CAIRO, 111.. J a n . 14.—A terr ible death-dealing cyclone swept the town of Clinton, Ky., th i r ty miles south of hero, on the I l l inois Central railway, at 7 o'clock Sunday n i g h t demolishing aeventy-five buildings, ins tant ly killing eleven people and In jur ing fifty-five others more or less severely. Follow-ing is a list of tho killed?'

J . A. Rhodes, w i f e and two ch i ldren , John W . Caddie , W a l t e r Nance , aged 13; Mrs. W. C. Bones , B u r n e t Bones, aged 14; J . R . G r a h a m a n d two ch i ld ren .

Following is a part ia l l is t of the houses demolished or damaged:

J R. G r a h a m , J . W . N a n c e a n d G. R. Gwlnn ' s r e s idences ; C. 8 . Voorhces ' r e s idence and s to re ; C. S. Ju s t i ce , J . W . Gaddlp, Mrs . M. A. Taylor , W . L Rudd, D. S tubb le f le ld , R o b e r t Johnson, M r s . R. S. F o s t e r , R. L. An thony , E . Sub l e t t e and W. C. B o n e ' s res idences .

The storm camo swooping down upon t he town with a horrible roar from the southwest, leveling every th ing in its pa th and filling tho air wi th missiles of every doscription. I t picked up build-ings as though they were toy houses and ut terly wrecked all telegraphic com-munication In every direction.

JTho first house struck in Clinton was the section-house of the Illinois Cen-t ra l railroad, occupied by Mr. J . A. Rhodes and family. Tho house was torn to spl inters and Mr. Rhodes and two children were ki l led outright. His wife and one chi ld escaped death, but both are dangerously h u r t Among the many other incidents tho house of Mr. John Gaddio was blown down, and afterwards Gaddie was found under the debris with an infant in his arms. Gaddie was dead but the child was not h u r t T h e house of Robert Johnson, which stood on t he brow of tho hill, seemed to di-vide in half, cut t ing in two just below the second floor and lot t ing tho upper portion fall in i ts place. Mr. Johnson was in the lower room and tho upper pa r t fell on him, pinning him to t he earth wi th a joist across his back. His moans a t t rac ted attention and he was rescued. His son Robert was upstairs and dangerously hurt by fal l ing t imbers. Although suffering intense agony he begged his rescuers to le t him alone and help some one who could live. His brother David was also badly h u r t

The ent i re east side of the town is wrecked. Most of the buildings were of a substant ial character, of brick and stone, costing 83,000 to 84,000 each. These went down like chaff. Tho in-tensi ty of tho wind actual ly killed poultry and birds, many being picked up dead in the s t r ee t An eyo witness thus describes the cloud as i t whirled toward the doomed city:

The force of the wind was sufficient to l i f t buggies, carriages and wagons in tho air hundreds of foot, dashing them to the ear th into splinters. Organs, pianos, sewing machines, every th ing tha t was portable was wrecked.

A young man named Bones, aged 14, was picked up by tho wind from tho flying t imbers and dropped upon tho ground dead a considerable distance away.

Clinton presents a dreary aspect, bu t under tho circumstances tho citizens bear their burdens nobly. Tho work of helping tho dest i tute and homeless goes forward. Many farmers whoso lands adjoin tho ci ty have come forward and offered shel ter and homes to those who havo lost their all.

Tho damage to property a t Clinton will not fall much short of 8175,000.

The storm passed north of New Mad-rid, Mo., crossing the river near a point opposite Moscow, Ky., thence northwest to Clinton and Wickllffe. T h e path of the storm was about a quar te r of a mile wide.

Meager reports from Moscow say some considerable damage was inflicted in t h a t locality, but no lives l o s t

A BALSAM PILLOW.

How Brie Earned Money t o P a y the Hired Help.

Now tha t flr needles and hemlock noodles have become recognized articles ot commerce, and every other shop boasts Its row of f ragrant cushions, *ith their inevitable motto: "Give Me of Thy Balm, O Fir Tree," I am re-minded of the flrst pillow of the sort that I ever saw, and of what it meant to the girl who made i t I should like to tell you the l i t t le story, simple as i t is. It belongs to the time, e ight or nine years since, before pine pillows became popular. Perhaps Chateaubriand Dor-wtmay be.said, for once in her life, to tave sot a fashion.

Yes, tha t was really her name! Her ®other met with i t in a newspaper, and, Without the least Idea as to whether it appertained to man or woman, adopted It for her baby. The many syllables fascinated her, I suppose, and there was, besides, tha t odd joy in a piece of ex-travagance which costs nothing which appeals to the th r i f ty New England H'ture, and is one of its wholesome out-lets and indulgences.

So tho Methodist older baptized the child "Chateaubriand Arainlntha,"mak-inf very queer work of the unfamiliar Wcents; and then, as far as practical Purposes are concerned, the name Wasod to be. How can a busy house-"M, with milk to set, milk to skim, and pans to scald, and butter to ,ma3te, and

to feed, find time for a name like 'bat? "Baby" the l i t t le girl was called "H she was well settled on her feet and |bo use of her l i t t le tongue. Then she became "Brie ," and Brio Dorset she re-gained to tho end. Few people recol-•octed tha t she possessed any other ®aino, unless tho marriage, birth and death pages of the family Bible happened 10 bo under discussion.

