Uncle Dana thus coyly expresses a

The money that maintains a gamb

Pluck and industry is remarkably il
lustrated in the pathetic case case of a
young man in Portland, Mich., who,
knowing that he will be totally blind
in a few months, has invested all of
his available means in a loom, and is
learning to weave carpets as a means
of support. When trifles annoy you,
think of this sad case, and take cour
age.
A very wealthy man of New York
recently said that the sacrifices made
by capitalists in recent years in order
that their employes might not suffer
hardship would amount in the aggre
gate to an enormous sum. A manu
facturing concern with which he is as
sociated, he said, has suffered to the
extent of a little more than one hun
dred thousand dollars from the deter
mination of himself and his associates
to keep their workingmen employed.
Miss Shillaber, of Boston, following
the example of many others in the field
of literature, is about to go upon the
platform with reminiscences of her
father's life and readings from his writ
ings. Such a venture should be a great
success, for there are many who remem
ber with affectionate pleasure the say
ings of Mrs. Partington, the delightful
American Mrs. Malprop, which Mr. B.
P. Shillaber created. Mrs. Partington's
humor was delightfully refreshing and
the reader soon learned to love her for
her goodness of heart as well as for her
solecisms. While Mr. Shillaber's fame
grew out of his creation of Mrs. Part
ington, he was a writer of stories which
pleased the readers of a generation ago
with their quiet sketches of character,
their pathos, and their pure and elevat
ed tone.
United States Consul Norris, at
Ghent, has reported an interesting fact
to the State Department regarding the
manufacture of incandescent lamps. It
is that the most expensive product in
the world is the charcoal thread em
ployed in the lamps to furnish the
light. This will be interesting news to
the people who use electric light night
ly without being cognizant of such a
proxltnity of wealth. It is, for the
most part, manufactured at Paris and
comes from the hands of an artist.
This product is sold at wholesale by
the gramme, and, reducing this price
to the basis of pounds, it is easily found
that the filaments for lamps of twenty
candle-power are worth

the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs,
In acknowledgment of the resolution

Map of the Kootenai.
The most complete and artistic map
of the rich mining region of the Koot
enai and adjacent territory in Wash
ington and British Columbia has just
been published by the Northern Paci
fic railway. It is just what is needed
for those going to that country or who
desire to study and know about it.
The map is made in relief, is 25x18
inches in size between borders, and
has, in connection with it—on the same
page, two smaller maps that show the
relation of the region to the world at
large.
The principal drainage of the coun
try is laid down in blue, the trails and
roads are shown, the railways plainly
indicated, the names of important
towns printed in large black letters,
and the topography is represented in
brown. As far ae the ore deposits are
tynown, they are indicated, in a gen
eral way by red lettering.
The country shown upon the map
includes particularly, the Slocan,
Kootenai, Lake Cariboo Creek, Deer
Park, Nelson, Salmon River, Trail or
Rossland, and the Boundary Creek re
gions. It also showe the Arrow Lakes
and Lardeau country, and some por
tion of the Okanogan region.
The map is compiled from reliable
and official data, and shows tbe Min
ing District Subdivisions and the ele
vations of the- mountains and lakes.
The opposite side of the sheet con
tains an accurate statement and de
scription of the country showing its
discovery and development to the
present time. The! folder will be sent

MANY PEOPLE INJURED.
Indrrgronnd Hallway Coach De
niollMlied by an Explosion.
London, April 28.—A tremendous ex
plosion occurred on the underground
railway as a train tilled with men
from the city was making its usual
stop at the Aldersgate station. The
glass roof of (he station was blown
oufr and the platform strewn with
debris. Many of the gas lights in the
waiting rooms and on the platform
were extinguished and the station left
in semi-darkness. A general panic
ensued. After quiet had been re
stored it was found that a first-class
coach had been completely wrecked
and that' its occupants were lying
about maimed and bleeding. Ten of
the injured were found to be in a pre
carious condition and were removed
to hospitals. A number who were
standing on the platform were also
hurt. Much of the wreckage was
hurled across the station. The cause
of the explosion is not known, but it is
believed to have been the result of an
accumulation of gas which became
ignited in some way. Many persons,
however, believe that the disaster was
not due to accident, but was caused
by the explosion of a bomb which had
been placed in the station with the
intention of wrecking it.
HEW YDEFALCATIOXS.

a Loan anal Banking Company.
Memphis, Tenn., April 28.—A special
from Atlanta, Ga.. says: Harry A.
Cassiu, cashier of the Georgia Savings,
Loan and Banking company, who con
fessed to being a defaulter to the ex
tent of $45,000, and whose friends bad
agreed to pay up his shortage to keep
him out of jail, is now behind the bare
of Fulton prison. At a meeting of the
board of directors of the institution a
brief examination of the books was
made and this resulted in the astound
ing discovery that the bank, which
was supposed to be one of the most
prosperous in the state, had barely a
cent's worth of assets. Instead of the
shortage being $45,000 it will be sev
eral times that sum, and instead of
Cassin being the bearer of the entire
guilt it is now believed that at least
one other conspicuous official will
share a cell with him within the next
few hours.

