sAuLr STE. MARIE TROUT.
There Are Some Giants That May Re Caught Only in the Early
 Spring.

In the early spring suckers in inn mense schools run up from St. Mary's river, between Lakes Superior and Huron, into the small streams that come in on both sides of the river, and there deposit their spawn. They are followed by brook trout in droves, and among them are specimens larger than can be found anywhere else in the northwest, says the New York Sun.
 These trout are after the sucker spawn, and leave the upper waters of the streams when the spawning of those fish is over. While following the suckers they furnish rare sport to the angler, and catches with five and six pounders among them have been made.
 By the end of May the trout have re- turned to the deep pools and to the St. Mary's river, and the large ones will not rise to the fly again during the sea- son. Now and then big one will be tempted by an attractive minnow on the hook, and a small white troll, with out feathers on it, often proves good killer to them. The smaller trout, however, continue to give excellent sport to the angler all through the season.

Queen Isabella gave to Plus TX. This crown cost $6O, 1000, and its three coronets are exactly alike. It is perfect dazzling mass, as 18,000 bril- 1iants and 19 precious stones and sapphires cover the cupola.
 The present pope received his first gift of tiara in 1888, on the occa- sion of his episcopal golden jubilee. It came from Paris and was of a composite character, meant to typi- fy Purity. Chastity and Power, and to which were gradually added two coronets, to indicate the prerogatives of spiritual and temporal power, combined in the papacy, while third was afterward added to symbolic the Trinity, as well as the suprem- acy cf the pontif on the three parts of the world, and his triple title of Father, Prince and King of his people"
 . Only last February the whole Cath ollie world united in giving to Leo XIII. his latest addition to the gor- geous crowns which are but small part of the great wealth of the vati- S0As AU WG1p SAVSA dS c1A OAPTCSSlOu of joy on the occasion of his jubilee celebration. The work is most elab- crate, being wrought in silver, and was executed by a Bolognese artist, Augusto Mi1ani.
 The tiara consits of thin pieces or leaflets of silver. Its form is ovoid, surmounted by 8 cross, which rests upon a diminutive globe represent ing the world, which, in it's turn, rests upon 9 small hollow cap, which Is perforated with starlike holes, so as to resemble a zone of the firma- ment. The silver ovoid is divided into three sections by three golden crowns placed one above the other: and between are woven olive branches laden with berries. Milani has, with cunning skill, ornamented the tiari with light and rich bas-re1ief car- touches interlaced with olive twigs. Of the medalhons between the car touches, three represent the three popes who have occupied the papal chair for the longest periods, viz: St. Peter, Plus TX. and Leo XIII. Two of the medallions also contain the dates and dedications, while the third presents the figure of an angel. The three crowns arranged one above the other are executed in full relief and maintain the hera1dic char acter of the tiara, being further or namented with gaElands of flowers and foliage, while in the respective bands of each are engraved the fol- lowing notices:
 Maximus interris Divine Tnre Sacerdos, Nescivs Errandi Fidei Morvrnqve magister, Omne Regis Christi Pastorum Pastor Ovile.
 The weight of the tiara is one kilo and its cost is estimated at $24,Qoo.

sells are each $50 feet long and have a gross tonnage of about 21, 900 tons, and an extreme load displacement of about 8s,00O tons. The amount of steel which will be put into these ships will aggre- gate 2s, 900 tons. Each vessel will have cellular or double bottom extending the whole length of the ship, sodivide6 into compartments that the sinking of the ship is an impossibility, and these compartments can be used tobal- last the ship by filling with water, or they can be used to- carry an extra supply of fresh water for the boilers.
 Five continuous decks run from stem to stern, giving over five acres of space for the carrying of freight. Each ship can carry over 900, ,Ooo bushels of wheat. And that you may more clearly under stand what these figures mean, let us load on freight cars this cargo of grain. Putting 10000 pounds on each car of 36-foot length it would take a train nearly seven miles long. To transport a full mixed cargo for one of these vessels would require fully 2,5O0 ordinary railway freight and pas senger cars, or 125 trains of 20 cars each. Two hundred thousand barrels of flour, which, if placed end to end, would cover distance of 1so miles, could be slowed away upon the decks of each of these ships. Tn fact, they will carry double the cargo of any ocean steamer in existence, and six times as much as any ship wplowing the waters of the Pacific.
 These vast cargoes will be handled entirely by ss electric winces of the most improved type. Tn fact, these vessels are the only vessels that handle their cargo by electric power, and it is interesting to note that all auxiliaries in these vessels including practically

Captain Watts of the Thomas says the battle ship struck his schoon- CT a glancing blow on the starboard side abreast the main mast, tearing off the main chain plates. carrying away rails and damaging some plankfng about the hull, causing her to leak about two inches per hour. The cap tain says the weather was clear, and he could see four miles away. His vessel, having fair wind, kept clear course, thinking the battle ship, which was headed out the bay, would give them clear way Immediately after the colli- sion the Massachusetts put about and followed the schooner into the bay in case she might need assistance, but Captain Watts decided that it was un- necessary.

