LOJTOOX, June 24. — Her majesty's great twin scr^w oattleship Victoria, flyinjf the flag of Vice Admiral George C. Ti-yon, K. C. B., commander of the Mediterranean station, was sunk in 18 fathoms of water off Tripoli, and a t least 400 of her officers and crew went to the bottom with her. The disaster was due to the fearful bungling of either her own oflicers or those of the battleship Camperdown. In broad daylight, during a maneuver, she

of an hour she had disappeared in tho waves, carrying with her all on board. Twenty-one oflicers, including Vice Ad-miral Tyron, are reported drowned, and the great fighting ship lies a use-less wreck,, bottom side up, beneath the waves.

Tripoli, Bear where the accident hap-pened, is about 70 miles from Damas-cus. I t has a small harbor, which Is so shallow as to be notoriously un-bafe. I t Is supposed that the Victoria found a lack of sea room In put-t ing about as the Camperdown came on and the latter boat hit the flagship squarely on the starboard side with her ram. The Camperdown was moving under a high steam pressure and the effect was such as would have been

. The plates of the Victoria just for-ward of the turret were torn apart and ii perfect flood poured Into the hold of tho flagship. She began to sink im-mediately. The enginesof the Camper-down were reversed at once, but not be-fore she had hit the Victoria a second time and completed the work of de-struction. Every effort was made to •save the ship, but the Victoria settled so fast that this was seen to be Impos-sible, and the men, losing all discipline, cast loose the small boats and attempt-ed to reach tlie Camperdown. Only three of the boats got free of the suc-tion of the sinking ship. The rest were overt-nmed and many of the occupants

f these wore drowned with the men were cooped up in the battleship

beyoni all chance of rescue. Vice Ad-miral Tryon is said to be one of those who went down toth the ship. The Victoria hardly moved forward af te r the blow. The water poured so rapidly

The day had been brightened by the sun but a few minutes when the guards and early risers In Midway were attracted to the Algerian village by a mighty hubbub.

WIDESPREAD RUIN.

MARQUETTE, June 23.—Information was received Wednesday to the effect that the hamlet of Ewing, in Chocolay township, this county, together with Kearney's sawmill, was destroyed by forest fires Sunday. The loss is about fS,000. The charcoal kilns upon which the place depended have been closed down. Nearly all the inhabitants had moved away, and the few wl\o were left had a very narrow escape. Fire destroyed the headquarters of the Thomas Nestor estate lumbering op-erations at O'Brien and the large general •store, warehouses and barns. The camps, with their entire con-tenUs were in ashes. The loss exceeds 115,000. This was one of the largest lumber camps in north-ern Michigan. Five thousand acres of Baydonoquette homestead country, opened to settlement last" November, have been burned over, and all stand-ing pine was damaged so badly that it will have to be cut this summer to be salable a t a l l I t Is freely charged that lumbermen started the fire to eompel homesteaders to sell the timber at once. Much suffering is en-tailed, as settlers are left utterly desti-tute and depend upon the slow trans-portation for supplies. The huckle-berry crop, which forms an important source of revenue to Marquette during several weeks of the summer, will amount to little this season, as tbe berry plant*, from Chooolay to Sand river, have been swept by fire.

FOR LIFE.

mm#nee Passed Upon Frank Hayes. Aged *0. for Mnrder at Detroit.

DETROIT, J u n e 26.—Frank Hayes h a s been declared guilty of murder and sentenced to imprisonment for life. He was taken to the state's prison Satur-day night. He is not quite 20 years old.

The jury was out two hours and two jurymen voted seven times for acquit-tal before an agreement was reached. A more heartrending scene has never been witnessed in court than when Hayes was declared guilty. He appar-ently felt no emotion, but his mother and sisters, residing in Rochester, were broken down with grief.

iThc crime ot which Hayes was convicted Is tha t of shooting Fred H. Kelly, a clerk In Caldwell's drug store in this city. Kelly was also under 20 years old. On thc, morning of November 1» last he was found dead in the cellar of the store He had been shot in the back of the head The murderer evldenUy roused Kelly st night on the plea of filling a prescription. A bogus written pre-scription was found at thc case. Kelly had begun te put i t up and had taken the lamp to go Into thc'cellar to replenish a bottle. I t is surmised that the murderer fcllowed the clerk Into the collar and shot him there. Kelly's pockets were rifled and his overcoat and revolver were mlsslnfe. Suspicion imme-diately settled upon Hayes. He was found at his boarding place, with his satchel packed and about to leave. In the satchel were the revolver and overcoat which belonged to the murdered b o y j

G R E E N V I L L E , June 23.—The City na-tional bank suspended nayment Thnrs day morning, and George B. Caldwell, bank examiner, took possession. The failure is due to a steady run on the bank, which has continued since Jnne 1, 152,000 having been with-drawn in three weeks and the inability of the bank officers to negotiate loans, although they had gilt-edged securities. The examination up to this time shows 12,10,000 deposits aud 1812,000 assets. I t is not known yet whether the bank will be able to resume or have to go into the receiver's hands. The bank was ex-

ACaUfornln Inferno Which Has Swallowed Cp a Small Army of Tlucky Seekers Aft-er tho Yellow Metal—How Two Men Man-aged on Their Terrible Trip.

God mhy have wrought a place more ter-j'rible than the Cocopah desert of Ixiwer Cal-1 ifomia but if so it is unmarked by the trail of mortal. A desert from which Dante might have ndded to the horrors of his "In-ferno" a level of gray death, feared of man and forgotten of its creator, a region sepa-rated from the seething caldron below by a thin crust of sand, through which the fumes and heat from the ebb and flow of lire soem plainly apparent.

As a starting point for a desert trip find Campo, a village in southern California near the Mexican boundary and about 60 miles back of the coast Una Twenty miles south of that, as an initial point, run a line of 100 miles southeast until It touches thc gulf coast line. Between that line and the gulf lies the famous Cocopah desert with its range of mountains—a territory about 100 miles square, but as little known as the Interior of Africa An innocent looking little spot on the map, but on the surface of what it represents He bleaching the bones of many men, both white and red. You will note that it is not marked with the ilg iag lines which generally denote water-conmis, nor is it marked with the shaded line« representing mountains. Why? Sim ply because as yet there baa been found no oorpsof engineers with sufficient hardihood to attempt its survey. There are maps of the region, but they are seared on the brains of lees than half a dozen hardy prospector*.

