An inventor has devised a very in
genious artificial leg and foot intended
for use in cases of amputation below
the knee joint. 1t Is mainly composed
OF hollow rubber chamber which Is
inflated in exactly the same way as is
a bicycle tire. The skeleton of the foot
is Of wood and contains within it
rubber-faced Joint which permits of
movements like those which take place
at the ankle. A pair of rubber pneu-
matte pads surround the end Of the am
putated limb, so that no undue pressure
is exerted on the tissue.

Though English fishing boats are larger
and more numerous yearly, the take
does not diminish, like that of wildfowl,
but increases. The total value of the
catch of British sea fish has risen from
$50, 0OO, 900 to $40, 600, 900 in the course of
the last ten years. The catches of in
dividual boats during the last few weeks
have beaten the record. One trawler,

FIRST CAMP MEETING.

"The effect of the MCGEE brothers
preaching-especially of John MCGEE
at Presbyterian quarterly meeting
on the banks of Red river, in Ken
lucky, was so startling, and seemed SO
clearly to indicate that it was the
result of Divine agency or some mys-
terious force possessed by the preach
er, that the news of the occurrence
spread rapidly in all directions
throughout that part of the state, and
attracted unbounded interest" writes
Clifford Howard in the Ladies' Home
Journal. IF it did not at once awaken
a responsive religious feeling, it at
least excited curiosity, and when it
was learned that the MCGEE brothers
were to hold meeting at Russellville,
Kentucky, newly settled town in
Logan county, near the Muddy river.
persons from all parts of the adjoin-
ing country, irrespective of their
religious beliefs or church allegiance,
prepared to attend. 1t soon became
evident that the four walls of a coun-
try Westinghouse would not suffice to
hold the large numbers that were MAX
ing ready to go to Russellville. The
problem thus presented was solved
by determining to hold the meeting in
the open air. Those coming from dis
lance were prepared to camp; it would
be no hardship to them to remain out
of-doors. The recent experience at
Red river had proved this. 1t was not
expected by those who were coming
that the lodging accommodations at
the village of Russellvil1e would be
sufficient by any means. Why, there
fore, attempt to house the people?
Prepare camping ground, and let the
meeting be camp meeting. This,
then, was the origin of camp-meet-
ings; and the first one held in America
was on the banks of the Muddy River,
near Russellville, Kentucky, in the
month of August, 1799-one hundred
years ago. Not that religious wor-
ship had never before been held in the
open afr, but the special feature of
camping out and the nature of the
services made the camp-meeting a dis
tinctive institution, and characterized
this particular gathering on Muddy
river as the first of it's kind

Lady Cambrey was not given to the

delightful to be the chaperone of a
beautiful young heiress like Lady Frs

agree with Lady Marion's words, opin-

Lady Marion was submissive and
gentle by nature. She was one of the
class of women born to be ruled and
not to rule. She could never govern
but she could obey. She could not
command, but she could carry out the
wishes of others to the last letter.

Burned and Sinks at Her Wharf In the New
York Harhur.
Her Cargo, Consisting Of Tobacco
and Cotton, Valued at Between
Two Hundred and Fifty and
Three Hundred Thousand Doll
lars, Total Loss, and the Ves-
sci Little Better Than a Wreck.

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-The Mallory
steamer Leona was burned and sunk at
her wharf in East River tonight The
cargo, consisting of tobacco and S,UUO
bales of cotton, and valued at $250.000
to $300,000, is a total loss, and the
boat is little better than wreck.
1t is believed that the Leona, which
sailed from Galveston September nth.
caught fire at sea several days ago,
since which time she has proceeded at
full speed with battened matches for
this port.
AT $3.50 this afternoon the Leona
came racing up East River to her pier,
where haste was made to disembarll
the passengers and open the matches.
An hour later an army of men was
vainly fighting a fire in the steamers
hold. Finally the ship was scuttled.
AS soon as the Leona made fast to
her pier, the officers of the vessel,
commanded by Captain Wilder, order
ed the members of the crew to try TO
put out the fire in the hold without
calling the Fire Department. This was
soon found to be impossible, and an
alarm was sent in. By 5:30 o'clock ten
and six streams from fire boats.
At q o'clock, when seventy firemen,
with the Chief and Deputy Chief, were
on the boat working, the fire was found
to be beyond the efforts of the fire
men, and an order was given to open
the fore and aft portfolios, in order to
allow the water to make her settle.
When the ship showed evidence OF
listing to starboard the firemen left the
ship by sliding down a hose which was
fastened to the wheel. About half
dozen men were on the starboard side
of the boat, who were unable to get to
the pier, and kept right on working as
if nothing was happening to endanger
their lives. The ship settled rapidly,
and when she finally went down the
men were thrown into the water
Deputy Chief Duane and Fireman
Thomas Mcfarland of engine No. IL
had to shattle for their lives, and were
rescued with difficulty. Duane was
dragged out more dead than alive
Several of the, fire boats engaged in
the work of rescuing the firemen were
nearly carried down by the sinking OF
the Leona-
A somewhat similar experience befell
the Leona in May, 1898, at which time
thirteen steerage passengers were
burned to death. During the war with
Spain the Leona was used as a United
States transport.

LOS ANGELES WATER co.
Files an Action to Set Aside Dec1-
sion of Arbitrators.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.-The Los An
geles City Water Company has nied
another suit in the United States CIR
cult Court directed against the Mayor
and Council of this city.
The complaint asks that the court set
aside the decision of the arbitrators nx-
ing the value of the plant, and that
temporary injunction be issued to pre-
vent the issue by the city of bonds for
the purchase of the plant.
The complaint declares that the de-
termination of the value of the water-
works system was left to three arbitra-
tors. The complaint alleges that the
evidence being in, pretended decision
was rendered fixing the plants value
at 81. 1S5, ,591 40 in this award, but only
two of the arbitrators agreed as to this
price. The complaint alleges that these
two acted without consulting the third
arbitrator, and without his presence
IT is alleged, therefore, that the pre-
tended decision was secured by fraudu-
lent, irregular and illegal means.

