A Valuable Dime.

Whoever has a dime of ISO 4, coined by the San Francisco mint, lias a coin for which $5 has already been offered, and when all the facts are known regarding its scarcity it is not unlikely that it will command a much higher premium. Inquiry at the mint elicited the information that during the fiscal year of 1894 only twenty-four dimes were coined at the San Francisco mint. How this came about was told by Chief Clerk Robert Barnett. “All undercurrent subsidiary coins, viz., those containing other than the design now being used when received at the sub-treasury, are not again allowed to go into circulation, but are sent to the mint to be recoined with the current design. In the course of the year 1894 we received a largo sum in these coins, but having an ample stock of dimes on hand, it was not intended to coin any of that denomination in 1894. However, when nearly all of this subsidiary coin bullion had beeu utilized we found on our hands a quantity that would coin to advantage only into dimes, and into dimes it was coined, making just twenty-four of them. “My attention was first drawn to the matter particularly by the receipt of a letter from a collector somewhere East requesting a set of the coins of 1894. In filling this order I found there were no dimes of that date on hand. Subsequently I received quite a number of similar .lettjers, and in each case was, of unable to furnish the, dimes. “Plenty of dimes were coined that year at Philadelphia and New Orleans mints, bHt there are many collectors who accumulate the coinage of each mint, as each has its distinguishing mark. Those coined here hear a letter ‘S’ under the eagle. New Orleans used, the letter ‘O’ and Carson City the letter ‘C,’ while Philadelphia coins are identified by tlie absence of the letter. “We receive each year about fifty requests from coiu collectors for coins, mostly for those of silver.”—San Francisco Call.

NO BLOOMERS THERE.

How the Toing Men of Birmingham Forestalled the Craze. The young men of Birmingham, Ala., took & very novel and effective means of discouraging bloomers. The South has not taken to bloomers to any great extent Indeed, bloomers are still something of a rarity, except in the very largest cities and even there they are having an up-hill fight as witness the Atlanta crusade. The Birmingham young men heard that some of the young Indies had determined to wear bloomers when wheeling. They did

not wait for the enemy to make the first onslaught. They hired the biggest, fattest, most ungainly negress they could find, wrestled with her for a week or more getting her able to sit upright on one of the young men’s bicycles, with some one to hold her on. Then they dressed her in a most grotesque bloomer cpstume, and started her through the streets of the town. She wore bright blue bloomers, trimmed ’with broad white braid, bright yellow stockings, and a red sweater. She was able after the first spin to go it alone, and every day for a week she trundled her hideousness through the principal streets of the city. The bloomer girls naturally did not dare show themselves in their new costumes while the negro bloomerite was abroad, and they didn’t wear them after the negress had retired from the ring. At last accounts the negro bloomerite was the only one of the class that had ventured abroad iu Birmingham.

The expenditure of England for drinks is estimated at $900,000,000 a year. At Buluwayo a company libs been formed to explore the ancient ruins in Mashonaland for treasure. The system of canals contemplated by Russia will have a total length of 1,000 miles and will unite the Baltic and Black Seas. A petrified frog found in an Elmira, N. Y., stone quarry in 1883 was two feet eight inches In length and weighed over 100 pounds. Above Mannheim the Rhine is to be ipade navigable as far as Strasburg. As a canal will be inadequate, important changes must be made in the river bed. During the current autumn a monument is to be unveiled at Osteel; in East Friesland, in memory of the discoverers of the sun’s spots, David and Johann Fabricius. An epidemic broke out among the silk worms of Spain during the middle of this century, which for a time threatened to destroy the entire European silk culture. For swearing in members in the House of Commons the revised version of tlie Bible is used for Protestants, the Douai version for Catholics and a copy in Hebrew for Jews. During the past year American defaulters and embezzlers got away with over $30,000,000, and within eleven years the amount thus appropriated foots up over $130,000,000. A German firm has just brought out a glove for gentlemen, the specialty of which is that a small mirror, about the size of a half dollar, is inserted in the palm of the baud. There is talk in London of the invention of a marvelous electric battery, iu which zinc is discarded for a material costing only one-twentieth as much, and polarization made needless.

