Loaned Us Five Millions.

Last Sunday at:Burlington, VT, L.
E. Chittenden, who was register of the
treasury under Abraham Lincoln,
died, aged II years.
Mr.. Chittenden was probably the
last one who knew the name OF the
man in London who, in 1862, loaned
the United States government five
million dollars. Never, probably,
did more than four persons know the
name of this national benefactor, for
at that time the government was des-
perately in need of money. The loan
was made Through Charles Francis
Adams, then our minister to the Court
of st. James.
Mr.. Chittenden was frequently urged
to give the name of the man who made
this loan so freely, but he always de-
clined. But once he said, "a paper
has been drawn up containing his
name, and perhaps 1t will be turned
over TO the Treasury department in
time"
This meant that Mr.. Chittenden him
self had drawn up the paper, so now
at his death the government may come
into possession of the name of theman
and all the facts in the case.

SHE QUITS REFORM.
Kansas City and Sioux Falls Ticket
Denounced by Mrs. Lease.

Yanktbn, S. d. July 23.-Word has
been received here that Mrs. Mary e.
Lease has renowned Populists and
Populism. Mrs. Lease has spoken
hundreds of times during the last five
or six years in support of the so-called
reformed party" and denounced IRE
publicanism in the strongest terms.
She is now aiming her arrows at the
Kansas City ticket, In describing the
situation she says:
"We have the lion and the lamb.
the tiger and the mule, the fierce and
braying Pettigrew from South Dakota
and the aged bellwether Weaver from
Iowa, and whole cage full of tigers,
whose sleek, tawny hides and we'll COW
cred ribs indicate that they are willing
that all the other animals should fight
over the bones, provided they them
selves get their share of the meat.
The Populist party has lost what
fire and enthusiasm it had once, and
is now Doodle refuse that is destined
to become a mass of parasites on the
Democratic growth"

KILLED THREE
James Kennedy, Arch Ralston and
Henry Hows Killed Near Redfeld
Yesterday

Fit. Scott, July PA telephone
message received yesterday afternoon
from the little town of Redfleld, ten
miles west of the city, to the effect
that three men were killed by lightn-
ing one mile south of that town yes
terday afternoon.
The victims were Archie Ralston,
who lives in Redfeld, Henry Howes and
James Kennedy. They were at work
with a threshing machine and when
the storm came up they took refuge in
a near by shed. Roy Cox was also
with the party, but the lightning only
rendered him unconscious and he re-
vived in few minutes. 1t seems the
lightning did not strike the building
they had taken shelter in, but was
conducted into the shed through the
ground, which was torn up and show.
ed the effects of the terrible bolt.
The bodies of the victims were not
disiigured, but their clothes were torn
off. After the accident occurred DR.
Lease was called .and applied every
known restorative but without effect
and it is supposed death was instant
aneous.
Henry Howes was man about forty
five years old. If he has any rela
tives their whereabouts are unknown
Young Kennedy was about 20 ant
Ralston was about %. He had beer
working for about three years for ;
neighbor named Cooper.

Readers of the REGISTER remember
the closing of Otten's bakery last week
under an attachment run by a whole
sale flour house while John Often, the
proprietor, is in Jail. Mrs. Often, who
was trying at the time of the closing to
arrange matters with the creditors,
paying off the bills as fast as she was
able, has arranged settlement final
ly, has bought the stock from her hus-
band and Tuesday opened up the
store. She told the reporter that she
has hopes of sailing clear of rocks
and shoals now, and although the
bread wagon has been sold, the bakery
will be resumed and the shop and
lunch departments continued as be-
fore the lmishap. The REGISTER
hopes that this old house will be again
firmly established on its feet.

4 Race for Life.
lParis Le.ter.l

A bicycle race against tiger, with
his own life as the stake, was the
unique experience OF Frenchman,
Henri Gilbert. who recently arrived in
Paris after seven years walking tour
around the globe. He was encamped
near the village OF airing. in India,
where he met tourist with whom he
was soon on friendly terms. and whose
bicycle he borrowed for an hours
spin, the first in two years. Il left the
camp about l o'clock" he says. 'the
machine running beautifully. After
going some little distance / suddenly
found myself in a delightful open
glade, which was one mass OF verdure
and flowers. Here dismounted from
the machine, and, placing it against
bush, selected nice spot on which to
rest. Straight in front of me there
was small watercourse, in which
some pools Of rainwater still remain
ed. AS l sat there in contemplation
! heard sound in the bed OF the wa
tercourse and looking toward the spot
my gaze fell on an immense tiger, then
apparently unconscious OF my pres
ence. My mind was torn with agony
as to whether / ought or ought not
to make dash for the bicycle and life.
! knew that once astride the machine
In safety could outdistance the tiger.
Then another thought occurred to me

A PERSIAN Dinner.

Here is a description of Persian
dinner: The feast is preceded b.
pipes, while tea and sweets are handed
about. Then the servants Of the house
appear, bringing in long leather
sheet, which they spread in the middle
of the floor; the guests squat round
this, tailor fashion. When all are
seated fat loaf of bread is placed be-
fore every one, and the music begins.
The various dishes are brought in on
trays and arranged round the leather
sheet at intervals. The covers are then
removed. the host says "Bismillah" tin
the name Of Cod, and without another
word they all fall to.-New Castle
(Eng) Chronicle.
