reported on by some fresh, cock.sure

The Baker City Herald came out Sat.
urday with one Of Cassidy's ijiotie at.
tempts at sensations alism, dealing with the
same subject. The opening paragraph
was an attempt TO make It appear that
Superintendent Laughlin, Of the Sumpter
smelter, was authority for the malice per-
meated statements that followed; though
as a matter Of fact the language employed
does not make the direct statement that
Mr.. Maushlin had made the remarks. II
was merely dishonest trick. Those
who know the gentleman, know that tina,
is not his style. But this Herald story is
OF no significance, further than the prOba.
bility that Mr.. Balliett was buched for a
"Ioan" and refused to respond. That's
Cassidy's size and style and record. Both
Me>srs. Laughlin and Balliett are thous.
and or more miles away at present.
When they return he will dodge them.

President NIonrne,a Cannon.

Near Union, in Monroe County, W.
Va, a couple of days ago the plow
of farmer turned up the greater part
of a historic cannon that was pre-.
sented to the people OF Monroe Coun.
ty by President Monroe In recognition
of the honor of having county
named after him. The presentation
occurred many years before the dl-
vision of the State of Virginia. Short.
ly after the close of the war, one
Fourth of July, the cannon was used
in county celebration. To make its
report louder young men rammed it
full of shearings from nearby leath-
er shop. The gun exploded and in
jured several persons. For more than
n quarter of a century all trace Of
the weapon was lost. Most of the
fragments have been dug up from
the land of Thomas Shaver and they
will be given to the State Historical
Society.-New York Sun.

Colony Experiments in America.

Two generations ago, under the in
spiration of Fourier, great impetus
was given to the community idea here
and scores Of colonies were founded
in the Middle West, most of which
We're afterward disbanded. To the
bent which the movement gave to
social and religious theories, the State
of Utah really owes its existence. The
community idea attracted less notice
as the national interests enlarged, but
it is still true that America is the
chosen field of communal experiments.
Colonies of Swiss and Piedmontese oc
casionally enter the Tennessee and
North Carolina valleys. Small Ger
man sects, following some whimsical
religious tenet, are rising to prosperity
in the Middle West. In the Northwest
bodies of Russian peasants whose
strange creeds show the same ferment
working that is seen in Tolstoy's lat
er novels, have found refuge from the
injurious determinations of the Greek
Church.-New York Mail and Express.

An Irishman arriving in Cincinnati
one night found it impossible to get a

share one which had been engaged by
a barber. Pat noted that his bedfel-
low was very bald and proceeded to
chaff him. This the barber endured
in silence, but when Pat had fallen
into a heavy slumber the other man
got up and shaved every hair off his
tormentor's head. The Irishman hav-
ing a long tramp before him on the
morrow, had left instructions that he
be called very early, and, 1t being still
dark when he rose, he did not notice
the loss of his hair. When some dis

AWFUL FAMINE
That Il Now Making of India One Vast

That Il Now Making of India One Vast
Charnel Pen.
The famine area in India is about
$4,000 square miles, and extends over
the central, south and northwestern
provinces, says Leslie's Weekly. No
pen could describe its awful horrors
Some Of the things proved by pho
Biography are too realistically horrible
to be reproduced in any publication,
and we print only few OF
the less frightful photographs
taken by the missionaries, because
many have not believed that such an
awful condition could exist in this CEN
tury OF plenty and prosperity. Ema-
ciated beyond belief, the starving na-
tives crawl to the house Of the nearest
sahib, usually q missionary, to crave
sood; but go, 900 mouths have to be fed
Fifteen dollars year will feed Hin
du. yet even this pitiable allowance
Is not to be had. The causes of the
famine are the failure of the crops, the
refusal of the native princes to allow
their bunting jungles to be converted
into fertile agricultural regions, and
the mysterious disappearance of spe-
cial famine fund of $100,O00.000, col
lected by the government after the fa-
mine of 1877. The Hindu is strict
vegetarian. The low-caste Hindu is q
fatalist. So when famine stalks abroad
the Hindu submits uncomplainingly.
Day by day he will subsist on less food,
until at last. when mere shadow. he
will drag his bony self to al relief sta
ton. There he may get food--or he
may not. If not, he crouches in some
corner. or out in the fields, under Gods
trees, and awaits the coming Of death.
The majority of the victims are women
and children.

In Austria a new method of utilizing
sawdust has been invented and seems
to promise admirable results. At the
sawmills of Joseph Fialla the expert
ment has been tried of making bri-
quettes of the sawdust for domestic
heating purposes. The dust is heated
to dryness and then to the point where
the tarry elements begin to exude
These are used as the consolidating
matter, the hot sawdust passing on
steam-heated tables to n press which
forms them into briquettes, five by
three by one and one-quarter inches
weighing about one-half pound. 1t is
said that they give four per cent. of
ash and that their heating power is
equivalent to that of ignite. The
press makes nineteen bricks per min
ute, and with 300 days of work, pro-
duces 100000 per year. The expert
ment has shown that the cost of man
ufacture is sixteen cents per thousand,
while the selling price is one dollar
per thousand.
