specimen of a very old house, which
for some reason not inquired into has
withstood the march of progress and
improvement.
But even in the view of the build-
ing from across Vesey street there is
nothing to suggest its curious history,
though in itself it is a queer enough
object to arrest attention and a ques-
tion. Looking down the considerable
stretch of paved street to the present
boundary of the waters of the Hud-
son, it is difficult to realize that they
once washed this building's lower
walls.
In the cellar of the old lighthouse,
which is only four feet deep, the
New York.—A queer old building
stands at Vesey and Greenwich
streets in this city. It was standing
there 140 years ago and nc one knows
how many years earlier it was built.
It was then and for two generations
afterward a lighthouse to guide river
craft at night. It then stood alone on j
a rock out in the Hudson, sfparated j
from the shore by a moat. Now it is I
two blocks from the river.
In 1850 this ancient lighthouse was 1
the scene of a notable murder. A j
beautiful young woman was killed by j
the lighthouse keeper and her body j
secreted in the shallow cellar under !
the house, where the skeleton was
found many years later.
To-day this strange little stons ‘
hovel, with its darkened shops under i
the shadows of the elevated railroad, I
is in the line of march of the sky-
scrapers.
When the revolutionary war broke I
out, in 1776, old St. Paul's church. *
now its sole surviving companion of j
those days in this part of the city,
was separated from the river light-
house by a few straggling low-walled j
dwellings skirting the shore of the
Hudson.

the center of the house above this
roof rose, in former times, the wooden
lantern which held the huge oil lamp
that sent its rays along and across
the river. It is built of rough stone,
crudely laid and patched in places
displaced.
It was in a niche in this cellar that
the bones of a woman, supposed to
have been Anna Jordan, were found
25 years ago. And this discovery is
regarded as clearing away the last
with brick. Large cracks, due to the vestige of t'ne mystery of this beanti-
sinking and bulging of the walls, have ful girl's disappearance,

daily and see in this relic of the days
when New York paid allegiance to

Wonderful Monastery.
At Solovetsk. in the Russian gov-
ernment of Archangel, is the most
remarkable monastery in the world
The monastery of Solovetsk is in-
closed on every side by a wall of
granite bowlders, which measures
nearly a mile in circumference. The
monastery itself is very strongly for-
tified. being supported by round and
square towers about 30 feet in height;
with walls 20 feet in thickness. The
monastery consists in reality of six
ihurches. which a.e completely filled
I with statues of all kinds and precious
stones. Upon the walls and the tow-
; ers surrounding these churches are
mount'd huge guns, which were in
use in the time of the Crimean war.

Chicago—A hurricane of unusual
violence, which lake mariners say is
the fiercest in 26 years, is sweeping
over the upper lake region and is
now bearing down upon Chicago,
leaving death and destruction in its
path. The gale has already claimed
eight lives, caused an immense amount
of damage to shipping, and fears are
growing momentarily for the safety of
lives and craft known to be at the
mercy of waves.
The eight lives known to hare been
lost at an early hour this morning
W'ere sacrificed in the Upper Huron
territory by the sinking of the steamer
Barth with the Wayne and Foster in
tow. The Barth and tow were beached
near Red Ridge. Mich. Six members
of the crewr are missing.
The gale raged southward across
Huron Bay all Tuesday and Tuesday
night. The steamer Pasadena was
caught on a lee shore, and reports re-
ceived at Houghton, Mich., are to the
effect taat the steamer went down
with all on board.
The barges Wayne and Foster, in
tow of tne steamer Barth, were caught
near Fourteen-Mile Point and cut
loose. The barges are said to have
be»n beached.
The barge Foster w’as totally
wrecked in the heavy surf.
Capt. David Carrier of the Borth,
who reacaed Calumet in safety, said
the present storm is the worst he has
seen on Lake Michigan in more than
30 years.
The force of the gale began to be
felt about Cnicago early in the day.
The Goodrich steamers to Grand Rap-
ids, Mich., were forced to tie up and
cease their trips, the skippers fearing
to brave the storm. The wind blew
from the west at 36 miles an hour.
The life-saving crews about the
lakes are in readiness for sudden
calls.
AROUSES STORM OF PROTEST.
English Address of Sympathy May
Not Be Presented.
London—The approaching visit of a
British delegation to St. Petersburg,
for the purpose of presenting an
address of sympathy to Prof.
Serge Mouromtseff, of Moscow,
who wai president of the low-
er house of the late parliament, is
arousing a storm of indignation and
protest, both here and in St. Peters-
burg, and strong influences are be-
ing brought to bear to induce the
deputation to abandon its visit.
W. T. Stead has issued an appeal
that the delegation stay at home, as
the visit would result in violence
and political complications.
BEFORE U. S. SUPREME COURT.
Argument in the Case of Moyer, Hay-
wood and Pettibone.
Washington, D. C.—The supreme
court of the United States heard ar-
gument in the cases of Charles B.
Moyer, W. D. Haywood and George
A. Pettibone, officers and members of
u.e Western Federation of Miners,
who are in prison in Canon county,
Idaho, under a charge of murdering
former Gov. Steunenoerg of tha<
state. The case comes to this court
on an appeal from the decision of the
Idaho federal court refusing to grant
writs of habeas corpus.
Passenger Train Hurled from Track.
Chattanooga, Tenn.—In a wreck
on the Western & Atlantic rail-
road. two miles north of Dalton, the
north-bound passenger train was
hurled from the track by a broken
axle on the engine. Fireman Will A.
Hughes, of Atlanta, was killed, and
Engineer C. A. Bennett, of Atlanta,
was badly injured. The passengers
were shaken up, but none of them was
hurt.
Fire at Cape May Point.
Cape May Point, N. J.—Fire,
which originated in the Packham cot-
tage, destroyed $50,000 worth of prop-
erty. The flames spread quickly from
the Packham cottage to the Cape
house, and thence to a number of cot-
tages, and thence to the public school
building, which, however, was only
slightly damaged.

