KILEY. = GRAND RAPIDS. - MINNESOTA Telegraph poles in Switzerland are preserved from rapid decay by being charged with a creosote compound, pressed by gravity into one end of tha wood. The trade returns of Canada for the first nine months of the fiscal yean show an increase in exports and im- ports of $11,526,817 over the corre, sponding period of the last fiscal year, = Some sections of the Northwest are complaining of too much rain, but there is comfort in the thought that a wet spring rarely, if ever, makes poor crops. They are saying now that a mishap in love is at the bottom of Cecil Rhodes’ recklessness. This is very pretty, but it will hardly constitute { a defense of the Jameson raid. The thrifty French derive a profit of $2,000,00 Oa year from an investment | of $8,000,000 in mushroom culture. There are some nice points in agricult- ure not yet mastered on this side. Shakespeare, apparently, had the fu color of a country gentleman. Among statesmen, Oliver Cromwell had a rough, dry, yellow skin, disfigured by warts; the only color in Pitt’s face lay in his nose. “Going the whole hog” was originally a piece of butcher’s slang. In the colo- nial days of America purchasers would frequently buy a whole hog, to be cut up at home, hence the butcher would ask if the purchaser meant to go the whole hog or only wanted a part. Travelers in the north of Norway this year will witness a total eclipse of the midnight sun, which will occur on the night of Aug. 8-9. Of course the scientists will be on hand to watch such a rare combination of spectacular attractions. Next to Boswell as an English biog- I rapher stands Lockhart, who wrote the { life of his father-in-law, Sir Walter f Scott. Lockhart’s own biography is now in preparation by Andrew Lang, . and it will, no doubt, be an interesting and valuable work. It is claimed that the perfume of fiowers disappears as soon as the starch in the petals is exhausted; and it may, it is said, be restored, by plac- ing the flower in a solution of sugar, when the formation of starch and the emission of fragrance will be at once resumed. The Cuban junta in New York has received letters from members in Cuba stating that some of the “best fam- ilies” on the island have joined the in- surgents. This ought to settle it. These people evidently intend to see to it that their descendants shall some day be Sons and Daughters of the Cu- ban Revolution. The big, fat, Chinese oyster seems in o fair way to be opened. England, France and France have all estab- lished “commercial missions” there, with a view to getting their share of the wealth that is bound sooner or later to become a part of the great uni- ersal interflow of trade. Padere i's gift of $10,000 to estab- Y lish prizes for American composers | has already brough down on the trus- tees of the fund a flood or worthless compositions, whose character indi- | cates too plainly how many people there are in the United States whe have no conception of what good mu sic is. The emperor of Germany was ex- pected to make a notable speech at the opening of the Berlin exhibition, but be simply said “Yes” in response to the address of welcome, and the wheels of the big show began to move. It will be admitted that the emperor rose to the occasion by his 2loquent brevity and judicious senti | ment. Spaniards think that the capture of the filibusters on the Competitor af- fords an opportunity to wreak ven- geance that will in some measure in- dicate the resentfulness with which Spain regards American sympathy with the Cubans. It will not do. The. | Spaniards seem to have murder in their hearts, but they will have to deal with their prisoners under the restric ‘ions of international law. The little town of Nasso, in Sweden, has a feminine department 150 strong, in its fire brigade. The waterworks of the village consist simply of four great tubs, and it is the duty of the women 1 3 “firemen” to keep these full in case of fire. They stand in two continuous lines from the tubs to the lake, about three streets away, one line passing the full buckets and the other sending them back. PITH OF THE NEW!

Mr. Balfour, who plays golf for amusement and not in the spirit ef a professional, does not pretend to be a great performer, though he has written a chapter in the Badminton book on golf. For a long time it was almost his only amusement, but he bas now taken to cycling. Mrs. Carlisle, wife of the secretary of the treasury, is a great believer in omens, and from an unusual occurrence in her home a few days ago, is led to hope that this is going to be a good year for the Carlisle family. She was standing at a window of her house, when in flew a carrier pigeon with a gold band on one of its feet. ‘The empress of Japan has discarded the picturesque costume of her coun- try. Her majesty’s wardrobe is made in Paris, and she has a decided prefer- ence for tight-fitting, gowns. The royal example is followed by the ladies of the court, and state er polychromatic appearance. It is a curious coincidence thtt the discarded Japanese costume combines all the lat- est ideas on dress reform embodied by its apostles here and in Europe. Casualties. Fire destroyed the Lehigh Valley company’s hay sheds in Jersey City and forty or fifty cars loaded with hay which were standing in the sheds. The loss is estimated at $50,000. » During a severe hail and wind storm at Cadio, Ky., John J. Wallace, a prominent farmer, and his three sons, sought shelter under a large tree. The men had no sooner reached the tree than a bolt of lightning struck it and killed all four of them instantly. Walter Pierce was married at Hu- ron, Ind., and a crowd of young people assembled to charivari the couple.