Jewsharps are made principally in Boccorio, the seat of the industry since the sixteenth century. A good workman can make seven dozen in a day, and simple as the little instruments are, no less than twenty tools are employed in their manufacture, Including anvil, hammer, tongs, and so on. There are, moreover, twenty-four distinct operations. A rather novel feature was performed recently at the Diamond Ice Company’s works iu Newport A plate of ice was stood on edge Just as it was taken out of the tank where it had been frozen, and behind this some half a dozen persons, interested in the company, took their positions, while on the other side a photographer posed his camera and made an exposure. The features could be seen so distinctly through the Ice that there is little question as'to the success of the operation. In tlie neighborhood of Riley, Kan., is an ordinary drilled well about 130 feet deep, put down several years ago. A peculiar roaring sound comes from the well, and is much louder at certain periods than at others. On removing tlie flat rock that covers it, one Is met by a whiff of ice cold air, which rushes out with such velocity that a knotted handkerchief or piece of cornstalk Is thrown to the height of several feet Almost every winter water freezes in it to a depth of about forty feet and the piping has been buret a number of times by freezing at that depth.

DEATH IN THE CRASH.

AWFUL DISASTER AT A CHURCH CORNER STONE LAYING. Platform Gives Way and 300 Are Precipitated Into a Pit—Parochial School la Turned Into a Hoapitai— Forty Persons Injured. Many May Die. A frightful disaster plunged Lorain. Ohio, into mourning Sunday, and what was meant to be an incident of glad rejoicing became in an instant a catastrophe of appalling horror. One child was killed outright, ten persons were fatally injured and between thirty and forty others were seriously hurt by the sinking of a section of temporary platform built on rotten timbers. The accident occurred at the outset of the ceremonious laying ol' a corner stone for the new St. Mary’s Roman Gatholic Church, and just after the priests had hushed a of 3,000 people into solemn silence. The list of dead and injured is as follows: Killed: Mary Weber, 3-year-old daughter of Mat Weber, of Sheffield. Fatally injured: Miss Kate Deidrick, of Sheffield; both legs broken and hurt internally. Mrs. John Eustin, aged lady, of Lorain; left leg crushed and chest injured. John Feldkamp, of Lorain; hurt internally. Katie Griffin. 8 years old, of Lorain; left leg crushed and hurt internally. Mrs. Michael Kelling, middle aged, of Lorain; injured internally. Rosa McGee, 3 years ojd, of Lorain; skull fractured. Mrs. Mary McGrath, of Lorain; left leg crushed and hurt internally. Mrs. Margaret Maekert, ofe Lorain; hurt internally. : Mrs. Cornelius , Sullivan, of Lorain; spine injured and left leg crushed. Mary Sieder, of Lorain, aged lady; chest crushed and hurt internally. Seriously hurt: Col. W. I. Brown, leg and arm bruised. Mrs. William Burgett, of Lorain; hurt internally. Mrs. M. Bruce, of Hoganville; left ankle broken. Nellie Dollard, of Lorain; head cut. John Eustin, of Lorain; back hurt. Mrs. John Fox, of Sheffield; both legs broken. Mrs. Mary Latimer, of Carlisle Center; right leg crushed. John Martin, of Lorain; left leg broken. Mrs. Mary O’Keefe, of Lorain; hurt internally, and leg will have to ,bq amputated. William Ryan, of Lorain; right leg broken. George Theobald, 3 years old; head cut. Nicholas Wagner, leg bruised, rPlatform Was Crowded. The foundations of the church are extended about ten feet above the bottom of the unfinished basement. It was on these foundation walls that a large platform had been built, on which the ceremonies were to be held. From an early hour in the morning until after noon people had been gathering on this platform, anxious to secure a point of vantage from which the services of the church could be seen and heard. When the reverend fathers took their places on the platform at 1 o’clock fully a thousand people were standing or sitting on it. The great majority of these were women and children. Four thousand others were grouped about the place, all within earshot. Just as Mousignore Boss, of Cleveland, the chief Roman Catholic dignitary present, raised his hand to bring the audience to quiet, a sound of splitting timbers threw the great crowd into consternation, which became panic when it was seen that a section of the temporary platform was sinking beneath the weight of 300 people huddled together upon it. The crasli came of a sudden and every one of the 300. save a dozen or two who scrambled off the edges, was precipitated into the pit ten feet below. The section which gave away was in two wings, and as it sank it formed a veritable death trap for the victims. The pit, with its slnntiu;: board walls, resembled an inverted roof of very steep slant, the gable ends being closed up by the stone foundation walls, and into this vortex were heaped men. women and children in one conglomerated, struggling heap, all in frightful, maddened panic. The sound of the crash was followed by a wail from the helpless victims as by an echo, and that again by a great cry from the spectators of the tragedy, who had been stricken into a panic and were well-nigh as helpless ns the victims themselves. The inevitable result of panic followed and doubled the horror, already groat enough. Those persons at the top of the mass escaped easily, but when the pit was partly emptied those victims who were still entrapped could not clamber up the steep sides, and they trampled upon each other like so many wild creatures, the strong men getting on top and the weaker women and children being crushed and beaten down beneath the greater weight. Three thousand people, lost to presence of mind, made a mad rush forward toward the pit, hoping to lend aid to the unfortunates, but as they pressed forward their weight threw at least fifty of those nearest the edge headlong into the pit. For at least fifteen minutes no aid was given, and nothing was done except in the way of making matters worse. Finally ropes and ladders were procured and handed down to the struggling victims. When assistance finally reached them and the rescue was well under way it was found that the dead body of one child layin the bottom of the basement, and that almost fifty other persons were lying bruised and mangled on the floor. Church Is Made a Morgue. The old Catholic church, a few rods distant from the new, was turned into a morgue and hospital, and some of the injured persons were carried into the parochial school next door and there made as comfortable as possible. Twenty physicians were on the scene within twenty minutes, and they were kept busy until sundown caring for the victims’ wounds. Several of the injured will die before daybreak. When tlie people had carried the dead and wounded into the old church and quiet had to some extent berit'Wktored among those who escaped the services of corner stone laying were resumed. The delay occasioned was not more (than thirty minutes, and the ceremonies laid down by the Roman Catholic ritual were Hot altered in any wise, except that they became a shade more solemn and to the devout hearers a trifle more impressive. Father Boss delivered the sermon. It was eloquent and impressive and was tinged with the somber hue of the dark tragedy that introduced it. Reference to the disaster was frequent throughout. The prayers and then the formalities in which Father Boss was assisted by six other priests also partook of the unwonted sadness, yet they were carried through with imperturbable purpose, though the audience was altogether unnerved and unstrung. Following prayers came the laying of the corner stone. When the ceremonies were finished the priests called at the extemporized hospitals and made inquiry concerning the condition of the victims—their parishioners. Wabash officials and employes at Toledo say there is no immediate danger of a strike on that system.

