Dox CArLos, the Spanish pretender, is one of the handsomest men in Europe. He is six feet tall and of splendid physique.

THE shattered health and mental trouble -of Lord Randolph Churchill will soon lead to the retirement from politics of.that brilliant English statesman.

SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN has scrap books covering the history of ' the United States for the past thirty-eight. years. He has been keeping his letters since he was fifteen, and everything of value has been saved. -

‘THE British war office is considering a propositioh that all soldiers should be instructed in the elements of anatomy and physiology in order that they might be able immediately to stop the flow of blood from a leading artery. ,

MRr. GLADSTONE is quite generally credited with ‘having a thorough appreciation of his own genius. His wedding gift to Miss Tennant of a full set of the works of William E. Gladstone attests this faet anew. -

Box elder trees are said to furnish a sap so ¢losely resembling the sap of the maple that it can be used asa substitute, and experts can not ' detect the difference. Successful experiments have been made in Nebraska.

-~ THE unqualified success of Mr. Nathan Straus’ experiments in behalf of New York’s poor. particularly his pure and sterilized milk experiments, is already bearing fruit. A similar plan in behalf of the poor children of Philadel--phia is now being worked out by Phila»delphia philanthropists.

THE rate of mortality of London has steadily decreased with the introduetion and perfection of adequaﬁe means of disposing of the sewage of the city. At the end of the eighteenth century the annual average mortality was estimated at fifty per 1,000 and in 1892 it had dropped to 19.1 per 1,000. .

A XEw brand of smokeless powder discovered by a Virginian and developed by a Mr. Leonard, has been proven by -experiments made by government officials to be the superior of any yet discovered. ‘A petition has been presented to the house asking for an ap»propriation to allow further tests.

- THE latest development in the milk business in London is to drive the cows around the route and have them milked in the presence of the customers. The customer is thus enable to judge for himself of the healthy appearance of the animal, and is sure of the freshness of the milk. The practice is a common and anciet one in Egypt.

FisnerMEN at Wrightsville, Pa., on the Susquehanna. are talking of a novel swimming race between several kinds of fish. There is a great dispute as to which is the fastest swimmer, an eel, a black bass or a May sucker. They propose constructing a svooden trough 500 feet long. in shallow water, and then race the fish to decide the bets. )

AX international fire congress is to be held at Antwerp on June 9, 10 and 11-and will be continued at Brussels on the three following days. Representative fire bricades from all countries will take part in the displays and contests. A British brigade has been formed of picked men from forty-five brigades. At a similar congress two years ago an American team took first prize. n v

A MmucnH bigger wheel than the great Ferris wheel, which revolved in the Midway and is to be set up in New York, is building at Earl’s coutt, Lendon. It is a 400-foot wheel, and will carry 2,000 people in™ fifty cars. Three restaurants will be built on platforms at varying heights on the supporting towers, and a big ball room will crown the towers at the axle. ==

AFTER January i, 1895, no more days of grace will be allowed in New York

state on notes, Ql'afts, checks, accept-

«ances, bills of exchange:. bonds or other evidences of indebtedness made, drawn or accepted by any person or corporation, and no grace, according to the custom of merchants, will be allowed after that date unless there is a stipulation’to the contrary. There is nothing left for the debtor to do but call at the captain’s office and settle or let his obligation go to protest on the day the obligation matures. It is not likely that we will soon talk to our English cousins by telephone across the Atlantic ocean. The trouble is, or at least one of the troubles is, that the cable to carry the wires must be quite ‘a foot thick. It would be an enormously costly businéss. and a difficult one, to- lay a cable of that size. To lay it in one piece would be out of the question; it would have to be spliced . more than once.. And, safely laid, there is no knowing that it would not prove a failure. Itis likely that, for a white yet, the telegraph will do forus. A sub-marine telephone is not yet a long-felt want. ] X AR N OB IS RS RWN BRI ‘Tue Cincinnati Street Railway co., in order that their cars may climb the steep grade to Erice Hill, have resorted to a novel plan at the junction of Glenway and Wilder avenues and again at Wilder and Warsaw avenues. At these two junctions the double track - is merged into a single track and the single track describes a loop, around which every car, on down or up trip, must go. In describing this loop the electri¢ car actually runs down a grads in order to get up hill. Nothing more novel in the way of engineering has ever been attempted in Cincinnati, or probably any othercity.

