MADE HER FORTUNE.

Seek ng of luck said remiuis-
cent man, ''reminds me of how for
tune came to a boarding house keep
er in mill town where I once lived.
There came to the house when he FIRST
struck the town Il new millhand.
This boarler seemed at first ust
like any other young man with good
appetite, out of " HON the profit to be
made was likely to be small, but it
was speedily discovered that he was a
man of ability and promise, who was
likely to get on at the mill lie made
great progress at the works. ltwasn't
long before he was at the head of the
section Of the forge department there,
the boss, in fact, of the four ton ham,
mers.
GAS far as he was concerned the
only thing that marred his happiness
was the toushness Of the steaks they
had at the boarding house, and that
they were tough nobody could deny.
But he was equal to the occasion there
as he had proved himself to be at the
mill.
"'Madam,' he said one day to the
landlady, if you will let ME take the
steaks you buy before you cook them
I will make them Just as tender as can
be without any cost to you wha So

"Now, he had paid bis board regu-
larly, and he was at that moment viz
tually the star boarder. ;! he land
lady handed him the next morning
without hesitation the bundle Of steak
just as it came from the butcher, and
the hammer boss just took 'em over
tc the mill, this being before the
regular starting time in the morning,
and, adjusting one of the four ton
hammers to about the right gauge,
started it up and ran the steaks a
couple of times under the hammer.
"Good? Why, they were just SIM
ply beautiful, and every morning af-
ter that the genial hammer boss used

fast and quietly, without the knowl-
edge Of any one, run the landlady :

of her hoarders. And so she accum-

TERRIBLE RAvAGES' OF WAR.

one-sixth Of Natives of Luzon Killed by
War and Fever In Last Two Years.
Brigadier-General Bell, who has Just
arrived in Washington. direct from the
Philippines, where he was i'm command
of four departments of fsouthern Luzon,
says:
One-sixth of the natives of Luzpn
have either been killed or have died OF
the dengue fever in the last two years.
The loss of life by killing alone has
been very great, but l think that not
one man has been Slain except where
his death served the legitimate pur-
poses of war. 1t has been necessary
to adopt what in other countrieswould d
probably be thought harsh meas
ures, for the Filipino is tricky and
crafty and has to be fought in his own
way.
One of my sentinels was Nbeheaded
within $50 yards of my headquarters.
His executioner was bolopaan, who
came into camp disguised as a fruit
vender. He had his bolo hidden in his
basket, and at the opportune moment
drew it and with one blow cut off the
sentinel's head.

Jacksonville j Destitute.

The great fire at Jacksonville, Fla.
burned itself out Saturday. Ono hum
dred and forty-eight blocks Of bsautil
ful city were laid waste. The loss ID
now placed at 81, ZOO, 900. There are
rumors that many lives were lost, but
as every undertaken in the city was
burned out, it is impossible to obtain
confirmation. One story is persisten IL '
reiterated to the effect that party OF
men and women, driven to the docks
by the fire, were compelled to jump
Into the water and several of them
were drowned.
Ten thousand people are homeless
and being fed by charity. All stores
that were not burned have been ordered
to open their doors and sell to every
one who applies. Contributions Of
food, tents, bedding and other supplies
as well as money are being received on
every train, but the demand has been
greater than the supply. Appeals for
outside help have been made.

Japanese Cabinet Resigns.

In consequence of the continued
postponement by the Japanese minis
ter of finance, Viscount Watanabe, of
the carrying out of the expected public
works, the cabinet crisis reached eli
max, and Marquis Ito, the premier,
after the cabinet meeting May 3, pro-
ceeded to the palace and rendered his
resignation to the Mikado.
All the other members of the cabinet
did likewise, with the exception of the
minister of war, Baron Kodama. 1t is
asserted that Marquis Ito advised EN-
peror Mutsuhito to intrust the task of
forming new cabinet to Marquis
Yamagata, whose government resigned
last octobsr, but 1t is doubtful whether
Marquis Yamagata will accept the re-
sponsibility. The probability is that
Marquis Ito will reinstate the cabinet,
excluding Viscount Watanabe.

10000 PEOPLE HOMELESS
AT JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
Fire Burns Over One Hundred and Thirty
Blocks, Causing Property Loss of
Ten Milton Dollars.

