AGE OF MAN IN AMERICA.
A subject That Has Been sobcrIy Dis
cussed and IntcmpcratcIy
RidicuIed.

The claim of satisfactory evidence of
the extreme antiquity of man in the
valley of the Delaware river has been
sobcrly discussed and intemperately
rdiculed until the public both scien-
tiiic and general, have bccorle tired of
hearing the subject mentioned but
this Is no valid reason why the truth
should not be ascertained. says the Pop
ular Science Monthly. If n man in
paleolithic stage of culture did exist on
the Atlantic seaboard of North Amer
lea, then we have a basis upon which to
build-a tangible starting point from
which to date history of human ac-
tivities on this continent. AS it is, we
have but an immense array of facts,
largely underrated, and the greater
portion sadly distorted and misleading
because of the reckless theories set
forth with them by their discoverers,
and undoubtedly there never has been,
in the whole range of scientific agita-
ton of simple question, so great
volume Of reckless assertion, illogical
deduction and disregard Of exact state
ment. The main question was often
wholly lost sight of and the authors
sole purpose that of demonstrating
some one else in error. Predetermina-
ton on the part of many has been IA
tai to the value of their field work.
Convinced on theoretical grounds, such
are necessarily blinded when on the
spot where positive evidence occurs. He
who does not desire the object searched
for seldom finds it; and later in the day
pride declines to accede to the just de-
mands of candor-the admission Of
having reached wrong conclusion.

FLORIDA TOWN WIPED OUT.
The Recent storm Was Worse Than
ut First Reported.

TALLAHASSEE. Fla, Aug. 4.-The
first train from Carrabellc, through the
storm stricken gulf section, since Monday
reached here yesterday afternoon. The
crew and passengers agree that the re-
ports of the destruction wrought by the
storm have been extremely moderate.
Carrabelle is literally wiped from the
map. Her docks and wharfs, containing
about 100000 feet of lumber and 5000
I barrels of rosin, were quickly swept
away.
Thirteen of the IA large lumber vessels
in the bay were blown ashore and are
now lying well up ON dry land. These
vessels contained several million feet of
timber. Their names cannot be ascer-
tained. Only two or three huts are left
standing in Carrabelle, and one colored
woman is reported to be killed by the
falling of house. Citizens of Carrabelle
are hocking in every direction for relief.
The town is isolated, and the wires are
all down.
The towns Of Mcintyre and Curtis Mill
are completely demolished, and large in
terests have been destroyed.

A Monument to General stark.

PERU, VT, Aug. S.-The erection Of a
monument to commemorate General
Stark's heroic march with 1000 men
through the wilderness to meet the in
vasion of the British at Bennington was
begun here yesterday with the laying of
the cornerstone amid exercises of espe-
cial interest and large gathering of
country folk. Reuben Bigelow Burton,
Jr, Of New York laid the cornerstone.
The site, which is made memorable by
the encampment of General Stark upon
1t, lies a short distance north of this vii
lage. 1t is only small clearing on rising
ground. Around it on all sides is the
same wilderness of forest nearly rs un-
broken us on the day when General
Stark made his march through it.

A HANDCUFF ADVENTURE.
The Awkward Predicament of q
JOcular Mail Clerk who Got
Caught in One.

a little iun at the birmingham post
Office led to u remarkable sequel, says
the South Wales News. Among the pos
tai tickets was u parcel containing a
pair of handouts, which were being
sent from Derby to q manufacturer In
birmingham to be fitted with Il key.
The paper covering of the package had,
during transit, been badly torn, with
the result that when the handouts
reached the Birmingham sorting officer
they were exposed to view.
They were an object of curiosity, and
presently one of the clerks jocularly
clasped one of the cuffs round the wrist
of his left hand. TO his dismay there
was no key to unfasten it, and he there
fore went to the central police station.
Here ley was found, but as the officer
was turning it il broke off in the cuff
The situation, at first comical, had now
become really serious. The broken key
would have to be drilled out or the hand
cuff filed through before the clerk could
be released from his unpleasant incum-
brance. But it was Sunday and no
place OF business WAS open. The clerk
therefore returned to the post Office and
explained his plight to his superin-
tendent, by whom he was ordered to so
to Derby by the first train the next
morning, explain the whole circum-
stances to the owner of the handouts
and apologize; and then return to
birmingham and proceed to the manu-
facturer and have the handcuff taken
off.

NONE WILL USE 1T NOW,
Strangely FntcfuI Desk I'm n Kan
sus School That Has Bcep
Abandoned.