Standing on the line you have drawn and looking eastward you may see the outlines of a range of low mountaiiy dlstani, with water 40, possibly 60 milea Without wa ter eternity intervenes between you and that range of hills rising darkly purple through the shimmering heat. That stretch of 40 or 00 miles Is the worst part of the Cocopah desert—a wide stretch of arid, sterile, sandy plain lying far below the level of the sea and absolutely devoid of vegetation and life in any form. Too hot and dry for even the lizard and homed

the heat radiates from the sand and rocks with scorching effect, blistering the skin.

Forty or 60 miles is not a great distance, you say. and ought to be covered in less than 34 hours. Other good men have thought the same and tried It. Their bones scattered about on tlhe sand afford pAof of their error. Every year for nearly half a century that desert has claimed its vic-tims singly and In groups. Yearly since the Argonauts drifted south from the gold fields In the center of California men have started for the Cocopahs and never re-turned.

Onoo having reached the mountains, you are not saved from death by thirst. There are but two or three places in all that range on the west side where water fit to drink may be found. There are strange phenom-ena in that region, however, which are worthy of a scientific exploration. At the foot of the mountains, on the west, is a lake known as the Laguna Salad o. It is prob ably eight milfts In length and from one to two miles in width, lying parallel with the range. The water is very salt and has tides like the ocean's. Its shores are fringed with a marine vegetation, and it is evident that the lake is fed from the gulf of Cali-fornia but the gulf is more than 60 miles away, and a range of monntains intervenes.

WTiat lures men to that locality and tempts them to cross those burning sands' Gold.

Of tne hundreds that have tned to reach these mountains, that El Dorado of mucho oro, there are but a pitiful few t W bs™ ever returned. Among the latter are J. M. Brown and Jacob Crawford, two old time miners. Four year- ago they "outfitted"' at the little village of Campo and started for the Cocopah country. Two years later, gaunt, thin and hollow eyed, they drifud Into the little Mexican town of Ensenada some 60 miles down the coast. Their belts were full of gold, however, and after rest-ing they refitted and disappeared. From that time nothing was heard of them until Monday, when they arrived In this dty.

When they started for the desert, in ad-dition to the usual supply of provisions and necessary prospectiflg tools, they had made four canteens of zinc, each of six gallons capacity and ao constructed as to fit the backs of their burros. Onthe back of each

"Oh, Agnes!" cried Blanche hysterically. J "don't go, don't leave us!"

"If you will kindly let go my plait, Blanche,'' I said utemly, "I won't desert you. I'm only going over to tbe window." I left the poor thing collapsed entirely on the edge of the bed, and crossing the room softly looked down into the side yard. Hor-

of horrors! there was a bright light ror streaming from the dining room windows. My frightened exclamation brought the other two flying over. "Heavens! how many of them are theref"—this from Kitty.

"Will you go up and waken Ann Doyle, Agnes?" asked Blanche.

"Well, no. Blanche," 1 replied emphatic ally. "I don't yearn to be killed on thc stairs. If you or Kilty want to run the risk and go up to the third story in the dark, why, go ahead."

"I guess Aim Doyle can taku care of hex self," said Kitty, with conviction.

"Agnos. wbere's the candlef" "Left it on the mantel!" 1 answered with

unnatural calmness. So she went over to find it and couldn't, aud Blanche and 1 helped, and between us we succeeded in knocking over the alarm clock, a pitcher of water and a glam, but uo candle material IRAL

This was truly disheartening. "Is there any blessed thing to defend ourselves with when they get up this far?" asked level beaded Kitty.

uKot a mortal thing but the curling irons," 1 said, "and yon'd bettertake them. Kit. You're the strongest."

"You take the Jamaica ginger. Agnes, and thiow It in nnrae of their eyes," sug-gested Blanche incoherently. Sheactually did.

'"Do It yourself. Blanche," 1 answered scathingly, and then began tugging might and main at the bed to drag It In front of the door. With a tremendous effort we managed to dump the trunk In on the mat-tress and piled all the chairs and promiscu-ons furniture oo top of that again, and then there was nothing to do but plump down on the floor and await our awful fate In the sickening silence.

In tbe meantime the muffled pounding Still continued Presently Blanche stirred "Agnes, I feel that I must scream," she •aid presently.

"Don't dare," I commanded fiercely. Let ns all put oar heads out front and

shriek," suggested Kitty, So we fumbled our way over And raised one of the windows very gently. It was inky black outside, and with the exception of the habitation Joining ours there was not a cottage within half a square any direction, and the waves were booming on the shore at a deaf-ening rate.

No use screaming against that everlast-ing wind and water," I said "A steam whistle couldn't be heard with that com-motion." '

Blanche began to deliberately whimper at thia Big baby! Really Blanche some times acta more as If she were 6 than IS.

"Agnes, don't you remember seeing Dr. Cooper's sign op next door as we came in yesterday?'' suddenly whispered Kitty.

He must be a man, you know." she added logically, "so let's all thump oo the wall If he sleeps in there, he'll bear us and come to the rescnc unless he's 8 onward."

"Thank heaven! that's a grand idea, Kit-ty," 1 cried almost Joyfully, and with that we each found a slipper or something and began hammering in unison at abont tbe spot where one w oul^ suppone l ie duOur's headboard to be

It seemed as though we had knocked for hours before we heard an answering -oios, and when we did hear it we were so star-tled that we dropped brush and irons and everything simnltaneoasly. "Hello!" came through the psrtition In sleepy masculine tonea "What's up anyhow?"

i put my lips dose to the wall and re-plied: "For pity's sake, help ua There are burglars in the house." There was a muf-fled sound of energetic motion, and again the doctor spoke: "Hold on, cheer up," he called informally. "1 have a 'phone in my room, and I'll just wake tbem op at the station. You'll have a couple of policemen in less than five minutes."

"Oh, thank Godl" exclaimed Blanchc tregically, and we all sank down on the conch and huddled up close. All this while the noises below had never ceased. "They must be smashing all the down stairs fur-niture," said poor Blanche dolefully, and Kitty and 1 sighed in dismal acqiftesoence. Prssently there came a tap at the wall, and iltunrnring myself violently from Blanche sod i i t t y I ran over and answered thaaig-nal. "CLn't get any answer (rom the sta-

pose I had done the sumo thing and chased away like a simpleton. What would the man have thought? "Didn't you bring your pistol?" I quavered.

