A FATHERS FATAL NEGLECT.
It Results in the Death of Himsel

gr Results in the Death of Himself
and His Family.
Savannah, Ca, May 29.-Mail ad-
vices from Kardeeville, S. c., say:
About three miles from this village. on
the Cestreicher farm, last Tuesday
hight, occurred terrible tragedy, in
which nine persons lost their lives.
A two story frame building on the
farm was occupied by Jacob Solomons,
his wife and seven children, the eldest
aged 1G years, and the youngest an in
FAINT of year. On "Wednesday some
one passing saw that the house was
gone, and on approaching to investi-
gate found that every vestlge OF it was
burned and the bodies OF the nine oc-
cupants, or rather the charred trunks
of nine human bodies, were lying in
the ashes.
The coroner's inquest disclosed these
facts: That the house WAS shattered
in the lower story by the last autumnal
storms, which also carried away the
chimneys; that Solomcns had resorted
to the makeshift OF building two fires,
one to cook on and the other for
warmth, inside the lower stories of the
EOuSc wv i4llli oti " D e~is'S''
from the board floor on small pieces OF
Iron. The smoke sparks and fame as
capped from the fire as best they could.
Evidently after the family had re-
tired upstairs the blow that came up
at IL o'clock that night famed the
flames, which communicated to the
partition of the stairway and set the
house aflre.
Agonizing shrieks, it was learned,
were heard by neighbor mile dis
tant, and must have come from these
unfortunate creatures when they were
precipitated into the holocaust that
was yawning below them. Jacob, the
father; Amy, the wife and mother;
Rollins. Hattie. Charlie, Nora, Isaac.
Willie and Mamie were all burned
The verdict of the coroners jury was
in effect that they came to their deaths
through the culrab!e negligence of ia
cob Solomons in neglecteing to build q
chimney for his familv's nse.

Manila. May 29.-rhe approach or
the wet season finds the instruction
seemingly taking q new lease Of life.
All along the American lines the rebels
are showing more aggressive activity.
in their guerilla style. than at anytime
before since the fall Of Alalolos. They
keep the United States troops in the
trenches. sleeping in their clothing
and constantly on the alert against
dashes upon our cutposts, and they
make life warm for the American
garrisons in the towns.
The bands of General Luna and Cen
eral Maszardo, which retreated toward
Tarlac when they feared they would
be caught between General Macarthur
and General Lawton. have returned III
force to their old trenches around San
Fernando, where there are daily COLI
sions.
Opposite our lines on the south. pro-
tccting Manila al the way around to
San Pedro Macati. the Filipinos have
three rows of trenches most OF the
distance
Reports from prisoners indicate that
the insurgents construe the peacenego-
tiations to mean that the Americans
have had enough of fighting. The
Filipinos are also encouraged by the
belief that the Americans are prepar-
ing for an interval OF inactivity dur
ing the wet season.
This period is sure TO be followed
by much suffering. Thousands OF
acres that were under cultivation last
year have not been plowed this year.

Climb to the Top Of High
Mountains.

One Of the most remarkable facts
known to all our mountain climbers Is
that the height of man is diminished
TO an extraordinary degree by the time
he has reached the summit Of a con-
siderable mountain.
So much Is this the case that a six
foot man Is actually diminished in
height by full inch by the time he
reaches any of the best known of the
great Alpine SUBMITS, though the
usual diminution, produced in very few
hours, is three-quarters of an inch.
The extent of this diminishing of
height has caused much discussion for
some time, but doctors generally at
tribute it TO the peculiar position most
ly maintained in climbing. One note
worthy feature is that the more heavily
laden the climber may be the greater is
the diminution.
Although the height of all men grows
less to the extent of three-quarters of
an inch, the diminution varies greatly
in individuals of the same normal
height beyond that extent, and the nor
NAL height is not resumed for some
hours after the climb.

THE BULLFIGHT.
An Eyewitness Describes the Cruelty
OF the Spaniards and Bravery
of the Animals.

The trumpet sounds again and the
espada takes his sword and his muleta
and goes out for the last scene, says the
Saturday Review. This, which ought to
be, is not always, the real climax. The
bull is often by this time tired, has had
enough of the sport, leaps at the bar
rier, trying to get out. He is tired of
running after red rags, and he brushes
them aside contemptuously; he can
scarcely be got to show animation
enough to be decently killed.
But one bull that saw was splendid
ly savage, and fought almost to the last,
running about the arena with the sword
between his shoulders and that great
red line broadening down each side of
his neck on the black; like deep layer
of red paint, one tricks ones self into
thinking.
He carried two swords in his neck,
and still fought; when at last, he, too,
got weary and he went and knelt down
before the door by which he had en-
tered and would fight no more. But
they went up to him from outside the
barrier and drew the swords out of him
and he got to his feet again and stood
to be killed.

AMERICAN manufacturers made their
highest record in foreign markets last
month. The figures of the March ex-
portations, which the treasury bureau of
statistics issued this month earlier than
on any previous occasion, show that the
March expectations of manufactures
were S36O25, 1888, or more than % per
cent in excess of any preceding month
and 80 per cent more than in February,
1899. In March last year the exporta-
tions of manufactures were S28,2l4, ,450;
in March, 1897, S25, ,S76, 1851, and in March,
1896, S19, ,125, 795. On only two occasions,
March and December, 1898, have the ex-
ports of single month ever reached

THERE is great deal said to-day con-
corning the great trusts and combina-
tions of capital that are being formed in
various lines of industry, and it is far
from impossible that their control may
enter into the sphere of partisan politics
in the near future, and that some party
will strive to ride into power on the
popular antipathy to any kind of monop.
oily. While it easy to inveigh against
trusts, it is not easy to tell what to dc
with them, and people should demand OF
any party that tries to win on an anti.
trust platform, that it not only take a
position of opposition, but that it pro
pose remedy, or offer a method that
will improve the industrial condition fol
the benefit of the whole people.
The true northerner., 1899-05-10
Without an Issue.

"A man without country" was not a
whit more mournful spectacle than is a
party without an issue. Such party
the democratic party seems to-day. The
perpetual party of opposition scarcely
knows "where it is at" although 1t will
be certain to bob up serenely IN 1900 with
some specious platform, probably found
ed on sophistry, with which it will en-
deavor to catch the people. However,
at present the situation within the de-
mocracy is a remarkable one.
In the West, the large portion of the
party, under the leadership of Bryan,
who asplres to again lead democracy to
defeat, cling to the vagaries and exploded
fallacies of the Chicago platform. Free
silver is yet their slogan, although silver,
in sympathy with the general advance in
prices, has gone up so sharply as to
threaten TO make the 50-cent dollar cry
a thing of history. If it should do that,
however, it may enable "Coin" Harvey
to rejuvenate his pole team of wheat and
silver.
In the East, sound money principles
pervade, regardless of party, but the de-
mocracy, opposing as usual, is "agin the
government" in its foreign policy, partic-
ularly in the Philippines. And right
here Mr.. Bryan, so far removed from
eastern democrats on the financial ques-
ton, is exactly with them as an anti-ex-
pansionist; while most of his western
adherents, following him blindly in the
free silver idea, are in thorough sympathy
with the president in his foreign policy.
In these times of the largest business
and wonderful prosperity, the free trade
notion cannot unite the democratic
party with any hope of success. In view
of these matters, it is pertinent to ask,
where is the democratic party atY"
