A RUSSIAN SALT.
Found in Copper Mines and known
in Chemical PnrIancc ns MaIa-
chitc, Azurite, Etc.

There is strange kind of salt
which is blue and green and pink and
all other colors combined. 1t is not
at all like table salt and is not salt to
the taste. 1t is found in copper mines,
and is used to ornament chairs and
cabinets and so forth, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The largest and finest
pieces of this strange substance are
taken from the mines of Siberia, and it
was the Russians who first found a
way of using it. That required a great
deal of thought and patience, for the
substance cannot be melted and it
breaks easily. The only way to pre-
pare it for use is to slice it into thin
strips, join the strips together with
cement and polish the surface. When
this is done it looks like dark pearl,
with ITS wavy lines and changeful color
effects.
The chemical name for this sub
stance is carbonate of copper, for it is
formed of carbonic acid and copper.
However, the green variety Is known
to dealers in it as malachite, and the
blue kind is called azurite. In some of
the churches in Russia there are large
columns of malachite, which look as
solid as marble and far handsomer.
In the palace of Versailles, near Paris,
there is a room in which the furniture
and mantels are made of this same
salt. Azurite, because il is more brit
tie than malachits, is less used.

AN OFFICER KILLED
Lieutenant Springer Shot down by
FilipinOs

Manila, Junes10. In battle with
the insurgents at Lipa, province of
Batangas, Lieutenant Anton Springer

and Captain w. H. Wilhelm of the
same regiment, Lieutenant Lee of fhe
engineers, Lieutenant Charles r..
Ramsay and five enlisted men were
wounded The Lieutenant Lee wound
ed is not Fitzhugh Lee, jr.
The enemy encountered by Captain
William II. Wilhelm were met six
miles southeast of Lipa in Batangas
province, and consisted of more than
200 of Malvar's followers, supposedly
the command of Gonzales. The insur-
gents we're defeated, but their losses
have not been reported. Yates troop
of the First cavalry is pursuing them.
During the engagement Lieutenant
Anton Springer of the Twenty first in
fantry was shot in the head and killed.
Lieutenant Lee of the engineers was
shot in the head and bowels and died.
Captain Wilhelm was wounded in the
shoulder and Lieutenant Charles X.
Ramsay of the Twenty-drst infantry
was shot in the left side. Both of
these officers are dangerously woun-
ded. In addition two sergeants were
dangerously wounded and one private
was wounded. The American officers
were planning to attack a force of the
insurgents which was ahead of them,
when they were fired on from one side.

gents in the province of Sorsogon,
Luzon, killing six. Twenty-three in
surgents were captured at and near

COLONIAL SABBATH LAWS.
None More RigidIy Enforced Than
the Regulations Regarding
That Day.

4 narration of the laws relating to
the Sabbath and the prosecutions due
to them would fill a huge volume and
make interesting reading. The rigid
Puritan observance of the Lords day
had its origin with the Puritans of old
England and reached it's fullest devel-
opment in Puritan New England, says
Donahoe's Magazine.
None of the laws were more rigidly
enforced than those intended to pre-
vent the ''prophaning of the Lords
day" The old records are full of con-
victions for violation of them. Capt.
Kimble, OF Boston, was in 1856 set for
two hours in the public stocks for his
'lewed and unseemly conduct" which
consisted in kissing his wife publicly
on the Sabbath day upon the doorstep
of his house, when he had just re-
turned from a voyage after an alb
sence of three years. The story is
told of Robert Pike, of Amesbury,
that, having to go on a journey, he
waited patiently until the sun sank
behind the western clouds on Sunday
evening, and then mounted his horse
but he had only gone short distance
when the last ray cleaned through a
break in the clouds, and the next day
he was brought before the court and
fined.

