-A few nights ago a large eael.

trom its powerful wings. A furious
struggle took place between !the taglt-
and the man. At last the eagli fastened
his ; beak in the calf of the man's leg.
and would hot release his victim ud til
the blows of the policeman's billy
crushed the bird's skull. The eagle
measured five feet nine and one-quuter

'? When M. Pasteur advanced his
theory that all fermentation was by or
ganisms so minute that they floated
about in tbe air, he very soon announced
that, according to his experiments,
these tmall . bodies would not : paps
through cotton. .Now, if they cannot
go through cotton, and if they are the
cause ol fermentation, cotton will' pre
vent the canned fruit from spoiling
Many - people have experimented j with
it and find it a success. The; cotton la
I'mply tied over the boiled fruit while
it is still hot, , serving to . keep the
rrms out just as sufficiently as the rub
er ring or any amount of wax.. In the
college kitchen laboratory experiments
wereV tried with five . hinds ; 'f
fruit,. inoludicg tomatoes, I and
the results were perfectly satis
factory in every case, not even a par
ticle of mold forming in the can. Iu
moat cases the cotton was simply tied
over the eanful of fruit; in some bases
therj was a piece of white paper put on
first to prevent the cotton dropping
lern and becomiog juioe-soaked.; This
seemed to be the preferable Way.; The
Cotton is taken jtut sjb it oomes off the
roll,' the thickness being about as it
unwinds, and it is tied down with strong
twine. If this should be as : successful
with all fruit canner s as here, there is
no longer need for patent fruit cans, for
any bottle with a wide neck f oitable to
receive the fruit, or any jar with glas-
ing which is perfect, to allow no en
trance of air through its walla, will be
all sufficient for keeping the fruit for
winter use. Kjmaas Industrial,

This from the Posther Lloyd is a stir
ring bit of history. It tells how the
conspirators forced Alexander, the Bul
garian, to give up his crown. Prince
Alexander awoke, and, when only halt
dressed, ioined his brother and the
other gentleren. ''What is the mat
ter?" afked the prince. His mere ap
pear an ce among the conspirators so over-
- . .. . .i i i-
awed tnem tuat tney saiuiea nun
Thereupon Grueff stepped forward and
said to the prince: "The welfare of
Bulgaria requires that you should
abdioate." The prince abruptly
declined, but .Uruftt insisted, saying
the whole srmv passionately demanded
the Prince's abdication and the protec
tion of the Ciar, whom the Prince had
so deeolv offended. Grueff pointed to
the cadets present as a proof of his as
sertion as to the feeling of the Bulgi
rian troops. I Leaning his forehead
against the window, through whioh he
oould see the troops surrounding the
palaoo, he said, with considerable emo
tion: "Well, draw up your form of
abdication and I will sign it. If I am
dese r'ed by the officers and soldiers
whem I nave led to viotory, I have
nothing further to do here. Write
whatever you lke, out quickly."
: The President was asked, since his
return to Washington, what be intended
to do with reference to the mission to
Austria. ! He said he had given the
matter but little thought, but believed
it was now time that this government
should have a representative at the
Austrian oourt He intimated that in
all probability the appoiatment would
be made within the next sixty days
perhaps sooner Tbe opinion quite gen
erally prevails in Washington that Con
gressman Tucker, of Virginia, can have
the appointment if he desiies it, and it