"I have none," be answered calmly, "bnt I this loaded stick and a strong right aim will got In some good work if we can get Into action at once," he added, with a mean-ing glance at the unsightly pyramid before the door.

"We put them there to keep them out," I explained lucidly, with my face like burn-ing coals, and forthwith made a frantic dash at thc obstruction in the attempt to remove everything in a flash.

But the doctor pushed me firmly aside. "Allow me," he said gently. "You will hurt yourself," and putting his shoulder against the lied ho moved it aside with the ease of a modem Hercules. Then I unbolt-ed the door with shaking fingers, and as the doctor beganJ.o creep cautiously down JCit- i ty condescended to come out, an5 we boih ' leaned over the banisters, not daring to breathe. Just as our hero got underneath j l Kittle carelessly let the hot candle drip . down on his lovely head and nearly spoiled 1 everything, for the doctor jumped and said something pretty loud, and the next in-stant he sprang like a panther at the din-ing room door and flung It wide open. } Shriek upon shriek and the most desperate :

groans burst out on our terrified ears. Then 60und§ of a scuffle and then a woman's voice alone

"Oh, heavens, they've been killing Ann Doyle!" sobbed Kitty, clutching at my arm convulsively. "Oh, Agnes, Isn't this per-fectly awful"—but Kitty never got further In her lamentations, for nt that Instant Ann Doyle and the doctor emerged, alive and well, from the brilliant dining room. We all rushed down, and a nice sight we were. I'm sure. "Arrah, thin. Miss Ag-nes," began Ann Doyle forlornly, "it's torry I am to alarum yez all like this, but me tooth's been aching that bad all night, an I had no clock, bad cess to It for a cablft of a place, so I thought It must be near mornin anyways, an I'd jist get up an chop a bit of kindlin for the fire, so I did. An IHn sure I beg your pardon, hopin yez won't tell your mamma, for It's crazy she'll think 1 am. shure."

"Oh. it's all right, Ann," I said feebly. "The only thing is, we've given the doctor so much trouble." I went on, not daring to look at him.

Pshaw! that's nothing, I assure you," said that amiable young man, with Im-mense good will "I'm only too glad it was nothing serious. And I'm afraid I badly frightened Ann In the midst of her exemplary occupation,"

"Shure. it's a crary man I thought yon were," said Ann irreverently.

"We are gwfully grateful to you for your kindness, doclor," murmured Kitty from tbe gloom of the top stair.

The doctor bowed to the darkness above "Nothing but a pleasure," he said, with ]

flattering sincerity, and turned to go. I escorted him to the door, and we had

some trouble with the bolts. He was clum-sy enough getting them undone, goodness knows

"Good night," he finally said, "and, oh, by the way. It's my father who is the doc-tor, you know. They're all away tonight, you know. I am only bis eldest hopeful-Walter Cooper, at your service. So glad we're to be n'dghbors. Please remember, If I can be of service to you at any time, you have only to command in the same way as before if you like," and our hero in-dulged in a ringing laugh that was faintly echoed by the silly thing on the stairs.

"Oh, thank you ao much," I managed to mumble after I had laughed, Mo, and as you can't talk to a man forever without looking at him I raised my eyes—and drop-ped them agkin quickly enough. Gracious! He was handsome I wonder what in the world he thinks of me—that Is, of all of us —by this time

Kitty and Blanche would love to know.

A VicioiiH Act.

Yesterday the civilized world was as-tounded by the news ^l.at Governor Altgdd of Illinois had pardoned the an-archists F I E L D E N , S C H W A B and N B B B B

His action is an outrageous misuse of the pardoning power and is condemmed by both his own party papers (demo cratic) and those of thc opposition. Of it the Detroit Free Press says:

The throwing of bombsat the Haymar ket was less o a surprise to the country than was his (Gov. Altgeld) issuance oi a pardon to F I E L D E N , N E B B B and S C H -

WAB. Whatever pressure was brought to bear upon him has been kept 8P ,1 U .

lously from the public, which had uen erally approved the punishment it,filet ed upon the main Instigators of the de-plorable riot, That he did not act un-on a sudden Impulse appears in the fact that he enters into a labored explana-tion of his course, and that he understood It would require a great deal of explain ' n i r j « f a i r , y concluded from Ins use of

. 17,000 words in an attempt to justify It After the Supreme Court of the United States had affirmed the action of the In-ferior courts, and all had been done that an ably-conducted defence could do for the accused, the Governor finds at this lite day that they were not given a fair trial and turns them loose upon the world as martyrs to a cause which has no proper place in a country like this.

The Detroit Tribune comments as fol-lows:

Governor Altgeld's pardon of the Chi-cago anarchists is an outrageous abuse ot executive clemency. Of the three men now set free by executive mandate two were originally sentenced to be hanged, and the third, Oscar Neebe, was sentenced to fifteen years' imprison-ment, On the evening prior to the exe-cution Schwab and Fielden were ex-tended executive clemency, and had their sentences commuted to life impris-onment, These three men should have served out their full terms. Their re lease at this time, when they have been imprisoned less than six j ears, is with-out a shadow of justification from any point of view whatever except that of the innocence of all tho men engaged In the despicable conspiracy which led to the Haymarket massacre, and that the execution of Parsons, Spies and the oth ers was judicial murder. His pardon of Fielden, Schwab and Ni.ebe Is In effect an admission that a great wrong was done by the State of Illinois In convict lug and hanging five of the anarchist enng and putting three others in prison It cannot be pretended that the trial was unfair or that new evidence has been discovpred tending to minimize the guilt of Fielden. Schwab and Neebe. or that these men are about to die. or that they have repented and reformed, or that they were in any way victims of false testimony, or that any of the usual reasons exist for the exercise of the par-doning power. Governor Altgeld has sirtiply pardoned tho anarchists by an arbitrary use of the authority vested in him, and he has used his power simply because he is in sympathy with anarchy and its aims and believes the Haymarket conspirators to have been unjustifiably dealt with.

Tbe Wool Market. t Very little wool Is being either bought

or sold, and all that stives the market from utter stagnation is the present needs of the manufacturers. With "free wool" staring it In the face, and "tight money" pressing upon dealers, the condition of the market can hardly be wondered at. Not since 1830 has the price been so low as at prwenr,. It Is now practically on a free wrtol bisis. Dealers have lost confil nee in th»-market. hnd are not looking for any very sreat improvement. The timulUA of tbe buyers has been incre^s.'d by the failure of several large manufacturing concerns, which were supposed to be perfectly sound. Other failures are ex-pected, which will still further increase the d epression. —Michigan Tradesman.