The Dorset's was one of those plctur-^ u e , lonely outlying farms, past Whioh P60?!® drive In t h e summer, saying: How retired! how peacofull" but past

*blch no ono drives in the winter. I t |tood, with its environment of red barns ' id apple orchards, a t the foot of a low Ign i t e cliff whoso top was crowned *lth a fir wood; and two enormous elm •®08 met over its roof and made a Boeker-work of l ight and shade on its losely-blinded f r o n t No sign of life PPoared to the city people who drew loir horses in to admire the situation. I c ept, perhaps, a hen scratching in the •eetable beds, or a l a a j oat baskinjr on

the door-step; and they would drive on, unconscious t h a t behind the gi een blinds above a pair of eyes watched them go, and a hungry young hear t contrasted thoir lot with its own. •

Hllngfy! There never was any thing l ike the starvation which goes on some-t imes in those shut-up farm-houses. Boys and girls feel It al ike; but the boys are less to bo pitied, for they can usually devlso means to ge t away. •

How could Brie get away? She was t he only child. Her paren ts had not marr ied young. When she was nine-teen they seemed almost elderly peo-ple. so badly does life on a bleak New England farm deal with human boinga. Her mother, a frai l l i t t le woman, grow year by year less flt for hard labor. The farm was not productive. Poverty, pinch, tho inevitable reourrenco of the same things to be done day af te r day, month after month, the same needs fol-lowed by the same f a t i g u e s - a l l these Brio had to bear; and all the whilo the child had that love and longing for the beaut i fu l which is part of the artist 's equipment, and the deprivation of which is keen suffering. [Sweet sights, sounds, s m e l l s - a l l these she craved, and could got only In such measure as her dally work enabled her to get from t h a t world of nature which Is the satis-faction of eagor hearts to whom all o t h e r pleasures are denied.

The flr wood on tho upper hi l l was t he tomple where sho worshiped. There sho wont with her Bible Sunday afternoons, with her patching and stock-ing mending on other days. There sho dreamed her dreams and prayed her prayers, and whilo there she was con-tent . But all too soon would come tho sound of tho horn blown from below, or a call from the house, "Brio, Brie, the men aro coming to supper; make haste!", and she would bo forced to hurry back to the work-a-day world.

Harder times followed. When she was Just twenty her father fell from his loaded hay wagon and fractured his thigh. There was no cure for tho hurt, and af te r six months of hopeless attend-ance he died. Brie and hor mother wore l e f t together on tho lonely farm, with the added burden of a largo bill for doc-toring and medicines, which pressed like a heavy weight on their honorable hearts .

Tho hired man, Reuben Hall , was well disposed and honest, but before Mr. Dorset 's death he had begun to talk of going West, and Brio foreboded that ho migh t not bo willing to stay with them. Mrs. Dorset, broken down by nursing and sorrow, had become an Invalid, un-able to ass i s t save in the l ightes t way. The burden was sore for one pair of young shoulders to bear. Brio kept up a brave face by day, but a t n ight hor-rors of helplessness and apprehension seized hor. The heavens seemed as brass against which hor feeble prayers beat In vain; the future was barred, as i t were, with an impassable gate.

What could she do? Sell the farm? T h a t would take time, for no ono in par-t icular wanted to buy i t If Reuben would only stay by them they might bo able to fight it out for another year, and, what with butter and eggs and the corn crop, make enough for his wages and bare living. But would Reuben stay?

Our virtues sometimes t rea t us as in-vestments do, and return a dividend when we least expect i t I t was at this hard crisis that certain good deeds of Brle's In the past stood her friend. She had always boon good to Reuben, and her sweet ways and consideration for his comfort had gradually won a pass-

into his ra ther stolid affections. Now seeing the emergency she was in, and the courage with which she met i t he could not quite find the heart to

leave the li t t le gal to make out by her-self ." Fully purposing to go, he stayed, pu t t ing off tho idea of departure from month to month, and though t rue to his idea of proper caution, he kep t his good Intentions to himself, so tha t the relief of having him there was constantly tempered by the dread lest ho might go a t any time; still i t was a relief.

So April passed, and May and June. Tho crops wore plantod, the vogotables in. Brie strained every nerve. She potted her hens and coaxed ovory possi-ble egg out of them, she studied tho taste's of tho two cows, sho maintained a bravo show of cheer for hor ailing mother, but all the time she was sick at h e a r t Every thing seemed closing in. How long coul^i sho keep i t up?

Tho balsam flrs of the hi l l grove could havo told tales in those days. They were Brio's sole confidants. Tho consolation they gave, the counsel they communicated, wore mute indeed, but none the less real to tho anxious girl who sa t beneath them, or laid hor cheek on the i r rough stems. Juno passed, and with early July came tho answer to Brio's many prayers. I t came, as an-swers to prayers often do, in a shapo of which she had never dreamed.

Miss Mary Morgan, teacher in Gram-mar School No. 8, Word Nineteen, of tho good city of Boston, came, tired out from hor wlntbr'a work, to spend a few days with Farmor Allan's wtfe, her sec-oijd Cousin,' stopped one day i t tho:3)or-sot's door, while driving, to. ask for a drink of wa'or, took a fancy to tho old homo and Brie, and tho next day came over to propose herself as a hoarder for three months.

" I can only afford to pay Seven dollars a week," she said, "but on the other hand I will try not to make much trouble, if you will take me."

Seven dollars a week; only think!" cried Brio, gUeful ly , tohor mother, af ter the bargain was completed and Miss Morgan <fone. "Doesn't i t seem like a for tune? It ' l l pay Reuben's wages, and leave ever so much over. And iho i

' I t

doesn't oai much moat, sho gays, and she l ikes baited potatoes and cream and sweet baked apples bet ter than any thing. And there's the koffplnjj-room chamber all cleaned and ready. Doesn't i t seem as if sho was sent to us, mother?" • "Your poor fa ther never felt l ike keepin ' boarders," said Mrs. Dorset " I used to kind of llko the Idea of i t bu t he wasn't wlllln'. I thought it would bo company to have one in the house, if thoy was nice folks. I t does seem as if this was tho Lord's will for us; her com-ing is so unexpected, and al l ."

Two days later Miss Morgan, with a hammock and a folding canvas chair and a t runk /ull of l ight reading, arrived, and took possession of hor now quarters. For the flrst week or two she did l i t t l e bu t rest, sleeping for hours at a tlmd tho hammock swung beneath tho shad-owing elms. Then, as the color camo back to her thin face and tho l ight to hor eyes, she began to walk a l i t t le , to sit with Brie in the flr grove, or read aloud to hor on the doorstep whilo she mended, shelled peas or picked over berries, and all life Seemed to grow easier and ploasanter for the dwellers in the solitary farm-house. The guest gave l i t t le trouble, she paid her weekly due punctually, and the steady income, small as it was, mado all tho difference in the world to Brio.

