A Record Year.

Though the first half of 1907,
has not passed, its record of cas-
uality already exceeds the total OF
1906. The has be en- thirty eight
railroad accidents of more than
the ordinary magnitude, in which
273 persons have been killed and
925 injured
Twenty-three steamers have
been wrecked, involving the loss
of 902 lives.
There have been thirteen mine
accidents in which 355 persons
have perished.
These casualties have been due
to human negligence or Ignorance
in large part, but nature has been
destructive also, Tidal waves
have swept away 2,240, earth
quakes $500, hurricians $50, but
cyclones thus far have been com
paratively merciful, unless there
shall prove to have been great loss
of life by the one at Kurrachi, In
dia, last week. In other cyclones
about seventy have been killed.
When to these totals is added
the sum of smaller casualties there
can be little doubt that 1907 will
be known in history as the year of
disaster.
The cloud has silver lining,
however. The total of gifts and
bequests in all forms of philanth-
ropy in less than six months of
1907 is larger than the total for
the twelve months of 1905, being
$107, 961 $50, as compared with
$lO6, 28l, ,Os3. And never have
there been five months during the
last twenty-five years IN which the
total Of embezzlement and various
forms defalation has been as small
as in this first five monts of 1907.

Testing Spoons.

When a reputable manufacturer
of plated tableware guarantees a
set of spoons or forks to last a GER
tain number of years the purchaser
accepts the statement in good
faith, but wonders how the maker
knows. The life of plated
spoon, however, is not a matter of
guesswork, but is based on actual
experience. To wait 90 years to
determine weather the ware
would endure that long would
obviously be impracticable. To
get quick action "natural-wear
machines are used. Tin and
china plates of various sizes are
fastened in a circle to table;
over the plates metal ring re-
wolves, to which the article to be
tested is fastened. An electric
motor keeps the ring in motion,
and at each revolution the spoon
or fork is dragged across ten or a
dozen plates. AS the ring makes
500 revolutions an hour each ar
ticle is dragged across 5000
plates, or 10000 in "a hours, for
the machine can be left running
all night, Hence one or two days
in the wearing machine would
represent as many contacts as a
spoon would receive in the course
of ordinary household use in a
great many years, and the con-
facts are much harder and longer.

GOVERNOR
HARRIS
Issues Proclamation to
Observe September End.
as Labor Day.

Governor Harris issued last Fri
day his proclamation calling up
on the people of Ohio to observe
September Ord, as Labor Day,
The proclamation reads as follows :
"The General Assembly of Ohio
has designated the first Monday
in September of each year as a
legal holiday. In furtherance of
the object sought to be attained,
| hereby call attention to the fact
that Monday, the second day of
September, 1907, is to be observed
as Labor Day.
Civilized man has ceased to look
upon labor as curse, but rather
regards the useful exercise of
mind and body as mans greatest
blessing the only means of physi-
cal and mental growth and i'm
provement. The happiest man lie
he who finds joy in his work, and
as this truth becomes generally
recognized we may expect to find
both better work and greater con-
tentment.
"With these thoughts in mind
it is hoped that Labor Day will be
celebrated as a triumph of achieve
ment, satisfactory retrospect of
a years. work we'll done, holiday
of pleasure and congratulation
among those who come rejoicing
bringing in the sheaves.'
81 beg to request that all citi-
zens of Ohio comply with the
letter and the spirit of the law
and unite in the proper observance
of this holiday.
In testimony whereof l have
hereunto subscribed my name and
caused the great seal of the state
to be affixed, at Columbus, this
ninth day of August, A. D. 1907.

Why Scene In Romeo and Juliet"
Was Spoiled.

Why Scene In Romeo and Juliet"
Was Spoiled.
The supers used in big stage pro-
ductions have the appetites of ele-
plants. No food or drink used on
the stage is too mean for them to
neglect-proyided the property man
isn't looking. They drink the cold
tea as though it was really wine in
stead of the fake vintage. They
devour the ginger cake that passes
for pate de foie gras. They have
even been known to attack realistic
papier mache grapes and the ices
made of cotton batting.
The play on this particular night
was ''Romeo and Juliet" and the
scene in Juliet's garden the piece de
resistance. The stage was filled
with apple trees in bloom. White
petals were scattered thickly on the
cocoa mating greensward. They
were not really apple blossoms, but
white, pulpy popcorn, substituted
for muslin flowers after many ex-
periments, because they looked just
as well and lasted longer. The fake
blossoms differed from the popcorn
of the candy stores in one particu-
lar. The fremen thought the pulpy
corn increased the danger from fire
and ordered the manager to squirt
a freproofng mixture on them,
The prompt book had this stage
direction at the climax of the third
act "Romeo fights Tybalt, Muir
murs off L, changing to yells, All
on" On this evening there were
no murmurs, no yells, no 'all'' to go
on. AS the curtain fell Romeo went
to the stage manager, beside him
self with rage,
"What the-beg pardon-good-
ah"-- he yelled. "Where-was-
that crowd?"
"Out of business" replied the
stage manager, "They're lying in a
row down in the cellar, They ate
the doped popcorn. ."-Philadelphia

Three hours afterward they were

Trouble Between Mining
Companies.

