account of the lack of condition of smith,
the match was curtailed from six rounds.
The first round was passed in the TWO

Dora Denning daughter OF newly rich mine
king. who is trying to break into New York
society, becomes engaged to the Rev. Basil
Stanhope, the young rector Of fashionable St.
celtic temperament. Dora is mere butterfly
OF fashion. Ethel Rawd0n. daughter of Judge
Rawdou, and member Of the more exclusive set,
is Dora's closest friend. Judge RawdoD comes
Of ancient Yorkshire, England, family, OF
which he is intensely proud. The present
English head of the family. old Squire Raw

has been forced to mortgage the place Tor

friendly or quite pleasant. After this meet
ing all the joy went out of Ruth and Ethel's
shopping. They wanted to get back to the
Court, and they attended strictly to busi-
ness in order to do SO.
Mostyn followed them very quickly. He
was exceedingly anxious to see and hear
for himself how his affairs regarding Raw
don stood. They were easily made plain
to him, and he saw with papg of disap-
pointment that all his hopes of being squire
of Rawdon Manor were over Every penny

and on the title deeds of the ancient place
he had no longer the shadow OF a claim
The squire looked ten years younger as he
affectiOnately laid both hands on the re-
deemed parchments. and Mostyn with en-
forced politeness congratulated him on
their integrity and then made hurried re-
treat. OF It's own kind this disappoint-
ment was as great as the loss or Dora.

quake came chiefly in two shocks. The
first series lasted about 40 seconds. then
diminishing in force for 10 seconds. The
second series lasted about % seconds.
The direction was mainly from south
southeast to north-northwest. The re-
markable feature was a rotary motion.

ments representing very regular ell

earth's crust was about half an inch
and the velocity about two inches per

have another disturbance for many
years. The shock was felt most serious

PUNISHMENT OF THE PACKERS

The human mind naturally turns to
the punishments meted out by law as
the strongest deterrents to criminaiity
There is all over the country wild de-
sire that the men guilty of the mons
trous things charged against the pack
ers should be brought to the door of
justice, and have Judge and jury mete
out penalties to them adequate to their
wrong doing. Looking at it in the
largest way we see that those men are
suffering a thousandfold more than
they could from any penalty imposed
upon them by legal tribunal, no mat
ter how bitterly severe. The whole
packing business is many millions poor
er than it was 10 days ago, and every
week will see 1t suffering a loss os mil
lions of dollars more on account of the
blight upon its business. Before the pub
lie will again feel confidence in canned
goods of any kind there will have to be
an expenditure, approximating the loss

and scientific character, with every ap-

old disease-reeking shambles. poisoned

THE DISGRACE OF ILLINOIS.

The heaviest burden of the odium
from the Chicago revelations falls upon
the State of Illinois. Substantially every
thing disgusting. disgraceful and de-
grading found by the Investigating Com
mittee could have been prevented. and
should have been prevented by proper
factory and sanitary laws and their exc
cution. Most of the States have suffi-
cient factory and sanitary laws. and if
Illinois has them not she should lose no
time in enacting them. 1t is altogether
likely. however, that the laws on the
Statute Book were sufficient to have
compelled the slaughter-houses TO he
cleaned up and put in proper SANITARY
condition; to have had the workroons
made entirely healthfuI for the en-
ployes. and to have prevented the gross
ly immoral conditions that were found
There is simply no excuse for the OFF,
cials of Illinois. for the men and wo-
men of the State who assumed to be
on the watch-towers over the public
health and morals. that things were
found to be in the condition that they
were and to have existed all these years

There is prospect of reviving the
steamboat trade upon the Missouri Riv-
er. At one time there was a great COM
high water far up into the Yellowstone
River. The railroads and the uncer-
tainty and dangers from the shifting,
treacherous current of the river finally
destroyed this trade, and for years there
has not been a steamboat running regu-
Iarly upon the great stream. 1t is said
that the death blow was given by the
insurance companies refusing to issue
risks, and as the boats cost all the way
from $4,000 to 5000, they were en-
tirely too big an investment to run risks
with. The Kansas City merchants are
now making efforts to revive the old
trade in order to get their goods from
st. Louis and the lower Mississippi
cheaper than the railroads will carry
them. The railroads reduced rates as
long as the boats were kept running,
but as soon as these were driven off the
rates advanced to a higher figure Tn

can make her cost in four trips There
are seven feet of water all the way from
Kansas City to st. Louis, and a 500-ton
boat would draw &c inches when empty
and six feet when loaded. One of the
troubles that resulted in the failure of
the last line of boats established was
that the stockholders would insist upon
and leaving that of other patrons un-
touched upon the wharves, although
this paid higher rates than that which
they were carrying. This difficulty is
one that stands in the way of the adop-
ton of the present plan to put three
boats into commission.
