 Diplomatic Relations.

London, Aug. 13.-A dispatch from Vienna to the London News agency states that the disturbances at AhioIu on August 12 were the result of an anti-Grecian demonstration. Prolonged fighting ensued. both sides losing heav- fly The Bulgarians then set fire to the town in four places. The Grecian clois- ter of St George was stOrmed during the singing of a te deum. The situa- tion finally became. so serious that troops had to be summoned from Bur gas.
 The Greeks held a meeting at which it was decided to arm themselves with rifles and revolvers for the defense of their churches and cloisters, and to blow up the churches rather than all low them to fall into the hands of the Bulgarians. The dispatch adds that at Rustchuck 10000 Bulgarians tried to storm the Greek consulate, but were driven off by the troops.

DUCK CHASING
 IN EAST PHOENIX
A DriBkfsst to be Investigated in
 Court Today.

Mrs. Jesus Saloman who lives in the eastern part of the city appeared at the office of the city marshal yester- day afternoon with a weird and unique complaint of a neighborhoOd infelicity. She said that she had son about 12 years old, who if left alone would be a good sort of boy. Mrs. Matilde Stegyaert, who lives across the street is a woman of dissipated habits. She is well along in years and has several large boys. Mrs. SalOman says that the mother and boys are given to the excessive use of cheap wine and when under the Influence of it they become generous and want everybody to drink. Several times they have coaXed the son of the complainant to the Stegyaert house and have loaded him up with more than he could comfortably carry.
 Yesterday there was another drink fest at the Stegyaert mansion and young Saloman was on hand. When he appeared al home his condition with respect to fullness was such that he reminded his mother of a goat. He soon became helpless so that Mrs. Sal oman had to put him to bed and resort to those simple remedies which are employed in cases of alcohol poison. She gave him emetics, ran her fin ger down his throat and bound cold clothes about his head. Finally he sank into more natural slumber and his mother set out to see what she could do to Mrs. Stegyaert.
 City Marshal Kinney believing that the case lay in the Jurisdiction of the county authorities referred Mrs. Sal oman to Justice Johnstone. A some what different state of facts was then developed. It did not appear that Mrs. Stegyaert had given the boy the liquor, but that a son Of hers had set the ball rolling. He is employed on a ranch and had just returned home thirsty He proposed the pursuit of the duck, and offered to contribute a dime to the flight. Other money was put in and young SalOman who had a dime, put it into the drinking fund. A warrant was issued for the arrest of young Stegyaert, and when Constable Troops went to serve it he found still an~ other set of facts. The Saloman boy was at the Stegyaert house Whfther he had fled for protection after his moth

RUDE JANIToR.

Bishop McVickar. of Providence, said of tedious sermons:
 "The worse case of this kind that I ever heard of occurred in Philadelphia, where I used to live.
 There was a little old church on the outskirts of Philadelphia that had an old clergyman who was noted for the dryness of his sermons.
 Tt is said that one Sunday morning the old gentleman preached a sermon so amazingly long and dull that the congregation diminished one by one until only the janitor and himself were left
 But the clergyman, apparently un- conscious of all this. kept right on until the janitor. seeing no prospect of relief, finally gave in also, and, hand ing up the keys to the minister, said:
 I'm off You can lock up the church when you're through"

It Will Not POlIute the City's Water
 Supply.

Seattle, Washington, August 13.- The fight against the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul's entrance into Seattle by way of the Cedar river and through the city water shed collapsed today when the King county Medical society officially announced that the decision of Prof. C. A. Abbott of the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Sedg- wick, sanitary engineer, and Dr. Chas. Harrington Of Harvard would be ac- cepted.
 The three experts said the railroad would not cOntaminate the city water supply either during construction or operation. The fight against the roads coming has been waged by the doctors, who claimed the water supply would be polluted. In railroad circles it is insisted that a rival inspired the Op- position to the St. Paul railroad.

SAGEBRUSH FOR FUEL.
One Way of Overcoming Fuel Short
age Told by Traveller.

The Caldwell News tells the follow
ing story of the fuel shortage along
the Oregon Short Line
Much discussion INDUCED in here
ahouts regarding the entire disregard
of its schedule by the o. S. L. Much
was said in the papers last week
about the Union Pacific trains being
showed in over in Wyoming, which
accounted for the long delays.
Since the blockade was raised,
however, trains continue to run with
even less regularity than an average
river steamboat.
One grouchy traveller offers this
explanation, which the reader is at
liberty to discount to suit his taste
and fancy. He said:
"Why, there is no secret or mystery
about the matter. Every few miles
the train stops, ties up to telegraph
pole. and all hands and as many pas
sengers as can be induced to do so,
disembark and gather sagebrush for
fuel, which which to keep up steam.
When the tender is full and a suffi-
cient head of steam is secured to turn
the wheels, off she starts. Coal is
too valuable to waste in locomotives.
Sagebrush is getting scarce along the
right of way, and there is no telling
what the road will do later in the
season, when the supply is exhausted"

A Battle In the Sea.

Did you ever see biueHsh charge a
school Of menhaden at scar That Ia
something worth seeing. The bluefish
throw their lines forward until they al
most surround the menhaden, and they
attack them flank and rear. The men
haden fairly make the water boil in
their efforts to escape, while all around
the enemy Is at them tearing relent-
lessly. Into all this commotion comes
a great shark. It's a picnic for the
shark. school Of menhaden all herded
up for Its benefit. II swims leisurely
into the midst Of them, opens Its mouth
and takes In half a dozen menhaden at
q gulp. It swims around and bites out
half a dozen more from the school. 1t
gorges itself without effort. But the
menhaden are not nearly as much dis
turbed by the presence Of the monster
swimming about among them as they
are by the charging bluehsh. The shark
takes half a dozen fish or more at a
bite. while the bluefsh only bites a
piece out Of a single fish. but there Is
only one shark, while there may be
thousands Of bluefish plunging and
tearing incessantiy and killing and
manning at every stroke. The sharks
a brute, but under such circumstances
the menhaden have less of fear than
they have Of contempt for him.

