CONNECTED
Navigable Stream Between
 Lake AtIin and Tsku.

The story that Atlln lake and Iaku arm are now connected for the purpSse of navi- gatlon comes from Atlln. Taking advan- tage Of the extremely low water In the Atllntoo ri, CT, connecting Atlln lake with Taku arm, Dr. Troughton made a public bensfactor of himself, and practically con- verted the river into a navigabls water way. There was no time to communicate with the government authorities ln Ottt- wa on the subject In order to get an apprO- priatlon. so Dr. Troughton sent ort a gang of men at his own expense to blow out the rocks which have been resonsibls for all ihe wreclzs in the river.

Will Relieve stringencv.

Washington. Oct 1.-The action of Secretary Shaw in offering to buy bonds for the sinking fund to relieve the pres ent stringercy in the money market. is favorably commented on by financiers here. It is pointed out that the $150oO, = 600 As which the Secretary expects to ob- tain under this offer will result in putting into circulation about $2) GOO. 600 which at this late date in crop-moving. will, be- yOnd reasonable doubt, carry the coun- try safely over the crisis whiih is an- nually experienced at this period
 Although the Secretary's offer was not made public until noon today, the Assist ant Treasurer at New York at o'clock reported to the rspartment that $s, 403 200 had been already deposited in the sub treasnry there.

Perdomo Admires Americans,

Panama, Oct. 17.-General Perdomo yes- terday notified the foreign consuls here that he had assumed the functions of Supreme Commander of Colombian forces on the isthmus as We'll as those of the Minister of State. General Perdomo has declared:
 With the exception of the Department of Panama, in the Departsments of Mag dalena and Bolivar. the republic is paci- fled.
 'I have been very agreeabiy impressed with the American forces on the isthmus At Colon the American consul visited me and was very kind and amicaDie.
 AS result of my conversation with the American Consul have absolutely no fear that any difficulty will arise between Colombia and the American forces here on the railroad company. I think the landing of United States Marines has been effective in maintaining free transit over the lsthmus
 q am q great friend of the United States and I admire that country. had all Colombians favor the construction of a canal by the Americans and my princi- pal object In pacifying the isthmus is to make possible a meeting of the Colom- bian Congress to consider the canal bill. "

CONDITION OF IRELAND.
MT. Redmond Speaks on Arriving in
 Boston.

Boston.
 Boston, Oct. i.-On the steamship New England. which arrived from Queens town today, was John E. Redmond, M. P, chairman of the Irish Parliamentary Party and President of the United Irish League; John Dillon, M.~ P. for East Mayo, and Michael Davitt. They are to address the members of the United Irish League which holds It's national conven- ton in this city.
 A committee went down to the harbor on tug and greeted the delegates at quarantine. Mir. Redmond in speaking of conditions in Ireland, said:
 "The United Irish League is the ruling power in Ireland today, as truly as ever the land league was. The Government played into their hands by the coercion policy and now the country is aroused. We are on the eve of a settlement of the Irish land question, and after that nation al self-government will speedily come to Ireland.
 "The Irish party now in the House of Commons is the only real opposition in the English Parliament. and believe the day is near at land when 1t will have the controlling interest in Great Britain.
 Hundreds of Irishmen are imprisoned under the coercit act without receiving trial by jury. But nobody cares for inn prisonment under the circumstances The more the people. the higher their spirits arise"
 The only comment ne made on the for cible expulsion of John O'Donnell, M. F., from the House of Commons day or two ago and the reimprisonment of Pat rick A. McHugh, M. F., was that 1t showed that the opposition to the Eng fish Government in the House of Com is, as usual, led by the Irish party.

LEGEND OF A FAMOUS CHINA.
Fable That Accounts for the Exist
 ence of the Willow Pattern.

Just now the old-fashoned blue and white china wares are very much in vogue on fashionable tables, and prob ably thousands of persons use the ia miliar old willow-pattern dishes without knowing the romance of the design. It is the old, old story. In the mansion on the right dwelt a wealthy mandarin with his only daughter, Li-chi. This young lady was in love with her fathers secre- tary, Chang. whose modest residence was on the island. seemingly at no great dist anee from the mainland, on the upper side of the platter.
 One day, so the story goes the man darin heard the lovers phghting their vows under the orange tree by his house. and, bouncing down Upon them, he then and there forbade their future meetings, whereupon they eloped and for a time hid in the gardeners cottage beyond the bridge and the willow tree. The three figures on the bridge represent the man darn and two of his servants on their way to the hiding-place, but when they arrived there the lovers had already es- capped in boat to Chang's island homa. whither the mandarin also followed and would have slain them in his wrath had not the gods kindly changed them in the nick of time into a pair of turtle doves. It Is called the willow pattern because the flight of the lovers took place in the season when the willow sheds its blossoms.

ALL ON THE PENSION ROLL.
The Peculiar Names of Some of Uncle
 Sam's Pensioners in Kansas.

