arsenal, Benecla, Cal., relieving Col. Lawrence I. Babbitt, who has been assigned to the command of th United States powder depot at Dover, N. J. A despatch from Troy, X. T., says a number of men at the Watervllet arsenal are Idle In consequence of not being satisfied with what the commandant. Colonel Mordecai. decided they should do. They informed the commandant what they desired, but their wishes were not granted, and they quit. Several conferences have been held without result, and the commandant refuses to reinstate them and they have Civen up their places. Particulars of the new Syria-Ottoman railway, which 13 to run from Haifa, near Beirut, to Damascus and thence to the Persian gulf, have boen furnished the State Department by the United States Consul Kayndal. at Beirut. He says the Thames ircn works, one of the contractors, being crowded with orders, the rails and rolling Hook for this road will be bought in the United States. Consul General Lincoln, at Antwerp, regards It as a fact worth reporting to the State Department that during the la3t quarter more than JSfi.ooo worth of rice from the Kast was exported from Antwerp to Cuban ports. He so.y It would seem, in case the Southern States cannot supply rice to Cuba, that our merchants at least should have aome hand In ja-ocuringthe supply needed. Fred Ernest, of Indianapolis, Vand George Knelgg, of Laporte, were to-day appointed Bubstitute letter carriers. John A. Waldrldge, Bart Gaines and Alonzo Stams, letter carriers In the Indianapolis office, were to-day promoted from i?jQ to $-00 per annum. A new postofflce has been established at Dark Hollow, Lawrnce county, Indiana, end Fernando Deford appointed as postmaster. Joshua K. Brown, United States Chinese Inspector at Hawaii, has made a report to the commissioner general of immigration relating to the introduction of Asiatic labor Into the islands. In the course of the report he says that the executive council is ,now earnestly considering the question, both with reference to the present needs of the islands in their rapidly increasing agricultural development and as toThe effect any for labor may have ifpon their future relations to the "home government." This has resulted in a notice to the planters' association that some policy must be adopted looking to the restriction of the present Influx of assisted Asiatic laborers. The fublic. Mr. Brown asserts. Is thoroughly mbued with the idea that the large number of Jananese laborers brought to the Islands since annexation has already aroused antagonism in the United States, and that a continuance of the policy will result in a colonial, rather than a territorial, form of government for the islands, while on the other hand it is admitted that the material prosperity of the country will be seriously hindered if foreign labor cannot be obtained for the large areas of the land row being rapidly brought under cultiva tion. The whole number of Japanese laborers admitted to. the islands since annexation, Mr. Brown says, is 12,1. Of this number 1,197 were free, the only requirement being that each Individual shall be the possessor of J50 in gold or its equivalent. The remaining 10.903 were contract laborers. These contracts are simply that the laborers shall work for the contractor three years on stipulated terms. At the end of that period he la at liberty to remain In the country or leave it at his own pleasure. About half of the population, Mr. Brown lira im Aclilo anH rt ihi mimhor tVlA Jaru anese exceeds the Chinese by about 10,000. He predicts that before the end of the fresent year the Asiatic population of the slands will largely exceed all other nationalities combined, and that the excess of 'Japanese over Chinese will be fully double what it is now. Arrangements have been completed for the President's trip to Virginia, and, ac-cordin'nonfi-esent plans, he will leave "Washington Monday. He will be accompanied by Mr3. McKinley, his physician. Dr. Rlxey. Assistant Secretary Cortelyou and probably a stenographer. The President's trip is taken solely for the purpose of rest and-recreation. Ills general health is even better than it was at the time of ,hls Philadelphia trip, and his desire is to take a rest before the heated term sets in. "He received callers to-day as usual, all of whom said he was looking well and cheerful. The President's physician has advised the trip to Hot Springs because he thinks the beat' way to avoid a reaction from the r.cavy duties of last year is by all the rest the President can get whenever business will permit his absence from Washington. . The Department of State has been informed by the United States minister at Guatemala, under date of Oct. S, that the ; American citizen, J.

