The Gerald-Review. by E. Kiley. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. “A lost opportunity finds its way back. When you love, love like a house on fire. A girl is or never has better clothes at home than she has with her, Something should be done right away to break the thermometer of the roof-garden habit. The punch over the solar plexus did for Corbett just what punch inside the solar plexus is doing for Sullivan. Now that $100 wheels have rolled down to $75 it is hoped that the $100 typewriters will soon learn the same trick. In Mexico City “first-class American butter, made by an expert,” is adver- tised at 50 and 56 cents a pound, at wholesale and retail respectively. Some dude has written an article, en- titled, “Should women go to war?” Of course not, except with their neigh- bors. What a dunce that chap must be! Out in Webster City, Iowa, the hot weather has been hatching the eggs in the grocery crates. This shows where Colonel Joe Muihatton is spend- ing his summer vacation. The Christian Endeavorers left Chi- cago with several new and improved “yells.” Think of Paul and Timothy starting for Macedonia on a mission- ary journey and giving a “yell” as they left Ephesus. At least Gen. les has the satisfac- tion of having inspired a good man to follow his example. The Prince of Wales went to a reception. There was nobody at the door to welcome him and he went away. A Topeka paper remarks concerning a recent abduction and the arrest of the abductor: “It is presumed that a term in the penitentiary will satisfy the enraged parents.” But haven't they already suffered enough? President Kruger’s order that Queen Victoria’s “Jubilee day” be observed as a holiday in the South African repub- lic must have appealed to students of politics as a noteworthy return of good for evil. Such exchanges are none too common, and they are seldom so graciously made—though, as a well- known clergyman has wisely said, the purpose of “coals of fire” is not to scorch an enemy, but to melt him. Among the maxims of the late Bar- ney Baranto were the following: “Nev- er let a man put his hand on you with- out giving him ‘what for,’ and always have the first hit.” ‘You have no right to spoil another man’s game, as long as he plays it cleverly; he will expose himself soon enough when hy ceases to be clever at it.” “Never play the game above the people’s heads, but as they think they understand it; you have a bit in hand every time then;” and, “Always wind up with a good cur- tain, and bring it down before the pub- lic gets tired or has had time to find you out.” “TI remember McKinley,” says one of his oldest friends, quoted in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, “as a man with his full share of impulsiveness. The time was when he gave away as other men do under strain or provocation. Do you want to know what wrought the change? For twenty-five years this man has stood between his wife and all that might give her the slight- est worry. No matter what the load he was bearing, he has never failed to wear into her presence a smiling face. Whatever emotions might be surging underneath, he has appeared calm and placid on the surface. This frail be- ing owes her life to his shielding care. Self-control was born of that twenty- five years of devotion. There you have the whole explanation of what is so admirable in McKinley’s character.” The lower house of the Prussian diet or parliament has rejected a govern- ment measure which, had it become law, would have greatly abridged the right of free speech. Under the pro- visions of the bill, the police officer who represents the government at all political meetings in Prussia would have had power to disperse any meet- ing when in his judgment it was con- trary to the criminal law or to the pub- lic order, or when among the audience he saw any person whom he thought to be a mizor. The police would have had authority also to dissolve any as- sociation which held such a meeting, or which had minors among its mem- bers; and penalties of fine and impris- onment were provided for any one who might remain at a meeting or con- tributed to the funds of a society un- der the ban of the police. An exchange says that almost within the arctic circle, in north latitude 65 to 70 degrees, Iceland, with its popu- Jation of 70,000, is warmed on the west coast by the Gulf srteam, and can raise fair hay crops and sparse root crops. About 65 per cent of the population are occupied in rearing sheep and cat- tle, which are largely consumed at home, the first named exported in moderate numbers to British ports. Sheep are not shorn, but in early sum- mer the fleeces loosen on the animal, and the loose wool