Sam's Pensioners in Kansas. | Kansas City Journal.
 | The pension agency located at Topeka confAns a list of names which furnishes I a peculiar commentary on the ideas pos l sessing some parents who wish to start l their offspring with as big a handicap as | possible in the race of life. The poet has exhorted a patriotic nation to pension the Missouri mule. But ere the poet sang. | a daughter was born to a couple in Mis- souri, who out of love for their Statc. named her Missouri, and when MT Muele made love to Missouri she consented and became Missouri Muele. Her husband | died on the field of battle and now Mis- souE Muele is on the list as pensioner. The residence and occupation of MT. Butcher Paradise is not known, but the hope is expressed that in spending his pension he will not jeopardize his last name by any dalllance with the game suggested by his first name. If Butcher reaches Paradise it will be an eye-opener to many a doubter.
 Elizabeth Borngesser would be a prop CT person to hazard an opinion as to the verdict of an American jury, or a decision of the Supreme Court, or even the out come of an election contest.

STAMP WORTH $500.
Philatelic Prize Possessed by Syr'
 acuse, N. Y., Man.

Philatelic Prize Possessed by Syr-
 acuse, N. Y., Man.
 Syracuse Post-Standard.
 John F. Seyboid of this city, has added a twelvepence (black Canadian to his rare collection of postage stamps This may not mean much to the unnitiated, but speaks volumes to the philatelist. Its rarity may be guessed when it Is known that it Is valued at $500, and MT. Seybold says he would not part with 1t for a great deal over that figure The best informed dealers and collectors agree that there are not over thirty-five of these stamps in the world. while some of the more conservative place the number at thirteen. This one is the origin Il cover and Is the only one known to exist in this form. the others being sep- arate stSGnps.
 The stamp is of the issue of June IA, 1851. to December 1. 1854. There were in all 51 400 stamps issued, of which the larg- est number sent to a single office was to Hamilton, which received 300. On May 1, 1857, the stamps not used were all de- stroyed The total number of stamps put into circulation from the issue was 1.610. The stamp purchased by Mir. Seybold bears a Hamilton poStmark.
 The stamps of this issue were made by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson Of New York, who also printed the first is- sue of United States Government stamps in iS47
 At the time of the issue of the twelve pence stamp the postage to England was one shilling (25 cents sterling), the Can adan currenc" being at discount. The postage to the West Indies was twelve- pence and to the United States siXpence. Therefore. about all of the stamps went either to the West Indies or came to this country. few. if any going outside of the two countries and Canada. those coming to this country carrying, of course. a double-weight letter. As there were few. If any, collectors. In the West Indies, the stamps sent to that country were about all destroyed.
 Government buildings and old corre- spondence have been turned over to dis cover mere of these rare stamps and the groInd has been thoroughly covered. so that there is little chance of others be- ing found. In Kingston, Ont, a boy col lector had one, which he parted with not long ago for g. and the stamp was re- sold in a short time for $200. A pair sold recently in Boston for q 800.

SPLIT, BRITTLE, DULL HAIR. All Come from Dandruff, Which is
 Caused by a Germ.

Split hair, harsh hair. lusterless hair. brittle hair. falling hair, all owe their origin to dandruff, which is caused by a me asIy little microbe that burrows into the scalp, throwing up the cuticle into dandrun scales and sapping the vitality of the hair at the root, causing the sev- eral diseased conditions of the hair till it finally falls out. Modern science has discovered a remedy to destroy the dan dl uff microbe, which is combined in Newbro's Herpicide, which may be had of any druggist. Anays itching instantly and makes hair soft as silk. Take no substitute; nothing just as good" Send 10 cents in stamps for sample. The Her picide O.. Dept. "K," Detroit, Mich Sold by E. G.

A Syndicate Organized.

New York, Oct. 17-It was definitely learned at the National Cty Bank today that a syndicate headed by that bank is to sell $15. GOO, 900 bon Is to the Government. The syndicate is hade up of the National City Bank. Harvey. Fisk & Sons. Fisk & Robinson, Farson, Leach & Co.,, and Yer milye & Co.
 The Government having agreed to the purchase of 5,o00,000 at 13S nat, and any amount more of these bonds at the price named in Secretary Shaws offer, $9 9000, GOO were turned in today by the syndicate and the remainder will be put in later. Some O fthe members of the syndicate are turning their bonds over to the National City Bank for delivery to the sub-treas- ury and others are turning the bonds into the sub-treasury direct. But the Gov ernment checks made out at the sub treasury in payment will all be made out to the credit of the National City Bank, which will make the distribution among the dembers of the syndirate.
 Vice-President Vanderlip of the National Citly Bank has represented Secretary ShSw in the negotiations with the re- mainder of the syndicate.
 Chicago, Oct. 17-Secretary of the Treas ury Shaw, who is making campaign tour of this section of the country, was at the Auditorium Hotel today and in replying to a treasury officer as to pur- chase United States bonds, as announced from Washington said:
 What amount of bonds will be deliv- cred on this proposition. I cannot say but have assurances indicating that the purchase will aggregate $15O00,000 face value which will release a little over $20- GOO, 900. What few bonds there are held either by trust estates that would not be released at any price or by those who need neither the money nor interest and the government securities. So soon as the government becomes a purchaser. prices advance. Conditions which have made the purchase of bonds advisable are by no means local The September state ment revealed the fact that the banks of Lincoln. Neb.. which should have had 25 per cent reserve, had less than 19 per cent and the banks of Des Moines, which should have g per cent had less than 20 per cent While the money for the bonds has gone largely to Eastern holders it will very naturally find it's way into all channels of trade.''
 Secretary Shaw left this afternoon for Warsaw Ind, where he will make q speech tonight, going from there to De- troit. where he will speak tomorrow night,
