EULOGY FROM
 MOUNTAIN ECHO.

On last Tuesday morning the word was passed from one to an- other that Uncle Mack was gone, referring to c. F. McDonough, the blind tiger who recently re- ceived a pardon. In his hurried departure he forgot to settle a little bill with the Echo which was contracted sometime since. but then as he is classed with the individual to whom an account was presented a few days since, and who promptly replied, if we 'got it we would have to take it out of his hide," we guess we will lose it, for we have examined the quotations on skunk and dog hides and find they are not worth the skinning, and for the present we will let them go, and it al most makes our heart bleed to think that when such worthless fellows shuff1e off this mo,'tal coil that no flowers will bloom above their grave, for there will be no loving companion to water them with her affectionate tears.

800 PASSENGERS
 WENT DOWN
In Sight of Thousands Boat Sinks And No One Offers Aid Tourists Have Thrilling
 Experience.

The spectacle of half a thou sand men, women and children voluntarily boarding boat they know is going to sink, ttfii.kses us as sufficiently novel to chronicle in these columns. It happened on the Pike and in front of one of the mammoth structures on that highway. In the lobby of this building known as Under and Over the Sea-, concession, is a miniature harbor of real water. The exact depth of this little ocean we cannot say positively, but we can testify to what we saw with our own eyes on a recent visit to the Worlds Fair.
 In plain view of strollers on the Pike may be seen in this miniature harbor a submarine boat moored to dock with it's hatchway open and passengers going aboard. The writer counted no less than 500 reckless human beings seeking the sensation to be found in submarine naviga- tion. When they were all aboard the captain commanded the sailors on the dock to unfasten the ropes that held the vessel, and himself going below, the hatchway was closed and sealed dramatically, absolutely water tight. The boat then sank from sight in the great tank of water and a submarine journey to Paris was commenced. On reaching a
 srtain great depth of the water, ,s,ndicated by one of the ships s instruments of measurement, the propellers were set III motion by slight pressure of the electric button. The entire motive force employed in the queer craft used in the journey Under and Over the Sea" is electrical.
 The huge steel hull trembled, the great, mighty engine throbbed, the powerful propellers churned the waters into a foam ing fury and the boat darted forward through the transparent watery mass.
 Passing through several Pari- sian tho1bughfares to the base of Eifel Tower, ascending to it's summit in a large elevator, we board the great bird-like craft restlessly tugging at it's moor ings, anxious for it's flight along the milky way, and all aboard, the ship cast adrift and our aerial journey has commenced. Reaching the river at Eads bridge, over the city of St. Louis, lowering above the exposition, the movement of the great wings decreasing, the ship carefully settles down on top\of the "Un- der and Over the Sea" building, the landing dock of the air-ship on the Pike.

faith, has failed to bring health to

says;
'She has been suffering from physical

YOUNG LIEUTENANT
WAS KNOCKED OUT
President Roosevelt Proves His Ability
With the Gloves in Rafting
Encounter With Lieut.
Fortescue.

Washington, Nov rs. President
Roosevelt and his cousin by marriage,
Lieutenant Granville r. Forteseue, U.
s. A., put on the gloves in the White
House last Wednesday and in due sea
son Lieutenant Fortesque was lying on
the floor.
President Roosevelt's fancy has again
turned TO thoughts Of boxing, and he re.
ioiees III stiff three rounds with five
ounce gloves.
Lieutenant Fortescue, who was cor
poral IN the Rough Riders, is Of good
physique, about the Presidents height
ana reach. but considerably lighter and
quicker on his feet. He belongs to the
Tenth cavalry, but is now on special
dnty at the White House. He recently
returned from a trip to the Far East.
He coached the President 50 thoroughly
on Japan that Prince Fushimi was amaz-
ed and gratifiedat the Presidents knowl-
edge Of the chrysanthemum empire.
When the President and Lieutenant
Fortescue squared Off the younger man
started to cut out hot pace. His
leads were swift and straight and some
times effective, but the President, dog
gedly standing his ground against the
| heufenant's rilshes, sent in heavy coun-
tiers. They mixed it up all over the
room and wound up in slap-bang fash
| ion. The honors were with the Presi-
dent.
All the details Of the battle are not
available, but il is known the next
round was fast, the President carefully
watching his adversary.
Finally the President got 70 him.
He sent a couple Of hot blows 20 the
lieutenants head, and cut loose Awith
another one. 1t was all over for the
lieutenant. Whether he was entirely
knocked ont and unconscious cannot be
/ learned, but the mill ended with a good
hard blow landed by the President On
the Lieutenant's jaw
Lieutenant Forteseue showed the
tmarks of punishment the next day, but
they were slight, and neither painfnl nor

Garfield Making a Systematic
Investigation.
HE INCLUDES ALL STAGES
Leading Up to Distribution = Has No
Bearing on the Cases Now Pending
These VIII Be Heard
in December.

Washington, Nov. 2s.--It is reported
here that Commissioner of Corporations
Garfield, who is now on short hunting
trip, will start for Chicago in few
days TO complete the investigation Of
the beef trust, ordered by Congress. He
has been proceeding Systematically for
many months, and includes all stages
Of the operation from the grazing lands,
through the freight rates, to the packing
houses and the methods Of retail dis
tribution It is assumed that certain
questions have accumulated, the ans
wers to which special agents could not
get, and these it is proposed to have
the commissioner himself submit to the
packers directly Should they decline
TO answer, this will afford a test of the
extent Of the powers Of inquiry granted
TO the Bureau Of Corporations. The re.
suit Of this inquiry, when summarized,
will have no bearing upon the beef
trust eases now before the Supreme
Court, unless they should show that
the pdcktls were uASitgti uAtH AMe III
junction now pending, and SO furnish
evidence by which they could be brought
up for contempt.
The beef cases win be heard in De
cember, in regular order. The view
which many people held some months
ago, that the packers would not make
further efforts to dissolve the injunction,
has now been abandoned They have
had the records printed and are appar
emily ready TO proceed in dead earnest.
The great issue is whether the combi-
nation, which they are alleged to have
entered into, restrains interstate com
merce The petition sets forth facts
tending to show that a combi-
nation exists and restraints trade, but
the real question remaining IS whether
it restraints interstate trade and this viii

Appeal 70 Congress.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2s.-The
yrnmans Christian Temperance Union.
mainly through whose efforts Congress
was induced to sholish the canteen from
the army, has strong opponent IN the
Womans Army and Navy League. an
organization composed largely Of wives,
widows and daughters of officers Of the
regular army and navy. Mrs Kelton,
the widow Of Gen. John c. Keiton, Is
president Of the Washington branch.
The woman's league las resolved to
make an appeal to Congress for the
restoration Of the canteen. In a pre-
amble to resolution recently adopted
il is declared that the abolition of the
canteen was secured through misap-
piled zeal and lack Of appreciation and
understanding as to the reason why can
teens or post exchanges were originally
established at army posts, as well as
misconception Of the manner Of con-
Quoting the sales Of beer"
Il is further declared in the preamble
that three years test forbidding the
sale Of beer or light wines on any gov
eminent reservation has proved detri-
mental rather than beneficial 10 the en-
listed men,
It is therefore resolved that the
women Of the Woman's Army and Navy
League, whose object has been for II
years to work for the general welfare,
contentment and amusement Of our sol
diers and sailors, shall present at the
next session of Congress petition urg-
ing that the canteen or post exchange
,vifh tho aarua conditions rs to re.
striction Of the sale of beer and light
wines as existed prior to Feb. 2, 1901
be restored at an early date.