It takes a heap of feed to make up

and the comfort they yield is an im-
portant item.
Still the

warehouses grow and
It is a trifling man who worries
over trifles, but there are a lot if
us who never see the greater things cf
this life until they have gone by.
Take a hike around the place right
now and see how many more fruit
trees you need than you have already
ordered. Don't he a fool and try to
get some of those new' sorts of
fruits that grow both pancakes an 11
molasses, but buy some of the old
standards that you can depend on for
a crop. Dewberries never fail in this
section and they will grow in any sort
of soil, from the black wraxv to a sand
bank, and with half a chance they
will bear big crops. Get busy in the
fruit department.
In all the walks of life there are
frauds and hypocrites, and if some
happen to get into the Union, and at
times get into prominent places, it is
only a natural occurrence. This fact
is not to he held up against the Union.
It is a thing to be remedied by cast-
ing out the unworthy. Kill the nox-
ious weeds in this field just the same
as you do in your cotton patch.
Now is the time in the year to get
busy enlarging the Union in your
neighborhood. The evenings are get-
ting long enough now to revive that
debating club. There is nothing like
a debating club to make fellows dig
after facts in the case. Get a good
debating club started and make these
long winter evenings a regular school
time for all the young men of the com-
munity.
The Printers’ Union is winning out
in its fight against the strongest anti-
union organization ever eected in this
country; and it is ail because print-
ers have trustworthy officials, and the
printers trust them, and the fight goes
■cn from day to day, much of the time
showing no progress at all on the
surface. Keeping everlastingly at 't j
with one method and one final object '
is the secret of the printers’ success.
Is there a lesson in this for the farm- j
or? There ought to be—CO-OPERA-
TION, CONFIDENCE, PATIENCE
and PERSISTENCE!
The Farmers’ Union doesn't shift
and vary its position to suit the plans
and schemes of speculators. It does
not declare for eleven cents minimum
at one time only to threaten to demor-
alize the market by retreating to ten
cents shortly thereafter, and then a
little later make another somersault
in the air and declare for fifteen cents.
It believes that the farmer is entitle!
to at least eleven cents for his cot-
ton. Isn’t that right.—Mercury Pass-
word.
In the writer's family the fruit hill
is considerably larger than the mea*
bill, and there is no doctor's bill. That
looks like a good text for those who
have a spot on which they could plant
some trees or berries. With a family
of five, we have put up as many as
250 half-gallon jars of peaches and j
berries year after year, and then buy i
apples all winter besides. The fruit
eaten is about evenly divided between
raw and cooked. Or course the doctor
needs business, but the man that gives
the doctor the largest business is the
worst off.
The chump that is selling cotton n
the streets at any old price somebody
offers him deserves about what is com-
ing to him, and if w'ere the only suf-
ferer, all would be well. He isn’t the
only sufferer, for his demoralization
cf the market hurts everybody. There
is hardly an act that he can perform
that has not some bearing on some-
body else. Good missionary work can
be done by every Union man along
this line, and his preaching will be a
whole lot more effective if he will fol-
low it up with a perfect practice. The
Union man has set the price at eleven
cents, and the man who fails to stand
to it is not a Union man. BUILD
WAREHOUSES!
A livelier interest should be taken
in the management and provision for j
public schools than the Unions have j
heretofore taken. There is great need
of reform in many districts; some are
entitled to better teachers, while a’l
are entitled to better attendance. It
is true that it takes a mighty slight
provocation to induce a holiday, but
it is a deuced sight easier to make pu-
pil holidays than teacher holidays. Ev-
ery parent and'guardian should have
a personal acquaintance with the per-
son who is to teach their children or '
wards; and, sorry to have to say it,
some parents and guardians should
get on better terms of acquaintance
with their children and wards them-
selves. Here is where the law of
co-operation comes in good and strong.
The years of time and the hundreds
of dollars spent in school effort should
generally show better results, and it
is dead easy to get better results. A
co-operation between teacher, pupil
and parent will do the work.
Now. that the fall is fully upon us,
we again ask if the tools, implements
and vehicles of the place are all under
a protecting shed. A ten-dollar shed
will make a seventy-five-dollar wagon
last three times as long as it would if
left out of doors. There is hardy a
farmer in all the South that could
fairly wear out a good wagon from
usual use on the farm, but the fact
that many farmers have to buy new
wagons every three or four years
shows that they go somewhere, and
that somewhere is to the tooth of
the destroying elements. It is an
honest fact that no man has a right
to let valuable tools and vehicles
stand out in the weather till they are
ruined.
A country paper in Utah advertises
a pure bred Jersey calf, of the “mas-
culine gender.” There are some efforts
at modesty that attract more attention
than to call things by their common
names.
MERCURY MUSINGS.
The men who operate large farms
and depend on hired help to do the
work are now finding it hard to get
men who will stand for the long hours
and low wages that farm hanJs must
receive to make such farming pay.
Now, of all times, the officers of
Local and County Unions should be
active and alert. Everything depends
on vigorous action by Union men now.
Our enemies are exerting themselves
to the utmost to dishearten and dis-
concert us.
Do you assent to the doctrine that
the producers is entitled to the full
value of what he produces? If you do
not, then the Farmers’ Union doesn't
need you.
It seems probable that the Co-opera-
tive Congress called to meet at To-
peka, October 22, will be well attend-
ed, and that men will be present from i
almost every State in the West, the
North and the South.
THE CHICKEN FOR THE FARM.
In selecting a breed of chickens for
the farm to add to its appearance,
also bring in a nice profit, there are
a few points we must consider.
First, laying qualities. Second,
quick grow th. Third, reasonable hardi-
ness. Fourth, nice appearance.
The farmer and his family are en-
titled to the best the farm can pro-
duce. In everything we get the fresh-
est and choicest products of the soil.
FARMERS UNION AT STATE FAIR
OF TEXAS.
President E. A. Calvin will be mas-

