MANIsTEE FACTORY BURNS
The Big Brick Structure Only u
MOuthful for Hungry
Fire.

Shortly before o'clock Sunday
morning the East Shore factory
building on the north side Of the
river, and in the heart of the city of
Manistee was discovered on fire, and
soon the large brick structure was
mass of ruins. For some years
the factory has been idle and has
been used as warehouse. Satur-
day evening the steamer Reitz un-
loaded and stored therein cargo
OF hay and feed Originally the
building cost nearly $50, 600, but re-
Gently Dovel g. Nessen purchased
the property for about one-third
that sum. The loss is said to be-
fully covered by insurance
A Houghton dispatch to the De-
troit Evening News says: "There
is big demand for labor in sight
among the mines The iron mines
are raising wages, and must them
selves look for several thousand
more men for next seasons opera
tions. None of the old mines of tho
copper district will work smaller
forces next season than this, and
many will add to the number of en-
ployes, if possible. In addition to
these, the Centennial will work
more men; the various Keweenaw
county properties outside of the Ar
mold will absorb several hundred;
the Mohawk will want 200 or 300;
and Rhode Island hundred or more
the Old Colony perhaps 200; the
Union 100 or upwards; the Baltic
l50 or more; the Winona 200; tho
Adventure, Mass and Michigan 200
to 300 each, and at least 20 other
mines and prospects will have use
for anywhere from 40 to 200 men
each. As nearly as can be figured,
| 1000 to 5000 more men will be
needed by the mines. The building
trades will also require an extra
thousand men next season, and at
the lowest estimate nearly 1000 ad-
ditional workmen will be required
along the copper range in 1899. Day

can be secured, but where are It'd

They Are Busily Engaged In
Cutting Down Forests
in Michigan.
STATE ROBBED EVERY YEAR
The Legislature Will BE Asked
to Remedy the
Evil.

bulletin No 162, issued few days
ago contains among other things a
severe roast on timber thieves,
written by +. E. Skeels. He says:
"The maintenance of our present
forests has two foes to combat, viz,
timber thieves and forest fires, and
destructive as the latter may be and
have been, they must bow in insig-
niticance to the pirates who have
preyed upon the forests Of Michigan
ever since there was for sale any of
the products. 1t may seem broad
assertion, but it is a fact that more
than double the amount of timber is
stolen from state lands annually
than is destroyed by fire.
"The reason for this lies in the
policy pursued in the settlement Of
trespass committed by these van
dals. The state has a good law
which should be enforced against
this class Of people, yet we find that
in the hundreds Of cases of trespass
upon public lands none of the tres
passers have ever been prosecuted.
Why is this? If one of these people
were to go upon the grounds of any
of the state institutions and cut
down and take away tree, or com
nit any other felony, he would be
at once punished as any thief should
be. Yet the same person can tres
pass upon the forest lands Of the
state and run no fear of prosecution
whatever. II caught, he will be
called upon to pay the stumpage
value, which really means that he is
buying timber and paying no taxes.
Few people in the southern por-
tions of our state fully understand
the conditions of this problem.
First, it is almost impossible to i'm
panel jury in the northern coun-
ties, the majority of whose mem
bers have not themselves some day
trespassed upou public lands. Sec
ond, in sparsely settled counties,
the legal talent available for prose
cutting attorney is limited to one or
two persons, who are wholly unable
to successfully cope with the attor'
neys which the trespasser will al
ways employ, and the state is the
loser thereby. Third, the trespas
sers and generally the representa-
tives from these northern districts
raise the plea that these timber
thieves are poor men Of family, who
are starving and are forced to enter
upon these lands and steal to sup
port their families.
"We challenge this statement, fol
in an investigation which has ex
tended over the last four years We
have noted that in nearly every in
stance the trespasser was man wht
had a good bank account, and wa:
not forced to steal for living, bu'
finding it lucrative business with
no risks or taxes, kept at it. He il
still at it and still will be until more
stringen. measures are taken Il
stop this business, or until th'
grand old state of Michigan has no
tree left for him to steal. Oul
suggestions, then, as to the main
tenance of our present forest areas
are entirely along the lines OF legis
lation. We can do nothing will
public property without laws
governing the same-.laws which arr
so plain and concise that there cal
be no quibbling or doubt as to theil
meaning"

THE TRAVELLING LIBRARY.

