ONE OUT OF THE FoRTr.

St. Swithin didn't work in this region yesterday and there was a whole day without rain. But one pleasant day doesn't make a summer any more than one swallow does, so it will be well not to crow about the weather yet. While waiting for reason to crow we can con- graduate ourselves that we have not been rained on as the people in central and western Texas have been. There have been seven days of continuous rain there, and the almost incredible statement is made that the rainfall in one hour amounted to fourteen inches at places in Caldwell and Hays coun- ties. Much damage has been done and some lives have been lost.
 What more St. Swithin has in store for us remains to be seen. The forty days rule having already been broken perhaps it will not be thought neces- sary to have the rest of the forty days unvaryingly wet. The people would welcome some dry and warm days, and so would corn.

last feat was to kidnap the son Of a millionaire whom he released only on receiving a ransom of s2O,0OO. Then the Greek government took up the matter. A reward of s1,OO0 was offered for in- formation as to the bandits hiding place and another of S2.00O for his body dead or alive. A squadron of cavalry was sent into the district and sue ceeded in capturing Ranopulos while he was asleep. Ranopulos offered to point out the spot where he had buried his treasure, but when it was opened in his presence very little was found. upon which he declared that it must have been ransacked by some member of his band and in his despair he had to be forcibly withheld from throwing him. self over cliff.

1OUGH, IF TRUE,

People in New Haven who know and admire Lieutenant-Governor Timothy L. Woodruff of New York will be sur- prised when they read what his descent into politics has done for him. This is the way he is "arraigned" by the Re- publican committee of 100 of the Sixth assembly district in Brooklyn, which was organized to cooperate in the re- form movement in that borough: We charge Timothy L. Woodruff. the &C., credited leader of the party in Kings county, with placing his own ambitions nominating candidates at dinners at his own home so that the various con- ventions merely ratify the choices there made; with conniving and acquiescing with Dady in making Guden the party that the bill to give Brooklyn the con- trol of her own public school system SIlUulSl SIIblFCu HI tIlS lLtS1eSl uL ltlS Magistrates bill, which was unconstitu- tional, and that improper and uncon- stitutional legislation would have been impossible, unclean candidates would not have been nominated, and the many mistakes in party management would not have been made if he had properly used the authority vested in him. Woodruff, as the party leader in the county, is responsible for every wrong act which he allowed to be com- mitted and for every mistake which was made.
 This is tough if true, but perhaps the Lieutenant-G Governor will proceed to arraign his arraigners in way that will make them and their arraignment sick Arraigning is a game that two can play at.

How Product is Obtained in the Cobra
 do Desert.
 In the middle of the Colorado desert,
 little to the north of the Mexican
 border, and two hundred and sixty-four
 feet below the level of the sea, lies field of crystalized salt more than a
 thousand acres in extent, presenting
 surface as white as snow; and beneath
 the monday glare of the sun so dazzling that the naked eye cannot stand its ra- diance, it stretches away for miles and
 miles about SaIton. Col, an ocean of blazing, blistering white.
 Here daily throughout the year men are at work overturning the great de- posit with massive blows and scrapers, getting it into great piles preliminary toputtingit through the refining process. The salt blows used to secure the har- vest are great fOur-wheeled inple- 1 ments, driven by steam and managed by two men. The salt crust is thrown
 up in parallel ridges, then laborers with
 hoes work it to and fro in the water,
 washing out the dirt, preliminary to stacking it in mounds to be taken to the mill.
 Salt springs in adjacent foothills are constantly contributing to the deposit, and so heavily laden are they with al- J most pure salt that the blow has hardly passed on before new crust has formed in the furrow left. This fact renders it unnecessary to operate more than a small portion of the vast depos-
 it. At present only ten acres are worked
 As may be supposed, work in these fields is performed under the most try | ing conditions No white man can stand the intense heat, and for this reason the work is done wholly by | Japanese and by Coahulla Indians. Of these the Indians are by far the better adapted to the work, the Japanese per- | forming only one portion, sewing the | sacks in which the salt is shipped. The atmosphere, laden as it is with | particles of salt, gives rise to painful , thirst, and the only available drinking water comes from 8 single well. It is l warm and ill-tasting.

