Michigan City special: A bad wreck on the Louisville, New Albany <fc Chicago road occurred at Otis, Indiana, seven miles south of here, resulting In the death of the following of the train crew: Engineer J. C. Murray, Fireman James Brown and Brakeman Elmer H. Brown. Engine 27, going from Monon to Michigan City, with a heavy train of freight cats, dashed through the trestle into T the swollen mill stream beneath. Several miles above the bridge is a dam Which gave way shortly before midnight, and tearing along bore with it a large saw-milL It is supposed that the mill struck the trestle just as the loaded cars were on jt. The bridge is a new one and made of oak and iron. The curve in the road and the darkness, together with the downpour of rain, made it impossible for the engineer to notice the washout and the engine and twelve • cars went over, bearing with them the H. trainmen who were killed. The cars were loaded with pig iron and coal and crushed down upon the - engine, which was buried in water. A TEST CASH To Compel Indiana Railroads to Fay Their Taxes. Indianapolis special: About fifty county attorneys and treasurers met in State Attorney General Smith’s office recently to consult concerning the united I efforts of different railroad corporations | in trying to evade the assessment Udder the new tax law. It was decided after consultation to let the case now pending in the Marion County Superior Court be the test case, the railway attorneys agreeing. Suits in other counties now brought by the various railway companies, will be continued until the test case is settled. Attorney General Smith is confident of winning and says that the railroads were assessed under a law which is a direct copy of the Illinois law, which has been affirmed by the United States Court The cases involve over a pillion of dollars of taxes to the State, Mrs. Osborne’* Release, London special: The release of Mrs. Osborne from Holloway jail, where she was met by her husband and taken to the home of her parents is not favorably received by the press. The Star says it is not surprised, but believes the release will be a bad precedent, since it must be confined to aristocrats. The St James’ Gazette thinks it is time to call a halt in shortening the sentence of females who have been justly convicted. Deeming Sentenced to Death. Melbourne special: Mr. Furlong, counsel for Deeming, summoned up for the defense at considerable length. The counsel wound up with a keen analysis of the testimony which he declared showed at every step Deeming’s irresponsibility. The jury found him guilty and have sentenced him to death. Paige Pleads'Gullty. Ralph K. Paige, Treasurer of the Painesville, Ohio, Bank, which failed re- ;., cently, pleaded guilty before. Judge Hamilton, at Cleveland, to having forged two notes of 53,000 and $2,000 respectively. He was then remanded to jail and will be sentenced to the Penitentiary in a few days. Chilian Wheat Destroyed. A special from Valparaiso, via Panama, says: An Osorono paper states that owing to the heavy rains the wheat crop in that department has been entirely lost. The loss is estimated at sl,000,000. Reports of damage to wheat come from Valdivia and other places. Preferred Death to Paralysis. Chicago special: Dr. D. C. Williams, a prominent young Englewood physician, committed suicide by shooting himself through’ the head. The deed was caused by the approach of a stroke of paralysis which he had in vain* attempted to-ward off. Reciprocity with Honduras. President Harrison has issued his proclamation announcing the establishment under the provisions of section three of the McKinley tariff law, of reciprocal trade relations with Honduras. Bearding the Tiger. Two women armed with hatchets raided the “blind tigers” at Corbin, Ky., and emptied every barrel of whisky and 7 beer In the town. Suing the Sugar Trust. United States Attorney Ingham, acting under instructions from Washington, has filed a bill at Philadelphia against the sugar trust Work of the I 1 lames. |L, At Mount Sterling, Ky., the following business houses were destroyed by fire: s The Sentinel newspaper office, J. H. K, Brunner’s shoe store, the postoffice, Hatnley’s bazaar, Enoch’s bargain store, g business houses of T. P. Martin & Co., Bt dry goods and notions; W’alt M. Gay & ft;;.' Co., grocers, and Mrs. Kate O. Clark, millinery. The total loss is about $50,000, with insurance Aggregating one-half that sum. The entire contents of the postoffice, valuable mail matter, etc., <, were destroyed. In th. Throe* of Revolution. Advices from Venezula say that the capital is threatened by the revolutlonRSk jets. A bad state of affairs exist, the prisons are full and arrests have ceased because the jails will accommodate no more. It is stated on good authority that President Palicio is preparing to flee, as the main body of his army is too far distant to succor him before the attack, and the garrison i?too weak" to offer prolonged resistance. The capital la full of rumors as to plots against Pal- ■ lew’s life and tour men have been ar- ‘ rested and charged with a conspiracy to ■ blow up the palace with dynamite. As there has been no trial or execution outS-' aide Os prlslon walls, nothing Is known

