mercial treaty with Japan, but the honor
of successfully conducting a negotiation
was reserved for Commodore Perry a few
years later. The two American sailing
vessels anchored fifteen miles TO the north
east of the Bay of Jeddi, being warned by
the Japanese authorities not to come nearer
than that to the land.
Japanese Alarmed.
The strengthening vessels spread alarm
among the Japanese, who declined to have
anything TO do with the foreigners They
were warned by the japanese not to ap-
proach the harbor, and hundreds of small
armed boats swarmed out and lay between
the vessels and the shore in threatening
manner. The Japanese told the American
commodore that they would supply him
with water and provisions, with the under
standing that he was to leave and never
return. They declined to accept any money
for what they furnished the foreign fleet
In the meantime hundreds of Japanese
visited the American vessels and gratified
their curiosity by looking at the vesselsand
their equipment. After nine days anchored
there the vessels left for home and reached
the California coast in time to take some
part in operations in connection with the
Mexican war. When the vessels left for
Japan there were no hoStilities between this
country and Mexico, but when they re-
turned that armed contest was at it's
height.
After his return to the east Mr. Christy
was honorably discharged and he has
long enjoyed a pension for his service in
the Mexican war. He then went to Iowa.

city in 1861, entering the Post Office De-
partment as clerk, in which office he
was employed continuously until 1903
gaining the esteem of many employees of
the department who came in contact with
him and learned his interesting history
His Home Since 1867.
In 1867 Mr.. Christy moved into the
house 1107 Sth street, and that has ever
since been his home. He was one of the
twenty-five persons who organized Ham
line M. E. Church in July, 1865, and he
has since been member of that congre-
cation. He took a deep interest in re-
ngious matters, and has been one of the
leading men in that church.
Mrs. ChriSty is caring for her husband,
and everything possible is being done to
restore his health, but his advanced age
gives little hope that he can recover.

his pick, without thought that it's point
was entering mass of silver ore which
has since been mined for over ten years
Noting the glitter of the fragments he
took them to the nearest town and had
them assayed-more out of curiosity than
otherwise, for apparently they contained
too much of the white metal for it to be
genuine. The assay showed no less than
twelve pounds of silver to the ton. News
of the discovery soon spread and openings
were made from which ore yielding over
3000,000 pounds of pure silver has thus far
been taken, and no one knows how much
more lies in the bowels of the hills.

Fighting Of a Fierce Nature Took
Place on Front Fourteen
Miles Long on a Line With
the Shakhe River.

St. Petersburg. March S.-That the
battle OF Mukden will go down in his
tory with Lao Yang in the long list
OF Russian defeats is the almost uni
versal belief in pessimist st. Peters
burg. which has forgotten the mean
ms Of the word victory. The war Of

ceeds in magnitude of operations and
losses that OF Shakhe has been decid-
ed although II is positively stated in
high quarters that Kuropatkin has tel
egraphed to Emperor Nicholas that it
will DO impossible to hold Mukden.
and that the withdrawal Of the army
northward has already been begun.
Everything now probably depends
on Gen. Kuropatkin's reserve. While
Japanese hurled themselves forward
at every point Tuesday their main en-
orgies we're behind the blow west and
southwest in an attempt to envelop
the Russian right and drive a wedge
through the line at Madzyapu, but Gen.
Kuropatl1in seems to have been able
successfully to change front on the
line Of his shattered right, aligning
from northwest to southeast 10 pro
tect the railroad TO Mukden; and at
nightfall It was reported he was prac-
tically holding all his positions. At
he same time he was drawing in and
shortening his line to the southeast.
Both Sides Are Exhausted.
Both sides are terribly exhausted by
ten days Of continuous fight and all
the correspondents at the front init
mate that the issue must be definitely
decided Wednesday.

the battle may depend largely on the

periences on the way down. The
cold continued nearly the same until
we crossed the Tennessee river in
Alabama, then the ice began to thaw
off the car window 50 that we could
see out, but the snow lasted nearly to
the Florida line. About fourteen
miles below Birmingham the train
come 10 a sudden stop. Looking out

question come whether il would be

in this case, and early next morning
news came that the big hotel at which

The Air-Lift Installed.

On last Saturday the new air-lif
outfit, OF the New iberia Ice & Bot
Ting Works. was completed and tested
Its erection was directed by Mr.. +. v
deCoppet. The first test was made or
one of the old extinct wells, but the
we'll had so filled and packed with
sand for some go feet that satisfactory
results were not attained. This sand
was washed out and beautiful flow
of limpid cold water was attained or
Tuesday.
The exhaust pipe from the air re-
tort was carried to the bottom of the
well, 2lO feet below the surface. Six
ty FIVE lbs. of air was the pressure
mainted while working. 1t required
about four hours to get the well free
of sand and Welding good flow.
This we'll was originally drilled in
1898, and was used for about years
when it closed. The casing was, then
pulled up, clensed and re-sunk. II
then yielded water for one season
only, when it was abandoned. Tive
other wells were drilled and they sue
cessively passed out of use. Then the
air-l,ft was resorted to.

Fire Alarms.

Last Sunday forenoon the fire
alarm was sounded, calling out
the companies. The trouble was
at the Emmer brick yards. The
boiIer.house was destroyed.
From our information it seems
that a stick of wood, too long for
the furnace, had been used in the
fire box. The end was left pro
truding at the door. When this
stick was burned off the end fell
out and ignited a lot of shavlngs
near by. When discovered it was
too late to save the boiler house.
On Monday morning early a fire
was very narrowly avcrted by
beng discovered in time at the
Eureka Hotel. The cause of the
trouble is supposed to have been
a carelessly discarded cigarette.
Thursday forenoon the firemen
were called ont for a blaze at the
residence of Mr. ThOs. Norwood
of east end. The fire was extin
guished before any considerable
damage was done.

Comprising the air greatly in
creases the temperature in the re-
tort and air pipes. The pipe at the
point where it enters the well is So
hot as to be almost unbearable to the
hand. When this air is released at
the bottom of the we'll its rapid eXpan
sion greatly reduces its temperature.
eflcctIng the water delivered. Not
withstanding the hot pipe entering
the top of the we'll. the water was de
livercd at 50 degrees fully one degree
below the normal ofthe we'll. AS this
water is to be used on condenser pipes
it has the greater advantage in its low
temperature.
If the original plan for the city
waterworks could be carried out in
the construction of large surface
basin, and system of air-lifts be APP
piled to the present four wells, water
enough for all purposes could be as
sured, better for being aerated and
freed of its gasses. The future may
bring this advantage.
