FORMERLY the ashes on steamships
were gathered into great cans, hoisted
to the decks with more or less difficulty
and thrown overheard. Among the new
devices for labor-saving in this direc-
tion is a chute into which very strong
air current is fore i. The ashes are
placed in the chute as they accumulate
and are almost instantly blown
through this conductor into the sea.
The amount of labor saved by this
means can scarcely be appreciated by
those who have not watched the weari-
some dragging of the enormous guam
tity of refuse from the furnaces in
steamships and large plants.

THE monastery of Solovetsll, in Arch
angel, Russia, is inclosed on every side
by wall of granite powders, meas
uring nearly a mile in circumference.
The monastery itself is very strongly
fortified, being supported by round and
square towers about 30 feet in height,
with walls 20 feet in thickness. The
monastery consists in reality of six
churches, which are completely filed
with statues of all kinds and precious
stones. Upon the walls and the towers
surrounding these churches are mount
ed huge guns, which in the time of
the Crimean war were directed against
the British White Sea squadron.

True Patriots,

The democrats have no luck at all in
claiming all the national heroes as par
tisans. Dewey. of Manila fame, turns
out to be a republican, as is perfectly
natural for born and bred Vermonter.
Admiral Schley says: II am not
democrat; neither am l republican.
My politics is my country" And that
is good enough politics for any fighting
man. Gen. Merritt says he is some
thing of a democrat. but is glad the
country is sustaining the administra-
ton, because Mckinley is right. Joe"
Wheeler is a democrat who forgets pol
itics when chasing Spaniards. And
Hobson is a democrat. though he has
been too busy serving the nation lately
to pay any attention to politics. As
whole, the war outfit seems content to
leave government matters in repub-
lican hands, wholly satisfied with the
way things are done.-Troy Times.

THE BAKER FORTUNE.
Heirs of the Estate Are Made Aware
That the Philadelphia Fortune is a

Pittsburg. July 21.-In connection
with the report that $40, 900 is ready
to be distributed among the Baker
heirs the following abstract from the
adverse report made to the Beaver,
Pa, contingent to the Baker heirs
association" will be of interest.
The report is made by w. II. S.
Thompson and Charles r. Eckert, who
spent considerable time in Philadel-
phia investigating the matter.
The report says:
In connection and cooperation with At
torneys f. NJ. Stoner and II. NJ Ewing,
of Tittsburg, representing certain of the
Baker heirs, was made a very careful
search of all the records in the county of
Philadelphia which might in any way
throw light upol the estate in question.
We were greatly assisted by II. j. Miller
an attorney of Chicago. who claims him
self to be in the line of inheritance, and
who for money consideration which we
paid him, laid before US the result of his
search, extending over many months.
We were directed by you to turn our at
tention more particularly to an estate in
lands which Were said to be held under
lease for ninety nine years, which lease
had not long ago eHpi ed, and also to an
alleged fund held somewhere in trust for
the Baker heirs and which had accumu-
lated for long period of time.
AS TO the latter we may say that we
find no reference of record anywhere in
dicating the creation or existence of any
such trust fund. Since our return from
Philadelphia we learned from Mr.. Miller
that certain old mortgages held by Henry
Baker had been paid into court to await
the satisfaction of the heirs.
Messrs. Stcner and Ewing have since
gone to Philadelphia tC investigate this
of the money having been paid into court,
the mortgages were satisfied by proceed
ings under the act of assembly to have
them legally satisfied of record.
AS to the alleged lease. there is no lease
OF lands in any of the Baker names justi-
flying in any way the numerous reports
which have been published In relation
thereto.
The Baker heirs are scattered all
over the United States and Canada
and considerable interest is every
where manifested in the course of in
vestigation. The conclusions of Messrs.
Thompson. Eckert, Stoner and Ewing
cooperating in the investigation, but
proceeding on independent lines in the
matter of their employment, practc-
ally establish that q number Of per-
sons scattered over this broad land,
and harboring a delusion in the mat
ter of coming into possession of a con-
siderable section OF the city of Broth
erly Love or lingering millions Of its
dollars.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
A Test Case From Juniata is Heard
at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. July 2l.-Chief Justice
Sterrett today delivered the opinion of
the Supreme court in the case of the
Juniata Limestone company, limited,
against Millard III. Fagley. This was
an appeal by the defendants from the
common pleas court of Blair county,
which court held that the Act of June
10, 1897, entitled an act regulating the
employment of foreign born, unnatural
lied persons, TO be unconstitutional be-
cause 1t offends against the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution OF the
United States and Section /, Article 9,
OF our own constitution.
This act was known as the alien
labor tax law, and Chief Justice Ster-
rett says it belongs to a vicious class
OF legislation and affirms the decision
OF the lower court, quoting largely from
the opinion of Judge Acheson, of the
United States circuit court who had
also declared the act to be unconstitu-
tionsl.

