4 GREAT FIRE TEAM. City, Ia., Boasts of the Best Horses in the World. ‘Mave Carried Off All Honors at An- nual State Bournaments for Past Two Years, Easily Outclass- ing Other Contestants, Sioux City, lowa, boasts of having the fastest team of fire horses in the world, fin Corbett and Sullivan, who for the jpast two years have carried off all of the honors at the annual state firemen’s tournaments in lowa. At Davenport ast year during the tournament the made a half mile run from a stand- start in 0:07 4-5, which was much better than any other team in the race. | Departments from most of the cities of the state were represented, Corbett and Sullivan came home with the most of the prize money from that tournament and with the reputation of having made the fastest time of any fire horses in the world. At the Sioux City tourna- iment last week this remarkable team did some more fast running and because hey were so clearly out of the class of ithe other teams in the state they were barred from participation in any of the purses. Their running was all for ex- hibition and they were cheered vocifer- ously as they swept down the home stretch and under the wire in front of the grand stand. The team here was hitched in a skeleton fire station built ion the track and ran a half mile in 1:20 2-5, which was six seconds faster time than the best time made by any eam in the race, Other teams repre- ented were two from Sioux City and one from the department of Des Moines, (Davenport and Council Bluffs. There is some talk of touring Corbett and Sul- livan and entering them in the tourna- ments of other states and in the horse hows, BIGGEST SALARY IN WORLD. ree C. Boldt Receives §500,000 a Year for Managing Waldort- Astoria Hotel in New York. Just about the time Wall street dis¢ov- ered that the salary of Charles H. Schwab as president of the billion dollar steel trust was not $1,000,000 a year, as had been currently reported, but a beg- garly $100,000, the statement was made that a man in New York receives a sal- ary of $500,000 for running a corporation capitalized at $1,000. He is George C. Boldt and he is commonly spoken of as the proprietor of the Waldorf-Astor ho- el. It should not be supposed that Mr. Boldt receives a stated salary for con- ducting the big hotel. There are profit- sharing arrangements based upon the $500,000 a year for Mr. Boldt if he suc- eds in adding a certain amount to the income of the Astors. It is maintained ‘by those aware of Mr. Boldt's income and lwho are fond of superlatives that he is ithe highest salaried man in the world. Certain it is that he gets about five times as much for running a hotel as Senator Depew gets for running the Van- derbilt railroads, He receives more than six times as much as the new president of the United States Steel corporation, and yet Mr. Boldt was once a waiter. REGAINS POWER TO WALK. alyzed by Lightning Fifteen Years Ago, an Old Lady Finds That Her Strength Has Returned Again. , Mrs. Margaret Bean, aged 84, residing it Webster, Mass., has regained the use lof her limbs as suddenly as their pow- ler was taken away from her about 15 ears ago. At that time she was struck a lightning, and ever since has been “helpless invalid. Upon awaking the other morning she felt a great deal more refreshed than on previous mornings. It seemed to her that she was much strong- er. Her hitherto feeble, shaking hands had suddenly become strong and firm. Then she got out of bed and stood erect for the first time in 15 years. Her joy- ous cries brought her daughter in haste to the room. In the afternoon Mrs. Bean went out for a carriage ride with her daughter, the first ride she had enjoyed. in years. What interested her most was the whiz- zing electric cars, which she had never seen before. CHEWING GUM FOR INSANE. Minnesota Contracts for Large Quan- tities for Use in Restraining Violent Patients, The contracts awarded by the Minne- ota state board of control for supplies for the ensuing quarter include a con- derable quantity of chewing gum to the patients of the insane asy- __ Bums and the state hospitals. ~The observation of the board {s that rhewing gum often has an excellent ef- ct on the patients, and that it enables inmates to concentrate their minds various forms of work and soothes m during violent spells. On being given gum some of the vio- nt patients have been known to collect 4 wits and diligently pursue a task. There is reason to fear, says the licago Tribune, that many persons i be disappointed when the north le finally is discovered and the pho- Mgraphs of the locality fail to show pole. _ Ought to Keep It Quiet, is a man at Laurel, L. 1, who that in the 60 years of his life | eaten 87,000 pancakes, says the p Record-Herald.

