DISPUTED HONORS.
Historical Case Where A Hero Had T.

Historical Case Where A Hero Had To
 Wait For Recognition.
 History being but continuous suc- cession of repetitions, we do not have to search far in the past to find a. dispute regarding the award of honors for naval battle which bears an interesting if not very close re- semblance to the contemporary con- troversy concerning Schley and Samp- son. It stands out as one of the pict- uresque incidents of the war between the States, and Farragut is the central figure. After the capture of New Or leans by the fleet of that famous admiral, he sent the report of his operations to Washington by the hand of Captain Theodorus Bailey. The captain, innocent of the contents of the report which he bore from his com mander, was eagerly welcomed at the capital, and in the presence of Senator Grimes of Iowa, was asked by the Sec retary of the Navy to tell the story of the fall of the Crescent City. When Bailey had finished Grimes exclaimed: Come with me. The account of this great battle must be told on the floor of the Senate.'
 In the Senate chamber Captain Bail ey was greeted with emotional cordial ity and members of the house hurried over to listen to his recital of the i'm posing and stirring events, in which he had taken an important part, leading, as he did, the first division up the river even in advance of Farragut. At the conclusion of his narrative the repre- sentatives returned to their chamber with the impulse to give thanks of con- gress to both Bailey and Farragut, while Senator Grimes instantly arose in the Senate for the same purpose.
 But before the motion was made Secretary Welles had read Farragut' s report, which did not refer to Bailey as having led the way, and indeed re- presented the fleet as ascending the river in two colums abreast, himself at the head of one of these. Welles hastened a warning to Grimes, and the Senator in the midst of his eulogium was obliged to call 8 halt on the en- thusiasm which was sweeping the two houses along. He explained the mat ter as well as he could to Captain Bailey, who still sat in the chamber,

MrDAI, FOR MIR. DooLITTLE.

Branford, Aug. 12.-Thomas B. Doo- little of Branford has just received mo- tce that the committee on science and the arts of the Franklin institute has awarded him the Edward Longstreth medal of merit i;s recognition of his successful efforts in developing the value of hacd-drawn copper wire for electrical purposes.
 An abstract of the report of the com- mittee reform, to the fact that MT. Doolittla in the year 1877 suggested the use of hard-drawn copper wire for telegraph and telephone purposes and was successful in experiments made in that year at the works of the Ansonia Brass and Copper company.
 Hard-drawn copper wire has now become q staple article of manufacture, not less than S0,000.OO0 pounds having been produced in the country in 1896.
 The report concludes that MT. Doo- little is entitled to recognition:
 For having been the first to recognize the value of hard-drawn copper wire, and for having by his persistent en- deavors in the face of adverse condi- tions, succeeded in establishing it's use for electric conducting wires.
 For his long-continued experiments and labor in overcoming the many diff faculties encountered in producing on the commercial scale, a hard drawn copper wire, and table for electric con- ducting purposes.

such service they have of recent years not proved so effective as formerly, since they have found out that the crafty mandarins were constantly de- fraduing them. Such was the case in the late Chino-Japanese war, with con- sequences that everybody knows.
 When the volunteers came to close quarters with the Japanese in the is lands of Formosa and Plscadore they did not show the least inclination to maintain their character for courage and endurance, as they did when fight ing with the French in Tonquin, and with the Mahometans In eastern Tur- kestan. In many cases, indeed, they refused to fight in the service of the government In the Province of Hu- nan, for instance, an imperial commits sioner was sent to enroll volunteers as braves" for the suppression of a re- cent rebellion in the Province of Kan su; he was turned out of the country by the people who would formerly have accepted service under him, regarding it as an honor and a glory.
 Soldiers are generally despised by the people of China, who regard them as outlaws and dangerous hordes of public enemies rather than as honored de- lenders of their country, and the sol diers in their turn do not scruple to give offence to the public in many ways, But the volunteers are looked on by the people in quite different light. Being picked men from the vil- lages and supported by the village com munities, they are honored by the peo- pie and respect themselves. In times of war they are given the most arduous and dangerous part in active service, while in times of peace they are forbid den to assemble in any great numbers, the use of good arms is prohibited them, and they are not allowed even target practice.
 Strange as it may seem, the resources of the empire for self defence are prac- tically inexhaustible. There are plenty of men endowed with courage, energy and the necessary intellectual require ments, and the material resources of the country are no less abundant If the volunteers were organized and trained on European methods, and fair ly treated by the government they would make an excellent fighting force London Morning Post.

