Great Pile of Human Bones Is I'm
earthed by WOrkmen in
Richmond, Va.

City employees at Richmond, Va. the
other day dug trench in the center of
Fifth street near the almshouse and in
what now is populous district. At a
distance of two feet they struck large
deposit of human bones. The skele-
tons were packed close together, as if
buried in one large grave. Dark stains
and shapes in the earth show where cof-
fins had once existed.
About 200 skeletons were unearthed
in a trench seven feet wide. No digging
was done on either side and the extent
Of the burial place is not known. An
old citizen suggests that the remains
are those of victims of cholera epi-
demic in 1910, when the locality where
they are buried was waste land. The
street grade where the bodies were
found has been lowered several feet in
late years. No soldiers were buried
there during the civil war.

CORSET STEEL SAVES HER LIFE
Defects a Rifle Bullet from n Chicago
WOman's Heart-Occurs at
Atlanta, Ga.

Mrs. c. w. Phillips, of Chicago, who is
visiting the home of Mrs. Milton Dar-
gan, in the fashionable suburb of West
End, Atlanta, Ga, owes her life 10 =
steel corset stay. Mrs. Phillips was
preparing TO leave West End for the
city, and was awaiting car, when she
felt severe shock over her heart. and
looking 10 the sidewalk, found rifle
bullet which seemed TO have glanced off
her body. Fearful lest she might have
sustained a wound. Mrs. Phillips Wis
tied a doctors office. where, after an
examination, she was assured that she
was unhurt, but that if the steel corset
stay had not DETECTED the bullet it
would have penetrated her heart. Mrs.
Phillips saw a young man standing
near with a parlor rifle, and thinks he
was responsible for the deed, though he
denies it. The bullet found on the side
walk fits his cartridge and he will
probably be arrested and charged wit
reckless shooting.

American People Fast Lertving the
Latter for the For her
beverage.

More coffee and less ted or a substi-
tuition of coffee for tea, secs TO be the
rule with the American people just
now. The coffee importation ofthe last
year has been the heaviest in the his
tory Of the country and the tea impor-
tation the lightest in many years. The
importation of coffee in the calendar
year 1897 was over s00.000.00 pounds,
and in 1898 the figures will be about the
same as those of 1897. In no earlier
year were the importations ever as
much as 7OO.0OO,O0O pounds. This is a
larger amount of coffee for each individ-
ual than ever before consumed in the
country, the per capita consumption be-
ing about IL pounds annually, while
no earlier year showed as much as ten
pounds.
Reduced to tons, the total for the
year 1898 would be 400,00 tons, requir-
ing for its transportation $1,000 cars,
which, if grouped in a single train,
would nearly reach from New York to
Baltimore. The United States is by far
the largest coffee consuming country in
the world, its own consumption being
nearly double that of all Europe. and
practically half of the coffee produced
in the world. In only two countries
Holland and Denmark-is the per capita
consumption larger than that of the
United States. that of Holland being 23
pounds per capita and of Denmark Is
pounds. against IL pounds per capita
in the United states, 5H pounds in Ger
many. 3A in France and less than one
pound per capita in Great Britain.
Tea importations, as already indi-
Gated will be unusually light during
tn year just ended, and the withdrawal
of tea from warehouse for actual con-
sumption will be much less than the
actual importations. The total impor-
tations Of tea for the calendar year will
be about 6s,0O0,000 pounds, while in
past years they have ranged upwards
of 90,000.000, those of the fiscal year 1897
being 113.000,000 pounds.

HARD FIGHT WITH A BIG EAGLE
New Jersey Sportsman Has a Hard
TassIe in Dispatching
the Bird.

What is believed TO be the largest
eagle ever killed within the borders of
New Jersey was shot after hard fight
a few days ago in a swamp near Green
Creek, in Cape May county. w. S. Ed
ridge, of that village, is the proud pos
SCISSOR of the honor.
Eldridge, who was out in search of
rabbits, came upon the big bird in q
dense lot of underground, where it was
feasting on rabbit which it had
caught. Ravenous with hunger, the
bird paid little attention TO the hunter,
plainly showing by its attitude that it
meant fight. Raising his gun, Eldridge
fired two loads of No. s shot into the
body of the eagle, which only had the
effect of angering it.
Before the hunter could reload his
gun the bird flew at him and sunk its
talons into his clothing. Eldridge man
aged to beat the bird off, but not before
it had done considerable damage. The
badly frightened gunner quickly threw
several shells into his gun and again
blazed away at the eagle at close range.
Many of the shot passed through the
birds head, killing it. When he reached
home Eldridge measured the bird and
found that it was feet IL inches from
tip to tip of its wings.

