We give our readers an extract from the speech of Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, delivered at the big repub- lican mass meeting in New York last week. Mr. Smith then arose and said: “Ladies and gentlemen The State of Virginia has had a great reputation asa producer of Presidents, The State of Ohio has recently shared that reputa- tion, but the Pine Tree State bas] taken its pesition asthe producer of great statesmen. (Applausee) “Ti has given us in this generation James G. Blaiue (prolonged cheers), and with Mr. ‘thomas B. Reed iu New England (applause) it has given us a rising, keen and powertal debater, a defender of the American Navy (cheers), a defen- der of our righi-, a defender of the tariff, and he 1s uete tv bight, the Hon.

Applause.) NEW YORK’S CELEBRATION. fhe Metropolis Profusely Decorated in Honor of the Occasion. The Columbus celebration in New York this week was one of the greatest events in the way of pageants that city hasever witnessed. The city was crowded with visitors and the elaborate program was carried out ina manner exhibiting admirable management. Public and private buildings from the Battery to Harlem were handsomely decorated. The celebration was ushered in on Sun- day with special services in all the churches appropriate to the occasion, On Monday the Columbian school parade occurred, in which 25,000 scholars from the colleges and public schpols of the city participated. Tuesday was devoted to the grand marine display in New York Bay and the North River, in which the vessels of the United States Navy and English, French, Italian and other for- eign men-of-war, together with nearly all the steam vessels of the harbor, took part. Probably the most important event on the program was the celebration on Wed« nesday. During the day the militia from various States, numbering 40,000 men, paraded from the City Hall to Cen- tral Park. In the evening the grand in- dustrial display was made over the same line of march as the parade during the day. The streets were brilliantly illuminated with electric lights and the scene was considered one of the grand- est civic displays ever made on this con- tinent. The day closed by an elaborate pyrotechnic display from the Brooklyn bridge. Bad Reading Ruined Them. Byron Dalton, father of the Dalton voys, who, with several other outlaws, were killed while raiding the banks of Coffeeville, Kan., last week, in an inter- view said: “My oldest bdy has always been honest and industrious, but the others through evil reading took to crooked ways when the James and Younger boys began their career of crime. They would not go to school, re- fused to work and lagged at anything that was honest. My sons were not ad- dicted to drink, but they desired a life of luxury, and would not attempt to secure it honestly. I don’t believe they bad money saved up, as they spent all that 2ame into their hands,;but the boys, out- laws as they were termed, were good to their parents. If their mother or I needed anything they gave it to us. They were not cowards, but the causes that led to their downfall made them do deeds that would never have been laid at their doors. My heart is broken and so is their mother’s,” Tired of Teaching. Overcome with shame and anger at her inability to punish one of thé refrac- tory boys in her school Miss Alice Gran- ger, a school teacher at Chatham, Ont., has taken her own life by means of mor- phine. Miss Granger has had charge of the school for three years and has always Leen successful with her pupils, until the present term, when a half-dozen incor- rigible boys came under her control. For six weeks they have made life a burden. She tried to use a rattan on Harry Bortling. He blackened the teacher’s eyes. She at once returned home and a few hours later was found stretched across her bed dead, In her hand was found this note: “I am tired teach bad boys.” —_———_— I { beer. ta a a *HE SEALING INDUSTRY. Decline in the Number of Seals Secured, Owing to Deep Sea Depredations. In his report to tie Department of State at Washington, D. C., the Gover nor of Alaska says of the seal industry: “The international complications vagard- ing the takin, of seals in the vcean and Bering Sea outside of the three-mile limit has added to the en:barassment of the lessee company in their business upon these islands, which had become seriously impaired by the wan- ton destruction of seal life by pelagic sealing. Only 7,500 seals were author= ized by the Goverament to be killed on the island in 1891, but some 6,000 had been slaughtered before the order was given, so that in all 18,500 were actually killed. It was deemed necessary to al- low this number for the purpose of se- enrine the carcasses for food for the nan lives, who otherwise, it was feared, would suffer, The season last winter proved unusually severe, the snow waa deeper than usual, opportunities for hunting were diminished and necessarily there were hard times. Still the people remained healthy in a remarkable de- gree. The statistics of the two islands St. Paul and St. Georgeshow that in 1891 there were fifteen births, thirteen deaths and five marriages im @ population of 311.” In again speaking of the sealing industry the Governor says he believes it is not an overestimate that the 52,087 seals taken in the ocean in 1891 indicates the destruction of 800,000 more, three. fourths of which were females. Of the whole catch the Victoria fleet is stated ta have taken 43,502 and the American fleet 8,585. < Won the Bet and Died, Nathaniel Brown, colored, died at Bal- timore, Md., after winning a bet that he could drink three pints of whiskey. Brown had first wagered that he could drink a piut and after pocketing the money won, offered to drink another if somebody paid for it, Thomas Nolan agreed to furnish the money. When the bottle was handed to Brown he drained it without removing it from his mouth. Joseph Evans, another one of thecrowd, then procured still another pint, which Brown also disposed of, By thistime he was feeling the effeots of the liquor, and | ing he wanted to get goodand drunk - the two empty bottles and with the proceeds topped off with @ schooner ot His comrades left him lying in an alley to get over his drunk, and when picked up by a policeman he was dead. Scranton Caving In. A big cave-in has occurred at Scranton, Pa., over the abandoned workings of the Central Mine. The cave-in threatens the safety of two of the finest buildings onthe west side. St. Patrick’s Church, recently completed at an expense of $100,000, and St. Patrick’s Orphan Asy- lum. The side walls of both the Orphan Asylum and the church are split from top to bottom, starting at the ground and continuing in zigzag manner to the eaves. The massive stone steps in front of the church have been moved about an inch and a half and the flags in front of the structures have settled several inches. Anumber of dwellings in the vicinity were affected by the cave-in. Mexico Storm Swept. The severest storms ever known in Mexico prevailed along the eastern coast of the republic during the first of the week, causing much damage to ves- sels and coast towns, from Tampico to Vera Cruz. In the State of Vera Crua there has been great destruction of pro- perty. The Vera Cruz Railroad was sompelled to suspend operations on ac count of landslides. The town of Sulta Barranca was struck by a cyclone and forty houses were razed to the ground. A large number of others were so badly damaged that they can not be occupied. One person was killed outright and sev- eral were injured at that place. Miss Verhoefs Anxiety. Miss Verhoeff, sister of John B, Ver- hoeff, the missing Arctic explorer, visited the Academy of Natural Sciences, Phila’ delphia, and made a thorough search of his effects there with the aid of an offi- cial of the institution. The various sci- entific paraphernalia and geological and meteorological specimens were presented to the Academy by the young lady. The fact that the trunk contained little cloth- ing is looked upon by Miss Verhoeff as another confirmation of her theory that the missing young man well equipped himself for an Arctic jaunt before disap- pearing. A Big Bonanza in Coal. Extraordinary reports are being made concerning new mineral discoveries of tin, iron and coal, in Australia. Rich lodes of tin have been found in Victoria, und immense beds of iron ore. The As sistant Government Geologist in Victoria reports that besides black coal areas cov ering 300 square miles, and containing some thirty million tons, there are strate vf brown coal, with seams averaging 186 feet in thickness, amounting to many sillions of tons. Government report from New South Wales estimate enough coal within easy worked areas to permit <n annual output of ten million tons fog many years to come, = pa ‘The Vanderbilt Yacht, The wrecked yacht Alva, -off the Massachusetts coast, is te be blown up,