Like all desirable innovations the
 travelling library scheme has spread into the west wh3re, as in New York, New Jersey, and Michigan, it is receiv- ing state aid. Iowa is one of the latest to make the experiment, and after a six months trial the state librarian says that the demands for it are so exten- sive, that the state will be obliged eith- CT to provide about 1000 mere travel ing libraries or organize a library com mission which shall stimulate in com munities the ambition to possess li- braIies of their own.'' The extraordi- nary favor with which the travelling H- brary has been received has been so gratifying that the friends of the move ment and thoss who have assisted in developing it are urging that it's scope shall be broadened, and that the wants Of individuals shall be considered. At present each library consists of fifty volumes, selected with the idea Of their adaDtability to the wants of a comm l. nity. Nearly every collection contacns great variety of books and but few of any one class. The state librarian has received many letters from school men and students, and especially from women's clubs in all parts of the state, asking if inc cannot supply books along certain lines of study This he thinks the travelling library should do, and tae beard of trustees has authorized him to meet this demand so f2i as practi- cable.
 The American is a great nation of readers, and after 9 few years of the traFeling library it will become a na- tion of book owners.

FIRST MEANING OF WORDS.

The history of many words Wh ch we
 are continually using. Little thinkiD g l how old and venerable they are and
 what they meant originally. is ye y curious.
 Take the word "GaUghte-," this is
 an old, cid word. Like father and mcthsr. brother and sister, it takes US away back to a long time tet tc.e the~e
 was an English-speakirg people CT q German people, before even the Ro- mans CT Greeks had become distinctive and separate peoples and while oar f0refathers were still simply 'Aryars ' living somewhere in the hsart Of Asia.
 The Germans as wsH 5B we use th.s word. but they spell and pronounce it "tCchter" The ancient Greeks. who were likewise "Aryans," used i. t-o but they gave ft still anot1or prCnun- c.ation-'"t "thugat5r' the an cisnt Hindccs, who came als3 of this gc0d old Aryan stock, pronounced it 'duitar."
 Now. the old Hindoo language is in many particulars more nearly like the original Aryan ,cngue than a1y ether Of the languages descended from i5, and it has enabled scho-a1s to exp ain very many words Of which the men ing could hardly have otherwise be- n guessed. Daughter is one cf thsm. This word seems to Lswa msart orig inally ''rni1lzer." Our fc-efathers in that long ago were hsrdsmen and e7erJ daughter was 2 mi}kmaid.
 Another word whid-l takes us back to scenes Of rus.ic life, though net sJ old a ward as daugh5cr, is the wo-d 'pecunisry." We use this word in re lation tc money matters. It came from the Latin word pecunia, which means money. This word, in it's turn, came from peeus, a flCck or herd Cf cattle. IL brings before Us, therefore, very plainly a state of society in when there were nsither silver dollars n-r geld dollars but when the s.an5a, q Of 7alua" was an cx.
 When 2, child is seaR to capcr, CT to ''cut capers," we hardly think cf the child as acting like a goat; yet that, Ii language is to be credited, is exac 1y what he is doing, fC~ caper $ the Latin word for goat. A perscn who is esp ricious also acts in a' 6gurative way liIza a goat; he skips, like a goat, from one whim to anOt5er, and we never know where we shall find him

YOUNG HERDS BRAVE DEED.

4 story comes from PerigueuX, and is related by the I.ondCn Mails Paris
 correspondent Of a most heroic action
 cn the part of q boy of 15, one Gaston Desjean, employed in nickeling fac tory in that town. Desjean was work
 ing with another boy Of his own age, Marcel Jeanv0inc, mar the machinery. Je2nvoine slipped and fell up against the machine, which caught his clothes and dragged him up against the shaft of the engine. In Q few moments he
 would have been crushed to death, but Desjsan jumped onto the fywheel. seized it with both hands, and succeed ed in stopping the machine for suff1- cient time to allow his conlrade to be extricated. He effected this by hold ing onto the straps, which were thus made to serve as 2 brake, and which cut his hands severely but saved his friends life. The scene in the factory was most dramatic, men and women crowding around the little hero and weeping over him. Jeanvoine's mother, who is also employed in the same fac tory and witnessed the whole. scene, fainted from mingled terror and joy. Little Gaston Dasje3n gained gold medal eighteen months ago for having saved another boy from drowning in the Rivec Isle, which runs through Perigu6UG.

DANGER IN KISSING.

The board of health of Psssaic, N. J.
 has just made, an attack upon personal liberty that will no doubt be met with
 strenuous opposition. The board has
 declared that the prevalence Of the grip
 suggests the advisabiIity of stepping
 all kissing until the grip germs disap-
 pear, the disease being sDr,ad by oscu-
 lation. The Passaic policemen have
 been directed to warn persons of the
 dangers of kissing, and all classes and
 conditions of people" are to be asked ! to restrict their kisses to these thrown frcm the tips of the fingers.
 As a measure of health and in con- formity with the established rules oi hygiene the Passaic board is right. At the same time there VII be many brave maidens and dauntless young men who will not be deterred and the usual amount of kissing may be expected to go On under coyer of darkness or away from the gaze of the multitude. Kiss ing is infectious in itself, but when it is fraught with grip it is really time to announce an armiStice. There are. we imagine, in the old town of Passaic, young men and young women who would prefer to take their chances with grip rather than forsgo th9 pleasure of kissing. Then there are the emotional m2idens wno peck at each other with their lips whenever they meet, for the lack of something to say. They cer- tainly cannot be induced to simply shake hands and let the greeting of a friend go at that. The board of health has simply done it's duty in the prem ises and the kissers who gather in grip germs by disregarding the injunction just served will have to take their chances. Kissing, however, is hard thing to regulate by law.
 Upon the theory that grip is spread | by kissing, we fancy that Lieutenant HcbsOn has recently taken more des- 1erate chances in the west than he took | in the harbor Of Santiago. According Q the newspaper reports the once mod est and retiring lieutenant has kissed | ] regiment Of girls and now explains | hat they were only little girls. At the same time the lieutenant should re- that the grip is most virulent taong the young.