As the sumrnor went by, and she grew at homo with her now friend, sho found much relief in confiding to her the per-plexit ies of her position.

" I see," Miss Morgan said, " i t is the winter that is the puzzle. I will en-gage to come back nex t summer as I have this, and that will help along; but the t ime between now and then Is the difficulty."

"Y'es," replied Brie, " the winter the puzzle, and Reuben's money. Wo have plenty of potatoes and corn and vegetables to take us through, and there 's tho pig to kill and the chickens will lay some; If there was any way in which I could make enough for Reuben wages we could manage."

" I must think i t over," said Miss Morgan.

She pulled a long branch of the bal sam flr nearer as she spoke and burled her nose In it. I t was tho flrst week in September, and she and Brio wore sit t ing in tho hill grove.

" I love this smell so," she said. Is delicious. I t makes me dream.

Brie broke off a bough. " I shall hang It over your bod," she

said, "and you will smell i t all n ight . " So tho flr bough hung upon the wall

un t i l i t gradually yellowed and the needles began to drop.

"Why, they are as sweet as ever sweeter!" declared Brie, smelling handful which sho had swept from the floor. Then an idea camo' - to hor head

She gathered a great fagot of tho branches, and laid them to dry in tho sun on the floor of a little-used piazza When part ly dry she stripped off tho needles, stuffed with them a square cot-ton bag, and mado for tha t a cover of soft sago-groen silk, with an odd shot-pat tern over i t I t was a piece of what had been her groat grandmother 's wed ding gown.

Voita' Do you realize the situation, reader? Brie had made the first of all the many balsam pillows. I t was meant for a good-bye g i f t to Miss Morgan.

"Your cushion is the joy of my l i fe ," wrote tha t lady to her a month af te r she went home. "Every one who sees it falls in love with It. Half a dozen peo-ple have asked me how they could get one l ike i t And Brie, this has given me an idea. Why should you not make them for sale? I will send you some pre t ty silk for tho covers, and you migh t cross-stitch a l i t t le motto If you like. copy some for you. Two people havo given me orders already. They will pay four dollars apiece If you l ike to t ry ."

This suggestion was the small wodgo of tho now Industry. Brio lost no. time in making the two pillows, grand mother's gown fortunately holding out for their covers. Then came some pret-ty silk from Miss Morgan, with yellow filoselle for tho mottoes, and more orders. Brie worked busily tha t winter, for her balsam pillows had to be made In spare moments when other work permitted. The grove on tho hill was her unfai l ing treasure of supply. The thick-set twigs bent them to hor will; the upper branches seemed to her to rustle as with satisfaction at the aid they were giving. In tho spring tho old trees renewed their foliage with vigorous will, as if resolved not to balk hor In hor purpose.

Tho fir grove paid Reuben's wages t h a t winter. Miss Morgan came back the following June, and by tha t t ime balsam pillows were eHtabllshed as articles of commerce, and Brie had a magnificent offer from a recently estab-lished decorative art society for a supply of the noedlos a t three dollars per pound. I t was hard, dirty work to pre-pare such a quanti ty, but she did not mind t h a t

As I said, this was some years since. Brie no longer lives in her old home. Her mother died the third year a f te r Miss Morgan came to thom, the farm is sold and Brie Is married. She lives now on a ranch in Colorado, but she has never forgotten the flr grove, and tho memory of it is a help of ten in tho de-spondent moments tha t come a t t imes to 411 lives.

" I could not be worse off than I was then," sho says to herself. "There seemed ho help or hope anywhere. I felt as if God didn't care and did ' t hear my prayers, and y e t al l the time, there was dear Miss Morgan ooming to help us, and there wore the trees, g r e a t beau-tiful things, nodding their )mad trying to show me what could be

o i k of thom. No, I will novor bo faith-less again, nor let mynolf doubt, how ever dark th ings may look, but romem-fcor my balsam pillows, and t rust In God.—Susan Coolidge, in Young Wom-an's Magazine.

RAIN-OR-SHINE RIDING.

A W o r d o f A d v i c e t o L a d l e s F o n d of

K q u e s t r i a n Exere l . i c .

There is no need of losing a ride be-cause of rain, and there aro pleasures given by a ride in tho rain which the "fair-weather r ider" never can know— pleasures of s ight and of smell, now aspects of othorwiso perfectly familiar scenes, which aro almost liko a now cre-ation. Nor need our coldest winter weather deter any ono. A woman has decidedly the advantage over a man in winter, for her sjklrt acts tho part of a muff, atid She need never fear cold foo t In fact she nood fear no suffering from cold except in her hands. There aro no gloves which will keep them warm while they hold the bridle, but a vigor-ous beating on the horse's elastic quar-ters well behind the saddle will soon send the warm blood tingling through the flngors to thoir very tips, and af te r tha t they will give no trouble for a long time. As to oars, they will never re-sist a rub and a quick trot, and once warm they always stay so, as indeed would tho hands wore it frot for the en-forced cramped position of the fingers. I t is of great advantage here to bo mis-tress of two bridle hands instead of one. A warm double-breasted oferroat should bo worn, and then I know of no more oxhilarat ing th ing than a fast trot or a rapid gallop over the crunching white carpet, while tho loose, dry snow, flung up by tho hoofs, or dashed from the trees by the wind, flies In the face like the white foam of the sea, and every muscle of the horse responds to the t ingle of the nerves in the sharp, st inging air. Tho whole atmosphere Is cloft through and through by tho shaf t s of l ight; the bare t runks and boughs of tho trees are l ike beautiful sculptures against the blue: the pines bear at tho t ip of each branch, as i t were, a great white blossom, while tho hemlocks sway heavily under thoir snowy burden, and wo ride through all tho glory. There is another variety of pleasure in r iding through a fast-fal l ing snow-storm, when the whole air is muffled and the horse's feet can not be heard. There is abso-lute safety from slipping in tho "never-slip" shoos, even on glare ice. Tho horse knows th is as soon as ho touches his feet to the ground; and as the points In these shoes can bo replaced by sharp ones as soon as they are dulled, there is no necessity of having the horse's shoes ruthlessly pulled off every week or fort-night to be sharpened. As also tho points can be changed for blunt ones when not on the road, there is no danger of his cut t ing himself with thom in tho stable. There is absolutely no trouble with them If the groom be careful not to lot them get rusted in, and a l i t t le pains ovory day will prevent this. But, in-deed, if your groom be careless, you will bo more unfor tunate than Francis I. at Pavia, for all will bo lost—Anna C. Brackett, in Harper 's Magazine.

