A NAVAL FIGHTER GONE REAR ADMIRAL BRAINE, RETIRED, DIES OF HEART FAILURE.

Murphy rushed the fight from the start, and in the third round knocked McCausland down four tirfies. CORN AND COTTON SEED. One Reason Why the Price of the Greut Cereal Is Low. Mr. C. Wood Davis, in February Forum. About 1883, a canny Celt, having the commercial instinct well developed—mistakenly believing that lard was swine’s fat, ard knowing the supply of swine to be defective and the price high—saw visions of fortune in a “lard corner.” which he proceeded to "run” on the Chicago Exchange. In imagination, he was so successful as to consider that he had the great Chicago packers “in a hole;” this satisfactory opinion being based upon a knowledge of the number of swine reaching the packing centers, and upon the fact that of the live weight of an average porker no greater proportion than 14 per cent, could be profitably converted into lard. Hence the Celt was confident that he knew how much lard his victims—men who had obligated themselves to deliver property they did not own-could turn in on their "short contracts,” all of which were to mature in the "leafy month” of June.” But the harvest which the "cornerer” was preparing to gather turned to Dead sea fruit, when he found that an unending procession of tierces of lard was traveling from the packeries to his warehouses, and that he was called upon to receive, and pay the contract price for, more lard than he had ever dreamed of. An investigation developed the fact that the packers—who were the principal ’’shorts”—had discovered that a mixture of fat of swine, beef stearine and cotton-seed oil made a lard which would pass muster with all but experts, and serve admirably in filling "short sales.” Doubtless more or less cotton-seed oil, as a constituent of lard, had entered commercial channels before the “lard corner" which culminated in June, 1883; but the knowledge of such operations was confined to a very limited number of beneficiaries. The fact of such a use of the oil proved a veritable revelation to nearly everyone then engaged in the provision trade. * •* * If, as is probable, the urban population of the United States annually consumes lard, or commercial substitutes therefor, to tiie extent of 450,000,060 poui, Is; if on an average we have exported in recent years more than 500,<X)0,009 pounds, as shown bv the customs returns; and if the commercial supply of swine's fat averages some 500,0*9.000 pounds per annum—then it is obvious that some 450,000,000 pounds per annum result from admixtures impossible without the use of cotton-seed oil, and that, to this

extent, cotton-seed oil has destroyed the demand for the secondary products ot the cornfield. * * * The “lard refiners” have enabled us to palm off as swine’s fat—much of it upon Europeans—vast quantities of a cheap vegetable oil, and at the same time have afforded needed employment for our representatives at foreign courts in earnest efforts to convince European authorities that they ought not to impose the least obstacle to the importation of a lard so •‘refined” that a thousand tierces contain neither a single trichina nor yet an ounce of the fat of swine.

