QUEEN VICTORIA, in her fifty-seven years of power, has seen every throne in the world vacated at least once, and some of them several times. . )

TaE birthplace of James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States, is now owned by an Afro-American named Seward. The place is located on the Potomae river, near Mt. Vernon.

ToE boot and shoe manufacturers in New England say that the demand for boots and shoes which retail at over $#1.25-or $1.50 a pair has almost ceased to exist, and that practically all the manufacturers are running on cheap shoes in order to make a product that will sell. )

THE cry about alienism in the army has stirred the war department to an investigation of the nativity of officers and men. Ninety-nine per cent. of the officers are citizens of ‘the United States, as -are 77 per cent. of the noncommissioned officers and 75 per cent. of the privates. , RLA DA TN AR R R RIBAS Mrs. EpvMusp YATES it is reported, carries about with her wherever she coes the ashes of her late lamented husband, who, it will be remembered, was cremated. They are inclosed in an air-tigcht receptacle, and this is fitted into a little trayveling bag made for the purpose. ‘ , ‘ s ———— OxE of the most remarkable sights to be. seen in Australia is a burning mountain 1,820 feet in height. The mountain is supposed to be underlaid with an inexhaustable coal seam, which in some way became ignited. It was burning long before the advent of white men to that part of the countrv. _

THE Russian courts have reversed the assumption of the American tribunals that when a husband and wife are drowned in the same disaster, the wife dies first. The Russian doctors have testified unanimously that the man would be first to die, because the woman is more agile and keeps herself lenger above water. e ———— REPRESENTATIVE TALBERT, of South Carolina, occupies a unique position among congressmen in that he neither coes to the theater, drinks, smokes, chews nor plays cards. He has a habit, however, of never passing a beggar on the street without giving him a nickel, disposing thuys of the small change that most men spend on themselves. - G RTINS TNI R S WAL * For the last two or three years England experienced a drought so severe that its agricultural products were seriously injured. This year, however, crop conditions seem favorable, and the greatest acreage yield in the world was promised. But recently heavy' rains set in, and these have almost entirely ruined the wheatcrop of Great Britain.

PEXNSYLVANTA has a gentle citizen who may fairly be said to rival Missouri’'s quondam pets, the James boys. Ilis name is Abe Buzzard, and he has lately-been the leader of a band of Welsh mountain thieves. Buzzard is

ACCORDING to recent statistics, there are about 2,000 women practicing medicine on the continent of North America. 'of whom 130 are homoeopathists. The majority are ordinary practitioners, but among the remainder are 70 hospital physicians or surgeons, 95 professors in the schools, 610 specialists for the diseases of women, 70 alienists, 65 orthopedists, 40 occulists and aurists, and finally 30 electro-therapeut-ists, : i

I~ mercantile circles in Germany there ‘is very little sympathy for the Japanese, and probably one reason is that it is becominz more and more difficult to export to.them since they have taken to utilizing the knowledge ac-. quired in Europe for establishing manufactories of their own, for swhich, of course, they must be applauded, but which. all the same, is against the immediate interests of exporting countries. . . . 0

. Bostox lettercarriers are somewhat pleased at the outcome of their opposition to the rule of the postal authorities requiring the men to purchase their uniform and accessories from the tailoring firm to which a contract was awarded. The men all along felt that they could have outfits cheaper if permitted an option in the selection of a dealer. Accordingly the matter was brought to the attention of the authorities at Washington and it has been decided that the carriérs may buy of any tailor they desire.

InE report of the census bureau on farm and home proprietorship, which is said to be thé first investigation of the kind ever made, shows that of the 12.699,152. families in the United States, 47.50 per centc own their farms and homes, and 52.20 per .cent. hire. .This is a remarkably good showing and probably could not be equaled by that of any country in Europe. Among the cities of 100,000 population and upward New York has the highest rate of home tenaney, 93.67 per cent.” Cineinnati standing fifth with 30.52 per cent, and Rochester being the lowest of all with 56 per cent. Tre smallest piece of painting in the xorid has récently been executed by a Flemish artist. It is painted oa the smooth side of a grain of common white corn, and’ pictures a mill and miller mounting a stairs with a sack of grain op his back. The mill is representcd as standing on a terrace, and near it is a horse and cart while a group of several peasants are shown in the road near by. The picture is beautifully distinct, every object being finished with microscopic fidelity, yet by careful measurement it is shown that the whole painting does not cover @ surface of half an in¢h square. e R T e e e T T ee R

