WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
Some of Their Famous Feats of Phys.
 fca1 Endurance.

fca1 Endurance.
 One of the finest achievements of q war correspondent was that of Holt White, a representative of the New York Tribune. in the Prussian war. He witnessed the battle of Sedan from the Prussian headquarters on Thursday, Sept. 1. 1870. At it's concIu- sion he rode to Brussels, but there the postoffice authorities refused to trans init his dispatch to London and even threatened to arrest him for saying that the French had been defeated. He then went on to Calais. crossed to Do yer by special steamer and took a spe- cial train to London, where he arrived at o'clock on Saturday morning Next day there was q description of the bat tie six columns long in the Tribune. It was not till Tuesday that the London newspapers had accounts of the con- dict from their correspondents.
 But the most famous deed of physic- al endurance in the race for news be- tween war correspondents was told of Archibald Forbes. In the Servian war of 1876 Semlin, the nearest telegraph station, was 120 miles distant from the scene of the battle. So soon as Forbes knew the result he rode off. and all night long he kept at a gallop. chang ing horses every fifteen miles. At Sem lin he had one long drink of beer and then at once sat down to the task of writing. hour after hour, against time. the tidings of which he was the bearer. After he had written the story of the battle and put 1t on the wires he lay down in his clothes and slept twenty hours without waking. He had wit messed the battle, which lasted six hours; ridden 12O miles and written and dispatched telegraphic message four columns in length to the Daily News, all in the space of thirty hours

Mice Sing Like CanarHea-

A resident of London writes as fol lows about singing mice: We had never heard of their existence until we arrived from the continent and went into lodgings in an old house just off Oxford circus. The first night we were awakened by loud singing. as of a number of birds, and our first i'm pression was that some one kept night ingales in cages. The next morning the landlady informed us they were singing mice we had heard. When we clapped our hands we could hear the mice running away in the walls. and when all was still they began their concert It was not squeaking or chirp- ing, but sustained singing. as of cana rfes in a cage"

Pumice From Russia.

The mineral wealth of Russia is
hardly appreciated, and new Industries
are from time to time being develop
ed, though the effect of the present war
may be felt in many new schemes,
says Harper's Weekly. A recent prop
osition is the development of the
pumice stone, which has been found
in the provinces of Erivan and Kars,
in Transcaucasia. The deposits in
Kars, at Malayakutma, are near the
surface in horizontal strata and occa-
siOnally run over two and a half feet
thick, furnishing a high grade mineral
that is used for polishing and poorer
quality from which hydraulic cement
can be made. The material is con-
venient to Kars, from which place 1t
will be shipped by rail to Poti, on the
Black sea, and thence conveyed by
steamer to Odessa. When the works
are operating to their full capacity
several million pounds year of the
material will be produced. The worlds
supply of pumice is now largely deriv-
ed from the Lipari islands, near Sicily.

VlADlVOSTOK FLEET.
Details of Ships In tussin's Flying
Squadron.

First Among Russia's still untouched
resources aust he reckoned the Nladl-
vostok flying squadron. of which we
have heard so much, says Charles
Johnston in Harpers Weekly.
The biggest ship in the EladivOstok
squadron is tie GrOmODOi, Of 1856
tons displacement. and therefore heaV-
Ter by 2.!OO tons than the heaviest
cruiser in the Japanese fleet. and out
stripping our own heaviest cruiser by
an even greater amount. She has a
primary battery of four eiSht-lnch
quick firing guns in armO" classmates.
supported by sixteen SiX-inch quick
firing gums and no less that forty eight
of lesser CALLER. with five torpedo
tubes. This big ship can do twenty
knots and is exceeded in weight by
only four cruisers in the British navy,
there being nothing else of her class to
equal her elsewhere in the naVies Of
the world.
Second in the Vladivostok squadron
comes the ROS:5ia, launched three years
earlier and within 200 tons Of the same
placement She has also four eight
inch and sixteen siX-inch quick firing
guns and fOrty-eght of lesser caliDer.
She has Il belt Of armOr five to eight
inches thick, but her batteries are not
so well guarded as those of her bigger
sister. She can also do about twenty
! knots, which would take her across
| the Atlantic in about six days. This
| ship has six torpedo tubes. OF less
| speed is tie EUrik, Cisplacing 1l,0OO
! tons, or about 300 more than Japan :
best cruiser. She has a similar arma-
mcnt, though not quite SO extensive
| and only four torpedo tubes.
Add the i>o@atyr, built in Germany
a much LIGHTER Let also much faster
! ship, doing twenty three knots, and
| thus able to keep up with the fastest
ocean greyhound. She displaces G.oW
I tons and has twelve siX-inch quick fir
| ing guns and eighteen Of less weight
This new and rapid ship will doubtless
scout for the squadron, and there are
only four Japanese ships. all cruisers
Of less tonnage, that could keep uI
with her. The work Of this Fladivos
toK squadron will be to attempt to pre-
vent Japan landing troops anywhere
| on the outer coast of Korea.