He urged a necessary to save the planters' industry, in view of the crisis through which Porto Rico l passing, the necessity of giving Porto Rlcan planters the right to enjoy all the trading privileges that other Americans enjoy. Solicitor General Richards has rendered an opinion in the case of an importer who declined to answer certain interrogations propounded by the appraiser of merchandise at New York under the authority conferred by Sections IS and 17 of the customs administration act as to the price at which the goods were sold. The section provides that in case the Information sought Is refused by the importer the appraisement made shall tx final and conclusive. Mr. Richards hoMs that the collector of customs is the proper person to determine as to whether the Interrogatories propounded were proper and whether the refusal was unlawful and the appraisement conclusive. Mr. Henry White, secretary of the National Garment Workers' Association, testl tied before the Industrial Commission today concerning the methods employed in the sweatshops in New York, where he resides. He 'asserted that the best class of clothing was made In these workshops. A suit ot clothes to cost the wearer $75 will be sent to one of the shops lrom a handsome store on Fifth avenue." he Faid, "and a man, wife and child will work on It for a week, from fourteen to sixteen hours a day, and get $12 for it. The best stores in the city send their clothes to the sweatshops to be manufactured." Mr. White described the fystem of subcontracting for clothing as carried on in New York as an infernal cooperative system by which the subcontractor divided hia misery with the workmen. "These subcontractors," he continued, "are not really contractors in the sense that that word is usually understood. They hav no plant. They are srtmply petty bosses, whose small amount of machinery is bought on the installment plan The subcontractors are ground down in the prices they receive, and, in turn, they have to get the work done cheaper. They are as much to be pitied as are the workmen under them." A contract for supplying fuel for the Indianapolis public building during the coming fiscal year was to-day warded to the Consumers' Gas Trust Company. ST. CLAIR COUNTY DEBT 1 TAXPAYER S MAY EFFECT A COMPROMISE "WITH BONDHOLUCUS,

And the Judge Be Thereby Enabled . to Come In Oat of the Brash Without Fear of Arrest. OSCEOLA, Mo.. May 6. St. Clair county judges may soon be able to come In out of the brush without falling in the hands of United Stages marshals and being dragged off to Kansas City to pass the remainder of their official existence in jail. The fight between the citizens of St. Clair county and the holders of the railroad bonds Issued by the county twenty-nine years ago was brought within the range of compromise to-day. In a delegate convention held in the opera house in Osceola 175 representatives of the taxpayers in every township decided by a vote of 93 to S3 to permit their county judges to submit the question of compromise of the debt to a vote of the people. This proposition to the electorate decided upon by the convention gives the judges and the people small discretion. It provides that the question voted upon shall be this: "Shall the railroad bond debt be compromised for 231.X0?" The amount owed by the people of the county on Judgments rendered by the United States Supreme Court is J1.500.(. The delegates, however, concluded that it would be better for everybody and give the judges a chance to sleep Indoors once more if the debt were settled. Therefore, they voted to compromise by paying $231,000, or about one-sixth of the amount claimed by the bondholders. When the bonds were issued, in 1ST0. there was some opposition to them. Judges who issued them afterward took to the brush, but not to get away from United States marshals, but from the people. Four years later a tax levy was made to pay the Interest on the bonds. It was levied again in 1875. 187$ and In 1877. The night before the County Court made the levy in 1S77 citizens seized the court records and destroyed the pages on which the order for the levy was written and later burned the book in the public square. The County Court consists of a bench of three judges, but no court has ever been elected that would make the levy since 1877 and no person has ever had the hardihood to bid on property offered for sale for taxes. Ever since 1S87 the judges have been passing their terms of office either in Jail or In the caves and forests of the county. Six successive judges have been in jail. The present bench is hiding out. holding court in the woods, armed and determined not to either obey the court or go to jail. WAS WITH CUSTER.

