th The Meraia--Deview. E. ©. KILBY, Editor. MINNESOTA. GRAND RAPIDS - A lawsuit is the proper court dress for an attorney. The picture of health ‘is often a genuine work of art. One doesn’t have to be great in order to be misunderstood. When you set a bad example it is very apt to hatch mischief. The life work of the reformer seems to be everywhere except at home. Strange to say, it is the conversation with no point to it that bores quickest. A bachelor always feels sorry for a pretty girl who marries some other man. Some people are charitable only when they are sure the world will hear of it. Some people go to fight the Filipinos, and some stay at home and drink pink lemonade. From Walter Wellman’s present point of view he cannot see why any one should desire to be the iceman. The individual who sits down and waits for fame to visit him will find himself among the left-over baggage after the express train has come and gone, The agrarian party in the Prussian diet has managed to secure a vote ad- verse to the emperor's canal plans. Their victory has been greater than they anticipated. The emperor’s wishes regarding the measure were well known. He-made his intention of car- rying out his canal construction ideas with a strong hand very plain in his speeches at the opening of the Dort- mund-Ems canal. But the abgeord- netenhaus, or lower house of the diet, as reported by a reliable Berlin cor- respondent, has rejected not only the Rhine-Elbe canal measure by a major- ity of 98, but also the paragraph re- lating to the Dortmund-Rhine canal by the close vote of 212 to 209. to blast with H. Schaw proposes instead of the high-pressure steam, usual inflammable explosives, which are so dangerous, in fiery mines. Mr. Schaw suggests that a cartridge of water lodged in a shot hole could be converted into steam at a pressure of about 150 pounds a square inch by “means of fow-tension electricity, and the cartridge should be made of such strength that it would burst at about t pressure, when the force set at liberty would break down the coal. When the cartridge bursts the wire is fused and the electric circuit is broken, so that there is no further risk of ignition of firedamp or coaldust. Mr. Schaw maintains that the force devel- oped by the water cartridge will be sufficient to break down the undercut coal in a mine. , SS a When congress, in 1898, enacted that “hereafter all first-class battleships and monitors owned by the United States shall be named for the states” it un- wittingly provided a cause of conten- tion among some of the states. Re- cently the good people of Connecticut objected because the name of their state was selected for a vessel no more pretentious than a 2,755-ton monitor. As the law, moreover, while providing that all battleships and monitors shall be named after states, does not provide that each state shall have a vessel of one of those classes to bear its name, it happens that the citizens of Cali- fornia are now objecting because their state is to be represented in the navy not by a battleship but by an armored cruiser. The appearance in one of the Sep- tember magazines of another sympo- ¢ium on “The Secret of Success” may ‘tbe regarded as one more sign of the fascination which this subject has for ambitious young America. It is in re- sponse to a genuine demand that sim- ilar articles have appeared in print in this country at intervals for many years, and the interest in the theme seems in nowise abated. The young American, more than the young man of any other country, is filled from the start with the purpose not mereiy to do well, but to do so well as to win distinction. Any advice as to how tuat end is to be attained is absorbed with eager interest, even though the bur- den of the counsel, as in the case of the symposium in Pearson’s Maga- zine, which is written by several mer- chant princes and brilliant profession- al men, is the same. Men whose call- ings are so unlike as are those of Dr. Parkhurst, Gen. Miles, Admiral Samp- son, E. L. Godkin and Dr. Gedfge F. Shrady, to say nothing of several mi- lionaires, are practically unanimous in reiterating that hard work is at the bottom of all true success, Only 7,004 pianos and organs in Chi- cago, or about one for each 300 per- sons, does not necessarily indicate an absence of musical taste or ability in the inhabitants so much as an alarm- ing absence of mind when the owners of musical instruments appear before | the assessors, San Domingo’s revolutionists are en- tering into their rebellion with a good deal of spirit. This is natural, since ! they have not had a revolt since last year and that was nipped in the bud before it had given them any fun.

The failure is lixely to ruin many other big houses. A case somewhat similar to that of Captain Dreyfus now being tried be- fore a court-martial at Rennes for treason is reported at Nancy. The po- lice claim to have found at the re- sidence there of a French artillery subaltern, a commission in the Ger- man army and valuable French army maps.

Pay dispatch to the Herald ‘trom Santo Domingo says: There is little doubt that Jiminez will succeed to the presidency as soon as he arrives. The peace and tranquillity which per- vade the city are in marked contrast with the conditions that existed a few days ago, and show how popular the revolution is with the masses.

