SUICIDE FOR PEACE.
Woman's Strange pelu,ion eliminates In
Horrible Death,

Horrible Death.
New Castle. Pa, July 29.-One of the
most horrible deaths by suicide ever
chrohicled has occurred here. Mrs. AL
bert Campbell, after saturating her
clothing with kerosene oil, strapped her.
self to a stake and deliberately burned
herself to DEATH
Mrs. Campbell, who had five small
children, the youngest a baby of 7
months, has been suffering from strange
Authorizations for some time past. Her
dementia appeared to date from the
commencement of the war, for which
she believed herself to be responsible.
few weeks since she declared that
1T was ordained that she should offer
herself as a sacrifice to divine wrath
| and thus secure the peace of nations
She was closely watched at the time;
but, having appeared more rational
lately, fears of her suicide vanished, and
her friends relaxed their espionage.
! Mrs. Campbell slipped down the stairs
Of her house without awakening the
| family. She was clad only in a light
wrapper In the kitchen she obtained
can Of kerosene, a stout strap and a
box of matches. She then ran to stake
which is driven into the ground so feet
from her home.
Kneeling by this, she bound the strap
about her waist and securely to the
stake. Then she emptied the can OF
Kerosene over her clothing and lit II
with matches. In an instant she was
completely enveloped in fierce flames
Her shrieks awakened a neighbor, who
rushed to the spot, but when reached
Mrs. Campbell was dead, her body be.
ing horribly charred and burned from
head to foot. The strap which bound
her had been burned in halves, and hel
body had fallen forward on the face
BY her side was the eEpty kerosene
can.

First American Negro to DistinGufsl, Himself as n Civil Engineer.

First American Negro to DistinGutsh
 Himself as n Civil Engineer.
 Tt is pretty well known to those who have informed themselves on the sub ject that Maj. L'Enfant, French en- gineer, laid out the plans of Washing ton," said a leading physician, who has given a great deal of attention to Q study of the early history of that city, and Andrew Ellicott was employed to complete the work, the big property owners of the day being combined against L'Enfant for the reason that some of the lines laid down by him ran into their property, as they un- derstood to the injury thereof, and that Ellicott did finish it. Itis not generally Known, however that Ellicott's power iul engineer assistant was a eolored man, Benjamin Baneker by name. Bane- &er was born and raised at Enicott City, Md His remains are in the cemetery there, unmarked and neglected, though he was the first colored man to distin- guish himself as a mathematician and civil engineer in the history of this country. He possessed a wonderful gen. jus for mathematics and the exact sciences. and long before he had gained a prominence as a civil engineer was the author of an almanac, which ranked as standard authority.
 Among others who were attracted by it was Thomhs Jefferson, who free. ly admitted that the work of Baneker deserved and commanded his praise. Baneker was GO years of age when he ran the lines for the city of Washington. He is described as fine-looking speci- men of man, very distinguished in appearance, having head and suit of white hair not unlike in general ap- pearance to the late Frederick Doug lass. He wore g drab coat of superfne broadcloth and Quaker hat, with a broad brim. It is not known exactly how much was paid to Baneker for his services, for engineers in those days did not command the salaries of the present times. Ellicott himself only re- ceived five dollars per day and expenses for bis services. which, the records show, Jefferson thought too much. Tn the letter to Maj. L'Enfant relieving him of the work. President Jefferson states: 'Elicort is to go on to finish lay ing of the plan on the ground and sur yeying and plating the district. I have remonstrated with him on the ex- cess of five dollars per day and his ex- penses. and he has proposed striking of the latter Under these circum- stances 1t is not probable that Baneker was paid much, notwithstanding the value of his services. Ellicott was but q little over half the age of his assist mt, Baneker. and he had the greatest confidence in him. depending on him to unite many of the engineering difficult ties that were constantly met with during the progress of their work.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ANIMAL colonisrs.
Foreign Cattle Taking the Place of
 COmAoA Doaeattcs.

