A MAN OF MYSTERY.
Peculiar Life Of Metastasio, the ceie.
brated Italian Poet.

brated Italian Poet.
Metastasio Q69S-17S2), the celebrated
dramatic and operate poet, spent fifty
five years in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing TO learn it.
Besides his utter Indifference to all
speech but Italian, MetastasiO possess
ed many peculiarities of character.
None might mention death in his pres
ence. Those who alluded TO smallpox
before him he made it a point not to
see again. In all his fiffy-five years
in Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent of SO to the
poor. He always occurad the same
seat at church. but never paid for it.
He took all his meals in the most mys-
FERROUS privacy. His greatest friends
had never seen him eat anything but 4
biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing
would induce him to dine away from
home. He never changed his wig or
the cut or color of his coat.
Metastasio was TO have been present
ed 10 the pope the day he died and
raved about the intended interview in
the delirium of his last moments. Mrs.
PiOZZi familiar to readers of BOswell'S
Life Of Or. Johnson as Mrs. Thrale,
collected these particulars from the Ia
dies Of the Marines family. with
whom Metastasio WAS so long domesti-
Gated without speaking or understand

Grenada Was Bought Cheap.

The island of Grenada. in the Brit
iSh West Indies, was bought by the
French from the Caribs by Il solemn
treaty in the middle of the seventeenth
century, and the price paid was two
bottles of rum. Esaus mess of pot
tage was good stroke of business by
comparison. The Caribs soon regret
ted having sold their brthright and
vainly tried 10 get the island back by
force. 1t is now one of England'S most
prosperous colonies in the West Indies.

ETIQUETTE IN SIAM.
On Hands and Knees Before the King
Was Long the Custom There.

Was Long the Custom There.
Perhaps the most revolutionary re-
form carried out 10y the late king of
Siam was the abolition of the arbi-
trary rule of etiquette which forbade
an inferior in rank TO raise his head
above that of superior or even level
with 1t. The inferior must not even
pass over a bridge while n superior
was underneath it. nor must he enter
4 room in an upper story while SUI
periOr was occupying q room beneath
it. Servants approached their mas
tiers on hands and knees. This Gus
tom is by no means obsolete today in
spite of the royal edict, for many Of
the powerful mobiles who live far
away from the court still enforce it.
In 1874 the king held a large court.
at which no one present presumed TO
appear otherwise than on hands and
knees. 1t was at this audience that
the edict forbidding the custom was
read to the PROSTATE multitude. They
there and then rose and stood like
men in the presence Of their sovereign
for the first time on record. Since
then there has been no prOStratiOn ut
the royal audiences. But If sunc-
riur stops to speak to an inferior in
the street the latter will still bend or
lower his head in some way as Il
mark of respect - London Saturday

EIGHT KILLED IN
MAINE RAIL WRECK
Smoking Car Te|escoped When
Trains Collide.

Grindstone, Me-, July 30.-Eight per-
sons are dead and fourteen seriously
injured as the result of head-en col
lision which occurred at the Bangor
and Aroostock railroad station here.
The trains were special of three
light coaches, containing about $50
excursionists, and a regular passenger
express.
Five of the dead were passengers of
the excursion train. The other three
included the two firemen and the en-
gineer of the special. The five pas
eengers killed and all of the injured
were in the smoking car directly be-
hind the engine of the excursion
Both trains we're moving slowly, one
of them just pulling out of the station
and the other slowing for siding
where the trains were to have passed.
The accident appears to have been
due to a misunderstanding of orders.
None of the cars left the rails and
the passengers on the regular train
escaped with a slight shaking up.
Grindstone is small settlement of
not more than fifty persons, with no
facilities for the care of the injured.
They were cared for temporarily by
physicians on board the trains and
placed on special train and taken
to Millinocket.

half MILLION DOLLAR Loss
Fire Destroys the Immense Plant OF
the Bay State Milling Com
pany at Winona.

Fire which originated presumably
from an overheated motor, resulting
in an explosion Of the -four dust
IN the sack room, practically wiped
out the plant OF the Bay State MIL
ing company at Winona, entailing
a loss of fully half q million dollars.
The company was the fourth largest
producer OF -four in the United States
and it's plant was one Of the most
modern in the Northwest.
The fire broke out just as the day
force was planning to stop work and
the night crew was coming on. The
defective motor was discovered and
small fire was corralled, when ter
rife explosion took place in an cd
joining room on the north side Of the
ground floor of the main building. The
alarm was spread Immediately and all
the men reached place of safety be-
fore the flames cut off escape.
The fire department was handi-
capped because of the lack of water
pressure due to the low stage of the
river and with every available piece of
fire fighting apparatus on the scene
it became necessary to send call for
assistance to La Crosse and Eau
Claire. Both responded quickly.
A few minutes after the firemen ar
rived the flames had spread through
the west end of the mill and broken
through the roof, where they were
famed by high wind. The fire swept
through the entire structure and half
an hour after the alarm was sounded
the building was engulfed in flames
which licked up the adjoining struc-
lures and shot sparks for a mile into
the business section of the city.

DEBATE on COTTON SCHEDULE
Minority Report Condemns Bill as
Nonprotective Measure.

Washington, July 29.-Debate on
the Democratic cotton schedule revi-
sion bill was begun in the house by
Representative Underwood of Alaba-
ma, chairman of the ways and means
committee, which prepared the bill.
No date was fixed for closing debate
on the measure, although it is be-
lieved it will end Wednesday with a
vote on the day following.
The minority report was presented
by Representative Payne of New
York, leading minority member of the
ways and means committee. It ,ex-
presses opposition to the bill because
it does not furnish protective duties
for great American industry and it
is frankly admitted that it is not in
tended to do so"
