Oueer Turkish Fish

April ID is the great fete day Of 'Ba-
lukli," or place Of fishes. This is a
small church situated outside the walls
of Constantinople, and it enjoyed no
particular reputation before the con-
quest Of Constantinople by the Turks.
At the time Of the invasion, however, a
monk was cooking some fish there
when a messenger came and told him
that the Turks had entered CONSTANT
nople. The monk did not believe the
story and said he would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would jump
back into the water. AS he spoke the
fish jumped back into the water, and
since then the place has had a great
reputation for it's healing powers.
A church has been built over the
spring dedicated to "Our Lady OF the
Fishes" and on this day regular pill
grimage takes place from ali parts OF
the town. Many sick are carried thith-
er, and many miraculous cures are re-
ported. The truth Of the story is proved
by the presence in large marble lined
tank in the church Of the lineal de-
scendants of the half cooked fish. ANY
one who does not believe has only to
look in the water, and he will see them,
brown on one side and white on the
other, swimming about at their ease.

Sea Bathing.

A person can easily determine with
one indulgence whether or not open
air bathing is hurtful to him. If cir
culation is speedily restored after he
has left the water, If his skin is well
reddened and he IS soon we'll warmed
up and as strong and ''lively'' as when
he took his first plunge, then he may
properly assume that his bath has done
him good. If, on the other hand, his
skin continues cold and clammy for 10
or 20 minutes, Notwithstanding the
brisk rubbing he gives himself, and for
an hour or more afterward he is week,
dull and languid, then he may be toler-
ably certain that there is something
wrong with him which forbids cold
bathing.

A Pot WallopeP.

The parliamentary register for 1895
showed that there was then only one
pot walloper in all England. One see
ing the term for the first time might
easily imagine that pot walloper was
a species of ichthyosaurus or some 9TH
er reptile of a past age. It will be dis
covered upon inquiry, however, that
the term "pot walloper' is literally one
who boils a pot and was applied to Vot-

form bill of 1882, the qualifications for
suffrage was to have boiled (wallopeO

growing, and higher up are currant and

BUTTE's MINING CONGRESS.

4 CITING GOVERNOR HAMMOND
Il has appointed q strong delegation
to represent Utah at the sessions of
the International mining congress which
are to be held in Butte beginning Sept.
/ It is important that as many of the
delegates as can possibly spare the
time make the trip to the Montana
metropolis. Indeed, Utah should have
a big delegation aside from those who
will participate in the proceedings of
the congress.
This state depends upon the mining
industry to a marked degree for it's
prosperity. From one end. of it TO the
other men are busy with pick and drill.

directly or indirectly interested in

mining men in the United States will
be there, and anything they have to

expense involved in making the trip.
One OF the subjects will be as to the
best means of securing the establish
ment of a national department of

sidered from time to time, but now

Reports from Butte indicate that ex-

hospitality, no less than for it's smelter
smoke. Both indicate wealth and prog
ress, and those who go there expecting
to find any thing except the busiest kind

their judgment.

tral figure in any obsequies has lost
interest in them long before they be-
gin. To deny suicide a decent burial
and a reasonable show of religious
form doesn't hurt the suicide a particle.
The primary object OF a funeral cere-
mony is to afford some consolation to
the stricken family and the circle of

il the plan suggested by Mr.. Lloyd
should be generally adopted. So. in
fairness to the guiltIess. as well as by
way Of showing a delicate regard for
their feelings, the bodies of suicides
should be decently inferred
1t is a well known tenet of the Cath
Ole church that no suicide can be
buried in consecrated ground, but the
Catholic church does not advocate in
dignities to the corpse. The same view
is taken by the Church of England.
1t is hardly probable that the num-
Der of suicides would decrease if the
Almighty's instructions in the case of
the suicide Jehoiakim, son of Josiah,
king of Judah, were always literally
carried out. He said: He shall be

DISCUSSING THE PREVALENCE

Rev. W. F. Lloyd, Methodist minis
ter of Louisville. suggests a startling.
novel method of cOunteracting the evil.
That is. ne seems to think it might
check the tendency to suicide, but most
people will be inclined to doubt its
efficacy. Badly stated. the Rev. Mr..
Lloyd would not only deny decent
burial TO suicides, but he would have
their bodies disfgured.
He said, in part: The case is a des-
perate one. and can only be reached
by unusual processes. 1 seriously ask.
should not some measure of indignity
DE shown the bodies OF suicides? Al
least to the extent OF denying them in
terment after the forms of religion and
the order and respect OF society. Should
those who have outlawed themselves
be given the courtesy and respect that
is paid to those who have not dishon-
ored their lives by extinguishing
them?r

BISHOP POTTER ON THE STRIKE.

Gently he has been undergoing a change
of heart He returned from a trip to
Europe recently, and was asked to give
his views on the anthracite strike. His
prompt response was:
The anthracite coal operators have
all along maintained false position.
They take the stand that they will not
deal with the organizations. but insist
on dealing with the men as individuals.
Now. this is all wrong. Any body Of
men whose interests are common have
the right to organize into an associa-
ton for mutual protection, and are en-
titled to recognition as an organization
in matters which affect their individual
and combined interests
Thus another weighty opinion is
placed in the balance against the oper-
ators. With very few exceptions the
newspapers VI the country anu the peo-
pie are on the side OF the strikers. Just
two prominent journals are arrayed
with the operators. They are the New
York sun and Harper's Weekly, both
Of which assign as a reason why the
strikers should return to work the fact
that New Workers are greatly annoyed
by the smoke caused by the use of BIZ
luminous coal. This is reason enough
for the Sun and Harper's Weekly, but
it is hardly convincing to the average

DEATH OF FRANZ sIGEL.

r ENERAL Franz Sigel, who died
" yesterday. is one OF the last of
the great fighters of the rebellion to
answer the rollcall Of death. All his life
was stormy: he was impatient of re-
straint. although rigid disciplinarian
himself. and to this Impotence alone
he owed his failure to secure the high
rank in history which his military abil-
fly would otherwise have earned.
Sigel was born in Bavaria on Nov.
IS. 1924; graduated from the Carlsruhe
military school. became a lieutenant of
infantry in the Bavarian army. but re-
signed IN 1s47 for political reasons. He
was minister OF war in the revolution
OF 1S4e, fought several battles against
the Prussiaus. lied to Switzerland on
the failure of the revolution. was forced
TO leave Switzerland and went TO Eng
land and from thence to the United
States.
He was a professor in a st. Louis
college and in 1861 was commissioned
colonel of the Third Missouri volun-
teers and from that time until his re-
tirement in 1866 was a foremost figure
among the fighting officers of the
Union army
In 1862 Sigel became involved in a
controversy with General Halleck and
rendered his resignation, but was sum-
moned to Washington and given a
commission as major general. After
his defeat by Breckenridge at New
market. in March, 1864, he was re-
lieved from command by General Hunt
er and saw no more active service, re-
signing in 1865. He was register in
New York in 1871 and was appointed
pension agent by Cleveland, serving
from 1885, to 1889.
Sigel was a belligerent character in
private life as well as in the field, but
his soldiers almost worshiped him
and had unlimited confidence in his
leadership. This devotion to the old
German was epitomized in a song in
dialect. the refrain of which was. 81
fight nit Sigel." and the verses were
almost as popular as any of the nu-
merous favcrftes based on incidents or
characters Of the war. While Sigel
does not rank with the greatest of the
generals, he did valiant service for his
adopted country, his bravery was OF
the old. heroic type and the men who
fought with him will long honor his
memory.
