$ ' PITTSBTmQ- WEDNESDAY, MAT. 1, 1889. XL', ' " . THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, y i IN RETROSPECT. "What Has Happened Since Washington Presided. 1EYIEW OF GEEAT EVENTS, Made by the Speakers at the Big Pittsburg Mass Meeting, INTHE CENTRAL RLNK1AST NIGHT. An Attendance of Close Upon 4,000 Ladies and Gentlemen. DESCRIPTION OP THE HALL DECORATION If all the small pictures of George "Wash ington pinned to the pillars of Grand Cen tral Sink last night had been taken down and spread together they -would not have formed a square big enough to cover the immense crayon portrait of the Father of his Country on the rear wall of the halL It was a: striking decoration for the back of the stage. A frame was made for the upper part of the portrait with evergreen, which tapered away at the bot tom, in the heavy folds of two large silk flags. Bed, white and blue streamers of bunting canopied the stage. Coils of tissue paper completely hid from view the unsightly iron beams and braces of the main ceiling. The facade of the gallery was wrapped in heavy garlands ot color. In fact, the whole interior flut tered with each breath of air like the shift ing hues of a kaleidoscope. Out of so little material pretty effects had been secured. There was no banners, no mottoes, no de signs, no emblems to work npon nothing but the plain red, white and blue of the nation and the face of George "Washington. A VEET LARGE CONCOURSE. Betwien 3,000 and 4,000 people crowded the hall to take part in the mass meeting in honor ol the inauguration of President "Washington 100 years ago. The seating ar rangements were admirable. There were present people of every grade of prominence. On the platform and through the audience were noticed the following named well known gentlemen: President Holliday, ot Councils; Henry Hale, William Diehl, Judge Ewing, Dr. J. Guy McCandiess, Dr. AH, Prof. George Luckey, James Beed, Major A. J. Pentecost, B. S. P. McCall, Stephen Uollms, Kev. J. H. JVIcllyar, H. P, Jcorjte J. Luckey. James b. Younir. , George I. Hollidar.

O'Leary, Jr.; Councilman Nesbitt, Dr. Bobert Sands, Sheriff McCand less and Judge Slagle. It was 8 o'clock before Gernert and Guenthers' orchestra struck up a medley, which concluded with the soul-inspiring tune of "America." As a fitting companion for this, the Alpine Quartet sang "Flag "Without a Stain." FKOSITXENT PEOPLE PRESENT. James Hood, Chairman of the Centennial Committee, announced that Mr. H. I. Gouriev had been chosen Chairman of the ' meeting. He then read a list of 250 Vice Presidents.

Exacily seven minutes were occupied in reading this list A murmur of relief was audible all over the house when it was finished. Then the exercises were formally inaugurated with prayer by Eev. George T. Punes, D.D., pastor of the First Presbyterian-Church. Chairman Gourley delivered the opening address. In the course of his remarks he said: ' XR. H. X. GOURLEY'S SPEECH.