A considerable reduction in the prie% of certain grades of silk, it is announced by merchants in the trade, is likely to result from the starting of anew silk mill in this country. L. Duplan & Cos., of Lyons, France, are the promoters of the new plant. The firm, which had a large trade in this country several years ago, found after the Dingley tariff went into operation that it was unable to compete with our own manufacturers. To regain its old custom the firm now proposes to establish a plant . . South Bethlehem, Pa., where it will manufacture sill* which has heretofore not been made outside of Lyons. Members of the firm say that there will be no great lowering of prices and that a trade war is not contemplated, but that they do intend to lower prices to some extent. The firm is one of the largest in Lyons, and its products have for years been imported into this country. Under the Wilson tariff it was a strong competitor in this market, but when the Dingley tariff w T ent into effect its field here was ut once affected. The firm found that it could not hope to regain its old place under the new tariff, and so began looking for a site for mills in the United States. With this project in mind the firm cnd its representatives in this city formed the Duplan Silk Company. Suitable property was purchased in South Bethlehem. The new concern hopes to put its silk on sale early in April. At first only chappie silk, a common grade, will be manufactured, but inside of six months all sorts of fine material will be included in the output. The new mills will aim to supply the American trade alone, and none of the silk is to be sent out of the country. It is expected that two hundred looms will be in operation on April 1. and this number will be increased as the demand grows larger. Mr. Cozzens. of the local firm of Oozzens, Elbers & Prankard, who is interested in the new plant, in speaking of it said: “If the experiment proves successful our capital stock of SIOO,OOO will be increased and about five hundred looms wall be put in motion. The raw material will be imported direct from Italy and Japan, so that there will be no unnecessary expense. We expect not only to regain our lost trade, but also to acquire considerable more.” The Crib Keeper's Peril. CLEVELAND. 0., Jan. 30.—Nicholas Bachus, keeper of the water w r orks crib, had a narrow escape from death to-day. Ho started to walk ashore on the ice, when the wind shifted and the ice began moving out into the lake. Bachus was on a cake about twelve feet square. Two fisherman finally saw him. and he was rescued when about a mile and a half from shore. Bavlianan Jail Delivery. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Jan. 30.—Seven prisoners confined in the Buchanan county jail escaped last night by climbing over the cells in the women’s ward and crawling through a trap door in the roof of the jaii. A garden hose which had been left in the jail was used by the prisoners in clearing the roof. Two of the men were under indictment for highway robbery. Postmaster Kippen Killed. JULIETTE, Ida., Jan. 30.—J. Morangue, county surveyor of Nez Perce county, shot and instantly killed D. A. Kippen, postmaster at Kippen, Ida. Morangue fired three shots, all of which took effect. The trouble originated over some land the parties laid leased together. Morangue gave himself up to the constable. Movements of Steamers. QUEENSTOWN.

THE TROOPS FOR ALASKA ♦ GEN. MERHIAM EXPECTS TO STRIKE CHILKOOT PASS OX FEB. 15. Tlie Aerial Rallnny Over the ram Said to Be Finlithed, Shortening; the Trip to a Day's Journey. ■ ♦ PORTLAND. Ore., Jan. GO.—The steamer Elwood, loaded with government equipments and forage for the Alaska relief expedition, is l>ing at the wharf at Vancouver barracks ready to transfer her freight to the steamer George W. Elder when she arrives from Alaska to-morrow. The Elder is scheduled to sail again on Feb. 1. She will carry the escort of sixty enlisted meu and 150 tons of supplies, and the steamer Signal, which sails from Seattle Feb. 7, will carry 110 pack animals and twenty-four men and a portion of the supplies. General Merriam, commanding the Department of the Columbia, has decided upon landing the entire expedition at Dyea and pushing forward over the Chilkoot pass as fast as possible. He has notified the Chicago Snow and Ice Transportation Company, which has the contract to transport the supplies from Dyea to the interior, that its train must be ready to receive freight by Feb. 15 at Dyea, General Merriam is working out a plan to ascertain the number of iveople and the amount of supplies that will enter Alaska this summer. Speaking of this matter today he said: “From present indications a greater expedition will be needed next winter than this. Hundreds are already embarking for the gold llelds without more than sufficient supplies to last during the summer’s prospecting. It appears that thousands or more are on the way in a similar condition. While many may come out at the end of the season, others will stay with the hope of purchasing supplies. Therefore it is my opinion that tlie Alaskan detachment of the army could not be better employed than to watch the trails and tally the men and provisions passing to the interior, the government will have definite information as to whether there will be want or suitering in Alaska next winter.’’ * Because of the conuitions which may arise to alter the present arrangements, general Merriam will go in person at least as far as Chiicoot pass to direct operations. Chilkoot Past* Hallway Done. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 30.—Hugh C. Wallace, president of the Chilkoot Railroad and Transportation Company, has advices of the completion of the company’s aerial railway over the Chilkoot pass to Lake Lindemann. This marks anew era for Klondike travel, as the time between tidewater and the headwaters of the Yukon river is shortened from a month to one day, besides removing the peril and hardships. The company made a contract last night with the Canadian government at 15 cents per pound for transportation of all its freignt for the mounted police from Dyea to Lake Lindemann.

