A Kansas man killed himself be

In view of the reported duty of
$500 to be levied by the Mexican
government, which is simply a pro
hibitory duty, on every car-load of
American cattle shipped into that
country, how will the Western cattle
men like the McKinley tariff?
Two years ago the high tariff ad
vocates declared that the main idea
in the protective tariff was to ensure
good wap;es to American workmen.
0
The main idea in the McKinley tariff
seems to be to increase the cost of
goods to the American workman,
and 'let wages take care of them
selves!
VOL. XLVII.-NO. 34.
Louis Gathman, of Chicago. h,e
invented a process for keeping big
war guns cool while being fired
which will greatly prolong the use
of the gun. , Beyond the powder
chamber he places two metal cap
sules filled with carbonic acid gas,
uncter a pressure of 850 pounds to
the square inch. The explosion of
the powder releases the gas which
absorbs the heat before the metal in
the inside of the gun can be heated.
If there should be in his time an
other war in this country Thomas B.
Reed will doubtless be a great sol
dier. It was never discovered that
he had in him the elements of a
mighty warrior until quite recently.
Behind his bomb proof during the
last war he did not have a fair op
portunity to show what was in him,
and then, too, he was quite young
and not fully developed.
As the potato rot has ruined the
crop in several of the Northern
States the people up there cl feei
enthusiastic if they want to over the
McKinley tariff with its tax of
twenty-five cents a bushel on im
ported potatoes. According to Mr.
McKinley and other high tariff
boomers dear potatoes are better
than cheap potatoes; cheap potatoes
are in fact "a curse."
Johnnie Hope was released from
Sing Sing, N. Y. prison last week
after serving nine years for complic
ity in robbing a bank. After ser
ving so )ong he was consoled when
he got out with the information that
the opinion was that he was innocent,
aud that the circumstantial evidence
upon which he was convicted was
very questionable.
The number nineteen is not a
lucky one in the Cobb family of
Georgia. The Augusta Chronicle
says A. J. Cobb was defeated in a
primary for the legislature by nine
teen votes, that his father Howell
Cobb had been once beaten by ninet
teen votes and his grandfather by the
same number.
There was one place in Indiana
where Refrigerator Raum was not
wanted. He was billed to Vpeak at
Evansville last Thursday, but the
leading Republicap paper of that
town protested so strongly against
his coming on account of his"corrupt
record," that the appointment was
cancelled.

An Early Morning Iire.
A two-story frame building, owned
and occupied by John Cowan, colored,
on Eighth between Dawson and Wright
streets, was destroyed by fire about
half-past 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
Cowan saved most of his furniture. His
house was insured for $500, in Messrs.
Smith & Boatwright's agency. The
firemen had great difficulty in obtaining
water. The nearest hydrant was four
or fiye squares distant at Eighth and
Castle streets, and it took 1,900 feet of
hose to reach it.
The fire is said to have been of in
cendiary origin.

last moments. His remains will be

the various railway systems being
designated by different colors.
A Small Fire.
The fire yesterday afternoon, for
which an alarm was turned in from box
No. 42 Fifth and Orange streets was
at a house on bixth street between
Orange and Ann, occupied by J. W.
McCartney. The fire was in a closet
and its timely discovery and the prompt
ness with which it was extinguished by
the people in the house prevented any
serious damage. The Fire Department
was on the ground promptly, but its
services were not needed.

FIREMEN'S CONVENTION.
The Meeting of Chiefs of Departments to be
Held in Greensboro.
A meetingpfChiefs ofFireDepartmentS
in the State is to be held in Greensboro,
on the 10th of November next. The
Greensboro Patriot, calling attention to
the fact that the railroads throughout
the State have signified their willingness
to give a free pass to one
chief from every town in the
State to attend the meeting, says:
"The object of such a meeting can easi
ly be seen to be of immense benefit not
only to the men themselves, but it will
be felt throughout the State and by
every town sending a representative to
the conference; not only at a time of
fire, where the benefit of an exchange
of ideas will assert itself, but in the
safety felt by the community in general
-wherever a community exists which
possesses a fire chief with interest
enough in his duties as chief to take
advantage of every opportunity to bet
ter acquaint himself with his duties and
prepare himself for the hour when he
must shrink from no duty, but be ready
for any emergency; be capable of not
only meeting it, but to successfully
overcome it when met."
The city o' Wilmington will no
doubt be represented at the convention.
The Chief of its Fire Department the
best in the State could no doubt give
many valuable hints and suggestions to
his brother firemen at the convention.