Herr Gustave Mueller t.o charmed the audience next with a cornet solo "Young America" that they made him reappear and play "Yankee Doodle." The intellectual giant of the occasion, President C. K. Adams, of Cornell Univer sity, of Ithaca, N. Y., was introduced by Mr. Gourley. Dr. Adams was on the pro gramme for the "Centennial Oration." He stepped to the front of the platform slowlv, and the audience had a chance to study Mm. He has a massive head, iron gray hair, beard and snort side-whiskers. Heavy gold glasses rested across his Boman nose. Dr. Adams' address was learned and ably delivered. He spoke as follows: PBESrDEXT ADAMS' SPEECH. One hundred years ago this SOth of April the crowning act was performed which put into operation the Constitution of onr Government, and to-day, wherever on the land or on the sea our flag is lilted by the winds of heaven, hearts are moved with gratitude that a new child was born into the family of nations. Within this hundred years how has civiliza tion been transformed 1 When Washington took the oath of office Watt had just produced that most wonderful ot inventions, which not only, as Lord Jeffrey said, could "draw out without breaking a thread as fine as gossamer, and lift a thip or war like a bauble in the air," but was to thrust its myriad arms into the varied activities of life, and so usurp the con trol of all the industries of the world. George Stephenson, a boy of 8, was learn ing to read at a night school, while in the day time he was assisting his father to earn a living in a colliery in jMoruiuinDeriana, iirue areaming, at mat time, of the enrious machine with which, lust 25 years later, he was to astonish the world by drawing the first tram of railway cars at the rate of four miles an hour. Arkwnght had, three vears before, been knighted by George the Third for his invention of the spinning jenney, and Compton was just reaping the first fruits of his new invention of the power loom. This series of inventions, unparalleled in the history of industry, was just ushering in a new era; and when one thinks of the myriad forms In which tbey have been applied one is tempted to say that the most dominant characteristic of recent times has been the application, the de velopment and the influence of the new discov eries that were made tbout a century ago. POLITICAL LESSONS, TOO. Indeed, wbat have not the inventions of the last hundred years accomplished? Grain is now shipped from the Mississippi and the Uanges to Liverpool for less than the cost of transportation a hundred years ago from one of the midland counties of England to London, or from the center of Massachusetts to Boston and thus it has come about that the necessities of one locality are so easily supplied from the superabundance of another that famine and want havo been thwarted; and the ajrjrreirate population of the civilized portion of the globe, which before for a thousand years had been nearly stationary, now within a hundred years has more than doubled. Then, too, electneity, that wondrous "Savage of the skies, that men have caught. And some scant use of language taught, '' has joined these other forces, not only as if to bind them all together and make each helpful to the other, but also as if to give them in some sense a consciousness of independence as or ganic parts of one stupendous whole. What has been the political lesson of a hun dred years; When the Constitution was adopted thero were many misgivings as to its permanency. It is not stranee that the views of theframers were very diverse. They had come from communities that had been settled under widely differing circumstances; and. as yet, they were not bound together by those sys tems of inter-State communications wh.ch two generations later were to weld us into one na tionality. Some of the estimates of the Con stitution and of the results of its adoption are to us as instructive as tbey are interesting. Let us transport ourselves back to the time, and for a few moments contemplate these opinions. One group of them, perhaps best represented by Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry, neither of them in the convention, held that far too creat concessions had been made by the individual States to the Federal Government, and that the States were consequently in great danger of losing their proper authority over local affairs. This danger, in the judgment of Jefferson, declared itself in several provisions of the Constitution. It was found m the au thority given to the President; in the inde pendence given to the Senate; and especially in the powers accorded to the Supreme Court. We find Jefferson using words which fall strangely on our ears at the present aay. For example, Jefferson wrote in 17S7: SOME STEANGE FEARS. Beason and experience tell us that the first mag istrate will always be re-elected. If he may he re elected. He is then an officer lor life. This once observed, It becomes of so much consequence to certain nations, to have a friend or a foe at the head of our affairs, that they will Interfere with money and with arms. A Galloman or an Anglo man will be supported by the nation he defends. Reflect on all the instances In history, ancient and modem, of elective monarchies, and say If they do not give foundation for my fears; me uumau xnperurs, me jropes, wniie iney were of any Importance, the German Emperors, till theybeame hereditary In practice, the Kings of Poland the Deys of the Ottoman dependencies. Patrick Henrj wrote: The Constitution Is said to have beautiful feat ures, but when 1 come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly rrigbtful. Among other deformities It has an awful squinting, it squints toward monarchy. Xonr Presi dent may easily become King. Where are your checks fn this Government? Your strongholds will be In the hands ef your enemies. If your American Chief be a man of ambition and abilities, bow easy Is It for him to render himself absolute. 