From Australia to Klondike. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 30.—The steamer Warrlmo has arrived from Australia and Hawaii. She brought but eighteen miners from Australia on their way to the Klondike. OUTLOOK FOR 1808. Evidences that Prosperity XV ill Be General. Leslie’s Weekly. The fact that so few railroads went into the hands of receivers last year is the best evidence that corporations which have survived since 1883—not only railload, but all other corporations—must possess inherent strength. The investor whose funds were swept away by the wiping out of stocks and the scaling down of bonded indebtedness during the past five years may feel at least a little confidence In the integrity of that which ho still holds; while the new investor, who goes into the market now and buys improved securities, can know that there is something of real and permanent value behind his purchases. It is a singular circumstance that up to a year or so ago the East was looked upon as the most prosperous section of the country, while at present the W T est and the Northwest and the Pacific coast are enjoying greater prosperity than most of the Fiastern States. The Pacific coast and the Northwestern section have benefited largely by the gold discoveries in Alaska, and all the West has reaped a golden harvest from the enhanced prices of cereals, and especially wheat. The East suffers from a plethora of money and a depression in many lines of industry, and especially in the manufacture of cotton goods, a field In which the South has become a most aggressive and successful competitor with the mills of New England. Had there been such a rise In the price of cotton as there has been in the price of wheat, the South to-day would be the most prosperous section of the country, and it only needs the stimulus of an advance in cotton to bring about another booming period in the Southern States. The mining States of the West are certainly in much better financial condition than they were three years ago While silver has declined to such an extent that many of the formerly productive mines have shut down, the development of goldmi ing in recent years has been so stimulated that the mineral output of the “preciousmetal States” now almost equals in value that of the most prosperous years. It Is interesting to note that the gold product of this country continues to show a steady increase. Last year this product was estimated at over $*51,000,000, and it surprised even that of the far-famed African gold fields, and in fact was higher than that of any other country on the globe. Colorado, instead of being the great silver State, has now become the greatest gold State, taking the place of California, and leading the latter in the estimated production of gold for 1897 by about $2,000,000. This y*ar, with the splendid prospects developed in Alaska, promises to be the greatest gold-producing year of modern times, and the United States will continue to lead the procession. INSULATES lIIS BED. How a Baltimore Mau Gets the Better of His Rheumatism. Baltimore Sun. A novel theory about the prevention of rheumatism and neuralgia has been practiced with success by Charles F. Kanna, auditor of the custom house. Mr. Hanna has long been interested in writings on rmdical subjects, and through his brother-in-law, who is a well-known physician in another State, he has been enabled to keep pace with the advance of medical science as recorded in technical journals. About fifteen years ago Mr. Hanna was struck by a suggestion of Dr. Brown-Se-quard, of Paris, that rheumatism, neuralgia, and kindred complaints were caused by lack of electricity in the body. The physician argued that during sleep, when vitality is relaxed, electricity ordinarily in the body flows off through surrounding objects to the earth. When the sleeper wakes with twinges of pain in his joints and nerves he sutlers until the natural supply of electricity is regained from the air. The remedy suggested for this was to insulate the legs of the bed and thus retain in the sleeper’s body all the electricity he had accumulated during the day. To read was to act with Mr. Hanna, who had long been a sufferer from rheumatism and also from sleeplessness, as the slightest sound aroused him. He secured four glass cui>s, such as are used on