STEAMBOAT CAPSIZED
SIXTEEN LIVES LOST

PADUCAH, Ky, Aug. .19.-The steamer
City of Golconda, plying between this
city and Elizabethtown, Ill, was struck
by a squall during a storm tonight while
en- route to Paducah, and turned over in
ten feet of water six miles above the
city, as she was going into Crowelrs 8
Landing.
Sixteen persons are reported drowned
The disaster occurred as supper was be-
ing served, and many of the seventy-five
passengers were in the cabin. The wind
struck the boat without warming and
there was no time for those on the in
side to escape. Capt. Jesse Bauer and
Pilot q. Z. Peck were the last to leave
The boat and swan ashore. They saved
several persons who were struggling in
the water, and left the survivors in a
house near the bank and came to the
city. Capt. Bauer, who arrived here TWO
hours after the catastrophe, said: THE
boat was getting ready to land when the
squall struck her and she listed Several
passengers who were inside jumped over
board and were caught by the boat The
ladies, all of whom were in the cabin
could not be reached. The boat settled
down in ten feet of water, over a reef

KINGSTON, Jamaica. Aug. 19.-The
British steamer Rosneath arrived here
today from Central American ports, and
brought advices from Colon of continued
and persistent attacks by the rebels on
the outskirts of Colon and Panama. The
repeated efforts on the part of the gov

and the belief is gaining ground that the
Colombian government is weakening
When the Rosneath left Colon on the
18th, the French cruiser Suchet was
there, and the arrival of British and
American war vessels was anXiously
awaited. Business generally was crippled.

How Lithuanfans Play Dice.

A peculiar dice game is INDUCED in
by the gambling element of Lithua-
mans in Baltimore.
Gathering about the dice tables in
the saloons kept by their fellow coun-
trymen they quickly lose all interest in
everything outside of that which is
transpiring upon the cloth before them
AS they sit or stand about the tables
the careworn features of old men con-
trast strongly with the ruddy faces of
the youths. The eagerness with which
the players seek the numbers upon the
falling pieces is wolfish in it's intensity.
Comparatively small sums are placed
upon the game, and side bets run from
cents to 81.
Although resembling in the manner
in which it is operated the high dice
game as played by the AnglO-SaXon
races, the dice of the Lithuanians, in
stead of numbering from l to 6, run
from 1 to 10, the numbering of
the six sides being 1, 2, 3, 4, s, 10. The
game is played with four pieces, and a
possible 40 is the point striven for in
stead of "a, which is high mark in the
similar American game. - Baltimore

How Our Legs Grow.

AS a fact our lower limbs are not
usually both Of exactly the same
length, though they are so for all
practical purposes. The left is usually
the longer. though the gait is not nota-

but we gradually achieve tegginess.'
The bones increase in length. not so
much by interstitial deposit as by ad-
dition to their ends-that is. by pro-
gressive ossification of the layer Of
cartilage which intervenes between
the end of the shaft and the epiphysis.
Ossiication goes on till the component
parts of the bone are all united by bony
matter, and thus the stature of the
individual is determined.-New York

Sweet and Sour Cherries.

If there is any fruit that the markets
ard. never oversupplied with in the
summer, it is the cherry, either sweet
or sour. The reason for this is that it
takes a long time to raise n bearing
orchard of trees, and between the time
of starting the trees until they begin to
bear there are many enemies to con-
tend against, and when the fruit is
ripening the birds are bound to get
more than their share. Consequently
cherries are not as profitable as they
should be. The market demand is al
ways good, the prices rarely drop
low, but yet the farmers do not make
very much. In California they do
make considerable from their cherry
orchards, but elsewhere the crop seems
a neglected one.

Bread and Cheese,

A couple advanced in years got mar
ried lately.
The husband had a room in the house
securely locked, the inside of which his
wife had never seen, and, being curl
Gus as to its contents, she begged again
and again to see the room.
At last he consented, and, 10 and
behold, the room was full of whole
cheeses!
He explained matters by telling her
that for every sweetheart he had in his
young days he bought cheese.
His wife began to cry.
Don't cry, DEAR" he continued. 1--WE
mad no sweetheart since l met you"
"It's not that" she replied, still Sob
bling. 81 only wish l had been as
thoughtful as you and bought loaf
Of bread for every man that kissed me.
We could have had bread and cheese
enough to last us all our days."-Lon-

The Deer's Eyes.

A Canadian hunter tells this5ihctdent
of how he once came face to face with
his quarry and hadn't the heart TO
fire: at wasn't a case Of buck fever
such as a novice might experience, Tor
| had been a hunter for many years,
and had killed good many deer. This
was a particularly fine buck that had
followed for three days. A strong man
can run any deer to earth in time, and
at last 1 had my prey tired out. From
the top of a hill I sighted him a few
miles away. He had given up the
fight, and had stretched himself out
on the snow. AS 1 stalked him, he
changed his position and took shelter
behind a bowlder, and, using the same
bowlder for a shelter, 1 came sud-
denly face to face with him. He
didn't attempt to run away, but stood
there looking at me with the most
piteous pair of eyes l ever saw.
"Shoot? 1 could have no more shot
him than l could have shot a child.
Had the chance come from distance
Of 100 yards, 1 would have shot him
down and carried his antlers home in
triumph, but once having looked into
those eyes 1t would have been nothing
less than murder 1 have hunted deer
since then, but 1 find the sport affords
me little pleasure. Whenever l draw
q bead, the picture of those mute, ap-
pealing eyes comes before me, and,
though it has not prevented me from
pulling the trigger, 1 have always felt
glad somehow when my bullet failed
to find it's ark"-Washingt Post.

Introduction from Japan that has rap
idly becom deservingly popular be-
cause of it's vigorous habit and profu-
sion of small, sweet scented white
flowers that cover the plant with a
sheet of bloom for several weeks, fol-

plumes of the fruit that in maturing in
autumn pass through very attractive
shades of green, pink and brown.
The foliage is light, delicate and in

l notice in the Greenwood cemetery,
in Brooklyn, that many of the graves
are covered with English ivy. 1 would
say there is nothing better than this
beautiful plant for the purpose, but it
would not be hardy in some sections. 1t
would suffer during the bitter SHOWS

There are quite a few graves lately