Traffic Completely Blocked—
Leveea Break In Maay I'laccn.
.. Ottumwa, Iowa, April 28.—The Des
Moines river, which last midnight was
stationary at the high water mark es
tablished by the great flood of 185)2.
suddeuly began to climb, and by 8
o'clock had added fifteen inches to the
record. The levees broke in many
places, railroad embankments were
undt.-rii-ined and hundreds of families
were compelled to move. In Ottum
wa. over J00 families were compelled
to move, a large number making their
escape in Is. At Eddyville, eigh
teen iv.il :s iioi tli of this city, 100 fam
ilies viioatrfd their domiciles, and the
principal streets are being navigated
in row boa*.e. At South Ottumwa the
river flows parallel with the main
street. It broke across this street and
poured down the residence and busi
ness streets, causing a panic and a
scramble for higher ground. Five
thousand people reside in this suburb.
The water stands four feet deep in
Fairview. A large reservoir situated
at. the summit of Court hill is the
source of considerable fear. The re
cent downpour has swollen the sources
of supply and the reservoir is so full
that it threatens to burst and flood
the populous districts just below. Al
though the railroad companies have
made strenuous efforts to save their
property traffic is almost at a stand
still. All tbe small streams in South
ern Iowa are out of their banks. Rail
road bridges are gone and travel by
highway is out of the question.
Work on the levees before this city
have been progressing since last Fri
day, but a sudden rise destroyed a
great part of the labors. Large forces
are employed in an endeavor to pre
vent further breaks. The suburbs
have so far been the worst sufferers
aside from the railroads. West Ot
tumwa, a large residence section, is
entirely flooded and the water is still
rising. The inhabitants cliug to their
homes, however, hoping that the worst
is "over. Rich farming lands above and
below the city are inundated. The
flood there has not reached a high
stage but lias spread out in many
places to a width of five or six miles.
No loss of life has been' reported but.
the damage to property is very large.

Natchez. Miss.. April 28.—The crev

breaks above is now going down the
Tensas river at a rapid rate, causing
that stUream to rise at the rate of seven
inches in twenty-four hours. At Clay
ton station there is left only five feet
of bank. The Black river is also ris
ing from the same cause, and in a
day or two traffic over the Natchez,
Red River & Texas railroad will sus
pend operations. The United States
steamer Miegs came down to-day and
put off a week's rations for 200 refu
gees, of which it is estimated there
are 500- in Natchez. She will proceed

wide. Workmen are now making a
bulkhead to protect the upper end of

FOR KIU.19IG A DOG.
United StatcK Supreme Court Rc
fuiteH Damage*.
Washington. April 28. The I'uited
States supreme court has decided a
case involving a claim for damages
for killing a dog which had made its
way from the lower courts of New Or
leans through the various phases of
litigation to be finally decided here in
opposition to the claim. The suit was
instituted by George W. Sentell, Jr..
vs. the New Orleans & Carrolltou
Railroad company. The dog. a New
foundland valued at $200, was killed
by a car owned by the railroad com
pany. The case turned upon the val
idity of an act of the Louisiana legis
lature recognizing dogs as personal
property only when placed on the as
sessment rolls. In this case the dog
was not assessed. Justice Brown
delivered the opinion, sustaining tlie
constitutionality of the law and refus
ing damages.

What People With Diseased Nerves
Are Wont to Say.
But There Is Hope.
Learn Wisdom From the Indian and Like
Him Know Kot the Meaning of Nerves.
No one can realize the terrible suffering a
perron has to undergo who has diseased nerves.
Everything seems to irritate him, and actually,
everything considered, but little sympathy
should be extended to snch a sufferer, as there
is no excuse for tbe existence of this dreadful
and harrassing disease. With pure blood, and
the toraach in perfect condition, and with the
other organs of the body working properly,
health alone can be the result, and with health,
nerves are forgotten. Keep the great vital
organs of the body healthy, and the result is, a
perfect appetite, nights of refreshing and quiet
sleep and a body that is strong and robust.