is easily detached; most of the surplus goes to England. | ment officials, who are naturally ex- EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK LY A CONDENSED FORM, A General Resume of the Most Im- portant News of the Week From All Parts of the Globe, Boiled Down and Arranged in Con- venient Form for Rapid Perusal By Busy People. . Washington Talk. A Washington dispatch says that Senator Nelson and Representative Mc- Cleary have accepted the invitation of Mark Hanna to take part in the Ohio campaign this fall. Nelson will speak at three places. Incited by the newspaper publica- tions, recently, tending to throw doubt on the authenticity of the Klondyke geld fields, some of the high govern- pected to deal with the question, if it comes to a practical issue, have been quietly looking into the matter with a view to preparing themselves for any controversy that might arise. ‘Their views are, in substance, that there can be no valid objection advanced to the title of Great Brirain to this territory. Personal Mention. Newton Haight, aged 59, traveling passenger agent for the Union Pacific railroad, is dead at St. Louis. Rev. Henry Day, D. D., widely known throughout the Baptist church as preacher and editor, is dead at In- dianapolis Michael Doctor of Hawarden, Iowa, who went to Chicago to have a cancer removed, died from the operation, and was interred in Chicago yesterday. George Walker of Ohio has been ap- pointed assistant attorney for the de- partment of justice. Mr, Walker went to Washington several years ago as | correspondent of the Cleveland Leader and has been engaged in newspaper work there until within a few years, when he was admitted to the bar and began the active practice of law. Casualties. Roy Long of Cedar Falls, Iowa, a stock buyer, was killed by lightning | near Fredsville. A horse he was driv- ing was also killed. Louis Alleman, Willie Schuen and Eddie Johnson, ranging in age from 9 to 15 years, were drowned while bath- ing at St. Louis. Criminal. Burglars entered the meat market of Larsen & Madsen at Cedar Falls, Ia., last night, drilled a hole in the safe, and robbed it of $300. A supposed double suicide by illu- minating gas occurred at Jersey City. The victims were Henry Aubert, 58 years old, and Mina, his wife, 56 years oid. it is thought business reverses was the cause. Attorneys Gibbs and Dohs, counsel for Chris Ecklerbe, convicted of the murder of Mina Keil at Bellevue, Ia., and sentenced to the penitentiary for life, will take an appeal to the United States supreme court. Justice Harlan, of tLat court, in a recent lecture, said that the evidence of the tramp Mur- phy, which was mainly instrumental in the conviction of Ecklerbe, should aot have been admitted. Foreign Notes. Gen. Gallieni, the commander of the French forces in the Island of Mada- gascar, has been appointed governor- general of that island. Word has been received from Val- paraiso that the American bark Non- antum, Capt. Newhald, from Newcas- tle, N. S. W, pril 4, for Panama, has been lost on Easter island, and that all on board were saved. The Cherokee national council has just adjourned after a ten-day extra session. An important step was taken in furnishing the Dawes commission with all Cherokee rolls of citizenship, that it might make a final list looking to the winding up of Cherokee affairs preparatory to the prespective change. Alfred Alff, vice consul of the United States, in charge at Canton, China, has informed the state department that the water course in that district, common- ly known as the West river, has final- ly been opened to trade and commerce as far westward as Woo-Chan-Foo, popularly known as Ny-Chan, which has been made a treaty port.

Robert Fitzsimmons js about to grat- ify the ambition of his life. Soon his colors will be shown on the race track by thoroughbreds from his own stable. The government lost $32,000,000 by the importation of goods made in an- ticipation of the passage of the Dingley tariff bill.

The Jaalons lost 2,000 killed, Albert and Clara Franks of Toledo were found in a Lake Shore stock car at Butler, Ind., by a conductor, beating their way to Klondyke. The woman had on men’s clothing and was good- looking. They had a large sum of money, but were beating their way to save it to buy their outfit for the gold tields, which they expected to reach early in the spring. At the request of Judge Owens at Leadville, Colo., the district attorney nolled twenty-seven indictments re- turned by the grand jury against the city and county officers for failure to enforce the laws. The judge refused to have the two indictments against himself nolled, but this will be done when another judge is sitting.