Na Seen een Se ) FAVORS DREYFUS. A Very Satisfactory Day fir the Cap- tain, Rennes, Sept. 3. — Yesterday was a very satisfactory day for Dreyfus. The Beaurepaire witness, Germain, who was to prove that Dreyfus attend- ed the Alsatian maneuvers, found his statements denied by a reputable wit- ness, while Germain himself, it was proved, underwent two convictions for swindling. This was the only testi- mony against Dreyfus, the remainder of tle depositions being in bis favor, several of them being very weighty, as in case of Capt. Carvalho, Gen. Sebert and Maj. Hartman, their evidence go- ing to show that particul of the firing manual of the “120” gun and hydraumatic brake were almost mat- ters of common information among the officers, and the contention that Dreyfus from his speciai position on the staff and peculiar methods could be acquainted with them has no solid bi This was the sum of the day’s proceedings, which were not marked by any incident of unusual interest, the Roget-Brayere episode, in which Gen.

TROUBLE THREATENED. A Hitch in Chicago's Cornerstone Laying May Occur. Chicago, Sept. 3.—There is no -possi- bility of trouble over the laying of the corner stone of Chigago’s new post- oltice building. The ceremony is to be a part of the fall festival to be held during the first week of October, but it is said the members of the unions af- filiated with the building trades council will decline to act without an agree- ment that the stone shall be cut by members of the Chicago Stonecutters’ union. The bricklayers and stonema- sons, the stone derrick men and the hod carriers and building laborers’ or- ganizations gay they will give the stonecutters the support desired. The common council will ask Pres!- dent McKinley to refuse to lay the corner stone unless there is a settle- ment with the labor organizations. President Sullivan says in case the stone was set by non-union labor a gen- eral strike of the building trades would be called. Lut Otis Was Strancely Reluctant to Give Him an Assignment. New York, Sept. 3. — A dispatch to the World from Hongkong says: Private advices from Manila state that Gen. Joseph Wheeler, in a conver- sation last Menday, said he had re- peatedly applied to Gen. Otis for some- thing to do. Otis, he declared, had staved him off under various pretexts, with the evident determination of side- tracqing him. Gen. Bates will return to Jolo to continue the negotiations for the pacification cf the Southern archipelago and to ‘post the garrisons in the various towns. Gen.

Tex., Sept. — A dispatch from Chihuahua, Mexico, says the mil- itary authorities there have received news of an attack on the municipality of Guadalupe by a force of about 200 Yaqui Indians. A small body of sol- diers was stationed at the town to pro- tect its inhabitants and the eng ment between them and the Yaquis was fierce and lasted for several hours. The Inc finally withdrew, Trying off their dead and wounded. Twe sol- diers were killed and about five wound- ed. Several houses were burned by the Indians. After leaving the town the Indians made # id on the ranch of Guillerme Chanetla, near Guada- lupe, burned all the ranch buildings and drove off veral hundred head of horses and cattle. Many of the In- dians are armed with Mauser rifles, and it is reported that their sharp shooters are picking off scores of Gen. Forres’ soldiers and that that officer will soon be e-mpelled to withdraw his force of troops to Guaymas to await reinforcements. Another regiment of soldiers is expected to reach Guaymas from Mazatlan in about ten days. Yaquls Twice Defeated.

ELDERS MOBBED. Young Woman Killed in the Melee and Her Slayer Commits Suicide. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 38. — On Wednesday night six Mormon elders were conducting a meeting in a school house at Pine Bluff, Stewart county, when the building was stermed by a mob of over 100 men. Eggs and rocks were thrown through the win- dows and, the building almost entirely demolished. Those present fled in a panie to save their lives, as bullets commenced to strike the building thick and fast. Elders Hiram Olson and H. C. Petty left the building with a view of making their escape. Miss Harden, MORMON he popular young woman of the place, walked between the elders with a view of protecting them from the mob, As the trio passed down the road bul- lets were fired from ambush. The woman was hit and almost instantly Her brothers avowed they would avenge the crime and when the first excitement died out, secured bloodhounds and placed them on the trail of the assassins. Burton Vinson, a prominent young farmer, and super. intendent of a Sunday school, wrote a confession, stating he had killed the girl, but that it was an accident and tiat he wished to rid himself of re- morse of conscience. Shortly after the confession the bloodhounds trailed to his house. Vinson turned, picked up a qnife, cut his throat and almost at the same instant sent a bullet through his brain. The family and officer's posse witnessed the suicide. Charged With High Treason.
