Santiago, Cuba, April S.-Fifteen
hundred pounds of dynamite were
used by the authorities of the port
in blowing up the forward superstruc-
ture of the United States collier Merri-

ia explode in week, thus completely
clearing the harbor entrance. Satur-
days incident was highly spectacular.
Residents on Smith Key, adjacent to
the wreck, left the island fearing that
their houses would be demolished. The

pie and large number of pleasure

chicago River /. Now Paragon of Purity

Chicago River is Now Paragon OF Purity
The arrest of ship steward for "de-
Hing" the waters of the Chicago riv-
,r with soapsuds and potato parings re-
moves all doubt concerning the COM
oIete rehabilitation and renovation Of
his much-maligned stream. In one
short year the most odOriferous stream
IN earth. whose fOulness was Of world
wide notoriety and in whose bed re-
posed the accumulated and decompos-
ng refuse of a great city, has been
transformed into such a paragon of
purity that soapsuds actually defile it..
Time was when copious and frequent
loses of sOapsuds in the Chicago river
were encouraged on the theory that it
neutralized its fOulness and tended to
lrrest decomposition. But all the soap
suds that could be poured into it could
not cleanse it, so hopeless was its con-
1ition of solidified filth.
But the Chicago river no longer Of
tends the sensitive olfactories of the
strangers within our gates. That which
was the butt of merry ridicule and
lest, whose variegated smells were en-
balmed in rhymes of satire and deri-
sion, is thing of the past. ~
The arrest of the ship steward on
Tuesday was intended as a timely
warning by the sanitary board to all
who have been in the habit of acting
tarelessly in the. vicinity of the Chi
,ago river Stevedores who manicure
their finger nails while on the river
will be arrested Water that is emp
tied into tile river must be pasteurized
or boiled, and nothing in the way of
refuse will be tolerated. Lake cap
tains who are in the habit of indulg-
ing in seaworthy profanity must have
their speech disinfected before they
pass Rush street bridge.

and cleaned by the blue waters of Lake
Michigan. The drainage board is going
to keep it clean If it has to arrest ev'

How They Do in China.

Tn China liquids are sold by weight and grain yby meas sure. sJohn buys soup by the pound and cloth by the foot. A Chinaman never puts his name outside of his shop, but paints instead motto, or a list of his goods, on his vertical signboard. Some re- assuring remark is frequently added, such as "One word hal" ""A child two feet high would not be cheated" Every single article has to be bar gained for, and it is usual for the cus- toner to take his own measure and scales with him. A strong man has difficulty carrying on his back two pounds worth of the copper cash, which is the common currency, so it is necessary to take a:servahfto carry one's purse. The sycee of silver is the only other form of money besides the copper tael. As it weighs about 67 ounces, hammer and a,cold chisel are Indispensable for making change. When you engage a. servant or make 8 bargain, 1t is not considered binding until "the fastening penny" has been paid. Although his bad faith is notori- ous in some matters, yeti to do him justice, when once this coin has been paid by you the Chinaman, coolie, or shopman, will generally stick to his bargain, even if the result to him be losS.-Detroit Free Press.

Shameful to Whistle In Europe

ssNozyhere but in the United States and England do men and boys whistle in public with shame" said a travelef the other night who is on his way around the world for the third time. ''In France I have heard men hum on the streets, and in Germany and Russia I have even heard them sing, but not even when they are in toxicated will these foreigners whis- tie as we do. It is odd that we should have this habit. It is common to the wealthy and high born among us as well as to the poor and lowly. Only the other afternoon l saw a young man, who aims at exclusiveness and has valet, whistling Dolly Gray on Chestnut street as loud as he could. Here and there some one smiled slight ly at him, but he attracted no undue attention, whereas, had he been in Paris or in St. Petersburg they would probably have locked him up for a lunatic. The Japanese and Chinese never whistle. All those whom I have met do not know how, and they can't learn. I have been informed. as a mat ter of fact, that neither the Japanese nor the Chinese language has a word for whistling." Philadelphia Rec ord.