ENTERPRISE and one to be classed
with the bad advertising.
The meeting last evening was most
harmonious. Sixty-fve firms were
represented out Of the one hundred
and seventeen now in tie associa-
ton and all expressed a desire: G)
that there shuld be no fractional quar-
rels among themselves; (2) that the
association should present a strong
front in its present fight; (3) that
there should be no internal dissen-
sions, as these would weaken the gen
eral strength Of the association and
cause its efforts to be Of little avail.
Talks were made by Sharon Jones
G. II. Knollenber.,, Freeman Haisiey.
Bennett Gordon, Joe Nicholson and
others on the benefits that would ac-
crue to the merchants from the as

ing and will do, on the need of it
and on several other similar lines of
thought. The good results Of the
fight are even this early becoming APP

merchants feel that their efforts
against injudicious advertising and
trading stamps will be successful.

CITY OF BENEVOLENCES.
Title Bestowed Chicago by DIR.
PearsOns, College RenefactOr.


PearsOns, College BenefactOr.
Chicago is the City of Beneyolences,
according to DR.. ID. X. Pearsons, who,
having given somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,OOO,OOO to small colleges
in the last few years, has qualifications
as an authority, says the Chicago Post.
DR.. PearsOnS recently sent $4,000 to
a California school to keep his part Of
an agreement to raise $4,000 and
learned that his gift had been duph-
Gated by one from four other citizens
of Chicago.
DR.. Pearsons likewise telegraphel to
colleges in North Dakota, Missouri and
Oklahoma, which had failed to fill
the conditions imposed by his system
of philanthropy, that he would extend
the time limit until next fall, giving
them another chance to gain $4,000
each. These three schools are the only
remaining institutions to which DR..
Pearsons is under obligations.
'"This is the benevolent city," said
DR.. Pearsons recently. -Four years
ago it was practically impossible to in
terest a Chicagoan in a plan to aid ed
ucationaF institutions, but now it is to
Chicago that people come to solicit
help rather than to New England and
the east. There are three women in
this city who follow me in my gifts
and add $4,000 to the fund OF each
college that l help.
Tell their names? No, indeed. Do
you want me to cause them all the
annoyance I have had with college
beggars at my heels all the time? 1t Is
fact that every literary college in
the United States, save ten, has called
on me at my home in Hinsdale to ask
me to add to it's endowment fund.
permit my gifts to become known be-
cause the printers ink used in making
them public is a great stimulus to 9th
ers to give. If people did not know Of
such things there would be no incen-
tive.
There is no educator who is bust
ness fnancier. In all small colleges
you will find superior education and
| lack of funds. One-half the people do
| not know what the word endowment
means, especially college presidents.
After awhile l am going to the thirty
colleges which have received endow-
ments from me and demand an exami-
nation of their books and a yearly
statement of receipts and disburse-
ments. In other words, l propose to
elect myself professor Of economy in
every college to which l have given
money"
DR.. Pearsons has been the cause of
the financial prosperity of colleges in
81
leges he has given 81 100000.
