Brief Notes.

The Johnson Wentworth Lumber
Company of Cloquet has bought for
$4,000 one section of pine land in Sec
ton 81, township IS and range Is. The
pine will be sawn at Cloquet.
The house occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
O'Brien, at North Mankato, was set on
fire and burned during the night. The
inmates escaped only by jumping out
of the window.
No ore will be mined this year on
state lands, and all the money to be
received on royalties has now been
paid in. There are but two opened
mines on state land, Oliver and Min
newas. The latter has been idle since
1898 and is likely to so remain some
time longer.

endeavoring to stamp out polygamy in
Utah.
Angus NJ. Cannon, says the New
York World, is pillar in the Mormon
church, and, like many other men oc-
cupying high ecclesiastical positions,
continues to live with q plurality Of
wives, just as in the days of old, be-
fore the head Of the Mormon church
issued the manifesto declaring that
polygamy had been abandoned and be-
fore Utah had been admitted to state
hood upon the solemn pledges Of the
Mormon people that in future men in
Utah would content themselves with
one wife apiece.
Cannon's arrest was no surprise, nor
was his plea of guilty. Other cases will
now be taken up. Among those others
will be Congressman-elect B. b. Rob-
erts.

baby, is a state senator, and was quite
an active member of the legislature.
She was also member of the constitu-
tional convention and voted for the
adoption Of the state constitution.
which declares that polygamy or plural
marriages shall be forever prohibited.
Mrs. Cannon, however, says now that
polygamy is an institution ordained by
God, and seems content with her posi-
ton. She says Our husband is just
man and treats all his wives alike, show
ing no favoritism to any Of US. !"

Newport News, Va, July 81. There
are 30 cases of what are believed to be
genuine yellow fever at the National
soldiers home near Hampton, and
three deaths from the disease were
reported Sunday. There were several
other deaths at the institution Satur-

LON INSTANCE RIDE.
Young Frenchman's Remarkable
Feat Of Horsemanship.
Travels from Vienna to Paris, 1856
Niles, I'm Twelve Days and Four
teen Hours, without lncn-
pacitating His Mount.

A very remarkable feat of horseman-
ship has just been accomplished by a
young Frenchman of good family, NJ.
Charlie Cottu. He rode the whole of the
way from Vienna to Paris, 7s5 miles, in
IL days IA hours, using only one horse
and, what is still more noteworthy,
brought his mount into Paris in thor
oughly good condition. AS everyone
knows, 81 miles is good deal more
than the average horse can be expected
to accomplish in a day, and to keep up
this average for 10 days at stretch,
with 1873 pounds weighton the animals
back, implies not only great stamina in
the steed, but altogether exceptional
care and management on the part of
the rider.
NJ. Cottu's main object was to beat
Lieut.. Zubowitz' record of II days five
hours over the same road, and he set
about his preparations with the utmost
thoroughness. He began to train his
mount-a half-bred Irish mare, Irish
Lass, seven years old, standing just un-
der Is hands-on Easter Monday, be-
ginning with gentle ride of Is miles
or so, and gradually increasing the
daily distance up to 40 miles. After a
fortnight of this preliminary work, NJ.
Cottu started for Vienna, covering the
distance by easy stages. He had pre-
viously taken course of lessons from
a blacksmith, so that in the event of
Irish Lass casting shoe at an incon-
venient moment he could put on anoth-
er before any damage was done to the
foot. The journey to Vienna occupied
"a days, the Austrian capital being
reached on May IL. Irish Lass and her
owner kept in steady training until
June /, when they started on the long
ride to Paris. BY this time NJ. Cottu
and his mare were .'hard as nails and

defeated, though polling large vote.
He was chairman of the republican
county committee in 1885 and 1887 and
Tor many years executive member of
the Twenty-frst assembly district. He
was appointed by President Arthur as
United States attorney for the south
ern district of New York and served
two years. During his long career as
q lawyer, Mr.. Root has been leading
counsel in many noted cases, notably
for Tweed and Ingersoll on the expo
sure of the frauds perpetrated upon the
county of New York by the Tweed ring,
for Judge Hilton in the Stewart will

JASPER AT EIGHTY
Still Insists vehcmently That 1.-THE
Sun Do Move,
1hterestinE Chat with Richmond's
Celebrated Negro Clersymnn-He
Gives Ills Reasons for One
of His Theories.