Ex- U. S. SENATOR HARLAN.
Passes Away at His Home at Mount
Pleasant, Iowa.

DES MONIES, Oct. 5.-The death of
ex-United States Senator James Har-
Ian occurred at his home In Mount
Pleasant, Iowa, at 9:35 O'clock this
morning. The end was not unexpected,
a collapse having taken place Sunday
last.
The immediate cause of death was
congestion of the lungs, complicated
with liver troubles. Over-exertion in
attending the sessions of the Iowa
Methodist conference last week aggra-
waited his malady, and caused prostra-
ton. His daughter, the wife of Hon.
Robert T. Lincoln of Chicago, was sum-
moned from New York City. and was
at his bedside. Others present were:
James Whitford and Mr.. and Mrs.
Crawford and son.
No arrangements have been made for
the funeral, but 1t will probably be
held in Iowa Wesleyan University
Chapel, in Mount Pleasant, on Sunday
afternoon.
James Harlan was United States Sem
ator from Iowa from 1856 to 1865, was
Secretary of the Interior in Lincoln S
second Cabinet, 1866, and was again
United States Senator from Iowa, 1866
to 1873.
In 1882 Mr.. Harlan was appointed
Chief Justice of the Court Commission
ers of Alabama Claims, which position
he held four years. He was a candidate
for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor in 1895. but his age was against
him.
Senator Harlan's wife died in 1854.
She was a remarkable woman, and dur
ing the civil war did much to alleviate
the sufferings of the Union soldiers,
having an unlimited pass from Secre-
tary Stanton to go where she pleased.

Admiral Dewey has expressed himself
as benefited by the relaxation to-day's
quiet rest afforded him after the con-
stant activity of the past week, and has
ventured the suggestion that by next
week he will have recovered from the
fatigue incident to the high nervous
pressure he has been under. He has
no special plans for the remainder of
the week, save that he will confer with
the Dewey Home Fund Committee at
the Navy Department. In this con-
nection it is understood that an offer
of well known Vermont firm to pre-

United States Treasurer Roberts to-
day received an offer from u. S. J.
Dunbar, we'll known Washington

Three Will Go by Way OF the Suez

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The Navy
Department was busily engaged to-
day in arranging to reinforce the fleet
in the Philippines, as suggested yes
terday by Admiral Dewey at his con-
ference with the President. 1t was
found that the plan conceived last
evening of sending the Marietta and
Machias with the Brooklyn would have
to be modified so as to drop the two
gunboats.
By noon the Department had COM
pleted it's program, and was in posi-
tion to send orders to the ships chosen
to go. The New Orleans was the first
telegraphed to proceed to the New York
Navy Yard to have some changes made
in the galley apparatus. These can
be made in six days, when the ship
will start on her voyage. The Brook
lyn will be turned back from Hamp-
ton Roads and sent to New York,
whence she sailed this morning before
the Depa rtment could reach her with
orders. She will be ready to sail by
the end of next week.
A cablegram was sent to the Nash
vile at San Domingo to proceed at
once to Manila, via Suez, and she is
expected to get out within twenty
four hours.
Orders were also telegraphed to the
Badger at Mare Island to proceed to
the Philippines as soon as possible. No
orders have as yet been sent to the
Bancroft at Boston.
It was suggested at the Navy De-
partment that three of the four yes
sells now under orders for Manila will
pass through the Suez Canal, and so
will be available to divert to South
Africa should matters there take shape
requiring the presence of a United
States naval force.
THE HULL OF THE URDANETA.
MANILA, Oct. 5.-The expedition sent
to the Orani River under the command
of Captain Cornwall to recover the
sunken gunboat Urdaneta returned TO
Cavite yesterday with the hull of the
boat, after bombarding Orani, and
landing a force. Captain Cornwall
brought one prisoner. Lieutenant
Brennan of the gunboat Laguna de
Bay headed the expedition. There were
no casualties.
On Monday morning the expedition
entered the river and anchored above
Orani, near the Urdaneta, the inhabi-
tants of the town simultaneously evac-
uating it and carrying their belongings
with them. The gunboats bombarde
| Orani, the beaches and the surrounding
country for half an hour, receiving a
Mauser volley in return.
The Urdaneta was towed off the bar
about 10 o'clock that evening, the oper-
ations of the Americans being unmo-
| Tested.
The following morning the lombard
ment was reopened to cover a landing
of $50 bluejackets and marines about
half mile above the town. On enter
ing Orani, the Americans experienced
a slight rifle fire from the Filipinos in
the trenches. They found the town
untenanted and that the shells had
| ignited few huts.
Aguinaldo, according to a report
brought to Manila to-day by Domin-
lean friar from the north, has issued
orders to the Filipino soldiers in the
northern provinces to return to their
| towns and resume farming. This story

DALLAS (Texas), Oct. 5.-The latter

was to-day restored to the remnant of

lage, presented the flag to Governor
Sayers, who in turn presented it to

sociation of Terry's Rangers. Great
enthusiasm was manifested during the
proceedings.
The flag is an interesting relic. The
Rangers claim it was never captured,
but that was lost while they were in
retreat. The Indianans, however, assert
that it fell into their regiments hands
during the heat of battle. Terry's
Rangers formed one of the most famous
regiments of the war.
