from Chicago:
A man from one of the suburban
towns called at lawyers Office one
day and asked him:
"Can't given name be changed il
a man wants it done and is willing to
pay for it?"
"Certainly," replied the lawyer, "if
there are no good reasons why it
should not be DONE"
"Wen," rejoined the caller, "my
name is Park"

''I named my Oldest boy Washing
tom"
"Well"

"Washington Park and Jackson
Park. Very good"
"But there is daughter. Lucy, who

ICE CRUSHING STEA MERS.

The great and powerful ice. crush
ing steamers of the lakes are without
exception ARTERIES, is, they
transport whole trains of passenger
and freight cars from one terminal of
railway line to the other, thus con-
shutting an important link where
bridges would be impracticable.
These ice challenging ferries ply
the straits of Mackinac, the Detroit
River, and across Lake Erie from the
American to the Canadian shore.
They are huge steel shod craft weigh
ing several thousand tons, and some
of them have cost more than $780,
600 each. Fitted with propellers at
either end, they crumble the ice by
the pressure of their great bulk as
though it's three or four feet were but
thickness of cardboard.
Whatever else is wanting, adven-
ture is not lacking in the lives of the
men who spend the months of snow
aboard the majestic monsters which
are to the lake tracks what the snow
ploughs are to the railroad lines. A
few winters since, with the Their
mometer ranging from Is to 80 de-
grees below zero, one of the car fer
ries was caught in an immense ice
field on Lake Erie, and floated around
for months with great mass of ice
piled mountains high around her. A
portion of the crew was of course
obliged to remain aboard, and each
tempt-not always successful-to go
ashore in order to secure provisions
and supplies. Often times this meant
a long, dreary trip across the ice, and
frequently, when yawning chasm of
dark hued water interviewed between
the shore and the edge of the ice
field, the foragers were not able to
return to their imprisoned comrades
for intervals of several days.
The success of the Russians, whose
employment of powerful ice breaking
steamers enabled them last year to
keep open to commerce Vladivostok
and other ports previously closed
during several months of the year,
has very naturally started an agita-
ton for the use of such facilities on
the great lakes of America. Indeed,
it is not impossible that a project
embodying some such idea may be
brought up in congress before the
close of the century. With a con-
stantly increasing dependency upon
the sources of our iron supply the
advantage of navigation the year
round would of course be vastly
greater on the inland seas of America
than at Russian ports, the commerce
of which is in the first stage of de-
To the people of Montreal
the vision of an agency that would
keep that port open to waterborne |
commerce in the winter is a most al
Turing one. The frozen channel of |
the st. Lawrence has ever proven a |
serious barrier to the development of |
Canada's oceanic shipping interests,
and naturally if there be any way to |
this blockade of snow and ice |
it will be eagerly sought.-Sef Culture

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 25.-The ex-
plosion of a gasoline stove in the
basement of the Metropolitan hotel
yesterday afternoon was followed by
q fire which burned that building and
the Hewlett block adjoining, causing
q loss of about 100000. The insur-
ance amounts to about three-fourths
of the loss. After two hours hard
work by the firemen the flames were
beyond control, and fearing the entire
block, including the Porter buildings
and the Morris hotel, would be swept
away, a telegram was sent to Mont
gomery, asking for aid. An hour later,
however, the fire was under control,
and the request for help was counter
manded. Everything ON Twentieth
street, from First to Norris avenues,
is a wreck but strong fire wall
back of the Hewlett building and the
Metropolitan hotel prevented the fire
from extending any further in that
direction. The Borney bank removed
all it's books, money and fixtures from
it's building and company of militia
was called to guard and keep back the
crowd. A number of guests in the
lIetropolitan narrowly escaped.

Washington, Feb. %. - The Clark
case. before the senate committee on
elections, reached an important turn
ing point yesterday. The defense an
nouroed the conclusion of the presen-
tation Of it's case, and the first witness
put on by the prosecution for the pur-
pose OF rebuttal, was heard. The
witness was Attorney General Nolan
of Montana. 1t is understood that he
is the first of eight or ten witnesses
who will be called in rebuttal. The
attorneys for the prosecution say they
expect to conclude their presentation
early next week. Attorney General
Nolan's statement bore especially
upon the interviews between himself
and Witness Lyons. He asserted that
Mr.. Lyons told him that he knew
that the votes of various members of
the legislature had been unduly in
duenced in Mr., Clark's behalf. Much
Of the day was spent in debating the
ACCESSIBILITY in this connection Of
Gen. Nolan's report of the proceedings
of the grand jury of Lewis and Clark
counties of Montana. 1t was decided
to limit the questions upon it to the
portions which had been brought into
question by witnesses for the defense.

burg correspondent of the Daily Tele-

of war, who is a strong Boer sympa-
thizer, is responsible for the recent
movement of Russian troops. He
failed to gain the approval of the mill
tary authorities, whereupon he SUBJ
mitted the plan to the czar suggesting
that it was good time now that Eng
land was engaged, for Russia to gain
her ends. To his surprise the car de-
clined to give his consent to any plan
for utilizing Great Britain's difficult
ties. His majesty said: ''It is my in
tention to maintain the strictest neu-
trality during the war; notwithstand-
ing the popular sympathies for the
Beers" This is tantamount to a VIC
tory for the foreign office. Count
Muravieff was strongly opposed to

fluence is considered considerably
