MInnesOta christened by hIIps Daughter
Large Crowd Present.

New London, Conn, April 17.-In
the presence Of thousands of specta-
tors, including many visitors from
New York, Boston and other cities,
the steamship Minnesota. the largest
vessel ever built In this country and
the greatest cargo carrier in the
world, was launched yesterday at the
yards Of the Eastern ShipbuiIding
Company at GrotOn. The sponsor of
the mammoth ship was Miss Clara
Hill. daughter Of ]. j. Hill, president
OF the Great Northern Company, for
whom the vessel was built, to become
part Of the company'e Pacific and
Oriental carrying service.
As the last restraining link that
held the ship TO its place on the ways
was severed, Miss Hill broke q bottle
OF wine over the steel bow and named
the craft the Minnesota. After the
launching luncheon was served to the
guests Of the shipbuilding company in
the mold loft OF the yard.
Final preparations for the launching
OF the Minnesota were begun early Ia
the day at the yard OF the Eastern
Shipbuilding Company, In Groton, the
entire force being busted In knocking
away the heavy blocking and getting
every last detail In readiness for the
initial plunge OF the big ship into the
water. While the preliminary work
was going on thousands of people
from various vantage points watched
the labors Of the men and viewed the
immense proportions of the Minnesota
and her sister vessel, the Dakota.
which Is to be launched few months
hence.
Every trolley-car from Norwich. We
hicles from the suburban districts and
special trains on the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Road brought loads
of spectators, ana by IL o'clock the
streets bore the appearance of a uni
yersity boat race. The weather was
cloudy. A stiff northeast gale was
blowing, and the air was chilly enough
to make heavy coats desirable.

ter can imagine the horrid orgies they
might hold when fred with revenge aud
flushed with victory. Even the historian,
who deals only with stubborn facts, lays
down his pen In silent horror when he
finds himself In the midst OF Lebeau's
narrative OF what he saw In the Indian
village, aud bids his readers spare him
the recital.
White Hand crept back 10 his loige,
and Coqualla found him there pale and
faint She bathed his temples and brow,
and after while he revived, but be dar-
ed not venture out.
Alas, my companlonF" murmured the

"CoquallaT uttered the youth, starting
up. II was II mere interrogative.
MY father Il wounded, even unto
DEATH" And as the maiden thus spoke
she bowed her head and the big tears
triekled down between her fingers.

forgetting for the moment the deep terror
OF his own soul In the grief OF his COM
panion.
He received bullet In his bosom yes
terday. But he sent me for you. Come"
White Hand arose and followed Co
qualla from the lodge. In the center OF
the great square. before the temple, there
was a fire kindled, but the youth dared
not look towards It. He knew Its terri
bic purpose, and with quickened steps he
hurried, stopping his ears with his fingers
TO shut out the sounds that fell upon his
ears. But fortunately he had not far to
go. When he entered Stung Serpent's
dwelling. he found the women thefS cry
ing and yelling In despair. Upon his bed
OF bearskins lay Stung Serpent breathing
heavily. and ever and anon raising his
head to listen to the sounds that came
from the square. When his eyes rested
upon White Hand, he beckoned the youth
forward. at the same time bidding the
others stand back.
"Sit thee down by my side" he said,
"for have much to say to thee"
Quickly the youth sat down, for he
hoped he should now know some things
that were only his at present by suspi-
cion.

ONE WAY TO SMASH TRUSTS.

