he would have bean easily defeated two

Canning completed on Sunday, Sept. IF, his twenty-fifth year at the church named, alone, his total number of years as a soloist being tbirty-eigft. He was with St. Jo- sephs church in the west end from 1861 to 1874, thus having done all of his church work at these two churches, and he was only IS years of age when he took up the work at St. Joseph s.

 Capt. MeKinzie of Philadelphia has encountered in his maritime wander ings place where only two women have ever lived. Lying at pier No. 13, Port Richmond, Philadelphia, dis Hsgfng Ter cargo of 150 tons of e.5 ere Is the trim little Halifax scI oa Satellite, commanded by Capt. zzeKenzie, man who has ex- perienead many thrilling adventures while navigating the Newfoundland coast, whence this vessel came with her cargo. The Satellite came from a settlement in Newfoundland known as Bluff Head, situated thirty miles east southeast from Port au Port, and place where but two women ever were known to live. Capt. Mckenzie says that the chrome ore mines were dis covered only three years ago. They are now worked by British and Ameri- can capitalists. The ore OH board the Satellite is valued ill it's crude state in excess of $30 q ton. and is the richest grade which ever has been brought into Philadelphia, owing to the limit ed facilities for vessels reaching the place, the largest cargo that has ever been shipped is BIO tons and at that time the vessel was seven weeks load ing. The mines from which this ore ia taken are situated on the tops qf cliffs rising 800 feet above the level of the sea. and Capt Mckenzie had to work his vessel in and anchor her under these cliffs on a shoal area con taining six fathoms of water. The method of loading is primitive, the ore being conveyed down the mountain side in small wagons drawn by power ful horses. From the shore it is brought out fn boats Capt. MeKen= zie,s last visit to Philadelphia was twenty-three years ago. At that time said the old skipper yesterday. you would not see two steamers ffo1 the time you entered the Delaware eapes till yo6 passed to sea again. Now sailing vessels ia this trade have become almost extinct.

Wanted to See the Baby.

Some young women, according to a Philadelphia paper, noticed foreign looking man pushing a closed baby carriage. Their curiosity was aroused and one of them asked to see the baby that was so completely covered. The man hesitated but finally sueeumbed to the girls glances, and, unbuttoning the apron, he disclosed a small, round gentleman, with mustache and Napo- leon, quietly chewing an unlighted cigar. The girls were speeches. with surprise and shame for having in- truded on the mans privacy, although he was a tiny one, under three feet in length. He graciously pardoned the women as he stroked his mustache, and invited them to see him at the export exposition, where he has just arrived to be exhibited. Then, bidding them good-by, he ordered his attend- ant to continue with the daily ride.

A Enssil Snake.

The queerest placer claim in the world, according to the Cheyenne Tri- bune. is near Fillmore, Wyo where a rancher named s. A. Aggers has staked out a placer claim covering twenty acres in order to protect a fossil which he has found The fossil is that of a huge snake 1S5 feet of which are eoiled in stone on top of the ground. The folds of the snake range from twelve to eighteen inches in thickness. Mr Aggers has been be- sieged with visitors anxious to see the monster fossil. He intends to collect the pieces and ship them 10 the Ma tional Museum at Washington in the spring and for the purpose of pro tectng his find he staked out the claim, the fossil being near the center of the tract

SUNS JOURNEY.

Velocity fs Between six and Twelve
 Miles Per second.
 By means of the speetroseope He= can obtain probably more accurate deter imitation of the suns velocity through space says the Genuemans Magazine. As is well known he velocity of a star ia the line of sight can Be found by measuring the displacement of t1e lines visible in the stars spectrum. Now the stars near the position of the solar apex should be approaching the earth on account Of the solar motion, and those a the opposite point Of the sky-called the santt-apeX should be receding This method has been eTn- ploxed by several astronomers, =esHec- ialiv by Vogel at the Potsdam obserEa- t61y. This able astronomer has found from an examination of forty stars that the suns velocity through space is about seven and one-balf miles a sec ond, and an examination of a larger number of stars would be necessary before we could consider this result as thoroughly established. From an ex- animation of the spectra of fourteen hebuiae. Prof. KeeleI Of the Lick oo- seryatory has found Yeloeities in the line Of sight and from these the French astronomer Tissarand has dedueed 3 velocity Of about nine and one-third miles for the solar motion, result which does not differ widely from that found by VogeI. We may, therefore perhaps conclude that the velocity oi the suns motion through space is be- tween six and twelve miles per second The average velocity of the stars meas ured at Potsdam is about ten and one half miles a second and possibly ths sun may have similar velocity.

A PLAN AGREED UPON.
Raisin Growers Will Control Crops for
Three Years in California. -

Fresno, Cal, May 13.-Harmony has
been restored in the ranks of the Raisin
Growers association and a plan has been
adopted to control the California araisin
crop for the next three years. The plan
adopted involves the formation of a COM
mercial packers company to handle the
raisin crop, including the seeding of raj
sins, coupled with an agreement that
they. as an organization. would purchase
and pay for the entire crop by January
10 Of each year.
The packing is to be under the control
OF the association. The packers.
association is to nave a capital stock OF
800. OOO, 5 per cent of which is to be paid
in Immediately. The seeding of the raj
sins is to be done at SO per ton above
actual cost. The packing charges and
bonus together for all grades of raisins
TO be the same as provided for last sea-
son, the cash discount and commission
for sales to be the same.
Prices of raisins are to be forced by
the association and the pack
ers agree not to buy, pack. sell or handle
any raiSins not under the control of the
growers association without written con-
sent and no raisins are to be sold at less
than association prices. The only condi-
ton made by the packers is that 80 per
cent of the raisin acreage of the state
shall be secured before June 16. AS g.
per cent is already signed for. the rest is
expected to be obtained without difficulty.