Only the remarkable physical endur- ance of William’ Langelle, in existing practically without food or drink for nearly five days prevented a tragedy in the hoid of the liner Cedric, which re- cently arrived at New York after a rough voyage of ten days from Liver- pool. pool on the night of July 30 without being discovered and secreted himself until there was no fear of being put ashore. By means of a jackknife Langelle pried open a hatch in the mid- ship hold and it was not until the Cedric | Was seven days out that the watch re- ported to Commander Haddock having heard a muffled tapping on one of the hatches. The commander immediately ordered an investigation, with the result that the unconscious and almost famished man was discovered, After working over Langelle for nearly 24 hours the ship’s surgeon succeeded in reviving im. Langelle said that after secreting himself under the hatch it was shut down by the sailors and fastened. Then he realized he was a prisoner with only a few biscuits and a flask of rum be- tween himself and starvation. By hus- banding his meager stock of food he managed to subsist for 24 hours, and then cut his" way into an tron-bound crate and secured some raw onions. He was only able to cut a hole large enough to abstract four onions, and this consti- tuted his sole fare until he was discov- ered. PRESERVATION OF EGGS. - Consul General Guenther Tells of a German Process for Keeping Them Fresh Any Length of Time, In a report to the department of com- merce and labor Consul General Rich- ard Guenther, at Frankfort, Germany, tells of a German process for the pres- ervation of eggs. Hesays: “German papers state that it is pos- sible to keep eggs fresh for any length of time by simply immersing them ina ten per cent, solution of silicate of soda, commonly called ‘liquid glass.’ This produces the formation of a coating which renders the egg perfectly airtight. The eggs so treated retain their fresh taste for many months. The best proof of the efficacy of this treatment has been furnished by the fact that such eges, after having been kept for a whole year, were hatched, and the chickens were strong and healthy. “The preserving solution is best pre- pared by dissolving one pound of liquid glass in four. quarts of cold water, The eggs are then immersed in this solu- tion, which should be kept in a glazed earthenware vessel, and the eggs are kept In the solution for a short time. If one of these preserved eggs is to be boiled, the shell must first be perforated in order to prevent cracking.” WILD RIDE FOR LIFE. Lewiston, Pa,, Butcher Severs an Are tery, But Reaches a Surgeon Just in Time, A wild ride against death occurred at Lewiston, Pa., the other evening. While H. C. Kipp, a butcher, was dressing a beef in his slaughter-house on the out- skirts of the city his knife slipped, strik- ing his left wrist and severing the ra- dial artery and all the veins. Fortunately, there was a team stand- ing on the outside. Leaping into the wagon, Kipp grasped the reins in one hand, and, holding the wound tightly between his knees to act as a compress, drove at top speed for town. No at- tempt to guide the team was made, ex- cept to urge them on at breakneck speed, other conveyances along the streets giving hima clear track. Arriv- ing at the office of Dr. Sweigart, he leaped from the wagon, and, weak from the loss of blood, he stumbled and fell, but gathered himself up and staggered into the office. Here again he was for- tunate in finding the doctor, who im- mediately applied a compress and tied the artery. POPE LEO’S HUNTING GUN. Paris Tradesman Claims to Own a Firearm with an Interest- ing History, A Parisian armorer, whose shops are not far from the Grand boulevards, ex- hibits an old single-barreled gun in his window, with a notice on it saying: “Gun which once belonged to Monsig- nore Longhi and was used by Abbe Joachim Pecchi, afterward Pope Leo XIII, The armorer can prove the au- thenticity of the article to whomever is interested. When Joachim Pecchi was a_young seminarian of 20 he borrowed the gun of Monsignore Longhi, and went hunting. He became enthusiastic, and wrote his brother the following letter in reference to the gun: “‘T have fallen in love with Monsig- nore Longhi’s gun. He offers to sell it to me for eight or nine crowns. What shall I do? Speak of it to papa? It would worry him. Find the means for me to profit by this bargain.’ ” But the gun never passed from the hands of Monsignore Longhi to Leo XIIL. Literally Rules the Roost, A man at Mount Vernon, N. Y., gives fresh impetus to the henpeck joke. His wife compels him to sleep in the chicken coop. While we are on the subject, remarks the funny man of the Chicago Tribune, we may as well say that this is his only chance to rule the roost. Not the Real Thing. There must be concealed somewhere Langelle stowed away at Liver-_ ATTACKED BY T Pacnacteus Saurian Captures Boat of wo Women While They Are Out Fishing. Mrs. Charles e and Miss Jrnette Cummens, two Elkhart women, re- cently had an exciting experience while -fishing at Marble lake, near Quincy, Lil. Having been favored with good luck the catch was placed in a strong net and lowered from the side of the beat “into the water. In a few minutes their attention was attracted to something tugging away at the net, and on in- vestigation they discovered a huge turtle trying to get their fish. | The “moss back” was driven off with jan oar, but soon again made another ‘atta*k. In order to save their fish the |ladies hauled in the net, but Mr. Turtle pease not let go, and by considerable lifting and tugging the net, fish and ‘turtle were landed in the bottom of the ‘boat, whereupon the monster of the deep became master of the situation, and with a vengeance made an attack upon the boat's crew. Being in close quarters the fair occu- pants were soon standing upon the seats while their craft drifted in mid- lake. By the use of their oars and a heavy anchor the enemy was finally subdued, when the ladies excitedly pulled for the shore. As they were nearing the landing the turtle revived and calmly climbed up the side of the boat, tumbled overboard and disap- peared beneath the waves. The ladies claim that the big saurian weighed at least 25 pounds, and that he gave them all the excitement nec- essary for one season's outing. SAYS SUN DANCE IS RELIGIOUS. Dr. Dorsey Avers Constitution Guar- antees Indians Their Right to Celebrate It, Dr. George A. Dorsey, curator of an- thropology of the Field Columbian Mu- seum of Chicago, who recently arrived at Los Angeles, Cal., has given out an interview concerning the published ac- counts of his visit with Dr. Mooney to the Cheyenne Indians in Oklahoma, Dr. Dorsey contends that the sun dance is religion to the Indians and that they have a right to celebrate it, under the clause of the constitution granting American citizens freedom of worship. With regard to statements made to the Indian bureau at Washington by Mr, Seger, superintendent of the reser- vation school, Dr. Dorsey makes charges of duplicity and ignorance, and says that Seger's allegations were not disinterested, “Concerning the torture itself, which Mr. Seger describes,”, said Dr. Dorsey, “not only did Mr. Mooney and myself not instigate it, but we actually knew nothing about it until the Indian was well oa his way making the rounds of the camp circle. This torture occurred, by the way, on the morning of tliat fol- lowing the final rites of the ceremony, and had nothing to do with the per- tormance of the so-called sun dance.” BOYS FIND MINERAL DEPOSIT. While Playing at Mining Near Em- pire, Col, They Strike a Rich Vein of Silver, Because they would rather play at being miners than go with their young triends and bat a ball around a field Frank and Fred Coffman, of this place, are in a fair way to become wealthy. The boys, one 13 and the other 15, are the sons of a miner. They spent their time digging in the hills near Empire, Col., not because they had hope of mining ore, but because they wanted to do as their father was doing. A small tunnel was dug, and in play- ing in it, they came on a_ substance which they failed to recognize. Tak- ing some of it home they showed it to their father, who located the land in which the tunnel had been dug. The boys had struck a closely mineralized lode of silver bearing character that yields pay stuff 15 feet below the sur- face. — During the day the father uncov- ered 12 inches of ore, practically solid, which runs higher than $36 a ton in silver and lead, with a fair per cent. in gold. The claim has been named the Two Brothers and capital is being raised to work it. QUEER LAW OF MARRIAGE, Peculinr Australian Statate Prohibits a Man from Wedding Daugh- ter of ter-In-Law,. Justice A’Beckett, sitting at Mel- bourne, Australia, has just decided in the case of Smith vs. Smith that though a man may marry his sister-in-law, he cannot marry her daughter. In this case the plaintiff asked for a declaration of nullity of his marriage on the ground that it was within the prohibited de- grees of relationship. Mr. Smith married the daughter of his deceased wife’s sister and they lived together for twelve days, when the wife left her husband, assigning conscien- Prof. Zueblin, Asserts Americans Haye in a Reeent Lecture, Barbaric Ideas. “The American people are not cleanly enough. | mean the native-born Amer- icans, whose ancestors date ba revolution.

