Matches were dollar gross cheaper
last year than in 1895. That was not
much of burden on the working man
or his wife.-Madelia Times.
The workingman and his wife use so
many gross of matches daily that the
fact above stated is of peculiar interest.
Never mind how mnch kerosene for his
light and the denim for his overalls ad-
vance in price so long as the working
mans matches get cheaper, Long life

Venezuela, 1t Is Reported, May Sc

Atlanta.

Venezuela and not Colombia may
secure Jay Goulds old steam yacht
Atalanta, according to a report per-
sistently circulated during the, last
few days. Colombia negotiated for
the vessel last summer and the trans
action was said to be closed, the pur-
chase price, according to the contract,
being named as $4,000.
Before matters came to a head,
however. but after half of the pur-
chase price had been paid, there was
revolution in Colombia, President
Sanclemente being deposed and super
seded by Vice President Marroquin.
1t was said that the Colombian gov
ernment intended to use the yacht
to enforce the payment of indemnities
by Venezuela. claimed because Of aid
given to the insurgents by Venezuel-
ans. Colombia's option on the yacht
expired about month ago, and she
still lies at the Erie basin, where she
was taken to receive her armament
when the question of converting her
into cruiser was first mooted. No
guns, however, were ever placed on
board of her except her saluting can

BORDER.

Gen. Gree,ey, chief signal officer, has
received a dispatch saying that the
military telegraph line has been com
pleted from Port Egbert, or Eagle
City, Alaska, to the international
boundary line near Dawson. The Ca
madam line extends from the boun-
Diary to Dawson and from that city
southwark to Skagaway.
There is a gap of about 35 miles in
the line from Dawson to Quesnelle
and the Canadian company is consid-
ering the adyisability of covering this
line by couriers during the winter.
the building of the line had to be
abandoned on account of severe
weather.
AS the line reaches Skagaway it is
within three days sail of the tele-
graph office at Victoria, and this
brings the troops of the United States
at Fort Egbert within telegraphic
communication with the war depart
ment at Washington save the three
days delay.

THINKS PEARY HAS FAILED.
EIveIyn Baldwin Believes Explorers
Dash for the Pole Is
Checked.

Evelyn Baldwin, who is in charge
of the Baldwin-Ziegler expedition that
is to start out in 1901 in search of the
north pole, stopped in Boston on his
way to Nova Scotia. In speaking of
the report from Edinburgh that the
Scotch whaler Eclipse had returned to
Dundee with members of the Stein ex
pedition to Ellsmere land, Mr.. Bald
win said that if it were true that Lieut..
Peary did not get under way from the
headquarters at Etah until last Au-
gust it would seem to show that again
he had been hampered in his efforts
to reach Port Conger in time to make
dash for the port early next spring.
Mr.. BALDWIN thinks that Peary will re-
main during the coming winter at
Port Conger and make the effort in the
spring and summer of 1901.
"We are left to surmise what has be-
come of the Franz" said Mr.. Baldwin.
ut seems singular no news has come
from Capt. Sverdrup. l consider, how
ever. that there is no cause to be over
anxious concerning the safety of either
Lieut.. Peary, Capt. Sverdrup or the
Windward."

A TENNESSEE ROMANCE.

One to be transported among the
most romantic Southern scenes has
only TO see the production of "A RO-
nance of Coon Hollow" which will
hold the stage at the Auditorium
Thanksgiving night, November 29th.
Here, mirrored by nature in beauty
and quaintness, are given pictures Of
life in old Tennessee. 1t is a story of
love and jealousy told in a graceful
way, and given realism by stage effects
that are reflections of every day life in
the South Among the scenes are
plantation Gotten press in operation,
and a moonlight revelation of the fam
Gus glen Coon Hollow, with electric
and lime light effects, in which the
frebugs fit through the trees and the
night birds sing among the branches.
Another a night view, depicts the his
toric boat race between the Missis-
sippi River steamboats,, Robert E. Lee
and 'Natchez, brilliantly lighted and
under full steam. On the levee a
bevy of darky boys and girls troop
down to see the vessels pass, and in
dulge while waiting in jubilee singing
and buck and wing dancing. A we'll
selected company will appear in the
production, now in its seventh season.

curious Irish Pledge.

A society has been formed in Ireland
for the purpose of pushing the sale of
Irish goods and putting a stop to the
sale of foreign goods under Irish "col-
ors." This society is called the Irish
Shop Assistants Industrial league, and
is the result of a resolve among young
men patriotically disposed to serve
Irish goods wherever possible. The
members sign pledge which runs as
follows: 81 hereby promise to do my
utmost to sell an Irish made article on
every possible occasion (when not det-
rimental to my employers interests),
and to do all in my power to promote
the objects of the league for the pur-
pose of upraising the industries of
country."-N. Y. Herald.