MUST ARBITRATE OR FIGHT.

Alleged Ultimatum by Olney to Knj- gland in the Veneznela Affair. Nothing hns been done by our Government with reference to the Venezuela boundary controversy since’ Secretary Gresham forwarded Minister Bayard a copy of the resolution passed by the late Congress urging Britain to submit the disputed question to arbitration. It is said, however, that Secretary Olney has prepared a note for Mr. Bayard to lay before Lord Salisbury that contains a more forcible expression of the views of the United States on this subject than has yet been officially uttered. This dispatch is of a positive and most unequivocal nature. As soon as it shall be placed befbre the British Government it will raise a question which can be settled only by the retreat of one or the other Government The stand taken by the United States in this dispatch is one which involves the oldest and most sacred tradition of the Government —the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. Secretary Olney’s dispatch is in substance a declaration in the most positive language that the United States will never consent to British occupation of the disputed territory in Venezuela unless that nation's right thereto is first determined by arbitration. While this declaration is substantially the same as that which was made some months ago, and to which the British Foreign Office replied with a statement that the English right to a part of the territory in question could be submitted to arbitration, the right to another part of the region in question could not be submitted to such arbitration. When Great Britain took this ground the question which President Cleveland and his advisers had to decide wns whether the United States is bound by tho Monroe doctrine and by her dignity to insist that all the territory in dispute should be submitted to arbitration, or whether by conceding England’s contention we should virtually abandon the field and leave Venezuela to tight it out alone. Few more serious questions huve presented themselves to the American administration within recent years. The decision of the President and his Cabinet advisers, after careful discussion and painstaking investigation, is that a bold and consistent policy shall be adopted, and this policy has been tormulated in the dispatch which Ambassador Bayard will lay before the British Government ns soon as he returns from his present journey to Scotland. The dispatch meets England’s rejoinder with a reaffirmation of the principle of original contention expressed in phrases which leave no possibility of doubt as to the meaning and earnestness of the United States. It does more. In polite, but firm nnd significant words. Secretary Olney declares it to be the belief of the United States that the territorial claims which Great Britain lias set up in Venezuela are in the nature of nn attempt to seize territory on the American continent to which she has no legal right.