The Osborn chateau, one of the finest architectural triumphs of the century, will be opened soon as a Home for Aged and Friendless Women. It was built by Charles Osborn, the New York banker, and after his death was occu- pied by his son, Charles, who was wid- est known because of his elopement with Fay Templeton. His conduct broke the heart of his mother. She willed the chateau to the state for the purposes above stated. It overlooks Long Island sound midway between Oriental Point and the American Yacht Club quarters at Milton. The nearest building to it is the old cabin in which lived Harvey Birch, the hero of Coop- er’s “Spy.” Elder Tice Spear, of Tompkinsyville, Ky., is the oldest Christian preacher in that part of the country, if not in the United States. Mr, Spear is 87 years old, and has been preaching sixty. Hie walks to all of his appointments and carries a large valise containing his earthly possessions. He is one o the few who preach only for the good of the cause. During the sixty years of his ministry he has not receivea more than $250, aud has never solicited a donation. Notwithstanding his ad- vanced age, Mr. Spear gets about as lively as a boy of 18, and says he hopes to be able to preach his last sermo! on his 100th birthday. : { STRIKING MINERS CONTINUE THEIR HARD STRUGGLE, But Little Change in the Pennsyl- vania Situation — Operators Will Seek Further Injunctions—A Con- flict Possible Between Strikers and Negroes—Circulation of the Untformity Called for, Agreement — Militia i Pittsburg, Aug. 10—The strikers are continuing orderly and are gaining ac- cessions to their ranks constantly. The 150 men employed at the Homer & Roberts coal mine at Elizabeth have refused to go to work, and about 75 miners at the Equitable mines, in the same locality, also struck, The company leased the ground where the strikers located yesterday and ousted them, but another field has been secured by the strikers, which the owner refused to lease to the company and a permanent camp will be estab- lished. Saturday was pay day at Sandy Creek, and when the strikers demand- ed their pay they were told that inas- much as they had broken their iron- clad contract no money whatever was due them. The legality of the contract will be tested in the courts. A special from West Newton says: The sympathy of the entire communi- ty is with the striking miners. The use of a large building on Third street has been been given free for a com- missary and the townspeople farmers have contributed provisions liberally. Simultaneously with the move on Westmoreland county mines this week a demonstration will be made against the Washington Run mines in Fayette county. More than 400 miners are or- ganized in Fayette City and are ready to march, The apphcation for a preliminary in- junction to restrain the miners from congregating near the mines at Turtle Creek is likely to be presented to-day by counsel for the New York & Cleve- land Gas Coal company. This new move is to be made for the. purpose of getting the aid of the United States ma as well the sheriff of Alle- gheny county to break up the camps the strikers have established. Pending developments the miners in the three camps besieging the De Ar- mitt mines are resting. At no time during the strike has the situation been so critical, but no one who has been in the district every day since the commencement of the marches be- lieves that the miners will be drawn into a fight. If trouble does come it will not be between the strikers and deputies, but between the strikers and tre negroes in the camp at Unity, who are employed on the new Pittsburg & Bessemer railway. The deputies will be drawn in to quell the trouble, and a three-cornered fight is not improba- ble. The strikers’ camp is separated from that of the negroes by a town- ship read. Already there have been several brawls between the two parties, ‘The negroes are walking arsenals, while the strikers have no weapons. pares At a Low Ebb. Wheeling, W. Va., Aug 10—The week just closed finds the miners’ cause at a low ebb in the Wheeling district. Since the refusal of the Boggs Run men to join the strike the affairs of the United Mine Wo organizers to keep the men out at Elm Grove, Glen- dale and Moundsville have met with poor success. The strike leaders will make another supreme effort to bring cut these men this week. There has been a ‘ge decrease in the amount of West Virginia coal going west via Wheeling on the Baltimore & Ohio, Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling and the Wheeling & Lake Erie roads. Seeking Signatures. Cleveland, Aug. 10.