The death of Robert G.. Inger-

recorded as of July 21st, 1899 at
his home in Dobb's Ferry, n. Y.
He died from apoplexy.
On Friday morning he COM

his wife offered to have his lun-

laughingly replied that he was not
an invalid yet. AS he finished
speaking and was about to rise
he fell back into his chair. A
physician was called but he was
dead before anything could be
done for him. The doctor did not
give the cause of death, but the

AS corroborative evidence of the
truthfulness of this story, the
British tramp steamship Scottish
Prince, from Brazilian ports,
brought into port yesterday the
tail of the shark. It may be in
ferred that this is a fish story.
The skipper, Captain Dobson,
wishes it understood, however,
that he does not regard the shark
as a fish. He says no fish would
eat two fathoms of chain. He in

elasmobranchiate; a plagiostomous

lous turbellarians with no otoliths.
Regarding this statement, the
mate remarked that he believed in
discipline aboard ship, and would,
therefore, not dispute the skipper.
AS for the sailors, they agree that
the shark was just as long, and

The British steamer Kentizera,
a few days ago brought the first
cargo of silver ore from South
America. She landed 1928 sacks
of high grade ore and 600 bars of
pig silver, valued at over $4,000.
The silver comes from mines high
up in the mountains of Bolivia,
and is carried on mule back many
miles to the seaboard; but it's great
richness pays all expenses.
This is better than Alaska and

tempt to do corporal hurt to
another with violence and, force,
with or without weapons.
Battery, in criminal law means
the beating or wounding Of anoth-

line between the different degrees
but the remedy may be civil for
damages; in which case it would
not be a felony-but by indict-
ment before the Grand Jury as
for a misdemeanor. Penalty is;

"London now has a population
of 5,65O,OOO, and it is figured that
at the present rate of growth it
will have 100000 in 1941.-
Minneapolis Weekly Mirror"
If this be true, what will become
of London and it's population?
The site on which the great city
stands is a mammoth brickwork of
bridges and arches Of brick and
stone, under and through which
run rivers and streams Of small
value, emptying as they do into
the river Thames. Under the
Bank of England there is swift
stream of water pouring through
underground tunnels, and the
country is so fiat that the drainage
Of the sewers cannot without diff
Guilty be carried off. Indeed they
employ a large apparatus at the
mouth Of the main sewers empty
ing into the Thames to catch all
of the solids from the sewerage,
and this is loaded on barges which
are towed down river and loaded
again into vessels who carry it
and empty it into the North Sea,
and also into the German Ocean.
At this early date the refuse is
being rewashed to the shores Of
Great Britain by the under-tow
action of the sea. Now if the
population in say fifty years will
multiply itself or 4 times, what
will the sanitary condition be
then?
It is we'll known fact that flesh
eating for food is the cause of so
much impurity, and therefore we
advise our friends who live at
London to become vegetarians or
they will by their own cannabalis-
tic flesh eating appetite destroy
themselves.
If the inhabitants of London do
not exterminate themselves in
this way, then the next problem is
as to the density of the body
weight Of the whole population.
We think the quagmire surface of
London, or the crust Of ground
upon which the buildings rest,
with the added increase of new
buildings of the sky scraper mod
ell and the added increase of the
body weight Of the people will be
more than a marshy district of
flat land undercut by running
streams will be able to hold. It
may be that London will require
an illustrator to have it's place
illustrated as did Ignatius Don
nelly the lost city and Island of
Atlantas. If London increases it's
population from five million to
thirteen million in the next fifty

