Interesting reformation of St. Helena


There is some interesting information
on st. Helena in an article which
the governor of that colony, Mr.. Stern
dale, has contributed to the current
number of the "Asiatic Quarterly Re-
view. The tenacity Of Official tradi-
ton is Illustrated by the fact that even
now, nearly eight years after the death
of the great Napoleon, he must never
be referred to as Emperor. This is a
survival of the strict rule of Napoleon s
gaoler, Sir Hudson Lowe. Once. in a
dispatch to the Colonial Office. Mr..
sterndale did style Napoleon Emperor,
and his attention was drawn to the in
advertenee by an official. The house
in which Mr.. sterndale wrote his ar
ticle' contained number of relics of
the captive Emperor, including Ma
poleon's bookcase and cabinet.

EARLY LAMPS AND wioKs. !
The Latter Were Commonly the Pith
of the Rush.


1t would be hazardous to conjecture
what the first wick consisted OF, but
when we come to consider the iron
lamp or "crusie," we know that the
wick commonly nsed was the pith OF
lie rlsh, which was gathered and par
Us, stripped Of its outer green cover
ing cut into proper lengths, dried and
tied up into bundles ready for use. The
iron lamp was hammered out of one
piece of iron in stone mold. This
was usually done by the blacksmith,
and the molds are still to be seen in
museums, in the hands of private col
lectors, and, no doubt at some of the
country blacksmith shops. They are
of uniform shape, with some slight va
rieties. The lamp consists of two cups,
one suspended above and inside the
other. The suspender is so fixed and
notched as to enable the upper cup,
which holds the oil and wick, to be
shifted, and to keep the oil constantly
in contact with the wick. The lower
cup catches the drip of the oil, which
can be easily replaced in the upper cup
by lifting it off until the oil is poured
into it. The upper cup has sometimes
movable lid. There is a remarkable
resemblance not only between the iron
crusies in this country, but to those
on the continent and in Egypt. They
preserve the same general shape, but
differ in the material from which they
are made The Pompeian lamps, or at
least some of them, might be described
as three cruises in one. The cup of the
lamp is the same, but 1t has provision
for three lights. The oil used in the
Scotch lamps was of the coarsest kind.
On the west coast the oil used was, and
is still, fish ell. The material for wicks
was variable.

GAME WARDENS ACTIVE
HOLD UP A PRIVATE CAR, BUT FIND
-cNO CAME


The private car of Supt Shaker Of the
Western division of the Omaha road,
with Mr.. Shaker and party of friends
aboard, was held up last Sunday by a
deputy game warden, armed with a search
warrant, who insisted upon searching the
car for game, which it was believed had
been killed contrary to law. The warden
has reported the circumstances of the
occurrence by letter to State Executive
Agent Beutner He states that the car
passed through Heron Lake some days
previously with guns, ammunition, dogs
and other hunting equipment, and he,
feeling sure that violation of the law
was contemplated, secured a search war
rant and awaited the party's return.
His search Of the car revealed no game,
but he is Of the opinion that this was due
to the fact that the agent of the Omaha
road learned Of the issuance Of the war
rant and warned his superior of his dan
ger.
The warden in Sherburne county writes
that he has possession of two guns
thrown away by hunters whom he was
pursuing, and that one of the men will
test the powers of the game wardens by
bringing suit to recover his gun
Justin Lackey has been sentenced at
Tower to sixty days in jail for shooting
deer contrary to law, a carcass having
been found in his possession. He has
declared that he will appeal to the district
court.
A man named Rhodes was fined SIS at

SOUTH DAKOTA SOLID.
SENATOR PETTIGREw's OPINION
OF THE CHANCES OF CAMPAIGN.


Senator R. r Pettigrew paid a visit to
st. Paul yesterday He was on his way
home to Sioux Falls, S. D. The senator
was very busily engaged in transacting
business at some of the railroad offices,
but took time enough for an interview
on political matters
You may say that the Democrats and
Populists in South Dakota are thoroughly
in sympathy and will be solidly united
at the polls this fail There is no founda-
ton for the statements that the Peoples
party folks are miffed at the Democrats
over anything that took place in conVen-
ton affairs or that is the outgroWth of
any of the conventions, and they will
demonstrate this fact by giving their ut
most support to the national ticket this
fall. The reform people will all be found
heartily cooperating in the campaign"
AS to the Republicans on the other
hand, said the senator, their forces are
under the command of Gen. Apathy, and
they themselves do not hope honestly for
any sort of success in the state. There
Is friction on every hand, and, unless
some miraculous change comes about the
result will be an Overwhelming defeat
for the Republicans
Senator Pettigrew has a unique plan for
settling the contest between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in his state: He
says that since Roosevelt, who is to make
a tour of the state is conducting his
campaign specifically upon the cowboy
plan, he proposes that a genuine South
Dakota cowboy be chosen and pitted
against the rough rider from San Juan
for a contest at lassooing. The one that
takes the prize at the match will be re-
garded as the winner of his respective
party. If Roosevelt can beat the Da-
kotans at their own game they will be
conceded the election, and make no fur
Their ado about 1t, but if he is beaten by
the cowboy, he is to take himself out Of
the state at once and alter his manner
of campaign.
Roosevelt is billed for ten speeches in
the state" said the senator, land we
have made arrangements with Senator
Blackburn, of7Kentucky, to follow him I'D
and deliver a speech in every town that
the rough rider speaks in, Blackburn
speaking, in each instance, one day after
Teddy.
when I think of Teddy firing upon the
Spaniards at San Juan hill, am remind
ed of the death Of Gen. Warren at the
battle Of Bunker Hill, and after the death
Of that gallant leader of the act of a
British officer turning and then pouring
a fusillade into the defenseIess fort. I
think the memory of San Juan flirnsy
picture for the Republicans to hold up be-
fore the faces of the voters this fall
Senator Pettigrew went from here to
Minneapolis, and then proceeded home. He
will be actively engaged himself in the
campaign this fall
