Wisconsin and Michigan is discovered 20
belong to neither State. The city OF
Ironwood, Mich, is included in the strip
and the remainder lies between the Brule

made by e. d. Peake, an employe of the
Wisconsin Senate. 1t has always been
thought that this strip was included IN
the State of Michigan, but this is not the
case. Neither was it in the survey when
the State of Wisconsin was laid out. Inc
question has arisen as to whether or not
official acts, such as marriages ana lana

BATTLE WITH A TURTLE.
ome weighing One Hundred Pound~
seixes Restaurant Pa
troR's Legs.

Phillip Emmons, of Garwood, had
battle the other day in William Wus-
sler's restaurant, on Broad street,
Elizabeth, n. j., with a huge sea
snapper turtle weighing 100 pounds.
The turtle was permitted to crawl
around the floor, and Emmons
kicked it on the head. Suddenly the
snapper made dart at it's tormentor
and closed its jaws in his calf. En-
mons howled with pain and danced
around the floor, but was unable to
shake off the turtle. Sticks and
canes were vainly brought into use
by the excited diners, who thought
they could beat off the snapper from
his victim. The blood streamed from
Emmons' leg as he jumped around.
and the turtle hung on with the
tenacity of a bulldog.
Proprietor Wussler at last seized
an ice pick and plunged it into the
snapper's neck, which caused it to re-
lax it's grip. Emmons was badly Bit
ten and hardly able to stand. He
was taken to a nearby surgeon. who
dressed the wound and sent him to
a hospital. The snapper was de-
capitated shortly after the incident.
Emmons threatens to sue for dam
ages.

MOTHER FIGHTS EAGLE.
mrs. Goiding Chases Bird of Prey for
Miles and Receivers Infant
After Hard Battle.

Advices were received at San Ber-
nardino, Cal, the other night of a
fierce encounter between a woman
and two eagles on a mountain be-
tween Victor and Rose Mine, about
so miles north of San Bernardino.
Mrs. Golding is the wife o. the
stagekeeper of Box s., stage sta
ton. The other afternoon she was
sitting outside of the house beside
a cradle, in which lay her six-months-
old infant. Suddenly a dark shadow
swooped down and Mrs. Golding saw
large eagle rise up into the air
holding in it's talons her infant.
The mother rushed to where a mule
was tethered, and, pulling up the
stake-pin, jumped on its back, and
was soon following after the huge
bird, which found flight difficult with
its heavy burden.
The chase was continued for sew
eral miles, the eagle resting at in
tervals. When it alighted on its nest
high up in she mountains, Mrs. Gold
ing climbed above where she had seer
the eagle alight, tied one end of the
stake rope about tree trunk and lei
herself over the cliff. She landed or
a ledge and found the eagle. Selling
club she fought the angry bird, sue
ceeding in killing 1t.
Before she could escape TO the
ground the eagles mate appeared
and the mother had another encoun
ter, but drove the bird away. Mrs
Golding reached home late at nigh
in pitiable condition. The infan
escaped injury.
The story was telephoned to Sal
Bernardino by Superintendent Sparge
of the Gold Mountain Mining com
pany, who vouched for it's accuracy.

GENERATIONS OF DIPLOMATS.
Th@ FOz Family Holds the RecoFd In
the Consular Servfce-LOested
at Falmouth, Eng.

The family with the longest record
in diplomatic service is the Fox fam
lily. Four successive generations the
Fox family have held the post of con-
sui at Falmouth, England, since May
80, 1874, when President Washington
appointed as representative of this
government to that place Robert w.
Fox. On his death his son was ap-
pointed to the pace, to be succeed
ed by the grandson, Howard Fox.
who is the present consul, and whose
son is the vice consul The latter, it
is likely, will be appointed to sue
coed his father on the latter's retire
ment or death.
There have been many demands
made on each change of administra-
ton to Gust the Fox family, who are
English people, but the state depart
ment, largely for sentimental rea-
sons, has made no change in the Of
dce.
1t has been generally supposed that
Consul Sprague at Gibraltar and his
family had been longest in the diplo-
smatic service. but the Fox's have
held office under the state department
for a much longer period.

Unenrth. Big Dino.mur.

Chicago will have team of dino
saurs to exhibit in the Field Column
bian museum, owing to the remark
able success that has crowned the
efforts of Prof. Riggs. Three weeks
ago he found one of the antediluvian
monsters, and the other day came
across another 10 miles from Grand
Junction, Col. The remains are per
feet, and the professor says they are
the best ever recovered
The latest acquisition is over go
feet long and nine feet high. 1t is not
improbable that the latest fnd may
result in the discovery of a pasture
ground for the monsters, in which
event the whole country will be thor
oughly explored with the intention
of buying the ground for a national
boneyard to supply the museums OF
the world.

wILHELMINA'S HUSBAND.
ne Owes $500, 900, and Hi. wife won't
Help Him Out by Paying
His Debts.