 NEW YORK, June 22. Frederick Muck, also known as Ben Crawford, a negro foreman of gang of laborers working on the estate of Howard Gould, near Sands Point, on Long Is- land, quarreled with two other colored men, Samuel Thompson and John Diel, in Port Washington. A fight ensued, in which Muck was worsted. Muck went away vowing vengeance, and an hour later he appeared armed with a pistol at Thompson's home. He fired at Thompson, but missed him, and then shot Diel in the leg. Pursuing ThomD- son into the house, Muck came up with him and shot him twice, once through the right lung and once in the side, tAe first wound being likely to prove fatal. Thompson's wife grappIed with the maddened negro and saved the wound ed man from further injary. Muck then fled to the woodS and has not been arrested.

Again disquieting rumors from Rome turn the attention of the world toward the vatican. The latest report has 1t that a small abscess has been opened under the pope's arm. but the wonderful vitality of the aged head of the Catholic church is said to have carried him through the ordeal, and he will continue to direct the activities of the church. militant. If the Heavenly coronets , surpass in beauty and wealth of jew els and delicaoy of workmanship the two tiaras which now repose in the papal treasury, certain it is that they must be surpassingly rich. Be- given to Pope Leo XIII, there are three others of immense value and rare beauty which are in the pos session of the vatican, One was pre- sented to Plus VI. by Napoleon, one to Julius IT., and third given to Plus TX. by Isabella of Spain in 1S55.
 i The most valuable of these five crowns is the one presented by Ma poleon to Plus VT. When originally given it was valued at $44,80o, but since then marvellous emerald of 440 carats, one of the finest in the world, worth $6oo,ooo, which origi- nally was added to the tiara of Julius 1T. by Gregory XIII, has been placed in the center of the eight rubies and e4 pearls, and sparlkles in dazzling brilhancy.

Electric Current Fails to XIII Ynrsi-
 man Lyons.
 NEW YORK, June 22.-Persons loit- ering near the yards of the "L' road at One Hundred and Fifty-ffth street watching the making up of trains were amazed to see a short, active man who stepped from rail to rail stand at times with one foot on the third rail and the other foot on the running rail near it. Many onlookers gasped, expecting to see him topple over killed by the heavy current of electricity they supposed was coursing through hiR body. But he did not fall He stood there as long as he wished and then stepped off none the worse for the experience.
 He was Alexander Lyons, a car cou- pIer He is the wonder not only of the yard, but also of all electricians who visit it, for he seemingly is impervious to the effects of electricity. Lyons is about thfrty-ive and has been in the yard fifteen years. He was fixture in the yard long before the third rail was thought of.
 When it came Lyons, in common with the other men employed in the yard, at first was exceedingly cautious not to tempt fate by stepping upon it, but in week his colaborers were as- founded to see him stepping on and of the third rail without any more regard for 1t than he had for the unchanged rails. They warned him of the danger. To show his contempt for the current he would put one foot on the third rail and the other on the running rail and would invite them to follow his exam 1 pie if they dared Fortunately for them they did not accept the challenge.

 WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 22.- When the conciliation board meets in this city on Thursday the operators will have grievances to be adjusted as well as the miners, and this will be surprise to many of the latter, who be- Heved that the coal companies had nothing to complain of. The operators will take exception to the many petty strikes, which are the cause of much inconvenience and annoyance; also that the nonunion men are being interfered with and that the coal output is less ened by the practice of employees re maintns at home on certain days with put permission.
 The miners will offset tbis with the charge of digcrtnainatton, that some of the men active in the strike have not been given work since, that the award of the commission has been violated by change in the condition of mining at many places which does not permit the miners to make as much now as before the strike and that the operators have broken an old custom in the Schuylkill region by having the men work an hour longer on Saturday,. Among other inn portant questions which the miners want settled will be the reduction of yardage, check weighmen, hours of la- Dor for drivers and company hands.
