WHaT FILL THEY DOo

When the Chronicler of the Rochester Democrat reads of the New Jersey gen. tleman who proposes to supply the agri-
 cultural world with artificial fertilizers
 made from the nitrogen of the atmos-
 phere and of the New York gentleman who advertises himself ready to furnish liquid air at so much per hogshead in any quantity to suit purchasers, it oc-
 CUTS to him that the world has plenty of use for the atmosphere in it's nor
 mally nitrogenous and unliquefied con-
 dition, and, so far as any one knows, has no more of such atmosphere than it imperatively needs in its business. Also such extensive alterations of existing geographical conditions as cutting inter oceanic canals and making a sea of the Sahara might alter existing conditions, other than geographical, in such fashion as to materially interfere with the com- fort and convenience of the present in- habitants of the world. When men tap the earth for natural gas and oil, he asks, do they ever stop to think of the purposes that may have been served by these provisions of nature in the place where nature put them and of the pos sible consequences of withdrawing them therefrom? Isn't it possible that man, in his theory that everything in the universe was meant for him to play with and that he is, therefore, safe in doing wha tever he pleases with anything he can find, electricity Roentgen rays, the absolute zero, etc., is taking a good deal for granted? Isn't it possible that, puny as he is, he may some day open some small valve or disarrange some minute but essential connection in that mighty

That is an interesting suit which has been brought in the Supreme court of New York by the Society of Colonial Danes of America for permanent iu- junction restraining from the use of the title Colonial Danes" the Colonial Danes of the State of New York and the National Society of the Colonial Danes of America. And that was in- teresting testimony given yesterday by Mrs. Emile McKlm Reed of Baltimore, delegate to the first meeting of the National Society of Colonial Danes of America. Mrs. Reed testified that the membership of the National Society of Colonial Danes numbers about 4000 at the present time. There have been an- nual reunions of the society at Wash ington, she said, ever since it's organiza- ton in April, 1S90 Mrs Reed, in answer to question from the counsel of the defendant organizations, said that she did not know exactly what was meant by the title Colonial Danes"
 Well, we'll! Umph and also Ugh! Not know exactly what Colonial Danes are? There are people in New Haven who know,

was of the trying sort. With suitable human lining, however, the latter dress would be much the handsomer. It is always so with things that to many are unattainable. The left hand one was in rose pink and white figured India silk, with deep yoke and vest of white silk and lace. The other was white broad cloth, trimmed with silver embroidery, plaided white and silver gray taffeta surah furnishing yoke and sleeves.
 While skirts that are out of date seem almost hopelessly so, there are few of them that cannot be restored by wise choice of overdress Take, for instance skirt that is out of style as regards it's back pleats. It can be brought up to the seasons requirements by adding an over-dress of lace laid flat from the waist to as near the knees as you like Black all-over lace, and white or yellow are pretty and make the skirt of last seasons dancing dress seem quite as fine as one of this season. Another way is to run bands of insertion, laying the in- sertion on the skirt from belt to hem or half way down. Let the edges of the insertion touch or overlap at the belt and spread apart as the spring of the skirt requires, The result will be charm ing. The bodice may be trimmed to match, the insertion close at the belt and spreading to the bust line.

 The Russian attempt to deprive Finland
 of what remains of it's independence as

The overdress is taking princess form very frequently and dressmakers are assuring their customers that it can be worn much more safely than can the gown in one from throat to skirt hem. This is true, but should be qualified somewhat. That is, there are some forms of princess overdress that do not demand more than the average figure, while others are little less trying than full princess gown. Each of the two types has representative in this pie ture. The left hand one, because of it's open and tripmed front is the one that is not exacting, while the other, having nothing to relieve it's midway plainness,

When the American eagle reads that the Carnegie Steel company has con- tracted to supply the Russian govern ment with 1S0, ,000 tons of steel rails dur ing the next twenty-six months he will give an extra scream, and he will be fully justified in so doing. The deal was closed in Philadelphia two days ago. It is said to be by far the largest single order any firm in the world has ever agreed to fill. Its imme.isity will have an important bearing on the future price of steel and iron products, as such ex- tensive railroad building as the Russian government will undertake insures an increased tonnage in all the allied steel trades.
 Some big orders in rolling stock track supplies, bridges, etc, are to be let by the Russian Imperial Railway commisi sioner, and American firms are bidding, They will doubtless get enough of the contracts to add to the gloom of the English and German gentlemen who are trying to study out how the workers Of the United States are getting ahead of the English and German workers.

