Going A-Bessinx.

Who'll run with Mr.. Roosevelt?
1t is doubtful whether in all Repub-
lican history the Vice Presidential
nomination has ever gone so far and
Jared so Ill. Sirst there was hint
thrown out to Mr. Hanna, but he de-
clined with all the positiveness of. his
nature to play second fiddle In any
such fashion. =
Governor Yates of Illinois then tim.
ed up his nose at the honor. He
turned more busily than ever to man
aging the State administration for the
Governorship contest.
Senator Aldrich was suggested; ap.
propriately, too. since the relations Of
the Standard OIL Company are so close
with the administration; but of course
the Standard OIL Company would pre-
fer to keep In the background.
Mr.. Bristow, the Investigator Of Dos
tai scandals. was the next to receive
mention; but the incongruousness OF
placing a reformer on the ticket with
Mr.. Roosevelt evidently impressed the
leaders and Bristow was dropped.
Uncle Joe" Cannon. came next. But
he natly stated his preference for the
Czarship of the House. Then 1t was
put up" to Senator Cullom; who
lodged 1t. Now 1t is running at large.
Mr.. Walbrldge's friends are said to
have been trying to round it up for
him. But friends Of his also announce
that his admiration for Missouri's
Democratic Governor-to-be may find
adequate expression at the polls; and
1t would be really absurd to have Mr..
Roosevelt's running mate casting a
vote for not only reformer, but a
Democrat. What, then, Ia the nomi-
nation to do with itself?-St. Louis

TERRIBLE DEATH.

Rutland, July 14.-After suffering
terrible agony from his burns, Marcus
Gray, young man employed at the
Raleigh Marble Quarry at Fowler, is
dead as the result of injuries received
in an explosion there Sunday night.
The boiler at the quarry was repaired
last week and after the work had
been completed the side of the boiler
was coated with kerosene oil to keep
it from rusting. Young Gray was
working nights in the boiler room at
the quarry and Sunday night before
filling the boiler he started to inspect
it. With lighted torch before him,
he climbed half way through the man
hole opening into the boiler. He had
managed to squeeze his head and
shoulders through the hole, when
suddenly and without warning there
came terrific explosion and he was
hurled like a shot from the mouth of
the boiler, several feet away. A
huge tongue of flame burst from the
msnhole as Gray's body was elected
and the interior continued to blaze
for some minutes. Gray was about
twenty years old and unmarried.

. GRATEFUL TO DOCTORS.

Washington, July 18.-American
physicians of the army aud marine
hospital service have recently made a
remarkable record in treating anemia
in Porto Rico. The Theory of native
doctors was that the disease was an
outgrowth of continued lack of nour-
ishment and was practically incurable.
Assistant Surgeon B. X. Ashford of
the army and DR.. King of the marine
hospital combatted this theory and to
prove it's error established hospital
at Dayamm. where In six weeks they
treated 93l cases, losing but one which
came to the hospital too late, The
mortality of 8, 200 residents of that dis.
trict was reduced twenty per cent and
in appreciation of their services the
citizens presented the doctors with q
memorial of gratitude upon their de.
parture.

New York, July 1S.-Fire was dis
covered early Saturday on the second
floor of the Catholic protectorate at
the West Farms road and Van Ness
Ave-, known as the Anderson build
ing. There were 900 persons in the
building, 300 of whom we're small

floors younger boys were asleep on
cots. When Brother Henry discovered
the fire he rang the bell for fire
drill and told the children to put Oh
their clothes while going to the win
dows where fire escapes were located.
There was no confusion, each child
taking his place in line, and when the
windows were reached, the boys got
on the fire escapes and went down
them to the ground without disorder

PRISONERS ESCAPE.

Burlington, July 10. - Another
escape of prisoners from sentry is
recorded at Fort Ethan Allen. Thurs
day evening five garrison prisoners,
Privates Robert A. Capelle, Frederick
P. Allen and Daniel A. Powers, all
members of the 10Th cavalry, and two
others, escaped from their sentries,
one Of whom was Private Lee Brown.
At noon yesterday the prisoners in
charge of Brown, who did not belong
to the main guard, but was a man
who was on guard the day previous
and was on duty called old guard
fatigue" left the guard house with
orders to trim the lawn in front of
the new officers club. When recall
from fatigue was sounded at 5 :15 p.
m, the prisoners began returning,
but with the large number, these FIVE
men were. not discovered as among
the missing until all the prisoners
were lined up in front of the guard
house, few minutes previous to re-
treat 6:15 p. M, for verifioation.
The sergeant Of the-guard called the
roll and five men did not answer to
their names. The guard was imme-
diately called out and secuted the
reservation without success. Lieuten-
ant William d. Forsythe, 10Th cav
airy, in charge of Troop A, mounted,
was sent to Burlington sending out
squads in various directions en- route.
Troop D, 18th cavalry, in charge of
Lieutenant Lynch, 10Th cavalry, went
to Essex Junction, doing likewise.
Robert Capelle, one of the men who
escaped, was in the guard house
awaiting a trial for escaping, with
the men who made their way to lib
erty May 6, by cutting the bars of the
guard house, At that time he was
serving sentence of eight months for
raising disturbance on the electric
cars. On June 20 he returned to the
guard house, having surrendered him
self to the military authorities at
Chicago, ILL.,, and being sent back to
the fort, without guard. Upon arriv-
ing at the post, he, in person, reported
to the guard house for confinement
Ospelle is most likely the instigator
OF this escape, as he is dare devil
sort of fellow, who delights in
causing trouble for other people.

UKHOBORS MARCH.

