The leader of the anti-Semite party
IN France. Edouard Drumont, strange
as 1t may seem, is Jew himself. His
career seems to have been one OF in
consistencles. At one time he was in
the service Of the imperial police and
employed to shadow and draw up re-
ports against such people, as the Mar
quis de Rochefort and others, who are
now his friends. Some time later he
acquired the confidence OF the great
Jewish banker. Isaac Percire, who at

POWER OF HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Widespread Error in Regard TO Thsiy
Devastating Effect


There is widespread mlsapprehen-
sion in regard TO the devastating effe-t
OF these high explosives, for when uh.
confined the effect even of large
Charges OF them upon structures IS
comparatively slight, says Popular Sci
ence. At the naval ordnance proving
grounds, so long ago as 1884, repeated
charges OF dynamite. varying from five
pounds TO one hundred pounds in
weight, were detonated on the face OF a
vertical target consisting OF eleven
one-inch wrought iron plates bolted to
a twenty-inch oak backing. until 4i0
pounds OF dynamite had been so de-
tonated In contact with II, and yet the
target remained practically uniniured,
while at Braamfonteln the accidental

gelatin, which was stored in railway
vans, excayated but 10000 tons OF soft

effect, but the amount of explosive In
yolyed was enormous and the material
one OF the most energetic that we pos
sess. while. II We compare It with the
action Of explosives when confined. its
effect becomes quite moderate. Thus,

powder placed in. two chambers OF the
rock dislodged from 1861 900 to 2O0,O 900
tons Of rock. We might cite many
SUCH examples. but on comparing these
We find that the gunpowder confined in

Braamfontein, while the dynamite at
Fort Lee was over ninety times as de-

mont wrote the most fulsome eulogies
of him, but when the heirs OF the old
banker dismissed him from the paper
and he learned that he had been left
nothing in the will.he became the most
bitter enemy of the family and like
wise OF all members OF theJewish race.
Since then his time and effort have
been devoted to opposing the interest
and advancement OF the Jews in
France. He is considered a fanatic by
his countrymen and is seldom seriously
taken. Despite his peculiar actions and
apparent ingratitude he is not cow
ard and has fought several duels. He
is undoubtedly one of the most unique
characters now before the eyes Of the
French public.

IN PLACE OF GLASS.
Various Devices Were Used Before 1t.
IntroduCtIou


Before the Invention of glass various
devices were used in place OF window
glass. In the. orient and the old times
whdows rarely If ever opened upon
the street but upon the courts. These
windows were provided with lattices
or jslousies. Instead OF window glass
the Chinese used a thin stun vanished
with shining lac, polished oyster shells
and thin plates of horn. Among the
Romans, windows were originally
closed with shutters, afterward they
were made OF transparent stone, which
is supposed to have been mica: in the
second century they used horn. The
Venerable Bede says that glass win
dows were first introduced into Britain
in GA. but then and for many years
subsequent, the use of window glass
was confined to churches. In the
twelfth century houses in England tina.
were provided with window glass were
regarded as magnificent, and even in
the sixteenth century in England and
the seventeenth in Scotland only the
dwellings of the wealthy were provided
with glass.-Minneapolis Journal

Committed suicIde.

NEW YORK, August 26.-The French
line steamer L'Aquitaine, which ar
rived this morning from Havre, had a
death among the cabin passengers.
Margaret Minnehan, a former nun,
committed suicide by jumping over
board at a. M, on August 23d. The
alarm was quickly given, boat was
lowered and the woman was picked
up, but too late to restore her to con-
sciousness. A Roman Catholic priest
among the passengers performed the
burial service over the remains, assist
ed by a number of other priests and
nuns who were on board the steamer,
and the body was committed to the
sea. A passenger on board said that
the deceased was a nun in a Roman
Catholic institution in France and was
dismissed for some reason which he
did not learn. On the voyage she
brooded over her troubles and became
demented, which caused her TO commit
suicide
During the voyage Miss Minnehan
had confded 10 some Of her fellow
passengers that she had been a nun,
but her love for a young man caused
her to leave the convent and she felt
she had disgraced her family. She
said she was on the way to her brother,
a priest located in Pennsylvania.

BARBARITIES
Practiced by Filipinos Upon Our
Soldiers on the
Islands.
Examples of Cruelty Given by n
Lieutenant. Who Has just Re-
turned on Sick Leave.