LIGHTNING.

Curious Franks Observed By Wealth
 CT Bureau Attache for Fourteen
 Years.
 An official attached to the weather bureau has kept, during the past four teen years, all of the best authenticated accounts coming under his eye of the pranks of lightning throughout the world. One of the facts to be deducted from the great mass of stories about the electricity of the heavens Is that light hing cannot be dodged or avoided. There are many accounts of lightning striking and killing timid women who had taken refuge under beds and in closets. In most of these cases it Is shown that the persons who have remained in the rooms abandoned by the victims thus killed while seeking safety have escaped unharmed. The state of Kansas seems to have the palm for the fierceness of it's electrical storms with all of the staets of the Missouri and Mississippi valleys following close behind An ar my officer riding from Leavenworth to Fort Leayenworth, Kan, in August, 1889, was shocked three times by bolts striking near him. He saw nine huge trees driven by separate bolts. His horse died later from the electrical shocks, while the officer himself suf- fered no injury of any importance. There are stories of three women, one in Kansas, one in Arkansas and the other ill Missouri, having been struck dead by lightning while carrying infants in Ir-- harmed in each case.

A cheering official statement concern inr the financial condition of Italy was made the other day by Signor Boselli, the minister in charge of the treasury. He said that the current financial year would close on the 30th inst, with sur plus of about $600,000. This sum- how ever, could not suffice to assure equilib- rum between revenue and expenditure unless real economies were affected, new expenses avoided, and actual eX- penses vigorously controlled. Severe and prudent administration of the na- tional finances was imperative, inas- much as the country was unable to sup port new fiscal burdens. He was able to report some signs of economic devel- opment. Improvement was observable in certain departments of national in- dustry, and Italy was prepared to ln- vest capital accumulated during recent years In the savings banks alone there were now $40, 100000 on deposit
 The two chief dangers which threaten ed italian prosperity were speculation and incautious administration of the treasury. The present financial condi- ton might be called satisfactory, there being cash balance more than sufficient for current needs. Signor Bosellis statement was received with great en- thusiasm, in spite of the many crafty qualifications attending his deciara-
 ton of national solvency.

Liquid air can be used to produce high vacuums with great rapidity. A com pany has been formed in London, with a large capital, for the purpose of at- tempting to cast steel in the high vacu- pectation is that the air bubbles which now cause flaws and weaknesses in steel produced by the ordinary methods prevented, thus allowing the production of a quality of metal superior to any that the world has yet seen. If the ex- periments succeed there will be some- thing very like a revolution in the steel industry.

Booker T. Washington, president or +he Tuskegee Industrial and Norman school who is now in Europe, has wrlt- ten a paper on the race question m the south in which he appeals to the citi- Szens in the South to assist in creating such a public sentiment as will make b,,noan life there as safe and sacred as anvwhere else in the world. q fear, he writes, "but few people in the South realize to what extent the habit of 1ynching, or the taking of life without the due process of law, has taken hold snf us and to what an extent it is not only hurting us in the eyes of the world hut jnjuring our own moral and mater ia1 growth" After giving figures to show the extent of lynchlng in the South, the paper says: "The practice has grown up until we are now at the point where not only blacks are lynched in the south, but white men as well, Within the last six years at least half ! dozen colored women have been lynch ed. I am not pleading for the negro alone Lynching injures, flinders, and hunts the moral sensibllties of the young and tender manhood of the South"

