The illness which caused the death of

MIR. Pillsbury's Career.
Charles Alfred Pillsbury was born at
Warner, Merrimac county, New Hamp-
shire. Oct. 8, ls42. At the age 81 he
graduated from Dartmouth college,
having diversified his collegiate studies
with teaching as q means of partial
self-support. He went to Montreal,
where for six years he was engaged in
mercantile pursuits, most of the time
as clerk. Sept. 10, 1866, he married
Miss Mary A. stinson of Goffstown, N.
H. Three years later he came to Min
neapolis and soon afterwards bought an
interest in flour mill at St. Anthony

with him his father, George A. Pills.

Action of the C,unoil OF Ministers Will
Soon Liberate Dreyfus.
PARIS, Sept. 2O.-The council of min.
listers has decided to pardon Dreyfus in
principle. The pardon will take effect
in few days. Dreyfus has relinquished
his appeal for reversal of the judg.
ment of the courtmartial.
1t is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the PRONUNCIATION of his
pardon, in order to avoid domonstra-
tions.
The announcement that Dreyfus was
to be pardoned had already been dis
counted by predictions and there was
absolutely no excitement displayed
along the boulevards when the news
boys ran along at about 3:15 p. IN. with
the first editions containing the state
ment that the cabinet had decided to
pardon Dreyfus. The newspapers sold
quickly, but there was no rush for them
on the part of the boulevardiers.
Those who bought the papers sat
down in front Of the cafes and read the
announcement without comment.
Everyone expected it and the decision
met with no opposition.
Droits del Honme, the Socialist Or
gan, said: "Our task remains the same
after as before the liberation of Drey-
fus, to continue the campaign against
all those responsible for the lamentable
affair.""

An Eye Easily Blinded.

Here is a funny little story from far
away Ceylon. A tea planter who had
glass eye was dcsirous Of going away
with a friend, but lie knew that as soon
as the natives who were at work on
the plantation heard that he had gone
they would not do n stroke of work
How was he to get off? That was the
question. After much thought an idea
struck him. Going up to the men, he
addressed them thus:
although I myself will be absent,
vet l shall leave one Of my eyes to see
that you do your work."
And much to the surprise and be-
wilderment Of the natives he took out
the glass eye and placed it on the
stump Of a tree and left. For some
time the men worked like beavers,
now and then casting furtive glances
ut the eye to sec if it was still watch
ing, but ut last one Of them, selling his
tin, in which he carried his food, ap-
preached the tree and gently placed It
over the eye. AS soon as they were
not being watched they all lay down
and slept peacefully until sunset.

An Awful Ordeal,

Once in a year, and at one place in
the world, there is crush that sur
passes anything else Of it's kind in the
world. 1t is the great fair Of Bawa
Farid, which is annually held in the
town Of PAX Pattan, in British India.
1t is held in honor Of the famous st.
Farid-ud-Din, surnamed Shakar CAM,
or sugar store, from the fact that his
body had become so pure by continual
fasting that whatever was put into his
mouth, even earth and stones, was in
stantly changed into sugar.
The principal ceremony consists Of
passing through IN opening made in a
wall adjoining the shrine, measuring
feet by 2A feet, and called "The
Gates Of Paradise"
Whoever between noon and night is
able to pass through this opening is as
sured Of paradise, and when there are
10000 striving to pass through at the
same time the crush is something ter
rifle. Women faint, bones are broken,
and the heat is sitting.

Filipinos Request Permission to Confer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-A cablegram
has been received at the war depart
ment from General Otis, relative to the
American prisoners in the hands of the
insurgents. General Otis says that
General Macarthur has been ap-
preached by prominent Filipino, who
asked if he were willing to enter into
negotiations with Aguinaldo for the re-
lease of American prisoners held by the
Filipinos. He also asked whether Gen
eral Macarthur would permit Fill
pino army officer to pass through the
American lines in order that he might
confer with General Otis. While no
names are mentioned in the dispatch,
it is inferred that included in the list of
American prisoners to whom the nego-
tiations relate are Lieutenant Gilmore
aud the Is men of the Yorktown who
were captured by the insurgents on the
east coast of Luzon, Major Rockefeller,
who was captured beyond the Amer
ican lines one night shortly after his
arrival in the Philippines, and about
half dozen private soldiers who have
been reported missing.

Time and Allow Troop. Now on the
Way to Reach South Africa - Both
Sides Continue Preparations for Hos
tilities.
LONDON, Sept. 20.-Summons were
Issued late in the afternoon for a cab
met council, which, it is expected, will
be held on Friday. This is regarded as
the result of the visit of the premier,
Lord Salisbury, to London, remaining
at the foreign Office from to $50 p. nj.
Mr.. Chamberlain was present in the
building at the same time and it is sup
posed that the summons was the result
of the meeting. 1t is by no means GER
tain that the cabinet council will adopt
extreme measures, in spite of the un-
compromising nature of the Boer reply.
This deliberation on the part of the
government is interpreted not only in
London, but in other European cap
itals, as desire on the part of Great
Britain to gain time while the trans
ports are hurrying to Cape Colony.
In the meantime the movement of
troops proceeds. The Royal West Sur
rey regiment left during the day for
Malta, where it will replace the First
Border regiment. which goes by the
same steamer to Natal.
1t is announced that the British first
class armored cruisers Terrible and
Powerful have both been ordered to
the Cape. They have reliefs on board
capable of forming a naval brigade of
1000 men.

See How Long You VIII Live.

There is very simple rule for find
ing the average number Of years which
persons Of any age may expect to live.
If the present age be deducted from
80, two-thirds Of the remainder is the
answer required. This result is not
absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, a man aged 90
might by this rule expect to live 40
years longer, which is just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the
expectation of life works out at nearly
q years, while the tables give it as
more than 25 years. At 60 the above
rule allows just over 13 years, and the