Seven officials and employees of
the Columbus and Hooking Coal
and Iron company, with offices in
the Harrison building, were arrest
ed yesterday in Athens county as
an incident to a controversy over
property rights in coal mine
lease between that corporation and
the York Clay and Mining com
pany. All were released on bail
furnished by Attorney d. N.
Postlewaite of Columbus.
The warrant on which they
were arrested included the name

Coal and Iron company. Sheriff
Harry Webster of Athens came to
Columbus last night to serve the
warrant and was accompanied IN

in communication with Mr.. Rachel

appear in Athens to give his testi-
mony when wanted, Sheriff Web

About three years ago the local
company leased mine No, 20, near
Buehtel, Athens county, to the
York people, with the usual for
feiture clauses. Among other
things, If royalties for coal mined
were not paid, the lease was trans
ferred, or coal outside the bound
aries of the lease was mined, the
Columbus company had the right
to take possession of the property
and the lease terminated.
Officials of the Columbus com
pany claim that, without effect,
six different notices were served

100 Years of Steamboat

The centennial of the sailing of
Robert Fulton's steamboat Cler-

served all along the river on Aug

hour that the old Clermont started
On her first trip 100 years ago,

All steamboats, on the river have
been supplied with pictures Of
Robert Fulton and the Clermont,
which will be hung in the cabins.
Perhaps the progress made in
steamboating is best shown when
the Clermont is compared with the
Lusitania, the latest Cunarder
launched, which is 100 feet long,
Ss feet in breadth and 80 feet in
plated depth, with displacement
of 40, 900 tons, engines developing
80, 900 horse power and speed of
25 knots per hour. The Clsrmout
would not make the Lusitania a
respectable sized launch and might
almost be placed inside one of her

Fnlton's achievement seems insig-

HIS ODD

The Collar That Gave
Plumley a Second Start
in Business.

"Nothing succeeds like persever-
ance," said Mark Twain at din
ner. "When the luck seems most
against US, then we should work
and hope hardest of all. In mo-
ments of encouragement let US re-
member my old friend Henry
Plumley of Virginia City.
Henry Plumley ran a collar
factory. Times were reported to
be hard with him. When his fac
tory, which was very heavily IN
sured, burned down, there was
every indication that he had set
the place on fire himself in order
to get the insurance money. Vir-
ginia City was the soul of honor
in those days. Shocked beyond
words, it rose en- masse, seized
Henry Plumley, put a halter round
his neck and lynched him.
"But he did not die. The sher-
itf arrived and cut him down in
time. He was tried and found
guilty, and he served term in
Jail.
son his release you wouldn't
have thought that he'd return to
Virginia City again, eh2 He did,
though. He came back, reopened
his collar factory and prospered.
"What gave him his start was
the odd advertisement with which
he announced his return to busi-
ness among us. Preceded by a
band, Henry, in a great gilt char
lot, burst upon our streets. He
sat on a kind of golden throne,
and he held on crimson cushion
in his lap an old, old collar.
Above the collar on crimson ban
ner waved this inscription in huge
letters of gold

when we were lynched. 1t saved
our life. Be wise in time and use

Neither Did the King.

1t is told of King Frederick VI
of Denmark that while travelling
through Jutland one day he entered
village school and found the chill
dren lively and intelligent and
quite ready to answer his questions.
"Well, youngsters" he said,
"what are the names of the greatest
kings of Denmark ?"
With one accord they cried out,
"Canute the Great, Waldemar and
Christian V. p
Just then a little girl, to whom
the schoolmaster had whispered
something, stood up and raised her
hand.
"Do you know another?" asked
the king.
"Yes-Frederick VI"
"What great act did he per-
form?"
The girl hung her head and stam-
mered out, Il don't know"
"Be eomforted, my child" said
the king. 81 don't know either"

HOW WHALES
ARE KILLED
Formidable Harpoon Is
Fired Into the
Whale.

The feature attracting the cas-
ual observer is the vessels harpoon
gun, situated forward of every
thing, from which the formidable
harpoon is fred into the whale.
The gun looks like small cannon
and about pound of powder is
used to discharge the harpoon,
which is rammed home in the
same manner as shot would be
and tied from the outside end with
a small cord, this breaking, of
course, when the gun is fired.
The harppon is a very heavy mis-
sile, weighing several hundred
pounds, which necessitaties its be-
ing fred only pretty close range,
The lance head pieces the whale
and soon afterward explodes
bond contained in it, while still
farther back on the shatG are
barbs, which expand on entering
the whale, making it next to i'm
possible for the harpoon to be
drawn out again, Each harpoon
after being fired has to be straight
ened by blacksmith in order to
again fit the gun barrel. A stout
hemp rope four inches in circum.
ference ia attached to the harpoon
about eighteen inches from the
point. This line is of great fe1-
ibility and strength and is manu-
factured solely for whaling in Nor
way. A few fathoms of this line
are coiled on a plate directly un-
der the gun, the remainder being
below decks clear to run. There
are two of thes lines, each 1,SO0
feet in length, and sometimes they
are none to long for the purpose.

The North Coast is Backt by the
Northwestern.

Tue mystery of the North Coast
has probably been solved. Robert
F. Strahorn, the promoter of tie
North Coast, is the agent of the
Vanderbilts, who are Iu~ hing the
Northwestern to Puget Sound. A
Chicago Dispatch says that this has
been authorativrly announced, as
has the proposed ex ension of the
Northwestern.
The following disp,'ch was re-
ceived from Chicago: The exten,
sion of the No thwestern railroad
to Seattle is now all as ured fact.
The Wander bilt road has been quiet
ly extending its road westward
during the past year and plans to
reach tide water on the Pacific
coast at Seattle as soon as its prin-
cipal rival, the Milwaukee.
The Washington alliance of the
Northwestern has formed and it Is
given out authoritatively here that
the Moth Coast railway is to fur
nish the Washington connection of
the new transcontinental line.
Officials of the Vanderbilt road
state that official announcement of
the complete plans for the exten'
sion IF the road to S attic will be
made within a short time.
