without a Chinamsn.

This city had but one Chinaman
aud he has committed suicide with
out leaving any reason for the rash
act. His name. as is generally well
known, was John kaey. He came
here from DodgeviIle about a year
ago and established himself in the
laundry business. He committed
suicide by taking dose of poison
some time Tuesday night, and be-
ing alone in his laundry (where he
slept) the fact was not discovered
until late yesterday "Wednesday
morning, when samuel Sims, who
owns the building, on being informed
by one who works there that John
did not show up as usual, entered the
place in company with samuel Ter
rill, and they found John IN his bed
cold and stiff with shoes and pants
on, in drawn or cramped position,
and blood stained froth escaping
from his mouth. He was young, be-
ing about u years of age, genial, IN
dustrious and far more Americanized
than the average Chinaman. 1T is
understood he has an uncle at Wau-
sau, this state, and that he has been
telegraphed for.

ALUMINIUM IN LITH0GRApHY.
Plate Over the Cumbersome
Stone.

A steady demand for aluminium ID
springing up in various kinds of print
ing processes, as well as in TYPOGRAPHY.
When its surface is properly prepared
IT is capable of replacing the ordinary
photographic stone. The advantage of
having, instead of cumbrous and heavy
stones, which can be printed only on
special slow-running "litho" machines,
thin sheets of metal, which can be bent
into circular form and printed on ro-
tary presses, is evident. In Germany
five-pound sheets of aluminium are be-
ing used as substitute for the usual
Solenhofen limestone slabs, weighing
50 to 100 pounds. After being polished
with ground pumice, the aluminium
sheets are dried and washed with a
patent acid solution, and after second
drying are ready for the imprint. The
sheets cost only one-third of the stone;
to correct an error the ink has simply
to be washed out with acid; there is no
liability to fracture under heavy pres
sure; and both space in storage and
labor in handling are saved. The quail
ity of work done Gu the metal plates is
excellent, and many establishments in
this country are now using aluminium
plates and rotary presses.

LYING ABOUT JAMAICA.
the Island in Some of Car Amer.
icnn Newspapers.

The authorities OF jamaica have been
greatly disturbed by alleged news,
printed in this country. Some of these
items, says the New York Sun, have re-
ported that severe drought has caused
widespread distress; that the coffee,
orange and corn crops have been de-
stroyed and famine impends; that tie
starving country people are fleeing into
the towns; that the use of putrid water
has caused an outbreak of typhoid ma
larial fever, and so on. These state
ments were all very inaccurate and
some of them entirely false, and were
calculated to injure the island by pro-
ducing a most unfavorable impression
in regard to its condition.
Colonial Secretary Evans, therefore,
wrote to Vice Consul Springer calling
attention TO these erroneous statements
and asked him if he could assist the
Jamaican government to put a stop to
such continued misrepresentation, or
at least to counteract their injurious
influence. He said they were already
doing much mischief to the colony.
The vice consul accordingly sent
specimens of these falsehoods, together
with the letter which Mr.. Evans had
written to him, to our state department
end they have just appeared in our con-
isalar reports. Somebody seems to be
interested in libeling Jamaica, and has
found medium in this country for the
;,romulgation of his falsehoods.

DEWEY AS A BOY.


Al . boy George Dewey was alert,
bright and vivacious. He was not .
hard student. He was often mischiey-
Gus, but never malicious. says one Of
his biographers. He was fond Of all
outdoor sports, and was not averse to a
fist fight when he considered that he
was in the right. But he never pitched
into a lad smaller than himself. He
was always on the side Of the weak
against the bully. Mary Dewey, his
sister, was his frequent companion IL
the Eailder amuseInents of his early
boyhood. She remembers that he was
always chiyalrous ard kindly to her
and the other girls. She has said that
even as child he was never afraid of
the dark.
when his sister emphasized this
characteristic" says Mr.. Barrett, who
tells the story. 81 thought of the dark
pia and sailed into Manila bay past Cor,
regidor, without fear or hesitation"
During his first year at Annapolis
Dewey did not hold any high rank. He
was not exactly INDECENT, but he was so
engrossed with the pleasures of stu
dent life and its gocd comradeship that
,he had little time left for plodding. He
took in good part, however, a letter
from his father urging on him more
assiduity to study. and, as result,
when graduation day came he was
third in his class, with Howell and
Reed respectively first and second.

When the foolish man wants to
sell OR buy anything he rides all over
the country in the hot sun looking
for the party of the second part.
The wise man puts few lines in the
newspaper and lets them go all over
the country for him, while he sits in
the shade or goes along about his
business. Whenever any man has a
COW or horse, calf or farm tool to sell
there is some other man somewhere
who il waiting to buy the thing, but
these two men might travel a week
and not find each other. AdYertis-
ing brings them together every time.

Arizona Seeks Statehood.

Arizona people believe that the CEN
Hus OF 1900 will show sufficient popu-
lation to warrant the admission of the
territory to the union. Arizona had
is made that the territory has doubled
in population since then. Increased
activity in mining and the development
of copper and gold mines is respon-
sible for the increase Yet, even if
Arizona should have as many as 120,-

ton adopted in 1893. New Mexico,

Santa FEES Racing Locomotive.
Work has been commenced at the
Santa Fe shops in Topeka on two
tandem compound locomotives that
are expected to display wonderful
power coupled with great economy
in the hauling of Santa Fe passenger
trains. The plans were designed by
John Player, superintendent of ma
chinery of the road. The new loco
motives will have driving wheels
seventy-seven inches in diameter.
If the new locomotives prove all that
is expected of them the Santa Fe
management will likely use one Of
them to an attempt to break the long
distance worlds record for fast
running. This record is o fraction
over sixty-six miles per hour, exclu-
sive of stops, for a distance of some
thing over 400 miles. General Sup
erintendent Nudge announced some
time ago that he believed he could
break the worlds record for 200
miles with an ordinary passenger
engine on the stretch of track from
La Junta to Dodge City. With one
of the locomotives now building it is
believed that q train can be taken
from La Junta to Emporia, 429 miles,
at greater ratio a mile than the rec
ord now standing. The new locomo-
tives will probably not be turned out
of the shops until after the first of
the year.-La Junta Tribune.

While it is true that Dewey won
everlasting fame in one stroke at Ma
Mia Bay, it should not be forgotten
that it took more than forty years OF
painstaking preparation to be ready
for the occasion that presented itself
on that notable May morning. A
course at West Point, his experience
with Farragut during the civil war,
the lying in foreign ports in the pub
lies interests, during which time he
diligently studied naval militairism,
all conspired to make Dewey a man
that needed only an opportunity to
make him famous.
Daniel Webster in his wonderful
reply to Robert Young Haynee placed
himself upon the very pinnacle Of
lame in less than three hours time,
and yet on being complimented for his
noble effort, for which he had but one
night to prepare, replied, s'That was
not an impromptu speech, but one 1
have been preparing for thirty
years" His conflict in overcoming
embarrassment when on the little
county school rostrum, his rigid
cultivation of the memory, his rrevi-
Gus public career, all were necessary
to make a man able to produce a
masterpiece with only a night for
preparation. To these two mon. as
to many others. the accumulated ex-
perience and knowledge obtained
through years of hard, uneasy work
IN their respective lines was made
use ct at q supremely fit moment.
And thus again was it exemplified
that "There is no excellence without
great labor"
