DIVORCE IN THE KLoNDIKE.
A Little Irregular, II May De, hut u
rAceOInpIIshes the Desired Pur-
pose, Nevertheless.

Divorce procedure in the Klondike
may not be provided with all the mod
ern improvements, but 1t accomplishes
the desired purpose as effectually as
the most enlightened court in South
Dakota. AT Circle City not long ago,
says Law Notes, an Indian woman, El-
len by name, sought divorce from her
husband, one Finney, on the ground of
cruel and unusual punishment A
meeting Of the miners was called, and
about 60 of them assembled to deliber-
ate ON the case. 1t came out in the evil
dence that Ellen was so sturdy n lady
that her husband was forced to furnish
her with whisky in large quantities be-
fore he could beat her with any satls-
faction. Fnney admitted having given
her the whisky, but asserted that he
couldn't get along with her without
doing SO. He further alleged in his de-
fense that Ellen was the best dressed
squaw In Circle City. After careful de-
liberation the miners decided unani-
mously to release Ellen vinculo mat
rimoni. She was also awarded the dog
and the sewing machine as alimopy.

PASSING OF THE CANAL.
Rapid Extension OF Railways Crowd
ing the Artificial Waterways
Out of n Paying Existence.

Because of the rapid extension of
railways and sharp competition. the
canals CT the world that are paying
Investments are few.
The great Suez canal had a steadily
increasing tonnage from its completion
In 1869 till 1891. when the highest fig
ure was reached, and, Notwithstanding
its exceptional geographical advantage,
its tonnage has since shown only a
comparatively small change. but that
change is decrease.
/ The Ameriean-Canadian canal, con-
Meeting Lake Superior with the lower
lakes, continues to show greater gain
than the Suez waterway. In II years
the annual increase In its tonnage has
exceeded 100000 tons.
OF lesser waterways, the New York
state canals have had steady decrease
in business since 1896 the Welland ca
nal has fallen off largely both In gen
eral freight and that of United States
ports passing through it; and the Kali
ser Wilhelm canal, now In Its fourth
season, has made notable gains.

The Boston Lyric Opera Company

The second great event of the sea-
son will take place at the Auditorium
Feb. 2S, with the return engagement of
the famous Lyric Opera Co. in "The
Black Hussar," as the attraction it
will prove to be an event of consider
able importance in musical and dra-
matte circles of this city, the members
of which are at all times ready with a
royal welcome for organizations of the
established reputation in this city of
the Boston Lyric, anu that they will be
on hand to give assurance OF this ap-
probation, goes without saying.
The Boston Lyric Opera Co. it with
out question the best organization
producing repertoire opera now before
the public. 1t not only has reputa-
ton for lavish display of costuming,
scenic and calcium effects, general ap-
pointments, etc., but also in every de-
tail, no matter how small it may be, is
attended to, so that perfect produc-
tion of every opera in its repertoire is
in order and can be depended on by

LONG JOURNEY FOR woRM
Rrof. wiiIIann NJ. woodwerth 1rave1s
seven ThOUsabd Miles for
So. Qaeet Creature.

Prok william M. Woodwortb. OF
Harvard, came up from Samoa on the
Alameda, Gays the San Francisco Ex
amiuer. He accompanied the Agassiz
scientific expedition to the South Sea
islands year or 50 ago, and this sec
ond visit was made in the interests Of
the museum OF comparative anatomy
of Harvard, to investigate the "palolo,"
a curious marine worm which has long
been a scientific mystery.
"The palolo, which is found near the
Fiji and Samoan islands,". said Mr..
Woodwork, measures 12 to IA inches
in length and Is about the thickness OF
wooden yarn. On two days in the year
the sea Is thick with II. like vermiceli
soup. The natives bake it in bread
fruit, and esteem lta great delicacy. II
looks like spinach and tastes fishy.
"only twice in the year does the
palolo come TO the surface, in October
and November, and then only at sun
rise on the tenth day after the full
moon. The natives gather from great
distances and make festival of the
occasion. The weather, which Is in
variably bad at that time, is known as
'palolo weather. and October and No
vember are known respectively as the
month OF the little palolo' and the
month of the big palolo,' because OF
the greater quantity Of palolo that ap-
pear in the latter month.
"The palolo has never been scien-
ufically classified, though Fricklander
was on the right track when he hazard
ed guess In 1896. II is an annelid
marine worm, living on coral rocks. 1
detached several specimens from the
rocks below the surface, and found that
the palolo is really only the tail of the
creature. The stock, so to speak, on
which the palolo grows is sea worm
resembling those that bore in the piles
along San Francisco bay, and the long
appendage is thrown off at the breeding
seasons"

DRUGGISTS ERRORS.
Due In Many Cases to overwOrked
Condition Of Clerks.
Statement Made That 100 Persons Are
Fatally Poisoned Every Year
IN New York city OwIng
to Mistakes.

