DUEL TO THE DEATH In CARBONDALE, Ill
Adventist Minister Attacked by Jealous Hus-
band, Shoots With Fatal Effect.

+. CARBONATE, Ill, Oct. 5.-A trage-
edy was enacted in this city today at a
time when the streets were crowded
with people. John c. Brown was shot
by Rev. Joseph McCammish, dying forty
minutes later. The two men had been
bitter enemies for nearly year, owing
to Brown being jealous of the relations
between his wife and the minister
During the early morning hours Brown
told several citizens that he would kill
McCammish before the sun went down.
The word reached the minister and Nc
Cammish armed himself. -1lcCammish

one of the most remarkable victories in
the annals of naval warfare.
OF the Miles-Egan controversy over the
alleged furnishing of "embalmed beef''
to the army Gen. Alger says:
''EMBALMED BEEF"
The commission appointed by the pres
ident at my request to investigate the
conouct of the war department during the
war with Spain, commonly called the
met on Sept. "a, 1898. Up to Dec 81,
1898, this commission had taken testi-
mony in many towns and cities and in
many different camps, granting whereV-
er it went to the citizens, soldiers or ex-
soldiers an opportunity to- appear for
complaint or testimony of any kind re-
garoing the conduct of the war. The
commission visited numerous camps, in
which there still were thousands of SOL
diers, both regulars and volunteers, who
were invited to give their evidence with
out regard to rank or service. On Dec.
q the major general commanding the ar
my of the United States appeared before
the commission, then sitting, in Washing
ton, and made his statements with re-
spect to the canned, fresh and refriger-
ated beef furnished the army during the
war.
Although the commission had been sit
ting nearly three months the charges
with respect to canned and refrigerated
beef were now made for the first time:
and stranger and more inexcusable and
more unsoldierly still, during all those
months, with this pretended knowledge
of facts, which, if they existed, should
have been made known to the secretary
of war for the protection of the army,
Gen. Miles had never mentioned the sub
ject.
SEEKING NoToRIETY.
Gen. Miles seemed to be pleased with
+
ment before the commission, and his sub
sequent newspaper interviews, gave him,
for again, on the 31st of March, 1899. In
New York city, he published. through
representatives of the Associated Press
and of metropolitan paper, additional
charges. This unmilitary and questona-
bic method of making public grave and
scandalouS charges regarding a brother
officer, and the work of his department.
charges which subsequent and careful in
vestigation proved both unwarranted and
untrue. seemed to appeal to certain char
acteristics of the major general command
ing to which reference would be out of
place. If we are to believe written evil
dence to the contrary, it does not ap-
pear that Gen. Miles was even honest in
making his dilatory charges that the tin
ned beef issued was the "pretense of an
experiment" and that it was not a part
of the ration
On June Is, 1893, his most confidential
staff signed letter by direction of the
major general commanding the army
instructng the depot commissary at Tam
pa to furnish Gen. Nunez 1854 pounds
Of canned roast beef ito be issued to the
subsistence stores of the army.''
If we are to accept the reading of this
letter as correct, it appears that Gen.
Miles knew that canned fresh beef was
part of the ration; that he knew there
was large quantity of it at Tampa for
issue to the troops, and that he so far
approved of its use as to direct that the
ration be furnished in large quantities
to our allies.

STRIKES IN Japan.
Compact Organization Of squint-Eyed
Lahorers of the Far East

Trades Unions il Japan IS the
subject Of a paper in The Century by
Miss Mary Gay Humphreys.
Not long ago the rice coolies at
Toxic struck for higher wages. The
strike lasted just half day. Without
constitution or bylaws, governed
only BY the usages Of the trade, the
organization Is as compact as that of
any legally Incorporated body. The
rice coolies know nothing of govern
ment Of the law, and care nothing for
the police, whom, indeed, they could
easily shoulder like d bag Of rice. IF
it had been possible to get men to re-
place them they would not have per-
n1lffed it. None WonId have dealt
more summarily with scab' than
they But i was not possible, andthe
contractors, who were forced To- have
the rice stored to meet their obliga-
tons, yielded.

