COPPERPLATE ENGRAVING.
The Art Was Discovered Through the
Merest Accident.


Every one has noticed on his visiting
card the extremely delicate lines of
his name, and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things of use and beauty,
this art of copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest accident
by the goldsmiths Of Florence in the
fifteenth century. 1t Is a historical
fact, however, that one day an engrav-
err ON gold, wishing to take q proof OF
Ills work, made the usual sulphur cast
and then filled up the lines with lamp
black, thus enabling him to see exactly
how his work looked. While occupied
in doing this ii occurred to him that
possibly the same results could be OBJ
tanned by filling up the original en-
craving with lampblack instead OF
making an impression of 1t and filling
up that. Struck with the idea, he put
It into practical use. and with a little
damp paper succeeded In getting fair
impression from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
Other workers In the art, and they
hailed II with joy, as 1t saved all the
arduous trouble of making sulphur
casts. but they never saw the full value
Of the discovery, and consequently the
art Of plate engraving lay for almost
a century before Its true import was
discovered and brought out In all Its
great and beautiful results. Today col.
lectors of plate ehgravings rave over
the crude results of earlier times and
search the world for examples Of these
early masters to add to their collec.
lions. Many Of these collections have
been presented to museums, where
they may be seen and appreciated BY
the people.

A Shovel and An AK.

When Mrs. A. b. Smith, who was
accompanied by Mrs. Guy Ewing, ar
rived home from Mr.. iMurta's recep-
ton on Tuesday night she heard
fearful commotion in the family
chicken house. She was affrighted,
Mrs. Ewing was affrighted, and then
both were affrighted together. Arm
ing themselves with an ak and a
shovel they stole silently about in
the back yard and awaited the emerg-
ence from the coop of what Mrs.
Ewing thought must be a. wolf and
Mrs. Smith skunk. They had not
long to wait before an animal bearing
resemblance to diminutive polar
bear made its appearance and both
the ladies at first sight contemplated
climbing a tree, but as the little beast
made no attempt to attack them they
decided to attack the beast. So, ad-
vancing with caution, they forced the
little fellow into corner, where Mrs.
Ewing held it with the shovel while
Mrs. Smith chopped off it's head with
the ak. Upon examination of it's car
cass they discovered that they had as
sassinated Magnus Sjoblom's pet
ferret!

IN PITIABLE CONDITION,

Andrew Peterson of Bogus Brook Dis
covered Insane in Woods.
Marshal Cravens and VIM. Nicely
were summoned to Bogus Brook on
Sunday to capture a demented man
named Peter Peterson who for three
or four days had been wandering in
the woods. Peterson was discovered
in a piece of timber near his farm.
He had Invested himself of every
stitch of clothing and was standing
on a large boulder with his hands
raised above his head. In this posi-
ton the poor fellow was praying that
the world be reformed-that men
abandon their evil ways. He was a
pitiful sight when taken into custody
almost black from the effects of the
sun and literally covered with wood
ticks. He permitted his captors to
remove these insects from. his person
and when requested to dress himself
immediately put on his clothing.
Without resistance he then accom-
panied the two men to Princeton.
Peterson is bachlor and lived
upon his farm in Bogus Brook. He
was always an inoffensive fellow and
followed his occupation of tilling the
soil until short time ago.
He was brought before Judge
Briggs in probate court and com
mitted to the insane hospital at Fer
gus Falls.

Prof. Murta's Classes Averape w.,,

Prof. Hugh Murta has reason to
feel proud of his work in the Prince
ton high school: Fifteen out of six
teen in his chemistry class passed the
state examinations with an average of
rs per cent; his geometry class aver
aged S. per cent; his algebra class
averaged 81 per cent; his physiology
class took the subject only four
months and passed the state examina-
lions with an average of rs per cent.
Mr.. Murta is an exceptionally bright
young man; he graduated from Ham
line University with high honors. AS
teacher of science he has few EQUALS
among the young instructors of the
state. We regret that he has deemed
it best to sever his connection with
the Princeton high school.

Death of DIR. n. X. Whittemore.

Many readers of the Union will
regret to learn of the death of DR.. N.
K. Whittemore which occurred at his
home in Elk River early on the morn
ing of the 31st ult. He had been
afflicted with Bright's disease and
had been in poor health for several
years and his demise was not unex-
pected. The funeral. which was held
from the family residence on Sunday
afternoon, was conducted by the Ma
sonic fraternity, and the remains were
laid to rest in the presence of an i'm
mense concourse of Borrowing rela-
tives and friends. The pail bearers
were Chas. S. Wheaton, W. II. Houl-
ton, q. E. Craig, Adam Wood, J..