Leo xiii. shown In the Vatican sO 4
Interested Audience at
Chicago.

Animated pictures Of Pope Leo Xtll
taken IN the vatican were exhibited The
other night at Chicago 70 an apprsci-
ative audience. Rev. Thomas j. Ma
lone, of Denver Col, who has charge of
the exhibition, gave an interesting adj
dress on the history of the papacy be-
fore the showing of the pictures. In his
closing remarks he told of Leo's love
for America and her institutions, aud
he spoke feelingly of him as the last
of three grand old men--Gladstone and
Bismarck being the other two.
The picture first shown on the canvas
was that of Cardinal Gibbons, of Bal
timore, taken in the grounds of ST.
Mary's seminary. An excellent view Is
given Of the prelate surrounded by
nearly 100 seminarians. A religious
procession on the feast of Corpus
Christi was the next scene. This was
followed by procession of priests
taken in monastery at Rome. An or
der known as the Brothers of Mercy.
composed of distinguished men i'm pro
fessional and religious life, is repre-
sented by several members. wearing
masks and strange garb, carrying
away the dead body of friendless man
who died in the streets of Florence.
Italy Scenes in a monastery of Ca.
puchin fathers and the papal guards
were greatly admired by the audience.
Pope Leo being carried through the
logic on his way TO the sistine chapel
and his return after pontfical mass is
magnificent production. In the next
picture the pope is seen stepping out
of carriage in the vatican gardens. lie
takes a seat on "a stone bench and be-
slows the papal benediction. lie is
seen again driving through the gardens
in an open carriage. Getting out of the
vehicle he takes a seat on temporary
throne and his blessing is again be-
slowed.

FORTUNE FOR ADvENTURER


Edward +. Gibson, a Boston young
man, has had $4,000 left him by the will
of his aunt, Mrs. George NJ. Rich, who
died three months ago in Chicago.
Gibson is 81 years old, unmarried, and
was born in South Boston. About six
years ago he started to travel around
the world, and his life since then has
been one of adventure. During his alb
sence he did not write home, and upon
his return to Lawrence, Mass, recently
he learned that his parents were both
dead
Gibson says he passed the greater
part of the first four years of his alb
sence in India, Japan, China and Aus
tralia. Then, returning to California,
he engaged in fruit farming. but last
February, when war was threatened
between Spain and this country, he
caught the war fever and sold out TO
his partner and went TO Florida. He
enlisted in the First United States reg
ular infantry, and was among the first
troops to land in Cuba. At Siboney he
was hit in the thigh by Mauser bull
let, but recovered sufficiently to ac-
company his regiment to FL Caney.
Here a fragment of a shell hit him in
the groin. He was sent to the United
States hospital at Thomasville, Ca,
where his recovery was rapid, and he
was soon able TO resume duty. Gibson
says that Mrs. Rich, who had no chill
dren, was his mothers sister. and that
he, as the only child living of his pa
rents, is now her only heir.

WAR ON AMERICAN BICYCLE
Lengths to Which German MaDufac-
turers Have Gone to XIII
Out Our Trade.

The length to which European man
ufacturers are willing to go in their
efforts to crush out American COM
petition is shown in the following re
port to the state department by Dean
b. Mason, vice consul at Frankfort:
Failing to obtain from the imperial
government the prohibitory import du-
ty on American bicycles which they
have so earnestly and persistently de-
manded, the members of the German
Bicycle Manufacturers association
have decided upon the following simple
but ingenious plan to kill the Ameri-
can cycle trade in this country. From
this time forward they will unanimous
ly refuse all credit to any dealer who
handles, as part of his stock in trade,
a bicycle of American origin.
THE association includes in its mem
bership nearly 100 of the most impor-
tant bicycle makers in Germany, who
h~ve been accustomed hitherto TO give
retail dealers from two to four months
credit and very liberal terms in respect
10 parts and repairs.
'Since the majority of independent
bicycle dealers in Germany are in close
business relations with and under per-
sonal obligations TO one or more manu-
facturers, it is expected that the effect
of this heroic policy will be to serious
ly injure the sale of American bicycles
unless exporting manufacturers in the
United States take an aggressive atti-
tude and make the cOmDetition so hot
that the German makers will be COM
PEELED TO make peace by resembling the
present decree"