HEAVY RAINFALL. - CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—Another heavy rainfall was experienced in this city Sunday at 6:30 p. m. During the past week nearly eight inches of rain shas fallen in this vicinity. The recent storms have been accompanied by electrical disturbances, and considerable damage has been done to property by lightning. One man was killed and several others are reported injured by lightning Saturday night. Fromall parts of Illinois come stories of damage by wind and rain. ' Near Huntley,lll., the storm was in the nature of a cyclone. A path 3 miles in width was swept by the wind and many barns and windmills were leveled to the ground. Great fields of corn were leveled to the earth as though by a roller. Farmeys ' turned their cattle from thel = stables and thus saved hundreds\of head of stock. On the Schroder farmm the barn was wrecked and ten hegd of horses were found in the field€ attached to fragments of the mangers which they had | dragged loose in their fright. Louis Gamon’s barn fell and buried eight horses in the ruins. Five horses were killed in the wreck of John Hooker’s barn. John Conover lost several cows by lightning. The roof of the house of the William Humbrecht farm was blown away. On the T. S. Huntley farm nine horses were killed and several barns were burned in that section. The losses will aggregate many thousands. ‘

The storm reached Algonquin and played havoc on several farms there. The barn of Patrick Ballister was blown down and several horses killed. The Ketchum barn, between Dundee. and Algonquin, was blown to pieces. On the Hawker farm the house, barn® and outbuildings were ruined and | four horses killed. The inmates of the ‘house had narrow escapes. Daniel Price’s barn was demolished and fifteen cows were killed. At the farm of Chris Wendt" the barn was wrecked and an entire orchard ruined, some of the trees being snapped off and others uprooted.Although the storm was the severest known through this section, no deaths have been reported. The damage, however, will aggregate a great many thousand dollars. 2 .

r MURDERED IN HIS HOME.

An Aged and Wealthy Resident Slain

Near Detroit, Mich.

DEeTROIT, Mich., Sept. 10.—C.V. Chauvin, 76 years of age, and a wealthy and prominent jcitizen of Grosse Point township, was found murdered in his home on the Grosse Point road northeast of the city late Sunday afternoou. The murderers have not been caught, but the officers claim to be closé upon their trail. Chauvin lived as a hermit in an isolated place. Joseph Groesbeck, a cousin of the deceased, called at his house late Sunday afternoon and discovered Chauvin’s dead body on the floor. On his head were three terrible wounds, evidently inflicted by an ax. The muirderers had ransacked the house, but probably found nothing of much value, as Chaunvin kept little money with him. Persons in the vicinity claim to have seen two men go ' to Chauvin’s cabin in the morning and afterward start from there toward the city. = Chauvin had lived as a hermit for eighteen years. He was once a mem‘ber of the Michigan legislature, had held various local places of trust, was an intelligent student and is estimated to have been worth upward of $200,000. Three other attempts at robbing and killing him had been made, but it was »quite well known of late that he kept nothing of value on his premises.

RAILWAY DISASTERS. Several Fatal Ones Occur in America— Ten Lives Lost in France. ‘ CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—The St. Paul ex press on the Chicago & Northwestern, which left the Wells street depot at 6:30 o’clock Sunday night, was wrecked one hour later between Barrington and Cary by colliding with three coal cars, said to have been blown on the main track by a miniature cylone which was sweeping across the country. General Superintendent S. Sanborn was badly injured, and Fireman J. McMahon was killed and two employes and two passengers were hurt. . ;

The train was running fast and the signals showed a clear track. Suddenly the engineer espied the cars on the track ahead of him and applied the air brakes. But he failed to check the momentum of his heavy train and it crashed into the obstruction with a terrrific shock. The engine jumped the track, and was followed by the mail, express and buffet cars. The mail tippéd ¢lean over, the express landing almost on top of it. » When Engineer Stearns saw a collision was inevitable he jumped and escaped injury. J. McMahon, the fireman, stuck to the engine and was instantly killed. His body was taken from the wreck and left in the care of friends at Barrington. A. J. Blissis a flour merchant from Boston. He wasin the buffet and was thrown across the car and his left leg broken above the knee. The fracture is a bad one and may. cost him his leg. Thomas Green, the baggageman, was caughtin the debris of his car and had his left leg broken and received a number of serious cuts about the head. Superintendent Sanborn had several ribs broken. :