Empress Elizabeth of Austria’s Villa Achilleion, at Corfu, on which she has spent $2,500,000, is to be sold. It was built only six years ago, but the em- press is tired of it already. St. Andrew’s famous golf link¢ have become the property of. the burgh by the payment of $7,500 to the owner of the ground, which puts an end to a long dispute between him and the town. Ricordi & Co., the music publishers, have recently published their millionth musical composition. The first work they printed was a guitar piece by Pava, called “Le quattro stagioni,” and dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, when he was first consul, in 1802. On its official trip, the Desperate, tor- pedo boat destroyer, made only thir- teen knots for three hours running. as there was a high wind and sea. The Fame, the second .boat of this class built by the Thornycrofts, has just ers on board ,and is practically com- plete and ready for steam trials. A Vienna linen dealer named Kich- ard Wagner registered the composer's portrait as a trade-mark two years ago, and filled Germany with Richard Wagner sheetings and towelings.

Four People Are Humboldt, May 20.—The trainmen arriving here to-day bring reports of frightful results of the cyclone on the reservation adjoining this county. ‘They assert that forty persons were killed by the cyclone on the reserva- tion. No particulars are obtainable as all communication by wire is down. Those killed are supposed to be indians as there are few whites on the reserva- tion.

Pittsburg, May 20.—A meetnig of the Afro-American League was held here to-day with the object of indorsing Quay. The Union League Republican association, colored, who favor Mc- Kinley, attempted to break up the meeting and prevent the carrying out of its objects. When the obnoxious men had forced their way into the hall trouble began. Sergeant-at-arms Mills got into an argument with J. H. Holmes, the attorney, a McKinley- ite, and there was a free fight in a second. Men rushed into the midst of the melee, as the two fighters rolled over the floor. Coats were torn, limbs were bruised and oaths could be heard escaping from the pit of riot like sul- phur fumes from a laboratory. News- paper men fled for refuge to the yard where, perched on a, platform, they saw the “center rush” through the rar- row window. The policemen rushed in and with drawn billies quelled the fierce encounter. Such a struggling mass of men is rough-and-tumble fight has never been seen in any convention. Blood flowed from cracked heads and clothes lost all neatness. After some further rioting the meeting adjourned until to-morrow morning. A TELLER BOOM. Effor to Make Him a Candidate of the Democrats, Denver, May 20.—The Rocky Moun- tain News, in a leading editorial, says: “The question of Teller as the Demo- eratic candidate for president should at once interest the Democrats of the mountain states. Might it not be worth the efforts for Colorado Demo- crats to organize with the Democracy of its neighboring states to present Teller, should he bear himself at St. Louis as there is right to expect he will, to the Southern silver Democrats of the convention, and say to them, it you will accept him he will have the support of all the mountain region and we will unite with you in making him the leader of the movement for restora- tion to a bankrupted and well-nigh hopeless people of the money of the constitution, the life-blood of commerce and the wand by the touch of which prosperity will rise and take the coun- try once again in its healthful, in- vigorating embrace.” Prospective Deadlock. Cleveland, May 20.—The impression is becoming prevalent that a deadlock will occur in the Methodist Episcopal conference over the election of two new bishops. Five ballots were taken to-day without a choice and the elec- tion is apparently as far away as ever. It is evident that there is a strong ele- ment in the conference opposed to the election of more bishops, and this ele- ment is believed to have been voting in a seattering way for the purpose of precipitating a deadlock. A motion was made without a seccnd to postpone further balloting indefinitely, and it is said the motion will be renewed to- morrow. One Hundred and Four Plurality. Chicago, May 20.—The Tribune this morning prints a list of delegates to the Republican national convention, giving the name of every delegate elected, with instructions and pro- clivities.