A party of Americans touring in
Mexico recently accomplished the un-
usual feat of ascending to the edge of
the crater of Mount Popocatapetl, the
famous volcano of the North American
continent. A member of the party
in describing the trip says the crater
is a marvel and well worth a hard
journey to see. "A huge and gloomy
pit it is" he says, 'its steep sides emit

its perpendicular walls descending, it
is said, to a depth of 500 feet. At
the bottom is a small lake of emerald

HER HUSBANDS PARTNER.
Much of D'OyIey Cnrte's Success Was
Due to His Wife's
Efforts.

D'Oyley Carte, the dramatist and
manager, whose recent death was sin
cerely regretted by members of the
dramatic profession, owed much of
the success he achieved to his wife,
one of the most remarkable women
in her way that ever was associated
with theaters, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
Joining Mr.. Carte's company in a
somewhat subordinate position, she
soon showed a grasp of everything
connected with the stage-so COM
pletely astonishing, indeed, that
everybody used to say Miss Lenoir-
the Frenchfied and dramatized ver-
sion of her own name of Black-had
the head of man and the shoulders
of woman. She could keep ac-
counts in bookkeeper fashion, dress
a piece in a way that French dress
maker might envy, bargain with au-
thors-in short, do all sorts and con-
ditions of things in dramatic work,
until in the end she had all the
threads of Mr.. Carte's business in her
hands, and when he and she got mar
ried it was the conclusion of n great
business partnership, as well as the
joining together of two people who
had true and abiding affection for
each other.
Inrecent years the business partner
the devoted wife-has had to per-
form the duties of the tireless nurse,
and it was to her soothing hand that
poor D'Oyley Carte owed that Allevia-
tion he received during the tedious
journey which lies between constant
| i'll health and welcome death.

EUROPE IS AGAINST N.
Working to Kill the Pan
American Congress
INTRIGUING IN THE SOUTH
And Taking Advantage of
Local rOubles
II is Claimed that Much of the Cuban
Trouble is Due to European
influence

Washington, June 10.-Keen Ameri-
can observers of foreign diplomacy
and commerce put an entirely new con-
struction upon the struggle between
the South American republics which
threatens to wreck the approaching
Pan American congress to be held in
the City of Mexico.
They say that behind the dispute be-
tween Peru and Bolivia, on the one
hand, and Chile on the other, over the
arbitration of the Tacna and africa
dispute, are the Vaccinations of
European diplomats and European
business interests. Europe does not
want the Pan American congress to be
success.
While the United States is Engaged
in an effort to capture the markets of
Europe, all Europe is busy in race
for the markets of South America.
Europe is increasing its export trade
with Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and
Chile. The United States export trade
to South America is rapidly falling
off, with the exception of that to Ven
ezuela.
1t is said to be important to Europ-
can trade that the Pan American con-
gress should not be held. Anything
that brings close unidcation between
the United States and the Central and
South American countries is bound to
lead to closer commercial relations.
A gentleman who is very closely in
touch with the purpose and scope of
the Pan-American congress says that
European influences have been busy in
Santiago, Chile, encouraging the
Chilean government to take the stand
that threatens to disrupt the congress.
He also says that the same influences
have been at work 10 Lima, urging the
Peruvians to combat the position taken
by Chile. Similar diplomatic effort
has been in progress in Buenos Ayres
priming the Argentine government to
refuse to enter the congress unless
Chile yields.
The idea put forth by foreign agents
which has permeated all South Ameri-
ca is that the United States seeks to
control the politics of the various
countries, and is holding the Pan
American exposition and projecting
the Pan-American congress for the
purpose OF making South America ap-
pear as the tail to the North American
kite.
The statement has also been made to
the war and state departments that in
much the same way have the difficulties
of the United States been increased in
Cuba. A gentleman who has spent
much time in Havanan says that for
eign consuls there are in much closer
touch with influential elements in the
constitutional convention than the
Americans, and have been very sue
cessful in sowing suspicion and dis
cord.
The Pan-American exposition, iu
Buffalo, is direct menace to the
trade of European countries. II
threatens foreign trade, and If it were
followed by a Pan-American congress
which should establish arbitration
then the United States would be in q
position to restore her failing trade
south OF Panama.
