There were flowers in many East Side

The Saving Laugh.

There is in the property room Of the
Coincide Franchise the bell which they
say was rung to prepare the massacre
Of st. Bartholomew. Everybody has
been thinking of this and other historic
things. For there has been a curious
incident in the chamber of deputies. NJ.
Paul Deschanel, the president, has
found his congregation SO unruly that
he has broker his bell twice. This
awkward incident compelled him on
one occasion to try to maintain order
with his paper knife and On the other
produced much merriment in the cham
Der. "Send for the Savoyarde!" cried
out one member. Now, the ~Savoyarde
is the great bell in the great new
church which surmounts Montmartre, a
huge bell which sounds almost all over
Paris. 1t was a hearty and healthy
laugh which followed this cry, and it
helped the president more than a doz-
en- bells even from the towers Of cathe-
drals, because when a Frenchman
laughs he forgets to be angry.

WilheImina's First Love.

Although romantic writer's have
made much "copy' out of the Dutch
queens approaching marriage, it is
well known at The Hague that Duke
Heinrich is not the young man who
originally caught the royal fancy of
the young queen, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. The first IA
vorite was Prince Adolf, Heinrich's
elder brother and a very good looking
young officer. "Willful Wilhelmina''
smiled most amiably upon him, and in
due time the proper authorities were
commanded to sound the prince on
the subject. But Adolf was coy and
too fond of life and gayety to consent
to become the consort of the imperious
young person who rules over the most
peaceful court in Europe. Adolf re
fused to be wooed, and it was an open
secret at our hat the queens disap-
pointnent and chagrin we're the cause
of the prolonged delay in the announce
ment of her engagement to the young
er brother. At the same time the good
HollanderS tell each other, with much
satisfaction, that Heinrich is beloved
of Wilhelmina, Or she would never,
never wed lim-not if a hundred min.
listers were to ask her to.

"Jim Butler, the big fellow from st.

only to be restrained by the thread. A

broke her bonds and swung her hands

GREAT DAKOTA
Earth Which Is Found I'm but Few
Places In America.

A new material will soon be placed
among the rare things mined from the
Black Hills. Fuller's earth is a valua-
BILE material, found in but few places
in America. The finest quality is found
in England, which is practically the
worlds supply. Recently a large de-
post of this material has been found
in the Black Hills, and it most closely
resembles that found in England Of
any deposit in America, says the BoS-
ton Transcript.
The fuIler's earth of the Black Hills
contains from 60 TO rs per cent silica,
with from Is to % per cent water
after being sun dried. The fuller's
earth Of the hills is generally found in
shallow basins covered by a few feet
of surface soil. Below this is a layer
of plastic clay from 2 to 6 feet thick,
and Their layers Of fullers earth from
2 to II feet thick everything a bed of
sand. Fuller's earth is dug out and
allowed to remain in the sun where
it undergoes a certain amount Of
bleaching, turning from a greenish col
or to a creamy white and losing about
30 per cent Of it's weight.
The United States produces a con-
siderable amount of fuller's earth,
something like 10000 tons a year. The
discovery of a superior grade of the
earth in the Black Hills will mean, in
a short time, the adding of another
raw material to the already long list
found in the hills.
Eastern parties are negotiating for
the deposit Of limestone, called by
some ,alabaster, that has been found
in Custer county. The stone is found
in a 80 foot ledge, and when it is quar-
ried it is soft enough to be cut into any
shape desired. After being exposed to
the air it becomes hard and takes a
beautiful polish. The quarry is being
opened by two Deadwood men.

The low position of the Maine is
tprobably due to an error, as the author
states, in the muzzle velocity of the
guns, his only authority being the cal
lmanach fur die k. Il. K. Oesterreichische
Marine" Nevertheless the table is a
revelation, and the position of the Ala
bama is somewhat surprising. From
this it appears that Japan leads the
world and that four other nations
Germany, France, Great Britain and
Russia-have battleships superior to
the Alabama.
Cruisers, on account of their low
passive value (armor protection), nat
urally fall below battleships, but even
there we are not at the head, for Great
Britain, Japan, Germany, France, Rus
sia and Italy have cruisers that rank
the Brooklyn and the New York in all
round lighting value.
This is an entirely new presentation
of the subject Of the relative fighting
values of ships, ana, although the
figures above given may not all be per.
fectly accurate, the method suggested
furnishes a means of comparing the
fighting value of the worlds ships
which will make an interesting an6
useful study.

BARBAROUS WARFARE.
Horrible Tortures Perpetrated on Both
Sides in Colombian Rebellion.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-Ac-
cording to V. H. Putros, a railroad man
vino has arrived here from South Amer
lea, the warfare now in progress in
Colombia is characterized by brutality
on both sides. In the far interior says
Mr. Putros, the federals before being
driven ont slaughtered every person
that fell into their hands, excepting
only a few women.
At Chinipa a body Of adherents 6f
Maroquin, while retreating, came upon
an inn near the town and took pos
session of it. The person in command
Of this party was Melton Zubia, who
at present has charge Of the artillery
at Bogota.
Theophile Ordaz, the son Of the own
er Of the inn, was found within and
made prisoner. Having ascertained that
the young mans father was a rebel,
Zubia ordered him to be tortured. He
was finally, according to Mr.. Putros,
impaled by the chin on a hook driven
above the door Of the inn and his hands
nailed to the sides Of the entrance. In
this way, as a result Of his struggles,
he soon died