the desks of money counters to hold sponges for moistening the fingers. A cup was placed under each leg of his bed, and that night Mr. Hanna slept soundly. Not only that, but he arose the next morning without a vestige of pain in his body. Never since has he been without the four lit 'e insulators, always taking them along when he has occasion to use a strange bed, nrst placing the bed out from the wall, so that it is not in contact with anything. Many of Mr. Hanna's friends have tried his prescription with gratifying results and the relief of painful symptoms from which they previously suffered. A young man, athletic and full of life, who was visiting the family at one time, was put into one of the insulated beds, with the result that he tossed and tumbled, but was unable to sleep soundly. The following night the insulators were removed and the young man slept soundly. The third night the insulators were put hack and again the young man could not sleep. After that Mr. Hanna concluded that perhaps too much electricity could be stored up In the body sometimes. Says Candles Won’t Burn In Dawson. St. Paul Globe. ‘‘Talk about candles being worth $1.50 apiece in Dawson; it’s all wrong,” said Charles Way. yesterday. "I wintered on the west fork ot the Stewart river In ’B-t and ’BS with a party from Sitka. We went into winter quarters early, having good prospects on a bar directly in front of our log cabin. We had plenty of supplies that we had hired the Indians to bring in for us via Dyea. Among other things we had a

gross of tallow candles. Things went along nicely until Oct. 22, when at noon It began to grow cold. You could feel it settle down. The water In the boxes wouldn't run more than twelve feet without getting thick, so we quit work and went into the camp. We leaded the stove up with birch wood, and somebody lighted a candle, it burned all right for a minute or two. then the light commenced to grow dim. and to all appearances went out. I was surprised, upon examination, to find that the wick was still burning, but the tallow was not melting. I watched the wick as it burned, the fire burning Itself right in the candle until the wick was consumed clear down to the bottom, melting a hole about the size of a lead pencil through the tallow, but useless as a light, and we had to go to bed in the dark. Candles are not worth ?1."0 each when the weather is real cold, for they won't burn.” KEEP THEM FOR AWHILE * MINERS' AGREEMENT MAY WIND UP APRIL 1 IN ANOTHER STRIKE. No Change In tlie SH nation at Sew Bedford—Union Weavers Will Receive Strike Pay To-Duy. CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—The last of the delegates Jo the recent conference of mine operators and miners left the city to-day. Nothing remains now but to wait until April of this year when the agreement signed here is to go into effect, to see how many operators will abide by it and pay 10 cents a ton increase. In the interim between now and April 1, the officers of the national organization will move tlie headquarters from Columbus to Indianapolis. They w ill then turn their attention to inducing the Ohio operators, who were not parties to the agreement, to get in line. It is said that if a failure is made in this attempt a strike will surely be inaugurated in the Hocking valley, Jackson county and other Ohio coal fields within ten days after the time the new agreement is to go into effect. Another Strike Probable. BELLAIRE, 0., Jan. 30—It is thought that a big strike may be looked for at the XV heeling Iron and Steel Company’s works, at Benwood, W. Va. The company last week gave its employes notice of a reduction of from 10 to 30 per cent, in wages after Feb. 21. The employes at tlie plate mill went out on a strike last month. This afternoon the mill men met and rejected the proposed new scale. A strike affecting 800 men is probable. Third Week of the Strangle. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 30.—The third week of the strike will begin to-mor-rJfcv with no nearer prospect of a settlement than was apparent three weeks ago. Some of the collectors who have been at work in neighboring cities returned Saturday, bringing satisfactory reports, at which the members of the general strike committee are much encouraged. The union weavers will receive strike pay to-morrow.