EMPORIA, kans., August 26.-Lieut.
William Weaver, of the Thirty-second
United States volunteers, who resigned
in the spring on account of illness, and
has just returned home from the Phil
ippines, tells Of barbarities practiced
by Filipinos upon American soldiers.
He said that outside of the Macabebes,
who were friendly to the Americans,
the Filipinos are very cruel.
Six men were killed at Dinalupija-
ham, said Lieut.. Weaver, and do not
think there was man who had fewer
than ten bullet holes in his body.
In the case Of one American soldier,
it looked Us though the muzzle of the
revolver had been placed right in his
eye and fired; he was also stabbed in
the neck and breast with bayonets.
Here is another example of their
cruelty: Harry Easter, of Emporia, and
Mcdonald, of Iowa, two of my COM
pany, were killed instantly. Harry
Easter was shot in the neck and the
other man was shot in the back of the
head. Only about twenty OF the com
pany were with them and they We're
attacked by about $50 Ffhpinos.
'TThe Americans fought them an hour
and forty-fve minutes. They had to
leave the dead, and when they came
back the rebels had stripped the boys
of all their clothes. They pulled up
grass and sticks and built a fire on
their breasts. We got to the boys be-
fore anything further was done to
them. We got Easter and the other
man away before they were burned"

ALLEGED MALPRACTICE

Town.

Leads 10 RIOT IN an IIilhoIs
Town.
GILMAN, Ills, August 26.-Michael
Ryan, who, with others, accompanied
Constable John Milstead tonight to
serve a warrant for malpractice on
Mrs. DR.. C. NJ. Wright, was fatally
shot by an unknown inmate of the
womans lyingin hospital.
The victim of the alleged malprac-
tice was a sixteen-year-old girl named
Bessie Salter.
The town is in a fever Of excitement,
a mob surrounds the house Of Mrs.
Wright with threats to fire it and the
inmates have not yet been arrested.
The death of Bessie Salter occurred
Friday. The body was taken to her
home during Friday night and was
buried secretly in the cemetery Satur-
day by relatives.
AS soon as the facts became known,
a coroner's jury was summoned and
the coroner ordered the body ex-
humed.
a warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of DR.. Wright, and a crowd of
men went with the constable to serve
it. They knocked on the door, got no
response, and forced their way in.
Then someone fired out of the inner
darkness. Ryan fell fatally wounded,
and the crowd retreated, carrying
Ryan. AS they departed, three more
hOts were fired after them. Denis
carr was shot in the leg.
As this despatch is closed, the fire.
bell is ringing, and it is probable the
crowd has fired the hospital.

Ell PASO, Texas, August ga
runner arrived here to-day from the

had been found almost persisted of
thirst on the desert beyond there. He

Cook, who recently came to this city
from the East The men left Alamo
Gorio, N. NJ. on bicycles Thursday
bound for Ell Paso. They took the
overland road through the Tularosa
valley. On that route there is a desert
of sand seventy miles wide When the
three men had gone about thirty miles,
their bicycles broke down and they
had to walk.
One OF the men reached the Cole
ranch, but had to be treated for sew
eral hours before he could speak. He
then told of his companions. Two
men, with jugs of water tied on their
saddles, went back to search for the
the missing men. One was found If
teen miles away, exhausted and uncon-
scious in the sand. and was brought to
the ranch. The other, Prof. Cook, was
found twenty miles further away, in
spasms, and would probably have died
in an hour had he not received water.
All the men are now in a critical con-
ditiOn at the Cole ranch The names
of the other two men were not
learned.

THE national committee has deemed

sustain the organization which was
recognized by the national committee
at Philadelphia. We cannot see where
any good can result from such an indie
pendent movement, and sincerely trust
that no loyal Republican will lend
his influence to the movement"
The Brownlow organization was the
one recognized for the most part at
Philadelphia. 1t is thought to be Tire
chief aim Of Senator Hanna 10 get bnt

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, August 26.

Tennessee:
Chairman Upton, of the Evans State
Committee, was asked to-day what eff
feet Mark Hanna's letter would have.
He replied that it would have the same
effect as shaking a red rag in the face
of an angry bull.
I'VE do not recognize Mr.. Hanna as
our boss and we wear no mans collar, -
said Mr.. Upton. Our committee
meets next Wednesday to organize for
the fight an, if there are any members
on it who do not want to fight they
will be asked to step behind tree and
let the battle proceed"
ours is the regular ticket and if
Hanna does not know it is is because
he has refused to investigate or listen
to any one but Brownlow."