Many wreaths were sent to Grey’s seeped prisoners. The proposed strike of Buffalo car- penters to-day for the eight-hour work day has been met by a lock-out. CHURCH AND PARTY. — The Subject of Reiigion and Poli- tes Discussed. Washington, May zv. — In reply to some questions addressed through Key. Dr. Stafford of Washington, D. C., to Cardinal Gibbons, the cardinal sent the following letter: “My Dear Sir: It is the duty of the leaders of political parties to express themselves without any equivocation on principles of religious freedom which underlie our constitution. Cath- olics are devoted to both the great po- litical parties of the country, and every individual is left entirely to his own conscience. We are proud to say that in the long history of the govern- ment of the United States the great Catholic church has never used, or perverted its acknowledged power, by seeking to make politics subserve its own advancement. Moreover, it is our proud boast that we have never inter- fered with the civil and political rights of any who differ from us in religion. We demand the same rights for our- selves and nothing more; and will be content with nothing less. Not only is it the duty of all parties distinctly to set their faces against the false and un-American principles thrust forward of late; but much as 1 would regret the entire indentification of any religious body as such with any political party, I am convinced that the members of a religious body whose rights, civil ana religious, are attacked, will naturally and unanimously espouse the cause of the party which has the courage open- ly to avow the principles of civil and religious liberty according to the con- stitution. Patience is a virtue, but it is not the only virtue; when pushed too far it may degenerate into pusi- lanimity. Yours faithfully, —‘James Card. Gibbons” HE KEPT HIS WORD. Double Murder and Suicide in Washington State. Tacoma, Wash., May 20.—In Beaver Prairie, Calallam county, in the dense forest, seventy miles from a telegraph office, Charlie Paul of Wisconsin, Tues- day last killed David McConchie and wife and then took his own life. The tragedy happened at the home of the McConchies. Paul was a discarded lover ot Mrs. McConchie. As soon as’ Paul learned of the marriage he wrote letters to her swearing he would kill her and her husbaad. Charles Terwilliger was examining his bear traps on the shore of the lake on Tuesday and saw a note pinned to the door of a deserted cabin, which gave directions to look in a certain place in the house for a letter. This letter was addressed to Christian Gressklaus by Faul, and said Paul had gone to kill Mr. and Mrs. McConchie, after which he would take his own life, A party was formed, and, reaching the shore of the lake opposite McConchie’s house, they found McConchie’s boat and in it was the dead body of Paul. The body of Mrs. McConchie was found on the floor of her home, her head nearly severed from her body, and everything showed that a terrible struggle had taken place between the Woman and the man. FIRE IN WASHINGTON. Two Firemen Are Killed and Four Others Injured. Washington, May 20. — A conflagra- tion which resulted in the loss of al- most a quarter of a million dollars and in which two firemen were killed and four seriously injured by falling walls, occurred in this city about 8 o'clock last night. Twenty-one buildings with their contents were totally destroyed in the space of about two hours. The burnt district consists almost entirely of commission and wholesale jobbing houses in the square bounded by Louis- jana avenue, Ninth and Tenth streets. The fire started in a branch station of the Postal Telegraph company located on B street, and is supposed to have been caused by lightning, a severe thunder storm having just passed over the city. The buildings were filled with a mass of inflammable material which made it difficult for the firemen to cope with the progress‘of the flames which spread with great rapidity. After two hours’ hard work the flames were un- der control. The list of dead and in- jured, all of whom are firemen, fol- lows: Dead— — Giles. — Griffin. Injured, Joe Mulhall, J. Mcllwe, Arthur Don- aldso In addition to the above four others are missing. FESTIVITIES BEGIN. and Czarina Moscow. Moscow May 20.—The arrival of the ezar and czarina to-day may be said to inaugurate the festival season in cele- bration of the coronation and for which the city and the whole empire hag made months of preparation. Their majesties arrived by special train. The station is about half-way between the Kremlin and the Petroyski palace, which is to be the abiding place of the czar until the triu.uphal entry into the city. The rain was pouring dawn in torrents as the train arrived, but this seemed to have no effect on the loyal ardor of the people, and they gathered at the station to the number of several thousand to accord a welcoming greet- ing to their sovereign and to catch a glimpse of his august person. ‘lhe streets were full of mud and the count- less flags and streamers fluttered fit- fully in a gusty breeze, The Czar Arrive in Officers of the A. P. A. Washington, May 20.—The list of the new officers of the A. P. A. was com- pleted at to-day’s session of the su- preme council, The additional officers are as follows: Secretary, W. J.

Joplin to be postmaster at Elizabethtown, Ky., to-day terminates a contest that has been in progress for two or three years. Joplin was appointed soon af- ter the beginning of the present ad- ministration to succeed Mrs. Emily 't. Helen, who was a sister of Mrs, Abra- ham Lincoln. Mrs. Helen’s friends an- tagonized confirmation and have been able to prevent it up to the present time. The confirmation was made to- day without objection. ‘WOMEN KIDNAP A MAYOR. Startling Methods of Reform Re- cently Instituted by St. Joseph's New Women. From St. Joseph, Mich., comes news sf a startling achievement of forty hew women of that place. They are leading members of local clube and church societies, and they are dis. satisfied with the way in which th® town is run. They endured it until a few days ago, when they decided on heroic measures. They kidnapped the mayor of the city. ‘They caught him on the street, drag- ged him into a private residence and announced their intention to keep him prisoner until he promised to co-oper- ate with them in a movement of re- form. They aired their grievances. These were that the laws were not being enforced, that the sale of cigar- etes was carried on with impunity, that young girls were being enticed away, that saloon regulations were loose and that boys of all ages were given liquor upon asking. They de- manded the adoption of a curfew bell, upon the ringing of which children of certain ages must retire from the street. The mayor was kept a prisoner for two hours. Finally, upon his promise to submit the matter to the executive department of the city he was allowed to leave. The men of St. Joseph are much excited over the determined stand made by the women, and their course is the one topic of discussion on the streets. Leather Pneumatic Tires. The use of leather for pneumatic tires is attracting attention. A Chi- cago company has on the market a tire, the outer case of which is manu- factured from a specially prepared leather, which contains an _ endless tube of rubber, firmly cemented on the underside to the leather. This makes practically a single tube leather tire. The manufacturers claim for this tire that it is especially adapted for use on rocky or flinty roads, and that it will stand an unusual amount of wear and tear without danger of puncture. Another quality claimed for these tires is that they will not slip on muddy pavements and are not affected by heat or cold.—Hardwere. Free Government Land. The only large body of free government land suitable for raising wheat or diversi- fied farming, open to settlement under the homestead law, lies in the Turtle mountain county of North Dakota.
