The Electrical Ilericic suggests that if
Mr. Hirsh, of Chicago, has really found
a way of mnking aluminium for fifteen
cents or less a pound, there is no reason
why the main hall of the Columbian Ex

metal, which is lighter and far more en

stone, iron or glass.

Bays the Chinese there commit more

The Empress Eugenie, now a white

the Prince Imperial, which will contain
their private letters, and the proceeds ol
whose sales she will give to the fund for

“One of the most significant signs nf
the educational times,” muses the ‘Chi
cago Jleice, ‘‘is the disappearance of the
elderly college President. Young men
ure pressing forward, and the older gen

some more easy-going place. The truth
is, the Presidency of a col lego is largely
a place for the exercise of business
shrewdness. The young men may he lest
venerable, but they make things rush.”

with shops on tho ground-floor. But
Mr. Phelps took a whole house, toro out
the shops, replaced them by kitchens and

An extraordinary thing happened in

day, chronicles the Chicago Pott. The
leading candidate for Comity Clerk died
i three o’clock in the aßertip m, which
was before tho closing oT the polls.
When the votes wcic counted it was
fund that a majority of more than five
1 1 und red was to the credit of the de

According to the Chicago Jf.-rahl, in
the Provinces on the Baltic and the No; t i
Seas the spring busbies* has been steadily
deteriorating for the last few years, and
this year it reached its lowest ebb. The
principal source of income at this time of
the year is the crap of down and eggs of
the eider duck. But the peasants have
for many years treated the bird so mer
cilessly that the eijer ducks come every
soring in lesser numbers, and this year so
few appeared that ti*- profit is infinitesi
mal. The papers and zoological socie
ties advocate the enactment of measures
to prevent the wholesale destruction of
the eider duck.
During his lecture tour in the United
States Stanley will be carried from city
in a splendid palace car now being built
for that express purpose. Flying over
the country in this luxurious way, solilo
quizes the C icaqo Hernli, is a *>mewhnt
different mode of traveling from plod
ding on foot through the dismal jungles
and over the rugged steeps of Centra!
Africa. Stanley will easily recognize
the difference and undoubtedly contrast
the comforts and luxuries of modern rail
road travel with his painful journeyings
i.n that dark continent. It is to the lat
ter, however, he owes his world-wide
fame. It is not retarded anywhere that
anyone while traveling in a palace car
has ever extended the science of geog
raphy or opened up anew continent to
the commerce and civilization of the
• rest of the world.

“It is a fact that we regret vcry .mpch
that the contract for cotton begging did

cotton bagging is not on hand in suffici

The Exchange is sending out daily from

the demand is far beyond the supply. I

THE NATIONALISTS’ TRIAL.
DILLON AND O’BRIEN ARRAIGNED IN
GREAT excitement.
A Dublin dispatch of Thursday savs *
As this was the day fixed for the trial of
Dillon and O’Brien, the streets of Tip
perary were full to overflowing with peo
ple interested in the case. Nationalists
had thronged to town from all adjacent
parts, many of them carrying the na
tional weapon, the shillalah," and prepared
to use it if provocation would arise
When the hour for the sitting of thg
court arrived, an immense crowd
had collected before the court
house. ready to rush in the mo
ment the doors were thrown open. The
authorities thereupon decided not to opeu
the doors to the general public, hut to
admit only those who were immediately
inteiested in the trial. The crowd did
not take kindly to this treatment, but
pressed forward, trying to force a way
into the courthouse. The police stoutly
resisted, charging repeatedly upon the
crowd, and using their clubs freely on
whoever happened to be in reach. Manv
of their blows took effect, but the crowd
did not yield instantly. For fully
five minutes there was a stand-up
fight between the now excited throng and
the police. Many people were huit bv
the policemen’s clubs. One man hadhis
teeth knocked down his throat. Several,
required surgical attention. Among tb;
wounded were Timothy Harrington,
member of parliament for Dublin, ° ami
Mr. Halifax. Both had their heads cut
and caine into the court with blood drip
ing over the’r coat collars and faces. At
last, however, the crowd was gradually
forced back, and the police suc
ceeded in maintaining a clear
space in front of the courthouse.
At the outset both Mr. Dillon und Mr.
O’Brien objected to being tried before
Resident Magistrate Shannon for personas
reasons. Judge Shannon refused to ad
mit the validity of their objections. He
knew of no reason why he should not go
on with the case. lie declared that he
would perforin his duty without bias!

proceeded to open the case for the prose
cution. He reviewed the circumstances,
which had led to the arrest of the nation
alists back to the time when the
plan of campaign was put in
force, which was in May, 1890,
The defendants protested against the in
troduction of evidence touching matters
that were autcrior to the dates specified
in the warrants upon which they were ar
rested After considering these protests,
the court decided that the prosecution
might produce testimony of a general
character to prove the existence of a con -
spiracy prior to the dates given in the:
warrants, but that no evidence could lit:
permitted concerning the acts of defend
ants which were done anterior to to the
dates mentioned in the warrants. Ad
journment was then announced until
Friday.