THE MoULTING OF A HARMFUL


 THE MOULTING OF A TARANTULA
 An event of more than ordinary in- terest transpired in my office yesterday noon. The large female tarantula shed her skin for the second time since she has been in captivity. Those fam iliar with insects, spiders and related creatures, are aware that they are in cased by a hard unyielding integument. Increase of size is permissible only when the skin is shed, and one that has been newly formed beneath expands to the requisite degree. This is process constantly recurring in nature, and ever excites interest in the beholder When a large spider three inches long, throws off the old integument it is thrilling sight. In the present case, the taran- tula had evidently been feeling unwell for some days, a condition frequently preceding this process among insects, and yesterday morning she was found lying upon her back and apparently dead, but moved a. little upon being disturbed. She lay thus until about 1915 o'clock when the rustling her movements made excited attention. The old skin was then ruptured about the thorax in such manner that the top could be removed entire, and through this opening the giant spider was literally working out of her skin. This was accomplished by the aid of the eight legs and the two leg-like palpi. At the end of an hour the change had been effected The spider lay upon her back, beside the perfect skin, resting from the severe exertion. This tarantula was unusually large be- fore she moulted, and is now of still greater size She came north in a bunch of bananas about two and one half years ago, and until last January was the pet of Dr. J. M. Bigelow. While under his care one skin was shed and is now in my possession. An idea of the increase in size attendant upon moulting may be gained by comparing the dimensions of the dorSal piece of the skin shed about the latter part of 1896, when under the care of Dr. Bige- low, and the one shed yesterday. The first measures one inch and the second measures one and one-fourth inches. Therefore the present dorsal piece will probably be approximately larger when fully expanded.-Albany Argus.

UNITED STATES COURT
The $4,000 Damage Case of p.
j. McAndrews.
AGAINST THE SHORT LINE
The Fatal Accident Which Befell Michael
McAndrews II the Basis OF the Suit.
Four Indictments Re-
turned.

The $4,000 damage case of +. J. Nc
Andrews against the receivers OF the q.
s. l.. and Utah Northern was called
in the federal court at 2 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The suit arises from a
fatal accident by which Michael Nc
Andrews met death. on March Is. 1895.
Michael McAndrews. section foreman OF
the road at Glen. fell OF the passenger
train going from Butte south. His an
kle was crushed by the wheels passing
over IL and he lay In the track for two
or three hours after the mishap. He
was subsequently found by friends who
happened along or the Glen hill. They
took him TO Dillon. where medical aid
was given, after which he was sent to
Lima. where one OF the doc
tors treated him. The man was taken
10 Ogden March 20. where he died.
+. J. McAndrews was appointed by
h court in Beaverhead county ad-
ministrator of the estate of Michael Nc
Andrews, and he is the plaintiff In the
action before the court at this time.
j. l.. Wines and NJ. ID. Leehy are
plaintiffs attorneys and J. :. Shrop-
shire appears for the railroad.
The opening statement of The coun-
sci for McAndrews to the jury was in
substance as follows: McAndrews was
u over about Z o'clock I'm the evening
OF the 18th of March. 1895. He lay On
the track for three-quarters OF an hour
before he was discovered. He was taxi
en- 20 Dillon. where his wounds were
dressed. The physician who attended
him telegraphed to the roads physician
at Lima and was instructed to forward
the injured man TO that point. The
train from Ogden passed Lima en- route
to Butte while McAndrews was in
Lima. and IL is the contention that he
should nave been put on that train and
sent to Butte for surgical treatment.
The company. IL is alleged, was guilty
OF neglect in not sending the man to
Butte at once and in holding him at
Lima for many hours before sending
him 10 the company hospital at Ogden.
Michael was entitled to the services Of
the hospital department by reason q
his paying regular monthly dues to the
department. Deceased was the main
support of his mother in ireland. His
sister is an inmate and was then of the
asylum at Warm Springs.
Mr.. Shropshire's statement 10 the
jury threw another ray of light on the
subject. The plaintiffs counsel had
said that McAndrews was an honest.