as to the foundation of the aceusattona Despite the accumulating evidence of his approaching fall, It ik believed that Palacio will defer bis flight to the last moment. 1 ’• TIME AT VmiLADEiraiA. Om Million Dollars Goos Up la Smsx*. Philadelphia special; A million dollars gone up tn smoke and flames and nearly an entire square is consumed, is the record of the fire fiends work In Philadelphia. The territory devastated by the flames.ls bounded on the north by Samson street, on the south by Walnut street, on the east by Eighth street and on the west by Ninth street. In the block were the Central Theatre, now a smouldering ruin, and the historic old Walnut street Theater, which was not reached by the fire. The Times annex, which stood directly in the rear of the Central Theater, whore the flames originated, Is almost In ruins. In addition to the Times, the annex was occupied by a number of business firms, whose losses will be heavy. The “Devils Auction’ was being played at the Central Theater and the curtain was just about to be rung up when the alarm of fire was given, A panic ensued and 130 persons are reported Injured, but none killed. One hundred of the injured were taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital and thirty to the Jefferson Hospital. WILL CBEAPEN fIK. Welsh Manufacturer* Must Coma to America. London special: The severe depression in the tin-plate trade of South Wales is leading to a new departure. The people are beset with two difficulties—the heavy tax imposed by the McKinley tariff and the opposition by the Welsh workfben to the introduction of automatic machinery 'by which alone the local industry can be properly carried out. The result is that three, if’not four, of the tin-plate manufacturers of the Swansea and Llanelly districts are making arrangements to construct their wor|cs at first for a finishing department only, in New York and Pennsylvania and importing their own block plates from this country, like American finishers are doing at present, and employing for the final processes the same tinning machinery as is protected by their American rivals. DOUBLE MURDER. An Old Farmer aad Hit Wife- Shot by Unknown Parties. Guerdon (Ark.) special: A well-to-do ' farmer, named Wetherton, and his wife were murdered while on a visit to the house of some relatives near Amity. ' The family were awakened in the night 1 by some one in the room, but before the ' Wethertons could identify the intruders 1 two shots were fired and the assassin es- ! caped. When the remainder of the family reached the room they found Mr. ' Wetherton lying dead on the floor with a ■ bulletin his brain. Mrs. Wetherton was lying, across the bed. She had been shot in the left breast and died a few minutes ■ later. There is no clue to the murderer , nor is there any motive known for the , deed. ( Illinois Democrats. The Illinois Democratic State Conven- ' tion met at Springfield and nominated 1 the following ticket: J. P. Altgeld, for ’ Governor; Lieutenant Governor, James B. Gill; Secretary of State, W. H. Heinrichson; Auditor, David Gore; Treasurer, Rufus M. Ramsay; Attorney General, Morris T. Maloney, ■ < The resolutions- instruct delegates to ( the National Convention to vote as a , unit according to the decision of a ma- j jority of the delegates, and to present j the name of John M. Palmer to the National Convention as tbe presidential ■ candidate of Illinois,in case it should ap- , pear that a man west of the Allegheny i Mountains is to be made the candidate , of the democracy, and to use all honorable means to secure his nomination. Blaine’* Earnest Argument. A great deal of interest was created at i the Capitol recently by the appearance i of Secretary Blaine before the Senate Committee on Commerce to make an ar- i gument against the landing of a French 1 cable on the shores of South Carolina and Virginia. He said that negotiations had been pending with Brazil for two years in regard to securing a concession for a cable company controlled in the United States. The granting of this privilege to a foreign country would be authorizing a practical monopoly. The Secretary was seemingly in excellent health, and it was apparent to those who heard his argument that the gentleman from Maine had not lost any portion of his physical or mental powers. Ditched "the Train* Train wreckers ditched the north bound California express a mile north of Myrtle Creek Station, Oregon. Two ties were placed crosswise on the track and the engine, mail and express cars left the rails. Engineer Morris jumped and escaped with cuts and bruises on the head. Fireman Galling was caught between the tender and tank and had both legs broken. He was badly scalded by steam. The track is torn up for 200 feet There is no clue to the perpetrators, but robbery is believed to have been the motive. The train fell toward the bank. On the other side is a steep slope down to the river, and if the train had jumped in that airection the loss of lite would have been heavy. , Imported Irom Indiana. Dandridge (Tenn.) special: Jackson, Sevier, and Knox counties are in a panic over the operations of White Caps who are said to havq a trl-county organization, with supreme and subordinate officers and lodges. The active leader, or manager, who is employed on a salary, is said to have been brought by contract from Indiana, where he was familiar with White Cap methods. So far, about fifty persons have been whipped. Amongst them was a minister, Bev. Mr. Jenkins. Eight or ten women have been chastised within a few