TRAGIC ENDING
OF An OUTING.
Waded Beyond their Depth and
We're Swepf Away.
FIVE PERSONS ARE DROWNED

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. IA sad
drowning accident occurred at
Black Rock near here last evening
when four young children we're
swept TO death by the current,
The father of one of them was
also drowned while heroically
struggling to rescue his child.
Several farmers with their fami
lies had gone to Black Rock for
a days outing. The children went
in wading and being caught in the
current were swept out into the
river.
The fathers tried to reecue them
but their efforts were unavailing.
Only two of the five bodies have
so far been recovered.

DEATH CAUSED
BY EXPLOSION.
An Upright Boiler Expiodcs with
Fearful Results.
FOURTEEN MEN ARE DEAD.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 10. Four
teen were killed and twelve others
were injured in an explosion at one
of the large iron works here this
forenoon. An upright boiler in
one of the guide mills exploded
wrecking the entire building and
several other buildings in the vi
cinity. One man died in the hos
pital, and seven others cannot sur
vive their injuries.
The boiler was IN upright one
and registered as absolutely non
explosive under any pressure of
steam. The cause of the accident
is unknown. Something of the
force exerted can be imagined
when it is known that drum of
six ton in weight, was blown thro'
the roof and fell six hundred feet
from the building.
Intense excitement prevailed
following the explosion as the de-
bris was scattered in every
direction and two alarms of fire
were turned in.

Philadelphia, Sept. There is
a probability of a general street
car strike of all the men here next
Monday morning, which will tie
up the cars during the G.. A. r.
encampment, which begins on that
day.
The trouble has been brewing
among the men for weeks, and
frequent meetings have been held
at which the men have strength
ened their organization. They
will demand two dollars for ten
hours work a rearrany cement of
shifts and an adjustment of other

The fruit distilIery at Canon
City, Fremont county, built by G..
NJ Jarvis, of Council Bluffs, is
nearly completed. The still for
making brandy is being put in
place. Mr.. Jarvis says that there
is no reason why distilling brandy
from fruit juices may not become
as great an industry in Colorado
as it is in California. Fruit which
is unfit for the market can be util-
lied in making brandy. He ex-
poets to establish plants in all the
fruit growing districts in the state.
Sites for distilleries have already
been selected in Otero and Delta
counties. The plant at Canon
City will be completed by Septem-
ber l 1t is estimated that the dis
tillery will turn out 1000 gallons
of brandy day. A bonded ware
house for storing the brandy will
be established in Denver.-Field

MORE YELLOW FEVER.
Garrison at Key West Will be
Taken to Fort Mcpherson.

Washington, Sept. Sturgeon
General berg today received
a telegram from Key West, Fla,
confirming the report that yellow
fever has broken out in that place.
Fourteen cases have already been
reported. Surgeon Stern berg at
once recommended the removal of
the garrison, and the troops will
be taken to Ft. Mcpherson at Sa-
vannah. Several vessels in the

Will Not be Enforced at Present.

The Beaman game and fish law,
which is being enforced by Com
missioner johnson with so much
difficulty, will be ignored by that
office, at least temporarily, in re-
spect to the requirement that fish
importers must obtain certificates
and permits for each importation.
These firms import large numbers
of catfish. A delegation of their
representative waited on the gov
ernor yesterday and strongly pro-
tested against that section of the
law relating to the importation of
fish. 1t reads:
"No person shall sell, offer. ex-
pose or keep for sale any game or
fish brought into this state from
any other state or territory, except
in the original package, condition,
number and quantity in which the
same were brought into this state.
until he shall have procured from
the commissioner certificate
dated and signed by him stating
the kind, and, as near as practical
bic, the number of game or fish
referred to therein, which shall be
kept constantly and publicly ex-
posed with such game or fish so
long as they are kept for sale. No
such certificate shall be granted or
valid for more than thirty days
after its date"
When the professors waited on
the Governor they were accom-
panied by Deputy Commissioner
w. G. Baker They presented
their case at length before the
Governor, who refused to interfere
directing them to consult the
attorney general. This will be
done, but meantime the fish com
missioner on his own authority
will not enforce that portion of
the law. This action will be taken
under a section of the law which
allows the commissioner to pro-
mulgate such rules as he may
deem necessary. He will there
fore, not order any prosecutions
for violations of this section until
the attorney general reports.
Yesterday an order was sent one
of the fish wardens who contem-
plated. enforcing the law in case
that would come under this section
not to do so for the present.

Cities Wear Out tho Horses.