CORN TO BURN.

The Garnering of 1893 Is Certainly a Monster. The Chicago Tribune thus suggests a novel way of disposing of the surplus corn crop: “On a 2,300,000,000 bushel crop the West will have corn to burn. According to a Kansas City dispatch a packing house company has already issued orders to its Wichita house to begin the use of corn for fuqj so soon as it can be bought fpr 12 cents a bushel. Last year the unusual and abnormal feature in the grain situation was the feeding of wheat to farm animals. Little attention was paid to it at first, except as an experiment, but in tho nggregate it amounted to millions of bushels, and was reflected in reduced stocks in farmers' hands. Burning of corn for fuel is less of a novelty than feeding of wheat to hogs, as ii lias been general enough on several occasions to attract a great deal of attention. Both are direct results of overproduction. The conditions in wheat which made stock-feeding practicable are all present in corn in an aggravated form to make its use as fuel in many sections feasible. The 1893 crop of corn is practically made, and without doubt it will be a record-breaker. On the basis of present prices corn will be cheaper than conl'for fuel duriug this fall and winter in States west of the Mississippi River. It is said that experiments have shown that a ton of dry corn will go further in producing steam than n ton of coal. The oil in tho corn makes it especially adapted for hot fires. It is clean to handle nnd almost smokeless. A prominent operator on the Board of Trade offered to forfeit SIO,OOO if he could not furnish the ‘Alley L’ road with corn for fuel at a less cost than that of the coni supply.” But on tho other hand reports from Nebraska, Kansas and lowa points, where in times of coal famine resort has been made to corn for fuel, state that its use is neither satisfactory 'nor profitable. The heat is so intense that the iron of furnaces and stoves is soon burned out- Then, too, it is not steady, which renders it impracticable for making steam.

INDIANS AVENGE THEIR DEAD.

Bannocks Kill Three Men Who Have Caused Them Trouble. J. W. Wilson, a scout und courier for the United States troops stationed iu Granite Canon, came into Idaho Kalis, Idaho, and reported the killing of Capt. Smith and two companions by Indiuns, in the lower end of Jackson’s Hole, on Thursday morning. Capt. Smith will be remembered as the man who precipitated the Indian fight last July in tho Jackson’s Hole country. At that time he killed one or two Indians, and was himself shot in the breast, but recovered. The Indians swore vengeance against Smith, and ns he was, with his two companions, prospecting along the south fork of the Snake River, at the outlet of Jackson’s Hole, he was ambushed and all three were shot and their bodies left on the river bank. Wilson was scouting in the vicinity at the time, and, with Constable Manning, saw the bodies, and immediately rode to Capt. Collins’ command, in Swan Valley, and reported the facts, leaving Manning in Camp Granite to Return to Jackson's Hole with the military, who immediately left for the scene of the killing. Wilson rode into Idaho Falls with dispatches. Wilson says there are about sixty Indiana in Hole. He believes that this will settle the matte?f and that the Indians, having avenged the death of their braves by killing the man they were after, will return to the reservation. The Indiana are Bannocks .from the Fort Hall reservation. Troops C and 11, Capt. Collins commanding, immediately started into the Hole, and will undoubtedly drive out the Indians, if found. At Yankton, S. D., the London and Yankton Development Company, representing $750,000 invested in fraudulent school bonds and tax certificates, issued by J. T. M.