C H I U A O O , 111., June 38.—Michigan people who visit the world's fair find on the grounds a state building which is large enough to hold three regiments, one to each floor. All the floors, except for the space given to stuffed animals and state education, are devoted to the free use of visitors.

Visitors will find that Michigan's big house is essentially a home or sort of lounging headquarters. The broad veranda which runs around the build-ing is plentifully supplied with chairs and benches. In the large Muskegon and Saginaw reception rooms of the first floor are easy chairs and leather j sofas. On the second floor the chairs are just being put into the assembly-room. On the third floor are rooms where several hundred people may eat lunch at one time. The custodian says that the building can accommodate 8,000 people comfortably in one day..

It is estimated that up to date 30,000 Michigan people have visited the build-ing and registered. This represents about the total attendance from Michi-gan at the centennial in 1870. The rec-ord shows thatSl.OOO peoplefrom Michi-gan went to Philadelphia. It is expected that in the month of July alone the num-ber of visitors from Michigan will be far. above 81,000. The rush has not fairly begun. Very few of the country peo pie have begun to arrive. They are said to be waiting for reduced rates on

Wmt Four Grass Covered Graves In the Old Orchard nipans to nn Old Man of To-day—A Story That Has Its Counterpart In Many VlltaaGR of Our Land.

On one of the little farms near the border of Westchester county lives "Old George Root." Everybody in that part of the country seems to know him, and many of his friends object to his living alone. The old man will not bo persuaded. He prefers to stay as ho is.

"You are obstinate, George," said one of his friends.

"No, John," replied the old man meekly. "Don't say that. I know ye mean it kind-ly, nn I'm 'bleeged to ye, but ye don't un-derstand. I've lived hero on thlsplacenlgh onto 00 year. The boys was nil born here, an. as ye know, they're all buried here. I'd be awful lonesome anywheres else—they're kind 0' company fer me."

The old man looked wistfully at the four graves down in the orchard where he says "they used to play when they was little fellers."

Tuesday the four craves were covered with flowers, placed there, not by comrades In uniform, but by the old father who hod trudged through the woods nil of Monday gathering blossoms for his Decoration day.

Every Man u nionopoiiRi, "The pot Is always calling the kettle

black," said T. J. Brownwood, a New York attorney. "This Is part icularly the case in regard to attacks on corporations, which are considered lo he In good form and strictly justified by the conduct of these dangerous institutioiis. I am Interested In the electric lluht litigation, which bids fair to outlive the yoUtigest of ns. and have been greatly amused at the way what Is known as t he Kdison monopoly has been attacked by parties who are just as grasp-ing in a small way as they blame the com-pany for being in a large way. One of those Institutions which has been especially vigorous in Its denunciation of the evils of monopoly in general mid tho incandescent, monopoly in partlculaj- is nt the present time the dcfetldOut In a suit for Ignoring state laws governing corporations. There Is nn old Scotch proverb which covers the case very accurately, and It would certain-ly be a blessing to humanity if It possessed some power to enable It to see Itself as others see It. No one, of couree, would like to defend monopoly on principle, but every man Is ii monopolist as far as oppor-tunity enables him to be."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Clever Capture. A splendid steamer was pursuing its way

over the wide waters of t he Volga in the di-rection of the Caspian sea. It was late in the evening when a young man stepped up to thc captain and requested to be put down at the next village they might come to. The stranger was set ashore, and the steamer continued on its journey. All at once another passenger came running to the captain and cried out:

"My traveling bag! Where is It? My bag with 12,000 frnm^!"

Tho captain had his suspicions. He told the man to be calm and not to mention the affair to a living soul on board. Owing to the great width of the river at that point, few, if any, of the ship's company noticed that the steamer described a large circle and shaped its course up stream. It did not altogether escape observation, however, that a flag of different colors was hoisted and a sheet of tarpaulin thrown over the bulwarks to conceal the name of the vessel. Presently a shrill Whistle announced that they were nearing a station on the river. It was the same at which the young man Lad landed.

A boat pushed off from the shore, and a man came on deck with a leather bag in his hand. He turned out to be the very passenger who bad left the steamer not long before, and who, thinking himself safe on board another vessel, now fell into the hands of his former captain and the owner of the stolen property. At first he could hardly believe his eyes, but all his doubts were dispersed when the steamer reversed its course and landed him at a "station" where he ia likely to make a pro tracted stay.—Ueber Land nnd Meer.

battalion's return—those of the gallant major himself, of Lieutenant Brewster and of Sergeant Ellis. Painfully shot and stunned and bruised though ho was, Berrien's wits had never left him. was positive that tho rush of war parties toward the old road portended mischief, and despite the lateness of the hour he ordeml the battalion to saddle at once and march to the Porcupine. From th* abandoned lodge poles found along tho banks experienced hands had quickly lashed together a comfortahle litter. Between thene improvised shafts two of the most sedate of the elderly pack mules wore harnessed fore and aft. A bed of rolx»s r.rd bhnkets was hung midway, aud while Rolfe aud liazlett pushed ahead, scouting every ridge and ravine with their keen eyed skirmishers. Gorham and Thorpe lollowed. escorting their beloved chief.

Just as was anticipated, at nightfall the distant flash and report of rifles proved that the hostiles were busily at work in some deviltry or other and. launching forward at the gallop, fiolfe s long line swooped down into thc valley in time to send the yelling circle of mounted warriors whirling away into the'ravines beyond the stream, and to rescue a little squad of scouts and troop-ers, a mere handful, who had ventured forth with dispatches for Berrien's com-mand and were fighting for life behind their slaughtered horses. Two were already sorely wounded and all would doubtless have lost their scalps but for the veteran major's clear judgment and the sense of doty that triumphed over physical pain.

"The ould man's clear grit all through," said his invariable eulogists, the troopers. But there would have been no dear old man left to them, as Ellis and Scott had borne testimony, had It not been for Brewster's daring charge into the midst of the red warriors. It was his bullet that laid low the savage brandisher of the knife just as he would have gashed the brave old major's throat: but "White Wolf had counted his last coup and, stripped of his finery, lay siiffening on the prairie a painted corpse, awaiting funeral honors at the hands of his howling comrades.