ITS JUBILEE CELEBRATION.

The YZM. C. A. of All Lands Observes Its Fiftioth Birthday.

Loxpox, June 4.—The thirteenth international conterence of the Young Men’s Christian associations of ali lands has begun here. Entertainment has been provided for all the delegates, of whom about 2,000 are expected. There are about 200 delegates from America. Nearly every civilized country in the world will be represented. By special permission of the council of the city of London a large- pavilion has been erected on the Thames embankment. It seats 21,000 people, and in it all the delegates will be served each®day with lunch and tea. :It is handsomely decorated with the flags of all nations. This conference is called the jubilee celebra tion because it commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the first Young Men’s Christian association by George Williams June 8, 1844. - ; :

The present gathering, besides being: the jubilee of the association, is the | thirteenth universal conference. These ,l international conventions have been! held every three years since 1855. The! first universal conference was held in ! Paris. i > |

To appreciate the brevity of the existence -of the Y. M. C. A., while contemplating its remarkable growth, one needs only to reflect that its founder, George Williams, is still in active business life as senior partner of -the . great dry goods

house. 'of Hitchcock & Co., of London, of which he was in 1844, when he established the nucleus of this immense religious organization, only one of the clerks. On June 6 of the year named he calléd a meeting of the eighty young men .who were his fellow clerks, in an upper room of the store of their employers, and there organized the first: ‘“Young Men’s Christian association.” In the brief space of forty-eight years Mr. Williams has seen the work which he started extend throughout the whole Christian world. At this time there are 4,416 associations in forty-six different nations. E :

There are 350 college associations in America alone, with a membershié of 22,000, which makes the largest college fraternity in the world. In all the leading colleges of the United States; and in most of the lesser ones, the Young Men's Christian "association is impressing its deep religious convietions upon the students. - The railroad branches are also doing a great work, the highest possible indorsement of which isifound in the fact that $140,000 annually is expended in this branch: of the worl. -

¢ STRIKE HURTS TRADE. Business Shows the Effects of DMining 3 Troubles. NEw York, June 4.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: “It is a sign of cheering import that in finished business, represented by clearings and railway tonnage, there has been less decrease since the strike began than might have been expected. But in inchoate business, the orders which start the. wheels, to result in tonnage and payment weeks or months later, there seems to be .an actual decrease. Meanwhile the consequent interruption of traffic and industry increases. The stoppage of irom furnaces between the Allegheny mountains and the Mississippl river has become complete and a great number of concerns manufacturing iron, and otherssrequiring soft coal or ,coke for fuel, have been forced to stop. Business cannot increase in volume under such circumstances, and yet payments through all clearing houses for the week show a decrease of only 20.8 per cent. compared with last year. Though a large number of works are idle the demand for products is not what might be expected eitherin volume or in urgency. “Again the lowest priq'e ever recorded has been macde for cash Wheq_\t, 56%{ cents at New York, against. 75 cents & year ago, while the average in May, 1892, ‘was 90 cents,.and in April, 1891, $1.18%. Corn is stronger, with exports about half as large as a year ago, and the unfavorable outlook for oats results in a higher price. Pork products are weak .with continuing large receipts. - Cotton has varied little, though receipts from plantations have fallen off, for stocks in sight are very large, a new crop, for which prospects are de. . cidedly good, is drawing near, and the demand for goods is uncertain. “Liabilities reported in failures for the fourth week of May were $2,503,087, and for four weeks ending May 24, $11,391,042, of which $4;445,605 were of manufacturing and $5,806,891 of trading concerns. Reports yet tocome in may increase the aggregate to $14,000,000 for the month. Failures this week haye;been 183 in the United States, against 288 last year, and 27 in Canada, against 21 last year. Only two failures, both banking, are for $lOO,OOO or more." | Bradstreet’s says: | “The decidedly unfavorable condition of general trade reported last week continues without material improvement. Continued delay of tariff legislation prolongs the stifling effect of wholesale business. The great coal strike continues without sign of early improvement, no concession having been made by either side. More mills, factories and furnaces have closed their doors for waht of fuel. There are no new labor strikes of lmportance to record, but almost all of those previously reported are in existence.” 5 i : Crawford Named for Congress., 5 SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 4.—James A. Crawford, president of the Illino Miners’ lederation, has been nominated for congress in the Seventeenth district by the people's party and accepted the nomination. Crawford lives in Fulton county but will remove to this city. i e - Cut a Fellow Convict’s Throat. - : CorLumnus, 0., May 30.—Edward Massey, in the Ohio penitentiary, knocked down Alijah Lynch, another prisoner, and cut his throat. Death will probably ensue, Massey is believed to be insane. A e T

