TALK IT OVER.
Chicago Ministers Discuss Mr.. Shell
don's Scheme

Chicago July. 10.-The project Of Rev.
Charles NJ. Sheldon of Topeka, Kan, to
establish a Christian daily newspaper IN
Chicago, which was broached at the
Christian Endeavor convention IN Detroll,
has aroused great diversity of opinion
among the ministers and other leaders in
religious fields in this city. The consen-
sus OF opinion is follows:
Bishop Merrill of the Methodist EpiSeo-
pal church-The general proposition IS
good one for one who has money to dis
pose of, but the details to be considered
make the discussion premature.
General Secretary MeSSer OF the Y NJ.
C. Alt least 81, 0O0.0 900 should be assured
terprise. 1t should be conducted on the
lines Of a regular daily. but giving espe-
cial attention to the religious interests of
the city. 1t should be of no denomination
cagO on common ground.
Rev A D. 1raveller-A Christian daily
newspaper ought to succeed in Chicago,
and would be a great. benefit to the city.
and its management the best L should
like to see a paper of such nature here,
but think it would be difficult to raise the
money for it.
Book Concern-There is no place for such
a paper in Chicago, and if 81, 100000 were
raised to support it. think the enterprise
would last no longer than the money. The
existing papers of the city do justice to
religious Interests, and do not neglect re-
Hgious news.
other ministers stated that such a peri
Odical would be valuable addition to the
field in chicago, but that INFINITE care
would have to be exercised to place the
enterprise on irreprOachable footing in
finance and management.
At present the Montreal Daily Witness
is the only daily newspaper conducted on
lines similar to the scheme of DR.. Shell

POPULISTS CHANGING.
Texas Contingent FIocking to the
Democratic Ranks

Dallas, Texas, July 10.-W. A Shaw,
known as Farmer BilT' Shaw. editor Of
the Texas Farmer, returned home today
after filing a Fourth of July speech en-
gagement at Stephensville, in Erath
county, the hotbed of the State Grange
Democratic and the Farmers Alliance
POpulistic) forces of Texas.
Mr. Shaw says he never witnessed a
similar Fourth of July scene il any
part of the country. He estimates that
10000 persons were at the celebration,
crowds coming from all points within
radius of fifty miles of Stephensville.
The celebration was gotten up by the
volunteer fire department of the place.
There were 400 covered wagons in one
bunch. The picnic grounds were one
ard a half miles from town. In order
to keep the procession from overlapping
itself, it was found necessary to divide
it into three sections, and send it to the
grounds over three separate roads.
Mr.. Shaw says a complete political
revolution has come over that section
of central western Texas during the last
three years; that approximately all the
POpulists have come back to the Demo-
cratic party, and the entire country is
for Bryan and the Chicago platform
over again in 1900
Former County Attorney Jarrett, a
noted POpulist leader, was one of the
Fourth of July speakers, and the crowd
went wild over his new declarations for
democracy.

THE SUMS RAYS.
Ignited Oil In the Ground, the Soil
Being Soaked With Petroleum

Bowling Green, Ohio, July 1O.-Oil men
are greatly alarmed over a circumstance
that happened on the Garfield lease in
Plain township Saturday.
Ed Mount and a gang Of men were
busy putting a well to pumping when
they discovered a fire near the well, the
Oil-sOaked earth blazing furiOusIy. 1t
was thought the blaze started from a
spark dropped by man who was
smoking, but no sooner had it been eX-
tinguished than several other fires were
noticed. The cause was the heat of the
sun on the earth. which was soaked
with petroleum, and when it became too
hot spontaneous combustion took place.
For several hours the men battled with
the flames and dug up the earth to.
keep from burningup for on all sides of
them fires were started and there seem
ed little chance of saving many wells
and large tanks of oil from igniting.
When evening came the men were COM
pletely exhausted. and a couple were
quite badly burned.
OId-time oil men say it is the first
time they ever knew of oil that was on
the ground taking fire from the heat of
the sun. Many thousands of dollars of
property was saved by the heroic action
of the men.

over the bird, and, with assistance,
Gagged it. The eagle is very heavy, being

OFF A SLICE OF MEXICO.
Rio Grande in Nav Channel a Mile
From Fort Ringgold.

Austin, Tex, July 1O.-The attention
Of the war department has been called
to a pecu1e effect of the recent flood
in the RiOTGrande.
The former channel of the erratic
stream passed within a few rods of
Fort Ringgold, Tex, and the pumping
station was so located as to afford an
adequate water supply for the army
post. During the recent big rampage,
the river cut a. new channel, striking off
a large section of Mexico and placing
about a mile between the post and its
present channel. The pumping station
was not prepared for such an emergency
as this, and the water supply at the
post is now cut off until some other
means of obtaining it can be devised.
The international water boundary COM
mission will be called upon to investi-
gate the question of rightful boundary
between the two countries at that point.