Every soldier's heart rejoiced that it was Brewster who saved the major's Ife, for Brewster, of all the subalterns, '..as flrst favorite among the rank and file. Aud as for Ellis, though he was loo esclnsive—"too much like as though hun beforer he wanted to be an offlcer"—to be gener-ally popular among the men. he had al-ways commanded their respect, and his unexpected prowess on this occasion won their genuine admiration. What nerve the fellow had. to be sure, to lie there "playing possum" just as though he were stone dead and ripe for scalp-ing, and so tempt his assailants out from the cover of the ravine, and then never stir until they were so close he simply couldn't miss, and so "got in his deadly work." Brewster and Ellis were the major's avengers, the two troopers who had dealt ont death to the foe. and who were therefore, from the soldier point of view, the men most entitled to the hon-ors of the day.

And yet. at the very moment when every other man in the regiment was lauding their names and congratnlating them upon their deserved laurels, one captain, Eoife, was practically demand-ing at the hands of his colonel that they should be stripped of their high estate and sent to the rear in arrest.

A^Dr. Holden stood there listening to the accnsations and arguments brought forward by Captain Rolfe, he could not but recall the remarks that in one form or other had occasionally been brought to his ears at Rolfe's expense. Even so conservative and loyal a fellow as War-ren, the adjutant, had once summarized his character in forcible terms. "J re-spect his ability," said he. "but damn his egotism. Rolfe in this regiment is just like the one juror who said that they could long ago have agreed on con-viction but for the eleven blooming idiots who held out for acquittal.n

Rolfe was a man of such intensity of opinion and pnrpoae that once having made up his own mind as to what some-body else ought to do, he deeme^ it not only a right but a duty to instruct the other party, no matter what that party's rank or station might be; and this was practically what Rolfe had been doing to his colonel ever since Holden ap-peared upon the scene. Personally Holden had never met Rolfe before the arrival of the regiment at Pawnee, but except a certain dogmatism of manner in discussions over points in tactics, politics, law or whist, he had decidedly liked everything about him, and told the youngsters as much when he found that they did not.

"Any man with half an eye can see that Rolfe wants to make the very best kind of an impression on Dr. and Mrs. Holden," said Randolph. "They are Miss Guthrie's nearest friends and rela-tives—at least the nearest whom he knows." But Holden also liked Brews-tor, liked him well, and could not be-lieve all that Rolfe was so strenuously urging upon the colonel, first, that Ellis was a thief and an outcast, and second, that Brewster bad known it all along and concealed it. The more positively and pnflinchingly Rolfe asserted himself the more did Holden reeent i t

Finally Rolfe had burst out with: "Well, Colonel

mending these two men. and I believed it my duty to inform yon of their char-acter. As you seem reluctant to accept my statements, I request as a matter of justice to mo that you refer my report to Major Berrien at once, and he will cor-roborate my opinion."

Then and not till then did Farquhar firmly and almost Htemly call his sub-ordinate to order. And when Rolfe had been reduced to enforced silenco tho col-onel turned to Holden, and Holden had given prompt voice to his utter objec-tion to their disturbing tho wounded major with any audi matter. "But 1 will RGIUI for Mr. Brewster, Captain Rolfe, and question him in your pres-ence." said Farquhar. And Brewster, who had just been enjoying a hearty handshake and pleasant words with sev-eral officers of the Eleventh who, despite the rising gale, had riddfen over to con-gratulate him. went blithely and briskly to answer the colonel's summons. War-ren had given him "the tip" its to the letter being prepared for Farquhar's sig-nature. It was .a joy toknow that his name was to be sent forward with the praise of his soldierly and honored chief. It was almost rapture to conjecture what Winifred Berrien would think of him when she heard that his vigilance and dash had saved her lather's life.

He looked therefore the very picture of stalwart, soldierly, brave eyed man-hood as he stepped quickly into the col-onel's tent and stood erect before the si-lent trio there assembled. He came with a heart beating high with anticipation; but one glance at Rolfe's somber and half averted face, the first words in Far-quhar's grave, though courteous tones, banished all pleasurable thought and put him on his guard.

"Mr. Brewster, if I remember aright, it was you who presented Sergeant Ellis for enlistment when we were in the ' Hills. Am 1 right?"

"Yes, sir." "You knew him before his joining as.

did you no t r "A short time, sir; yes." "Where had you known him and how

long?" "At Deadwood, sir; 1 met Mm there

on two occasions before he decided to enlist."

"Two occasions? fore he came to us?"

thought I was giving him, twenty dol-lars to pay pressing debts which he had to settle before he could leave there and come to us. He was destitute and starv-ing. He did tell mo something of his past, but whether it was true or not 1 cannot say. Tho more I see of him the more 1 believe it; believe he was a gen-tleman born and bred, and that he had had hard luck, lost home and friends and fortune: that he took to tho west and mining; that he made and lost al-ternately; that now he is reaping some reward for his labor. What I know is that he is a tiptop soldier, of whom the whole regiment has reason to be proud, even though I don't know what maf lie his own name."

Holden was listening eagerly to every word.

"May I ask a question, colonel?" "Certainly, doctor," "Brewster, did ho ever tell you where

his home was—where his relatives now live?"

"Yes—Louisvillo: and I have a packet whioh, should he be killed or mortally wounded, 1 have promised to unwrap and express to tho address written with-in. I do not now even know what it is."

"Well, did ho never speak of having lived in St. Louis—having had friends there?"

"Never so much as mentioned the place, doclor."

For a moment there was silenee, broken only by the dismal moan of the rising gale, the flap of canvas, and the creak of straining guyropea. Farquhar was still thinking deeply. At last he looked up.

"Captain Rolfe has lodged with me very serious charges against Ellis, and bases them on the report of professional detectives. As you know, I gave Ellis permission to ride over to the railway on Gorham's report that he had some important personal matters to look after. Has he returned yet?"

"He had not up to stables, sir, but his pass does not expire until tattoo, and 1 almost hope ho has not started in face of this wind. It looks like a blizzard com-ing.

for strength, he had struggled on afoot long after abandoning his fallen and crippled horse. No beckoning light, no glimmering star to guide, only the rude buffets of the cruel, pitiless blast, the Winging, biting, thrashing of the snow pelting him like small shot, to point the way, yet savagely to beat him back—to bid" him face and force them, yet furious to overwhelm and down. Weak and ex-hausted, ho had well nigh abandoned tho last restigo of hope, and a wailing cry went moaniug aloft from his cracked and frozen lips; "God in heaven guide me; bear me up; give mo strength. Itia not for myself, but those poor women God in mercy hear me. God in pity answer."