ENGLISH FOLK RHYMES.

S o m e T h a i . A r a S a r c a i i t l * a n d O t h e n W h i c h A r e C o m p I I m e u t a r y .

On the walls of the Newlngton Church, London, in 1793 was written a rhyma anent tho rebuilding of tho church with-out a steeplo and sell ing the bells:

P i o u s parson, p ious people. Sold t h e bel ls to build t h e s t e e p e l ; A very line trick of the Newlngton people. To sell the bells to build the steepel.

Rhymes on steeples are very common; perhaps the best known Is the one on Preston, Lancashire:

P r o u d P r e s t o n , poor people, High chu rch and low steeple.

In a somewhat similar strain is the one on Bowness-on-Wlndermero:

N e w chu rch and old steeple. P o o r t own and proud people.

Lincolnshire rhymes are very numer-ous, and a complete collection would al-most fill a book. Here are throe:

Qalnsbro ' p roud people Bui l t a new church to an old s teep le .

According to tho next : Luddtng ton poor people Bui l t a br ick chu rch to a s tone s teqple .

A q u e s t i o n i s p u t a n d a n s w e r e d t h u s :

B o s t o n ! B o s t o n ! W h a t h a s t t h o u t o boas t on? H igh s teeple , p roud people, And shoa l s t h a t souls are lost on.

The village of Ugley, Essex, supplies satirical couplet:

Ugley church , Ugley people, Ugley parson, Ugley people.

A Derbyshire rhyme refers to the in-habitants of four places as follows:

Ripley rufflans, B u t t e r l y blocks, S w a n w l c k bulldogs, A l f r e ton shacks .

Equally severe Is the following on the people of the villages between Nor1

wlch and Yarmouth: HalTerga to ha res , R e e d h a m ra t s , Southwood swine , and Cant ley ca t s , Acle asses , Moul ton mules . Bl lghton bears , and F r e e t h o r p o fools.

Of Derbyshire folks i t is said: Derbysh i r e born and Derbysh i re bred. S t rong In t h e a r m , b u t weak in tho head .

We next give two Kentish rhymes: S u t t o n for mut ton ,

K e r b y fo r beef, Sou th D a r v e for gingerbread,

D a r t f o r d fo r a thief .

—Tho work of William Duncan among tho Indians of tho Northwest coast has received such commendation recently from Bostonlans tha t Mr. Ballou's tes-timony may be added as interesting corroboration from a traveler. In his now work upon Alaska Mr. Ballou says of tho missionary: "By his Individual effort, with most miraculous success, he raised from the dep ths of barbarous l ife a law-abiding, religious.

—Tho Queen of I t a ly once tried to write a novel. I t was enthusiastically praised by the court ladies when ono day she read them a few chapters.

—Some time since a gentleman wrote to James Russell Lowell asking which were his favorites among his own books. Mr. Lowell sent back the following an-swer: " I would will ingly help you if I could; but, to bo perfect ly frank, I can ' t say that I havo any favorites.

NEWS PA TE KS IN SMALL TOWNS.

T I I K BANNER w i s h e s e v e r y o n e of i t s

readers to read carefully and prayerfully

th • following from the Traverse City Herald, at the same time remembering

that Fife Lake is a town of 1,850 inhab-

itants and Kingsley 600. The Fife Lake Sun has suspended pub-

lication,owing to lack of patronage. The Paradise Enterprise recently did the same thing. In neither case was it owing

to any other fact than that the business

of towns the size of Fife Lake and Kings-ley is entirely inadequate to the support of a newspaper. And this is not saying anything derogatory to those towns. Many of them, as in the case of the town cited, are active, energetic and fairly prosperous. But the newspapir of to day must seek a wider Held of oper-tions. It is true there are many papers published in small villages all over the state, but unless there are some peculiar-ly favorable conditions snrrouuding them, there is not a single such pnper tha t is paying its publisher, after deduct ing the "wear and tear' ' of a newspaper oltice, and a fair living, three per cent on investment. It simply can't be done. The newspaper of today cannot be run on the same basis as twenty years ago. Like all other businesses it seeks a wider field and it must be made to meet the growing demands of the people. The country press must compete, in a meas-ure, with its weighty and brainy city contemporary. The business must be run upon business principles, and there must be brain and capital to run it sue-cessfullv, just as is true of every other business. The day of successful and protitable exchange of subscription and advertising for farm produce and store accounts is past. It has become a ques-tion of cash receipts and cash payments. With a lower subscription price the coun-try press of to-day gives a score-fold better, brighter, newsier paper than it gave twenty years ago. There is no prof-it in a subscription list until it reaches into the thousands. A newspaper must look for its profits in the advertising columns. These must, of neccFiity, be very limited in number where the busi-ness men are comparatively few. This is the secret of newspaper failures in small towns, and successes in large towns. A struggling, half-supported paper, no mat ter how ably edited, cannot be a great credit to a town, even if it is a local con-venience. Certain businesses require a certain degree in volume of business to be successful. The newspaper is, in a pre-eminent degree, one of thes« busi-nesses. This fact is becoming more and more apparent every day. No state in union has a better local press than Mich-igan.but our brother editors, especlallv in the newer portions of the state, will know that we are stating truly when we say. no other profession, where the same amount of brain work and capital is required, is so poorly compensated. And this is not because the work done is not of a character to demand success, be-cause it is: not because the work is not appreciated because it is; it is simply be-cause the field is not wide enough to sup-port such a business.

