Gen. John NJ. Wilson, chief of engineers,

also to Key West, for the purpose of in

As chief Of engineers. Gen. Wilson is in

Consequently his visit to Florida at this

that he has gone south on an ordinary tour

little discussion Of general interest was

brought into the controversy the old fish
cries question on the New England coast,
which has been pending between the
United States and Great Britain for q
hundred years. The statement was made
on the floor of the Senate that there was
every reason to believe that by the pass
age of the bill the fisheries question could
be settled without great effort, as assur-
ances to that effect had been received from
q large and influential element in Canada
The bill was passed without division.

AS BAD AS THE APACHES.
Massacre of Postmaster Baker and
Family at Lake City, s. C.


Family at Lake City, s. c.
Postmaster General Gary has given out
a statement regarding the Baker tragedy
at Lake City, S. c. Included in the state
ment is the following brief story of the
widow Of the murdered postmaster. "The
family was awakened some time in the
early morning by the smell of fire and
smoke and upon rising found that the
house was in flames. Baker attempted to
extinguish the fire, but soon discovered
that this would be impossible. He then
told his wife he would go to the door and
call for help. AS soon as he opened the
Goor the firing began. and a storm of bull
lets struck The door and house. Mrs. Ba-
ker said that her husband then fell on
mis- knees and prayed for protection. The
heat and smoke became so unbearable al
length that they could no longer remain
in the house. On again appearing at the
door they were greeted with another vol
ley Of bullets.
THE first one Of the family to be killed
was the baby in its mothers arms, a bull
let striking it in the side. Mrs. Baker
saw the wound and told her husband that
the baby was killed. A second later he
fell back against ner dead. She and the
other children were struck by the bullets
at this time or just as they escaped from

than one hundred and sixty seven
times. The demand for it has come
from all parts of the country, and
1T has also been erected in other lands.
One might find its fac-simile in the
utter1nost parts of the earth. 1t will
be seen that the house is an attractive
one, but its success is not due to this
part alone. Many houses are just as
pretty and as home-like in design, but
have nothing like such a-recOrd for du-
pication. Those who have purchased
the plan give us the reason for their
choice that it Is an unusually large and
roomy house for it's cost. A careful
examination of the plans will show
that every inch Of space has been made
available. In especial, there are many
bed chambers, and all are well located
for light, ventilation and comfort.
If man has plenty of money to ex-
pend in the erection of a villa house, he
can afford to indulge his individual
taste. He can make his house reflect
his own personal whims and prefer
ences. But when his means are limited
he naturally seeks most for his money,
and to him 1t Is the best Endorsement
of the accompanying plan that it has
found acceptance as many as one hun
dred and sixty-seven times. AS long as
1t Is different from his neighbours

,ngs, it makes no difference to him IL
It has been erected in many other

Of plans. 1t proves that human nature

A DESTROYER.

Emperor William Is claiming credit
for the invention of new war machine
called a "battle-line destroyer" 1t is
a sort Of motor car of thick steel, with
portfolios for machine guns, and in it
are dozen soldiers, who are thus pro-
tected from the enemy. The machine
is to charge right down into the enc
my's line, firing volley after svolley as
it goes, and, Of course, rendering cav
airy unnecessary. 1t will NOW down
the foe as 1t charges them, and few
dozen ought to be sufficient to ami
hilate an entire army, if not blown ND
or stopped by fallen tree or ditch,
and If the enemy provides easy roads
for their approach. 1t Is hardly neces-
sary to add that the Emperor's inve1l-
ton Is merely the war chariot of the
ancients in modern dress, and that it
has been talked Of and condemned by
practical military men for years.-New
York Tribune.

