Farmers, Institutes for 1895 ,99.

University of Wisconsin, Madison,
May 10, 1898. Farmers or public
spirited business men who wish to Sc
cure an institute for their locality
during the winter season of 1898 80
should send to this Office for blank
petition and letter of information.
Any town, no matter how small or
how far from the railroad, is entitled
to an institute, provided it is located
in a farming district, and has good
hall in which meeting can be held.
The institutes of 1897 '9S were well
attended and more interest was mani
tested than ever before. A number of
towns also held 81 Mid-winter fair in
connection with the institute. From
the correspondence and large number
of petitions now reaching this Office
we believe the season of 1898 80 will
exceed the past one.

CAVE-DWELLERS IN ALASKA.
Village of Two Hundred Discovered on
Kings Island.

A race of cave-dwellers live on small
island off the Alaskan coast 1t is
Kings island, in Behring sea, due south
of Cape Prince of Wales. There is only
ton of 200. DR.. Sheldon Jackson, the
United States agent of education in Alas
ka, says that it is one of the most remark
able settlements in America, yet few peO-
pie know of its existence
Kings island is about a mile in length.
and is a mass of basalt rock, which
rises perpendicularly out of the sea to a
height of from 100 to 1000 feet. At the
south side this is cleft in two by a deep
ravine, which is filed by huge perma-
nent snOwbank. High up on the west
side of the ravine is the village of Ouki-
yak, which consists of about forty dwell
ings, partly followed out of the cliff and
built up outside with stone walls. Across
the top of these walls are laid large drift
wood poles; over these are placed hides.
and over the hides grass and dirt The
houses are entered by a tunnel which
runs along underneath. sometimes for a
distance of fifteen feet, and ends under a
hOle--eighteen inches in diameter-in the
floor Of the room above. This is the front
Goor of the establishment. The tunnel is
so low that it is necessary TO stOOp, and
often to crawl, the entire length of if.
In summer these houses generally be-
come too damp to live in. The people
then erect another dwelling on top; this is
a tent of walrus hide which is stretched
over a wooden frame and guyed to the
rocks by ropes TO prevent its being blown
off into the sea. These tents allow Of a
room ten or fifteen feet square. and en-
tered by means of an oval hole in the
hide about two feet above the floor A
narrow platform two feet wide runs along
outside of the door and leads back to the
hill. These platforms are often fifteen or
twenty feet above the winter dwelling
below.
At the other side of the deep ravine. at
the base Of the cliff. is a huge cavern into
which the sea dashes. At the back of this
is large bank of perpetual snow The
cave-dwellers use this as a storehouse.
They dig rooms in the snow and store
their provisions, which freeze solid and
keep the year round, for the temperature
in the snow never rises above 80 degrees.

Symt OIiSm in Gloves

The prevalence of ire glove is fes-
ture of modern rather than of ancient
civilization. Musonius, writing in the
First century, says: ''It is shameful
that persons in perfect health should
clothe their hands and feet with soft.
hairy coverings" The symbolism of
gloves grew up slowly under medieval
fostering. The traces Of this symbolism
that still remain may be seen in
the white gloves worn at weddings, the
Wnlte gloves given at a maiden assize,
the black gloves of funeral ceremonies
with the clergy the glove became a sym
Dol or their Office; its purity and incor-
ruDtIDlllty; with feudalism it became
synonymous with knightly honor The
last resting place of old customs is gen
eraHF 70 oe found IN popular phrase0logy
as when we speak of throwing down
the gauntlet" Even now, at the corona
ton Of British sOyereigns. the glove is
thrown III Westminster hall by the armed
champion of majesty; and it is remem-
bered at the browning OF George II. an
unknown JacObite came forward and
raised the glove on behalf of the eXiled
Stuarts. 1t was a plucky though foolish
action.
In the days of the Plantagenets it ap-
pears that the kings We're not only
crowned with gloves on their hands. but
were buried with them. When the tomb
Of King John was opened in 1877 it was
ADhAAO' lIdI LIS HdIllIS WE'RE SIONpu. anu
the remains Of Edward l. were discoy-
cred in the same condition. The glove
had long been a symbol of investiture
and possibly the kings were thus buried
with some idea of investing them with
the rights of the grave-their regal rights
having passed to their SUCCESSORS. At the
coronation of French kings the royal
gloves were blessed by the bishop who of
ticlated. In some parts of Chrstendom
bishops themselves were indicted to their
dioceses by receiving a glove, investing
them with temporal as we'll as spiritual
rights. The glove became so associated
with Episcopal authority that at different
times the wearing Of gloves was absolute
ly prohibited to the lower clergy. While
one council issued this edict another de-
clared that monks should only presume
to wear gloves of common sheepskin.
Episcopal gloves were often richly
adorned, as we may gather from the fact
that Bishop Recalfus, dying in the year
915, bequeathed a pair of gloves in his
will. For the word glove it would ap-
pear that we are indebted to the Iceland

TO BURN THE COAL.
Admiral SIMPSONS Principal OBJ
ject in Bombarding San
Juan.