MUST REMAIN IN JAIL.
Or Else Rev Edward Bell Must Make
 a Retractien.

Stamford, Conn, Aug 22.-Rev Ed ward Bell, pastor of the New Canaan Baptist church, was last night taken to Bridgeport jail, where he will re main until he retracts statement made by him from his pulpit last Sun day evening refecting, it is alleged, on the character of Judge G.DuH Nichols, one of New Canaan's most prominent citizens, or until his case comes up in the common pleas court the second week in September.
 The bond offered last night by Dea- con Erastus Futile would not be ac- cepted to-day, owing to the discovery that the property was in the name of Mrs Futile, and she refused to sign the bond. When this became known MT Bell was chained to tramp, sentenced for drunkenness, and led through the principal streets of New Canaan to the station.
 It is now believed that the affair will be amicably settled. Judge Nich- ols has informed MT Bell, through his attorney, that if he (BelD will make satisfactory apology from his pulpit Sunday night. the islander suit will be withdrawn. It is believed MT Bell will accept the proposition, as he said when b1arding the train for Bridge port that he would occupy his pulpit as usual next Sunday.

GIRL SHOT IN FOOT.
Mother of Girl Gave Gun to Playmate
 Who Fired the Shot.

Hartford, Aug 23.-The old story, "Didn't know it was loaded, and lit tie Erlecta Goodwin, years old, may die. If she lives she will be cripple for life. Her friend and playmate, Clayton Colton. did it and will ever suffer from the remorse occasiOned by the disaster.
 Erlecta Goodwin is a pretty little child. the only daughter of Harry F. Goodwin. wlio is employed at the Johns Pratt company as q contractor and lives at No 106 Blue Hills avenue. She was playing croquet under a fine old elm tree in the rear of the house about 6:30 o'clock yesterday evening with several of her playmates, when q flock of cf0ws passed over the tree. Clayton Colton, b years old, who was playing around there With his cousin. Herbert Colton, Is years old, ran into the Goodwin house and asked Mrs Goodwin, the mother of the victim of the accident, for a gun to shoot the crows
 Mrs Goodwin handed the boy shot gun which belonged to her husband and stood in a corner near the dining room door. and running up stairs got three shells from her husbands stock. These and the gun, Clayton Cotton gave to his cousin Herbert and went to look for the crows. When he re- turned with the information that the crows were out of sight, he took the gun from his cousin and running around the tree pointed the weapon at Erlecta's feet, standing about three feet distant and shouted Look out Erlecta.'' Before the little girl could move or hear another warning from a girl near her, Clayton pulled the trig- ger and the charge of shot entered Erlecta's right foot at the instep, tear ing the foot terribly. The ground where she stood shows the force of the charge. the turf being torn up.
 The suffering child was taken into her house and Dr J. E. Waters was called. An examination showed that the foot was too mangled to save, and 1t was amputated just above the ankle, about 9:3O o'clock last night. It was said at the hospital late last night that the child had chance of life.
 All the circumstances indicate that after Clayton gave the gun and cart ridges to Herbert, the latter, expecting his cousin would want q shot at the crows. placed cartridge in the gun. Mrs Goodwin declares that the gun was not loaded when she gave it to the boy and says that it was never kept loaded in the house. The child lost considerable blood before being taken to the hospital and was suffering a great deal. but she was very brave and smiled and told her name when she was placed in cot at the hospital upon arrival.
 The accident has a very pathetic side. She was shot with her fathers gun by her dearest playmate and with cart ridge furnished by her mother. The gun is a breech loading, hammerless breakdown weapon and could be dis without cooking the trigger, the action of cooking. and firing being continuous. Clayton Cotton. the un- fortunate cause of the accident, was overcome with remorse and fear last night and it was pitiful to witness his solicitude for his little. playmate, the victim of his carelessness.