HER BOILERS LEAK. Why Buttle Ship Indiana Had to Be Towed, by the New lurk. NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: There has been received at the Navy Department an official report from Rear Admiral Sicard concerning the leakage of the boiler tubes of the battle ship Indiana, which necessitated the towing of that vessel by the cruiser New York in order for it to keep up with the remainder of the North Atlantic squadron. That Rear Admiral Sicard did not tmnk the matter was important is shown by the fact that he only mentioned it in one paragraph of a letter headed “Incidents of the cruise from Hampton Roads to Key West.” He stated that one of the Indiana’s boilers began to give trouble, and in order not to delay the passage to Key West he ordered the New York to take the Indiana in tow. Hawsers were run out to the battle ship and the New York, aided by some of the boilers which were in good condition on board the Indiana, pulled the battle ship along without much difficulty. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THEM. Why the Dry-Goods Clerk Seldom Strikes Oat for Himself. Dry Goods Chronicle. We were asked the other day by an acquaintance: “Why is it that so few dry goods clerks go into business and strike out for themselves?” We have been thinking of it ever since, and, measuring the majority of men whom wc have met, we are led to think queer thoughts. Young men drift into the dry goods store, settle down to routine and seem satisfied to stay. Merchants become accustomed to seeing them about; chance, length of service or the good will of the proprietor advances them until they can make a living, perhaps support a wife. iiicy art- genteel, and constant association witli women wears the rugged corners off their character. Girls fancy their company because they are genteel in conduct, dress and appearance, and before long they are married and settled down to genteel poverty. If there is one thing that will make a toady of a man quicker than another it is this same genteoi poverty, trying to keep up appearances and to swing in a set that is congenial in character, while inconvenient in cost. i< inaily, shabby gentility, a continual scrimping, trying to make both ends meet. And so many an honest man eken out a hollow existence with his life narrowed down to a single track, his ambition smothered, his makeshift existence encompassed by a constant temporizing with necessity. A store full of such people is only half served by them. They come and go from force of habit; they manage to slip quietly In and out among their social superiors without giving offense. Content to be tolerated, they are wrapped up in their narrow Ufa. They never know the exhilaration that comes of actual conflict with circumstances; the hot blood of battle never Hushes their veins; no challenge is given or answered. Only the venturesome, ambitious one who feels the grasp of circumstances clutching at his throat and who thrusts back, who parries and spars and watches for opportunities and seizes them when they come, even reaching out to meet them half way, only such a one ever learns what his occupation offers, only such a one ever realizes on the possibilities it presents. I know a man who has lived in the same store for upwards of twenty years, and in all that time he never had a cross word from his employer. And the merchant himself told me once, that this faithful old clerk had never given him cause for offense. “In fact,” said he, “I wouldn’t know he was here from one end of the dav to the other tut for the fact that 1 see him occasionally.” I recollect some years ago when that same merchant dismissed a promising young fellow, because the boy irritated him with his forward ways. The youngster was aggressive, and wanted to know what was going on; he locked horns with some of the veterans when he knew they were presuming on his youthfulness. The “old man” fired him because he annoyed him. Well! He can buy and sell the whole establishment to-day. and my old friend did him the favor of his life when he turned him adrift. These things pay to think about, as a merchant’s business is too often what his assistants make it, to be let run wild. Chinese Partition Sooner or Later. Review of Reviews. The situation on the Chinese coast that has followed Germany’s seizure of Kiao* chau has continued to hold the foremost place in the attention of the world. Nobody knows what will happen eventually, but it is not likely that the great game of Chinese partition is to begin at once. In due time, however, the Chinese; empire bids fair to go to pieces. We have- been accustomed in times past to think of the Chinese as several hundred millions of perfectly homogeneous people. Asa matter of fact, although they belong to the great yellow division of the human race, the diversities of type In the different parts of China are greater than the diversities among white men of Europe, and there is less connection and by far less sympathy among them than among the discordant population elements that make up the pres-day-day conglomerate that we know as the Austro-Hungarian empire. There is an immense .range of dialects in China, and it often happens that the people of one neighborhood cannot talk with those who live in another four or five miles away. There is no such thing in China as a pervasive national feeling or an imperial patriotism. The various provincial governments are not under firm control by the central government and such military and naval forces as ex' Ist are provincial rather than imperial.