Temple, Maine, Jan. l, 1848. His first
course of lectures was taken at
Harvard College, then two courses at

ating in 1872. The following year he

VILLAGE COUNCIL.
But Little Business of Importance Passed
Upon Last Night.

But Little Business of Importance Passed
Upon Last Night
An adjourned meeting of the village
council was held last night and all
members were present with the excep-
ton of Jos. Craig, who is in the east.
After disposing of the minutes of
several previous meetings and the
auditing and allowance of bills the
matter of the petition of Frank Smith
and others for the vacation of streets
on the Rum river flats came up. In
consequence of the fact that one mem
Der of the council was absent it was
deemed wise to lay the consideration
of the matter over until he returned
and take it up when all members of
the council were present.
The Wikeen and Larson matter was
again brought before the council in
regard to restraining the tearing up
of the sidetrack on piece of ground
extending from the mill elevator to the
Wikeen & Larson warehouse. Mr..
Mcmillan, the village attorney, was
called upon for advice and that
gentleman informed the council that
the matter was one with which the vii
lage had nothing whatsoever to do
No action was therefore taken.
A petition ST ned by G. A. Jack,
Sjoblom & Olson, E. K. Evens, Mar
tin Brands, W. 81. Townsend and T.
81. Galley was presented to the council
praying that permission be granted to
widen the sidewalk alongside of their
property to twelve feet in Width. The
petition was granted. ~.
A motion prev allied permitting
Mrs. G. 81. Rines to construct the side
walk alongside of her residence prop
erty so that it may drop and line with
the crosswalk on the southwest corner
of the court house grounds.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate lowering of power house floor to
grade reported that it could easily be
accomplished, and suggested that this
be done and a cement sidewalk placed
alongside. Upon motion the same
committee was instructed to ascertain
from Bergman Bros. the cost of such
sidewalk.
1t was decided to transfer 81, 900
from the general to the electric fund.
After discussion as to the advis-
ability of enforcing all those using
city water to put in meters the council
adjourned.

MILACAS DEFEATED.
Prlnceton's Aggregation of Athletes
Prevents Contestants From
Making Single Score.
Battle was Holly Fought One and
Some Very Good Plays Were
Made by Both Sides.

4l0 .IFluC0IOu Dali Team Qo1oaGeQ
the Milaca team on the latter's
grounds last Sunday afternoon by a
score of 3 to 0. The game was hard
fought one from beginning to end.
Both teams had the bases full several
times but nobody seemed able to hit
when hits meant scores. Griffin
pitched fine ball for Princeton. AL
though he allowed Milaca nine hits he
kept them so we'll scattered that Mil
AGA was unable to score. Flavin, a
former Tooze twirler, seemed to lack
anything that could be called control,
for during the game he hit five Prince
ton players, including Griffin, whom
he hit twice.
Some very good plays were made
during the game by both teams. Bar
beau's one handed stop of Marshall's
drive, Davis double play with Carl
son assisting, and Marshall's catch
of Porter's drive in the 9th being
among the best. .....
No scoring was done until the 18th,
when Davis got first on an error, went
to second on Gerber's failure in
handling Cordiner's fly, third on
Marshall's single and scored while
Goodridge was loving the ball after
successfully fielding Smiths long
drive to left field.
In the 7th Walker was thrown out at
first, Smith got his legs tangled up
with one of Flavin's wild ones and
got a life at first, Mergel struck out,
Griffin drew a base on balls, ad-
vancing Smith to second. Smith
scored when Porter muffed Skahen's
hit to center field, Griffin going to
third and scoring when Wilkes allowed
the ball thrown to him by Mallette,
who folded Carlson's grounder, to
pass through his hands.
Again in the 9th Princeton's chances
to score looked good for a while, but
Mergel, who went completely into the
air, spoiled all chance in the follow
ing manner: Smith hit safely for one
base; Mergel then came to bat and
got single which, Notwithstanding
the cries of the coach, he tried to
stretch into double with Smith
standing on second base. Smith gave
up the base to Mergel, allowed him
self to be put out and started for the
bench, and Mergel, again not being
able to see Smith in his big green
suit, also started for the bench and
was promptly touched with the ball,
thus retiring two.
Milaca came very near scoring in
the 9Th when, with Cramer on second.
Mallette hit safely to right field,
Cramer going to third and then trying
to make home but was cut off bv
Cordiner's throw from the field to
Skahen.