Highest of til in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report Royal rSSS ABSOLUTELY PURE

Freaks of Electricity.

There are a great many phenomena in ordinary electrical work which electricians find it hard to explain, but nu entirely novel class of electrical demonstrations has been observed in the practice of transmitting currents over long distances at high voltages. On the circuits of the San Antonio canon transmission, California, where a current is sent about fifteen miles to Pomona and about thirty miles to San Bernardino, the line has been found, during hot, dry and cloudless weather, to be heav lly charged by the mere wind, and the rate in which the line was electrified in tills way was actually governed by the speed at which the wind was blowing. It was also noted that the substances blown agninst the wires at such times, such as dust, etc., gave up their charges to it also. When the high - tension current reaches the distributing stations at Fomona and San Bernardino its 10,000 volts are passed through a transformer and reduced to such a pressure as can be safely passed along the town circuits for lighting and power purposes. In effecting tills change the transformers give forth a continuous hum, which depends for its intensity on the number of alternations of the current. This forms an excellent Indicator for the attendant, whose attention is Instantly called to any change In the running conditions of the plant by the resulting change of tone. This variation in the sound from the transformers not only marks changes that are taking place, and that can be detected on the voltmeter, but also gives notice of coining changes before there is any other Indication of them. One afternoon a painful shock • was received on touching the lino at the canon end, drifting clouds and a strong wind being noticed in the valley. Again, while the engineer was using the telephone, he heard In it a report which was so sharp as to cause momeratary deafness. Later, after a moderate wind had been blowing for some time, loud reports were noticed on the telephone at long intervals. As the wind rose the reports came oftener. It was evident there was a discharge from the lines through the telephone, which was on n metallic circuit, and that it depended on the rate the wind blew.—Chicago Record.

Hail a Legal Mind.

There is a story told of the late Judge Strong's boyhood which shows that from the beginning his mind had a legal bent. Young Strong, it seems, purloined a piece of cake from the table spread for some festival occasion. No one discovered it until the family and guests were seated at the table, and then nothing was said. When everyone had gone and the father was alone with the youthful epicure, he said to him: “Don't you know, my son, that in taking that cake you broke one of God's commandments?” "Question 82,” responded the boy. who had the catechism at his tongue’s end. “ 'is any man able perfectly to keep tlie commandments of GodV ‘Answer 82. No mere man since tlie fall is able in this life to keep the commandments of God, but doth dally break them In thought, word and deed.’ ” It is not recorded what the reverend father said, but it must be admitted that the boy won his first case.

Not a Perfect Machine.

Rubinstein was undoubtedly Inaccurate at times. People who held scores through those long programs could find ihat out. He hot only embroidered even Beethoven, but ho would Invent Bach. What he Invented was probably quite as good as what he happened to forget, and always extremely Interesting. Still, It was not note for note, and that Is what the dullards gloated over. Bulow was moro accurate, but even Bulow forgot or manufactured a bar or two occasionally. But these, If spots, were spots In the sun, and certainly all Rubinstein did or left undone serve but to accentuate his Individuality and display his genius In new and startling lights.

Hats and Gendarmes.

The attachment of the French to familiar Insignia, costumes sad decorations has been shown lately in many picturesque ways. It has been proposed to abolish the red pantaloons which have been the distinguishing mark of French soldier* far many years. Statistics prove that these conspicuous uniforms cause troops to suffer a larger fatality than troops dad In sober blue. But the attachment of the French people to these gaudy garments Is so groat that the military administration has been no more able to got rid sf thorn than the British War Office has been able to substitute another color for the scarlet In which the British Infantry have fought for more than a century and a half. More recently still an order has been Issued depriving the French gendarmerie—a sort of military police—of the big hat which has been Its joy and pride, and putting In Its place s smaller and more convenient headgear. This, too, has raised a storm of opposition. A witticism has been going the rounds of the French press which represents the state of the public mind on this subject “To abolish the gendarmes' batet” exclaims an indignant dtisen. "How stupid! Better leave the hats and abolish the gendarmes!"
