NIAGARA RAPIDS WATERS.
Proved This Summer That They Will
Completely Divest a Body of
Its Wearing Apparel.

This summer one of the pet theories
of the Niagara river men has been
smashed. AS far back as the earliest
histories of the Niagara frontier go,
it has been said that human bodies
were stripped of their clothing only by
passing over the falls. When it has
been suggested that the lower rapids
were as apt as the falls to remove
clothing from body the Oldest of the
rivermen have ridiculed the idea,
says the Buffalo Express. The
rivermen, however, have been contra
dicted, and now the proof is strong
that they were but poorly posted on
the powers of the rapids. Two bodies
in passing through the lower rapids,
those of Gertrude Roth, late of AL
lentown, Pa, and John Delmage, late
of Niagara Falls, were completely di-
vested Of wearing apparel, and the
body of the late Rev. John O'Donnell
of New York, lost the most of the
clothing while going from the railway
steel arch bridge to Queenston. Two
of those named committed suicide by
jumping into the river from points
close to the railway arch bridge, and
one of them jumped from the bridge
The rivermen take consolation from
the fact that their theory stood for
over 100 years before persons with a
suicidal mania forsook the falls and
chose the lower rapids as their jump.

POOR WHITES AMONG BOERS,
They Are OF the Lowest Grade and
Are ON a Level with the I'm.
civilized Kaffr.

In the early days Boer easily &C.
CURED an immense extent of land,
which furnished grazing for his stock
and gave him his small summer har-
vest, ample for his simple wants, says
Chambers Journal. But subsequently
these acres were divided among the
children, and again subdivided; and so
the cutting-up process continued I'M
til, finally, the present generation pos
sesses, in TOO many instances, merely
a plot of ground and little stock,
upon which even the most Industrious
Boer could barely support himself and
his family. Thus, broadly speaking,
originated the class of Beers termed
poor whites" degenerate descend
ants of the stalwart, Woodworking
Dutch pioneer. These unfortunate
people have not only suffered from the
curtailment of their ancestral do
qualities of their gallant forefathers;
and intellect ually, morally and phys
ically they are of an inferior order.
At present the condition OF the low
est grade of Boer may be classed on an
equality with the Kaffir in his unciv-
Ilized state; they are uneducated, ig-
norant Of the most simple matters,
filthy in their habits, and frequently
live in remote and isolated places,
where little intelligence reaches them
Of what is occurring within a radius Of
q few miles of their homes. Among
them idiocy and deformity are too
often visible, which have been traced,
to some extent, to the intermarriages
that have been going on unchecked.

CHINA'S WESTMINSTER.
An Edifice Sacred to the Memory of
the Great Confucius, Sage
and Philosopher.

The temple of Confucius at Chu-fou-
hsien in the Westminster abbey of
China, and the grave of that sacred
parsonage is the most noted spot in
the grounds. A sacred mound sur
mounts the remains of CONTAGIOUS.
Near the mound is a building erected for
the meditation of those who render
homage to the greatest Chinaman who
has ever lived. Near by is a tree, said
to have been planted by Confucius-
or, rather, the trunk of it, for it is dead.
The tree is on circular stand of stones
and mortar, close by huge table of
stone that looks like marble, having
been polished by devotee.
The mound, says the London Mail,
is only IL feet high. Before it is tab
let bearing the name and the works of
foot of the tablet is the famous incense
vase.
The inscription reads: "Chih Shang
Hsien Shin K'ung Tzu," which means
the perfect sage, the former teacher,
the philosopher K'ung. Near to the
tomb of Confucius is that of his son,
who died four years before the Chinese
seer; but the tomb of the grandson
attracts more notice because it is al
most as grand as that of Confucius.
There are thousands of graves near
the shrine of Confucius, and the nearer
they are the better the lot of the de-
parted, according to the belief of the
Chinese. The keepers of the temple de-
mand fee before showing the place
to foreigners

AT this early writing the chances

AT this early writing the chances
seem more than even for Dahle's re-
election to congress. The Democratic
factional fight in Dane will injure
Awkward considerably and the DAZZLE
managers claim their man will get
from 1000 to $500 majority in that
county. Columbia county will very
likely give him at least 1900 more,
and we fail to see how Mr.. Awkward
can expect to overcome this strong
lead, even should Dodge and Jefferson
come to the front fairly well. The
Second district will no doubt continue
in the Republican column.

Mr.. Award in a Doubtful State.

Evidently Mr.. AyGWard, the DEM
ocratic nominee for congress in the
Second district, has no share of that
imaginative faculty which enables a
few of his party associates to express
confidence in the election of Dem
ocratic candidates by the votes of
Wisconsin citizens this year. Ger
tainly no Republican will deny that if
there is district in the state which
intelligent persons might give reasons
for considering doubtful, it is that one
in which Mr.. Awkward has been Sc
lected to lead the Democratic cam
paign. In his speech before the con-
vention which nominated him at
Watertown on Monday, Mr.. Awkward
said:
This district was meant to be Dem
'ocratic and it naturally is and ought
to be- It has been said that this year
it is Democratic. I would like to
think it were so, but cannot; it can
only be made Democratic by hard
fighting till the polls close
The Democratic candidate can prove
the accuracy of his statements ana
show the substantial reasons for his
doubt in the official figures, if any Of
his more reckless party associates at
tempt to make light of his prudence
The Second district not only was
meant to be Democratic when it was
blocked out by Democratic legis-
lature, but in the first election after
it was formed the Democratic candi-
date received a majority of $500.
Two years later Democratic policies
and promises were repudiated by the
election of Republican. In 1896
there was new and still stronger argu-
ment for the Republican candidate
when the Wisconsin Democracy re-
pudiated it's own announcements
of a few weeks previous in favor of
honest money to follow Bryan in ad-
vocacy of debased currency. Even
in 1898, with the Republicans lacking
| in harmony and with light vote, and
the Democratic candidate making a
vigorous campaign and fitting his
| financial views to those of individuals
as they were met with, the sturdy
COMMUNICATIONS found no occasion
to redeem the district to Democracy.
The voting strength of the Second
district is with the farmers. They
are slow to change in politics. They
are not easily misled in respect to
their own interests. They know the
difference between hard times and
prosperity and during the last eight
years have had striking examples OF
both. Mr.. Awkward does not overesti-
mate his chances for a defeat as they
would exist even if he had been NOM
mated without the bitter factional
fight in his own county and the pro-
tracted contest in convention which
ended in the defeat of two German
American candidates representing the
two counties which are expected to
furnish all of the Democratic majority
such defeat being accomplished by a
deal between the candidates from Re-
publican counties, in the interest OF
the shrewd young politician of Irish
antecedents.
The situation in the old-time Dem.
ocratic Second district, as defined by
the Democrat most directly interested,
presents pleasant starting point for
those who pretend to believe that

Manual Training in Germany.

Manual training is more general in
Germany than in any other country,
population considered. A recent con-
sular report shows S61 schools and in
stitutes and 1,514 worksh ops in which
manual training is carried on, distrib-
uted in sos places. Of this number $50
schools and Institutes are conducted
on pedagogical basis. Prussia has
$40 manual training schools. Of the
1914 pupils workshops 435 are devoted
to wood carving, SGT to working in
card board and 356 to the carpenters
bench. Over 1000 German teachers
have been taught to become instruct
ors in manual training.
