St. Louis, Nov. 3.—The Baldwin airship, which escaped last night while being towed into the concourse has been found sixteen miles west of St. Lous in a cornfield near the hamlet of Fern Ridge. It was ui- injured and was etill fl rating when discovered, although it had anchored iteelt. The tra'ling rope had caught the Ilmb of a tree. The aiship was discovered by farmers this morning. The newe spread slowly, but finally reaching Fern Ridge when J. A. Braun, a merchant, telephoned to Captian Baldwin of the discovery.

Nov. 5.—The fright. folly mutilated body of Miss Alma Steingwig wae found this morning in a vacant lot rear Lovers’ Lane, the scene of the mysterous murder of Mies Louisa Muelner, recently. The wounds were in the head and seem to have been inflicted with’ a club or other blunt instrument. The ekull is crushed over theeright eye. The wounds are smilar to those causing the death of Miss Mueller. The Chief of Detectives Craw- ford inclines tonight to the belief that both girls were struck down the same hand with the same instru- ment. Mise Steingweg was 18 years old, and was a telephone operator. His Gift To Park College Chicago, Nov. 6.—D. K. Pearsons, - who has contributed extensively to ‘ ; the endowment of smaller institu- tions of learning added $25,000 to his benefactio:s to-day, giving that amount to Park college of Parkville Mo, near Kansas City. The gift was conditional on the raising of $75,000 by the college. Lowell Me- Afee, president of the college, repor- ted that the required eum had been subscribed and Mr. Pearsons gave him a check. “Although Dr. Pearsons has never geen the college” said Mr. McAfee, “be and my father were friends twenty-five years ago. This raises our endowment to $200,000.” Park college, organized in 1865, has 404 students, a faculty of twenty-four and gn alumni of 520. Indians Go to Vassar.

In the latter case, Tommy is not a criminal, but ranks about equal to a misdemeanant, and, even though his offense may be a grave one against military law, he is not socially or actu- ally sfch a sufferer as he would be if he had committed a criminal offense. Tommy's life in his own particular prison, to which, by the way, he can- not be committed for longer than two years, is not on the whole very se- vere. What he feels most keenly, per- haps, is the loneliness; for after “chummy” life in the army, to be shut in a small cell alone, to eat his meals alone, and take his recreations alone, and to be denied the joys of the can- teen after his day's work is done, “gets on his nerves,” as he says. He rises at six, turns out his cell, and has his breakfast; afterwards the labor of the day, including drill, be- gins. He works on steadily, with in- tervals for dinner and tea, until eight, after which he is allowed an hour to himself in his cell, for reading, writ- ing or other similar pursuit. At nine he retires for the night. His cell is comparatively comfortable, his food is good and sufficient, his health is well looked after, and he can, by good con- duct, earn small sums of money and extra time for reading. Of coyrse, a really “bad soldier” finds military life almost unbearable at first and gives a lot of trouble; but the very worst generally shake down Into orderliness In a week or two; in- deed, many a “bad soldier” has so greatly benefited by a spell of “clink” that on returning to his regiment his sergeant has scarcely been able to rec- ognize him. But, of course, a “sen- tence” against a man greatly interferes with his advancement in rank, though it is not viewed so serfously even in the army as society views the commit- tal of one of its members to prison. LAND OF FLOWING SILK. Natural Skeins Fresh from the Co- coons Are Met With in Rus- sian Koland, Silk is not always a sign of luxury or wealth in Turkestan, The author of “In Russian Turkestan” tells of a stal- wart countryman who ferried his par- ty across the S,r-Daria, miles away from any town or village. His outer garment was in rags and half-covered with mud, but as he worxed at the ferry rope they coula see that he wore beneath this a tunic, or shirt, of the finest silk. “When we were ta'ing our first stroll in Russia Kolana,” wr tes Mrs. Meakin, “we noticed a band of gold shining through the trees on the other side of the street, and wondering what it could be, we crossed over to ex- amine the glittering object. It proved to be a skein of silk fresh from the cocoons, of such a length that it had been wound round the trunks of two poplars more than 20 yards apart. A Sart was carefully combing it. He seemed sirprised that we should stop to look at what, to him, was so com- mon a sight. A little later, in an- oiher street, we came across a Still longer ‘skein; this one had béen dyed, and shone a brilliant purple in the afternoon sun. P “The machinery for boiling the cocoons and winding the silk is ait | on a much more primitive scale thaa that of Japan, but the quality of the ports, says that it is impossibie to doubt that the general well-being of the work- ing classes is in a large measure due to state insurance. eral compulsory insurance of workmen against illness. industry—mines, manufactures, build- ing trades and hand trades—have their own insurance funds, and there are also the old registered societies.