There Is n desk in the Stanley school
in Argentine that is no longer occu-
pied, because it is marked by i'll fate,
says the Kansas City Star. The last
three pupils it accommodated met vio-
lent deaths within year and now it
is used as stand for plants and flow
lers that serve the double purpose of
cherishing the memory of the unfor.
tunate children and excluding others
from the ill-starred seat.
Miss Selby, teacher of the room In
which the desk stands, is not supersti-
ltious, but she will scarcely be blamed
for her reluctance to assign any more
of her scholars to occupy that particu-
lar piece OF furniture. One year ago
a bright little girl who sat in it was
thrown from horse and sustained in
,juries from which she died Three
months later Lee Jewett, boy in the
same class, who next used the desk,
was drowned while bathing in the Kaw
river, near Turner. Three men met
their death while trying to recover
young Jewett's body and the tragedy
will long be remembered in Argentine.
The last scholar to use the desk was
Bert Jessup, aged 12, who, week ago
Saturday, went huAting frogs with an.
other boy and 22-caliber target rifle.
The gun was accidentally discharged
and Bert sustained wound from which
he died early the next morning.
The sad reflections inspired in the
minds of teacher and pupils by the rec
ord of the year in that schoolroom
have naturally developed q prejudice
against the desk Of fate that, in the
case of the pupils at least. borders very
closely on superstition.

Gold From the Klondike.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 9.-Reports re-
ceived by the director of the mint show
that so far this season the amount OF gold
received at Seattle from the Alaska gold
fields aggregates about S4,9OO,OOO, of
which S4,01S,262 arrived during July.
The amount 50 far received at San Fran
cisco is approximately $2,7000O0. These
amounts, however, do not represent the
entire output of the fields, as large guam
titles are supposed to have been held for
later shipment and considerable amounts
are believed to have been brought into
the United States by other routes than
San Francisco and Seattle.

A GOOD GREEK.
Deaib of George AveroG, who Gnys
Away Millions

ALEXANDRIA, Aug. IN. George
Avcrof, the wealthy Greek whose gift OF
1,OOO,OOO francs for the restoration OF
the, Stadium Mt Athens led to the re-
vival of the Olympic games n few years
ago, has just died here in his seventeen
yenr.
The late Nj. Avcroff, who was born in
Metzovo, Epirus, was man of almost
innumcrable charities. When lad of
IL, he became II clerk in his uncle's
firm in Moscow and upon the death of
his relative inherited S500.O00 This
fortune he increased enormously as 4
contractor for the supplies needed for
the Russian troops in the Crimean war
and later as banker in Alexandria.
He never married, and it has been un-
derstood that his desire was to make
the Greek navy his legal heir.
AT the outset of the Greco-Turkish
war he won the special gratitude of the
Greeks by presenting 10000 uniforms to
the Hellenic troops. In the erection of
public buildings in Greece and the main
tenance Of public charities and other
philanthropic interests he is said to have
expended no less than S7,500,000. 1t
was his generosity which made it posi-
BILE for the Olympic games to be so sue
cessfully revived in Athens in 1896. The
games were played in the Stadium. which
he rebuilt. The lower part was con
structed OF marble, but owing to lack
Of time the upper part was finished in
wood and painted white. Subsequently
the wooden superstructure was rcmov-
ed and replaced by marble at NJ. Aver
offs expense. On April 5, 1896, the
day before the opening of the games,
the Duke of Sparta unveiled statue of
the philanthropist, erected by the CRATE
full citizens of Athens. The restoration
of the Stadium cost upward of 100000
francs.
In Alexandria NJ. Averoff built n
church, boys school and n girls school
called the Parthonagogeion. The teach
ers in both schools were paid by him.
In Athens he endowed and built boys
reformatory, a military school and a
polytechnic college which cost more than
S3OO,000. He was unaffected and unos-
tentatous.

4 Difference Only In Name,

We call it ice cream, To the English
it is known as cream ice. just when or
where it was invented is the question
many people have tried to solve. In the
beginning of the century it was almost
unknown in England, though well
known in Naples and Sicily, where the
cream was artfully made into copies of
peaches, apples, apricots and such dain-
ties, much as we have them to-day made
in molds.

McOlure's Magazine for August.

McClure's Magazine for August, with its
special cover designed by Will II. Low, its
protuson of beautiful pictures, its half dozen
excellent stories, and its other interesting
contributions is number to allure one out
of any degree Of midsummer Indifference.
1t has an illustrated article on "The Cape
to Cairo Railway" by w. T. Stead whose
acquaintance with Cecil Rhodes and other
promoters of the enterprise has yielded him
much new and valuable information regard
ing it. Miss Tarbel contributes a new ac.
count OF Lincoln's assassination and death,
embracing interesting unpublished reminis-
cences from men who were with Lincoln at
cifterent moments during the last twelve
hours OF his life; the article is illustrated
with the last life portrait Of Lincoln and
other pictures. But the number is especially
"Mtdsummer Fiction NUMBER" and its
more particular excellence lies in its short
stories. These are Of the most varied char.
acter, comprising dramatic story of the
courts; humorous story of Irish life; a
thrilling true story Of the United States Sc
cret Service; a pathetic and tender love
story; a kindly, human story of the circus
clown Of early days; and breezy, amusing
racing story. All of the stories are well il
lustrated; and of not one Of them is the
reader likely to say, Il tried that and could
not make it CO." They one and all have
ready interest; and at the same time, they
have substance and significance. The S S.
