ATTEMPT TO LYNCH DETEorIvE
Wrath in Pennsyivants Town over His
 Discovery of Theffs.

| 5
 Scranton, Pa. July 26.-An attempt to lynch John Peel, Delaware. Lack awanna and Western company detect i've, was made last night at Foster by crowd of villagers who were infuri- ated upon learning that he had gained evidence which would convict a score of families of the vicinity with whole sale thievery of brass and other junk from the companys property. Peel was attacked at a hotel while waiting for train. When the mob made it's att tack with cries of Lynch himln the de- tective drew his revolver and began pulling the trigger, but there was some thing wrong with the mechanism of the hammer and the revolver would not ex- plode.
 Peel gained the waiting room while the mob was shirking before his levelled revolver and he locked himself in it. Word was telegraphed to this city and force of twent y-f1ve officers was hast fly recruited to be sent to the detect iye's rescue. In the meantime a pas senger train arrived, and, acting under telegraphic orders from this city, the crew quit the train and after a hard fight succeeded in getting the detective on the train.
 The ringleader of the mob is said to be one of the leading citizens of the town, and it is alleged that because the detective had gained evidence in con nection with the thieving which woule disgrace him and his son forever he gathered the mob and led them in the murderous attack.

KEARsARGE ARRIVEs.
Very sati.fsotory Ran Across Atlantic
 Under All Boilers.

!. Bar Harbor. Me. July 26.-The Unit ed States battleship Kearsarge arrived at Bar Harbor at 5:42 this afternoon and dropped anchor in the upper har- bor at 6:1s. All day the short path had been thronged with people, anxiously, watching the eastern horizon for the first glimpse of the famous ship, but it was not until o'clock that her inn mense hull appeared out of the mist ill the east. Coming at full speed, the ship entered the harbor and passed the other ships of the squadron at anchor then proceeding to the upper harbor, where the battleship Illinois with Ad- Iniral Barker on board was anchored.
 Washington, July 26.- great deal of interest was taken by naval officers in Washington in the run of the Rear sarge from Portsmouth to Frenchman's $ Bay. It was estimated before the ves- sel left England, that with good wealth CT she would make the run across the QCSdn Wllllll1 slGll ucyo duQs kAlS plculC- ton has been verified. Estimating that she travelled about 5000 miles, the speed of the Kearsarge would average approximately between 1S 1-10 and 13 If knots per hour
 While the run the vessel just made is not at all remarkable, yet it is very sat isfactory for heavy battleship and in. dicates the engines were in good con dition.
 Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau q navigation. speaking about the voyage tonight. said:
 This was no test of maximum speed possible but only test of the usua running under all boilers. It is GUS tomary in ordinary cruising to use only about two-thirds or three-fourths of tht l full boiler power of the ship. All tn, boilers are used with, it is desired t make a better speed and sustain it fol a long period while for short periods O excessive speed forced draft on tn, boilers is used This Is done, however only for short periods because tn, strain on the boilers and on the endur ance of the firemen is very great

1901 has grown to more than 8O,OOO,-
900 in 1908. The beginning of the en-
largement in area in the century
dates from the annexation of Louis
lana, which was two years in the fu-
ture when Jefferson made his fore
cast, and which he was not looking
for as possibility. That acquisition
was directly the cause of all the en-

sons for the immense increase in pop
ulation.

TOO TRUsTFUL.
Described His Lost spcctacles Toe
Accurately for the Reward
offered.

A great many stories are told of the late
Thomas Bracket Reed, many of which,
doubtless, are clever inventions, but the fol-
lowing, related by friend Of the deat
statesman, sounds enough like him to be
true, says Youths Companion.
The friend, while travelling in sleeping
car, had been careless enough to leave his
gold framed spectacles lying for few mo-
ments on. shelf in the wash-room, and
when he went to look for them they were
gone. He Immediately put up written mo-
tice in two or three places, describing the
spectacles and offering a reward of one dol
lar tor their recovery, but to no purpose.
He never saw them again.
He related the incident one day to Mr..
Reed
When you described the spectacles and
offered dollar to the finder" asked the.fat-
ter, in his accustomed drawl, "were you
careful to say they were gold!"
Certainly"
"Well, that's the reason you didn't get
them" reioined Mr. Reed. '"The millen-
niun hasn't come yet"

SURPASSED IMAGINATION.
Growth Of the United States In One
Hundred Years Greater Than Pic
tured by Widest Dream.

In his first inaugural address
Thomas Jefferson felicitated his coun-
trymen on possessing a chosen
country with room enough for our
descendants to the thousandth and
thousandth generation" That was
the judgment. passed on March 4,
1901, by one of the most prescient of
Americans. On that day the coun-
try's western border was the Missis-
sippi. It's southern boundary was lat
itude 81 degrees. The region west
of the Mississippi, the province of
Louisiana, had just been ceded by
Spain to France by the treaty of San
lldefonso, but that compact was not
executed until two years later.
Spain held that territory. Spain
also held the territory east of the
Mississippi below the thirty-first par
allel. That region. comprising the
present state of Florida, the south
ern ends of Alabama and Mississippi
and the eastern projection of the
present state of Louisiana was
known as East and West Florida.
The area of the United States at that
date was $4,000 square miles. It's
population was in the neighborhood
of 100000, all but about 100000 of
which was east of the main divide of
the Alleghanies.
A country little over three and a
half times as large as the one Jeffer-
son had in view when he uttered that
prophecy 1o2 years ago. counting
only the contiguous portion of the
nation of to-day, has since been fair
