jpEADLY WORK OF CHEESE AT MANSFIELD, OHIO. jin discriminate Work In Seed Distribution *■ —Negroes Born for Revenge—New Brunswick Town Again Swept by Fire—Kansas • Family Wholly Wiped Out. What Was in the Cheese? The wholesale case of poisoning by the eating of cheese In Mansfield, Ohio, is much worse than was at first supposed. Nearly every person In twenty-five families who purchased and ate of the cheese la now afflicted and for twelve persons there Is slight hope of recovery. It seems 110 persons sampled the cheese, which was manufactured near the city.

Health Officer Reed procured two pounds of the cheese and sent it to the health department at Columbus for analysis. WASTE OF PUBLIC MONEY. jkw-rctary Morton on Seed Distribution and Experiment Stations. - According to a Washington correspondent Secretary Morton, in his forthcoming geport, will make two Important recom-

mendations, coqtemplating radical changes in the method of doing some of the work of the Department of Agriculture. “There is a considerable sum of money expended annually by this department in doing work that is but a duplication of that done elsewhere, and

that, too, largely at Government expense,” •aid Secretary Morton. “Garden seeds 'are distributed indiscriminately without regard to locality or any knowledge as to whether they are adapted to the country to which they go or even whether the people who receive them have any use for or ■want them. It should be the object of experiment stations to test the needs of the •oil, and if there is any public demand for seeds that thrive and produce well to supthem from the fund which the Government pays them. True, this would prevent Congressmen from flooding their districts with such packages, but it would be is long step in the direction of economy, *nd at the same time subserve all public needs.” • Whole Family Drowned. Word has been received from Englewood, Stark County, Kansas, of the drowning of William Waddell, his wife and four chilBren, while In camp on the border awaiting the opening of the Cherokee strip.

PARIS UNDERGUARD. Streets Patrolled by Troops Under Orders to Shoot to Kill. Paris advices,say that rioting still continues It has gone so far that It la Impossible to say where It will end. Marshal Saussier, the military governor of Paris, has warned all the garrisons to be in readiness at a moment’s notice. M. Loze’s resignation, which he tenderod, as prefect of police has been refused by the Government, The Latin quarter is wrecked in all directions. From latest returns It is estimated that one policeman was killed, forty policemen Injured, and 150 rioters severely wounded. A mob of students surrounds the Hospital de la Charlte to watch that the body of Nurger, the clerk who was killed by the police by mistake, shall not he removed. They are determined to make a demonstration. which the authorities are anxious to prevent. Barricades have been thrown up in various parts of the city and defended by students when the police charged. Traffic Is suspended on the Boulevard St. Germain. Quai Voltaire, and Rue St Peres. All the public buildings are guarded by military. The startling suddenness with which the scuffle between the students and the police has developed Into bloody rioting causes the government anxiety. The original cause of the trouble has been quite lost sight of in the general rioting in which all the scum of southern Paris, re-enforced by the lawless vagabonds from Montmartre. Belleville, and other thieves’ rookeries north of the Seine, are taking the yart of the students. The agitation was solely caused by the manager of the students’ ball being fined for allowing girls to appear in a state little removed from nudity. The students, however, have generally withdrawn from the disorder, and the issue is now between the Paris canaille and the police.

CARAVELS IN CHICAGO. Models of the Colnmbug Ships Now at the World’s Fair. The Santa Marla, tho Plnta. and the Nina, tho long-looked-for Spanish caravels, are now in Chicago waters, having arrived Friday morning, and, anchored off the shore of the white city, they may he seen by all visitors. The vessels are exact reproductions of thoso used by Columbus, and the journey of 6,000 miles has been made that they might he exhibited at the World's Fair. They arrived at Jackson in tow, with sails furled, and were surrounded by the steam and sailing craft which acted as an escort. The revenue cutter Michigan, on board of which were the Spanish Commissioners, Signors Tocques and Vera, in brilliant uniform, was in the lead, and behind and at either side of the caravels were the other craft bearing the Mayor and City Council, distinguished citizens and yachtsmen, who went out to meet the commander of the little fleet whose voyage from the old world has been watched with such keen interest by the people of this country. At the grounds a splendid greeting awaited them. * JUDGE It LATCH FORD IS DEAD. The United States Supreme Court I.oses One of Its Members. ~ Justice “Samuel E.

The several Cabinet members will not prepare their reports on the transactions of their departments under the usual time at the beginning of September.

Shortly after noon Charles Miller, the negro who murdered the Ray girls, was burnt to death at tbe stake. The deliberate execution of tbe brutal murderer was witnessed by crowds who came in all night long from various points. It was an orderly multitude, and the frightful fate of the man was looked upon as coolly as if it had been a decree of the court. Regulating Italy's Banks. Debate on tbe bank bill in the Rome Chamber of Deputies was tumultuous, but. the bin was passed. Boy Killed. Ralph Hunter, aged 13 years, was killed at Norwalk, Ohio, by the accidental discharge of a gun. Short Crop of Cotton. Reports which cover thoroughly the whole cotton-raising section of the United States make a very discouraging showing

for thl* year's crop, It is already certain that tho crop has beon badly damaged by unfavorable weather during tho past six weeks, that It has got a poor start, It being Injured by Insects and disease, and cunnot amount to an average yield. More serious still Is the prospect that further adverse weather, which may fairly be expected at this season, catching the belated crop in its present condition, will reduce the yield' still further. A few sections In Florida and Louisiana seem to be excepted from the fate that has overtaken the cotton territory generally, hut they are not extensive enough to make any material difference In the crop as a whole. SEIZES A WHARF. Oakland's Mayor Tears Up the Southern Pacific Tracks and Starts a Fight. The action of the Mayor and Street Superintendent of Oakland, Cal, In tearing up the Southern Pacific tracks and removing the fence built across the lower end of Broadway Is precisely similar to that of the Mayor of Long Island City, who tore up the track of an offending railroad. Broadway Is Oakland’s main thoroughfare, and Mayor Pardoe recently came to the conclusion that the street should be open to the water front, so that If any opposition ferry company wanted to land passengers there they could do so. The Mayor counts on the Chicago water front decision to sustain his action, hut the railroad attorneys declare that the United States Circuit Court has decided that the Southern Pacific has a title to this bit of water front. Meanwhile the opposition ferry between Oakland and ’Frisco is doing a land-office business, as it has cut rates from 15 cents to 5 cents.

IMPROVEMENT SHOWN. Influences Which Contribute to a Better Feeling in Business Circles. R. G. Dun & Co’s Weekly Review of Trade says: The tone in business circles has perceptibly Improved. This Is partly because banks have been made more hopeful of an early financial settlement by the calling of an extra session of Congress, partly because of some recovery In prices from the sudden depression which fallowed tho decision to close tbo India mints, and partly because crop prospects have clearly Improved, in spite of dismal reports from some sections. On the whole, there has been a little better distribution of goods to consumers, and perhaps the countermanding of orders given some months agp is not quite as frequent as it was last week. The more hopeful symptoms aro gladly noted, but while tho causes of depression remain it would be rash to calculate that difficulties will not reappear. Soon large sums of money will be required to move the crops and in the present stale of money markets some stringency is not improbable. Midwinter Fair la Assured. The executive committee of the California Midwinter Exposition organized at San Francisco by election of the following office/s: President and General Manager, M. H. de Young; Vice President, Irwin C. Stump; Treasurer, P. M. Lillenthal, of the Anglo-Callfornia Bunk A. Alexander: Contributions are flowing in, und the Mayor will increase the finance committee to fifty in order to help ihe work. A site will be selected In the Gulden Gate Park.