New York city has Druggists
League for Shorter Hours of Labor, and
its secretary, Edward Thimme, makes
a plea In behalf of legislation which
will not, only protect druggists clerks
and employees from working over hours,
but will guarantee the public against
the dangerous consequences OF such
labor.
The New York Herald quotes Mr..
Thimme TO the effect that upward OF
100 persons are fatally poisoned in that
city every year through the mistakes
of druggists In substituting one drug
for another. This Is a startling state
ment. and IL IL even approximates the
truth there is urgent need of instituting
some remediable action In behalf OF
the public. The following list is given
purporting to show some of the deadly
substitutes made by druggists by mis-
take in serving their customers;
Acetanelid for phanacetine.
Morphine for quinine.
Chloride OF potash for Rochelle salts.
saltpeter for EPSON salts.
Corrosive sublimate for calomel
Iodine for aletrls cordial.
Carbolic acid for alcohol
Oxalic acid for EPSON salts.
Arsenic for powdered sugar.
Strycbnine for valerianate OF duinine.
Carbollc acid for boracic acid.
Laudanum for paregoric.
It is claimed by the league that most
OF these and other errors are made by
clerks who are not In possession of their
best faculties when making up their
prescriptions, the result either OF ex-
haustion brought about by long hours
or of the use of stimulants taken TO
excite their tagging powers. Mr..
Thimme in recent address said that
during the four years ending with July
/. 1893, 10 drug clerks had committed
suicide in New York, and seven Others
had attempted to do SO, owing TO the
physical condition into which the use
of stint ulating drugs had brought them

PILING COIN BAGS
Expert ut Subtreasury at PhiIadeI-
phia Who Can Stack silver
SO IL Will Stay.

There is one expert in Philadelphia
who, 1t is safe to say, stands entirely
alone In his specially. He is james
Toughill, who has charge of the piling
of coin bags at the subtreasury. Not
only does he have charge Of the piling
of the bags, but he does 1t all himself,
for there is secret connected with
this work that is known to only one
man besides the Philadelphia expert in
the country. II does not seem at first
glance to be very difficult task, but
those who have tried it and failed can
be counted by hundreds, while the first
man to do the work properly without
q knowledge of the secret being i'm
parted to him is yet to be named. Not
so many years ago there was only one
person In the country who could do the
work.
Where he obtained his exclusive
knowledge no one knows. On a trip to
Philadelphia he met Toughill and the
two became fast friends. AS mark of
his esteem. the original expert taught
Toughill the art Of piling up money Sc
curely, and that is as far as the knowl-
edge has been extended. The work con-
sists In piling up bags of silver con-
tanning one thousand silver dollars each
as high as the vault will permit. When.
built by the experts this silver wall is
us solid and substantial as If built of
bricks and mortar. says the Phila-
delphia Record. II one of these walls
should be constructed on wrong princi-
Piles IL would surely fall, and fall
usually means serious injury TO some
one Many men have been hurt In at
tempting TO learn the art, and now
Toughill and his friend, who is in the
west, occupy the field alone.

in TaTrytowA-on-tlfe Hudson. Miss
Gould feeeHely attended service at the

pressed with the little structure and
its young pastor, ReVsRichard d. Coons.
The fact that there@is is a roadhouse a
short distance from the church, and
that 1t is freqdented by the young
men of the settlement, was brought TO
Miss Gpuld's attention, and II is be-
lieved her object in making the con-

The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1899-1900, 1899-05-24


This gives base for each rail to rest
upon little over a foot wide. The rails
are tied together every eight or ten feet
by means of bars or cross ties, d, which
are bolted to the bottoms of the rails.
This road has been tried but little. 1t
was laid only a month or so before the
ground froze last fall. The first expert
ment of trying it with dirt or gravel
surfacing material showed that it was
not success, as the wheels of the
wagon would run off the track and cut
into the gravel or dirt. The edges of the
rails being smooth, the wheels would
not come back onto the track readily.
Broken stone and cobble stones were
then used and helped to return the
wheels to the track, these stones being
laid both inside and outside of each rail,
as shown at g.
The steel would probably cost $500
per mile. 1t would work much better
with macadam between the tracks and
for foot or two on either side. This
would bring the cost up to the cost Of
macadam. 1t may be that the rails can
be made in some different form that
will hold the wheels on the track, and so
constructed that the wheels will easily
come back on to the track when in a
rut beside the rails, though it is quite
likely that stone will be necessary to ac-
complish this last. - Orange Judd
Farmer.

WHAT ALLIED THE SAW.
cials Who Know Nothing About
Their Business.

Several townships in the vicinity of
Laconia, N. H., are said to be dissatis-
fed with the new system of maintain
ing the highways and wish to so back
to the old highway district system.
The Laconia Democrat says the new
system is all right and adds: Some of
the towns near here are loud in their de-
nunciations of the present law, but
come to investigate it is either a case
where no money is raised or like the
man and the saw. A carpenter went to
professional saw-filer with hand
saw to be fixed; the professional joint
ed, set it and filed it. In short time the
carpenter came back and said he: This
saw don't go right. The old filer joint
ed it again and filed it as well as he
could. The next morning the carpenter
came back with the saw, and in the
same language: This saw don't go
right The professional took it, put on
his glasses and sawed off several piHes
of timber and it cut true and very nice
ly. He handed il back to the man and
said he: The trouble is not so much
with the saw as the burned fool that
runs it, Where the law does not work
right it is not the fault of the law but
the men that run it; thousand times
rather shift officers than vote to go
| back"

Trenchinr Land for Crops.

Years ago English farm papers had
much to say about the advantage of
trenching land, especially in, gardens,
instead of plowing it, Labor on the
farm has always been SO cheap that
trenching or hand digging of land is
often resorted to to give employment
TO labor at low rates. 1t is waste of
labor mostly, for the hand digging of
trenches does not fit the soil any better
for crops than will the subsoil plow,
which merely follows the surface plow,
pulverizing the subsoil without bring
ing it up. In fact, the subsoil plow,
except on the very richest land, does
better work than can be done by trench
ing. In hand digging much of the sub
soil is pretty sure to be mixed with
surface soil, Only very rich soil can
bear such mixture without injury to the
first crop after it has been done.