ONE NEW York FRAUD.
News of Her Gathered ut an Out OF Town
Boarding House.

When I'm New York city a visitor
naturally many varieties Of
fraud" remarked a gentleman who Is
summering I'm Detroit to a Free Press
man. but IN my last visit heard of
one that surpasses anything | know of.
An artist friend of mine boarded in "A
highly respectable boarding house on
a well-located street. and naturally in
terested herself I'm studying the board
ers. Among them was a pretty and
stylish young woman, n widow, who
maintained herself by only half a days
absence from her room. She would go
out every morning becomingly and
~fashionably clad, and at
luncheon with an air of prosperity on
her countenance.
ION her walks abroad she carried a
very elegant little satchel with a silver
monogram on IL. and a theory pre-
vailed among the other boarders that
she probably sold face powder. en-
broidery, silk, complexion lotions, or
some other trifie which she a made
pay. She was n lady in appearance
and behavior, and. while very reserved
on her own affairs, vas extremely pop
ular. as popularity goes in New York
boarding houses. Just as my friend
was about TO leave New York for the
summer the secret OF this young
womar's o%pulence was revealed. She
was in the employ OF a man who print
ed bogus tickets To excursions and en-
t~ertainments for ostensible charities
and church organizations. He IN
ployed a number OF attractive young
women. who made sales I'm the offices
and mong the business houses.
Busy men who bought these tickets
at Is cents. never expected to use them.
and occasionally would throw in
ranging from 81 to s. to help
along the charity. and this extra money
the saleswomen were allowed to retain.
This fraudulent business had been go
ing on for months and was finally dis
covered and denounced by some med
dlesome man who tried to take "A boat
ride on a ticket purchased for the BEN
eft OF a founding hospital. There was
no such excursion on the date named
by the ticket. and the indignant man
made public outcry and ran the fraud
into insolvency. The man who made
the bogus tickets N his young women
~accomplices made an excursion to the
penitentiary. I hope"

only cabman what he would charge TO
take her home.
Fifty cents. mum" said cabby. $500.

not pay any such price"
Very well. mum"
After another five minutes genius de-
scended to argument.

There was silence for another five

the town side of an immense puddle
which stretched not only across the road
but across the gravel path as well. The
carriage door opened, and genius picked
up its skirts for descent, then caught
sight Of the puddle. faltered. stood with
n foot on the step. and looked up the
hill toward the imposing house. The
cabman thought the 50 cents was his,
but he didn't know his passenger. h
stepped back into the cab, but thrust
an irate face out OF the window.
The very least you can do after such
extortion is to throw in the puddle" h

TRADE OPENINGS.

Among the consular reports for the
month OF August is a letter from Edwin
Dudley, United States consul at Vancou-
yer. in which he says he believes that
Their is a field there for the importation
of well-bred horses. cattle and sheep from
the United States. The horses in that vi
cinity, he says. are all understood and
very poorly bred. Good driving horses
are scarce. and good draught horses are
almost unknown. The cattle, with a few
exceptions. are not of the best breed. and
a few Shorthorns and Jersey bulls could
he sold or used TO the profit of the i'm
porter.
Louis G~oldschmidt, consul at La Quay
ra. writes that nearly all Of the coal used
there is of English origin, and the con-
sumption is considerable. The retail price
of coal by the ton OF 2,2iO pound varies
from 81 20 to s12 so, and these prices are
paid for quantities of from one ton to 20
tons and more. The coal is put up by the
Welsh miners into small bricks or bril-
QUOTES, ks inches in thickness and about
II inches long. II is easy to handle in the
small engines employed by the railways
that carry their fuel on a small platform
attached to the engine where ordinary
coal would fall OF. Owing to the late coal
strikes in Wales very little coal has ar
rived there of late. hut i'm spite of that no
American coal has been landed at that
port except "A special kind of hard coal
used for the manufacture Of gas.
There Is an excellent opening here for
United States coal" says Consul Gold
schmidt. land no doubt the same holds
good i'm many South American countries:
but our exporters must meet the de-
mands of the trade ! have no doubt that
American coal can be landed here and
sold much cheaper than British coal. and
still leave an excellent profit for the
shipper"