NorTH ADAMS, Mass., Sept. 10.—The most frightful disaster known in this vieinity took place on the Fitchburg road Saturday evening in the Hoosac tunnel a short distance east of the central shaft. The “accident was: caused by a rear-end collision between east-bound freight trains, and as near as can beascertained happened about 10:30 p. m. A freight train had stopped to repair on engine which had broken down, and about the same time a west-bound express train passed through the tunnel, filling it with smoke. A second east-bound freight train was allowed to enter the tunnel, contrary to the rules of the road, and the engineer being unable on account of the dense smoke left by the passenger train to distinguish the lights of the train from the lights on the walls of the tunnel, a bad wreck was the result, both trains being badly damaged. The tunnel was blockaded and two men killed outright and three were seriously injured. ' Operator Hodkin, who was in charge of the signal'lights at the east portal, is confined in the police station on the charge of criminal carelessness. W. Hodgkins, the west portal operator, has also been placed under arrest. He claims he received the “O. K.” from the east end operator and consequently changed his signal. - BRUSSELS, Sept. 10.—Ten persons were killed and twenty injured by the wreck of the Paris and Cologne express train Sunday. The accident happened at Apilly and was caused by a collision of the expresstrain with a freight which was being shunted. The engineer saw the danger ahead and reversed his engine. This had the effect of reducing the speed and rendering the accident less severe than it would otherwise have been. As it was, the wreck was a very disastrous one. A passenger on the train, who escaped with slight injury, says that the shock of the collision was tremendous, and that the forward cars were reduced almost to atoms. The bodies of the victims were badly mutilated, in some cases the head being severed from the trunk. It isreported that the station master at Apilly, on seeing that a collision was inevitable, jumped in front of the express. and was killed. FAIRBURY, 111., Sept. 10.—The northbound mail train No. 10 on the Wabash railroad was ditched when three-quar-ters of a mile out of Sauneman. Engineer E. L. Miller, of Chicago, was killed outright and his fireman, named Gilman, received injuries that will cause his death. The engine, which was No, 573,was thrown to the left side, while the mail car was thrown to the right and the rest of the cars stayed on the track. Coroner Zimmerman, of this county, empanneled a jury, who, after examining all the available wit~ nesses, returned a verdiet that they were unable to determine what caused the accident. Conductor D. H. Powley, of the ill-fated .train, and others in the train claim that the speed was not fast, but that the stop was made partly by applying the emergency air brake, which Miller accomplished before his engine went into the ditch. Several on the train received slight injuries. William Chenowith, foreman of the wrecking crew of the Wabash Chicago division, was managing the clearing up of the wreck when a heavy timber gave way _striking him on the head, crushing in ‘his skull and otherwise injuring him. His death soon followed. o

DECATUR, 111., Sept. 10.—At Kenney, on the Peoria division of the Vandalia road, Saturday, there was a costly freight-train wreck, caused by cattle on the track, in which Engineer James C. Williams, of Decatur, lost his life. Elmer Rosengrantz, the fireman, escaped by jumping. :

FANNED THE FIRES. Strong Winds Start_Afresh Flames in the Cahd Forests, ; ,‘ 2 ~ Sl. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 10.—Alarming rumors have been coming in here to the effect that forest fires are sweeping several counnties of northeastern Minnesota, The wires are already in a state of demoralization, and south-bound trains due here Sunday evening are delayed somewhere between Hinckley and Duluth. =

Bulletins from St. Cloud and Brainerd say that the town of Princeton, a village of 500 inhabitants in Mille Laecs county, is in great danger and that Barnum, Carleton county, is surrounded by fire which is swept by such a terrific wind that the place has no chance of escape. Mora, Mille Laecs county, was surrounded by fire during the afternoon and people ran for their lives. The wind changed suddenly, however, at nightfall and drove the flames in another direction. If the wind changes again nothing can save -the place. Soule’s sawmill and lumber yard ‘ between Milica and .Princeton were totally destroyed. The little station of Ground House, near Mora, is in great danger. The wind was blowing a gale at this point at sundown and the worst is feared. ‘The Duluth- fire department is fighting fires in the outskirts of that city. Hinckley also seems to be again in trouble. ' . .

At Kerrick the inhabatants putin the afternoon fighting the fires, but thought in the evening the danger was over.