During the last few years the demand for pedigree English cattle for Argen- tina has been enormous. Shorthorns, Herefords and Devons have been i'm ported weekly. and @ cross-bred English stock now fills the "corrals" of the great beef and bovril companies of the River Plate. In North America this Anglicizing process hes spread to all the states..of the union. Hsh-bred Herefords and shorthorns are taking the place of the common cattle of the states on nearly all the ranches of the bcef-producing districts, and thecolon- izing capacity of different English breeds is recommending them for spe- cial districts. Thus the Devon bulls are purchased for ranches where the search for pasture and water needs spe- cial activity and endurance, and red "polled" or hornless Sufiolks are used where cattle are being bred for transit by rail or ship, because the absence of horns is then convenient. Even trop- ical Brazil follows the fashion, and English Jersey cows arc seen demurely walking through the forest paths by the coffee plantations, and English ter riers and pug dogs sit on the laps of Brazilian ladies.
 Whether the Jersey cattle will multi ply on the planters estates time will show, but the spread of our colonizing animals, which are now invading simul- taneously the plains of Patagonia and the North Canadian territory. does not limit its progress to the direction Of the poles Tn India the English horse be- comes a eolonist by second intention. in the form of the 'yyaier.s Q sounder and stronger animal than the ma iority of British hackneys. His value, as compared with the native breeds of Asia, is still undetermined, but we must accept his presence and survival as a fact.-London Spectator.

LAUNDERING ENGLISH.
The Gross Misuse of the NOmfna-
 tive Case of PrOnouns.

The Gross Misuse of the Nominal
 tive Case of Pronouns.
 There is one extremely common mis- take in English which always fills me with sadness when it does not fill me with vexation," said the man who tries to be careful in his use of language. T do not like to preach general discourses on the use of bad language, because do not feel safe, and one's sermon in such a case is so likely to be ridiculous ex- ample of the thing complained of. But this mistake is so gross and palpable that anyone with an elementary knowledge of grammar should recog- nize it. The thing which makes it pe- culiarly sad or vexatious is the fact that the error is often made by persons who make some pretense of using good English. Half or 75 per cent. of the school teachers, I will venture to say, make this mistake. It is the use of such expressions as Between you and r. They asked you and to come CT Let you and gn,' CT, more horrible still, They saw he and I uptown In other words, it is the use of the nomina- tive form of the pronoun as the object of a proposition or a verb.
 The reason for this is obvious. It is known that ignorant persons use such expressions as Him and me went up town or you and me was seen. Peo- pie learning that such expressions are incorrect somehow get the notion that it is never correct to use such form as you and me- or him and her. or them and me- They feel guilty whenever they are caught using such combina- tion of words, and doubtless if they heard a person say. They asked him and me 10 come to the dinner, which alone is correct, they would have sense that an error had been made. They get to feel that the conjunction and has a kind of double action control, govern ing the nominative case at both ends A little reflection would remind them that this word has nothing at all to do 1 with the cases.
 "A sure cure of this bad habit is to | drop the 'and' and use each of the pro- nouns alone. What person, forinstance, who would say: They asked you and l to come would also say: They asked 10 come, or what person who would without hesitation say: let you and I go,' could ever be caught saying: Let go? Many of the people who use you and I as the object of a verb would not go so far as to say: They asked he and I if we would come, but there are per sons who go this length and display an annoying sense of superiority in doing it. They feel that there is something elegant about the combinations, He and r. She and l. and They and I, and scorn the humble aceusative forms, vet even these would hardly say: They saw he,' or They sase l., or They saw she,' or They saw they Why in the world, then, should the and make any difference in their speech? This is a point to which it would be well for teachers of English to give their atten- tion."-Indianapolis News.

Ala.xa.. Great Forests.

The gold of Alaska. on which the at- tention of mankind is just now fixed with brilliant anticipation, may not, in the end, turn out to be the greatest treasure which that land possesses. The Alaskan forests appear to be among the most valuable in existence. Extending from Cross sound, little south of Mount Fairweather, to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. partly in Alaska and pert ly in British Columbia. lies what Gar den and Forest describes as the great est continuous body of timber of the cone-bearing or pine family in the world, 'almost unmarked as yet by the ax, safe from fire. and of easy access 7 Security from fire, due to the moist climate. is regarded as one of the chief causes of the continued existence of these magnificent forests. = Youths Companion.