Burton Klnkaid, of Jamaica Plain, to whom the matter was submitted for investigation, has abandoned all work on the Keely motor and will ship back to the Keely company all the machines and manuscripts left by the inventor. Since the alleged exposure of duplicity in the Keely laboratory some time ego, Mr. Klnkaid has done no work on the machine. This alleged exposure was considered by him a great breach of confidence on the part of the man who made the statement public, and it brought Mr. Kinkald so much unpleasant notoriety that he made up his mind to have nothing further to do with the motor or machinery. When asked today if he thought the motor a fraud, he replied: "I have by no means arrived at any such conclusion, but under the circumstances I have decided to make no further investigations." l.GERSOLLS SUNDAY SCHOOL. Ashtabula Church Gave "Pope Dob' Ills Only Religious Training. New York Press. Ashtabula Is noted for two things. It was the scene, nearly a quarter of a century ago, of one of the most frightful railroad wrecks In the history of the world a disaster in which, among others. P. P. Bliss, the singing evangelist, and his wife were burned to death. Ashtabula's other claim to fame is founded on the fact that over fifty years ago Col. Robert G. Ingersoll lived there with his father, who was a Presbyterian minister. The Rev. John Ingersoll was of the straltest sect. His sons did not take the bread path, as so many sons of such fathers have done; but one of them. Robert, became eventually the foremost freethinker of America. Bob was born in Dresden, New York State, and he was eight years old when his father went to Ashtabula to live. The church building In which the father preached and Robert went to service and to Sunday school will soon be torn down. It has stood In the center of the city for sixty years. Robert at that time was a Grahamite, or vegetarian, not because he wanted to be, but because bis father made him forego the i fleshly food of which the son ate freely as scon as he got away from the parental home. Had Robert continued the ascetic diet all his life he miKht present a different appearance now. Old Ashtabula people remember when he who is a portly, dignified gentleman now went around the town barefooted, as boys are wont to do in the summer in small towns. Robert's mother died when he was young, and he was left to the tender mercies of the strictest of fathers. Uttle Bob was like many other boys, in that he was inclined to be rather mischievous when his Sunday-school teacher put the old questions to him that so many boys have heard. "Don't you want to go to heaven?" was one of the questions one day. to which the boy replied persistently "No." When his father asked him why not, Robert answered that he really did want to go there, but the teacher had no business to ask such a foolish question. Another time the teacher asked him how many Gods there were, to which Robert, in a spirit of fun, answered Six" o the story runs for which reply he was reproved by the teacher. There are some Ajshubula people who re

member when the boy who has become one of the foremost orators in America made repeated failures in '"speaking his pieces" In school. It was only when he had reached the years of manhood that Robert conquered the shyness and forgetfulness which used to cause him so much embarrassment on the public school platform. After a few years In Ashtabula the family moved to Madison, O., and then into Illinois, from which State Robert went into the army and to Congress. RATE WAR CONTINUES.

Gas Companies of Greater Xevr York Still Slashing Rates. NEW YORK, May 6. The phenomenal rate-cutting war between the gas companies of Greater New York continues with unabated zeal s far as the price of the product is concerned, but to-day new features were Introduced which forecast a settlement and the formation of a powerful combination. It was positively announced that a controlling interest In the United Electric Light and Power Company had been acquired by one of the large gas interests, presumably the Whitney-Brady-Ryan syndicate. This lent color to the report that the gas war would resolve Itself into a battle between the electric light and gas companies. The United Electric Light and Power Company succeeds the United States Illuminating Company. Its wires run underground all over the city and it has a capitalization of Jll.0u0.000. The company was controlled by the Westlnghouse Electric Company. It was also rumored that overtures had been reopened between Russell Sage and the Rockefeller interests for the purchase by the consolidated company of Mr. Sage's holdings In the Standard Company. Mr. Sag would not confirm this, but admitted that negotiations are in progress. TORNADO IN OKLAHOMA UNCONFIRMED REPORTS OF SERIOl'S DA3IAGE AT SEVERAL POINTS. Sixteen People Injured and One Killed at Chickasha Nothing Known at Guthrie of the Storm. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. May 6. A disratch to the Journal from Wichita, Kan., says: Meager reports reached here of a terrific windstorm that caused great destruction at several points in southern Oklahoma. The most serious damage is reported at Chickasha, Tongawa and Anadarko. The storm struck Chickasha at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon and destroyed that part of the town north of the Rock Island Railroad shops. Sixteen buildings were blovwji down, and the roof was torn from the railroad roundhouse. Sixteen injured persons had been taken from the wrecks up to 6 o'clock, but only one death had been reported. J. H. Murray, a railroad man, was dead when taken from the wreck of a building. Rumors of greater loss of life are heard but cannot be confirmed. There is only one telegraph wire out of Chickasha, and there Is little chance of getting a list of the injured tonight. Tho storm came from the southwest, preceded by a heavy hail and followed by a flood of rain. The path of the storm was right down Chickasha avenue, the main street of the town, and nearly every building on the street was either wrecked or unroofed and the contents exposed to the rain. A dispatch received in Wichita from Tongawa says that in Canton township, eighteen miles west, great damage was done by a tornado. The family of J. H. Ware took refuge in a storm cave, which became so soaked from constant rain that it fell in, killing three members of the family. The houses of J. F. Tunnel and S. Saunders were blown to pieces and Mrs. Tunnel was badly hurt. Oflhe damage at Anadarke nothing definite can be learned. The Rock Island extension up the Canadian valley to Anadarke is reported washed out in three places and traffic is blocked. A staff correspondent of the Kansas City Journal at Guthrie, O. T., wires that nothing is known there of any tornado. The railroads entfiring-Guthrie have received no reports of any serious damage.

A large number of Englishmen are neither high, low nor broad; they do not trouble themselves about questions either of doctrine or ritual; they prefer a sound, sensible, practical sermon to any theological discussion; they like a well-conducted musical service; they respect a parson who does his duty by the sick and the mourning and the poor and the children during the week, and if he chooses to wear vestments on Sunday they certainly do not think any more of his judgment; but since it pleases him (and the women) and does them no injury they offer no opposition. This kind of man does not enter readily into controversy and refuses to attend party meetings, and it is doubtful whether as yet he has expressed himself upon the present situation. He is beginning, however, to watch events and to get hold of the issues in question, and as soon as he is convinced that the Church of England Is in real clanger, and that the danger comes from the foolishness of a few hot-headed extremists he will make his voice heard and also his power. In no circumstances will this man. the average, intelligent Englishman, return to the Roman Church or throw away the national and religious freedom which was won by his fathers; nor does he propose to be driven out of the national church, which Is his home and his heritage, and to take refuge in a nonconformist chapel. The moment that he has any suspicion that the confessional, for instance, is really to be re-established in the .Anglican Church he will bestir himself to some purpose and will be inclined to make very short work with Anglican confessors. It is this man who creates pound opinion in his church, and when that opinion is created it will certainly be against the Roman party, and as ce.-tainly it will be irresistible.

THE TORCH TO POWDER. Touch a lighted torch to the contents of a powder mill and up it goes I But it isn't the torch that blows up the mill; it's the powder. The stuff is all ready to explode. It only needs one touch or fire to start it. When a man's blood is all ripe and ready for disease it only needs a little touch to start him going. Maybe he gets a slight cold, gets wet feet or sits in a draft ; then off he goes into a gal loping consumption. But it isn't the draft that does it; that only starts him. His blood was all ready for it in the first place. It was thick with bilious poisons; clogged with germs of disease all ready to be roused into fatal activity at the least touch. "My wife had a severe attack of pleurisy and lung trouble," saj-s Abram Freer. Esq.. of Rockbridge, Greene Co., 111., in a thankful letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y. " The doctors gave her up to die. She commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and she began to improve from the first dose. By the time she had taken eight or ten bottles she was cured, and it was the cause of a large amount being sold here. I think the Golden Medical Discovery is the best medicine in the world for lung trouble."