The chief engineer of the War Depart

ment has decided that there ought to be a harbor of refuge near "Point Betsey,"

on the east shore of Lake Michigon, and in accordance with this opinion a bill will be introduced in Congress providing

for the building of the proposed harbor This is a piece of information that will

be received with pleasure by vessel-mas ters and seamen in general. There is not one safe harbor on the Michigan side

of Lake Michigan. Manistee. Grand Ha-ven. Ludlngton and Muskegon have har-bors which are obstructed by shifting

bars, and entrance into them during heavy gales is always problematical. Grand Haven has been a very important port for long years, hut her harbor has

never been a safe one for storm-driven craf t of heavy draught. Therefore a large vessel which becomes crippled In a heavy westerly gale with the Michigan

shore close under her lee, is in hard

straits, indeed. The announcement of the locality of

the proposed harbor of refuge as "Point Betsey," brings to the front a peculiarity

of the nomenclature of the great lakes. "Point Betsey" is Point aux Beca Seles, bnt the sailors have anglicised it as quot ed. Sevelal other striking changes in names are ascrlbable tn the teamen of the lakes. For instance, Bois Blanc Island,

near the straits of Mackinac, is common-ly known as "Boblo;" and Waugoshance as "Wobbleshanks," or " the shank."

These names are so generally used that it is not surprising that Point aux Bees

Pletore of Otr Present »nd Fnturs, M Preaented by • Gifted Literary Man

of tl»e"T. A A. RaUroad. From several exchanges.

The Toledo, Ann Arbor A Northern railroad has recently extended its line from Cadillac to Frankfort on the east shore of Lake Michigan. Frankfort is by nature one of the best harbors on the chain of lakes. The country at Frank-fort and for ten miles east is somewhat hilly and mostly covered with hard ma-ple, hemlock, elm, beech and birch tim-ber. The hills are not broken or abrupt, but covered as they are with heavy, thrif-ty timber present a picturesque beauty which will compare favorably with sights along the Hudson river. Frankfort is at this time a town of but 800 inhabitants, but with many natural advantages, and what the T. A. A. & N. M. railroad pro-poses to do in the way of putting steam-ers on the lake, etc., will make Frankfort a more attractive health resort than Pe-toskey, and a place of business both sum-mer and winter. Benzonia, a very small town, the countv seat, is situated ten miles east of Frankfort on a high hill, overlooking the county for miles and miles away. There is a green level sur-face on the lop of this magnificent hill of about one hundred and sixty acres where stands the Northern Michigan Congrega lional college, lo be enlarged by landed endowments now worth $86,000, a good new church building, six stores, two ho tels, a printing office and 80 dwellings Owing to a disagreement, the county buildings, such us they are, stand one mile east, in the country. At the foot of the hill stands a mill and others are be ing erected. Crystal lake, the most beau tlful inland sheet of water in Michigan stretches out from two miles east of Benzonia to two miles west of Frankfort along the shore of which the railroad runs for several miles. East of Benzonia, through Benzie and Wexford counties to Cadillac, tbe surface is mostly rolling but not rough. The timber is all about the same as above described. There is a roll ing tract of country about ten miles wide stretching down from Traverse through the west pari of Wexford county which is known as the grayling speckled trout brooks. To say nothing about the deli clous fish in the brooks. To say nothing about the delicious flsh in the brooks, those even sloping ravines are captivat-ing at first sight and will almost tempt the passengers to pull tbe bell rope and stop the train. There js no good reason why the young men of Michigan go west to find cheap land ami (i now country For health wealth and comfort in a new country, northwestern Michigan has no

equal.

The G-islon Novelty Works to be built in this city, Is growing to snch an extent as to give an Idea as to Its Importance. The main building Is to be 60 x 100 feet, three stories high and a basement, with engine and boiler room additions. Mr.

G. Mosser, who is drafMng the plans says It Is to be a substantial building and an ornament to the city as well as a last-ing benefit. In addition to this large building It is very probable that the com-pany will build and equip a first-class handsaw mill. Mr. Gaston reports to us that work will be commenced in this city as soon as the preliminarp arrange-ments are compleeted and Ihe weather will permit, and that work of getting out the bill stuff at Harrlette will be begun Immediately. Thus it is readily seen that Cadilac has sccured a very important enterprise and one of an unliminted

length of time.

College Chronicles. The reading class Is now studying

Longfellow's masterpiece, Evangeline. If it would not expose us to th« charge

of plagiarism, we would like to state that la grippe has a very taking way about

it. It has a wide circle of acquaintances

among the students. Rev. J. 8. Rood, of Charlevoix, one

of the rising pulpit orators of northern Michigan, has promised lo give the slu dents and young reople of this vicinity « free leclure at tbe opening of navigation We know it will be a good one.

On Tuesday. Rev. O. B. Waters gave the normal class a talk on "Elementary Instruction." and next week Rev. W. H. Moore will discuss under similar circum stances "Early Education essential to

Future Usefulness." The new organ for chapel and society

Hereford Cattle. Mr. T. 8. Miller writes from Beecher,

Illinois. The Drover's Journal of 8outh Omaha, of Decamber 18, reports that Mr

C. H. Blakeslee, of Washington county

was at the stock yards al Omaha on thai date with ninety odd head of yearling

grade Hercfords that weighed nearly

1200 pounds per bead and sold al $5400

or $60 per head for yearling. That, in the present depreased condition of the

cattle trade, is not bad. The man that

wishes to know in what way he can make money by feeding cattle should

buy Heaeford grade steers or else breed

and feed them and then all the money he

•rets is his.

