer by Andrew F. Burleigh, the
principal stockholders Of which are
Philadelphia and New York men.
Both corporations have surveyors and
engineers at work between Pyramid
harbor and the Lewis river. The pro-
iectors of both roads figure on an aver
age cost of $4,000 a mile, requiring
an outlay of over sS,OOO,Ooo for each
road.
The equipment of each will cost
about S1,000,O00 more. Both compa-
nies have secured the right of way
from the Canadian government and
are now working to secure from con-
gress necessary rights of way through
80 miles of American territory.

WASHINGTON WELL FORTIFIED.

In view of the fact that the national
capital was once taken and burned by
foreign enemy, it is reassuring to
know that a calamity SO humiliating
is not likely to occur again, even in
case of sudden war.
Washington is the best defended
city in the country. A hostile feet
could not now ascend the Potomac, as
was done in 1914, when President
Madison and his wife were compelled
to make hurried escape across the
Potomac to avoid capture by the Brit
ish.
For military and prudential reasons
little has been allowed to be made
known concerning the new works and
the heavy ordnance recently installed
below the city; but for the past two
years engineers have been busy at the
river forts. Some very formidable
guns are now in position there, and a
system of torpedo defences perfected
which would render the approach of
an enemy's war ships within ~ miles
of Washington, practically impossible.
The defensive works are located at
the "elbow," or turn, of the Potomac
where old Forts Washington and Sher-
idan stood, and where at one point the
channel for vessels of deep draught is
but three hundred yards wide.
The guns are protected on the wa
ter side by emplacement walls of stone
and concrete 70 feet thick, and on the
land side by redoubts for infantry.
The rapidly increasing wealth and
Importance of Washington, the grand
new public buildings and the vast
sums of money and bullion in the
treasury render these protective and
defensive measures a matter of ma
tional Importance and necessity.

How SLATE PENCILS ARE MADE
Slate pencils undergo a number O
processes before they are ready fo1
use, and in making them nearly all o
the manual labor is done by boys
First broken pieces of slate are pu
into mortar run by steam and are
crushed to a powder, which is ther
bolted in a machine such as is used il
Touring mills. A fine slate -four re
suits, which is thoroughly mixed in {
large tub with steatite flour and Other
materials, the whole making stiff
dough. The dough is kneaded by be-
ing passed between iron rollers mum
ber of times, and it is then taken to 6
table, where it is made into short cyl
inders four or five inches in thickness
and containing from eight to ter
pounds of material each.
Four of these cylinders are placed
in strong iron retort which has
changeable nozzle so that the size o.
the pencils may be regulated. In the
retort the material is subjected tc
great hydraulic pressure, and is thus
pushed through the nozzle in the shape
of long cord. AS the cord comes
through the nozzle it passes over q
knife, and is cut into the desired
lengths. The lengths are laid On
boards to dry, and are then placed on
sheets of corrugated zinc, the CORFU
CATION preventing the pencils from
warping during the baking process
The baking is done in a kiln into
which superheated steam is passed
through pipes.
The pencils 60 from the kiln to the
finishing and packing room, where the
ends are held for an instant under 8
rapidly revolving emery wheel, which
neatly points them.
Finally they are packed in paste.
board boxes, one hundred pencils in
each box, then one hundred of the
pasteboard boxes are packed in 8
wooden box, and they are ready fol
shipment.
