N OF UP ON G LASSICS. B


Z A well-known literary woman went
over to Michigan to prepare her sum
mer cottage. for occupancy during the
summer. Before going she made ar
rangements with her husband to have q
lot of household goods packed and for
warded by steamer, relates the Chicago
Tribune. - i, = T.
For some reason the shipment was
delayed, and she wrote inquiring the
cause OF the delay. -># !
"Please wire me when the goods
have been shipped" she said in con-
clusion.
The husband went hard to work and
personally saw the books, hangings,
and other property packed for the trip.
Then he went down to the dock and saw
them safely on board the boat.
Coming back from the river no
stopped at telegraph office and sent
the message as requested.
"Lares and Penates on board boat"
he said. ''Will arrive tomorrow morn
Ing"
And this was the way the telegram
read when the boy brought it to the
waiting woman in the little Michigan
town:
Lard and peanuts on board boat.
Will arrive tomorrow morning."

DARE NOT HINT AT MURDER.
ted to Refer to the Crime
Of ReGicide,

The sultan of Turkey lives in con-
slant dread of death at the hands of
an assassin and the most extraordi.
nary means are taken to guard his per-
son from their approach. He has like.
wise prohibited any mention of tho
crime Of regicide in the newspapers
published in his domain. He insists
that every ruler or person of high po-
htical Importance should die,a natural
death. The Stampa of Turin says that
other manners of death are not Off
cially recognized by Nischan Effendi,
the censor. When King Humbert was
assassinated at Monza the Turkish
newspapers announced the sad event
in this way: king Humbert left tho
hall amid the frantic cheers of the peo-
pie. The king, much affected, bowed
several times and to all appearances
was Immediately Dead" When tho
shah of Persia was assassinated t1s
Turkish papers said: "In the after.
noon the shah drove to his summer
palace and there complained of illness.
His corpse was sent to Teheran-" One
paper excelled all others by this bsurd
piece of euphemistic simplification:
"The shah left little i'll, but finally
his corpse returned to the palace. -
This was too much even for the Turks,
who keep the phrase as one of their
proverbs.

SLAVERY In NEW ENGLAND.
Brought to m End by the Supreme
Court Of Massachus etts
in 1883.

Slavery in New England began soon
after the settlement of the country.
In 1888 Pequot Indians were taken
from Massachusetts, and sold in the
West Indies. The vesfel returning
brought cargo of cotton and tobacco,
says the Boston Transcript. Slaves
were most numerous in New England
about the middle of the eighteenth
century. In 1854 there were nearly
5000 negro slaves in the state of Mas
sachusetts. In 1880, in the declaration
of rights, all men were declared to be
free and equal. In 1871 a white man I'M
Massachusetts, was indicted for beat
ing and imprisoning black man. His
defense was that this was the neces-
sary and lawful correction for a slave.
for a slave could not be held in sub
lection unless one could punish him
when he went away or refused to
work. In 1888 the supreme court Of
Massachusetts, declared that the de-
tense was invalid. That put an end to
slavery in New England. Slaves were
mostly household servants, kept large
~ by rich people for purposes of dis
play. f

H. S. Haselton, secretary and ore
manager for Pickan Mather & Co.
of Cleveland, is in the mining region
and will make his headquarters at
Duluth for some weeks, while he is
inspecting the company's proper
ties. This company owns the Hem
lock Mining company, and is inter
ested with the Lackawanna Steel
company in the Verona Mining Co.,
operating on the Menominee and
Gogebic ranges. 1t also owns the
Crete, Hobart and Malta Mining
companies, is interested jointly with
the Lackawanna Steel company in
the Scranton Mining company, with
Joseph Sellwood in the Cyprus and
operates the Sparta Mining COM
pany, all on the Mesaba range. The
Hemlock will this year ship $4,000
tons, against $4,000 tons last yeer.
The Venora mine is permanently
abandoned and after the. present
stockpile has been shipped it will
revert to its owners, but the Baltic
and Vivian, of the same company,
will ship considerably more than
last year. Mines of the Crete and
Hobart companies are active, ex-
cept for Troy of the first named;
Malta is being pumped out prepar-
atory to mining; spartais shipping
stock, and Scranton is idle for the
season.
Pickands. Mather & Co. do not
underrate the unfavorable condi-
tons that still prevail in the iron
and steel trade, which Mr.. Haselton
thinks may continue till late in the
year, but they consider it advisa BILE
to make fair shipments this year
and to have ore at lower lake points
ready for another season.-Herald.

PROOF OF NEBULAR THEORY.
Professor Ritchey ut Yerkes Obser-
vatory Makes q Startling
Discovery.

Prof. 6. W. Ritchey, of Yerkes OBJ
serVatory at Williams Bay. Wis, has
secured what is regarded as proof of
the nebular' hypothesis.
Positive knowledge has been OBJ
tanned that in the vast gulf Of space ma
ture is slowly molding suns, planets,
solar systems and star clusters; that
nebulae are converted into suns and
suns into nebulae.
For seven hours the astronomer kept
bis vigil on the night of November IS.
In the morning he was rewarded by
photograph that has startled the SCI
entific world. He found that a neb.
ula, with a star for a nucleus, changes
Its shape and the quantity of light it
emits within the compass Of ! few
hours. !:
This discovery confirms the. theory
OF creation advanced by La Place, the
famous French astronomer, who held
that space was originally full Of co.'s
mic vapor-that it solidifed in i'm
mense masses, which gained rotary
motion-that these in turn threw off
portions into space, which became
planets and satellites, while the orig
inal remained as the sun of it's sys-
tenn.
The celestial object upon which ROT.
Ritchey made his observations was the
star Nova of Perseus, supposed to be
not less than 20 years, or 117,313,92o,-
100000 miles, from the earth.
A photograph taken September 80
showed wisps of nebulous matter to
the west of the star. The negative Of
November IS showed that the spots of
density in the west field Of the nebula
had moved,

WORLDS FAIR !, SLANG.
It. Louis VIII Row Set the Paco In the
Coming offNew words ana
IL : Phrases, ..& IS e. :.

One of the enduring effects of the
Chicago fair in 1893 was the amountof
slang originated, there. The Philadel-
ph1a centennial is indissolubly con-
nected in the minds of many persons
with the disappearance Of. Charley
Ross, and from that exhibition dates,
practically, the host of jokes that have
Hooded magazines and enlivened the
stage on the, slothf ulness ,of Philadel-
Ph1a and Philadelphians, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
Now, st. Louis, in anticipation of the
opening of t he Louisiana Purchase ex-
hibition, has been Furnishing up some
OF the recent slang of the Mississippi
valley, and some of the items may be
obtained from advance sheets, so to
speak.
What is called in Chicago a dead
one" or sleeper" is in st. Louis q
Grape" The St. Louis version of the
expression "the real thing" for pref
ty girl is "a swell doll" A "crown
guy" is a policeman, a "gitney" is =
nickel, and mugs landing" is the
Union station.
st; Lous has large southern and
southwestern population. The south
west has, in recent years, superseded
the west very generally as the starting
place of most American slang, and St.
Louis has some geographical advan-
uages in this respect that are not likely
20 be obscured by the action of any
OF its up-to-date citizens.