days, and some of the leading citizens have been warned. Several of those whipped are in a precarious condition. Cruelty to Convicts* Vicksburg (Miss.) special: Indisputable proof of cruelty to convicts has finally been discovered. W. H. Fosseleman of Woodville, who, with 100 other convicts, was leased to Brit Lee of Washington County, was frightfully beaten by a negro by orders of the overseer and narrowly escaped death. Others of the same squad were almost killed. Manager Jenkins of the State Prison, and R. G. Walt, who is in charge of the convicts, have been ordered before the State Board of Control. Walt will be indicted and Jenkins severely dealt with. An Incendiary Druggist There is much excitement at Chase, Mich., over the arrest of Druggist Ross, who is charged with starting the fire that destroyed the business section of that town. It is said that twenty-five men have expressed regrets that he was not lynched the night of the fire. Defendant waived examination, sorihe evi--1 dence'against him has not yet been made public. His bail was fixed at SI,OOO. • Wiped Ont by fire. Chase, a Lake County, Mfch./vtllugo, ' with nearly 1,200 inhabitants, was almost wiped out of existence by fire.

Twenty-fits buildings oa Main street, including every business place In town and five dwellings were destroyed. The lose is heavy. A Startling Dlseomry. A startling discovery was made at Tontogany, Ohio, recently. John Woodruff was. preparing to clean out an old well, when he found a quilt floating on top of the water. He took it out and unfoldedit and found a baby about 9 months old in it It was fully developed, and of good size. The quilt was partly burned, and looks as though some one had tried to burn the child and failed, so they resorted to the old well. There are strong suspicions of the guilty party, but nothing certain is known. William A* tor** WIU. The will of Wm. Astor leaves the bulk ot his fortune to his son, John Jacob, whose wife was Miss Willing of Philadelphia. Mr. Astor’s entire fortune amounts to S7O,<XX),OOO. Each of the three daughters will receive $2,700,000, and when the other bequests are distributed there will be in the neighborhood of $60,000,000 to be handed over to John Jacob. The widow will receive an annual income while she lives of $500,000. At her death this will go to her son, John Jacotx Train Wraoksdi The Nashville and Hopkinsville passenger train was struck from the rear by a freight train near Gutherie, Ky. Charles Wallace, a fireman of that place, was killed and Engineer Norman Hiltner of Nashville, Tenn., sustained a badly mashed leg. An unknown negro, who was stealing a ride, was killed. Seven passengers were hurt, but none seriously. They were taken to Gutherie for medical attention. The crew of the freight train is to blame. i , - : V~ A ©25,000 Fir®. A fire occurred in the State University building at St, Paul, Minn., which occasioned the sending of alarming reports which the facts do not warrant An amateur entertainment was in progress when the front of the stage was found to be on fire, a leaky gas jet being the cause. The fire spread to the roof, which burned, and the top floor was gutted. Tne spectators were cool and dispersed with nothing approaching a panic. The loss was $25,000 and covered by insurance. Bate-Balt Umpire Shot, A row over an amateur game of baseball at Columbus, Ohio, nearly resulted in murder. Charles Dumont pitcher for one of the clubs, objected to a decision by the umpire, who was a boy named Willie Miller. A quarrel ensued in which Dumont drew a 22-calibre revolver and fired five shots at Miller. Four of the bullets never touched him. but the fifth lodged in the calf of his leg inflicting a painful but not dangerous wound. Dumont fled and the police are scouring the city for him. Data of the Indi aiaa'Kepublican State Coaventlon Changed. The Republican State Committee of Indiana bar changed the date of their convbhtion from June 28 to June 23, and notices to that effect have been sent the chairman of every county committee in the State. The original date being the 28th, which falls on Tuesday, and the new date being the 23d, it will be observed that the day of the week upon which the convention will be held will be Thursday. - Through Pneumatic Tubes. The Postoffice Departmenthas selected St Louis as the place on which tomake the test for carrying mail matter through pneumatic tubes. A double pneumatic tube, eaeh four inches in diameter, will be laid from the central postoffice to a point distant about three thousand feet. The mail matter is to be borne in small carriages, which will make the journey in one miuute. Work will be commenced on the tubes in a few days. Burned Off Hi« Ear* Masked burglars entered the home of John Daily, an aged pensioner, in Hollidaysburg. Pa., and demanded money. He refused to giv«f them any and they at once began to torture him. Knives and pins were stuck in his neck, and one ear was burned off with a candle. The thieves finally left him lying senseless on the floor, and so far have escaped capture. Daily died as a resullt of the treatment Mangled Beyond Recognition. 1 While miners were drawing pillars in a coal mine near Frazcrsburg. Ohio, the roof fell, catching George Neathers and a man named Alexander. Neathers was crushed into an unrecognizable mass. But Alexander escaped with slight injuries. ■Civil Engineer Drowned.

