Paul May, jr., aged about Is years,
a son of Paul May, the confectioner,
and Bonnie Burton (colored) about 16
years old, were drowned in the Lara
ME river, Just below the ~penitentiary
dam shortly after 3 o'clock this at
ternoon, and at the hour of going to
press the bodies had not been recov-
cred.
The boys had been in bathing and
young Burton, who was unable to
swim, got beyond his depth and called
for assistance. May was under the
impression that Burton was joking
and laughingly went to his assistance.
AS soon as the latter got within reach
Burton clasped him around the neck
with both arms, holding on with a
death-like grip. May was thus placed
in a position where he could neither
save himself nor his companion and
soon both sank to the bottom. They
rose to the surface once afterward, at
a considerable distance from the place
where they went down, the bodies still
clasped together, but one of Burton's
arms appraised. Immediately after they
sank again and have not been seen
since.
The tragedy was witnessed by two
small boys, who Immediately gave the
alarm, and the ews spread like wild
fire, a large number of persons con-
gregating at the scene in a very short
time. Volunteer divers Immediately
wen to work, but the hole was too
deep for successful work by this plan
and at 4 o'clock arrangements were
being perfected to systematically drag
the hole.
The hole is probably 100 feet in di-
ameter and very deep, the divers saying
they were not able to reach bottom.
1t will be impossible for the bodies to
float away, as the outlet of the hole
is a shallow, broad stream, not over
a few inches deep in any place. 1t is
probable the bodies will be recovered
before nightfall.

OUR R
Saturdays WYndstorm Did q Little
Damage Near University.

The small cyclone which travelled
over the northern part of the city Sat
urday afternoon possessed more force
than vas at first reported. Back Of
the university it blew down one of the
poles which supports the wires leading
from the weather tower to the univer-
sity building. and then proceeding in
a northwesterly direction twisted OF
one Of the trees on the campus. This
tree was about six inches in diameter
and alive and healthy. Al few shingles
from roofs and several panels Of fence
In the neighborhood zero also lifted
by the wind. The twirler seemed to
lose strength as 1t passed through the
streets and no damage was done out
side Of the vicinity Of the university.
As far a. known, this Is the first wind
storm approaching the CHARACTERISTICS
of q cyclone ever known ON the Lara
mic plains.

VALUE OF FRUIT AS FOOD.

Not Very Nourishin9, Though Exert
in1 n Bene Ecial Eject.
Recent experiments Of the Depa. &
ment of Agriculture show tna' ~ .
in general contain remarkably htue
stun that is convertible into muscle aud
blood. Bananas an.. e..pes have z
per cent, while apples. cherries. straw
berries, huckleberries. cranberries, lem
ons and oranges are able to lay claim
to only per cent-this, too, when SKINS
and seeds are put aside. On this ac-
count such articles Of diet are obvious
ly i'll adapted to sustain human life Tor
any length Of time, though they possess
great medicinal value and contribute
much to health.
Fruits are, however, relatively rich
in sugar and starch, and hence are use
full as fuel to keep the bodily machine
going. Bananas have q per cent OF
these materials, grapes q per cent, ap-
pies 10 per cent, cherries and cranber-
ries IL per cent, oranges per cent.
lemons 8 per cent and strawberries .
per cent. In this case, as before, only
the edible portions are considered
Blackberries and grapes have per
cent of fat and the other fruits men
toned contain 1 per cent. Watermei-
on pulp is 81 per cent water. says the
Saturday Evening Post.
Among vegetables lima beans have
the highest food value. containing 81
per cent of nutrients. Sweet potatoes
come next, with % per cent, green peas
next with p per cent. white potatoe>
next with Fl per cent and string beans
next with 13 per cent. Green sweet
corn has 10 per cent Of nutrients, beets
IL per cent, turnips II per cent. cab
bage, caulifiower and spinach per

cent and cucumbers per cent. Dry
beans and rice are about the most econ
omical foods one can buy. containing
as they do SO per cent of solid nutri-

turkey. A pound Of eggs. on the other
hand, yields only half as much nourish-
ment as a pound Of lean beef, nOtwith-

THE KEITH THEATRES.