foreigners of other races. When the moment arrives for a partition of China upon a plan that would not injure European peace, the thing can be carried out as easily as was the German landing and conquest at Kiaochau. XV ho ’Enry XVas. Bangor (Me.) Commercial. R. Hall McCormick, a wealthy Chicagoan and a Bar Harborite, and "an earnest searcher after art treasures, relates the following anecdote which came under his personal experience while straying through a London art gallery on his recent tour abroad: While gazing at a large oil painting of Henry Ctay, a passing employe of the gallery stopped, and Mr. McCormick, in order to start a conversation, said quizzically: ”Can you tell me, sir, whom doea this picture represent?” The attendant, realizing that his questioner was an American, replied in a rather pedantic manner: “Why, sir, do I understand you to mean that you don’t know who that ’ere is? Why, sir, that’s ’Enry Clay, sir.” “Henry Clay,” repeated Mr. McCormick, with a merry twinkle in his eye, "why, I never heard of him. Who is he, pray?” "Why, sir,” ejaculated the pitying Briton, “and you don’t know ’Enry Clay, ’an you an American, sir. Why. ’Enry Clay's the man what makes the cigars, sir,” and. with a contemptuous frown the attendant went about his business. Literary Neurologist Needed. Chicago Times-llerald. Hallie Ermine Rives, the author of “Smoking Flax,” is reported to have been so unnerved by hostile criticism of her bcok that she has become a patient in an Eastern sanitarium. If the report be true there will be genuine sympathy fur the young lady, but it Is to be hoped that it will not be of the kind that will lead people to buy her book. The report, of course, may be an exaggeration, or it may be a canard. The public is not unused to reports of nervous prostration in the Rives family of authors. Amalie Rives, a cousin of Hallie Ermine Rives, set. the fashion by having an aßack of nerves following close upon any particularly hostile criticism of her books. The peculiar thing about the case of Miss Hallie Ermine Rives is how a young woman can have sufficiently strong nerves to write a book in defense of lynching aoid then break down under the strain of adverse criticism. The opinion of some literary neurologist in such cases ought to be both interesting and valuable. Function of Municipal Government. T. C. Smith, in Engineering Magazine. A city being organized for she purpose of carrying on ordinary municipal business, it is not a part of such business to engage in manufacturing or other pursuits for the purpose of making money. The ideal municipal government is that in which the expenses of government are exactly covered by the taxes, and in which the city has, so to speak, no profit or loss to show at the end of each year. Now, any commercial business is carried on either at a profit or a loss. If the city's business of gas or electric lighting is to be carried on at a profit, then those citizens who use gas or electric light will be charged a high price for that light, in order to pay a profit, not only to themselves, but also to those who do not use it. If the works are to be carried on at a loss, then the citizens who do not use the gas or electric light will pay taxes to furnish a convenience or economy to those citizens who do use it. If the works are to he operated exactly at cost, then the city will carry on a business from which it will get nothing, but in which it will have to take the labor and risk incident to such a business in order to benefit some only of its citizens, furnishing a commodity not desired hy_ all. “My Uncle” ns u Bicycle Guardian. Leslie’s Weekly. If you are a cyclist and in Paris for the winter you may find it convenient to pawn your wheel. This does not necessarily Imply that you are financially stranded, but simply that the French Mont de Plete, which is an institution under state control, affords a safe and inexpensive means of storing your machine during the three or four months that its outdoor occupation is gone. It costs less than a franc a month, and tlie authorities make speciai provision for the accommodation of bicycles, of which they are bound to take good care. So the fair but improvident Parisienne—who is the living prototype of la Cigale In the fable of the grasshopper and the ant—hypothecates her wheel when the snow begins to fly, and with the proceeds takes out her fur-lined circular wrap from the same institution, where during the summer it has been doing passive service as collateral security for a loan. Next April she can change back again, and all’s merry. Really, when we think of such conveniences as this and contrast tiiem with our common three-ball “hock shops” we have to admit that they manage such things better in France.