sati9n in the school for 8 time, thougt the matter never seriously affected the standing of the student When | Thomas H. Benton came to Missouri this story followed him. Later on
 when the young politician and Mr. Lu-
 cas became rivals the latter referred tC the academy incident in his paper, the | Argus. To emphasize the insult the | paper printed 8 cut of MT. Benton, rep
 resenting him as wearing a continental
 bill for 8 necktie. This attack, the nephew says, provoked the. duel in which Lucas lost his life.
 1 Respecting the duel between the Ben tons and General Jackson and two of
 his friends, at Nashville, Tenn, there has always been much misreprescn cnUa- ton, this same party says. The princi- pals in the Nashville duel on this side were Thomas H. and his brother Jesse, 9 negro man playing an important part in the affair.
 Colonel Benton and General Jackson had become estranged during the Creek war, the former feeling that the future hero of New Orleans had sought to prevent his military advancement by keeping him ont Of some important battles. Meddlesonne parties fannad the fire of enmity between the soldiers till
 
 to settle the strife according to the ideas of prCpristy in those days.
 The two Benton5 went to Jackson's hotel, in Nashville. to demand satisfac- ton. 4 negro man w5nt along, carry ing a pair of saddlebags, filled with dueling pistols. Jackson and his friends appeared on the hotel porch, armed fer battle. The duel began with cut much formality. The Bentons fired their pistols, each 8 single-barrel weapon, according to the fashion of such shooting irons at the time, and the negro man handed out another pair. Jackson and his friend returned the fire and the fight went on for some time. General Jackson WAS shot in the arm. It was 2 tradition in the Ben ton family that the negro man fired 9 shot or two, and 9 suspicion existed that he inflicted the wound that in af- ter years gave the great warrior 50 much pain.

 The prisoner pleaded guilty to the complaint of Acolia but was acquitted upon that of Pa1dolfno. Tn passing sentence Justice Jerome said:
 Tt is evident that this woman has maintained herself in comparative lux ury by playing upon the superstitions and eredulity Of the poor Italians Of the uppsr East side. Though her of fense is trivial from 9 leSa1 or medical standpoint, we cannot countensnce the practice of the black arts of mediavol times''

PANroLF1No's Cosr1r LOVE.
Spent $16 for Charms and Still the Cir
 Gave Him the Marble Heart.

r. Signora Angelina Giglio, a profes- sional hyplOtiSt and cIairvOyant Of POP
 First avenue was arraigned for trial in the court of special sessions yesterday charged with practicing medicine ille- gally She was held by Magistrate Simms, in the Harlem police court, on November IT, on charges brought by Pietro Pand0lfno of 301 East One Hun dred and Seventh street and Antonio Acolia Of 594 East One Hundred and Fiftieth street.
 According to the story told by Pan dolfno he first saw Signora Giglio at Ccney island during the summer. There
 she told fortunes and gave spiritualis-
 tic seances. On November 4, Pardo1-
 fine said Ee visited the clairvoyant at
 her home to obtain medicine which
 would help him to win the love Cf an It.
 allan Of whom he was very fond. He
 told Signora Giglio that the girl had
 refused to have anything to do with
 him because he was already married. The cIairvoyant gave Pandolfno q bot tie filled with light green liquid She instructed him to pour it into the East river Cn the first Sunday night of the crescent moon. For this medicine, he said, he paid the woman $1.
 When this libation failed to win for him the love for which he longed, Pan dol1no returned to Signora Giglio, who made for him Q small bag Of red cloth, which she filled With love powder. Then she sewsd the bag inside of his waist coat next his hear. She instructed him to count nine before retiring at night and after getting up in the morn ing, promising him that net only would the heart Of the girl he loved lodge it. self in the red bag. but that his wife would run away with another man. Pandofdnc said he paid the clairvoy- ant S15 for the red b3g.
 Finally he became alarmed by the belief that his wife would leave him and he taxed her with infdelity She in turn investigated her husbands re- lations with Signora Giglio, and, 1t IS alleged, took from him the red bag and