Dauphin, Manitoba, July 16. Ter
ror reigns among settlers north of
here, it being learned that large
band of Doukhobors, the religious
Russian sect, has arrived at Mint
onas in search of Jesus. They have
been on the march for several days,
and are now in pitiable condition,
many of them bordering on insanity.
They will accept no food, and fears
are expressed that many OF the
women and children will die if they
continue on the march for another dsy
or two. So far the march has been
through an unsettled country where
the food which they will eat is scarce.
They refuse to eat any animal food or
any sustenance which they think has
come in contact with an animal. The
Doukhobors have again cast off their
clothing, many Of them being stark
naked. Some of them are clad in
light linen because they say that
it was not made by animal labor.
Word has been received here that these
are only the advance guard of several
thousand who have started to seek
Jesus. and who are expected here in
few days. Northwest police are
being sent to stop these fanatics, but,
it is said, they will be OF no use, as
all the police in Canada would be un-
able to stop them.

returned to the house about ~ O'Clock.
He got drink of water and left, as it
was supposed, to go to work again.

WAR N US.

New Ohwang, July ID. Heavy firing
and night for several days. This is
taken to indicate that the Russians
are Offering stubborn resistance to
Japanese advance. 1t is reported that
the Japanese have occupied Yinkow.
The forces arrayed against Kuropat-
kin probably number 1876, 900 men.
The battle now in progress will doubt
less prove q terrible one and may be
the first long stride toward the end
of the war. Kuropatkin is in a bad
way, for he not only has Generals Oku
aud Nodzu opposed to him but Gen.
eral Kuroki with another large force
is to the northeast of him and can
readily advance fast enough to cut off
the Russian retreat toward Mukden.

CHICAGO STRIKE.

New York, July 16.-With their
supply of beef in hand rapidly dimin-
ishing and the price of straight cattle
advanced from 10 to IA cents a pound,
price lists in many of the smaller re-
tail markets of this city have been
raised to meet the situation brought
about by the strike OF the employees
of the great packing houses with head
quarters in Chicago Some of the lar
ger concerns continue to sell at their
old rates, basing their schedules on
the supply now ON hand. This cannot
last much longer, however, and unless
settlement is arrived at speedily,
men prominent in the trade asserted
yesterday, next week will see a great
famine in New York.
Following the advance in price of
beef has come a jump in all kinds of
meats and poultry, and eggs will 60
up in proportion to the increase in
the demand for them, it is predicted.
Even with a settlement there will
be great scarcity OF meat, if not an
actual famine The whole machinery,
so to speak, has been put out of gear
by the strike, and it will take fully
week to get back to normal condi-
tlons.
Chicago, July 15-Rapid progress
was made yesterday toward confer
ences which may bring arbitration
and peace in the great strike of butch
ermen at the stook yards. J. Ogden
Armour called conference of packers
and discussed plans for an immediate
peace meeting with the leaders of
strikers. International President Don
nsly on behalf of his men awaited the
report of the packers conference, re-
affirming his statement that the men
stood ready to arbitrate under proper
conditions With arbitration in the
air quiet prevailed at the stock yards
Three hundred additional men were
Struggled into the yards early in the
morning under police guard. All
plants yesterday were running on
small scale.
Later. A hitch in negotiations de-
veloped over the reinstatement Of the
strikers. The union demands that
every man who went on strike shall
be given his old place before an agree
ment to arbitrate will be considered.
The packers declare that they will
retain the men they have employed
since the strike began and will take
back the old men in order in which
they file applications for their former
positions.

90 URTSHIP IN THIBET.

W. W. Jhmosoh heiu, WrlJlHR III bne
Booklovers' Magazine about courtship
and marriage in Tbibet, says:
Wives are sometimes secured by
foraging expedition on weaker tribe
and by Selling as many women as may
be desired. The usual method, how
ever, is this: When warrior, sur
feited with glory Of martial life, de-
sires wife he waits upon the father
of the girl who has attracted his eye
and makes an offer of marriage. The
father, after weighing the matter
oarefully--for a refusal is likely to
provoke a long and bloody feud-in
turn waits upon the priests and ao-
quaints them with the nature of the
offer, at the same time paying to them
the answer Of the deities as to wheth-
or the marriage should be entered into.
The wife seeker, should he bediplomatic
enough, has meantime carried larger
bride to the lamas, who "bleed" both
father and sutton tothe limit of safety,
when the decision of the deities is
given.
For month the accepted sutton
must keep the family of his favored
one supplied with meat and other lux
uries and must be on his guard against
rival suitors. At the end of a month
the chosen one is invited to grand
feast by the father of the GIRL where
the. betrothal is sealed by each cutting
a small inoision in the arm and min
CLING the blood flowing from the
wound. This function of blood broth
erhood having been finished, the girl
is brought forward, smeared with
grease and various colored pigments,
adorned in all her finery with rope
tied around her neck as badge of
subservienoe. Then ensues scene of
the shrewdest bargaining, the father
dilating on the good points OF the girl
mnch in the manner that connoisseur
of blooded stock would expound the
good points of an animal, while the
sutton, having calculated how many
cattle he is willing to give, strives to
secure her at the lowest possible price,
The wishes of the woman are never
consulted, but the bargaining goes on
for days and even weeks until final
| settlement has been arrived at. The
requisite price having been paid, she
is led to the house of her husband,
where she is subjected to severe
beating in order to humble her spirit
and made to run round the village
loudly proclaiming the merits and
valor of her husband, meanwhile
touching those objects which are sup
posed to have potent influence over
her welfare.
By the sale of girl to one man,
however, the father does not relin.
quish his claims upon her. but may
sell her to other suitors who come af-
terward. until she may have half q
dozen husbands.