A TEN STRIKE.
PENNSYLVANIA'S GOVERNOR
MAKES A BOLD ATTACK.
HI ORDlRS lUrrfl INBTITUT1D AGATN8T THB
ANTHBACrri COAL POOL.
Harrisburg, Pa., Oot. 2. Governor
Pattison has taken the important step
of directing the attorney general to be
gin legal proceedings against the an-
. , i i t
tnraoiie ooai poui, vuuBuuug ui a
number of leading railroad and
coal companies, whioh have entered
into a combination recently to
restrict and regulate the production of
ooal and maintain and advance its price
The governor says: "Recently, through
the omoes of a syndicate of capitalists,
there has been a strengthening of the
anthracite coal combination, and the
olaim is now made by some of its mem
bers that they can mark up eoal pnoes
Co any figure they please, thereby sub
jecting the publio to their mercy, in
juriously and unwarrantably taxing
every fireside, and imposing upon coal
consumers financial bu dens which the
cp culatioia of some of Ibe-bc companies
have engendered. Although the State
constitution declares that no incorpo
rated oompany doing the business of a
oommon carrier shall directly prosecute
or engage in mining or manufacturing
articles for transportation over its
tracks, yet all or neatly all of
the common carriers represented in
the anthracite coal combination
are engaged directly or indirectly in the
mining of ooal. The anthracite regions
of the State sre practically under the
c ntrol of this combination. For lofig
jeriods it has kept the mines running
on three-quarter time, tnus putting
nearly 100,000 workers on what
amounted to three-quarter py. ihut
hindering competition, it has restricted
the development of our mine ral wealth.
It has advanced or depressed the price
of coal, as best suited its purposes. It
has maintained the prices of ooal sup
plied to the lines and to the oity trade,
at figures' ranging more than $1 per ton
over and above the prices at which it
sold the same article to consumers
located further from the .mines
but in a territory that did not
oome within the terms of the agreement.
It has advanced the charges for trans
portation, in face of the fact that the
net earnings of the carryingcompanie
belonging to the combination amounted
to about 19 per cent per annum of the
cost of the roads and their equipment,
and of the further fact that the charges
are higher r than they were twenty-six
years ago, though the cost of transport
ing a ton of freight does not today
amount to more than one-third cf it
cost at that time. By restricting pro
duction and by advancing prices it has
crippled vast iron interests, decreasing
the demand for anthracite coal m the
reduction of iron ores, forcing iron fur
naces out of blast and placing nearly all
the industries of eastern Pennsylvania
at the mercy of the managers of these
companies.:' The Governor also calls
attention to the trunk line
pool, whioh, he says, by its
arbitrary power holds a perpetual
menaoe over the material interests of the
country. In dosing, the G vernor says:
"Against such combinations tno indi
vidual is helpless. The commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, in creatii g the corpo
rations that are members of the anthra
cite eoal combination and of the trunk
line pool, vested them with the right of
eminent domain and other franchises ot
Dublio nature. They owe oertain
duties to their creator and one of these
is to avoid infringement upon the rights
of individuals, and of the general well
being of the State. Their interference
with.. the natural current and condition
of trade has been in violation of what is
believed to be sound publio policy and
against the best interests of the
State.- It prejudices the public
and oppresses individuals. It is
perversion of the purpose fV.r
which they were created. These facta
whioh have been rcpartea-to me ana
measurably- authenticated, I deem
of sufficient importance to reier to you
for our consideration, and for tu h ac
tion as the circumstances may warraDt. "
It is understood that attorney general
Caasidy will at once proceed against ti e
coal pool, but in whit m&nn r be fits
not vet decided. This is cont'd '.re d one
of the most important steps ever t k jn
by the State administration, and was ne t
decided upon until after very careful
consideration.
pllt l an-Dollar Mot.
Baltimore Bun, Sept. 29.
A new departure in the matter of
counterfeiting mon y was brought to
light at the United states sub-treasury
in Baltimore a few days ago. A
somewhat worn ten-dollar govern
ment bill was presented at the
cashier's window, with a request
for change, which was given
The note was sent to Vahirgton as
mutilated currency, and was returned
with the information that one si le of tbe
note was good, but tbe other Bide was a
well executed ouutert ntor the origma'.
It was found that a genuine tcn-doLUr
bill had been split, the fwe being septr
ated from the baek, a seemingly impos
sible undei taking. The original fioe
with a counterfeit back had
been used, and it is quite
likely that the genuine ba-k
with a well executed counterfeit
face has been passed in some other quar
ter. More recently another ten-dollar
"front" was prwuted at the cashier's
window, with a similar request for
ohange. The olerk at the window, sus
peoting the bill, told the man who
handed it in to wait a moment until he
oould consult Dr. Bishop, the sub
treasurer". Dr. Bishop recognised iu
the note the familiar game and said it
was worth just $5 When the clerk re
turned to the window the man had left
without waiting for hii change. The
sub-trensiry, whioh was out $5 on the
first transaction, was evened up by the
second.