Jacksonville, Florida, is city Of
desolation. 1t was, on Friday, swept
by the most disastrous are ever known
there, and her people are dazed and
of the catastrophe.
According to the city map, 1870 blocks
were burned, many of them in the
heart of the business and residence Sec
tion.. The estimate of houses to the
block is ten, hence 1900 of them went
up in smoke. Many of the finest pub
lie and private buildings were de-
stroyed, including hotels, theatres,
churches and residences. The mayor
stated that he estimated the loss at
SIS, 5000 900, and that 10000 to $4,000
people were homeless.
The fire started ms the result of a bit
oftwire accidentally getting into the
shredding machine of the American
Fibre company, at the corner of Davis
and Union streets. The fire started
between the hours of 12 and o'clock
in the afternoon, and owing to this fact
the loss of life will be comparatively
small.
The fibre factory was wooden shell
full Of inflammable material, and In a
few moments it was a mass of flames.
The wind, which was already blowing
strong from the southwest, seemed to
be possessed with a sudden fury, and
soon was carrying destructive embers
all through the city, the fairest portion
of which lay right in the course of the
wind.

British Census.

The returns for sixty-seven county
boroughs in England and Wales show
a population of 9, 1876, ,716, or an increase
of 1,069, 7ss since 1891. Liverpool RET
turns show an increase of 56, 72s; Leeds,
61,44s; Manchester, 3s,5s2, and Birm+
ingham, 44,o69.
1t is expected that the returns for
the London suburbs will show large
increases, explaining the comparatively
small increase in London itself. An
instance of this may be found in Croy-
don, ten miles from London, where the
population has increased by 3i,19o, or
almost as great as Manchester, which
is four times its size.

The Salt Palace and ball grounds

MONUMENT UNVEILED
TO OREGON PIONEERS.
Spot Upon Which First American Govern
ment West OF Rockies Had Its Birth
Dedicated.


At Champeog, n village thirty miles
south of Portland, Ore, there was un-
veiled, May 2, granite monument
dedicated to the memory of the fifty
two founders of the provisional govern
ment of Oregon, established in 1s43. 1t
was an event that marks an epoch in
the history of Oregon, and dedicates as
historic ground the spot upon which
the first American government west of
the Rocky mountains had its bi til.
The ceremonies attending the unveil-
ing of the monument were of most
interesting character. Pioneers and
pathfinders-the men who helped lay
the foundation Of the state of Oregon
were the principals in the exercises
that were listened to with close atten-
tion by the 5000 visitors present.
The monument was unveiled by the
sole survivor of the memorable meeting
that resulted in the establishment of
0regon's provisional government, the
venerable Francis Xavier Matthew. All
of the addresses were by pioneers, who
had been identified with the growth
and development of the state from it's
infancy. The principal speakers were
Governor I. 7, Greer, Rev. Ii. X. Hines
and Hon. John Mimic.

Army in Philippines VIII be Reduced to
10000 Men.

After careful consideration of the
situation, the administration has de-
cided to reduce the army in the Philip
pines to 10000. The opinion prevails
that this number will be ample for the
present needs of the service in the
islands, and if conditions continue to
improve in the satisfactory manner
that has been shown in the past few
months the force may be reduced still
further. The expectation of the war
department is that all of the volunteers
now in the Philippines will have left
the islands by the end of June, leaving
only the regulars on duty there.

STARVING CHILD EATS GRASS.
Awful Fate of Five-Year~Oid Child Near
Prosser, Washington.


With her little hands and mouth all
stained with green from the grass and
flowers she had eaten in her desperate
hunger, and with her features drawn
in the dying agonies OF thirst, the body
Of the five-year-old daughter of w. b.
Matthews, who was lost on the dreary
wastes of Horse Heaven plains, near
Prosser, WASH, nearly week ago, was
found Thursday.
The child in her agony had crawled
into big badger hole on the prairie,
and with her arms outstretched before
her had died. From the appearance of
the body, the child had been dead about
thirty-six hours, so for five days and
nights she had been without food and
water.
The girl, with her seven-year-old
brother, left her fathers ranch to hunt
cattle. In some way the children be-
came separated. When the boy re-
turned home without his sister, the
alarm wa, at once given and searching
parties organized, and scores of men on
horseback secured the surrounding
country day and night ever since.
Barefoot when she left home, the
little girl in her wanderings had cut
and bruised her feet, and had gathered
the tough prairie grass and wound it
around them for protection. Beside
her in the badger hole lay bunch of
flowers and grass which she had been
eating. The place where the child was
found was fully seventeen miles from
the ranch, and not far from Lone
Springs.