His Excellency Hon. John
Lind, Governor of the State of
Minnesota, has endeared himself
to the inmates of this institution.
His manly and generous conduct
toward them is fully appreciated.
On Decoration Day he visited
this place, and during the morn
ing in the park, he entered freely
into conversation with the prison.
ers. He treated one and all alike,
and his visit on that day was a
green spot in the life of all those
who happily met with His Excel
lency. It may also be said that
in all his official duties he acts the
same favorjng all, fearing none,
with the outstretched hand Of
friendship to lift upward and on
ward those who have fallen, and to
give timely aid and sympathy, and
in plain United States be it said
that Governor Lind is a good man.
One of the inmates requested
us to publish the following, copied
from some unknown book or jour-
nal, to express our thoughts to-
ward Governor Lind:
The pure, the bright, the beautiful
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wOrdless prayer,
The streams of love and truth;
The lOngiugs after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The strivings after better hopes
These things can never die.
The tmid hand stretched forth to aid
brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves friend indeed;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens high
The sorrow of cOntrite heart,
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as it fell,
The chilling want of sympathy
We fell, but never tell
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not chance to waken love,
Be firm and just, and true;
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high;
And angel voices say to the
These things shall never die.

iron in his blood as the skipper
had declared in his log. Logs, it
may be said, may be literary, but
they are not, strictly speaking,
otherwise than nautically true.
It was on Wednesday last. some
where in the neighborhood Of
Hatteras, at 4:3O o'clock in the
afternoon (by the log(, that the
Scottish Prince ran into weather.
She almost rolled her spar deck
rails under in frosty westerly
blast. AS she went over to wind
ward, or to port, a great sea curled
aboard. Mingled with the sea was
the shark. It fell on the bridge
deck of the Scottish Prince "like
a load Of bricks" ct is so re-
corded in the log) The skipper
thought for a moment that part
Of a wave might have been frozen
in the act Of tumbling aboard and
that this might account for the
thump. When the air cleared a
bit, he saw a shark, variously esti-
mated at from six feet to ten feet
long, foundering on the deck.
The ship was headed into the
storm and all hands not below
went for the shark, which was
apparently suffering from shock.
They pitched it into a coil Of rope
on the forward hatch and then
attacked it with Delaying pins,
winch bars and other handy things.
The shark didn't seem to mind the
lambasting. It was lying on it's
back, and simply smiled a fathom
or so and looked bored
Just then, so the log says, the
fore trysail halliards were carried
away. While the men, under d.
rection Of the bo's'n, were receiving
new halliards, a sailor dropped a
section of chain ("about as thick
as my two fingers the skipper
said) near the open countenance
of the shark. There was a rafting
as of anchor cable going through
a hawse pipe and the chain dis
appeared. The rattling was caused
by the contact of the chain with the
sharks teeth. A sailor who saw
the chain vanishing grabbed the
free end of it in time to save about
a fathom. The shark bit off two
fathoms Of it before the sailor
could drag 1t out. The shark
seemed to be somewhat indisposed
thereafter. It was unable to get
out of the coil of rope.
The ship rolled and pitched as it
never had in any sea, and the
shark finally gave up the ghost.
1t was cut open by order Of the
skipper, who wanted the two
fathoms of chain. The shark had
nothing for it's appetite, if a
sharks appetite needs to be &C.
counted for.

The much talked of expansion de-

discuss the question which today is
puzzling the United States senate,
with evident ease and familiarity.
The debate was opened by Mr., Whar-
ton for the affirmative in 80 minutes
talk, outlining the policy OF the ex-
pansionists and incidentally propound-
ing some questions to the negative
side.. Mr.. Wharton was followed by
Mr.. Stanford OF the negative, who not
only made an eloquent appeal for lib

to show that it was not a constitu-
tional deal. He also dwelt on the
danger Of the United States, entering
the far East, claiming that we could
not cope with the older countries, and
even five could it would necessitate
the increasing Of our navy as we'll as

was the mission of the starry banner
of the United States to advance, and
wherever it did advance civilization
and christianity would follow: Mr..
Burns followed and made the closing
argument for the negative. He went
at several of the statements of the af-
firmative rough shod. Owing to the
limited time his talk was necessarily
short but effective just the same. He
closed with an appeal to remember
that, ':the time of conquest is past

points made by the several speakers.

Judges that no matter what argument

Wharton followed for the affirmative
and closed the debate. He reviewed
the situation briefly and closed by
reading the questions he had given
the negatives in his opening speech
and claimed that they had not been
answered, to which the neg atiyes took
exception, claiming that they had been
answered, which was zorro borated by
the judges. This ended the debate, it
