The Ligonier Banuer LIGONIER. ' t IN DIANA. A New Jersey man has been trying to hypnotize a girl to get her to play the violin. In most instances one would be inclined to use that power to get her to stop.

Tt requires an average of more than 20,000,000 pins per day to sustain dislocated shirt waists, replace missing suspender buttons and meet the other needs of the American people.

Another family has been wiped out of existence through a dinner of mushrooms, largely because the members lived in an inland town in Misgouri and never had a chance to rock a boat. .

Emperor William has pardoned a naturalized American citizen who was imprisoned recently for having escaped army service in his native country. To be an American in these days covers a multitude of sins abroad.

Thimbles have been found in Herculaneum. They were formerly worn on the thumb and the word originally meant “thumb-bell.” It takes 20 men and a great amount of costly machinery to make a silver thimble. Thimbles were first'made in Holland in 1695.

A New Jersey man who is said to be half-witted fired a 'shotgun loaded with tacks at a party that was trying to do the charivari act. He may be half-witted, but the evidence is all the other way. The people who carried away the tacks would seem to be the foolish ones. -

Economie statisticians say the productive energy of each inhabitant of the United States is 1,940 foot-tons daily, while the European has only 990 foot-tons. In the intefnational game of commercial football it is not strange that 'this country is so effectively kicking the pigskin at present. : :

- The introduction of trolley roads has not seriously disturbed the business of steam roads, as was predicted. Trolley lines are especially numerous in Connecticut and the Hartford Courant makes a study of their workings. It finds by an analysis of official reports that while the trolley relieves the steam roads of some local travel it adds to the growth of cities and towns and largely increases the freight traffic. : The old custom in the English parliament of members wearing their hats dates from 1199. John, earl of Ulster, was chosen as the English champion to settle the difficulty about the duchy of Northhumberland by single combat, and when he appeared on the field his opponent fled. As a reward King John granted his request to remain ‘‘covered in the presence of your majesty and all other sovereigns of this realm.” Judge Robinson, of Raleigh, N. C., apparently thinks that clergymen have in their own hands the power to keep order during divine service. There have been some hints of unseemly doings in one of the churches there, and his honor in charging the jury said: “Be careful how you indict men for disturbing religious worship. If the preacher is the sort of fellow he ought to be people will be paying too close attention to him to disturb anybody.”

Three years ago JohntHarris, a prisoner in tle county jail in Chicago, was carried out of prison dying of consumption. He had been convicted of murder and sentenced to serve for life, but when his health failed he was allowed to return to his home in California to die. Harris improved in health, joined the rush to Cape Nome, and now it turns out that he is worth $500,000 and is known as “The King of Cape Nome.” The stories that come down from the frozen north would fill many an interesting -book.

“ Hundreds of horses and thousands of , cattle in the Hawaiian islands never take a drink of water. The ranges are on the upper altitudes of the mountains, where the cattlé run wild from the time they are born until they are . sent to the slaughter house. Except possibly two-or three months in the rainy season there are no streams or poois of water in any part where the cattle range, but everywhere there grows a recumbent, jointed -grass known by the native name of maninia. This is both food and drink.

Uncle Sam has a regular contribu—“ tor to the general fund of the govern- | ment. Promptly the first week of every quarter a check for $75 is received at the treasury department, with a request that it be placed in the miscellaneous fund of the treasury, from which it can only be withdrawn by a special act'of congress. The money is from a veteran of the civil war. He is an employe of the Philadelphia mint. He explained in his letter that as lcng as the government employed him at a good salary he would not accept the pension. —— Alexander Huston, who died at Laurel Hill, was the bugler of the first section of the famous Light brigade that made the charge upon the Russian guns at Balaklava.

