showing the dome of the Capitol and a
figure symbolical of the printing trade

of men famous in the trade and there

of printing and its development are of
particular interest to the layman. as well
as To the journeyman. especially the his

GOSPEL FOR THE INDIANS
One of John EliOts Bibles Among
National Museum Treasures.
The New Testament Translated Into
the Dialect of the Nantick Red
Men and Published in 1861 - How
the Work Was Accomplished.

the work was Accomplished.
A copy of John Eliot's Indian Bible in
the National Museum g Of great interest
to book-lovers, owing to the extreme
scarcity Of the work. The New Testa-
ment. translated by John Eliot into the
dialect of the Nantick Indians, was issued
in 1861. The entire Scriptures, together
with the New England Psalm Book in
Indian verse, was finished in 1868, and
printed in quarto form with marginal
notes, having the joint imprint of Samuel
Green and Marmeduke Johnson, and ded-
icated to King Charles II. The work had
fingered three years in press, owing to the
Irregularities and Incidence of Johnson,
and it's completion was in great degree
due to the ability of an Indian apprentic-
ed to Samuel Green. This Indian became
a successful typographer. and his name
appeared on the Psalter of 100 in the i'm
print, b. Green and J. Printer.
The original edition of Eliot's Bible is
very rude in appearance, the paper poor
and the type irregular Although print
ing had been pursued in the colony for
twenty years the binding of this book
which is sheepskin, is the first mentioned,
a certain John Ratcliffe being sent from
England to complete it.
According to a letter addressed by him
to the commissioners in August, 1864, he
objects to the price paid for binding and
states that he cannot afford TO do the work
for less than 3s. I'd. per book, because
each Bible requires full days work, and
because he is required to furnish thread
glue, pasteboard. and leather clasps to the
value of l shilling-the prices being so
much greater in America that he has to
pay is shillings for material that would
cost but shillings In England
The preSSWOTh on a part of the Bible
was charged as follows: Sheets of the Old
Testament. executed by Green alone G3
JOS per sheet. with Johnson's assistance.

dian Psalms, &2 per sheet The paper
which was fine post, was charged at 6s

and the binding Of pa Of the books
amounted to Fraction more than El 200
sterling.
The corporation presented the materials
to Harvard College after the completion
of the work, these same materials being
valued at only $50. A second edition OF
1000 copies of the Bible was printed hy
Greene in 1855. Some idea of the language
of the work may be derived from the fol-
lowing verse from the Nineteenth Psalm:

HUGHES WANTS TO QUIT.
He Insists on Abandoning the Shell
don Fountain.

IT believe it is a sheer waste of mon
ey to try to cool the water in the Shell
don fountain said Mayor Hughes to
the council last night. ct costs from
81 to $L25 a day for ice, and the ice
does not do a particle of good" which
is enough to brighten people who voted
to raise their own salaries.
Councilman Clancy, who is a plum
Der, said that he thought the trouble
with the fountain is that the cooler is
too far away from the fountain, so that
no matter how cool the water may be
made. 1t gets warm again before it runs
into the basin. The cooler is about 8
feet from the fountain.
1t is likely that the council will have
the cooler moved to the fountain, or the
fountain to the cooler. Meantime, it is
likely that temporary fountains will be
placed at Fourth, Sixth and Eighth
streets on Kansas avenue. The water
company offers to furnish the foun-
tafns and the water, and the city will
furnish the ice.
The whole matter was referred to the
waterworks committee with power to
act.

HAS GOOD REASON.
Commander of Concord Knows Why
He Brought Her to Seattle.

Seattle, Wash, July 17.-Lieutenant
Commander Minett when seen aboard
the Concord declined to be interviewed
regarding the press dispatch from
Washington. regarding the return of
the Concord from Alaska without or
ders from Washington. He read the
dispatch with the greatest interest and
expressed his surprise at its contents.
Il hardly know what to say about
this Dispatch he remarked. 4 have
just received a telegram from the navy
department asking me to explain fully
by letter the reasons for bringing the
Concord to this port but I have not
yet prepared my answer.
ut will be impossible for me to say
anything pending instructions from the
navy department more than that have
an explanation which 1 am confident
will be entirely satisfactory to the de-
partment."
Commander Knox is still aboard the
Concord but will probably be detached
from the vessel and taken to a hospital
in this city tomorrow. His health has
considerably improved within the last
few days.

horrid stuff, but my friend urged me
to try again and let it boil longer. This
time had a very delightful beverage
and have been enjoying it ever since,
and am now in a very greatly improv-
ed condition OF health.
Ny brother is also using Postum in
stead of coffee and a friend of ours,
MIR. W., who was a great coffee user,

NAVAL DEMONSTRATION.
British Will Draw Attention Alvey
From Transvaa1.

New York, July ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The mob
nization of two fleets at Portsmouth
and Davenport for naval maneuvres of
exceptional interest serves to divert
public attention to the inglorious and
protracted war in South Africa. The
channel feet and the reserve squadron
will be pitted against each other in an
ingenious scheme of paper warfare de-
vised by the admiralty, and two adj
mirals will try to out-maneuvre each
other. Both fleets were rapidly mob
ilized, and the cruise will be followed
by the nation from day to day with
pride and interest, whether one admiral
or the other succeeds in breaking
through the official scheme, based al
most too obviously upon the strategic
value of Gibraltar and the possibility
of a French feet getting ahead of an
English fleet in reaching the goal. The
two SQuadronS are not evenly matched.
One is much faster and stronger than
the other.
These naval maneuvres are more
elaborate and costly than those con-
Quoted in recent years. It is Lord Sell
borne's first attempt to exploit the
resources of the British navy, and he is
not counting the cost. Possibly the
government considers it expedient to
make a big naval demonstration at a
time when British military prestige has
suffered from the tedious conflict with
the Roers

Train Crew Run a PeOn Down
Which Is Same as Murder.

Chicago. July IA special to the

An American train crew on the Mex

this city. having fed from the republic
to the north, in consequence of acct
dentally running over and killing a
Mexican and throwing his body in the
firebox of the locomotive. in hopes of
concealing his death.
The accident happened below Torren,
Mexico. A freight in an isolated spot
ran over a peon, killing the man in
stantly In Mexico, the death Of a sub
+ ject by a train is as much a crime as
murder. Knowing this the crew, to con-
ceal the accident, threw the body in the
frebox-
A few days later the relatives Of the
dead man began to make inquiry as to
his whereabouts. Some one had seen
him at a. certain point and one Mexican
from a distance saw the train stop. The
members of the crew were questioned
and fearing the truth would come out
they resigned their positions and fed
to the United States.