The cloisters of the Church of St. Ethelreda, Ely Place, Holborn, London, are now being used for purpose very different from that for which they were originally intended. Father Jarvis, the head of the House of Charity there, has placed them at the disposal of any cy- clists who may wish to store their ma chimes while attending divine service. In Essex the unwonted spectacle Of monks riding bicycles may be daily witnessed. The Franciscan fathers who have charge of the mission at Braintree have also to attend to the spiritual needs of two other missions at long distances and. in order that they may accomplish this work, they have, with the permls- sion of Cardinal Vaughan, invested in cycles, on which they ride from one mis- sion to another-

A FAMILY is SLAIN.
Tho Triple Tragedy Near PoseyvliIe
Indiana.

The Triple Tragedy Near Poseyvilie
Indiana.
There is a strong belief among the
farmers living around Poseyville, Ind,
that Stephen Glawser did not kill his
wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. Eliza
beth Kinchloe. and then commit sui
eide, but that the three were murdered.
Many of the neighbors say a young
man living in the neighborhood had
often threatened to kill Glawser and
his family. The young man has disap-
peared. and this fact strengthens the
theory. The remains of Mrs. Glawser
and Mrs. Kinchloe were buried in the
same casket in the Poseyville Gem
etery the other afternoon. Over 1000
curious spectators were present There
was no service of any kind at tho
grave. The remains of Glawser were
taken in charge by his father and
were buried in secluded spot on his
farm. The crime, whoever committed
it, was a terrible one.
A farm hand named Ramsey living
near the Kinchloe farm, discovered the
building on fire and gave the alarm.
With a dozen farmers he rushed to
Mrs. Kinchloe's house. The doors OF
the house were barred and the win
dows securely fastened. The men bat
tered down the front door with axes
and entered the burning building. In
one corner of the house lay the bodies
of Mrs. Kinchloe and Mrs. Glawser.
The body of the mother was lying
across the body of Mrs. Glawser. The
bodies were badly charred and could
not be recognized. The rescuers took
the bodies from the building and
rushed back to look for Glawser. They
found his body on the bed and by his
side was q shotgun. The clothing had
been burned from the body Glawser
was 81 years old, and came from one
of the most prominent families in
Posey county. Mrs. Glawser was IS
years old. and would soon have be-
come a mother. Mrs. Kinchloe was 40
years old. Glawser is said to have
told some of the neighbors a week ago
that he could not live in peace with
his mother-in-law, and that he was 60
ing to kill them. Those who heard
him make .he threat did not believe
he would carry it into execution.

Drinking Among Children.

Bonn on the Rhine has been inves
tigating the liquor-drinking habits of
its small school children. Out of 247
children, or years of age, in the
primary schools, there was not one
that had not tasted beer or wine, and
but a quarter of them had not tasted
brandy. Beer or wine was drank reg
ularly every day by 25 per cent of the
children, while s per cent, including
more girls than boys, received a daily
glass of ccgnac from their parents to
make them strong, and 10 per cent
would not drink milk because 1t had
no taste.

considerable grain. Gibson's body
was found in a dark passageway lead
ing to the engine room. 1t is suspected
that he was shot by some one inside
and the mill set on fire to cover up
the crime. Near the charred remains
of Gibson, when the ruins were
searched, was found rifle which was
always kept at the mill, with three
empty cartridges; Gibson's knife, with
one blade open, and an adze, which be-
longed to the mill. The rifle cart
ridges showed by the indentations that
they had been exploded by the rife
hammer, and upon the knife blade was
a stain, supposed to be blood.

Murdered In a MILL.

Strong suspicious point to the fact
that William Gibson, whose charred
remains were found in the burned mill
of his father at Wakeman, Ohio, the
other day, was murdered.
Loud cries for help were heard COM
ing from the direction of the mill at
$3.50 in the morning, shortly before the
mill was discovered on fire. In search
ing for the remains a Winchester rife
was found with three cartridges miss
ing, and an open jacknife. 1t is known
that Gibson had large amount of
money on his person when he entered
the mill at 8 o'clock. Thieves had re-
peatedly entered the mill and stolen