GRANT’S FAME IN STONE NEW YORK HAW BEGUN ITS monument. • Oeremoaiee of * Meet Bbtborato aa« I«n---peelng Character-FrMid.nl Harriesm Wield. thteGoMa* flbwwwt-Appearanoe es the Complete* Mte,. m ..t. Honor teCteteCttML The oomer-atone of the nation’s monument to Gen. U. 8. Grant in Riverside Park, New York, was laid with becoming ceremonies. Ths weather was all that could be deaired, a cloudless sky, bright sunshine, tempered by a moderate breeze blowing over the Hudson River. Long before the time fixed for the dedication oeremontes the immense grand stand, erected in close proximity to where the monument will • stand and partly surrounding the oomor-stone. began to fill with those who had been Invited and had tickets, and by noon it was computed that there were fully eight or nine thousand persons on the stand. The large number of ladies, In their bright and showy spring costumes, heightened the already brilliant apeotado. Thia crowded stand, with about three thousand veterans of the O. A. R. formed in line around and about the reating-plaoe of . their dead hero, with the charming scenery along the Hudson River and the Palisades in the distance, formed a picture which haa seldom If ever been surpassed if equaled. Shortly after noon the Presidential party, escorted by Troop A, of the Na- > tional Guard of New York, left the 1 Fifth Avenue Hotel and proceeded to 1 Riverside Park. In the carriages were I President Hartl son, Mrs. Grant and i members of her family, Secretary Fos- < ter, Secretary Rusk, Secretary Elkins, 1 Postmaster General Wanamaker, Pri- i vate Secretary Halford and many other i distinguished guests. As the Presi- < dential party approached the tomb the 1

IR VIEW OS THE COMPLETED TOMB.

United States Band played “Hail to the Chief,” while heads Were uncovered, handkerchiefs waved and the Immense throngs shouted their huzzas. After a few momenta* quiet Rev. Dr. John Hall offered up a prayer, which was listened to by all in deferential silence. The President of Hie Grant Monument Association, General Horace Porter, then delivered an address detailing In brief the doing# of tie association md their status sinoe the inception of the project. The event of the day was the laying of the corner stone by President Harrison. After putting mortar around "the stone with trowel that Superlndent Brady had made for the occasion, the stone was lowered into position. The corner-stone box, made of copper, was - then filled with the relics which will be buried in it. They were: Constitution of the United State*. Declaration of Independence. Articles of confederation. The Bible. Memoirs of General Grant Memorial Day pamphlet. May 30 and 31, 188A A copy of Mayor Grant's'-proclamation regarding the Grant monument A new American flag. Medal* and coin* from the United States mint ' - J Various Illustrated and dally papers. President Harrison then briefly addressed the assemblage, after which the band played a selection of national airs. Chauncey M. Depew then stood up, giving the audience the signal for another tremendous outburst of cheering. Mr. Depew began by declaring ,that the predominant sentiment of General Grant was his family £ \ and his home. He g| shrank from display all his life, and would \l\ /*>pi have preferred being "kA* buried by the side of his father and mother, but appreciating the ■ \ olalm of 1110 countr yupon his memory, chose New York as chauncey m. db- his final resting-place, p«w. because it was the metropolis of the country. He made but one condition, and that was that his loyal wife should be buried by his side. He would have no monument, however grand, which would separate Ijim from her during thb-unnumbered yeairs of the hereafter. Continuing, the orator said: New York, In accepting this "bequest of' General Grant, has &sumed a sacred trust. Upon no municipality .and Its-citizens was ever devolved a more solemn duty. From the tenderest motives, he took from the national government the task which it would most loyally and lovingly have performed, and Intrusted it to this great city. Tbe whole country are enlisted In the army of reverence and sorrow, but he appointed New York the guard ot honor. Let the monument which will rise upon this cornerstone be worthy of the magnitude of the metropolis and the grandedrof the subjects General Grant need* no stately shaft or massive pile to perpetuate his memory. The republic is his monument, and its history during what must always be its most critical and interesting period will be the story of his deeds. Mr. Depew then sketched General Grant’s career, and summed up his character Rs follows: No man can be truly great unless he is alio magnanimous. Grant wa* the most self-sacrificing of friend* and tbe most generous of foe*. “Unconditional Surrender, I move immediately on yourworks.” were the Conditions Grant offered Buckner at Donelson, but In the darkness of the night he entered the prisoner’* tent and said: “Buckner, you must have lost everything; take my purse." He had been for months making toilsome