marvels OF the most recent ideas Of me-

together without the slightest intimation or
knowledge to the manufacturers that such
test was to take place. The practical experts
composing the investigating board gradually
weeded the machines down TO a small num-
bsr, and, afte- several days Of careful test
ing OF the relative merits OF the ma
chimes, they were unanimous in their
verdict that the Lowell Diamond was uR-
doubtedly the best wheel made and so re-
ported to the paper. the president OF which
Immediately wrote the J. p. Lowell Arms
company informing the latter OF the investi-
cation made and the decision reached. and
this was the first intimation that the Lowell
company had OF the matter. The
statement that the Lowell Diamond is the
best bicycle built is based upon the fact
that every part Of the machine is made at
their own factory. Previous to and includ-
ing 1896 the machine bearing the name
OF the Lowell Diamond was manufactured
for the John p. Lowell Arms Co. by out
side parties, but beginning with the season
of 1897, every part OF every machine bearing
their name plate has been constructed at tho
factory Of the John z. Lowell Arms Co. at
South Portland, Maine. This fact easily
accounts for the proven supremacy OF the

When Mr.. Felix Mahoney was a
special pension examiner, which
wasn't longer ago than month before
last, he had a bit of an experience
which deserves a place in the Singular
Coincidence list He happened up
in Connecticut. Mr.. Mahoney and a
temporary hireling of his were driving
along a country road in a sleigh, when
in snow-filled cut the conveyance
broke down. In the field beside the
road Mr.. Mahoney caught sight of a
mans head. He lifted up his voice
and called to the man. The head
rose slowly, higher, and higher, till
its owners entire figure was revealed,
as he climbed out of grave he had
been digging,
"Where does Jim Smith live?"
roared Mr.. Mahoney.
"Hey?" said the grsvedigger, for,
of course, he was deaf. You never
heard of a gravedigger in story who
wasn't.
Where does jim Smith live?"
roaled the pension examiner again,
fortissimo.
The grsvedigger pointed to the
nearest house.
"Well," said he, chats his house
over there.
SIS he at home?' beloved Mr..
Mahoney.
"Oh, yes" said the gravedigger;
"he's at home, I'm just digging his
grave. Washington Star.

open saloon with beer on one side and
soup on the other, and with the soup drive

At a recent meeting Of the Alumni Asso-

In Philadelphia one Of the professors said
that "it has been conclusively proven that
beer and Ilead-poisoning are the principal
factors In producing Bright's disease"

one was especially noticeable for the con-
tanned statement that English yachtsmen
have tried to win back the coveted trophy
several times, and now it is time that an
Irishman had an opportunity to try"
The exact dimensions and details of con-
struction of the yacht are not yet fully de-
cided, but everything about her will be
Irish. Its name will be Emerald. There
will be no conditions asked in the chal-
lenge. That is Sir Thomas Lipton's most

The cup is not to be won by contortions,
but by the best boat.
Sir Thomas J. Upton, the challenger,
was born in Scotland, of Irish parentage, 81
years ago, and his fortune is estimated in
the vicinity of $50, 900, 900, all of which he
accumulated by his own efforts. His prin-
cipal business is that of a tea merchant,
but in addition he supplies by annual con-
tract the British army and navy with pro-
visions, has an extensive beef packing
establishment in Chicago, owns and oper-
ates several Of the largest tea and coffee
plantations in the East Indies and controls
an immense ginger ale and mineral water
plant in Belfast, Ireland. During the last
year he merged his tea company into big
stock company, whose shares were sold at
fabulous figures.
He first came to the notice of royalty
during the celebration of the queen jubi-
lee by giving S125, 600 to the Princess of
Wales fund for the amelioration of the
poor of London and again shortly after
ward by donation of the same amount
for the relief of the famine sufferers in
India. Both of these gifts were forwarded
anonymously, but the amounts were SO
large that they were easily traced, and the
princess presented a handsome diamond
scarfpin to the merchant as a token of her
appreciation, and later he was knighted
by the queen, a direct result of his liberal
itY and charitable gifts.

INSOLENT GERMANS.
They are Laying the Foundation for
Trouble in Samoa

Seattle, Sept. 1.-THE insolence of the
Germans at Samoa is again making it
self evident, according to mail adVices
received here today from Apia. the
American and British cOnsuls figure in
the latest difficulty with the German
consul. A private letter in an interna-
tfonal case under consideration was lent
to a German resident of the island. On
it's return being demanded that the case
might proceed, he refused to give it up.
The American and British consuls en-
tered into a joint protest and request to
the German consul that the resident be
compelled to deliver it. The German
consul is reported to have replied: I'VE
will send it to the emperor first" The
British warship had not been out of
Apia but few hours when the incident
occurred. The vessel was sent there
for the purpose of inspiring some re-
spect in the Germans. While she was
in port everything was quiet, but as
soon as she left they began to assume a,
hostile and Independent air. A prom
inent citizen writes that he looks for an
open breach between the German consul
and either the British or American con-
sui at any time. He says there is
great surprise in Samoa that it has not
come before
