TROUBLES OF OUR OWN.
American Wars, Rebellions, Insur- rections,. Riots, Strikes.
 Trirolitan War

During the decade from 1785 to 1795 fifteen American vessels were captured and the crews made slaves by the piratical state Of Algiers. In the sea- ports of New England it was no un- common occurrence on a Sunday to hear letter read in church from some honored citizen. now a slave on the Northern coast of Africa. begging his old neighbors to advance money for his ransom. To prevent further molestat tion a treaty was made in 1795. the United States agreeing to ransom cap tives then alve, and pay an annual tribute to the Dey. The ransoms paid exceeded a half million dollars. All the European countries paid tribute to these North African governments to prevent piratical raids upon their com merce, and the United States consented to do the same. For seventeen years we paid an annual tribute of $23.OOO. In consequence of a refusal on the part of the United States to increase the tribute the Bashaw of Tripoli. June 10. 1901, declared war. In anticipation of this event the United States had already sent a squadron to the Medi- terranean. In October, 1903, the frigate Philadelphia, Captain Bainbridge. while chasing a corsair into the harbor or 1rlpOll, SLIuCh al SuHhGH IOCh anu was captured with all on board. Com modore Decatur. of the Intrepid. ran his vessel into the harbor of Tripoli on the night of February 16, 1894. and un- der the fire of the shore batteries burn ed the Philadelphia. Between July and September. 1894. Commodore Edward Preble made a series of attacks on the Qualifications of Tripoli. Meantime, General William Eaton, United States consul at Tunis. joined Hamet. the rightful Bashaw of Tripoli. in an expe- dition against his usurping brother. Marching from Egypt across the desert. they took Derne April 27. 1895. The success of this expedition made 1t pos- sible to extori highly favorable treaty from the Bashaw June 4. 1895. the United States agreeing to pay S60.O00 ransom for the officers and crew of the Philadelphia and Hamet being induced tO retire

Gilbert. Secretary ol the Commercial and Industrial Associa tion, said yesterday that many of the circular letters had not been answered.
 All who have not replied to the cir cular letter sent out by the special com mittee of the Directors of the Street Fair Association asking an expression of opinion as to whether or not Mont gomery should have some fair or festi- val this fall, should do so at once, said MT. Gilbert. Thursday will be the last day and then from the re- plies received, an intelligent opinion can be formed as to what the public desires. The sending out of a circular letter, and the placing of the decision upon all the citizens and subscribers equally, is the only proper method of arriving at a just conclusion.

ber. In observing the changes IN the
sky from hour to hour. II has been found
that the sky is a deeper blue In the morn
ing than during the heat of the day says
the Albany Argus. This indicates thS,
since the deepest color is seen In the cold
est months and during the coldest part OF
the day. heat plays an important part IN
determining the sky color. Prof. Tyn-
dan made experiments showing that the
sky tint is caused by the reflection OF the
blue waves of light from minute particles
floating high i'm the air The waves Of
blue light are shorter than those or Nel-