And over the wrath and fury of tbe mad hurricane, triumphing above the shriek and howl of tho temptest, ringing like the voice of archangel throngh the vault of the storm lashed skies, God's answer came. The divine pity, riding indeed upon the storm, spoke to him in the glad, thrilling, familiar strains of ihe far away trumpets of the Twelfth.

years ago as witness before a court, an2 the train was held up by road agents, Mr. Brewster. Did yon not meet this man abont that time?"

"Yes, colonel, I saw him, but I did not know him from Adam."

"You conversed with him, did you not, and were at the same hotel at Hele-na with him?"

"I did; yes, sir; and 1 was at the same hotel for thirty-six hours. But he was a total stranger to me. His dress was that of a gentleman, so was his manner, and almost everybody in our car got to talking with him. He was the only one who really saw tbe train robbers—it was all done so quickly, while we were in oar berths; but he had got aboard at some station just before tho thing oc-curred."

"Did yon not know when he enlisted that he gave an assumed nkme?"

"No, colonel, I did not For all I know Ellis is his own name."

sure indigestion.

" Wh a-t!" asked Jessie, turning a be-wildered little face from her nook In the window-seat. "What did you say, iun t Lou?"

She had repeated the question so many times that atteruoon that, natu-rally, Aunt Lou had grown rather tired of it, and answered a trifle impatiently:

"Never mind, dear; just attend to your dollies. We arc talking of a great many things that you cannot under-stand."

Jessie sighed. She had dressed and undressed her large family until the oc-cupation had lost Its charm, and Aunt Lou's sewing circle of girls was not proving so interesting as ehe had hoped. She had expected a great deal of enter-tainment from people who were sewing for a "real missionary box," but they had not seemed to include her in their conversation so thoroughly as she deem-ed desirable, and now Aunt Lou thought she couldn't even understand!

"I'd be p'llte if I was a missionary so-ciety," mused Jessie discontentedly.

Meanwhile the merry girl workers chattered on rather carelessly.

"Here's another little apron done," said one. "I've put a pocket In it to de-light the heart of some small wearer. Dear me! I wish we could levy a tax on some of the wealth of this city that Is doing nobody any good. We could send off a box worth having then."

"On old Miss Bolder, for instance," chimed another voice. "I always think of it when I see that great shut-up house of hers and remember all the money she has. It's of no use to any living creat-ure but herself, so far as I can see—un-less it is hoi cats. I suppose, as she is an olu maid, she must keep cats."

Jesaie nodded her curly head iu self-congratulation. She was quite sure she had understood that last remark.

" I guess I know where Miss Holder's big house is. and all that, as well as any-body," she said. "I could know a good many more things if they told 'em plain."

But the "telling plain" proved such a failure that she soon lest her interest in the circle. She began to wish that she had gone down town with mamma.and, finally, in utter disgust, she abandoned her dolls, slipped out of the room and down lo the front stepn. Objects of in-terest were not lacking there. The scis-sors grinder, whose burdened back al-ways made her think of the picture In Pilgrim's Progress, was followed by the man who^e loud confession, "I sedd

; root-heer," tilled her witli wonder. Si--. couldn t think wlixt he scolded 11 for, | ihbiigh. "I couise, beer was a ba-i thibg. Pr. seni ly there wan a new excitemeut—

j 11 group ul boys teasing and pealug a forlorn kitten—which kindled Jessie's fiercest indignation. In a mument she was down among them—a flash of white embroidery, flying sash and brown curls —and rescuing the poor little victim, turned upon ite persecuters.

"You bad, bad boys! Aren't you 'shamed? How'd you like to have some-body throw mud at yon, and pull all your fur off?—only, course, you haven't got any—and hurt its paw too?"

The boys laughed, but they did not oppose her, and one hail the grace to say:

"You can keep the cat if you want it, sissy."

That, however, was the very point upon which Jessie was uncertain as she returned to her seat on the step, with thc ruffled tortoise-sbf-ll iu tier arms, not uncertain about wanting it, bnt of ability to keep it. She had grave sus-picions that Bridget did not share her admiration tor cats, and that sho even considered the two already in the house a few too UNtny. Moreover, whou there bad been a special bonanza of five beau-tiful kittens, four of them had disap-peared—lost themselves somewhere, one day; it might have been because their, eyes were not open so they couid see where to go—and Jessie was never able find them. Altogether she was not sure that the kitchen was a safe place of refuge for this battered little wafi, and what to do with it was a puzzling ques-tion. Suddenly there occurred to her a thought so bright that it set eyes and curls to dancing. She ran into the hall, and catching a scarf from the hat-rack, wrapped it around pussy and herself. Then hurrying out again, she went down the street for a block, and rang the bell at a great, gloomy-looking house.

"Is the cat woman homer she asked, as the door opened.

As she waa not acquainted, she thought it might sound mora business-like to enquire for the proprietor by her office than her real name. Hie staring eyes of the German girl grew round al-so, bnt she made no answer. Jessie waited for none. Through the open

door of a room beyond she saw a lady standing by a table, and she made her way to her at once.

"I guess you are Miss Holder, 'cause I've seen you pas" by our house. I've brought you a cat."

"A—what?" asked the astonished lady, looking over her spectacles and under her spectacles.

"Cat," repeated Jessie, unrolling her bundle, and li ving to tell, all in a breath, how poor kitty had been abused, and ho»v she had not know n what to do with It until she ''remembered this place,"

It was not marvelous that Miss Holder was not enthusiastic over the draggled, rough, limping tabby so suddenly brought, to her notice. ID fact, she drew her dress away from it, and said rather sharply:

"Why, child, what possessed you? I don't want that creature."

Jessie looked at her as if she doubted the evidences of her senses.

"Don't want i tP she repeated In amazement. "Don't—want—it? Why, I thougnt that's what you were for! Ain't you the cat woman?'

"No more of a cat woman than other people, why should I be? I don't know what you mean."

Jecsie leaned her elbows on the table, and looked at the figure before her with an astonishment too profound to be mis-taken for anything else.