The men were mostly all upon the mine car- riage to be lowered to the workings below. The three men injured were bruised and cut about the body by flying wreckage, while standing at the mouth of the shaft ready to descend. The signal was given to the engi- neer, who began lowering the men. The carriage had gone but a few feet when the engineer lost control of his engine, owing to. the reverse levers falling to work, and the carriage, with its load cf human beings, ten in Although there have been attempts to maintain secrecy in dispatches by use of differently “tuned” instruments, the Japanese instruments have been affected by the Russian dispatches. ‘On the night of February 8, after Rear | Admiral Togo had divided his fleet and sent Rear Admiral Uriu with a small squadron and two divisions of torpedo boats to Chemulpo, and had gone with the rest to head off the main Russian fleet at Port Arthur, Admiral Togo’s chief anxiety was lest the Russians should leave Port Arthur before his torpedo-boat divisions reached it, and should have joined the Koreetz and Variag at Chemulpo, in which case the squadron of Rear Admiral Uriu would probably be annihilated.

It is evident, from the work already accomplished, that had the wireless telegraph been working at the time of our Spanish war there never would have been a disagreement as to the command of the fleet at Santiago, Ad- miral Togo has been able to keep in touch with scattered vessels which are often far out of sight of his ship, and has maneuvered his unseen fleet with the utmost ease and precision. The reports from the little torpedo boats and from the cruisers and battle- ships have come to him across the air in the most severe weather without de- lay or confusion, and through shore stations he has reported to the em- peror of Japan the movements of his fleet, and received advice as to those of the enemy. ¥6 THE BILL LOOKED RIGHT. And While It Looked That Way the Owner Quickly Got Rid of It. tate. 300 feet further into a sump. Those who may not have been kill- ed outright were, without doubt, drowned in the sump, which {s fully fifty feet deep with water. Up to 8 o'clock no aid could reach them and every man on. the ill fated carriage had been given up by the officials for lost. The victims, who were miners and la borers, resided in Nanticoke, and most of them leave families. They were Poles or Slava, with the excep- tion of one, John Kemper. Intense excitement continues to prevail about the mouth of the sbaft to night. Women and children are running about, crying and mouning for those at the bottom. There are fully sev- enty-five miners and laborers in the mine ,dragging the sump for the seem that even slight and brief illnqsses are compensated for. Accident insurance dates back! to surance, and both owe their inception to the initiative of Emperior William I. Under the new laws the burden of prov- ing liability rests now on the injured only in cases of intentional injury or for amounts exceeding the regular in- surance payment. There are special provisions for prisoners and govern- ment officials. “Industry” includes all workmen and officials with a salary not exceeding £150 ($720) a year who are employed in specified industrial pur- sults. There is no claim for compensation when an accident Is intentionally caused by the injured person. Otherwise com- pensation is payable so long as the in- jured is unfit to work; in case of com- plete incapacity the allowance {s' two- thirds of the previous earnings; in case of partial incapacity it is In proportion to the impairment. In case of death the compensation is burial money of not less than $12. otherwise one-fifteenth of the annual earnings and an allowance to the family, which varies according to circumstances, from 20 to 60 per cent. of the annual earnings. In 1901 of nearly 7,000,000 persons in- sured 55,000 were injured and 4,979 killed. The compensation paid amount- ed to $16,337,000. The most recent form of industrial state insurance is that intenced to re- lieve infirmity and old age. It applies compulsorily to all persons in receipt of less than $487 a year of wages and voluntarily to those who receive wages from $487 to $730. Old-age insurance is payable at 70, whether the recipient is infirm or not. In addition to these main provisions payments are mace under certain conditions on the occasions of marriage, disabling accident and death. The allowances are reckoned in five three days beforeany of the dead can be recovered. There are curious phases in human nature. Sometimes it occurs that ap- parently the most honest man in the community will not hesitate to smuggle a few luxuries across the boundary line between Canada and the United States, or even by steamer from Europe. His loyalty to Uncle Sam is sometimes a trifle shaken, Bank people inform me that occasionally a man who has always had a thoroughly upright reputation will hesitate about having a counterfeit bill which has been passed upon him stamped as counterfeit, so the loss shall fall upon him. In a few men the ten- dency is developed to let some other man make the loss on the counterfeit bill, which, of course, is just as dishon- est as to steal five dollars from any source, A queer instance was related to the Boston Budget Saunterer during his stay in a country town, where a classes, ranging from $27 to $56 in the] miserly old chap was customer to the case of old age and to $36 in the case of | only bank in the town.

Berlin, Nov. 6 —King Frederick August of Saxony seeme to have made resolution of showing his peo- ple that he does not care what they think of him, and that he will follow hisown will in all things, Not only has he positively refused to consent to take back his divorced wife, Coun- tess montigneso, better known as Crown Princess Louise, but he has also intimated that he wants his an- nual salary as king considerably ine creased, although it was inereased, not long ago during the reign of King George. As the financial con- ditions of the country are exceeding- iy bad, and the taxes aleady so high that the people could not, pos- sibly bear any more burdens, the de- mand of the king just at present is coneidered in very bad taste, and undoubtediy be refused by the Diet.
