sugar nountH Law Dead.

I'm n unanimous opinion, written by
Justice Long, the supreme court on the
I'd declared the sugar bounty law of
1897 unconstitutional and void. The
opinion, which covers nine typc-writ-
zen pages, Grst quotes extensively from
she act OF aS97, which offered bounty
of one cent per pound for seven years,
and chen from the act OF 1899. for
which itwas claimed that while it does
not in terms provide for an appropria-
ZION of any moneys to pay bounty on
sugar, yet that 1T was the intent Of the
legislature to provide by the act such
bounty, inasmuch us Il committee Of
the Legislature caused statement to
DC made showing the different amounts
necessary 20 bc raised, which state
sncnt iucluded an estimate of Sl2,7l4
for AN excess of bounty over the tax
previously raised. and further csti-
mate OF $50, 90 aud Sl5O.O0O for the
years 1899 and 1000 respectively.

both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that 1t
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the international Jury to Singer Sew
ing Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
In either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris. and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action OF
the international Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer machines received 81
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
Should it be possible that any OF
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we woull
respectfully advise that they call al

can be found in all cities and mos!

Strike Notes.

The militia broke camp on the Sd
and departed for home the following
day.
The Philadelphia & Reading Coal
company has made a new offer to the
miners which is thought will ulti-
mately end the strike.
A futile attempt was made to blow
mp miners house at Hazleton, Pa. on
the morning of the Sd. The victim had
been working since the strike went
into effect.
The railroad companies have made
their last offer as an inducement TO the
strikers. The individual operators, it
is thought, are about to fall in line and
give their employees the 10 per cent adj
vance. 1t is now up to President
Mitchell to decide what he is going to
do in the matter of settlement, but
he is not talking for publication at
present.
The Reading company's Lincoln col
liery, employing about 900 hands, in
the west end of SchuyllIill county, Pa,
and the colliery of Torch, Moore &
Co., in Rausch Creek valley, employing
200 hands, shut down on the 4th. All
the collieries in the county are now
idle in consequence OF the strike.
About 200 mine workers at Pine Grove
have joined the miners union.
Three thousand strikers, headed by
a band and 300 slate picllers boys, the
latter carrying small American flags,
left Mt. Carmel on the 4th to march to
Trevorton, 1G miles distant, TO compel
the workmen of the North Franklin
colliery to remain at home. Leaders,
however, intercepted and finally per-
suaded them to so back home. But
the mine operators at Treyorton now
say to avoid trouble they will not re-
sumo operations.

Nine. WI. wife of the Chinese min
lister, is OF a lively temperament and
quick to respond to either humor or
sentiment. She has become warmly
attached to several American women.
The Chinese minister is an accom-
plished linguist, but his wife is not so
clever in this respect. She speaks
just a little English, enough to meet
the ordinary exigencies of formal re-
ceptions. Her accent is considered
charming. and she hopes in another
year to have added considerably TO her
English vocabulary. She can carry on
a more sustained conversation In
French than in English. In her own
tongue she is fluent conversational
ist, and keeps herself well Informed
on all the topics of the times.

Damage To Property and Live Stock


Masked men boarded Burlington
passenger train near Council Bluffs,
Ia, on the night of the Sd, and after
the engine, baggage and express car
had been cut loose from the rest of the
train, the engineer was ordered to pull
ahead half mile where u stop was
made. Here the robbers approached
the express car and ordered Messenger
Baxter to open the door. He refused
to do so. Under compulsion, Engineer
Donnelly attached stick of dynamite
TO the side door of the car and blew it
open. In the meantime, Messenger
Baxter seizing his gun, escaped from
the door on the opposite side of the
car. AS soon as the door was opened
one of the robbers entered the car,
while his companion marched the cngi-
neer and fireman back TO the engine.
Baxter crept around in front of the
engine, and seeing the robbcr keeping
guard over the engine crew, fired one
shot and killed him instantly. AS
soon as the shot was heard, the rob-
Der in the car jumped TO the ground
and fled through a corn field. The
dead man is still unidentified.

soLES SAVED LIFE.
IL IL Had Been Flesh and Blood the
Man Would Have PerIshed.

Man Would Have PcrIshed.
Mr.. West, a young man from Michi-
gan, who is a travelling salesman fer
the Armour Beef Company of Chicago,
representing the Boston division, was
in New Britain this week and in pass
ing along the street with a customer
they had occasion to cross the tracks
Of the third-rail cars, says the South
Manchester News, The young man
and his friend were engaged in earn
est conversation at the moment, and
the New Britain man, supposing that
the stranger knew of the danger that
turks in he third rail, did not sound a
note of warning until the young man
placed one foot on the third rail,
when, realizing instantly what had
occurred, he shouted to the drummer
to beware. Without knowing to what
the shout referred and thinking that
1t must have alluded to an approach
ing car or train, although he could
see neither, the westerner hurried to
step across the tracks and in doing
so placed his foot on another of the
rails, thus completing the circuit. He
stepped quickly over unframed,
whereas his companion expected to
see him corpse, as about $4,000 volts
OF electricity were speeding through
the wires at the time. A lady who
CHANGED to be passing by on hearing
the alarm and in expectation of wit
Messing a tragedy fell in swoon. The
sturdy young westerner, who had
never seen the tracks of a third-rail
train before, did not know what all
the excitement was about, and on be-
ing told Of what he had done his blood
began to run cold and he said that
he never experienced such orange
sensation as came over him at that
moment. He also stated that he did
not feel the slightest electrical shoc:
while on he tracks. The explanation
of his almost miraculous escape was
in the fact that he had pair of cork
soles underneath the leather soles on
his shoes, and these proved to be suf-
ficiently powerful as nonconductors to
save him from the effects of the dead
ly current. He realizes that those are
the most valuable pair of shoes he
ever owned, or hopes to own, and no
doubt will keep them as an heirloom
in his family and pass them down to
his posterity. On investigation 1t was
found that the leather sole was burned
where it came in contact with the live
rail. The young man says that there
are no third-rail cars or trains in the
west and that, therefore, while he had
read of such things in the newspapers
the fact had never made serious i'm
preston on his mind before. He is
not apt to forget this experience, how
ever. The young man was in town
here recently and gave the facts sub
stantially as stated to representa-
tive OF the News.