effort* to break through the confederate lines, but after the surrender of their defender* he refined to go within them. Ihe failure to capture the confederate capital had exhausted tbe resources and Impaired the reputation of all th* general* who had preceded him, but When It lay prostrate at hl* feet, he sternly declined the triumph of an entry at the head of his victorious army. It was difficult to win hl* confidence, bdt when once gained, hl* heart, hl* efforts, and his fortune were at command. Neither secret nor open enemies, neither direct charges nor anonymous revelations could disturb bls' friendship for anyone he had one® trusted. To Sherman »ad Sheridan he gave unstinted praise. He was so entirely free from envy or jealdfiSjG so enthusiastic in hl* admiration of tbfise llfiu-

i tenants, that be awardsd to them the i larger thars ot credit for the ultimate triumph ol tbs Union cause. But these same qualities, so creditable to his ingenuoui 1 and gene roue 'nature, became the Chief source* of hl* ml*tak*a and troubles when he wa* treading with untrained *tep* amid ths quicksands ot political and bustne** life. The culmlnatln* triumph ot Gen. Grant wa* 'that be received and returned the sword of Lee. The one act typified the victory anif perpetuity ot the Union and the other that its defendere forever after would be tboee who with equal end une3 usled courage had fought to save and to eatroy it. Grant’s claim* upon th* gratitude ot bls countryman are many. He will have peculiar remembrance for having, with President Lincoln, immadlateiy recognized that the republic must live m the father* had founded ih The moat brilliant jewels in. his crown of glory will be that, though a conqueror In the field, he counseled through life, and advised with his pen When in his last hours bls voice had failed*, peace and reconciliation among his oountrymen. and that, though a soldier Prssldent. he successfully demonstrated the justice and wisdom of settling dbputes smong nations not by war, but Dy Mbitration. The tendrils ot loyalty and lovp stretch from this monument to every soldier's grave In the land. Thia Imperial city proudly and affectionately assumes the custody of his remains The people called from th* absorbing cares ot life by bls natal day and this solemn ceremony take np again their burdens with lighter hearts and brighter hopns for their children and their children's children because of the career and the deeds of Ulysses 8. Grant On resuming his seat it was several minutes before quiet could be restored, the repeated shouting and clapping of, hands being almost deafening. Dr. John Hall then pronounced the benediction, and the services ended by the firing of a salute of twenty-one guns from the United States ship Miantonomah, stationed In the Hudson. The ceremony was marked as being without pomp or ostentation; in fact, such a one as the deceased general would have desired. There was no marked martial display, but here and there in the crowd was a sprinkling of officers of the army

and navy. The whole ceremony was civil from every point of view. The Monument. The Grant Monument, in which the remains of the General are to lie, has been materially changed in the past month, but as far as the exterior is concerned it remains as impressive in appearance and design as at first planned. Many of the central columns within have been eliminated from the plans, and a good deal of the panel work will be omitted. The plan of the crypt has also been materially changed, and as now designed will be simply a circular opening protected by railings above, but without the ornamental work first planned for the sides. The designer of the monument, Mr. John H. Duncan, has reluctantly made the changes advocated tn 'the line of economy, and expressed himself grateful for the fact that the liberality of the subscribers ' has permitted the exterior, of the monument to remain practically unchanged, but for some slight modifications at the southern entrance. It is now about seven years since the death of Gen. Grant, and during that time for the erection of this monument has been going on slowly. It took six years to collect the first $150,000 —less than half the amount needed—and it has taken the reorganised committee little over six weeks to ME I IN THB CBYPT. Insure the collection of the remainder. Never in the history of similar movements has work undertaken under such disheartening circumstances been so enthusiastically and successfully concluded, and the praise must go to Gen. Horace Porter and his splendidly managed departments. Last year, on April 27, he was the orator of the day at Riverside Park, and his words then presaged that he was ready and willing to undertake what other men had failed to accomplish. He was made the President of the reorganized association, which was enlarged by legislative "enactment, and night and day since that time he has spoken enthusiastically to meetings of citizens of every trade and calling, and has worked with a generalship worthy of the cause