Washington, D. c., May 14-No official
report has been received here confirming
the published statement that the city and
Notifications of San Juan had surren-
dered to Sampson, nor is any expected,
for the reason that the statement is not
given credence in official circles. The
result of the engagement st San Juan, so
far as is indicated by official reports, was
not altogether satisfactory, inasmuch as
one of the principal objects of the expedi-
ton was the burning of a large quantity
of coal stored there for use Of the Span
ish feet.
Before he had been able to fully ac-
cOmplish the destruction of the fortifica-
tons and the coal supply the admiral, it
is believed here, thought it prudent to
withdraw his fleet through fear of having
one or more of his vessels disabled pend
ing the more important contest with the
Spanish fleet. His judgment in this mat
ter is favOrably commented upon, but the
officials express regret that the immense
coal piles of the enemy were not fired
Yesterday the officials were jubilant over
the news that the Spaniards had been To-
Gated at last at Martinique. Today, how
ever, the mystery is almost as deep as
ever, and the situation is one of uncer
tainty as to the present whereabouts and
purpose of the expedition into these wa
ters. News from Sampson is anxiously
awaited.

SECOND CALL CERTAIN.
Will Need 100000 More Men to
Hold Cuba and the
Philippines.

Washington, D. c.. May 16.-"There
will unquestionably be a second call for
volunteers" says a well-known Western
Republican senator who holds intima tie
personal relations with Secretary of War
Alger. 'To properly hold the Philippine
Islands, he continued. 1--WE shall find 3d.
900 to $4,000 none too many.
TO clean up matters in Cuba in a
quick manner we shall need not far from
100000. With the regulars and voIun-
teers already in the field, we find our
selves short about 10000 men. | under
stand that the President is considering a
call of 100000 additional volunteers.
also understand that the secretary of war
and Gen. Miles agree with the President
that the call is q timely one
Secretary Long has found it necessary
to issue a general order calling the at
tention of enlisted men particularly to the
uselessness of employing attorneys in set
Ting any questions of pay, bounty, prize
allowance, or claims in general. All that
Is possible to be gained may be accom-
pished by writing to the auditor for the
navy department, who is stationed in the
treasury department.
Another general order has been issued
requiring that all officers shall furnish the
navy department with the name and adj
dress of the nearest rela tive or the per-
son to whom advices should be sent in the
event of disaster.

WHAT is POLO DOING Z?
Canada Feels Bit Uneasy About
the Presence of SPANS
ex-MiniSter

Toronto, Ont, May 16.-The Globe
Government organ commenting editorial
ly on the stay of Senior Polo Bernabe
IN Canada says:
With Canada's limited diplomatic ex-
perience there is u feeling of hesitation
about prOnouncing a positive opinion as
to the propriety of the continued stay of
the eX-minister in Canada. But some
light may be thrown on the question by
asking what would have been thought in
Spain and throughout Europe if the
American minister to Spain. after receiy-
ing his passports, had remained in Portu-
gal instead of coming home. The pro-
ceeding would have been regarded as
very unusual and would have Occasioned
good deal of comment and inquiry, and
probably a demand for explanations.
What are the ex-minister and his staff
doing here, is very natural question to
ask, and they can hardly complain if the
cOmmOnly-accepted view is that they
must be here for the purpose of obtaining
information that may be of use to Spain.

ENTIRE CAPITULATION.
Message Which President Mckin-
ley Received Via Hayti, Re-
garding San Juan.

New York, May IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: 'Presi-
dent Mckinley received a dispatch last
night, which came through Haytien
sources. announcing the complete capitu-
lation of the city and forts of San Juan
de Puerto Rico"
The dispatch was Immediately commu-
nicated to Secretary Long, who present
ed it to the naval strategy board, which
was then in session.
Secretary Long was seen a few mo-
ments after the receipt of the dispatch in
question, but he would not say who sent
it. He acknowledged it's receipt, how
ever, and supplemented the Presidents
declaration of faith in it's authenticity.
The strategy boad, Immediately upon
the receipt Of the dispatch, discussed it's
contents, but nothing could be learned re-
garding it's action.
1t was stated by Secretary Long that the
dispatch was not from Admiral Sampson
and that the last communicate he had
had from him was the dispatch of yes
terday morning.
1t is understood that the dispatch came
through rep resentatives Of the Haytien
government in New York and was com
municated to the President by an officer
of the United States signal corps sta
toned at Governors island.

Do you remember what Buckle wrote
Of Spain? 'There she lies at the further
extremity Of the continent huge and
torpid mass, the only representative now
remaining of the feelings and the knowl-
edge of the Middle Ages. And, what is
the worst symptom of all, she is satisfied
with her own condition. Though she is
the most backward country in Europe,
she believes herself to be the foremost.