The task of cleaning the city to keeping it clean ought to be turned over to the house- wives, instead of being mismanaged by “business men.’ “Take Cincinnati and Pittsburg, for example,” said the lecturer. “They are extremely ugly, although each has a fine location, Pittsburg has the most re- markable collection of hideous bridges ever devised. The finest city bridge in this country is at Zanesville, 0. Itisa Y shaped structure of concrete.” WOMAN TO CORRECT ABUSES. Ie Sent Ont by Civil Service Commis. sion to Instruct Postmasters Re- garding Regulations, The civil service commission at Wash- ington has undertaken a novel means of correcting abuses in the matter of trans- ferring clerks and other employes in the postal service, A special inspector has been sent out, with instructions from the commission to visit postmasters in a number of central states, coach them in the civil service regulations, and warn them against the practices which were disclosed by the recent post office de- partment investigation. Not the least remarkable feature of the new methods of correcting abuse of the civil service rules is the fact that the inspector in this casé is a young woman, Miss Caroline I. Griesheim, who has been connected with the civil service com- mission's office for many years. Her tour embraces the states of Ohio, In- diana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minne- sota, She will confer with postmasters and focal civil service boards and ex- plain to them the recent modifications of the rules whereby it is intended to pre- vent the transfer of clerks from interior offices to the departments in Washing- ton, and to avoid the employment of em- ployes and clerks in positions outside of the grades to which they are legally appointed, POORHOUSE INMATES ELOPE. Poverty and Locksmiths | by New Jersey Their Exit Down ughed At yuple Who Make Waterspout, Steward Leida, of the courthouse, and a force of men and dogs are tracing two runaways, a man and a girl, who eloped from the county poor farm at Hacketts- town, N. J., recently. They did not take any valuables belonging to the county, but, being themselves valuable on the farm, the steward feels that he must recover them, The elopers were Margaret Morris and Charles Arthur, both of whom have been inmates of the poorhouse for a long time. They met in the harvest field, fell in love, and arranged their flight. The steward locked all the in- mates in their rooms as usual the night of the elopement, but Chester climbed out of his window and slid down the water spout. He then succeeded in ef- fecting Margaret's release, and they started for Pennsylvania. As soon as the steward found they had gone he and the farm police started in quest of the runaways, but all efforts to find them have thus far been of no avail. INJURY FORECASTED. Vision of Indiana Woman Which Is Soon Afier Verified by a Telegram, Injury to her husband was forecasted in a dream which came to Mrs. Charles Michaels, of Marion, Ind. and now the woman and ber family are thorough be- lievers in dreanis. Mrs. Michaels dreamed that she saw her husband's face. It was ghastly white and peered at her piteously out of the chaos of a railroad accident. The im- pression made by the dream was so vivid that the wife woke with a start. The vision worried Mrs. Michacls so much that she could not dismiss it from her mind, and she mentioned it to a friend, Although the friend lauched at her fears, Mrs. Michaels contitued to fret and grew greatly worried. . About two hours after the strange vis- fon she received a message stating that her husband had been hurt in train injury was sustained exactly as poriray- tious objections to a union prohibited | ed in the dream. by the church.
