afternoon to James Skein, who is in the
employ of John Van Orden. at Cedar Grove,
N. j. He took COW from his employers
barn and tied it to an electric light pole, while
he drove an iron stake into the ground.
He passed the chain around the pole,
which held lightning arrester and had a
wire running into the ground. The pole
was charged with electricity and Skein
received a shock which threw him about
seven feet. The COW was shocked at the
same time and jumped with such force
as to drag the chain from Skein's hand
This undoubtedly saved his life.
He was accompanied by a large bull
dog, and tho chain which held the dog
came in contact with that attached to
the COW, and the dog received a severe
shock.
When Skein got up he was almost crazy,
and it took the united efforts Of five men

IN MEMORY OF EMMA LAZARUS.
Friends Place q Memorial to the Poet ess
in the Liberty Statue PEDESTAL.


Yesterday was placed inside the pedesta
Of the Statue of Liberty on Bedloe's Island
near the entrance doorway, a bronze me-
mortal tablet, which bears the name of the
late Emma Lazarus, Of New York. and upon
which is inscribed her sonnet The New
Colossus written in 1883 and dedicated to
the statue.
A distinguished and gifted woman, Miss
Lazarus's early death, in 1887, was mourned
by a large circle Of friends, both in America
and England, among whom were numbered
Emerson and Browning. Her sympathy
with and exertions for the suffering people
Of her own race exiled from Russia in 1880
and 1881, her wider sympathy with all human
suffering and oppression seeking relief in
coming to our shores, and her faith in
American ideals and institutions, find
expression in this sonnet with exceptional
force and beauty. and give also a high
and ennobling significance TO this aspect Of
our civilization.

The governments latest crop report
indicates that the corn crop, this year,
will be fully 1900, 100000 bushels. Those
are stupendous figures and hard Tor
most of us to grasp. The great floods
in the West, last spring, made it look
as though there would be short crop
of the greatest grain staple, and then
the early fall furnished a series OF frost
scares, but in spite of these things the
government reports that the crop Will
be at least GO,oOO,O 900 bushels larger than
was indicated few weeks ago, will be
more than the country ever raised be-
fore, with the single exception OF last
wear. Thus merciful nature overcomes
the work of strike leaders and specula-
tors who try to wreck the national
prosperity, and blesses the land with
her generous bounty. Marvellous is
the miracle of the maize.

Russia has been discreet enough to al
low China to sign a new treaty with
the United States, providing for the
opening of new ports to Manchuria.
uncle Sam will have to keep his eyes
open to see that the object of this new

there will be no excuse for interference
In any contest between itself and ia
pan. And although Russia has been

Another result of the South African