The Hamburg papers are full-but
on what authority / know not-of
the position taken up by Queen Will
helmina in regard to the debts of her
prince consort, says the correspond
ent of the London Truth. She thinks
she has done enough in granting him
10000 year. That was what the
late :nestimable prince consort was
valued at by the house of commons
in 1899. 1t ought to be enough in all
reason for Mecklenberg. the fifth
son of poor house.
So says the Hamburg News, which
also states that the debts amount to
$4,000, that the creditors have clam
ored round the queens palace, and
that their threats were the cause of
much disturbance there.
Prince Henry's pay in the Prussian
army was very small, and his private
income probably no greater, if so
great. He is judge of horses and
was one of the best-mounted officers
of the Household guard. The ex-
penses of the officers of that corps
have become heavy since the present
kaiser mounted the throne. His
majesty likes show everywhere near
him. His harshest look of surprise
would chill any officer whose style OF
living was confession of poverty
In Prussian regiment the unit must
follow the general scale of expendi
ture, and yet more in the guards
than elsewhere. Officers enter q
regiment as they enter club, by the
general consent of those already il
it. They must be clubable in tn,
social side of regimental life and a.
concert pitch. But, even admitting
the largest estimate of the debts
they can be cleared of in five or si1
years out of the annuity of Prime,
| Henry.

Enlistments in the army are at a
unprecedented rate. much to the
qualification of artillery officers, who
are anxious to have the maximum
strength of their crops attained at
an early date. The last week there
were 4os enlistments, the previous
weekly average being less than 200.
This enabled the war department to
complete the third increment of artil-
lery increase and make the promo
tions among the commissioned Off
GERS. The surplus enlistments with
the additional transfers this week
gives Alt men on the fourth mere
ment of 1902 men.
All the infantry regiments are
now recruited to their strength and
all cavalry regiments except the
Thirteenth are full. This enables
the recruiting officers to throw all
the recruits to the artillery.

WOMEN DRIVE OFF PASTOR.
Village Gossips Annoy a widowed
Preacher So That He H&s
10 Resign.

Because village gossips informed
died with his affairs Rev. Charles
Rutherford has been forced to resign
as pastor of the Springfield q. H.
Presbyterian church. The gossips
criticised the pastor for paying at
tention to Miss Mamie Higbie, the
daughter of the sexton of the church.
Pastor Rutherford is a widower, 40
years old, and Miss Higbie is a dash
ingly pretty girl who has just turned
20.
The gossips concluded that she was
too young to be the minister's wife,
and certain unmarried elderly ladies
commenced to talk about Dominic
Rutherford's paying attention to a
slip of girl"
Pastor rutherford declares that
the connection of his name with Miss
Higbie's was mere idle gossip, and
that he does not see why people want
to NEEDLE in his personal affairs.
The gossip became so unbearable
that he was forced TO resign, but the
congregation voted unanimously to
sustain the pastor. They declared
that it was nobody's business whom
he called to see so long as he attend
ed to his duties as a minister. They
passed a resolution reaffirming their
faith in him and love for him. and
thought that the matter ended there
But the talk continued. and Pastor
Rutherford resolved to leave his
flock.

presbytery, concerning my persona
and private affairs has so affected me

Nothing pleased me more in the
states than to go into one of the
public schools and watch America
Americanizing. The Americans take
hold of the immigrants children and
1atten out whatever may be too un-
American in their mental makeup be-
meath the steam roller of the Eng
hsh language, with the result that no.
citizens are more ebulliently loyal
than the second generation of aliens
Nor can it be long before the intro
duction of the American public school
system into Cuba and Porto Rico
drives a stiff wedge into the domin-
ion of Spanish and makes English the
necessary language for an ambitious
colonial. American policy is, and al
ways has been, of the hard-headed
Bismarckian type, rarely to be
swayed by sentiment; they believe in
education as we believe in cricket,
and it is no great rashness to proph-
esy that within few years Spanish
will be leading at most a furtive, twi-
light sort of existence in the high
lands of SPANS ancient colonies, and
that q Cuban or a Porto Rican of the
towns and seaports who does not
speak English will be as rare as a

NIAGARA WILL NOT RUN DRY.
For the Reason That There Are
Three New Sources of Water Sup
ply for the Great Lakes.

The Sun on the 50th ult. contained
an article with the caption: "Will
Niagara Run Dry?'' In reply l beg
to say no. Why? writes Francis
Wayland Glen, in the New York Sum-
First-Because when the Georgian
bay and Ottawa river canal is con-
structed with Is feet of water over
the lock sills the waters of Lake
Nippissing, Trout lake and Lake
Talon will discharge into Georgian
bay and therefore raise the water
level of Lake Huron. Trout lake is
80 feet deep, and is fed by the per-
petual snow and ice of the upper
part of the valley of the Ottawa
Second-A canal can be cut from
Lake Nipegon to Lake Superior.
Nipegon is a large and deep lake,
and is also fed from many streams
which rise in the region of perpet-
ual snow and ice.
Third-When q ship canal is con-
strueted through Rainy lake and
Rainy river to Lake of the Woods,
another large body of water would
discharge into Lake Superior. These
three sources of supply will more
than counterbalance the discharge of
water through a ship canal from
Chicago to deep water upon the Illi-
nois river.
The Canadian government IS pro-
testing against our building the Chi
cago drainage canal, although Lake
Michigan is entirely within United
States territory. If Canada has any
rights in Lake Michigan which we
are bound to respect, then we have
rights in Georgian bay which Canada
is bound to respect.
We have the same right to protest
against constructing a ship canal
from the Georgian bay to Montreal
for the admission of war vessels into
the upper lakes that she has to OBJ
ject to our constructing a canal from
Lake Michigan through the Illinois
river for drainage purposes
Hon. Andrew II. Green, with his
usual foresight, has been urging the
creation of an international commits
sion for the purpose of dealing with
international waters, and also for the
purpose of suggesting continental
system of international deep-sea
/ canals.
There is no more important ques-
ton for the electors of this republic
than the creation of that commits
