Mr. Noyes is purulent of Uu Aennotor company of Chicago. IJk i;i i:li.ki: is Miil the subject oi wide praise for ins princely gift to the University of Chicago but he lias oaly turned a portion of his wealth back into the channels from w hence it came. Tin: aeri:on made by Col.

NMK one man was killed and the whole crew of a lake steamer made sick on account of the use of baking soda which had become deadly poison by chemical action it will be well for cooks to keep a close watch on their soda boxes. This is one kind of change that the people surely do not want. Tiik attorney general of Illinois has rendered an opinion declaring it illegafor insurance companies or agents to enter into an agreement regarding rates for insurance, rebates, etc. This opinion is based on the trust laws of that state, the most surprising thing about it being that it was not declared long ago. As a rule a politician may be described as one who always takes an active interest in politics, because lie regards the government as a system of cilices, which he can aiways hold in part, and control, solely because it is his proper possession on account of his having worked IV his party. Tin: common interests of every one in a community are incidentally the same, anil to insure promotion, must be thoroughly understood. An attempt to create distrust and dissatisfaction by a constant raking over tin coals those who have been chosen to conduct the public affairs, for no othej eause than a uifl'erence in opinion on matters that are entirely foreign to their public dutv, aie not only detrimental to the common interest, but di gusting io sensible men. AFJOUT THE EARTHQUAKE, The earthquake of last Wednesday, whirh appears to liave been due at least in part to the subsidence of a large area of !and in the Indiana nuturg:ss n-gjon, adds interest lo recent reports that the land is sinking along the Guif of Mexico, and partioulary so near the mouths of the Mississippi. Maj. Quinn of the L'nited States Kngineer Corps has given to (he N'ew Orleans Times-Democrat a statement of the facts, as interesting of these is that the observed change of level is due to a falling of tht; land, not to a rising of the water. The rate of change on the0lf coau is so rapid, m comparsion with what is observed elswhere, that it might be fear d the lowlands of Louisiana soon will disappear below (he ocean level but for the fact that tht rate necessarily is diminishing and has a limit from the conditions. In other parts of the world the relative lowering is mostly due to the washing away of the soil by rains w hich pound on the surface with an aggreate force of many millions of tons annually, and the resulting streams carry the silt and detritus into the ocean Uut on the Louisiana coast the chief cause ol the land subsiding is its solidification. The sod was formed by deposits from areas nearer the source of the river hystem,and released under the operation of the well known law that the pover of a stream to hold solid matter in suspension varies with its velocity. That is why the river tends to make land at and near its mouth at the expense of the soil and rocks of the higher parts of its valley. Chicago Tribune. Fort Wayne is going to rid itself of all suspicious characters and all parties who do not liave visible means of support. The superintendent ot police says the young men who hang around saloons, stand on the sidewalks, wear good clothes and spend money herd and there, who have no visible means of support, have all been spotted and evidence has been collected against them and they, together with all suspicious characters must go to jail or leave the city.

The finding of wreckage along the lake shore brings out theories as to how, when, and where the Chicora foundered. Since she was iost wreckage has b-en found all the way from South IIaen to Chicago. After every storm of late some piece of the steamer has been found, which leads many to adopt the belief that she is near shore and in shallovv water or this wreckage would not become detached from the boat. It is said that the motion of the waves, even in the heavy seas, does not go lifty feet below the surface of the lake. The wreckage discovered within the past few months has mostly been found between here and South Haven. Since the blow of Sunday much wreckage has come ashore south of St. Joseph. Some of this is recognized as coming from the steamer's upper works. The beach is strewn with wreckage of various kinds. Many packages of canned goods have also been found. The wreckage consists of portions of upper works, fenders, etc. A window frame and a piece of a door, which were found, are indentitied as having belonged to the steamer and besides this several pieces of furniture have been found. Some of the wreckage has the appearance of being newly detached, but the majority of it has been in the water a long time. Michigan City News. A Thief liroke Into a Print Mioi an! Mole Copiea of the Papers. The noterity received through the columns of the Chicago papers of the town of Lemont, 111., has been very pronounced. Uut the latest from that city lays all depredations comitted by the night prowlers into the shade. The Cook County News came to the front last week with the announcement that a thief had broken a window, and stolen and carried awiy by sham muscular force, copies of tint paper. When a newspaper creates such a desire among the denizens of its vicinity to be in posession of its publication its success as a molder of public opinion is surely established. Unless, the cause for faking the papers is the necessity of having them to put under carpets. The latest thing being most plausible. Th. re Could He -No 31 intake. Some time ago an amorous young man sent a letter to a (Jerman lady, and this postscript was added: "Thai my darling may make no mistake, remember I wi!! vir a li'jht pair of trousers aim a dark cutaway coat. In my right hand 1 will carry a cane and in my left a cigar. Yours ever Jake." The father replied,courteously stating that his daughter had given him authority to represent her at the appointed place at the time agreed on. His postscript was as follows: "Dot mine son make no mishdakes I vill be dreshed in mine shirt sieves. I vill vear in mine right hand a glub; in mine left hand 1 vill vear a six shooter. You vill recognize me by the vay 1 bats you on de head a goaple time twice mid de glub. Vait for me at de corner as 1 have somedings important to inform you mit, Your freut Heinrich Muller." A l'oloi'ctl Town. There is a town in this state that is peculiar in its make-up, by which w e mean its inhabitants. We refer to the village of Lovejoy in St. Clair county, not far from the progressive city of Uelleville. Lovejoy probably enjoys the distinction of being the only town in the United States where all the officials are colored men and where the great majority of the citizens are negroes. This town has 800 inhabitants, of whom tWO are negroes, the others being whites. There are three colored churches, two colored schools and one white school, but the latter as well as the former are in charge of colored men. There is a colored justice, a colored mayor, colored commissioner ot highways, colored collector and colored policeman. The Illinoians would scarcely believe such a thing ossiblo in this state, but it is a fact, nevertheless. Shelbyville, 111., Union. Will Not AttVvt Tliem.