How Jupiter PIuvius Knocked owt a
Corner ia oIympian Nectar.
The boss of high Olympus looked up
from his cup with wry expression.
What's the matter, Jupe?" inquired
Juno, as she dipped into the ambrosia
platter.
ITS this nectar" replied the eminent
Olymplan. 1T amt up to the standard.
What's the matter with itT'
"In my opinion" said Juno, as she
took spoonful OF the honey of Hybla,
Its all the fault of the trust. They
have let the quality run down. And
at the same time they have raised the
price,"
Trust" cried Jupiter. "what trust
Is that2"
"The 0lympian Nectar trust" replied
Juno. II thought you knew all about
1t. Mercury is the president and gem
eral manager, and he and Apollo are
the board of directors. Mars wanted to
buy in, but they wouldn't let him. They
claimed he was too quarrelsome. They
gave Neptune 100 shares of preferred
on condition that he'd help them water
the stock. l thought you heard OF 1t
at the time"
Jupiter looked black, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, as he pushed away
from the table.
II hear of 1t now for the first time"
he growled, and the echoes of his growl
reverberated among the distant hills.
"And what's more. don't expect to
hear of It again. Syndicate my nectar,
viii they! Why, blame their pesky
hides, what do they mean by it2"
There, there, Jupie," said Juno, In
her most soothing tone, "don't get so
riled, The boys didn't know how vexed
you'd feel about It."
"Well, they'll soon find out! Haven't
they plant somewhere, or some
thing?"
"There 1t is, said the statuesque one,
as she pointed to lower terrace.
Jupiter grlmly smiled.
NC- Nph hANC W wait AOI uAH 0u-
preme Court decision in this case," he
remarked, as he stepped to the nearest
cupboard aud drew out what looked to
be half-dozen metallic skyrockets.
At sight of them Juno gave a little
scream and put her hands over her
ears. A moment later Jupiter stood
by the open window and drew back
his massive arm. There was blind
ing flash and startling report, and
the nectar plant on the terrace below
trembled to its base. Thunderbolt fol-
lowed thunderbolt, and when the sixth
was thrown there wasn't a vestige of
the building left.
"There," said Jupiter, as he wiped
his hands on his napkin and calmly re-
sImed his seat at the table, 81 fancy

CHAPTER XIX.

At an early hour the Great Sun and
Stung Serpent were astir, and when the
first rays of the morning sun darted into
the beautiful vale, they rested upon all
the warriors OF the Natchez there as
sembled. Such as had pistols carefully
loaded them, and hid them away with
their hunting knives in their bosoms.
Their tomahawks were sharpened and
slnng to their belts, and all took their
guns. Then each man Of the common
class went and got his bag of corn, and
having set 1t down, they commenced their
war dance. But they m6de not such hide
ous noise as usual-only enough to pro-
nitate the Great Spirit, and make him
acquainted with their intent.
1t was well in the morning when they
set out, and by the middle of the forenoon
they reached Natchez. They entered the
place dancing and singing, and straight.
way carried their corn to the fort. Then
the red men began to separate-some this
way and some that, Every house had
one or more visitors, according to the
number of people in 1t. Some begged for
milk, some asked to buy powder and shot
for which they promised to pay in corn
at some future day. A richly stored
barge lay at the pier which had come up
the day before, and on board this num-
Der Of Indians crowded. Into the fort
they crept by different ways, presenting
themselves wherever there was a white
man, until at length they were distribute
ed wherever there was blow to be
struck.
AT length a sort of solemn stiffness
relgned over the devoted town, as though
the death-angel had hushed all hearts.
But hark! What is that horrid yell that
comes from the fort--a yell that makes
the very blood freeze, and causes the
hair to stand on .end2 What are those
fearful cries-those maniac shouts-and
those despairing groans2
+ The general assassination of the
French took so little time that the execu-
tion of the deed and the preceding signals
were almost one and the same thing. One
single discharge closed the whole affair,
1t cost the Natchez only twelve men to
destroy two hundred and fifty, through
the fault Of the commanding officer, who
alone deserved the fate which was shar-
Gu " ATS uhAOHtHhule CuuipuliiOLSs
Some half dozen Frenchmen escaped,
as by a miracle, this general massacre,
and made their way to New Orleans in
safety. The women and children of the
whites were mostly saved to be kept as
prisoners.
OF course the Natchez supposed that
all the whites in the country were now
dead. Not one of them dreamed that
they had been deceived into striking
week too early. So they caroused in the
town all night, and on the next morning
they started for their village. They had
spared two men whom they retained as
prisoners, and who escaped from them
after having served them some weeks.
One was WAGNER, named Mayeux, who
was kept to transport the goods OF the
French to the Indian village; and the 9TH
er was tailor named Lebeau, whose SER
vices they wanted in fashioning the
French garments to their own use,

Fears for cIackamas County Fruit.

The heavy hail storm of last week
did considerable damage to fruit in
different sections of Clackamas coun-

in full bloom, and the entire blossom
being knocked off the trees. The
weather of the whole week has been
immoderately cold, and it is believed
that the fruit crop is badly damaged,