Caldwell (Tex.) Letter in New Tork Press. .This is the life story 'of two old heroes, man and wife. The deeds of the man are those which generally are lauded, but the detds of this wife are no less heroic. They arG hardy mountaineers these two old folk the same as they have been all of their eighty odd years of life, and they live in western .Texas. John Joy, son of a soldier of the revolution, and himself a veteran of the Mexican war, cast the only vote for Abraham Lincoln, so it is said, that was cast in all Texas. His pistol insured the depositing of that ballot in the proper box. He had fought Indians to protect his home has now 100 scalps to show for his prowess and in the early days of the civil war he was guarding his home on the frontier. Later on he and some companions traveled 1,000 miles, mostly on foot, to join the Union army, and Mrs. Joy stayed at home and looked out for the Coraanches, killing one chief herself during a foray on the settlement. Now, in their ripe old age, they are of the same political faith, man and wife, that they were forty years ago. Joy's father was a. -Virginian. and a. soldier of the revolution. They were always poor mountaineers. In early days they emigrated to Arkansas, where they lived until 1850. Here the old scldier of the revolution died while his son John, under Gen. Zach Taylor, was fighting the Mexicans. In 1S50 John Joy started with a long train of Arkansas people across the plains toward California, taking the southern route. They got lost on the plains, and finally concluded to go to the mountains of western Texas and remain until the next spring. They settled on the Guadaloupes, and, being pleased with the fine climate and great abundance of game, they located lands and improved small farms. The young men of this colony grew up in a school of arms. Whenever a full moon rode in the sky the terrible Mescalaro Comanches were almost sure to make a raid on the settlement. There was hardly a young man among these people who had not killed tn Indian, and many of the women were proud of the fact that they had made a Comanche warrior bite the dust. Every young girl in the settlement knew how to handle a gun or pistol. John Joy was then in the prime of life, and his ability to endure fatigue, coupled with his remarkable courage and coolness under lire, soon made him a leader even among a set of the most valorous of Indian fighters. He has now in his possession nearly a hundred scalps as modest trophies of his prowess on the warpath. STARTING OUT TO VOTE. Early in that famous campaign which elevated Abraham Lincoln to the presidency of the United States Mr. Joy declared that he was opposed to negro slavery, and often publicly proclaimed that he intended to vote for' Mr. Lincoln for President. On the day of the election, accompanied by some ten or more of his Indian fighters, he rode to the nearest voting place, which was nearly one hundred miles away and in a section where the abolition candidate was regarded a little less than a fiend Incarnate. Dismounting from his horse, he walked to the window of the little building where the officers were holding the election and asked for a Lincoln ticket. Supposing that he was playing a practical joke, everybody laughed uproariously, but when the crowd found that he was in earnest he was quickly surrounded by armed men, whose faces wore a threatening look. One of the judges said to Mr. Joy: "If you want to vote for old Abe you will have to get out of Texas. You can't put in any vote of that kind here." "Well, I shall try my best." said Mr. Joy. and, drawing a piece of paper and a pencil from his pocket, he wrote: "I, John Joy. a citizen of Texas a Mexican war veteran defender of the frontier and the son of a soldier of the revolution, cast my vote for Abraham Lincoln for President of the United States." Handing the paper to one of the judges, he stood his ground for a moment with his hand on his pistol and then coolly turned away and mounted his horse. It required a great deal of courage to do that. When the war broke out the troops were withdrawn from the frontier and the Indians raided the settlements In swarms. John Joy was in the saddle nearly all the time at the head of a company of his neighbors trying to protect their homes and their women and children from the scalping knife of the merciless Con. anches. Every effort was made to Induce Joy to Join the Southern army, but he refused to be governed by other than the Union sentiment that was strong within him. Finally his life was threatened, and upon more than one occasion he narrowly escaped being made a prisoner. After carrying his life In his hands for more than two year9 his brave wife said to him one day: "John, between the Comanches and your other enemies I am afraid you will lose your life. I expect you had better go and join the Union army. I and the boys and girls will be able to stand off the Indians." This was exactly what he wanted to do, but he hesitated to leave his family on the frontier, and then the question as to how the federal lines were to be reached presented itself. After consulting with his neighbors he selected nine of the hardiest and bravest men In the community and they gathered several hundred head of their cattle and started across the plains right through the heart of the Indian country in the direction of the Rio Grande. They were hardly out of sight of the Guadaloupe mountains before the Indians began to appear on the hills, and after that scarcely a day passed without an exchange of shot.n between the cattlemen and the Comanches. 1.000 MILES TO ENLIST.