Every ill and affliction will pass under the name of LaGrippe, for tho present. An interesting illustration of this fact

was given on Mitchell street, last week. The voungestboy of a certain family ar rived at the point in life where he thought it the proper thing to indulge in

bis first cigar. Ho lndulged, -bought a five cent cigar, went up the street a block or two, and sat down on a store step and smoked It down to a small stub, and then went home. Before long there was a rush for the doctor from that boy's fain

lly residence, the greater part of the night was spent by anxious parents and a sympathizing physician, in attempting to ease the lad's sufferings, and the next day the father gravely announced that

his boy had had a hard time with La Grippe last night. We'll bet he did. We've been there.—[Cadillac News and

WASII INOTON, J a n . 16. — W a l k e r

Blaine, examiner of claims in the State Department and eldest l iving son of tho Hon. James G. Blaine, Secretary of State, died suddenly and without pre-monition a t tho fami ly residence in tho old Seward mansion facing Lafayette park a t 8:20 o'clock Wednesday evening of acute pneumonia superinduced by an at tack of tho grip. There Were with him at the time of his death only his two unmarried sisters, Harriot and Mar-garet, though all tho family except Mrs. Coppinger and James 0 . Blaine, Jr. , were in the house at the time, those absent from tho city haying been hast i ly summoned hero by telegraph.

Dr. O. Lloyd Magrudor, the family physician, furnished l^st n ight tho fol-lowing s ta tement of Mr. Blaine's sick-ness: Mr. Blaine was attacked by la grippe on Friday evening last . The malady was ushered in by a chill, fol-lowed b y , high fever. Severe catarrhal symptoms, immediately at-tacked both lungs. These contin-ued through Saturday and Sun-day but in an ameliorated condition. On Monday improvement in tho lef t lung was noticed, though pneumonia coneestion was present in tho right lung. On Tuesday all of tho symptoms became aggravated, well-developed pnue-monia sjiporvenod in tho r ight lung, accompanied by high fever and deliri-um. which continued until h is death, which occurred almost without premoni-tion a t 8:20 o'clock and was due to pul-monary effusion. Mr. Blaine, while com-paratively strong, had not entirely recov-ered from the accident of last spring by which his leg was broken, and from an attack of malarial fever from which he suffered during the autumn. Dr. Magruder had in consultation with him Dr. Joseph Faher Johnson.

The news of Mr. Blalno's death quick-ly became known, and many friends callfed during the evening to express their sympathy. The President , and Mrs. Harrison called very soon af ter Mr. Blaine's death, and Vice-President and Mrs. Morton came soon afterward. Jus-tices Harlan and Gray, of the Supremo Court, most of tho members of tho Maine delegation, Representative Rit t and many others well known in ofllcial and social l i fe also called.

Secretary Blaine and family are com-pletely prostrated. This is tho third xloath in tho family in a month. Tho flrst was tha t of Mrs. Blaine's sistor, the Secretary's brother followed and now Walker Blaine. No arrangements have been made for tho funeral, but it i s understood that tho remains will bo taken to Augusta, Me.

I The State Bureau of Libor and In-dustrial Statist ics has boon engaged th^ past yea r in an investigation of the con. dition of the employes of tho fu rn i tu re manufacturing industry iu Michigan. Tho resul t of tho investigation is briefly summarized In the following from the seventh annual report of tho bureau:

Seventy-eight furni ture factories were canvassed by tho special agents of the bureau and fifty-four employed 6,913 persons. Total amount of wages paid during the fiscal year, $•2,554,865, amount-ing to $860.60 per capita for man, boy and gir l employed.

In t he seventy-eight factories the spocial agents made a personal canvassi of 5,326 men and boys and 231 girls, and tho following is the nationality of the 6,226 employes: Americans, 3,509; Hol-landers, 1,159; Swedes, 159; Germans, 738; Polanders, 76; Scotchmen, 28; Rus-sians. 23; Englishmen. 94; Canadians, 240; Fronchmon, 10; Danes, 46; Nor-wegians, 34; Austrians, 38; Irishmen, 45; Belgians, 20; Brazilians, 8; Welshmen, 1; Flnlanders, 1; Swiss, 11; not an-swered, 1; West Indies, 1; born on the ocean, 3; Bermuda Islander, 1; Isle of Man, 1, Central American. 3; Italian, 8.

Three hundred and fifty-seven foreign-ers reported tha t th(iy were not natural-ized; 531 had money when they arrived In this country, amounting to §06,108.-50; 167 had sent money to relatives or friends in the old country, amounting to 811,594.90. Of tho employes 19 years of age and over, 88 per cent, own homes. 2, ((57 take newspapers and magazines,, which expresses in some degree the in-tolllgence of the working-men.

When the employes first began work as boys in the shops or learning their trade, 5,116 had good health, 47 fair, 44 poor, and 16 did not answer tho ques-tion. Tho present s tate of health of employes Is 4,568 good, 482 fair, 207 poor, and 10 did not answer. Two hundred and thi r ty can not read, which is 4 per cen t , and 209 can not write, which is 5.

To the question: "Art*you as well off as you were five years ago?" 4,221 made reply: 3,321 said tha t they wore as well off as thoy were flve years ago, which is 70 per cent, of those answering the question; 610 said they were not as well off, which is 13 per c e n t of those an-swering tbe question, and 490 said thoy were bet ter off, which Is 11 per cent.

In Grand Rapids and Detroit 2,059 em-ployes wore asked if they were in favor of eight hours as a work day.

Secretary Ilodenpyl, of the newly-or-ganized Michigan Trus t Company of Grand Rapids, recently filed with tho State Treasurer 8100,000 in bonds and other securities, in accordance with one of tho provisions of the act of l&Bl), under which his company is or-ganized. This is the flrst company of the kind ever formed In Michigan. I t proposes to act as the guardian and administrator of tho estates of minors and others and perform similar functions tha t have heretofore been lim-ited in this State to individuals. Al-though the Idea is a novelty in Michi-gan, it has been tried with marked suc-cess in tho Eastern States. The new Michigan company will also do a general safety deposit business.

