A Plea for the Birds,

The birds of the air call for volun-
teers TO provide shelter and protection
for them during the cruel war waged
against them.
$3.50 Now that the College and the public
schools of this city are closing their
doors for a brief rest, and that the
teachers have time to think and plan
as to what. isatO be taught the coming
school year, may each educator while
getting comfort and inspiration from
fHutf feathered songsters, devise and
"Aaa0pt some system of cooperation
whereby the youth of this the, city
that is expected TO set good example
before the other cities of Ohio, may be
thoroughly taught to provide for and
protect the birds and their nests, also
to make the popular sentiment against
the wearing of birds and aigrettes, as
millinery decorations so strong. that
no real leady would wish 10 appear be-
fore her children or the public with
any part of a murdered songster
about her hat or upon her millinery
counters. Let Paris lead in the fash
lonable world, but do not allow them
to make war against our beautiful
birds. America without birds would

educator, also preachers and Sunday
School teachers, ought to lift their
their voices as they have had to TO
stop other great evils.

The Annual Petroleum Production Of
ihe Fniire World,

Washington, June 11.--Over FIVE bill
lion gallons of petroleum, according to
the treasury bureau statistics, are now
this amount two and One-haf billions
are produced in the United States, two
and one-fourth billions in Russia, and
the remainder is distributed among a
dozen countries, Austria producing
S7,0O0,OO0; SumatTa 72,000,000; Java
10000, 900; Canada $4,000, 900; Rou-
mania 24,OOO,O0O; India $4,000, 600;
Japan 100000; Germany 100000;
Peru 100000 and Italy about 1,0O0,-
900 gallons
While the United States and Russia
furnish the bulk of the worlds petrol
cum and stand almost abreast in the
quantity of crude oil product, the
amount of refined illuminating oil sup
piled by the United States is more than
double that produced by Russia. This
is due to the fact that given quantity
of United States oil produces three
tourths of its bulk in refined illumin-
ating oil, while the same quantity of
Russian oil produces only about three
eights of its bulk in refined illuminat
ing oil. Sumatra next to Russia is the
most formidable competitor of the
growth in its production of oil, the
fact that It's crude oil produces half OF
their quantity in refined Illuminating
oil and the further fact that they are
much nearer to the orient, the coun-
tries of which form an important part
OF the worlds markets for Dhis class of
expectations, Up to the present time
however, the quantity of oil produced
in Sumatra is small compared with
that of the United States and Russia
its figures for 1897 being only 72,25S,-
900 gallons against 2,543,OOO, 900 gal
Ions for the United States.
The United Kingdom is the largest
consumer of mineral oils exported by
the United States, our total export to
that country in the last fiscal year be-
ing 2l2, ,265, ,563 gallons, against 1885,
2O3, ,222 to Germany, 53,39S, ,1l5 to Japan
44,523, ,552 to China, 2O,561 ,OS4 to Bra
zil, 2O,495, 398 to British Australasia,
1885, ,631 to France, and 6O,431 ,316
gallons to other European nations.

Breaking Into Ohio.

The Eastern newspapers which are
hostile to the president are breaking
into the Ohio situation, as they we're
expected to do in.the effort to make Il
appear that Judge Nashs nomination
was brought about through a bargain
which involved considerations of fed
eral patronage
OF course, the Republicans of Ohio
will not be Influenced by such talk, for
they know it is not true. AS a matter
OF fact there was NO bargain, as The
Leader has said. Just as soon as 1t
became apparent that Judge Nash con
trolled the situation the opposition to
him melted away, and Those who had
been opposing him fell into line Cox,
of Cincinnati, who is credited with
having made a bargain of which feder-
al patronage was the chief considera-
tion, had absolutely nothing to ask in
the way of patronage. All the offices
in which Cox is interested have been
hlled. All he got from uhe convention
was the. nomination of Congressman
John A. Caldwell for lieutenant COVER
nor, and there is no good reason why
the Republicans should not have given
that, because Mr.. Caldwell is man in
every way fitted for The place.
1t will nuke little difference what
the enemies OF the president say. Har-
mony has been restored in the Repub-
lican party in Ohio. All the former
leaders and factions are falling into
line. and the party will move forward
united and harmonious to victory in
November. That is condition of af-
fairs which is certain to be displeaslng
to the Democrats and mugwumps, but
it was not the purpose of Ohio Repub-
licans to satisfy them-Cleveland

Claims Il Was nSingIa Iax.n-

Editor Leader-Probably the large
audience that listened with such rapt
attention to the Baecalaureate sermon
by Rev. E. X. Mitchell, at the Congre-
gational church Sunday afternoon, did
not know that it was Henry George
or Single Tax" throughout; yet such
it was. When the speaker announced
his text, "The truth shall make you
free" my thoughts went Immediately
to Henry George, and SO closely did he
follow his ideas that when he said
perfect liberty and perfect freedom
consist in perfect obedience to the nat
ural law of God" l thought Henry
George himself would not have said it
otherwise. From beginning to end il
was a sermon to be understood and ap-
preeiated fully only by student of
Henry George.