"What can you do with all your mon-ey tteu?" she said slowly. "Why, they talked about it at the missionary meet-ing, thio afternoon—my Aunt Lou's meeting nt our house. They said you had loui of money, but you didn't even buy any dresses, or shoes, or aprons ter poor little boys and girls; you .just took care of cats." Her eyes filled with tears of disappointment as they fell on the ill-used kitten again. "I s'pect there was one place in the world for poor kittens to stay."

Miss Holders face had grown red and white, amused and angry. She follow-ed Jessie's glance to the warm rug where poor pussy was settling herself comfortably.

"You are the queerest child I ever saw. Let the cat alone,for a little while; I don't care if she stays. Sit down here, and tell me a little more

j about that society where they say such j charitable things about their neighbors. I I'd like to know what it all means."

There was little doubt of her learning j all that Jessie's ready tongue could tell j her, but it was not exactly pleasant to | hear, even from hps so unconscious of | blame. Mies Holder smiled rather grim-ly at last, and, taking a bill from her purse, pressed It tightly into Jessie's hand, charging her to run straight home with it, and tell the society that Miss Holder had sent it for the purchase of aprons and shoes—she "thought she could spare so much beyond providing for her last cat."

The flutter created by lhat ten dollar j bill and its story, it is impossible to de-• scribe. Jessie found the circle more unmtelligibit! than ever, for they were

| pleased and mortified, grateful and pen-itent, and they exclaimed among them-selves, and kissed and scolded her in a way that was simply bewildering. Two things they agreed upon— 1 hai the money would do a great aeal ol ^oo<l, and that n vole of tnanka un-l apotogy must he sent to its donor. Such a frank, brave, honest note it was itiat it won not only

! MibS Holders pardon but her heart— j which was not a hard heart, after all. j Whether or not that first contribution 1 was a bit of revenge, she has made ' many since . from unmixed motives. {The girl circle held its last meeting in her parlors, but Jessie declined to be present She thinks she will wait until she is older, she says, "because things mix up so."—r/ic Interior.

CONNKCTION.—Six months aoo, when wc closed our studies in the Acts for a time, wc left Paul and Barnabas In JoruBaum, where they had told the s to ry of their llrst great mis-sionary tour to the Gentiles, with i t s marvel-ous suoeess, oa a proof of the presence of tho Holy Spiri t and tho Dlvlue Indorsement ot their labors. The vital but perplexing (luestlonof receiving tho Gonllles Into tho church without their becoming Jews had been wisely and fairly se t t l ed Th is wos a great era In thc history of the church. I t took place some t lmo In A. D. 60, We now take up tho narrat ive from this point.

PLACE TW THE HISTOHT.—It is best to keep In mind a brief general view of the history of the church from the cruclllxlon to the destruo-tion of Jerusalem, marked by tho leading events, and then pu t each lesson In Its place. This outline should be frequently reviewed by tho teacher and by the class till It Is so fumlllar t h a t whenever hereaf te r thc Book of the Aots Is read each event will fall naturally Into i t s place.

TIME.—The second missionary Journey was begun probably early In A. D. 51: and Europe was reached tho following year, A. D. 62,

PLACE.—Phlllppl In Macedonia, now Euro-pean Turkey.

PAUL—About l l f t y years old, s ixteen years k f t e r his conversion

CHRIST'S MISSIONAIUES.

The Separation of Paul and Barna-bas.—Chap. 15, vers. 36-40. Paul and Barnabas, with two delegates from the Jerusalem church, returned to Antloch, bearing with them the decree of the council. They remained at Antloch for a time. Then Paul proposed to Barnabas that they revisit the churches which they had founded In Asia Minor during their first missionary tour (A. D. 45-48). He would visit his spiritual children to see how they were growing in grace. He would look at the tender vines In tho vineyard he had planted, to see what further care was required. These churches, so far separated from others, having received but a small portion of the truths of the Gospel, ex-posed to temptations, to errors and to dangers, had no small need of apostolic care and training.

Barnabas agreed with PauL But there arose a practical question. Bar-nabas wished to take with' them his cousin John Mark, who started with them on their former journey, but left them and returned homo, when they began to enter upon the dangerous and difficult par t ' of their tour. Paul re-fused to take him with them: and the difference of opinion was so sharp and decided that the two friends separated, and went different ways, never to meet again on earth.

Bnt while we freely acknowledge the imperfection do not let us make it greater than it really was. It was not a "quarrel, bitter and angry." It was not a case "where neither put in prac-tice the exquisite and humble Christian lesson of putting up with less than his due." They did not "part in anger." Nor is it true "neither would yield to the other; therefore both were wrong." Let us look a t certain facts. (1) Both were remarkably good men, each showing in a different way the noblest virtues, the fullest zeal, the deepest piety, the largest consecration. (3) But these good men were of very dif-ferent natures, just as a flower, a f r u i t a gold coin, a watch, a steam-engine, are all good, but in entirely different ways. (8) Therefore It was perfectly natural and perfectly right that they should Bee things indifferent lights, and desire different things for their work. It is no imperfection In a watch that its wheels will not fit into the cogs of a steam engine; no proof of wrong that the two canr.ot work to-gether. I can conccive of two angels as working host in different spheres. This is the legitimate way in which different denominations arise — one wishes to shout in meeting, another to be quiet; one loves to worship with a liturgy, another with words born of the occasion. All are right; but they must separate. It is only when they separate with wrong feelings that there is sin. (4) They separated as friends. Says Conybeare: "I t is very likely that they made a deliberate and amicable arrangement to divide the region of their first' mission between them." Paul mentions Barnabas with honor in his writings (1 Cor. 9:0; Gal. 2:1, 9), and acknowledges Mark as his fellow-laborer (Philem. 24), as profit-able to the ministry( 2 Tim. 4:11), and a comfort (CoL 4: 10, 11). (5) God overruled this event to the furtherance of the Gospel. There were two streams of missionary influence instead of one, and all the persons concerned did good work for the cause.