he has put his heart and soul in. . We all enjoy doing that which we can do well; and. one reason why the hours outside our work are so often meager In the pleasure they yield is because we attempt a dozen things, none of which we successfully accomplish. Os course the result must be unsatisfactory. If we will but submit to some degree of self-discipline in a single direction where we are pleasure we shall derive will be more than doubled, and the effective results will be an added happiness. Mr. Ruskin says it is not enough that the function of art be well imagined; it must task the beholder also to imagine well, and this bo imperatively that, If he does not choose to rouse himself to meet the work, he will not taste it or enjoy It in; any wise. The NeW Legislature has adjourned. •

Ms the walls,” said the boy to his father, “were as . thick as those in m|b picture, there must be sqme remains of them, and I shall excavate them some day. Another trivial event gave the boy an impulse toward his l|te work. He was working as a grocer’s boy from early in the morning' until late at night, sweeping the shop, selling herings and candles. One day a drunken miller entered the shop and recited a hundred lines of Homer in the original Greek. The boy did not understand a word of it, but he was so affected by the rhythmic cadence that he wept, and paid the man to repeat the lines three times. .From that moment he prayed to God that he might learn Greek. He was next helped tp the reallxte tion of his boyish ideal by two apparent accidents. In lifting a cask too heavy for him he strained himself, and could work no more in the grocer’s shop, lie went to sea as a cabin boy. He was so poor that he sold hi* coat to buy a blanket. The vessel was wrecked on the coast of • Holland. A friend secured him a sit- ’ uation in a counting-room, at a salary of $162 a year. He spent half the small salary on hlsHtudles, lived in a garret on ryemeal porridge, and mastered English in six months. Then he learned French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian agd Portuguese. His knowledge of languagesgot him a situation as correspondent and bookkeeper in the office of an Amsterdam banker. A Spaniard brought in al bill which no one could read; young Schliemann translated it, and the • ' banker promoted him. He began, the study of Russian; subsequently he became a Russian merchant, and amassed a fortune. Then he engaged a Greek teacher. His method ot study was original. He began by studying modern Greek. He procured a modern Greek translation of “Paul and Virginia,” and read it through, comparing every work with its equivalent in the French original. When he had finished his task, he knew at least one-half the Greek words the book contained. He repeated the task, and then knew all the words, and thus acquired a moderrf Greek vocabulary without using a dictionary. In sir weeks he had mastered the difficulties of modern Greek; then he applied himbelf to the ancient Greek. Within three months he had learned sufficient to understand some of the classical Greek authors, and especially Homer, whom he read and re-read ' with enthusiasm. Before beginning the work of his life he made a journey round the world, and studied archaeology in Paris. Then, With a well-stored mind, he began those investigations round Troy .which has been the dream of his life. His success made him the great excavator of modern days.

Paper is made mostly from waste materials, and it enters into the composition of a thousand things, from a cigarette wrapper to a car wheel. Blood Is manufactured ih,to door knobs, shutters and doors are ‘made from wood pulp, sawdust is a most useful article, dust and dirt are transformed into multitudinous building materials, while the waste products of the gas house are more valuable, if possible, than the original substance. It was formerly supposed that clay was useful only for embankments, and for making bricks or pottery.

A desperate burglar who was hanged for killing a man whose house he had been tliscovered robbing, told! a police official that the only time he actually felt frightened at finding himself face to face with one of the inmates of the house he was ‘ <crackIng" was when a slight delicate woman came running down the stairs, and putting her hand qp his arm, Inquired in a terrified tone,— “What’s the matter? Is there a burglar in the house? Oh, protect me!” In her terror she did not think of him as the robber, and the evident comfort it gave her to find some one to protect her afforded him a new sensation. He was staggered for a moment by the situation, but hearing other Inmates up-stairs, who had evidently been aroused by her loud exclamatlons, he quickly said.— “Certainly, ma’am, I’ll protect you • —have no fear. Just stand here behind the door while I look In the kitchen where the noise seems to come from.” £ “Oh, thank yon,” she replied, as he slipped out into the kitchen, picked up hisjihoes, and vanished, leaving the booty piled upon the floor in a table cloth.