BROTHER ABNER'S LOSS.
Punched For $4,000 in Wall Street -
Wants His Money Back.

New York, July 10.-Abner Mckinley,
better known in his capacity as brother
of the president, is again to the fore
with financial troubles.
He has threatened to bring a suit
against a Wall street broker for the
sum of $4,000, which the presidents
brother says it cost him to try to turn
an honest penny in Cleveland, Lorain
and Wheeling.
Half the amount according to his
claim, represents the check Mr.. Nc
Kinley gave to the broker. The other
half represents the profit he expected to
make.
The stock rose after the purchase and
was not sold. 1t fell afterward and was
sold.
There was go between In the Wall
street speculation.
The broker in this case was De Ruy-
ter NJ HOllins of No. II Wall street.
He explained today that the stock was
bought for Abner Mckinley, with the
specific understanding that it was to be
sold on a 2-pOint rise. When 1t had
risen in value less than points the go
between appeared on the telephone and
ordered the stock sold for Mckinley.
The broker ascertained that the pres
ident's brother was out of town and re-
fused to accept the order to sell as
authentic. Then the stock went down,
and Mr.. Mckinley lost money. Con-
corning the matter, Mr.. Hollis said to-
day:
Mr. Mckinley gave me positive in
structions to sell when he had points
profit and not otherwise unless he per-
sonaIly ordered it. The stock advanced
slightly and a telephone message came
to sell Mr. McKinley's stock, but the
message did not come direct from him
and we learned that he was out of the
city, so nothing was done.
Upon his return the stock had gone
down several points, causing loss
amounting to $3.50. Now he demands
his money back, with an additional sum
as his profit.
"At the beginning of the transaction
Mr.. Mckinley gave me a check which
he requested me not to put in bank for
a few days. So we really allowed him
to deal in stocks on nothing but paper
that was not at the time negotia ble.'

On the 18th of September a hurri-
cane in the British West Indies, in adj
dition to destroying thousands Of
buildings and rendering $4,000 people
homeless and destitute, cut a wide
swath in the shipping in that region
and killed 500 people. This storm was
widely heralded and word cabled to all
the West Indian islands open to com
munication. In spite of this vast
amount of shipping was damaged.
Two vessels were sunk off the Wind
ward islands. The British ship Loan

Rio Janeiro; the American bark Gray
Lynwood, of SOP tons, Captain Gilley.
from New York for Port Spain, both
lying at Barbados, besides two barken-
tines, were blown out into the ocean
and cast ashore and wrecked at st.
Vincent, British West Indies. Exten-
sive damage was also done to the ma

sea and swamped. Following this
news was received that the Leopard, OF
Labrador, with a crew of eighteen and
twelve passengers, was lost during a
severe storm off the northwest coast

All About the SupDer.

One who meets with disappoint-
ment is fortunate indeed if he can
make somebody else responsible. Wit
ness the Italian farmer who decided
that, better late than never, he would
hear one Of Verdi's operas. He took
his ticket, travelled up to Milan from
the very depths of the country, and, Sc
curing a good seat, listened to s'Aida,"
but he did not like the music at all.
and he wrote to the composer to saw
so. Under the circumstances, the far
mer added, he hoped that Verdi would
see the reasonableness of at once re-
turning him his money. There was
his railroad fare, his ticket of admis-
sion, and his supper at Milan, for
which he inclosed the bill. The macs
tro entered fully into the humor Of the
situation. He wrote back polite
letter regretting that his music had
failed to please, and inclosing the rail-
way fare and the price of admission.
But he added that, as the farmer would
have had to provide himself with sup
per at home, he could not admit the
Justice Of that part of the claim, and
he absolutely declined to pay for the
supper at Milan. s ss III

Humiliating q Rival.

It is not a mooted question in Per-
STA whether women dress for the eyes
of men or those of women, as there on
ly women see women, at parties. In
her book, Through Persia on a Side
Saddle" Miss Sykes, writing of the
women of Teheran, the capital of Per-
STA, confesses that even Mohammedan
isolation does not prevent women from
being envious of other women if they
are dressed better than themselves.
She writes: II was told that many of
the fine ladies would give large sums
in the European shops of Teheran for
any brocade of silk which struck their
fahcy, and would wear it at the next
party to which they invited their
friends Haunting the new toilette os-
tentatiously before them to fire their
jealousy. Usually, however, one of
the guests would pay her hostess out
by buying some more of the same ma
terial and having it made up for one of
her slave women. She then would in
wife large company to tea, and the