A Ouoliini T-u.i!y - nswrrvfl. The Columbia City Post in a recent issue.asksthe following: "Would freedom benefit Cuba? Are the people there capable of self government? Is it not absolutely necessary to have a strong government in order to keep such a mixture of the lower grades of humanity in control? Would not freedom result disasterously to the industrious inhabitants, and establish anarchy and communism V A republic must have a good deal of courage and morality and integrity behind it. It is very doubi ful if Cuba Jotild exist very long as an independent power." Questions of just as much importance were asked some thirty odd years ago regarding the slaves of the south. It was argured by those opposed to freeing the colored man, that he was. better oil in slavery and under the lash of task masters, than he would be if given his freedom. With the Cubans a little different condition ofaffairs confronts them While it may be truly said that there are circumstances that present themselves to an educated and advanced race of people, which have a tendency to raise the question of their ability to rule themselves, yet, when taken into consideration the enormous burden they have for years been compelled to carry by a nation of spendthrifts, and have been dragged down the depths of degradation that they now occupy by a soulless master, it is an opportune time for :hem to have the privilege of handling their on governmental affairs. Yis, freedom would be a blessing to Cuba, both morally and financially. i : x c i i : s i n ; s o t r 1 1 . L" r Hates to Atlanta via lYiuiy I aina I-iiifs.

PARIS IS PREPARED. If She Is A?ain Ucsieged She Joen Xot Menu to Starve. Taking Into account the remarkable advances that science has made in the way of preserving and compressing food so that it can be stored in an infinitely small space in proportion to its nutriment, it is not likely that any besieged citj' in the future will undergo the horrors of starvation. Paris hao learned a substantial lesson from the experience siie had in 1S70 and 1S71, when the German invaders completely surrounded the city and prevented any food whatsoever from going in. If, in fact, an attack should come at a moment's notice, the Parisians would cow find themselves well supplied and with everything in their warehouses necessary to support life for an indefinite time. The war department ha3 made the accumulation of an enormous stock of provisions its especial hobby. Not only meat, flour, biscuits, preserved vegetables and solid soups are stored in the government magazines, but also milk, "Pasteurized," and ntroleum, wood, chemicals and coa'i. Even the horses have been kept in mind, for there are packed away great stocks of compressed fodder and grass preserved by the silo system. "That all these supplies can be kept on hand in the comparatively small space the war department has for the storing of provisions is not so remarkable when it is remembered that 4i,000 rations of preserved vegetables can be stored in a spice measuring forty inches each way. Milk, the scarcity of which was a great cause of distress during the siege of Paris, is now well provided for. Dr. Autefage's method of "Pasteurizing" milk, which the government has adopted, will preserve this important necessity of life for almost any length j of time, rendering it pure and sweet after months, and even years. The storage of ice can be dispensed with in the storage rooms, and by the use of ammonia machines it can be readily made for household and garrison use. This is extremely important as regards preserving meat. One special feature of the policy of the war department is that it has all its arrangements perfected towards immediately collecting, in case of Impending danger, hundreds of thousands of carcasses of beef and mutton and hundreds of thousands of fowls. In a few hours almost the city could be substantially provisioned for nearly a year in this reirrl. Besides this, scores of thousands of cans of preserved meats are kept continually on hand.

A cargo of thirteen thousand bunchrs of bananas, intended for the New YorX market, was thrown irto the harbor i.vently at Port Limon. As tho steamoi had arrived two days late the fruit hao become too ripe for shipping, but that has not interfered with the price or the salo of the fruit in this city, snys the New York lbrald. It seems to have had, however, the contrary effect, for several dealers regretted that it had not bt en a dozen eargoc3 that had found a resting place in southern seas rather than to be shipped to this already overstocked market. "I have been," said a well-known commission fruit merchant, "twenty-three years in this business, and have never seen so low a market for bananas as to-day. Six weeks ago I decided not to handle them at all this season. The fruit is too ripe on arrival. It is almost impossible to get green fruit. There has been a time when sixty thousand does not average one cargo daily. The sale of poaches, especially, and domestic fruits, interferes with the sale of bananas. When they are too ripe for commission-houses they are gold, or, rather, given away, to tho street venders." Importing Cat Skiua. Th?re are SO.oni) skins of house cat3 exported from the United States every year. These skins come from all parti of the country, a wholesaler seldom iecciving a consignment of furs from a country correspondent that does not include a number of cat skins. When the correspondent receives l." enl apiece for them on an average he may consider that lie is doing remarkably well. There is very little demand for cat skins in this country, except for cat tail rugs and other nudities, sometimes for trimmings, and very rarely as a chest covering in winter for an oil man who belongs to the customs of a past generation. So the New York wholesaler sorts his cat skins into lot J of a half-dozen different grades, and sends them to London, to be sold at the quarterly auctions of one of tha great fur dealers. The skins of black cats bring the most money, and as many as 10.000 of them have been disposed of for CO cents apiece. Yellow cat skins are next in value. Maltese and body-mixed colors bring the least, often going for o cents apiece, or. rather, they bring the least of th full-, grown cats, for there is a dennnd at' 3 and ' i nts apiece for the skiiu of lit tie I..
