The Isle of the Sea Pays Tribute to Cur Late
Comrade William Mckinley.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Services
were held in the Harbor Chapel. The
American flag was suspended over the
pulpit draped. A large-sized picture of
the martyred President was placed upon
the pulpit. After singing Nearer, My
God, to Thee" the Scriptures were read
by the Rev. F. s. Kent, followed by
prayer. Comrade j. Fl. Tourjee was in
vited to speak in behalf Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The comrade said
that our departed comrade, Maj. McKin-
ley las the boys used to call HIM, won his
first promotion as a line officer 80 years
ago this month at the battle OF Antietam,
Nd. Now, | believe, he has won a great
er position than President or even any
King of the earth. Words tell what we
should be; deeds, what we are. The
deeds Of Maj. Mckinley on the battlefield
showed the patriotism that burned upon
the altar of his heart as we followed him
through the late civil war. Letters | re
ceived from him few years ago, which
were from his heart. 1 shall hold dear

Judge Alex Bowman, OF Louisiana, who
had been associated with Gen. Lee, was
called upon to make some remarks. He

Lincoln, Lee and Mckinley, who had ten

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC IN A BALLOON
Views of Samuel A. King, the Noted Aero
naut.

In the October Century is a discussion
of ways and means for crossing the ocean.
The author believes that the drag-rope is
the key to the problem. He argues thus:
IL balloon capable of retaining its buoy
ant gas in marked degree were TO as
| cend from any point on the American
coast-line, and be kept poised at given
hight by means of rope or ropes across
| trailing loosely over the waves, it would
be more or less speedily waited across
| the Atlantic Ocean.
West winds could not of course, be ex-
pected always to prevail, but, as it is
known that the general drift is eastward,
it surely follows that the passage would
eventually be made. Practice with the
drag-rope has shown me the possibility
Of keeping q balloon afioat, at a conven-
lent altitude, without great loss of gas
and ballast. PrairieS, forests, mountains
and large bodies of water have all been
traversed by me with success. The free
running of the rope as it glides along over
the surface of the water is the special
advantage that accrues to a voyage over
the ocean.
Andree thought to utilize this device
over the frozen sea, but with what sue
cess may never be, known. His attempt
ut polar exploration by balloon was, IN
doubtedly, premature, and should have
been preceded by efforts more closely al
lied to previous experience. Nevertheless,
his was bold recognition of a principle
which only needs greater development to
prove its correctness.
The full import Of the first successful
ocean voyage cannot be foretold. We
can compare it only with the first At
lantic cable, or the first steamship, or the
first voyage of Columbus. That it lies
next in order to these cannot be doubted,
and there is only one known way to sue
cess, namely, by the aid of the drag-rope

lar value at this time. 1t embraces the
earliest establishments and expeditions of
the races of Asia Minor, and brings n
very comprehensive account down through
the Middle Ages, and early European col
JnizatiOns, to the present absorbing ques-
tons. Very complete references elucidate
disputed points of policy or fact. Cita-
tons are made from works in all Ian
suages, modern and ancient, which throw
light on the subject, and a photography
containing a classified list of some 700
works on colonization, colonial history and

GEN. MCCLELLAN. By Gen. Peter S.
Niche. Published by ID. Appleton s,
Co., New York.
This is one of the books on the war
which everybody should read. Its author
was one Of the best and most capable in
structors that West Point ever Lad, and
found military student and impartial
judge. He graduated with honor from
the Academy in 1863, and Immediately
sought service in the field, rose to be CHIEF
Engineer of the Army of the James, and
was brevetted Brigadier-General. Gen.
Fitz-John Porter, after reading the proofs.
Just before his death, pronounced it the
written Gen. Niche started into the
work with a pronounced admiration for
Mcclellan, but the more carefully he
studied the subject, the farther he was
forced into an opposite view. In this
book he studies and analyses carefully
every act of his subject, gives him full
praise for all that he was, but condemns
him for his shortcomings and failures. His
presentation of the facts is unquestiona-
bile, his logic irresistible, and his conclu-
sions must be accepted. No one who
wants to get a clear conception of the
history of the great struggle should miss
giving the book careful reading.

