A New Industry.

The problem af low to utilize the
vast Quantities of mesquite beans that
grow on the prairies of the southwe st
has, it is believed, bsen so we'd. NJ.
m rous experiments at converting the
bean into marketable commodity
have been made in recent years, but
have been productive of no permanent
results. A. j. Conlev, manager of the
Luline cotton Gil mill, believes he has
solved the problem. He had gathered
a ton of mesquite beans and treated
them n the same manner as cotton
seed. From the ton of beans he Sc
cured 161 gallons of clear, amber col
ored oil, very rich and wi h very
pleasant, aromatic smell. The cake is
dark brown, quite oilv, and is eaten
Rreedily by stock. 1t Is we'll known
fact that stock fatten rapidly on the
beans, and that the year when the
crop Ia heavy one Is always pros
porous one for ST. ckmen. This year
the beans are very plentiful, thou
sands of tons of them falling from the
trees and roofing. II they could be

TOWN Os BISMARCK
 SWEPT BY FIRE.
Block After Block Consumed Before the Flames Could Be Checked, and the
 Loss Is Very Heavy.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 10.-Fire de- stroyed the best portion of the city of Bismarck late Monday, licking up hun dreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. The flames originated in the agents office of the Nothcrn Pacific de- pot. Almost before they were diseov- cred the entire building and the i'm mense warehouse of the company were in flames. Oils and powder contributed fuel, and before the flames could be checked they had spread to the block of brick buildings across the alley.
 The flames then leaped the street to the magnificent First National bank building which melted away i'll few minutes. The Central Block followed and the flames spread to the post office, sweeping over the entire block and car rying down the postof1ce, Merchants bank block, Griffin block and all the in- termediate frame and brick structures. The fire then spread across and devour- ed Kupit's store and the greater part of the block. The flames also spread north into residence block and completely destroyed it. Bremen were powerless to check the inroads of the fire, which spread to scores of buildings, licking them up as so much waste paper.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, as no one was i'll the freight office when 1t started. Itis impossible to estimate the loss. All wires are burned out, the Western Union office being the first to go. The railroad office also was de. stroyed.
 Among the buildings destroyed were the Tribune Publishing company, the First National bank, the postoffice, The Review office, the Northern Pacific of fees, baggage and express offices and freight warehouse, Melons bank, Boucher 8 Philbrick, every drug store in the city, all the groceries but two or three, all newspaper offices, restaurants, etc, and the great bulk of the business portion of the city, with several blocks of residence.

Denison, Tex, Aug. 10.--On account of the regulators making an effort to run colored people out of Bells, growing out of some trouble between section men, the Katy has removed the north section at Bells from Bells to Norton, five miles north, and the section is now worked south from that place. The section gang that was located at Bells has been re- moved to Whitewright and the section is worked north from that place. The negroes on the sectious would not work and live in Bells. It is feared by some of the white people in the Bells com munity that the trouble is not yet all over between the whites and blacks.

THE BoURGoGNE WRECK.

John Snow Ks of the Belief Many of the
 Victims Could Have Been Saved.
 New York, Aug. 1o-A dispatch to The World from Halifax, N. S., says:
 Undertaken John Snow, who accom- panied the Hiawatha on her mission in search of bodies of victims of the Bourgogne disaster, states that some of the bodies showed evidence of having been alive in the water for two days at least, and that the body of one woman showed that she must have lived four days after the sinking of the ship.
 Many of the victims, he thinks, caught pieces of wreokage and other wood and their lives gradually ebbed away in the vain hope of being rescued.
 Snow thinks if the French line com- pany had immediately sent out vessel from Halifax on receipt of the news, some of the unfortunates could have been rescued alive.

NOTED BEAUTY EXPELLED.

All Paris has talked much about the
fact that Mrs Ogden Goelet had Liane
De Paugy expelled from hotel in
Hamburg. De Psugy is an important
parsonage in Paris, and her fame ex-
tends throughout all Europe. She is an
actress and celebrated as beauty. For
liant world which makes laws unto 1t.
self, and among her votsries are men
OF great wealth and position.
Mile. De Paugy is used 10 having her
own way. Had any of her friends in
Paris been told that an American wo-
man, DO matter how high her social po-
sition or great her wealth, could bave
succeeded in having the actress expelled
from summer hotel, particularly in
Hamburg, they would have secuted the
suggestion.
OF course Mrs. Goelet has not dis,
cussed the incident. Naturally she
would not be drawn into controversy
with Mile. De Paugy. But the Figaro,
the Gaulois and other Paris papers give
-nanv columns 10 the incident.
Mile. De Paugy says that Mrs. Goelet
cal SD her to be most severely humilia-
ed. II had done nothing, mark you,
uol nil g" she writes. "My conduct
lud been more proper and reserved
han that of any other woman in Ham
burg.
My reputation was alleged-I am
actress aud all that, of course. But
What OF it? Are the guests of hotel to
b. answerable for their, past, present and
u;ure?
The whole trouble between Mrs.
Goelet and myself came about in this
wy: When / first arrived in Hamburg
| went to the Ritter's Park Hotel and
engaged the suite OF room just vacated
by Mrs. Mackay, of New York. They
we're the best in the hotel. Mrs. Goe-
let, who arrived shortly after | did,
was compelled to 90 into rather
modest quarters floor or two above
mine, because OF the scarcity of accom-.
modations.
Apparently she deemed it imperti-
nent of me to decline the overtures she
made through the manager to exchange
apartments. She began campaign
.eainst me. She had tried to get the
Ritter's Park Hotel management to
invite me out, suggesting as plausible
petext that shs had engaged Mrs.
Mackay's suite by telegraph, and that
1t bad been given me by mistake.
II knew this was not true, and so 1
rebelled vigorously. My good chums,
the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Ouslow
and Prince Henri d'Orleans, protested
20 sharply in my behalf that the hotel
people did not dare to press the point
The climax of Mrs. Goelet's rage
was reached, am told, when she &C.
tually summoned up enough courage
10 speak in defense of my position and
finally to declare that she thought l
was the most beautiful woman in Ham
burg, the most elegant, simple, ETC."
Then Mile. De Paugy, being fully
conscious of the dramatic possibilities
of the situation, says that Mrs. Goelet
fnallyprevailed upon the manager ofthe
hotel to suggest to Mile. De Paugy that
she tind shelter elsewhere. The actress
declared that the American threatened
20 ruin the hotel by withdrawing her
own patronage and that of American
travellers. And Mile. De Paugy wants
to know if this is the much-vaunted
American spirit of fair play.
