 Less on XNI-'rhe Sheep, Lamb and Wm. Goat
 1-An old sheep and her young lamb were in the field where William Goat was letting the wind blow through his whiskers. 2-The sun was warm but the little lamb felt itself to be a good deal warmer thing than the sun, it fris-ked about and thought of becoming a candidate for Governor. 3-After a while it decided to have some fun with the goat, but the old sheep war ned the young lamb not to get gay with the animal, as William was usually load ed for Bear.
 4-"Aw, get off the earth, Mawi" said the playful little lamb. Just watch me butt the everlasting stuff-ing out of that shor,- tailed Rube!''
 5--All this time the goat was calmly chewing the marrow out of a chunk of pig iron, and thinking of the approaching State Fair.
 6-The lamb ran at the goat, intending to land a hot one in his slats, when he was not looking, but it found that William was residing at that number. 7-The butcher said the next day he would not buy mutton when it was all mom- mick-ed up in a railroad accident. S-Lttle boys and girls often go where they should not, and thus get hurt. Re- member that a William H. Goat is the best country butter.
 Ltss XXIv-Kitty and the Cops
 Once there was little kitty
 White as the snow
 In our block it used to frolc
 Long time ago.
 But the police got onto it,
 Busted in the ''doa,''

Paris. June 1S-The air to-day is fun

cessor of Nj. Dupuy as premier.
M. Polncare was the favorite this morn

dissolve the Chamber saying that If che
present deputies cannot or VIII not put
an end TO the parliamentary and govern

thing to perpetuate it, the President must
consult the country "at this moment when
preparing for a fresh ministerial crisis
under the bravest and most alarming cir
cumstances the country has traversed for
a long time past"
NJ. Poincare has been asked by NJ Lou
bet to return TO the Elysee Palace to-mor-
row morning, when it is expected a definite
proposal will be made To him to con-
struct.
1t is expected that NJ. Delcasse will in
sist on retaining the foreign office port
folio, rather than accepting that of the in
terror and that NJ. Bourgeois Win prefer
continuing a member OF the French dele
cation at The Hague TO accepting a cabi-
net post.
Eleven participants IN the cafe riots last
Sunday have been variously sentenced, the
maximum sentence being sixteen days inn
pTisonment.
Late this evening it developed that NJ.
Poincare, while he refused the premier
ship, intimated to the President that he
might enter the cabinet presided over by
M. Paul Deschanel, president of the
Chamber of Deputies, who had previously
been in conference with NJ. Loubet.
NJ. Poincare and Deschanel are con-
ferring with their friends this evening,

RESCUE OF THE HowEs' CREW.
The Men Hung TO the Fated Schooner
Like Grim Death

Norfolk, Va, June 13~-A yellow oil skin
coat attached to an oar and waved fran
tically by a desperate man prevented an
other of those tragedies of the sea, which,
although now familiar, are never heard
without shudder.
This man was a seaman on the schooner
George A. Howes, who lives in Beaufort,
N. c., and he, with his fellow sufferers,
were rescued by the schooner Jessie W..
Starr. All were brought to this city to-
day. The schooner Howes, Capt. Beveridge
and crew of six men left Patchogue, L..
l., last Thursday for Bogue Inlet, N. c.,
to load lumber.
When off Barnegat she was struck by a
squall and took in all her sails. Shortly
afterwards, or about $3.50 o'clock in the
evening, another heavy wind caught her
by surprise and capsized her almost i'm
mediately. The men climbed over the side
of the vesseE and hung on until rescued.
The last seen of the Howes she was drift
ing out to sea.
Capt. BeVeridge and all Of his men were
taken aboard OF the Starr, exhausted, IN
fact the cook tainted when he was hauled
over the rescuing schooner's raj The
SURVIVES saved only the clothes they stood
In and several had removed their shoes
that they might with more ease hold on 10
the slippery hull Of the wreck.
The entire crew of the Inflated schooner
live in Beaufort, N. c., where they viii be

FOUR YEARS IMPRISONMENT.
Sentence of Christiani for Striking
President IOubet


Paris, June 13.-Baron Christiani, who as
saulted President Loubet with a cane at
the Auteuil races, June 4, was sentenced
to serve four years Imprisonment.
Christiani was tried before the Correc-
tional Police Court. The judges denberat-
ed thirty-five minutes and delivered judg-
ment, saying that, according to the arti-
cles of the penal code under which Chris
tlani was sentenced, he was liable to from
two to five years Imprisonment.
There was general exclamation Of sur
four years imprisonmnt, and also 10 pay
the costs of the tria[. Christiani listened
unmoVed to his sentence.
The court in which the baron was tried
was one of the smallest halls in the Palace
of Justice. The room is panelled with oak
and behind the judges hangs a painting Of
the crucifiXion Christiani sat in The dock
beside policeman and only a few ticket
holders and other privileged persons were
allowed in the court room, which was all
most filled with policemen and municipal
guards
Christiani, who is above the medium
hight, has an iron gray moustache, wore
an eyeglass and was elegantly dressed.
Counsel for the Baron pleaded that the
prisoners act was not political one but
that he acted spontaneously, on the i'm
pulse of the moment, losing his head in
the midst of the scene of excitement
around.
In his own behalf the prisoner said he
did not belong to the Royalist Club nor
to the White Carnation Club and as
serted that his act was wholly unpremedi-
tated
The president procureur general M
Feulloley, contrOverted the statements of
the prisoner denying his act was premed-
itated, referring 70 the fact that De Chris
tiani, speaking to police inspector at the
time of his arrest, said:
IF there had been forty of US we would
have carried off the whole presidential
stand
There was no incident worth noting dur
ing the trial, but II appeared that the ma
jority of those present thought the sem
tence very severe, though it was not ex-
pected the prisoner would receive lenient
tratment

STORMS WORK WAS COMPLETE.
Few Buildings Left, and Few People
Escaped Uninjured.

EScapeu In1nJureus
St. Paul, June ia reporter of the
Dispatch, who went to New Richmond
last night, says:
The storm struck the town full in the
center, and in ten minutes awful de-
struction had been wrought. TheSlargest
brick blocks crumbled like eggshells. The
lighter frame structures were whsked
away like so much straw, and many
houses were carried for blocks and dashed
TO the earth.
Five hundred buildings, the finest in the
town, were demolished and when the
storm has passed, about the only struc-
lures of any notes left standing were the
Catholic and Baptist Churches.
Not a residence was left untouched, and
few people escaped without injury.
Lumber yards went up in the clouds, the
huge planks being split into shingles. The
large iron bridge over Apple river was
blown into fragments and the parts dis
tributed along the banks a half mile
away Two large iron safes were caught
I'D and carried a distance of a block
Legs and Arms Missing.
Within a space of few blocks lay doz-
ems of bodies Legs and arms were miss
ing in many cases, and one body was

All who sought refuge in cellars escap-
ed. In some cases these over whom
houses collapsed were entombed. To add
TO the horror of the situation, fires were
started here and there by overturning
stoves and many wounded, unable to drag
themselves out of the danger, suffered
death by burning.
Galiman Brothers circus was in New
Richmond yesterday, and the farmers from
the surrounding country, with their fami-
lies, had gathered TO see the show. A few
minutes before the storm struck, large
part of those who had just come from the
circus rushed TO a brick building close al
hand, where they tcok refuge.
rnis building was among those destroyed
and 1t is difficult TO say how many perish
ed there.

hands sought the cellar So far as known
most of those in ttis house were saved.

a. short distance below Saltwater, and laid
waste the entire country from that point