 The moonlight, too, produces wondrous- | ly beautiful effects upon the great field of gleaming salt. For several weeks in the year the thermometer on the salt ! field averages one hundred and forty l degrees, and the reflection of the sun | produces a glare like that from a fur nace The deposits very in thickness from ten to twenty inches, and form a solid crust over the great marsh.

E As an illustration of the crowded condition of the iron trade of this coun- try 1t is mentioned that a representa- tive of a large Philadelphia concern which deals in iron and steel has just returned from Europe, where he pur- chased large quantities of steel and iron for importation to this country. It is said that he placed orders for about fifty thousand tons. Another member of the same firm has gone to Europe to make further contracts and to arrange for the shipment of supplies already purchased.

g A representative of the Street Rail- way Journal who has been travelling over several of the inter-urban electric railroads of Massachusetts has written 8 criticism of the roads and methods of operation which will doubtless be in- dorsed by passengers In several Io- calities rail joints were in bad con- dition; long stretches of track were described as being as bad as anything ever encountered in a lumber camp. Single-truck cars were used where only double-truck cars meet the reouire- Hments of high speed, and the incessant jolting and lurching of the single trucks does not appeal to people who ride for pleasure. Incessant collection of fares was pronounced another drawback to riding in peace;;" instead of being per- rnitted to enjoy the beautiful country scenery passengers were annoyed every three or four miles by requests for five cents, thus creating an impression that the company's speciality was mulcting its patrons.

Louisiana has new idea in regard to "Jim Crow' cars. A recently passed law provides that there shall be separ- ate but equal accommodations for whites and blacks, anu the street-car companies have introduced car with wire screen separating it in the middle, the forward compartment being set apart for white persons and the rear compartment for colored persons. The negroes protest against this arrange ment and talk of raising money to buy cars for the use of their own race. They also threaten to boycott the screened cars. It is suggested that the division between the two parts of the car should be a solid partition, not wire screen. so that all view would be cut off from one compartment to the other, and the negro passengers would not feel as if they were in cage.

Plans are under consideration for placing "isles of safety" at the crowded intersections of Fourteenth street and Broadway, Twenty-third street and Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street and Broadway. The plan calls for the building of an isle in the form of an ellipse, sixty feet long and thirty-five feet wide, with four ornamental lamps and with stairway leading to an un- derground public comfort station. It is possible that subways may be built to connect the isles at the more fre- auented centers of traffic with the side walks. Such isles are much needed.

 heard one of the best Mckinley stories the other day that I ever list ened to. When the late President and party went West not many months be- fore he was shot Mrs Mckinley, 1t will be remembered, went too. While talking with Mir. Scott one day. the man whose firm built the Oregon. Mrs. Mckinley said; "oh. do you play cribbage, MT. Scott"
 "Yes." was the great shipbulder's an- swer.
 Well, so do l." said Mrs. Mckinley. 'I wish you would play a game with me" :"
 T should be delighted to do so,' was the reply.
 Later. as President Mckinley and MT. Scott were looking over the latter's biz plant, Mrs. Mckinley not being present. the President said: "Oh by the way. Mir. Scott. didn't I hear you and Mrs Me kinley arranging to play cribbage some time?"
 Well what kind of a player are youo" asked the President
 Later, as President Mckinley and Mir.
 "oh, pretty fair; I guess; I play a
 well. so do l." said Mir. Mckinley. But. do you know. It may seem strange, but it is fact, that I have never been able to play well enough to beat Mrs. Mckinley" As he said this he looked at MT Scot with significant smile. Their eyes met. It was enough MT. Scott understood, and it was safe to say that he did not beat Mrs. Mckinley.
 I doubt if a better illustration of Mir. McKinley's constant consideration for the comfort and pleasure of his invalid wife could be found.

 The doctor. after due consultation. pre- scribcd for her a glass of claret three times a day with her meals. The mother was somewhat deaf, but apparently heard all he said, and bore off her daughter, determined to carry out the prescription to the letter.
 In two weeks she was back with the girl, who was rosy checked. smiling and the picture of health.
 The doctor naturally congratulated him self on his skill, and said cordially: T am glad to see your daughter is so much better"