Horses wear out much faster in the
large cities than they do in country
districts. Immense numbers of these
animals annually succumb to hard
usage, combined with the inevitable
labor of hauling heavy loads over
granite paved streets. As fast as the
city supply becomes exhausted it must
be replenished Ly horses from the
country or from foreign parts. 1t is
stated that in the suburbs of London
alone there are 75O, 900 horses in use,
and that 100, 900 horses must every
year be sent into these suburbs to
take the place of those worn out. The
city of Berlin takes 100, 900 new
horses every year. A large number
OF the horses used in omnibuses and
on tram lines both in England and on
the continent are imported from the
United States. The horses from the
United States are shipped from the
ports OF New York and Boston to the
ports of London, Liverpool and Glas-
gov, and quite large number are
trans-shipred at London for the ports
of Antwerp and Havre. The ocean
rates on horses from New York and
Boston are from $25 to $50 per head,
including feed and attendance, insur-
ance for the voyage and for ten days
after landing and dock charges.

The Nutrition of Various Foods,

The most striking fact brought out
by Professor Atwater is that meat and
fish, the animal foods, abound in
protein or futs. The vegetable foods,
on the other hand, contain relatively
little of these materials, but are rich
in carbohydrates, like starch and
sugar. 1t is interesting to note also
that the meats contain much more
refuse than the cereals.
Beef contains more protein than
any other article on the list. 1t has
also some carbon and considerable
amount OF refuse. Pork is almost
pure y carbon, while sugar contains
only carbohydrates. Butter is nearly
all fn'. 1t contains au intnitesimal
amount of protein, but cheese is rich
in the latter element. Milk, oatmeal,
beans and bread contain all the re.
quirements for nutrition.
No single food affords perfect diet.
None contains all the nutrients in the
proportions agreed upon as furnishing
standard for bodily need. Beef
would sustain life, but it is lacking
in carbohydrates, and would prove n
one-sided and expensive diet. To get
enough protein and fat out of wheat
bread it would be necessary to con-
sumo a large overpus of the third con-
stituent. Bread and meat together
make much more suitable diet than
either taken singly. Milk comes near
er than any other article to being a
complete food. 1t contains all the es-
sential nutrients, and in something
like the proper distribut on. 1t is
probable that a healthful existence
could be maintained longer OH milk
than on any other kind of food.
The food elements may lie obtained
in proper proportions by an almost
endless variety of combinations. The
matte: lecomes one Of individual taste
or o; cost. Some foods attractive to
the palate have little else to recon-
mend them, but they may serve de-
sirable purpose by lending variety to
diet.-F. w. Mayo, in Ainslee's.

biggest of Lobsters,

What is probably the biggest lobs-
ter ever known was captured off Var
mouth, Nova Scotia, recently and was
sent to Boston. 1t was a male. 1t
measured nearly seven feet fiom tip
to tip of its colossal claws, and the
body was three feet long. The legs
were about an inch in diameter.
When it was hauled into the dory by
Eben Crosby and his two young sons
the monster crustacean made des-
perate resistance. In its rage it seized
two Holsters of ordinary size that were
already in the dory and bit each Of
them in two. Then it laid about so
vigorously with it it's great claws that
the fishermen were afraid that their
boat would be stove.
Finally Crosby and his sons sue
ceeded in plugging the claws with
wooden pegs and bound the lobster
up with cords. 1t was too large to
get it into lobster crate, so it was
tied on the top Of crate and shipped.

"AppalIin. Disaster" Furnishes Dinner.
The English "Iiner," whose bust
ness is to send short paragraphs to

ing disasters. He is out OF spirits
and his pockets are empty in the pip
ing times OF peace, when even an as
sault on policeman is of rare occur
renee. But II strange suicide, mys-
FERROUS murder, fatal fire or sem
sational burglary make new man Of
him, and convinces him that really,
after all, life is worth living.
There is grisly story Of ''liner,"
says writer in The Cornhill, who
had not material for paragraph for
weeks People persisted in not MUIR
dering any one; they would not even
commit suicide OF drop down dead !;
fires would not burst ont and the bur-

lived in cheap suburb and one after
noon was walking dolefnlly in his
scrap of back garden, smoking his
pipe and racking his brains to find
out where the next weeks dinners
for his wife and children were to
come from, when he suddenly heard
screams from adjoining premises. He
dropped his pipe and rushed out, but
soon returned.
"Mary! Mary!' he cried to his long
suffering partner, fetch my hat!
Thank goodness, q woman few doors