An Alliance Formed Between Eng- - land and Germany. The Compact Has for Its Purpose the Prevention of a Partitioning of China -. Text of the : ; Agreement. London, Oct. 22.—Germany and England have formed an alliance to maintain territorial integrity of China and to keep ports open. ; " .The terms ‘of this agreement, which was arrived at October 16, between Lord Salisbury and Count von Hatzfeldt, German ambassador to England, are officially given out as follows: “The German government and her British majesty’s government, being destrous to maintain their interests in China and their rights under existing treaties, have agreed to observe the following principles regarding a mutual policy in China: “Firstly—lt is a matter of joint permanent international interest that the ports on the rivers and litteral of China should remain free and open to trade and to every other legitimate form of economic activity for the peoples of all countries without distinction; and the two governments agree on .their part to uphold the same for all Chinese territory as far as they can exercise influence. ‘““Secondly—Both governments agree that they will. not on their part make use of the present complication to obtain for themselves any territorial advantage in Chinese dominion, and will direct their policy towards maintaining undiminished the territorial condition of the Chinese empire. ! | “Thirdly—ln case of another power making use of the complications in Chkina in order to obtain under any form whatever such territorial advantages, the contracting parties reserve to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding regarding the eventual step to be taken for the protection of their own interests in China. ‘“Fourthly—The two governments will communicate this agreement to the other powers interested, especially Austria-Hun-gary, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States, and invite them to accept the principles recorded in it.” Received in Washington. Washington, Oct. 22.—The state department has received a copy of the Anglo-German agreement regarding China. ‘lt was sent to the department Saturday afternoon by Count de Quadt, the German charge d’affaires; who earlier in the day had received it by telegraph from Count von Buelow, the German chancellor at Berlin. The official version is identical in terms with that already published, and it was communicated to our government with only a formal letter of transmission. Count de Quadt is very much gratified over the agreement between the two powers, and- believes it. augurs well for thee prompt beginning of peace negotiations in China. Nothing has yet come to our government from the American embassy at Berlin touching the agreement between Germany and England.' The feeling on the subject of state department officials is one of general ‘satisfaction and is recognized as in line with the attitude ‘of the United States toward China, as already defined by Secretary H4y and by other great powers. The officials say, however, that it is probably a misnomer to call it an alliance. :

Comment in London. London, ©Oct. 22.—A1l the morning papers dilate upon the high importance of the Anglo-German agreement. The Daily Telegraph describes it as “The: most remarkable success scored by British diplomacy since the Berlin treaty.” Most of the papers warmly approve the agreement and recognize in it a warning to other powers, especially Russia.

Approved in Austria.

Vienna, Oct. 22.—1.. e Fremdenblatt and the Neue Freie Presse approve the agreement between England and Germany, and express. themselves as confident that all the powers will adhere to it, “because any power . declining to do so would excite distrust.”’ i

German Press Approves.

Berlin, Oct. 22.—With the exception of a few notorious.y anti-British journals, the entire German press approves the Anglo-German agreement. Its effect upon Russia excites keen curiosity, it being no secret that the relations between Germany and Russia have lately become cooler.

Imperial Troops Defeated.

London, Oct. 22.—*“Official Chinese dispatches,” says the Shanghai correspondent of the Standard, “admit that the imperial troops have sustained defeats in the province of Kwang Tung. All the Chinese generals in Kwang Tung and Kwang Si are begging for reenforcements. The leaders of the Yegetarians, the secret society whose members last July murdered the missionaries at Chu Chau, have been captured and taken to Hang Chau for punishment. It is reported that a Triad army is preparing to attack Canton.” Three Thousand Massacred. Victoria, B. C., Oct. 22.—According to a correspondent of the Shanghai Mercury, Bishop Fontosati, in South Honan, was tortured four hours by Chinese. Different members of his body were removed singly. Two priests were covered with coal oil and placed in a pattern of sticks, which were then set afire. Bishop Fontosati was disemboweled and others were frightfully tortured. Three thousand converts, led by French priests, in defending their church were massacred. Engineer and Fireman Killed. Altoona, Pa., Oct. 22.—Sunday afternoon a locomotive and several cars were thrown from the track near Howard, Center county, on the Bald Eagle railroad by running over a cow.

MORE FORECASTS.

Estimates on the Result of the Eleetion Come from Leaders of Both Parties.

Chicago, Oect. 22.—Forecasts on the outcome of this campaign issued from both the republican and the democratic headquarters Satturday. While not given out by Chairman Jones, the democratic predictions have his indorsement, and, for that reason, they carry greater interest ghan any heretofore produced. It is the first time that he has consented to give any attention to detailed predictions. Having indorsed the subjoining tabulation, he goes on record as declaring that Mr. Bryan is sure of 272 electoral votes, that McKinley cannot lay claim to more than 116, and that there are 59 in the ‘doubtful column. Should McKinley get all these they would do him no good. Here is the arrangement of states and votes that the democratic = national chairman indorses: $ Mc- DoubtState. | Bryan. Kinley. ful.

It was made by him partly in reply to the foregoing democratic table, though, aside from that, Mr. Payne declares that his division of the electors is based upon entirely trustworthy reports from every state about which there is any room for argument. His estimate gives McKinley 294 electoral votes'as certain, and, on the claim that the republicans have an even chance of winning in Nebraska and Utah, he thinks the full strength of the president’s electoral vote will not be less than 305. This may be increased by the addition of Colorado, Idaho and Nevada. With those McKinley’s strength in the college would be 315. Mr. Payne’s forecast is as follows: ° _ SURE FOR M'KINLEY.