NEW STEEL COACH
WILL De SMASHED.
U. p. WILL DESTROY NEW
CAR IN TESTING 1T.
First Steel Passenger Coach Ever
Built Sent East by the Union Pa
ciflc to Be Subjected to Extraordi-
nary Usage-Win BE Run Into All
Manner of Collisions and Wrecks to
Test Its Strength.

A new accident-proof, collision
proof, solid steel passenger coach
passed through Cheyenne yesterday.
The car is going east over the Union
Pacific to be subjected to extraordi-
nary tests. 1t will be thrown against
other cars in a collision, and run off
a derailing switch at high speed, says
the Cheyenne Tribune.
The coach was built for the Harri-
man system at the Sacramento shops,
and is the first of the kind to be con-
structed. Sheet steel is used through
out with asbestos between the plates
and the truss frame are expected to
enable the coach to Withstand crush
ing strains that will render it immune
in an ordinary wreck and the asbestos
makes 1t fire-proof.
The coach is larger than the ordi-
nary passenger car and can comfort
ably seat IS people. 1t is the model
from which cars for all of the trains
on the Hartman system are to be
built. The windows are much larger
than the ordinary coach and 1t Is in
every way more luxurious and COM
Portable.
1t is confidently predicted by rail-
road men that passengers who would
be killed or injured in a wreck in the
ordinary day coach would escape with
a slight jarring under the same cir
cumstances in this car.
Although the cost of the coach was
almost $4,000 it is being sent east
for the sole purpose of being smashed
up as it will be subjected to all kinds
of tests to show just how much the
car will stand. Before it is put out
of commission, however, it is expected
to destroy large number of ordinary
coaches which will be sent against II
and the experiment promises to prove
very costly one.

rhe story Of an invention.


The power loom was the invention of
Q farmers boy, who had never seen or
heard Of such thing, He fashioned
enc with his penknife, and when he got
1t all done he showed 1t with great en-
thusiasm to his father, who at once
kicked It all to pieces, saying he would
have no boy about him who would
spend his time on such foolish things.
The boy was sent to blacksmith to
learn trade, and his master took
lively interest In hiW. He made a
loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up and showed 1t to
his master. The blacksmith saw be
had no common boy as an apprentice,
and that the invention was valuable
one. He had loom constructed under
the supervision of the boy. 1t worked
10 their perfect satisfaction. and the
blacksmith furnished the means to
manufacture the looms, and the boy
received half the profits. In about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the boys
father that he should bring with him
q wealthy gentleman, who was the In
ventor Of the celebrated power loom.
You may be able to judge Of the as
tonishment at the old home when his
son was presented to him as the In
ventor, who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that he
had kicked to pieces the previous year.

ural History society with one of the
specimens of fossil fan palms discov-
cred by his class in geology in its field
work in North Denver, says the Den
yer Post.
The leaf covers a surface of four
feet by three. 1t is of Denver sand
stone and is a portion of fan palm
leaf that must have originally been
from eight to ten feet wide. The tree
to which these leaves belonged was a
cousin to the palmetto tree of the
South Atlantic states and of the
dwarf fan palms which this week are
so prominent in the decoration of the
shop windows on sixteenth street.
an the good old summer time, 3"
when this leaf was torn from its par
ent stalk by some ante-diluvian trop-
ical hurricane, Denver enjoyed a cli-
mate similar to that OF Florida and
south Texas, and forests of semi
tropical trees, such as cycads. tree
ferns, fig, cinnamon, myrtle and mag
nolia extended far north into Can
ada.
Collections of stumps of fossil pal
metto wood occur in several places
in Denver and Golden and mark the
site of ancient palm forests.

mankind generally? The good on,s

physicians and druggists 1t would be
expensive and very inconvenient at
times. especially in the country and
at night when neither could be con-
veniently reached. For nearly 40
years Boschee's German Syrup has
been used in many families and
thousands of lives have been sa, |
by it's use, when It was impossible to
reach a physician. German Syrup is
the best household remedy for coughs,

COST OF "CnECKING" LAND.
Irrigation Methods Discussed by Ex-
pert \. u. Stovcr.

A. p. Slower, irrigation expert, who
has been in Umatilla for the past two
years has the following to say of
the cost of preparing land for lrriga-
tion by the check system, In his first
report:
No exact estimate can be given OF
the expense of checking, as the nrice
will vary with the character of the
land and also with the locality. For
contour checks In California the cost
of building levees, leyeling the checks.
and constructing laterals averages
about 81 or $S per acre on ordinary
land, including surveying at 20 to 30
cents per acre. Check boxes at 81 to
IS per acre would bring the total ex-
pense up to s8 to s13 per acre.
In building rectangular checks on
uniformly sloping land, one man with
four horses and a scraper can check
and level at the rate of one acre In
two to two and half days. If the
land be quite smooth one man can do
this work at the rate Of one acre a
day. This would include the construc-
ton Of laterals. In Oregon the cost
Of checking has been found to vary
from s15 to $40 per acre for ordinary
land.

Of the fountain pens great age:

Samuel Taylor, "for the use or instruc-
ton of the practitioner, except a few
words concerning the kind of pen prop
er to be used for writing shorthand.
For expeditions writing some use what
are called fountain pens, into which
your ink is put, which gradually flows
when writing, from thence into a small
er pen cut short to fit the smaller end
of this instrument, but 1t is a hard
matter to meet with a good one of this
kind"