LOST IN NEW YORK CITY.
Over 6,ooo Children Stray from Thei il
Parents Every Year.

i Over G, 900 children are lost ii New
York every year, says the World.
A child is usually lost for from six
to eight hours before being recovered
] by it's distracted parents.
The finding Of lost children. their
care and restoration has been re-
duced to science. A lost child fares
better in New York and is usually re-
turned IN shorter time than in any
other city Fora great man. of these
little waits to be lost is III the nature
LOT a picnic Or holiday. They are
treated with the utmost kindness By
the nlatrons Of the station houses.
The hours are beguiled with toys and
amusements TO which many OF them
are strangers.
About ten per cent Of the lost chill
dren are known as regulars Any
child which has turned up at head
quarters more than once is d regular.
Many of these regulars lose them
selves, OF are lost purposely, that they
may have an outing and perhaps bring
home some pennies given them BY the.
police and Others. There is little
eolored child on the upper West side
who has been known to collect as
much as two dollars a day In this way.
All lost children are treated alike,
according 10 a regular police rule.
When found they are. taken to the
nearest police station. They except
there until nine o'clock, and if not
called for BY that time they are taken
to police headquarters. II their rel
.afiVes do not claim them within "a
hours they are taken before d city
magistrate and committed to q pub
lie institution. The great majority
Of lost children are claimed within
the time.
But some are left designedly.
More children are lost in summer
than any other season. Public pa
rades cause more children to be lost
than anything else. During the last
presidential campaign $40 children
were lost in the streets Of New Z York
By following professions.

MY MOTHERS SONG.
The day is past and gone;

seThe day is past and gone;
The evening shades appear:
OH may we all remember well
The night of death draws near"
How ssFeetl3- fell our mothers tones
Upon each listening ear
We lay our garments by,
Upon our beds to rest ;sessis,=ss-s,,ss
So death Will soon disrobe us all
OF what we here possess
And as she sang, solemn awe
Peryaded each young breast
'Iord. keep US safe this night,
Secure from all our fears
May angels guard us while we sleep
Till morning light appears
AsWeet assurance filled each heart
Dispelling unshed tears.
And we early rise,
To view the unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize
And after glory run
And when the twilight filled the skies,
Ihe evening song was done.
Dear mother, many years
Der US have come and gone.
Since we beside thee stood to hear
Tily Sabbath evening song,
And falling eye and sflvered hair
To each of US belong.
Yet still, whene,er we hear
The oid-time sweet refrain,
we fancy we are at thy knee
On Sabbath eve again,
And listening to the gentle tones
OF thy angelic strain

Manner of Man You Are.
When man leaves his watch With
me for repairs, 2 said a matchmaker to
a Washington Star reporter the other
| day, ! can, after glancing at the
works, pretty well tell what kind Of a
person the owner is. You see, a watch,
especially if It be a highly adjusted
ltlmepiece, is an excellent indicators of
the character Of the wearer, particu-
larly as regards his daily habits; for.
while one watch may run within a
second a day with one man, it may
vary many seconds with another. For
instance, a stranger brought his watch
to me the other day and told me that
IN the previous six months it had
gained just nine seconds, in the next
three months it had lost Two seconds.
SO that in the nine months it had
varied seven seconds. OF course, this
was a really phenomenal case, but it
demonstrates what very superior
watch will do under the most favor
able circumstances. It also showed
me that the owner of the watch is a
very methodical man, with disposi-
tlon that is never ruffied. He is
punctuality itself, winds up his
watch at the same hour each day.

same distance daily attending to his

hung over a chair. husforfhesame
number Of hours each day the watch
has rested in the same position. Give |
this same tifnepiece TO a nervous and
excitable person who runs for and
jumps off cars, whose habit it is to |
wind his watch on retiring and who
retires at all hours, and the result |
will be very different. His watch will
simply resent such unreasonable
treatment by showing variation Of
from from five to ten seconds or more in
the time it keeps daily.
Another strange thing about
watches is that they vary more or less,
as the case may be, between SATURDAY
and Monday than in an equal length
Of time during the week, for the rea-
son that average manis less active
on Sunday than on other days.s

There are two sides to every-

Passengers he continued, sseon-