HIS LEFT ARM CUT OFF.
Michael buddy, of Minooka, Had His
Arm Run Over While He Was
Asleep on the Railroad.

Michael buddy, of Minooka, while
lying asleep at midnight on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail-
road in the rear Of the Phoenix Chemi
cal companys quarters, had his left
arm cut off near the shoulder. He was
dragged several feet by the train and
his clothes show that he had very
narrow escape from being mangled to
death.
He and Peter Judge were together
around town drinking during the early
part of the night, according to the
story given by Judge to the police, and
they wandered to the upper part of
Lackawanna avenue, and turned down
behind the Chemicals quarters to find
a place to doZe a few hours. The
first thing Judge knew, the sound of
a rushing train and the screams of
man filled his ears. He rubbed his
eyes, and the fact dawned on him that
his companion was hurt.
He went out on Lackawanna avenue
and ran till he met Patrolman Johler,
whom he informed of what had hap
pened. The Lackawanna hospital am
bulance was sent for and arrived. DR..
Newbury could not obtain any infor-
nation from Judge about the injured
man, nor would he tell his own name.
Consequently he was arrested and
taken to the Center street station.
When his excitement passed away he
told their names and all else he knew
about the matter. Thereupon he was
permitted to go home. His impression
was that it was the passenger train
which left at 12.55 for New York that
injured buddy.
buddy was unable to throw any more
light on the case at the hospital. He
had his senses, though he had been
drinking freely. He was quite well
known by reason of his ability as a
boxer. having been a strong, hardy
and supple young man. He has two
brothers in the Eleventh infantry of
the United States army at Tampa. DR..
Newbury ordered a priest for him. be-
cause he had lost a large quantity OF
blood and the shock was an intense
one.

OUTLOOK FOR PEACE.
No Hope of overtures From Spain
Yet, Washington Thinks.

Madrid, July 2l.-2 p. ma news
paper here today publishes a statement
from a cabinet minister, who says he
is absolutely ignorant of any peace
negotiations. He added that if there
are overtures they will be made to the
minister for foreign affairs, Duke AL
modovar de Rio, and that Senior Ga
mazo, the minister of public instruc-
tion, will be charged with the negotia-
tions.
Washington, July 2l.-Without any
very tangible reason there has been a
notable diminution of the optimistic
expressions among officials to the ef-
feet that an early peace might be
looked for. Possibly the temporary de-
preston is explainable by the fact that
private advices, entirely unofficial in
character from sources of informa ton
in Europe, indicate that the situation
in Spain is such that there is no pres
ent hone of overtures from that gov
ernment, which is apparently in the
most exasperating ignorance of the
condition in America.
1t is apparent to the officials that
the peace party in Spain feels itself too
weak 10 insist upon demanding peace.
1t is probably working in a quiet way
to educate the Spanish people up to
the point where they can contemplate
with resignation the acceptance of the
minimum peace conditions that might
he expected 10 form the basis Of the
United States demand If the domi.
nant party In Spain is under the i'm
preston that the United States pro-
poses to denude Spain of all or almost
all of her colonial possessions, 1t might
he conjectured easily that it would
favor a protracted resistance, Being
convinced that it had little more at
stake and relying on the European
powers TO protect the peninsula itself.
The warning notes from Europe, con-
yeyed through reputable newspapers,
that the United States is not to be
allowed to conduct a compaign in Eu-
rope, are interpreted in some quar-
ters as really the only hopeful signs
looking toward the beginning of peace
negotiations. Bearing in mind the
well recognized reluctance of the Eu-
ropean nations to allow any interfer-
ence with the balance of power in
Europe, 1t is assumed that the neutral
nations may now be spurred on by
knowledge of the approach of Wat
sons eastern squadron, to make the
strongest representations to Spain in
the direction OF peace. But regardless
of the success of the expedition from
this point of view, 1t is still the stead
fast purpose of the administration to
send a squadron to European waters.
1t feels justified in undertaking that
because the notion prevails that the
war can be terminated only by strik-
ing a blow at Spain direct, and the
United States is not disposed to recog-
nize the right of any country or COM
bination of countries to prevent 1t
from seeking the enemy where It is
to be found-ln this case in Spain
proper.
