0'; : *The National Association of Manufacturers
is taking a practical step toward
the promotion of trade between
this country and the Latin-American
republics in the initiative of a sample
warehouse at Caracas, Venezuela. According'to
Mr. Richard Dolge, a manufacturer,
who has only recently returned
from that city, the conditions
are now ripe for the development of
trade in that place.
Whatever may be the fate of Andree
-which at the time of this writing is
unknown, and may forever remain unknown,
or may be cleared up by the
next electric current that thrills an
ocean cable-it is impossible to remain
ur impressed by t-i cool daring of the
man. When he cut loose from land
and drifted out of sight beyond the
/ .--. horizon of an unknown sea, driven by
a wind that would take him he knew
not whither, he performed an act that
was a supreme test of human nerve.
The lingering visitor has often worn
out a welcome, but a more serious result
of a long stay is reported from
Cheyenne. Mrs. Nicholas visited the
Stanleys in Ogden, remained more than
a month, and when she went home the
Stanleys sent her a bill of $54 for board.
Mr. Nichols, refusing to pay, was compelled
by law to settle. Then Mrs.
Nichols horsewhipped Mr. Stanley.
With this precedent it is likely that
visits in Wyoming will be considerably
shortened. Perhaps the visiting limit
will be fixed at a few days or a weak.
The "You must come and see me"
should be better understood.

up the back, his bare knee protruded
from a ghastly rent in the left leg of his
trousers, one end of his shirt collar
was flying loose, his necktie was under
his right ear, one eye was in mourning,
and a portion of the hair of his
head had been scraped off. "You were
in error, landlord," he said, feebly.
"That was not a cyclone. It was a

worth of bicycles and parts of bicycles

June 30, 1897. The different countries

An investigator who likes to get
down to fine points has been figuring
out the difference in the oiling of
watches and locomotives. A good
watch needs oiling once in a year to
a year and a half. A locomotive oiled
in the same way would run sixty miles
an hour day and night for 648 days,
or nearly forty times the circumference
of' the earth. He says that as locomotives
have to be oiled every day
the watchmaker must have brought his
art to a much higher degree of perfection
than the man who has built the locomotive.
As a matter of fact, the
cases are not parallel. The watch is
most carefully protected from the air,
dust and foreign substances. The locomotive
runs through dirt, dust, cinders
and debris of all sorts, much of
,which, as a matter of course, works
into the machinery. If this man could
keep a locomotive in a glass case and
oil it and care for it as completely as
he does his watch, he might be able to
make some figures, but under the circumstances
'he. can seaTcely be said to' . : have proven anything.

The TTVifl Statpq r^wvmm, ,,n.c- l----Grant, Capt. Munger, arrived here
from Unalaska and brought the latest
advices from St. Michaels and surroundings.
The steamer had been at
Unalaska up to September 17 and reported
two inches of snow at St. Michael's.Mayor Ward's party had their boat
nearly completed up the Yukon and
expected to leave St. Michael's September
14. They will go no further than
Munock creek. There are lots of supplies
at Munock for the winter. There
will be a big crowd of returning miners
on the steamer Portland
and it is estimated that she
will bring three tons of gold aboard.
Capt. Peter Andrew of the schooner
Hueneme left Seattle August 15 for St.
Michael's with lumber for building
boats for the Yukon river. At 11
o'clock on the night of September 1
during a fog the Hueneme went ashore
on Unlake island, completely wrecking
herself and cargo. All on board escaped
to land by means of life lines
that sailors carried ashore by jumping
overboard and swimming ashore. Eight
days later the Captain and five men
in small boats rowed from the wreck
and started to Unalaska, after pulling
three days in an open boat, they were
picked up by the steamer Dora and
taken to Unalaska, where they were
transferred to the cutter Grant and
started for the sound the next day,
September 20. The first day out from
Unalaska two sailors, William Hood
and Otto Severn, were drowned by being
washed overboard while furling the
outer jib. Their bodies were not recovered.
Hood was from this place,
where his parents reside.All of Them.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Fire broke
out in the central power station of the
Capitol Traction company a few minutes
before 11 o'clock last night and
in thirty minutes the magnificent sixstory
structure was doomed. The
building occupied the entire block
from Pennsylvania avenue to C street
and from Thirteenth and onehalf
street to Fourteenth street.
Despite the efforts of the entire
fire department the flames
swept like wind through the
enormous building. Two hours after
the first alarm was given the huge
building was reduced to a few crumbling
walls. At one time the offices of
the Southern' railway were threatened,
but prompt work by the firemen
checked the flames.
The loss on the building is $500,000,
about $300,000 on machinery and stored
cars, while the losses sustained by the
tenants will amount to $200,000 more,
making the total damage $1,000,000.

Is for smooth north Texas stock. Yearling
calves I bought and'paid $15 and
$16 a head for. A great many cattle
arebeing shipped in from southern
Texas, but they are the old-line Texas
stock, generally little, cat-hammed fellows,
that never take on flesh that the
graded cattle of north Texas will and
never sell for as good a price. I have
thousands of acres of good grass and
plenty of hay and straw and am looking
all the time for smooth cattle to
feed. Cattle have been shipped out and
run down to such an extent that it is
safe to rest assured there will be a
good price for them for the next three
years at least. There is no reason why
the price should go down till the supply
increases. The supply of meat will
be replenished by hogs, it is true. Hogs
will produce in a little over three
months, and in a year's time they will
fill a big gap in thi meat markets of
the world and there is a very large
percentage of the population of Europe
and America that will eat pork when it
it is the cheapest meat. That will help
to hold the price of cattle to about
where it is now, but I'll tell you the
day is coming when the man in moderate
circumstances can't afford a piece
of porterhouse or tenderloin veryoften.
My advice to Texas farmers is to turn
their attention to wheat, oats, corn and
cattle for three years and they will
see more prosperity than King. Cotton
will bring them in a thousand years."SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