frontier of old Mexico without the loss of a man. Here they were fortunate enough to sell their cattle, and. packing their gold, blankets and provisions on an old burro, they started down the Rio Grande In the direction of Matamoras. where they understood that the blockading fleet constantly kept a war vessel. Their own horses had succumbed to heat and fatipue and they found It Impossible to buy others. The distance that they had to travel before they could hope to see the stars and stripes and get an opportunity to enlist In the Union army was more thin a thousand miles, and the trouble between the French and Mexicans was on, while armed bandits and guerrillas infested the chaparals and mountain passes at every step. They were warned over and over by friendly Mexicans not to undertake the hazardous journey and told that If they wens not murdered by bandits they would suiyy perish of thirst on the great parched plains. After discussing the matter for a whole night John Joy said. Just at daylight: "Boys, the word impossible' ain't in my spllin' book. Let's go on. I started out to join the Union army and I am going to do it." These brave men trudged across the hot sands of Mexico day after day. with their teeth clenched and a set purpose in thir hearts, hoping that they would reach the army in time to strike one blow for the Union. Sometime they marched with the Mexicans, at other times with the French. Ore day thej were fired upon by guerrillas and on the next they had to light bandits. While hunger was gnawing at their vitals and their throats were parched for water, they could look to the left and almost see the plains of Texas, and they fully realized that it was only necessary to turn aside and cross the Rio Grande and proclaim themselves true Southern men to end all their terrible sufferings, but not a man lost courage. After marching for more than fifty days, one evening they came In sight of the sea and a few hours afterward they saw a small vessel. From the masthead the ship floated the stars and stripes. Throwing their hats in the air they shouted until their parched throats were sore. Without much trouble they managed to reach one of the vessels of th fleet that was lying off the mouth of the Rio Grande. whre they told their story and received a warm welcome. A few days afterward they were sent to New Orleans, where they all enlisted In the Union array. The story of their sufferings became known to General Merrltt, and he was so much touched by their fidelity and courage that he showed them many courtesies, and when the war ended and this general et out to take possession of San Antonio he took the Texans with him and discharged them within 150 miles of their homes. During the absence of her husband Mrs. Joy had a battl with the Indians at her house and killed a chief with her own hands. Mrs. Joy is still living as well her husband.

The Mystery of the Tickle Jar. Hartford Times. Mrs. J. C. Judson. of Barbour street, made a discovery in opening a can of pickles a day or two ago that was very mi'ch out of the ordinary. Lat summer, during nor canning, she "put up" a number of jars of piccaiiiit. composed of chopped cabbage, onion, and peppers, in vinegar. Ai she opened the jar in question she discovered a long, dark object which had all the appearance of a snake. Was she frightened? Some. But only for a moment. Reassuring herself that It was impossible for a live snake to be tn her pickles, she investigated. With a long fork she brought forth a rubber band, seven Inches In diameter, nearly three-quarters cf an inch wide, and an eighth of an Inch In thickness. Being cut It measured eighteen Inches in length. The elasticity of the rubber was still perfect. The band was originally a rmall rubber one of the kind so familiar In the canning se-asnn. ued In feallnsr glass Jars. . It was accidentally left In the bottom of the Jar. and for six or eight months the rubber had been feeding on the vinegar, absorbing every particle and growing to at least six times its original r.ze. Mrs. Judson took the band to rubber expert, who said he could give no expiantloa of the phenomenal growth. A Biblical Explanation. Puck.
