AGED COUPLES PERIL.
Miller and His Wife Caught in Shaft
 ing at Cadillac.

Cadillac, Mich, Feb. 20.-At about 5 o'clock this afternoon J. J. Holmes, proprietor of the Banner Touring mills was caught in the main shaft and whirled round and round with lightn- ing rapidity.
 His wife happened in and, noticing her husbands peril, ran to his rescue. Her clothing was also caught in tie shaft, and it seemed as though both were being whirled to their death.
 Fortunately, Mrs. Holmes clothing was torn from her and she was thrown upon the floor of the mill comparative ly uniniured. Not knowing how to stop the machinery, she ran to the railroad near by and secured the as sistance of some railroad men, who, taking in the situation at a glance, shut down the engine.
 By this time every vestige of cloth ing had been torn from the miller's body and he lay upon the floor of the mill bleeding from many wounds. He was carried to hls home and ln a few
 
 Strange to relate, no bones were broken and his chief injury consisted of slight scalp wound. It is consid- cred a miraculous escape, considering g the fact that they are an aged couple. MILLIONS TO KILL COMPETITION. Sugar Trust Reported Ready to Begin
 An Aggressive Campaign.
 New York, Feb. 20-Arrangements are completed which the sugar trust management claims warrant it in be- ginning an aggressive campaign against competition.
 It is declared by officers of the sugar company that the plans proposed are more thoroughgoing than any to which the trust has hitherto resorted. Largely, at the start, the war will be waged against the Messrs. Arbuckle, whose new independent sugar refn- cry will be ready for active operation a few months hence.
 The sugar trust, having recently, and in very quiet ways, perfected it's coffee business, will cut the price of that staple, at the outset, it is said, 2 cents pound. The war, which will first display itself in the coffee trade, is likely to extend promptly against every independent sugar refinery in the country.
 The sugar trust policy will be to re- lieve itself of every kind of hurtful competition, and to accomplish this it is averred that the trust stands ready to spend millions of dollars.

The Work Outlined in Both
 Houses of Congress
THE EXPECTED HAY HAPPEN
Soma PnaSa Of the Cuban
 O. eStion May Develop
Senator Allen Oe Nebraska on rip Toe to Divert the Work of LeEis la ton to Consideration of Insur- gent Woes.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The diplo- matic and consular and military acad- emy appropriation bills will be con- sidered and passed by the senate dur ing the week. There will be more or less debate in the executive sssion on the Hawaiitn annexation treaty and speeches will be made on the claim of MT. Corbett for seat in the senate on the appointment of the governor of Oregon. The Corbett matter will not be pressed except to the end of having speeches so far disposed of as to make sure of getting vote at the time fixed, a week from tomorrow.
 The expectation is that the bill mak- ing the appropriation for the consular and diplomatic service will be made the basis for considerable debate. It is understood to be Senator Aliens in tention to make an effort to secure the incorporation in the bill of an amend ment of his providing for the recogni- tion of Cuban belligerency, and if he should make this effort the result might be a general discussion of the Cuban question.
 THE HOUSE WORK.
 Washington, Feb. 20.-Unless the Cuban question or some phase of the Maine disaster should come before the house this week the time with the ex- ception of tomorrow, which, under the arrangement made last week will be given up to the consideration of pri vate bills, will be devoted nominally, at least, to the civil appropriation bill. This bill will be reported to the house. It is very voluminous measure, containing all kinds and ends of ap- propriations, as it's name indicates, and is usually productive of more pro- tracted contests than any other ap- propriation bill.
 It is understood that information re- garding the situation in Cuba, asked for last week by the house, has been prepared by the state department and is ready for transmission. Some of the consular reports bearing upon the situation have been edited in some places, but it is said the situation as presented probably will call for some action before the information goes to the house this week. An effort may be made to get it in this matter.

Nine. Schumann left behind her when

Although Louis Becke's South sea
stories give to his readers so much en-

his contributions to that paper, in which
most of his writings first appear. Mr..

THE EFFECT OF FRIGHT.

Thompson cites the case of work
man at York, who, having fallen from
a high building that he was repairing,
succeeded in holding on to the gutter
with one hand. He was rescued, but not
until his hair had turned white.
While the hair of people verging to-
ward middle age turns gray slowly and
progressively, the whitening of a single
hair usually occurs in one night. This
gives some ground for belief when
stories are told of people whose hair
has become white in one night through
fright.
\ Dutch physician, Junius, tells of a
nobleman of high rank who, being con-
demned to be beheaded, grew gray in
one night. The same thing happened
to Seigneur de ST. Waller, father of Di-
ana of Poitiers, while Guarini, professor
of Greek at Verona, grew gray all at
once on learning of the loss at sea OF a
chest of manuscripts that was coming
from Constantinop.e.
Bichat saw one of his friends grow
quite white in the space of a single
night, after having experienced n vlo-
lent emotion. The unfortunate queen,
Marie Antoinette, grew almost entirely
gray during the night preceding her
execution. Moleschott relates that
Louise Sforza grew entirely white in
the night following his defeat and cap
ture, after his campaign against Louis
XII.

THOSE WHO WRITE.

Gertrude Atherton is at Rouen, where
she will spend the winter. She is now en-
gagged on a novel dealing with interna-
tional marriages and is to have large
royalty besides the large sum in advance
she has already received.
DR.. Edward Everett Hale says that
600 words of any language are all that
are necessary for communication. Eu-
ropean couriers do not possess more
knowledge than this and while it repre-
sents the minimum of human intelli-
gence it is sufficient for the transference
of thought.
Michel Ange.o has left private cor
respondence which is shortly to be pub
lished. 1t is reported that 600 docu-
ments have been arranged in chrono-
logical order and added to the letters
written by Michel Angelo to popes,
princes, artists and men of letters. 1t
will be interesting to see whether these
letters throw any new light on the re-
lations between Michel Angelo and
Raphael Sanzio.
William D. Howe,,s has lusi returned
from abroad, where he has been since
July in pursuit of health. Germany in
terested him, though he found the
climate terrible and felt oppressed by
the military atmosphere. During his
absence he completed a novel and will
soon begin another, the notes for which
he collected during his trip. The scenes
will be laid abroad but the characters
will be American.