WILHELMINA's HUSBAND.
Prince Henry VIII Not Cut Any
Figure in Netherlnnd
Politics.

The future prince consort of Hol-
land, Prince Henry, will not be an
important parsonage politically. In
fact, he will have no excuse for mix
ing in politics if he had the desire to
do so. He may share the queens pop
ularity by being just the good hus-
band of his wife, an exemplary head
of society and, above everything else,
patriot. The parliament, the cabi-
net, the council of state lin which the
regency was vested) for all purposes
of government exercise legislative and
executive power. They are the root,
stem and branch. The queen is the
flower. Her husband has no place in
the constitution and would be ill-ad-
vised indeed to try to create one, says
a foreign exchange.
Although Prince Henry bears a high
rank in the German army, he is not
German, The proud boast of his
house is that they are Wends-that is
TO say, Slavs. Nothing annoyed the
late comte de Paris more than to
read in the papers that he was the
son of German princess. He claimed
that she was a Wend. As a child. she
was called by her erudite tutor "the
queen of the Wends." The grand
dukes of Neutrality-suspicious. have
also been from time immemorial
princes of the Wends. The high sense
of dignity shown by their daughters
in not changing their religion. as they
might garment, is surely no German
characteristic.

TREASURES OF AZTEC TIMES.
Valuable ArchneoIOGicnI objects
Found in the Gale de las
EscalcriIlas.

The work that has been carried on in
the Gale de las Escalerillas for the lay
ing of the sewer mains has led to i'm
portant archaeological discoveries, for,
as is well known. that street. as well
as the present cathedral, formed part
of the site of the great temple of HUT
zilopochtli, the Aztec god of war.
The latest discoveries seem to be
the most important Of all. Foremost
among them are two figures of the god
Ehecatl (god of air), the companion of
Quetzacoatl. One of these figures is
painted red, yellow and black, and, in
spite of the dampness of the ground
where it has lain for centuries. the col
ors have remained fresh and vivid.
These idols are adorned with disks
of gold, which are polished and en-
graved in remarkable manner, says
the Mexican Herald. The disks are
about 20 centimeters in diameter and
the gold plate is of fair thickness.
Other objects found at the same
time were four ear ornaments of gold.
gold jewel case belonging to the god
of air, beads, amulets of green stone,
axes of slick, small idols of stone. lances
of sharp stones, a curious mask of
pyrite of iron, knives of large dimen-
sions, a mask of diorite, censers of
earthenware painted in colors and many
other figures of stone and cement, the
latter being always polychromatic

"WET" OR DRY"
The Township Of AurG'Iq8 viii Vote on it
DeC.. 8.

The Whisky Question" is one that
has held the attention of the people
Of Macksburg and vicinity for nearly
a year past. Maclsburg had been a
"wet' town until last spring. AT the
election last spring, which was a most
exciting one dry council was elect
ed. This council ordered the saloons
closed. The saloons were closed il
the village, but as there was no cleo
tion held in Jefferson township, No
Bile county, which extends down to the
edge of rhe village, the saloon man
built a house near the village and
started saloon. Jefferson township
then held an election and by a close
vote became dry" The saloon men
then claimed that the dry" people
of Dexter City had taken too much in
terest in the matter, and decided to
put a saloon close to Dexter City,
which has been dry for years. They
accordingly put ND saloon in Enoch
township, opposite Dexter City. The
"dy' people of that vicinity had an
election and by a close vote ousted the
saloons frcm that township. Now the
saloon men say that they will bring
whisky back to Macksburg and Aurel-
ius township IAN election will be held
on December to vote on the ques-
ton wet" or dry for the township.
Both sides claim ,hat victory will be
theirs.

vermont Gains in Formulation

Vermont, according to the census
report, has gained 1920 in population
the past ten years, it's population now
being 343,641, as against 332, ,422 in
1890. 1t is interesting. to note that
during this same period the large
places-Barre, Bellows Falls, Benning-
ton, Burlington, Montpelier and st.
Johnsbury-have gained over $4,000,
so the small towns, the rural sections
of the state, must have lost quite a
few people. This is, however, only
what is happening in nearly all the
eastern states-the cities are gaining
at the expense of the country.

Rats In Japan.

There are perhaps in no other
country of the world SO many rats as
in Japan. The wooden buildings with
their straw roofs offer the best lurk-
ing places for them. Whilst we use
dogs and cats to get rid of the rats,
the japanese employ for the same
purpose certain kind of snake. the
"dodaishos," blue-green viper. They
are sometimes as long as seven feet,
and are said to be the best rat
catchers in the world.