A number of distinguished speakers
have been invited to make addresses
on this occasion, as follows:
Thos. M. Campbell, of Palestine.—
“The needs of the State Board of Agri-
culture.”
N. A. Shaw of Texarkana.—“The
Growth of the Cotton Industry.”
Green B. Patterson of Oklahoma—
“The Necessity of Organization and

ers' Union.”
An immense crowd is expected. Be

Senibrich, will also give a selected
' concert in the Auditorium, and orches-
tras and bands will discourse popular
airs.

ordinary plants. The^e shot-Il he

CIBSON BACK IN EDNA.
The Charge of Murder Against Hlr»
Dismised, But He Is Held.
San Antonio. Tex., Oct 13—Monk
Gibson, charged at Edna ae an accom-
plice in the murder of the Conditt
family, was taken bad: to that plao*
for trial lust night in the custody at
Sheriff Egg of Jackson county ami
Capt. McDonald of the rangers. Egg
and McDonald came to San Antonio
yesterday and had a conference with
District Attorney Baker. After the
latter had conferred with Governor
Lanham over the long distance tele-
phone, it .was agreed that the indict-
ments .pending here, charging Gibeoa
aa principal in the murder, would be
dismissed and that lie would be sent
back bo Edna for rial. In moving be
dismissal of lie ca><* District Attorney
Baker said lie did so because be did
not believe that there was evidence
enough to convict Gibson as a princi-
pal, but sufficient to convict him ae
an accomplice. Sheriff Egg and Ca.pt
McDonald 'both assured Governor I.an-
haan and District Attorney Baker Chat
Gibson would be in no danger of <mot>
violence if sent liack to Edna for trial,
as the coaiumuri.ty was now perfectly
calm. To make assurance do mid v sure.
Captain McDonald and two rangers
•will remain at the Edna jail until af-
ter the trial.
Giihson was in the court room yester.
day afternoon, accompanied .by hie
father and mother. He has grown
very much since die .has been in jail
and is fat and in the beet of health.
He is now a man in figure.

District Jutge W ilson of Jackson coun-
ty 6ays: “I am of Che opinion Chet
the trial of Felix Powell as well m
that of Monk Gibson can be greatly fa-
cilitated toy iiavu.g Gibson here in coo-
neetion with Felix Powell, as receat
developments in the causes leave very
materially changed the entire aspect
of the cases and feeling that justice