IT'S SKUNK HUNTING TINE.
A Profitable September Industry IN Maine.
Yields SIZE, 900 Annually.

The coming full moon will be the time
for hunting skunks in eastern Maine, and
about 100 of the unemployed countrymen
will take dogs, and, going out to the
meadows where the fat grasshoppers are
asleep, will select their game By the aid
Of the moons rays and will kill and skin
all of the dark-colored skunks they can
find, leaving those OF a lighter complexion
TO survive the Winter as best they can and
bring up 4 new brood for next Falls kill
ing.
Fashion in furs regulates the price Of
skunk skins Three years ago the coat
of dark skunk was worth from $3.50 to
So, and there were not enough to supply
| the demand. Since then the muskrut has
| suppanted the skunk as the wearer OF a
profitable skin, and only the very choicest
of skunk pelts sell for 81 this season. But
when there are from 10 to dozen fat
skunks to be had on every acre of meadow
land, when q hardwood club is the only
weapon required in the killing, and when
every fat skunk, regardless Of its color,
| holds more than n quart of oil which is
worth IS a gallon, wholesale, there are al
ways men who will chase skunks for the
money there is in the business.
| From 100000 to 10000 skunks are
slain in Maine every year. The practice
of killing the black ones and leaving those
of a lighter color to perpetuate the race
has reduced the income received from the
| furs to Il small figure and has practically
eNterminated the dark skunkS, but the de-
mand for skunk oil is steadily growing
and the price has gone up 81 a gallon
since last year. The oil is not only used
by residents OF Maine, who esteem it
highly for its virtues in curing rheumatism
and stiff joints, but the druggists send
many gallons out of the State to be sold
4 in Boston and New York. 1t is probable
that nearly $4,000 gallons of skunk oil are
produced in Maine every year. Most Of
that used locally is pure, but some of the
oil sent out of the State is adulterated
with fat obtained from hens and wood
chucks, practice which has proved more
profitable and less disagreeabie than the
| old way Of making the labels on the bot
| ties tell the truth about what was inside.
As the impure oil seems to effect as many
wonderful cures as the genuine article the
men who work the imposition on the pub
| lie stand small chance of detection.
| Most of the skunk pelts taken in Maine
are sent to Philadelphia firm, where
they are tanned, dipped in a black dye
and made up into furs for export to
France and Germany, in which countries
they pass as monkey skins. The killing
Of skunks begins in September and con-
| tinueS for about a month, by which time
all the fat ones that contain oil have den
ned up for the Winter. 1t is estimated
that the Maine skunks yield an annual
revenue OF from S125,000 to S150,000
which is double the sum made from all
the honey bees in the State, and as the
skunk is the greatest enemy the poultry
grower has to face, the Staying of so many
| foes adds greatly to the amount of eggs
and dressed fowl produced in the State.

Assassination.

Caleb Harvey, an old and wealthy resi-
dent of La Porte, Ind, died Sept. % as
the direct result of grief over the assas-
sination and death of President McKin-
ley.
The physicians who attended Harvey
said that he literally cried himself to
death. He wept for hours continuously
from the afternoon the President was
shot, and while in these parOxysms of
grief his suffering was intense.
1t was found impossible to control or
assuage his grief, and up to the hour of
his dissolution he walled continuously.
Mr.. Harvey was an ardent admirer of
Mckinley. The physicians consider the

Rife Tractice for Defense.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The i'm
portance Of rifle shooting for rifle defense
cannot be over estimated. 1t is an art
which should be cultivated in every coun-
try that does not keep large standing
army. In Germany every able bodied man
mt the age of II is obliged to become n
soldier, where he is Of course taught mill
tary tactics. Other European countries
have similar plan. This is very pro-
iicient means for making country a
military power; but owing to the expense
it incurs to the Nation and the fact that
the years of compulsory service are taken
at n time when every young man should
be fitting himself for his business or pro-
fesSiOnaI career in life, many countries
do not favor this policy known as con-
scription), which forces every man for
a period to lay aside his private affairs in
time of peace for the army.
Switzerland has for years had system
of National Rifle Clubs. Since the out
break of the war between England and
