On last Monday night, at about
II O'Clock fire was discovered in
the Odd Fellows Building at Hay
denville. Although the entire force
of the town was given to quench
the flames, the entire building was
destroyed. A meeting held in the

originated from the accidental ig-

ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
DISCOVERY OF BONES IN KANSAS THAT
ARE BELIEVED To BE AT LEAST
TWELVE THOUSAND YEARS OLD.

Few discoveries in the last haf century have
created such sensations as the finding Of bones
suggestive Of the existence Of the human race
at a much earlier period than had been com-
monty supposed. The latest incident Of this
class is less startling than some others be-
cause the scientific world is getting used to such
revelations. and also because comparatively
modest estimates are made Of the antiquity Of
the newly found specimen. The latter. however,
is exceptionally complete. and. whatever may
be the Interpretation finally put upon II by
ethnoIogists, the age Of the deposit from which
it was exhumed is at,ested by American geolo-
gists Of high repute. one of them, Professor
Warren Upham. thinks that it dates back be-
tween twelve thousand and twenty thousand
years from the present time.
The story of the discovery is briefly TOLD by

oLD-TIME STATESMAN FORGOTTEN

Yet Oliver Eilsworth Rendered valunhh,
Services to the Nation.
Why is it that Oliver Ellsworth has
received so little attention from bioS-
iaphers and historians? asks Frank
Gaylord Cook in the April Atlantic.
He was not born in Massachusetts, or
Virginia. In Connecticut, like Penn
sylvania, the historic field has been
meagerly titled. Moreover, the dra-
matte and opportune quality of his
work has been perceived only through
the perspective of subsequent years:
TO negotiate an unpopular convention
for a party just retiring from office in
defeat and ignominy is not conducive
to Immediate fame. Nevertheless he
has not been wholly overlooked by
subsequent statesmen. Webster said
OF him: For strength of wisdom, Cor
sagacity, wisdom and sound good
sense in the conduct of affairs, for
moderation of temper, and general
ability, it may be doubted if New Eng
land has yet produced his SUPERIOR

CHICAGO is FOURTH GREAT PORT

Exceeded in Tonnage Only by London.
New York and Hamburg.
In the thirty years since 1870 Chica-
COS shipping has more than quadru-
pied and in the tonnage of arrivals
and clearances Chicago now ranks
fourth among the ports of the world,
following London, New York and
Hamburg
The latest figures relating to this
matter are: London, 16,529,O95 tons:
New York, 16,445, 800; Hamburg, A.
l9S,Sl7; Chicago, 1885, 100; Antwerp,
13,573,472; Liverpool, 11,S1S,O0O, and
Marseilles, 9,629,114.
Chicago leads all United States ports
except New York in tonnage, and the
constant extension of lake traffic has
added not only to the commerce of
chicago, but likewise very largely to
the commerce of Cleveland, now a very
important port of entry; Detroit, Buff
falo, Milwaukee, Duluth and Toledo.
The chief articles of commerce on
the lakes are wheat, flour, coal, iron
and lumber. In 1871 the number Of
bushels of wheat passing through
the 500 canal was 1876, 705, while last
year the number of bushels was co.
100000, or more than forty times as
much as in 1871.

LITTLE ADVANCEMENT IN CANADA

reputation Increases Only Through In
fux of Undesirable Immigrants
Not only has there been but little
increase in the total population of
Canada during the last twenty years,
as is shown by the latest census, but
according to the Montreal Star, what
increase there has been is due largely
to the influx of Chinese, japanese,
Scandinavians, Russians, Italians, Ga
Aclans and Poles. These replace peo-
pie OF British, Irish and French de-
scent who migrate to the United
states. Furthermore, Canada is serv-
ing as a dumping ground for imrni-
grants excluded from the United States
because of their undesirahi.ity, With
IN six months, some 4,000 Immigrants
OF This sort, unable to cross the bor-
Ger, have been left stranded in Can
ada, and what this means is explained
by statement of Robert Watchorn,
special United States immigration in
spector at Sault Ste. Marie, to the eff
t.et that SO per cent of rejected Euro
pean immigrants are suffering from
infectious diseases, the direct result of
Nth and lack of sanitary method.
