iness and strife for advancement, and to
remember the milestones, and so help to
make the last days of those who are on the

boys married Cuban wives and brought
them home. They all have either a small
lemon or orange grove, while one of the
Pittsburg (Kan.) boys captured a dusky
maiden who has 600-acre coffee planta-

but they drew blanks, and when the troops
came home they left them to shuttle for
themselves"

The gunboat Yankton has found the
wreck of the Spanish torpedo boat, Pluton,
in eight fathoms of water three miles west
of the entrance to Santiago harbor. Con
traTy to the reports published last July
that the Pluton was cut in two by a 49,
inch shell, it was found by the Yankton
that she had not been hit by large shell,
but had been riddled by six-pounders,
which shows that her sinking was due to
the work of the converted yacht Glouces-
ter. The Pluton's condition is such that
she is worthless.

Burning Accident Resulted Fatally.

burning AcciuehA hesuiteu btallys
Walter, the three-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. George Phelps of East Putney,
died Tuesday afternoon as the result of
the serious burns which he received March
20. Mrs. Phelps poured some hot water
into the pail and set it down upon the
door. The child was then in another
part of the room. Mrs. Phelps had taken
but few steps from the pail when the
child fell against it, tipping it over. The
boy was scalded about the back, both arms,
and one leg. The skin dropped from his
back when he was lifted from the floor
The boy got better and it was thought that
he would recover until a few days ago
when acute Bright's disease developed
The boy was particularly bright and active.
The people of East Putney have much
sympathy with Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps.

BIGGEST IN THE WORLD
New Matte Furnace Being Built
at Lower Works.
IT WILL MAKE A SAVING
Three Large Furnaces to Do the Work
of Seven Small Ones-Improve-
ments Being Made at the
Converters.

What Captain Kelly believes to be
the largest matte furnace in the world
is being erected in the lower works
smelling department. It is the third of
series of large furnaces that have
Teen built in recent months in the de-
Nelopment of the theory that a large
furnace can be operated almost as
economically as a small one Instead
of passing over shor. space and then
wasting itself up the fiue, the flame in
The new and large furnaces is made to
travel a greater distance Eefore it's life
is ended.
Acting on this theory, about nine
months ago the management of the
shelters erected a new furnace Al feet
long and II feet inches in exterior
width, or 81 feet inches in interior
length and IA feet in interior width. 1t
was found that this smeter would do
the work of several Of the small fur
naces, with consumption of fuel only
slightly greater than that Of one small
furnace and with no increase in the
force required to handle it.
The plan proved so successful that
