Shooting Down IN. Alp. on skee..

Shooting Down the Alps on Skees.
The quest for moral is provoked by
long list of skeelng accidents in the
Alps. In itself the exercise can hardly
be considered more perilous than skat-
ing, though the proportion Of sprained
ankles and twisted tendons Is higher
but when the skeer skees distance
from his base and ventures upon I'M
familiar ground there are at least
three ways in which calamity is liable
to befall him. On glacier he may
break through the snow bridge which
he is trying to shoot and be buried in a
crevasse. On the hillside he may skee
violently down steep place and, I'M
able to arrest his pace, end by skeeing
over a precipice. Almost anywhere
unless he knows the signs, he may skee
in the tracks Of an avalanche and be
overwhelmed. Examples of each Of
these several kinds of disaster have
lately been presented, and each of the
disasters conveys a warning of which
amateur skeers, whose name nowadays
is legion, would do we'll to take a
careful note.-London Graphic.

Worked Hand In Hand.

In the many scores of cases brought
against the Amalgamated Mr. Heinze
was assisted by his brother Arthur,
lawyer. The two worked hand in hand,
and the persistence of the one was
supplemented by the legal acumen Of
the other Case after case was won
not only against the Amalgamated, but
against Senator Clark and others
There has seldom been struggle in
the financial world more replete with
sensations and scandals.
At one time Heinze won the famous
Minnie Healy mine, worth at least
$1O,OC0,COO. This was the blow that al
most killed Rogers. When he heard of
that decision all Of the Amalgamated
mines in Montana were ordered shut
down, throwing thousands of men out
OF work and causing untold misery
and hardship.
The Standard could no longer strike
at Heinze, who had whipped it in the
state courts. So in baftled rage the
great trust struck at Montana. 1t was
shortly after that shutdown that
Heinze and the Amalgamated pooled
issues and ended the long war. 1t
is safe to say that f. Augustus got
more out of that final sale than the
$1O,0OO,OOO he had originally asked Of
Rogers, when that high priest of money
nearly had nervous prostration because
of the magnitude of the demand.
Heinze concluded at that time that he
was young enough to wait. So he went
back to fighting and let Rogers think
1t over. The courts helped the Standard
to come to a conclusion.
1t has been less than score Of years
since young Heinze went fresh from
Columbia to the copper country and

Chicago Drainage Canal May Soon
Go Dry.
FLOW OF WATER IS LIMITED
Mayor Dunno and City Council Alive
to Danger Which Threatens Canal
and Vigorous Action Will
Be Instituted.

CHICAGO, May l5,-Mayor Dunno
and the City Council awoke last night
TO the danger which threatens the drlin.
age canal should Congress pass legisla-
ton whereby the flow OF water into the
canal would be limited. Two sets OF
resolutions introduced by Aldermen
Hunter and Hunt we've passed unani-
mousE vigorously protesting against
the proposed legislation.
Under the proposed treaty regarding
waterways and the great lakes in which
both the United States and Canada are
interested the flow OF water into the
drainage canal would be limited to
10000 cubic feet second A. this
amount OF water i, already being drawn
for the present system, the proposed
limit would prevent the construction OF
the Calumet channel, an essential part
OF the great project to purify Chicagos
water supply and in large measure
would render futile the expenditure OF
the many millions which the canal has
cost.
The proposed legislation by Congress
is to come up for final consideration
next Monday and quick action, Alder.
man Hunter declared, was necessary.
Copies of the resolutions will be sent
to the treaty committee and the Hi.
nois Congressional delegation. The lat
ter will be urged to use all their power
TO prevent the ratification OF the treaty.
The local officials demand that the regli.
lation OF water in the drainage canal be
left entirely under the control OF the
federal government.
The attempt to limit the water run.

Generalship.

Before General Stahel-Let.
ter is Made Public.

who died yesterday, in 1863 declined a
major generalship preferred by Presi'
| dent Lincoln. unless his friend General
Julius H. Stahel received equal recogni.
| tion at the same time General Schurz
wrote to the President a letter which
he handed to General Stahel with a re.
quest that he forward it as soon as he
had read it. The letter excited the pro-
found gratitude of General Stahel and
he refused to send it. Later when Presi.
dent Lincoln commissioned both Schurz
and Stahel, major generals. General
Stahel called on President Lincoln and
placed the letter in his hands.
General Stahel, who is 81 years old,
has guarded this letter for years as mis-
most precious treasure, showing it
only to his most intimate friends. The
death of his old comrade caused him to
have it published. 1t is as follows:
| Camp Near Falmouth, Jan. 25, 1863.
ITO his Excellency the President.
Dear Sir:-I have Just seen the
Philadelphia Enquirer. which published
list OF your nominations for major
generalships, containing my name, but
not that OF General Stahel. You re-
member the conversations we have had
upon that subject. and my emphatic
declaration that | would not be in any
manner in General Staheps way: that
he yielded to me the command of the
Eleventh corps and would be satisfied
with the command OF the cavalry re-
serve; that | accept this sacrifice if he
could be made major general as well as
myself. You informed me kindly that
this would be done

ing General Stahefs nomination tOgeth.
er with mine, feel in honor bound to
respectfully decline the distinction you
were kind enough to confer upon me, at
the same time thanking you most sin.
cerely for this great work Of friendly
consideration. You pardon me for this,
for it has always been my principle to
be true to my friends, and to stand up
to word | once have given. ! would
much rather command the Eleventh
corpse as brigadier general or not com
mand it at all, than to wear the two
stars, setting aside a man who is worthy
of preferment, deserves my friendship
and to whom I had the honor to carry
your promise Of promotion.
"Yonrs very truly,
sc. SCHURZ"
General Stahel said last night. The
list Of promotions as published in the
Philadelphia papers was correct, but the
senate jumped down the list by eight
Or nine names, 50 that General Schurz
was not promoted in January. Later
in the year there were several vacancies
and the President nominated both of us
at the same time.
II well remember the day called on
the President to thank him for honoring
me. ! gave him the letter which Cen
eral Schurz had previously written and
explained to the President that it had
never been sent because ! had refused
to put it in the mail. President Lincoln
read the letter and then, turning to me
said:
"Gt is noble letter, Stahel. 1t is
just like Schurz'"