In Philadelphia, New York and Bos-
ton. never experience such a thing as
Improbable business, but on the con-
trary they are described in the Ian
guage of the street as regular mints." :"
Mr. Keith has not only been a pioneer
in purifying vaudeville-for his good
example has been generally followed
since it proved to be good policy-but
he has wrought a revolution in the
vaudeville business. the intellectual
tone of this branch Of amusements has
been elevated beyond what would
have been deemed possible in the days
OF vapid vulgarity a dozen years ago.
The uniform excellence of Keith's
shows is too well recognized to need
mention. The best proof Of public con-
hdence Is that the sale Of admission
had to be stopped at times. The Bos-
ton theatre. which Mr.. Keith built a
few years ago, is one of the show
places OF the town. Edward Everett
Hale was among those who wrote de-
scribing its beauty in enthusiastic
terms when it was opened. "The best
people" frequent Keith's theatres in
Philadelphia, Boston and New York.
and they went there q long time be-
fore they ventured to sample the hos
pitality Of other vaudeville houses.

MARVELS OF MECHANISM.

Anton atoms that Have Excited the
wonder Of European Travellers.
Some years ago jeweler OF B0u-
logne, France, constructed q wonder
ful automatic conjurer. This figure.
correctly dressed in black, performed
various sledght-of-hand tricks with re-
markable dexterity, and when 1t was
applauded gracefully saluted the spec
tators to the right and left. One Of Its
tricks was the following: 1t struck
table several times. and made an egg
come out Of It. 1t then blew upon the
latter, when out Of it came q bird that
tapped its wings and sang. and after
ward entered the egg again.
This, however, was nothing as COM
pared with the automatic fly manufac-
tured by John Miller and which few
around the table during a dinner and
alighted upon the hand Of Its owner
and manufacturer, to the great aston
ishment Of the guests.
Another wonderful piece Of mechan-
ism was a minute coach. to which were
harnessed several horses, and which
rolled over the table. Upon starting the
coachman cracked his whip and the
horses began to prance. and then be-
came quiet and started on on a trot.
The coach stopped. and the lackey
Jumped from his seat, and. opening
the door, handed out a handsomely
dressed lady, who saluted and then re-
entered the coach. The lackey closed
the door and jumped upon the box. the
whip snapped and the horses galloped
on.
The famous mechanical flute player
was a lifelong figure, standing by the
side Of broken column, upon which 1t
slightly leaned. 1t was capable or
playing a dozen different airs with re-
markable ease To effect this result
there was a system Of weights that
actuated a bellows placed In the inte-
rior Of the automatOn, and through an
Invisible tube forced air to the flute,
where 1t acted In the usual way upon
the stopple Of the opening. In order
to obtain the modulations, and conse-
quently a complete air. the fingers Of
the automaton were movable and
closed the holes of the flute hermetic-
ally when at rest The fingers were
moved by wires and cords that were
tautened and relaxed by the play Of
toothed cylinder.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Law Infuence in niethodism.

The general conference Of the Wes

Church in this country and taken IL
so quietly that 1t received very li,tl'
notice. From the time in which a min

GUS ways been contending for equality

TO obtain free access to the country OF

The Dog Lau4hed.

The proprietor Of a Third avenue
store owns a little black kitten that cul-
tivates a habit Of sQuatting on Its
launches, Hike a bear or a kangaroo,
and then sparring with its forepaws as
II 1t had taken lessons from a pugilist.
A gentleman took into the store the
other evening an enormous black dog,
half Newfoundland, half collie, fat,
od-natured. and intelligent. The tiny
black kitten, instead Of bolting at once
for shelter, retreated a few PAGES, sat
erect on its hind legs, and put its
fists" in an attitude Of defiance. The
contrast In size between the two was
intensely amusing. 1t reminded one of
Jack the Giant Killer preparing to de
moMsh a giant.
Slowly and without sign Of excita
bility the huge dog walked as far as his
chain would allow him, and gazed in.
tently at the kitten and its odd posture
Then, as the comicality Of the situation
struck him, he turned his head and
shoulders around to the spectators, and
IL animal ever Laughed in the world that

He neither barked nor growled, but
INDUCED in low chuckle. while eyes
and mouth beamed with merriment.