The Supreme Court has set the seal of i t s condemnatlc i upon another impor-t an t case, with tho result that many business corporations in the State will find immediate reorganization an im-perative necessity. Act 187, of tho ses-sion laws of 1875, provided for tho In-corporation of manufacturing com-panies. Act 374, of the laws of 1881, amended this law by adding a clause providing for the incorporation of mer-canti le companies. A recent decision of tho Supreme Court declares tho amendatory act Illegal and void, on the ground tha t " t h e consti tutional pro-vision tha t no law shall embrace more than ono object, which shall be ox-pressed in its t i t le , is violated if an act is so amended as to embrace a purpose outside of its t i t le and Inconsistent with tho provisions remain ing unrepealed."

Tho court also holds tha t the fact tliat tho corporations havo supposed in good fai th tha t they wore legally organized does not consti tute them corporations de facto, and tha t all members of mer-cantile corporations organized under the law of 1881 aro therefore as liable for the ent i re indebtedness of the company as though they wore simply engaged in a par tnership business.

jhe Garden City Getting the Worst of It* Grapple MCfcth La Grippe — Tho Deaths larreaae Dally — Thoutandi of School Children Kept at Home by the Dlseaie —The Epidemic Abating In the East. CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—The first throe

days of the present week show 280 deaths from all causes, which, a t the same rate for the whole week, would bo 590 deaths, or nearly 100 more than those of last week and nearly double those of an average week. Just the proportion of these tha t could In any remote way be credited to tbe epidemic called la grippe will probably never be known. Tha t a number of fatal cases which undoubtedly s tar ted with a cold and turned Into bronchitis or pneumonia are credited in the death certificates to the last-named diseases is shown by tho largo increase in deaths from pneumonia and bronchitis. The cer-tificates received on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday show ninety-eight deaths from these diseases, and i t was only in the death certificates received Tuesday that the physicians began to credit the disease to infiuenza, or la grippe, to any extent

Eleven deaths were reported yester-day from la grippe or complications arising from i t If the death rate for tho next four days is equal to the ra te of the first three days of the week the mortality rate will be largely Increased from tha t of last week, and it will bo marly double what i t is during average teeks. Not only aro tho deaths mult iplying

nery hour, but the reports of i l lness In tbe public schools are appalling. From lUtlstics furnished by Superintendent llowland i t appears tha t upward of 300 tachers aro unable to at tend to their rork by reason of the infiuenza, and over 10,000 children are unable to at tend school because of illness. The real cause of their absence from school Is un-doubtedly icfiuenza, and there aro many parents who are keeping at home the i r children who are in perfect heal th be-cause they dread the contagion tha t might be found in a school-house where 800 or 1,000 children aro crowded.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—In some portions of the country, as shown by dispatches. Influenza is decreasing in virulence, a notable exception being th is city. Here tho death ra te for tho last week w a s 4 6 . 2 5 p e r 1 ,000 , a g a i n s t 8 9 . 3 1

for tho preceding week, and 24.77 for the corresponding week of last year. Tho rate Is still abnormally large in Boston, al though showing a slight decrease. The cold wave which swept over tho West has knocked out tbe disease to a considerable e x t e n t bu t in some places new cases are reported.

HUNTINGTON, P a . , J a n . 15. — A m o n g

tho 500 victims of tho grip in this city is Hon. Joseph M. Miller; Speaker of tte Illinois House of Representatives. )lr. Miller, who is a member of the legislative committee appointed to in-spect the Eastern prisons and reforma-tories, was prostrated with the disease last week during the visi t tp the State Industrial Reformatory located here. His condition is precarious.

PITTSBURGH, P a . , J a n . 1 5 . — T h o P e n n -

Tho f re igh t crews of the Pennsylvania rail-road on tho Eastern division havo been paralyzed during the las t two weeks to such an extent tha t It has been impossible to get enough men to handle the freight with any degree of promptness. On one division where 200 conductors, freight and passenger, are regularly employed, 185 were off duty a t ono time with the grip.

INDIANAPOLIS, I n d . , J a n . 1 5 . — T h o

number of cases of influenza continues to increase here. The disease pre-vails most alarmingly among tho poorer classes, among whom since las t week there have been fifteen victims. Reports from Indiana towns indi-cate tha t the disease is spreading throughout tho State and has not been perceptibly checked by tho cold weather of the las t two days. There wero three deaths In this city a t t r ibuted directly to the disease.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—Yesterday after-noon Judge McConnell over-ruled the motion of Daniel Coughlin, Patrick O'Sullivan and Martin Burke, convicted of the murder of Dr. Cronin, for a new trial, and sentenced them to lifelong penal servitude. The motion of John P. Kunze for a new tr ial was granted. The three murderers wero taken to Jo l i e t a t 9 o'clock.

Judge Wing and Attorney Donahoe made arguments for a new tr ial before Judge McConnell yesterday. The State's Attorney did not re-ply to them. Judge McConnell in a brief speech reviewed the reasons ad-vanced by counsel for the defense In support of the motion for a new trial. His honor said he could see no cause In tho grounds set for th by tho counsel why he should interfere with the finding of the jury. He thought the t r i a l had been fair, and, upon re-viewing his rulings, he could discover no material error. He then formally overruled the motion for a new trial.

State 's Attorney Longoneckor asked t h a t sentence be Immediately pro-nounced on the four convicts. Counsel for the defense entered the customary motion In arrest of judgment, which Judge McConnell overruled.

And then, for the first t ime during th i trial , the voice's of the prisoners wer« heard In their own behalf. "Does the defendant Daniel Coughlin desire to say any th ing or glvo any reason why sent-ence should not be pronounced on him?" asked the court.

