MADE IN POP CORN.
Cleveland Man Who, Has Made a
 Fortune In Nina Years.

New York World.
 D. s. Humphrey of Cleveland. O.. the man who has popped his way from pow erty to a fortune has rounded the mil lion mark and is receiving the congratu- lations of friends who have grown robust on popcorn and molasses candy while Humphrey and his brothers and sisters have grown rich.
 If you want to make money, says this man who made it. "dont trust to luck. Make up your mind what the peo- pie want, make yourself believe that they will pay for it, and then give it to them
 Back in 1893 Humphrey stood on cor ner in this city and looked longingly at a popcorn cart. The corn smeilee appe- tizing and Humphrey was hungry. He jingled a very small quantity of very small change in the pocket of his worn trousers, contemplated the corn for time and bought some. Then he did bit of thinking. He noticed that the pop. per used by the yender wasn't much or a pepper. but that the man had no trou- ble in selling his wares He had an idea that he could make a better one and went home.
 Two years before the Humphrey family. consisting of Harlow, David, Emma and himself had come to Cleveland from Hu- ron County. A mortgage on the farm had been foreclosed and they had to bor- row $100 to get out of town. Thelr loea in coming to this city was to begin all over again, and this they did. In fact. they began several times. Bad luck pur- sued them and the oftener they tried to succeed the more dismal were their 1ali- ures On the night of the popcorn incl dent they were in sad straits.
 Mr. Humphrey confided his cornpopper ideas to the family. and then made a pepper. It was a good thing, ana ne tried to sell it. He talked oornpoppers to every corn man he could find, but tney' all said there was no money in making peppers and Humphrey decided he had one more failure on his hands.
 He concluded, however, to use the pop per up and so he started selling popcorn: He got an old cart, loaded it up and pushed 1t by hand to Cable Park, where there was fireworks show that night: The smell of the corn caught the crowd and Humphrey made S. That was the beginning. Humphrey concluded that there was more money in corn than Tn boomers. and he and the entire family got into the business. As fast as they were able they got other carts. painted them green and did a rushing business.
 Night after night they popped ana sold corn Hard work had driven the wolt from the door. In 1895 they rented a shole-in-the-wall' on Euclid Avenue, in front of a fish market. They are still there, and business has prospered. They invented a kind of pulled candy and that proved a good seller, too. Last year they made up their minds good summer park ought to pay, so they secured control or Euclid beach and Forest City Park.
 Besides the parks they have three stores and are worth A 100000, all made rom popcorn and candy.
 In one day, during home" week. last year, their sales were over S0o. Cleve- land eats more popcorn than any TOUT cities in the country, and Humphrey seils most of it.

uments which had emanated from the same source. The Lenox collection was submitted to the experts of the British Museum and pronounced "a worthless lot of forgeries," and collectors all the world over awoke to the painful discovery that their old MSS. were scarcely worth the paper they were written on.
 The forger's career was brought to a sudden termination. He was brought up for trial, thus closing a career of forgery which for daring. cleverness and success, has, perhaps, never been equalled.

The Italian poet. Carducci. IS evidentIy one of the genius irritabile. He Is profes- sor at the University of Bologna. One day the Representative Bertesi. happen, ing to be in the city, made up his mlnd to attend one of the poets lectures. But hardly had he entered the hall when Car ducci spoke up and commended him to leave. Bertesi promptly obeyed. and af- ter returning to his hotel he mailed his card to the professor, with the words: "Alfredo Bertesi, member of the Italian Parliament. wished to have the honor of hearing the poet whom he had long ad- hired; but in place of a poet he found ruffian"

Political "Pork" and "Liver."

It seems that in England the word "liver" instead of pork is used to de- signate the spoil, patronage or loot which Is distributed to political adherents or for corrupt lobby services. The idea is the same but the variety of the name gives it spice. In recent article MT. Labou- chere rallies the English Liberals on their total incapacity to invent an issue or plan a campaign that would give them a prospect of victory. He describes the process of selecting a leader as that Of ''Iiberal M. P.s smelling round to dis cover in whose pocket the liver IS likely to be found when 1t is distributed"

borhood and the whites in the settlement twenty miles north are thinking of nov ing. The lake is about fourteen miles long, bu. not of great width.
 At first the disturbance was conhned to that part of the water in the vicinity of the volcano, but now the water IS boiling over a considerable part of Its area and explosions are growing more and more frequent. People living in the neighborhood of Texico are often awaK- ened by them in the nighttime. Eruptions are going on all the time, but they are generally of sufficient force only to throw up the water to the height of few feet That makes no noise that can be heard at any great distance But occasionally the eruption breaks through the water and shoots mud into the air at height of forty feet. Whenever this happens the noise can be heard and flame can be seen for miles It was such demonstra- tions as these that frightened the Indians

VOLCANOES IN A LAKE.
A Remarkable Body of Wa-er Near
 the Mexican Boundary.

Arizona Republican.
 Squire Redwine, who has been in Phoe- nix for several days. yesterday described a smoking lake not far from the country where he lives. The lake is about forty miles from the town of Imperial and twenty-one miles south of Mexico. It lies within the Cocopah country at the base of the mountains even below the foothills. but it has not been there very long. It is on the Mexican side of the line. It used to be in California and was supplied with water by the Chino River, but the Mexicans damned that stream and the water was turned into the Cocopan River. which feeds the new lake, and does little else.
 Within the boundaries of the new lake there has been for several years what the Indians believed to be volcano. Smoke was almost constantly rising from the ground, but there had been no other sign of an eruption. The water of the lake now covers the volcano to a depth of from five to ten feet. Ever since the wa fer has been there there has been trouble, and it is getting worse every day. The Indians have moved from that neigh

KILLED HER HUSBAND
MRS. MoRRELL CoNFEssEs TO
 THE DEED.
Says She Shot Him While He. Was Asleep, Because He Had Threatened to Stay
 Her.

Columbiana. Aug. 9-(Special.) )-Some two months ago, or more, it will be re- membered that a Mir Morrell was killed in his home in or near Vincent, in this county. The killing was done with shot gun, but no one knew who fired the fatal shot. His wife's statement was that he was shot by some one from the outside of the house.
 Considerable efforts were made to ob- tain some clew to the guilty person, but without avail.
 Yesterday his wife came to this city. and, hunting up Sheriff Cox. surrendered herself to him. confessing that she is the one who killed her husband.
 Her story is that her husband had been drinking heavily for several days, and treated her during the y.hole time badly; that on the night he was killed, she was ministering to q sick baby, when her husband came in with his gun and load ed it in her presence with shells, telling her that he was putting in one load to kill her and the other to kill himself. He commanded her to get the baby to sleep in hurry, and that as soon as she did so, he would kill her and then he would kill himself. He lay down near her. his gun by his side, and watched her for some minutes. when he fell asleep. As soon as she assured herself that he | was sound asleep, she quietly got up, took his gun and shot him, killing him instantly.
 Her excuse is that she had seven chill dren, most of whom were small, and Alat 1k.1 pnf lra har 1a hlm. She Is now in jail here. waiting the action of the courts.
