Anc1enr Chnriatera

One of the most remarkable clubs ot modern times has its headquarters in Alameda, Cal. It is known as the "Old Mems Singing club" no one being q. mitted to it who has not the gift of song and who has not passed at leas his sixty-first birthday The club has 101 members, with an aggre gate age of 6,666 years. The only woman artist was the Sonora Benina Barone. aged 103 years, who danced and sang sIa Tolla." This old Spanish woman was born in Mexico in 179s; she danced in the Spanish city of Mexico while in the first blush of maidenhood, and the pie turesque cavaliers of those times pelt4 ed her with roses. To the tink.ing &C., compartment of guitar they sanp love songs underneath her window. Those, she says, were merry days. The weary feet, which at their owners re. quest danced once more in order that a few extra dollars might be added to the fund for the poor, were as light as in bygone days, and if the aged voice quavered no one noticed it.-The Strand.

TeH-year-oId Lad Arrested In Chica-
 go Confesses.
 CHICAGO, April 14.-Charles Piedze, a lad of Lithuanian birth, scarcely ten years old, has been arrested, charged with having started the many fires that have terrorized South Chicago during the past few days.
 The boy at first denied all knowledge of the origin of the fires, but after six hours Of sweating" process by the po- lice he admitted that he had started four of the principal blazes which have threatened the most valuable property in South Chicago, but he insisted that he knew nothing of the other fires. He said he liked to see the engines run and the firemen at work.
 Fifteen fires have occurred since Thursday night, entailing total loss of $50,000 and rendering homeless if teen families and as many boarders. The streets were patrolled during the night by anxious citizens, and the boy was caught by fireman under cir cumstances that left little doubt of his guilt in setting a fire that had just been started.
 From his contradictory statements the police believe that he is responsible for other fires than those he has ad mitted so far.

Professor Campbell has devised the first furnace in which the factors of time and temperature can be absolute ly controlled and his test will cover all complications of clay and mart. Pro- lessor Campbell is said to be the first to take up the research work on this absolutely scientific plan.

Mir Pronovost has had the disease for the past two weeks end was nursed by his wife, who also put hand in the store and market. It is said that she was out shopping shortly before the house was quaran- tined, so that probably more people were exposed in this case than in any other that has yet colne 70 light. Just what will come Of it is something no one can tell at this time, nor will it be known for two or three weeks, so that all who were exposed will be on the anxious seat.

 ing in Denver.


 Denver, Col, April 14.-A special to the News from Colorado Springs says:
 A syndicate of capitalists whose agents are now in this city is quietly engaged in buying up all the available farms between Colorado Springs and Monument, with the intention of turn ing the surrounding region into an inn mense sugar beet plantation, compris- ing approximately 15,000 acres. This information was given by one who is assisting in conducting the negotia- lions, and may be considered as reli- able.
 The strip of territory that could be used in the cultivation of beets is about 20 miles in length and varies from half mile to two miles In width. The soil is rich, arable and believed to be well suited for the cultivation of the sugar beet. Should the deal be carried to a successful completion it will mean the erection of beet sugar factories in Colorado Springs.

Australia's Long Drought.
From the London Speaker.


The pastoral situation in Australia is rapidly
becoming desperate. Drought upon drought
during the last eight years has spelt ruin to
thousands upon thousands of able and ener-
getic men engaged in the sheep and cattle in
dustry. The number of sheep during the last
decade has dwinded to the extent of one
third-viz., from over 120,000,000 to under
so, 600, 900. The losses of cattle are quite as
great in proportion. There are many stations
In Queensland where the number of cattle de-
pastnred has fallen from $4,000 head or more
to less than 1000.
Droughts have been felt before, but the
present is the widest spread ever known. Not
to mention West Australia, which at the best
is always in state of semi drought, the whole
country from the western boundary of South
Australia, right across the northern portion of
Victoria, together viii most of New South
Wales and Queensland, is in a pitiable condi-
ton. Over scores of thousands ofsquare miles
the Landing must be failure, and enormous
further losses of grown sheep are now certain.
Owing to these continuous droughts the pres
ent clip of wool is the worst on record, but the
next will be much worse.