In his humble cottage in Africa
tEe negro quarter il Richmond, a
quaint old clergyman, known theworld
over for one idea persistently preached
for Is years, on the Fourth of July cele-
brated his eighty-seventh birthday.
Pastor of the Sixth Mount Zion church,
paid 5000 a year by his 5000 parishion-
'ers, Rev. John Jasper has made an in
ternational reputation by propounding
the doctrine 1.-THE sun do move"
Somewhat enfeebled by his great age,
the negro preacher spends most of his
time in meditation, strikingly orig.
.i1ial and picturesque character. John
Jasper has a remarkable head. Ire
mendously high and prominent cheek
bones under kindly eyes strongly mark
a face of benevolence and good nature.
In the pulpit he wears large silver spec
tacles that add to his otherwise clerical
look. A phrehologist would be puzzled
to decide where his intellectual bumps
lie, as his forehead commences with
protruding eyebrows and runs at an
angle of IS degrees to the top of his
head, when his Uranium swells out, only
to end in an abrupt precipice.
Newspaper reporters have made him
out wholly illiterate and grotesque, and
biographers Of his own race are prone
to picture him as a learned doctor Of
divinity. Neither picture is correct,
says the New York Herald.
John Jasper does not speak in the
negro dialect, as he is often quoted, but
in his effort to talk proper" and in the
quaint originality of expression, no less
than his vehemence of gesture, the Wis
itor looking for amusement finds plenty
ito interest him. Of his ministry JAS
per himself says: .@#

asking whether the grave of John Paul
Jones in Paris is known and marked.
He has received reply from Mr.. Wig
maud saying that, although he has
made earnest and frequent inquiries of
the city authorities in regard to the
matter, he has been unable to discover
the whereabouts of the grave. One
thing established by his inquiries, how
ever, he says, is that John Paul Jones
was not buried in the cemetery where
the remains of Lafayette lie, as has
been supposed by some people. In an
other quarter it is intimated that owing
to custom prevailing in Paris, the re-
mains of John Paul Jones were depos-
tied in rented grave for a term of
years, and that upon the expiration Of
the lease great many years ago the
bones of this distinguished American
patriot were thrown into the potter's
field |8
John Paul Jones was one of the great
est of the naval heroes of the world. His
name was really not Jones at all, but
John Paul, and much as Rudyard Kip
ling has abused him, he was really not
an American, but a born Scotsman.
When he was IL years old Paul was APP
prenticed to a shipmaster engaged in
the. American trade. He was afterward
third mate on SLAYER and master of a
trader. A bold, brave heart, he could
not restrain himself from participation
in the rebellion against the English
Crown, and he secured an appointment
as senior lieutenant in the United
States navy, and was assigned to the
flagship Alfred. ..
Jones' operations were conducted
from France against England, and two
of his most notable adventures were his
attempts to abduct the earl of Selkirk
and his action with the Scraps and
Scarborough fleet of English ships in
August, 1779.
After his victory Jones was received
in France with the highest honors.
The king gave him cross and sword,
and congress a vote of thanks and the
command of the new frigate America.
In 1857 Jones returned to America and
was given a gold medal by the congress.
He returned to Europe year later, and
engaged himself as rear admiral in
the service of Russia. He died at Paris
July 10, 1892.

The Perfect Human Foot.

A perfectly-formed foot should, ac-
.cording to anatomists, be as long as
the bone in the forearm, which extends
/. from the elbow to the joint Of the wrist.
This seems to be abnormally long in
a tall person, but is the measurement
taken by artists. OF course, arms are
sometimes out Of proportion, being far
too short for the general height, but it
us rare that an arm is too Tong for the
stature of a person.

In conversation with Paris CORE
spondent, NJ. Cottu explained that the
great secret of success on long-distance
rides is to avoid overheating your
mount. II never" he said, kept Irish
Lass at the trot for more than a mile
and a quarter. I always dismounted
when we came to hill and led her up
it. Some days I walked at least 20
miles. When we came to our stopping
place, I let her stand few minutes to
cool, and then unsaddled her and gently
rubbed her back with the bare hand, to
restore the circulation in the parts
weighed upon by the saddle. Then
groomed her carefully, took her into
her stable and gave her her food. AS
soon as she had taken it she used to lie
right down at once, but she was always
ready for the road again. Igave her be-
tween 20 and "a liters of oats and be-
tween IS and 10 liters of milk every day,
with fair, amount of water whenever
she wanted it, provided the water was
not too cold. I gave her from four to.
six hours rest in the middle of the day,
so as to escape the heat, and only about
two hours at night. I always slept in
the stable with her and did not once
take off my clothes from leaving Vienna
to arriving at Paris. There was no
time for baths or anything of that sort.
AS we never did more Than 61a miles an
hour, even over level country, we had
to spend good many hours. day on
the road
Questioned in regard to his own
regimen, NJ. Cottu Said he had taken
dark in preference tb white meat when
ever he could. He smoked very little
and drank no alcohol except light wine
freely diluted. En- route he ate bread
and sugar in preference to chocolate
During the last twp days he was obliged
to drink large quantities Of coffee to
keep himself awake, with the result
that for some LITTLE time after his arrival,
in Paris he suffered from cerebral cloud
mess and inability to collect his
thoughts. Otherwise his long ride had
not the least effect on him. NJ. Cottui is
only 20 years pf age.