—J. B. Zerbe, the Cleveland member of the true uniform- ity committee of operators, has re- ceived a copy of the official agreement and ted at once in search of rep- resentatives of mines in the Pittsburg field. He secured the signatures of the Moon Run Coal company, M. A. Han- na & Co., Pickands, Mather & Co., Os- borne, Seager & Co. and Walsh Upstill Coal company. The Cleveland opera- tors are in favor of any scheme that will bring about the uniformity in the Pennsylvania field and an improve- ment in the condition of the miners. phrases Call for Troops. Springfield, IIL, Aug. 10.—Goy, Tan- ner has received the following tele- gram from Sheriff Randall of Mont- gomery county, at Coffeen, Ill.> “Coun- ty and local resources exhausted. Must. have militia.” In reply Goy. Tanner sent a telegram saying: “Please advise fully of the nature of the trouble and what you have done. In the meantime it is your duty to protect life and property and preserve the peace. It is your duty to call every able-bodied man between the ages of eighteen and forty-five in your county to your aid.” BER Militia Called Ont. Fairport, Ohio, Aug. 10—The iron ore shovelers are on a strike. The laborers demanded one gang boss to each gang, the gang boss to handle the line, to dump the buckets and to draw one man’s pay. They demand to be paid from the office by envelope instead of the boss dividing the money, taking a certain share from each man’s pay, and running from two to seven gangs and doing no work. The men say they do not care to support bosses this way. If the company wants them let them pay them. The men refuse to work and the militia has been called out. Ce aaa er The Wheel Is Healthful. Washington, Aug. 10. — A character- istically thorough an@ scientific Ger- man summary of the benefits and evils of bicycle riding is submitted to the state department by United States Consul Kennan, at Bremen, in an ar- ticle prepared by Dr. Mendelssohn. He cites the temperaments and diseases that are affected favorably or injuri- ously, and his general conclusion is that in moderation bicycle riding is of inestimable value to the average per- son and | jarchist. Madrid, Aug. 10—Senor Canovas del Castillo, the prime minister of Spain, was assassinated at Santa Agueda by an anarchist. The murderer fired three shets, two of which struck the premier in the head and the other in the chest. ‘The wounded man lingered uncon- scious for two hours. His wife was oe a short distance away when he ell. ‘The murderer declares that he killed Senor Canovas “in accomplishment of a just vengeance,” and that the deed | is the outcome of a vast anarchistic conspiracy. He is believed to have arrived at Santa Agueda the same day as the premier, and he was frequently seen lurking in the passages of the bathing establishment in a suspicious manner, The health of Senor Canoyas had im- proved greatly of late. He had been Jeading a very quiet life, although he attended to the business of state. At the memert of the assassination he Was waiting in the gallery of the bath- ing establishment for his wife, who was to join him for lunch, Suddenly the assassin, who had the appearance of an ordinary visitor, approached and fired at him point blank, one bullet passing through the body and coming out behind the left shoulder, and the other two lodging in the head. He fell instantly and only recovered con- sciousness long enough to speak a few words, Be Ds Washington, Aug. 10. — This govern- ment probably has already re the formal notification of Premier ovas’ assassination, but if so it is locked up with other dispatches in the state department and will not be known until Secretary Sherman rezches the department. The secre- ta received the first news of the af- fair through the Associated Press bul- letin. He expressed deep interest in the details. He said: ‘This deplora- ble event will have some effect, of course, on the political affs of Spain, but to what extent I cannot say.