UNDER WATER. s

Appalling Loss of Life and Property at ' Pueblo, Col., by Flood. '

~ PuesLo, Col,, June 2—Pueblo hasbeen visited by the worst flood in its history. Several thousand people were rendered homeless and property was damaged to the amount of $100.000:. Four breaks in the Ilevee on the north side and two on the south side have flooded the region between Eighth street and the river on the west in a zigzag course, thence to Fourth and Main, Second and Santa Fe, and everything south of and including | First street. On the south slde the flooded area extends from West Fourth street bridge through the Rio Grande yards to Union avenue. Practically everything west of Union avenue from the river to C stgeet and all west of Victoria avenue, Stanton & ‘Snyder’s addition, is under water. The loss of life and damage to property are appalling. ' For 8 miles up and down the banks of the Arkansas the water was from 3 to 15 feet deeﬁ. Trees were uprooted and street cars carried over 100 feet from their tracks. Only a few unfortunates were able to save any of their household effects. Most of the dwellings were only one story, and were either entirely sub: merged or carried off their foundation by the current. The -carcasses .of ly‘orses, cows, dogs and sheep floated around in the whirling water. The flood brought with it mud and sand, filling cellars of the business houses and first floors of the stores with from -18 inches to 3 feet of slimy mud. ;

. PORTLAND, Ore., June 4.—The Columbia river was still rising on:Friday. The fertile bottom lands along the river from the Rocky mountains to the sea (600 miles) are all inundated. The 'residents fled with. their household" !goods to higher ground. City base- ' ments here are flooded as far back as Ninth street. ’ G ; - BOULDER, Col., June 4.—The flood in Boulder creek has caused great destruction to property in this city and surrounding locality. In this city five houses were swept down stfeam. The occupants were rescued by a relief corps. All the city and railroad bridges have been washed away. The towns of Crisman -and Salina, small mining camps in Boulder canyon, about 7 miles" from here, have been totally destroyed and over 300 people rendered homeless. - 1 DENVER, Col., June 4.—Platte river continued to rise until ;3 a. m.,’and a raging. torrent continued pouring through this city. Colfax ard Jerome Park were flooded at 11 o’clock Thursday night and the peoplé living on the low ground had to flee for their lives. The railway embankment was washed away in places and bridges® were badly damaged. The loss will not be ‘very great, but: .the inconvenience will be extreme. In Jerome Park and vicinity 175 families were driven out of their houses and are camped on higher ground. o Maxitou, Col:, June 4.—Business;is practically suspended and hundreds of men are working to save their property. The stream from Williams canyon is rushing over Mineral Water park, leaving gravel in place of grass. Tons of earth have been torn from the pavilion grounds. Dynamite has been used frequently to demolish gorges.

IpavO Sprrixgs, C 01.,, June 4.—~The damage by the flood in this county is ‘estimated at $100,000.. The storm was the longest and most disastrous’in the memory of the oldest inhabitant.

Mosely,- news agent, Stevens Point; W. B. Russell, civil engineer, Stevens Point; Mrs. Wagner, Butternut. e ~ Mrs. G. H. Brown, Irene, S. D., one rib broken; Henry Shover, Marshfield, shoulder dislocated; W.D. Hogan, a passenger, Butternut, bruised about the® head and side; Fannie Harth, Springdale, Ill.; William Ryan, Sturgeon Bay, ribs broken; Arthur Turnion. Chi-: cago, cut. on head; Dry Welitzel, Gidden, hurt internally; E. A. Twitchell, Minneapolis, head cut. . 2

The opinion prevails that the wreck was the result of criminal tampering with a switch. It does not appear that it could be out of place except by being tampered with, and it is said some wrecker had caused the terrible accident by a murderous act. The town of Mannville, where the accident happened, was almost totally destroyed by fire last fall,jand since that time there has been little there except a railway station. It was formerly a lumber center and a large sawmill was operated there. o :
