The Manufacture and Use of EIectrio
Fans Confined to This Country.

A feature of interest connected with
electric fans is that they are purely
American, both by right of invention
and of use. It is a somewhat singular
fact that their use in other countries
and in hot climates has been so limit
ed, but it is believed that at least the

A Hymn for Harvest.

Now to Thee, gracious Lord of the
seasons, be honor and glory and
praise,
That again in the Joy of the harvest
our jubilant anthem we raise.
Though many the fears that beset us,
though faith wakes feeble and cold,
Thy bow, with it's promise unbroken,
glitters still as it glittered of old.
Though weary we grow in our wat
ching the weeks OF the drought as
they pass.
When the earth is as iron beneath us,
and the heaven above us as brass,
Yet the showers come back in their
season; once more in the land there
is seen
The brook trimming over with crystal,
the grass as the emerald green.
Though troubled the spirit within us,
when the mist upon valley and plain
Lies thick, and the clouds in their
armies return again after the rain;
Yet the sun cometh forth as a giant,
and after the tempest the morn
Is cloudless and fair. and the color
grows golden and rich on the corn.
For seedtime and harvest we thank
thee; our fears as the shadows
have fed;
Thou hast given his seed to the sower;
thou hast given the eater his bread.

would do or avenge his own life in
the attempt.
Darkness at length came, but this
did not impede his MONUMENTS in any
great degree. Thanks to his knowl-
edge of that section. he did rot go
astray. Nearly all the time he was
upon the trail, although the darkness
was so dense that he saw it not.
1t was well on toward midnight
when he saw sign that told him he
was close upon those he sought. The
light of a campfire shone before him
in the darkness, and his heart gave
quick throb of joy and hope. The
moment for which he had longed was
close at hand.
With cautious footsteps he ap-
preached the spot whence the light
proceeded. Nearer and nearer he
drew. until at length he was so close
that he could see plainly the situa-
ton of affairs before him.
The redskins, six in number, had
built their campfire close up to the
foot of steep cliff, and were huddled
closely about it.
A little apart from them lay his
wife upon the earth, her limbs bound
so that she could not rise Her babe

was upon her heart, and it was its
cries that had called his attention to
the spot where they lay half hidden in
the darkness.
For few moments he did not move
from his tracks, but stood trying to
devise plan by which they might be
rescued WI. little risk to themselves.
By chance he cast his eyes to the
summit of the cliff. and in an instant
he saw means by which he thought
he might compass the destruction of
the savages.
A huge boulder which hung above
the very spot where they were hud-
died together about the fire, looked
as though a very slight effort would
send it crashing down upon them.
His wife and child were so far re-
moved from the spot that they would
be in no dangerl
Hastily he decided to test the plan
suggested, and, retracing his steps a
little, he clambered to the summit of
the spot where the boulder lay, glanc-
ed below.
The savages were in the same posi-
ton as he had left them. Could he
but send it down upon their heads
Their was no chance for one of them to
escape.
Laying down his rife, he brought all
his strength to bear upon the rock
which was so. nicely balanced that it
moved slowly from it's bed
Straining every nerve, he finally
sent it to the edge, and then, as
though possessed of life, it bounded
over and went crashing down upon
the doomed savages below.
There " no time for sound to
escape their lips; but wild, startled
cry came from those of the wife.
With joyful shout Luke answered it,
and then hastily descended to her side
He cast single glance in passing
at the spot where the bowlder lay,
and saw that it had one it's work we'll
every one of the savages had been
crushed to death.
With heartfelt joy Luke set his wife
at liberty, and then, without loss of
time, they started back for their cab
in, which the redskins had spared from
the flames. The cliff was called the
Death Rock. and that name it bears to
this day.

commodating an audience to witness
the annual field. day sports of the Chi

eral stamping of feet in recognition Of
a meritorious athletic accomplishment,
the supports gave way, precipitating
the spectators a short distance to the
ground. Several hundred persons were
buried under the timbers.
Field events came to an abrupt ending
and the participants Joined in the

BIG RAIL WAY SCHEMES
EfFECTlHG ALL THE MAIN RAIL WAY
LINES WEST OF CHICAGO.
Made at a Conference OF
These Railway Chiefs to End Rate
Wars and Other Complications-Some
Of the Big Feeders Parceled Out to
the Heretofore Competing Gem
pan;es-A Real Community of Inter-
esto Plan Adopted.

Chicago, eJsine 15.-The Tribune to-
morrow -sfll say:
E. H. Hartman, was the directing
figure in two movements begun yes
terday and which are expected to affect
every railroad running west of Chica-
go and ST. Paul.
What was held to be the first step to-
ward composite agreement between
the great roads running west of these
cities was perfected at a conference
held here between Mr.. Hartman and
officials of the companies concerned.
By it's terms an iron clad agreement
to end rate wars and other complica-
tions is expected to be spread over all
the roads in the northern group, includ-
ing the Northern Pacific, the Burling-
ton, the Milwaukee and ST. Paul, the
Union Pacific, the Northwestern and
the Great Northern lines.
To the southwest the Santa Fe will
operate band-in-hand with the South
ern Pacific. 1t will be a community
of interests plan and provides that the
Pacific Mail and Occidental Steamship
Lines, controlled by the Southern Pa
cific, shall take care of the Santa Fe,s
trans-Pacific business.
The other move directed by Mr.. Har-
riman was the practical provision for
the transfer of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul to the Hartman syndicate
and the turning of this line into a link
of the Union Pacific system. Little
doubt is entertained but that the syn
dicate acquired control of the Milwau-
kee and st. Paul on practically the
same lines that J. ]. Hill secured con-
triol of the Burlington. The stock of
the st. Paul road will be taken over by
the Union Pacific at the October meet
ing.
New York. June 15.-The Tribune to-
morrow will say:
The report current in Wall street yes
terday that railway combinat ton had
been organized with an aggregate cap
ital of $2,000,O00. The combination was
said to include the st. Paul, Burling-
ton, Chicago and Northwestern, Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, Wisconsin
Central, Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific. j. Pierpont Morgan was
said to be the financial hacker of the
combination.
According to a prominent official in
one of the lines said to be involved, the
story grew out of the reported ST..
Paul-Jnion Pacific deal by which the
latter is said to have bought a large
block of stock in the former. Little
credence was given to the report in
Wall street.

The New York Suburban

New York, June 15.-Before a crowd
of 10000 persons, on one of the most
disagreeable days the suburban has
has ever been run on, Alcedo came
home a winner in but two-ffths of a
second more than when Salvador made
the record, eleven years ago. The
crowd cheered wildly, for there was a
hot tip on him and he won easily.
Toddy managed to hold second place
till a few jumps from the wire when
Water Cure passed him and left him
third. The favorite, Ethelbert, badly
beaten, was away back in the ruck,
another upset being recorded.
Suburban day was a little better
than that on which the Brooklyn Han
dicap was run, in that the rain was
not coming down in torrents, but it
was fully as disagreeable, for cold
northeast wind swept across the track,
making everybody uncomfortable.
Ethelbert was at all times a consistent
favorite for the race, although a lot of
money went in on Alcedo- on the
strength of some phenomenal work two