How it may be in this case Lam not able to say, but the ef- . politically, of such an event are ntially fa aching and have not always produced radical develop- ments. <As to the consequences of the conflict in Cuba, I do not care to talk. I have no official information of the assassination and must refrain from venturing guesses as to what it may effect in the future.” Asked as to how long he now thought the Cuban insurrection mignt last, he replied that that was prob- lematical, and he did not care to dis- cuss it. He added that he had heard various names of prominent leaders in Spain mentioned, but he was not well informed as to them, and there was nothing on which he could base a pre- diction as to Cauovas’ probable suc- cessor. Senator Morgan, a member of the foreign affairs committee of the sen- ate und the champion of Cuba in that body, predicted that the assassination might be the forerunner of a complete change of government, a republic re- placing the monarchy. This, he thought, was the present tendency and this event he regarded as an evidence of the disintegration of the Spanish government. Two Emperors Meet. Cronstadt, Aug. 10—The emperor and empress of German. rrived here on board the imperial ‘ht Hohenzollern. They were met by the czar and cordial exchange of greetings followed. The roads were full of vessels decorated with flags and the shore was thronged with enthusiastic crowds of people. After the greetings on board the yac! their majesties boarded the Rus imperial yacht Alexander and proceed- ed to the Peterhof palace, where they were received by all the grand dukes, grand duchesses and the distinguished guests of the czar. After luncheon the emperor and empress visited the ezar and czarina at the Villa Alexnardia and then made calls upon other mem- bers of the royal family. Great Achievement by Sidwell. Cincinnati, Aug. 10.—At Christopher track on the third-mile banded track two world’s amateur records, flying start, were broken by Harry Sidwell of Cevington, Ky., in a run for record. A. A. Zimmerman, the famous wheel- man, made several exhibition rurs. Here are Sidwell’s two broken records: , one-third mile, amateur flying paced by quad and triplet; time, Second, one-half-mile, start, paced by quad; time, former record, :54, by A.

Aug. 10—Alfred Packer, con- victed of killing five companions who were lest in the mountains with him in 1873 and eating their flesh, and sen- tenced to the penitentiary for forty years, has applied for a pardon. He claims that four of his companions were killed by the fifth, who had be- come crazy, and that he shot the mad man dead as the latter was rushing at him with a hatchet. No Panic Feared, Mexico City, Aug. 10.—There is no panic in commercial circles. The pre- diction of a still lower price for silver made by Director Preston, of the United States mint, is published here by the newspapers and mvch com- mented on. The government will punctually meet its interest on debt held in Europe and also in the City of Mexico. Fortunately the revenues have been augmenting so the goyern- ment faces the silver crisis in a good condition. It is probable the silver output will be somewhat checked. gards Buttermaking—He Will Spend Most of the Summer Mak- ing Experiments—He Has am Agent in Europe Who Is Ascer- taining the Needs of the English as Regards Coach Horses. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Aug. 7.—Secre- tary James Wilson, of the department of Agriculture, was in the city this morning on his way to his Tama coun- ty farm. He talked freely of his plans to better the condition of the farmers. He thinks Western butter is sure to have a much strenger bene in ate rope, especially in England, than now. | He pe that Minnesota has taken the lead, but that Iowa and Illinois are equally well prepared to make butter that will be in strong demand in England. “E expect to spend most of the sum- mer investigating and making experi- ments, and will spend a month in Wy- oming, Utah, Idaho and Arizona. ‘The purpose of my visit will be the study of the agricultural conditions of those states. It is to the Western states the world will soon look for sustenance. One of the principal objects of my yisit in the mountain states is to find out what they have in the shape of ranch horses. England is watching with eagerness the American horse- owner. I have an agent in Europe who has been and is now ascertaining the needs of the English as regards coach horses. My idea is for America to fur- Tish the coach horses for Europe.” cH PPEWA PINE. Estimators Expected to Be in the Field by Sept. 1. Washington, Aug. 7. — The instruc- tions to Chippewa pine land estimators have been completed at the interior department and it is expected that the new corps will be in the field by Sept. 1. These instructions are much more stringent than those given the former corps of estimators, and it is thought that there will be no opportunity for the gross inaccuracies charged to for- mer pine estimators. Darwin S. Hall, recently reinstated a Chippewa Indian commissioner, re- turned to Washington to-day. There have been rumors that he could not be commissioner owing to the refusal of Major Baldwin to resign. It is under- stood, however, tiat his commission, which was forwarded to Secretary Bliss, will be returned in a day or two. FOR A NEW CHARTER. Ramsey County Judges Name @& Charter Commission.