NITRO-GLYCERlNE
Lets Go Near Moore's Junction, and
Loss of Life and Property Ensues.

At O'Clock Tuesday afternoon the
citizens of Marietta heard detona-
tbon of an unusual quality which sug-
gested that an explosion of great pro-
portions had taken place over to the
west of town. 1t was not long until
a Telephone rlLg from Col T. w.
Moores announced the fact that ter
rible casualty had taken place at the
works of the Marietta Torpedo Com
pany,
A visit to the spot developed the fol-
lowing facts:
What a few minutets prior to the
explosion was the nitro glycerine
works of the Marietta Torpedo Comp
any was most complete wreck. 1t
was absolutely reduced to kindling
wood. The buildings were brand new,
and had only been in use few days,
and they contained complete equip
ment for the manufacture of the dan
egrous product Scattered about a rad
ius of 100 feet was the pulverlzed
wreckage.
The most narrowing circumstance
connected with the event was the in
stant death of two men, Calvin Hart
and Clyde Porter, both employees OF
the Torpedo Company. These two
men had driven cut to the works, and
1t is surmised THAI Porter was loading
The waon when the accident occurred.
The shock was such that the wagon
was blown to atoms, and the horses,
somewhat dismembered, were blown a
distance of 100 feet from the spot
where they stood while loading.
Porter was evidently near the fluid
when it exploded, for his body was
badly mangled and dismembered, and
only a portion of 1.-THE trunk, foot,
and other smaller portions was found.
The remains were brought to Mari
eta by undertaken Fuller, and were
prepared for burial.
Porter was unmarried, and was 21
years of age. He was employed by the
company as one of their drivers.
Hart was man about As years of
age and leaves a wife and one child.
He resided on Butler street, between
| Third and Fourth, in one of the Cline
houses. He was employed by the COM
pany to care for the horses, and his
visit to the works Monday was his first
one.
! A peculiar feature of the result of
the explosion was the complete loss of
leaves by the trees near by The To-
cation is in a hollow, and the air was
confined to a greater degree than it
would have been on a level. The ris-
ing ground on either side must have
acted with good effect as a buffer, and
the rush OF wind from the instant ex-
pansfon of the gas completely barred
the trees of their foliage
1ne loss TO the Torpedo Company is
heavy one, the buildings and great
deal of the equipment being new.
There were on the premises 12S quarts
of glycerine.
One OF the horses killed was the
property of J. L. Reckard, the livery
man.

TELEPHONE ALONG ERIE CANAL.

ALBANY, N. ", June 2, ~1S9s.-Super-
intendent of Public Works Partridge will
grant permission to the Hudson River
Power Transmission Company to erect
poles and string wires along the canal
provided the State is permitted to place
the telephone and telegraph wires along
the poles.
Three years ago, Superintendent Al
bridge conceived the idea of having the
State build a State telephone line along
the canal so as to connect all of the feed
ers and reservoirs with the department.
An appropriation was made for the work
but upon the investigation itw as found
that it would cost too much to Install the
proposed system. and the scheme was
abandoned
The Power Company in its letter to the
Canal. Board, asks permission to string
the wires on the State property from the
north line of the village of Mechanics
vile, southerly to the end of the Cham
plain canal, and thence along the Erie
Canal to and into the city of Albany ana

E%nGLIsRMAN's SUICIDE.
He jumped From a Yaoht Into Lake
Michigan, Near Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 2, 1S99.-Regiald Heintz,
an English tourist. threw himself into
the lake last night from the private yacht
Peri. in which, with three Chicago
friends, he was sailing near the four mile
crib. Despite immediate and strenuous
efforts by his companions to rescue him
he was drowned and his body is in the
deep water near the crib. 1t was the
second attempt at suicide Heintz had
made within a few hours. While at the
office of a physician in the afternoon he
tried to cut his throat with a surgical in
strunent and was prevented only after a
struggle.
f. II. Skinner, a dentist. one of the men
in the boat with Heintz, told the police
that the Englishman was only a casual
acquaintance and that they were not even
aware of his address. Mr.. Skinner further
told the police that Heintz lived on small
remittances that were sent to him from
England; that he drank a good deal, and
that he thought it was a case of suicide.
Mr.. Heintze, it is said. came to Chicago
in February.