A silence that was deathl ike In Its In-tens i ty followed th is question of the c o u r t and every eye was fixed on the prisoner Couglriln as ho rose to his fee t and gt-asplng the back of his lawyer's chair said:

" Y o u r Honor, I a m Innocent . I h a v e b e e n c o n v i c t e d by p e r j u r y . "

Before tho ful l meaning of the brief speech had been grasped the judge had addressed tho prisoner O'Sullivan, and had asked if he wished to say any thing. Advancing to a vacant place between Messrs. Forrest and Wing, the convict O'Sullivan steadied himself by leaning on t he table, and began to address the cour t He said:

"If y o u r honor p l e a s e I h a v e n o t go t m u c h to say , b u t w h a t I h a v e to s a y i s t h i s . I h a v e t o p r o t e s t m y innocence boford God a n d m a n , a n d I t h i n k t h e day is no t f u r d i s t a n t w h e n I sha l l bo a c q u i t t e d of t h i s c r ime. I w a s con-v ic t ed by pre judice , by p e r j u r y , by n e w s p a p e r r epo r t and by p o p u l a r c l a m o r I wan t i t u n d e r s t o o d t h a t I a m n o t p l e a d i n g for mercy, n e i t h e r do I p l e a d for sym-p a t h y . I a m p l e a d i n g for j u s t i c e , a n d j u s t i c e I h a v o n o t had . If I a m a g u i l t y m a n , t ho S t a t e h a s no t hud j u s t i c e , a n d If I a m Innocent , I h a v o n o t h a d jus t i ce . T h a t is a l l I h a v e t o e a y . "

Before the audience had t ime to com-m e n t on the extraordinary speech by O'Sullivan, which appeared in greater contrast by reason of i ts superiority of logical argument over any th ing tha t had been said for him by his counsel, Mart in Burke had risen to his feet and was addressing the c o u r t Said he:

" I a m innocent , y o u r honor. I a l w a y s k n e w t h a t in E n g l a n d t h e y p u t p e r j u r e d w i t n e s s e s on t h e s t a n d , bu t I n e v e r t h o u g h t I t w a s done in A m e r i c a . "

Judge McConnell ordered the four prisoners to arise. They did so, and the court then pronounced sentence on them in accordance with the verdict of the jury. Patrick O'Sullivan, Daniel Cough-lin and Martin Burke wore sent to in>; prlsonment during the term of their nat-ural lives. Kunze was granted a new trial .

Mr. Forrest took an exception to the court's action In deciding the motion for a new trial without giving the t ime asked for In which to prepare his argu-ments. Tho prisoners' at torneys gave notice that an appeal to the Supreme Court would bo taken, and the court al-lowed them time In which to file their bill of exceptions.

The prisoners were taken back to jail, but a minute later Kunze was brought back a t the request of his counsel, Mr. Donohoe, who wanted to make a motion to admi t him to ball. Judge Longe-neoker opposed i t and then wanted the bail p u t at $20,000, bu t Judge McConnell fixed It a t $5,000. He would have dis-charged him, he said, If there were no new evidence against blm, but the State's Attorney had Informed him the re was some. Judge Longoneckor Intimated tha t If they let Kunze stay In jail a few days ho might conclude not to bring him to trial at all, but le t b lm go. Ho promised to lot the court and counsel know this week and accordingly no ef-fort will be mado to got Kunzo out on ball In the meantime.

T h e proper papers were made o u t and the prisoners wero taken to Jo l ie t at 9 o'clock p. m.

JOLIET, III., Jan. 15.—The train tha t carried Martin Burke, Dan Coughlin and Patrick O'Sullivan to Jol ie t drew up at tho prison station at 10:80 o'clock' Tuesday n igh t The prisoners were taken a t once to the warden's office, and Sheriff Matson formally delivered them to tha t official.

Do you suffer f rom a dull, heavy pain or oppression in the stomach shortly after eating, accompanied by a forma-tion of gas and a belching of wind? Docs your stomach become tender or painful under pressure, and feci cold, as if it contained a lump of ice, or one was being held against It? Is your

breath offensive, and do you experi-euce an ugly, bitter, slimy taste in the mouth, especially in the morning? Do you often haye heitdaches, and are you troubled with dizziness at t imes? Do you suffer f rom palpitation, or a

trembling or fluttering sensation in the region of the hear t? Do you suffer f rom constipation? Do you feel dull, languid, listless, and low-spirited, o r hypochomirical? Are you easily fa-tigued and disinclined to take exer-cise? Do you suffer f rom drowsiness af te r meals, and is your sleep unre-

freshing? If you havo all or any considerable

number of these symptoms, you are suffering from what is usually misun-derstood and taken to be dyspepsia, bu t which i i really

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. In some cases the skin becomes hot

and dry, particularly the feet and bands ; in others, again, the feet and hands are cold, and there is great heat in the body and head. Sometimes there are sharp pains, front and back, under the shoulders, and there may be chronic diarrhea. The tongue Is usual-ly coated, and often there is nausea and vomiting af te r meals. The appetite is variable, generally poor, and there is often an excessive flow of saliva. The patient suffers f rom an increased fever during the night, frequently perspires while asleep and is troubled with "hea r tbu rn . " Generally the face is flushed or the skin becomes sallow, and sometimes there Is a dry, hacking cough, while the voice is hoarse and husky.

N o t all of the foregoing symptoms aro present in every case. The more complicated the disease has become, the greater the number and diversity of symptoms. Generally the liver is torpid and many times the kidneys

more or less involved. I t is in the cure of this distressing

malady tha t Dr. Pierce's Golden Med-ical Discovery has acquired world-wide fame. No mat ter what stage the dis-

ease has reached, it will ' subdue it, if taken according to directions for a rea-sonable length of time. One or two of Dr. Pierce's Pellets taken with the " Discovery " will add to its efficacy in case the liver is very torpid and the bowels constipated.

The "Golden Medical Discovery" if the only medicine g u a r a n t e e d to benefit or cure in every case of Catarrh of the Stomach, or money paid for it will be promptly refunded. The "Dis-covery" acts specifically upon the af-fected lining membranes of the stom-ach, subduing the morbid conditions existing therein and preventing their degenerating into ulceration or possi-bly cancerous disease. I t contains no alcohol to inebriate; no sugar or syrup to ferment and fu r the r derange diges-tion. As wonderful in its curative re-sults as it Is peculiar in its chemical composition. I t stands alone—tncom-parable as a remedy for the above described, distressing and dangerous malady which afflicts so many of our people in all stations of life.