The Second Missionary Tour.—Chap. 15, vers. 40, 41; chap. 10, vers. 1-fi. Bar-nabas took Mark with lii'u. aud Lheuce-forth drops out of the narrative, but not out of the work." Paul chose Silas, one of the delegates from the Jeru-salem church, and leaving Antioch went northward through Syria, then to the west through his native Cilicia, thence reversing the order of his first tour. (See 1892, fourth quarter, les-sons 9, 10.) They confirmed the churches and delivered the decree of the Jerusalem council to the Gentiles, so that th« churches were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

Timothy, a convert of Lystra on the first journey, now joins the party. He was "the child of Lois and Eunice, taught the Holy Scriptures from his earliest years, trained to a religious life, and prepared through the provi-dence of God by the sight of the apos-tle's sufferings to be his comfort, sup-port and companion."

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

1. God uses imperfect instruments in the advancement of His kingdom.

2. The Bible gives true pictured of Its believers. If only perfect men had served God in early limes, modern Christians would be in despair.

S. The faults of these men wonld scarcely be noticed in persons of ordi-nary goodness. They seeiu great only by contrast with their great purity, goodness and virtue.

4. Let us not imagine we are great and good, when we find in ourselves only the faul t i of the great and good.

STEEL THEN AND NOW

A FEW YEARS' PROGRESS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF IRON ORE.

How the I'l-loe of llnlliied Steel Has Ileen Lowered Within Twenty-five Years—In-vention That Led .to tbe Modern Proe-esses of Munufaoturo.

Steel in tho rough is now sold at Pitto-burg nt $21.75 per ton of a,2i0 pounds—a fraction less than 1 cent a pound. In 1807 steel rails at the same mart were $100 per ton: in 1872, fll2: in 1882, W8.60, and today

How has a result so surprising been brought about? Why Is it that the United States last yearmaimfnctnml 4,277,000tons of steel ngainst 3,079,000 tons produced by Great Britain, with promise that the inter-val between these two great rivals will widen rather than diminish as tho years roll by?

First and chiefly, from the richness nnd vastness of the iron mines of this country, and the good fortune that many of them, especially In Pennsylvania, Alabama and Tennessee, enjoy in being contiguous to coal beds, and where, as at the mines of the Vermilion range In northern Michi-gan, fuel is remote, water transportation charges to the furnace regions are nominal.

The cheapening of steel is In the main to be credited to the so called Bessemer proc-ess, first devised by William Kelly, who in 1847, at the Eddyvllle Iron works In Ken-tucky, refined molten Iron by a blast of air In an acid lined vessel. Tho English in-ventor developed this principle of burning tbe superfluuus carbou out of iron until only steel remained with so much Inge-nuity nnd boldness that his name is indls-soluhly linked with the process. While that process is employed in manufacturing much the larger part of our American steel, tho open hearth furnaces devised byBlemens and Martin are ateadily gaining In favor. The first of tlinm to be built iu the United States was erected at Trenton in 1868 for Cooper, Hewitt & Co.

Phosphorus h steel makes tho metal brltvle, and as ...uny ores of iron, particu-larly those of the southern states, contain a notable percentage of phosphorus it was an important discovery when in 1879 Mr. Sidney Gilchrist Thomas perfected his so called basic process by which srch owe can be made into excellent steel. In Englaud the bane becomes a blessing, the slag from a basic furnace, containing as it does much phosphoric acid, yielding a valuable ferti-lizer. Mr. Thomas' discovery was first ap-plied In America to an open hearth furnace in 1888 at tho Homestead steel works of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. There are now six open hearth stoel works In this country. In the adaptation of a particular process to a special ore carrying sulphur, phosphorus or what not, a considerable economy is real-ized.

Of still more influence in the cheapening of steel Is the Introduction of machinery in mining both ore and coal, in getting out the limestone to be mixed with the coal and ore and In saving manual labor at every stage of the manufacturing process. At the Carnegie works in Pittsburg is the most elaborate and costly mcchanical plant in the world, one machine alone representing an outlay of $1,000,000. Remarkable also is the steady gain in the efficiency of ore, coal and limestone, as hirpaces have been in-creased In sire and improved in design. The Engineering and Mining Journal re-cently gave some details taken from the ac-counts of a well menaged, typical concern. In 30 years ending with 1802 the coal re-quired to produce a ton of pig iron had been reduced 37 per cent, the ore 20 per cent and the limestoue 50 per cent. The saving in the manufacture of steel of course paral-lels these figures.

After the British and German mining engineers hr.d met their American breth-ren in New York iu October, 1890, they vis-ited the leading iron and steel works in this country. What chiefly i-truck them waa the pate at which opemtious were forced to a finish. The English fumnce has ,1 capacity of SO,000 cubic feet, produces daily 70 tons, uses 2,338 pounds of coke to a toa t.:' piotluct; wish 150 hours as the time cf a furntu.-e opt rati otu The American f;:r-ni'.ce with smaller capacity, u\500 cubic feet, uiru;- out 271 Urns a day. Uses hut 1,868 poua<i- oi c>.;c pt r ton of product and crowds a.i i.ttraticn into 21 libv.rs.

Beyond the cau.w, metallurgical and mechanical, which have cheaptued steel are the irresistible forces of busiuess. Com-petition has become exceedingly keen, and manufacturers these days have to be con-tent with slim profits, and often with "no profite at alL

Because it Is stronger and tougher than iron, steel long ago ousted iron from use as the material for rails. A steel rail lasts about 10 times as long as an Iron one. Tnis of course has cheapened rail trans-portation, and so helped to cheapen steel itself by lowering the freight tolls charged for hauling the ores and fuel needed to make i t

As a material for machinery, steel not only wears better than Iron, but can he run at higher speed. What this means in money saved in all the departments of the metal's application would require figures of astro-nomical audacity to express. And the end is not yet Nickel alloyed with steel exalts Its tensile strength remarkably, as recent teste of armor plate made of nickel steel ohnndantly prove. Let experiment in the preparation of this alloy 00me to sucoesa, as it undoubtedly will, and we shall see nickel steel enabling the architect and tbe engi-neer to take almost as long a stride ahead as when they discarded iron for ordinary •teeL Tbe time is at hand when bridge spans can be longer, towers higher, boilers, cars and engines lighter, and when machin-ery driven quicker than ever will last longer than it does today.—Now York Sun.

A Bird's » * t In a Gun Carriage.

Imagine any one looking for a nest in tbe ammunition box of a gun carriage. Yet a bird once built one there, nor was it fright-ened away by the dally firing of that weapon. Two sparrows which built in the slot of t railway signal post were quite un-concerned at the moving np and down of the arms, which in consequence raised and lowered the nest as though it were on the waving branch of a tree.—Chambers' Jour-nal.