A clever scheme in the way Of an cleo
trio lamp for bicycles has been de-
signed by Syracuse locksmith named
T.. G. Brewer. Inside an ordinary BIZ
cycle lamp he has placed tiny mean
descent lamp Of one-half candle-power
The lens in the lamp magnifies this 20
FIVE candle power, giving light of in
tense brilliancy.
The current for the lamp is furnished
by small dynamo, which is fastened
to the rear forks by means Of a clamp.
The power for the dynamo Is generated
by a small rubber wheel fastened at
the bottom of the dynamo, and which
plays against the rear tire. The wires
conveying the current to the lamp are
strung through the tubing. A current
Of four volts can be generated when the
wheel Is fairly in motion. In the day
time the power generated for the lamp
is switched off and used to ring a small
bell. Simply pressing button in the
handle bar sets up great whir and
whiz. Mr.. Brewer has several i'm
provements In view, and when these
are carried out the lamp will be placed
on the market.

Webster and His Herd.

When Falstaff was dying, so the
hostess reported, "He babbled Of green
fields" Was it "Reminiscences of the
Twenty-third Psalm-he lost his voice
with halloing and singing of an
thems"-or reminescence of his boy
hood? The touch of death often wipes
out what has interviewed between an
old mans youth and his departure,
making him boy again. Daniel Web
ster was brought up on i farm, and his
ideal of life always was that of an En-
glish squire living on his broad acres
farmed by joyous tenantry, and sur
rounded by choice breeds Of sheep and
cattle. When he was smitten by death
the old love swayed him. Says the
Chicago Chronicle:
An aged husbandman at Marshfed,
Mass, who remembers Daniel Web
ster in his latter days very well, has
given some one a very interesting rem
iniscence of the statesman as an agri-
culturist, and incidentally drawn a
touching picture of his farewell to the
acres and the possessions he loved so
we'll.
Webster, according to this ancient
loved every tree and flower on the
place. He knew all the stock, and
could tell the name Of every animal up
ON the farm. He was an enthusiastic
breeder, and a fine judge Of everything
pertaining to farm life and live stock,
although he never made financial sue
cess of them.
When the end came, and every one,
including himself, realized that he had
but a few more days to live, he ordered
the relater of this incident to drive up
to the farmhouse all the stock, two by
two, and there he reviewed them, pass
ing his hand lovingly over the smooth,
glossy coats and patting their TANKS
affectionately.
When the last had gone by, he turned
with a sigh into the house, giving one
longing look behind, and never spoke Oh
them again. Unconsciously the old
farmer has given here picture worthy
of painter Or poet.

BISCUITS KILLING INDIANS
Piute Braves Dying of Indigestion
Through Eating Sa1eratus Cakes.

Through Eating Sa1eratus Cakes.
Nevada, with its $4,000 white inhabi-
tants, is threatened with even shrink
age among it's Indians, all of which
can be traced to the baneful effects of
the saleratuS biscuit. When LO discov-
cred that he could get quart of flour
to puff up and look palatable by toss
ing spoonful of saleratus In the dough
he at once began operations on those
lines, and hot bread was served three
times a day or more, instead Of the
healthier, but less palatable acorn
cracker. The squaw caught the idea Of
her bucks civilized appetite and stuffed
him full of hot biscuit as he lay In his
tepee and absorbed what he supposed
was a delicacy.
The result is that nine tenths Of the
brave Piutes who are living ON Ne
vada soil to-day are in the last stages of
dyspepsia incident to an overindul-
gence in saleratus buns 1t is no I'M
common sight along the railroad lines
in Nevada to see buXom squaw with
can or two of saleratus in her grip
taking 1t home to the campoode to-
make biscuits for her chief, who eats
his repast unconscious Of the fact that
the case of acute indigestion which car
ried off his brother up the creek few
days before was induced by the saler-
atus biscuit. Ten years ago stomach
troubles were unknown among the In
dams Of the Western States, owing to
the fact that they consumed only cold
food. An Indians hatred for cooking
placed him in touch with more cold
food than hot, and indigestion was
practically unknown, but the easily
prepared and cheap saleratus biscuit
came along like the thief in the night
and stole away the diaphragm Of his
stomach, flooring him for keeps and
shortening the census report several
hundred on the WinRemucca reserva-
ton alone.-New York Journal.