1 be army is In his hinds, and if he be a man of address, it will be attached to him, and It will be the subject of long meditation with him to seize the first auspicious moment to accomplish 1MB UCBlU. But it would be wrong to suppose that the discontents were confined to the Democratic, or as it was then called, sometimes, the Anti Federalist, and sometimes the Bennblican. party. On the contrary, the followers of Ham ilton and Adams believed that the weaknesses of the new Constitution consisted of too little power on the part of the Federal Government in comparison with the powers reserved to the government of the respective States. EEAL MISTAKES OF THE FATHEBS. Nor were the errors of the fathers confined to criticism and denunciation. It happens,singu larly enough, that while the goddess of his tory, sitting In judgment for a hundred years on theirprediction, has sometimes convicted them of having sounded alarms that were ground less; she has also found them sometimes at fault as to those parts of the Constitution that they regarded as especially worthy of com mendation. It is a noteworthy fact, as Hamil ton once pointed out, that almost the only part of the Constitution which escaped without censure, and indeed passed with what may be called universal approval, was that provision by which the President was to be chosen bv the system of electors. This act seems to have met with universal favor. It was evervwhpm commended as a choosing of the President by putting the choice into the bands of a college ot able and independent electors, who should be cho:en by the people for the pur pose, and then, removed from the tur moil of party strife and the temptations of popular clamor, should exercise their deliberate wisdom in determining who in all the country was the fittest man for the chief magistracy of the nation. In view of a century of experience, how singular, bow almost gro tesque even, now appears this universal com mendation of the fathers. And so, as if to make It impossible that we should fall into the Oriental error of worshipping our ancestors we find that as, on the one hand, the Supreme Court, which was most vigorously denounced, has emerged from the experience of a century amid the"heartiest plaudits of the people, so, on the other, the college ot electors, whith re ceived the highest marks of approbation from the fathers, has most completely failed to per form the part alotted to it, has withered into insignificance, and is ready to be cast out into oblivion. And, while the fathers thus thought they foresaw evils which have never appeared, it a also worthy of note that tbey failed to foresee some of the most noteworthy causes of anx iety that now confronts us. We have ceased to fear that the President will usurp a crown. The ghost of a coming Cresar does not terrify us. We no longer have any anxietv lest the Supreme Court will obliterate the tate lines, and destroy local rights. We have ceased to regard it a misfortune that the Senate is one stcn more removea irom nomiiar ptnmn. ft,.. is the House of Representatives. But we are obliged to confess that other evils have arisen before us; that anxieties of another nature now confront us. UEME8IS OP H1STOBT. It cannot be said that the evils of slavery, or tho evil effecM of slavery, were not understood either by the North or the South. Moreover. it was generally believed that slavery would soon pensn oi its own mnercnt weakness, and so slavery was left to the States themselves. The cotton gin soon brought into the question the tremendous weight of great pecuniary in terests, and this proved too great a counter poise to the moral forces that seemed upper most in the convention. In how striking a man ner has been illustrated the great truth uttered by Mason that Providence punishes national sins by national calamities. How completely the Nemisis of history has done and is still do ing; its work is sadly attested by the national debt, by the pension rolls, by national ceme teries scattered over the Union, by the soldiers' monuments that mourning hearts and pious nanus usve icarcu in every osthu place Gt the land, and, as we have reason to fear, most ex pressive ana most persistent oi all, by the sad heritage, at the &ett perpUxteg peMttwl problem that is to confront the second century of our national existence. But, if the problems that had' been thrust upon tho nation by slavery were in some meas ure foreseen by the fathers, there were others, only second in importance, that wero not re vealed to their vision. A part of these have been the outcome of events and conditions that could not be foreseen. So far as they are the product of the inventions and dis coveries of the century, they are not, of course, to be charged to any lack ot acumen or of learning on the part of the father. Of this class is the so-called struggle between capital and labor. But tbere are certain others of consummate importance of such an import ance indeed as to awaken the grave appre hensions ot the most thoughtful persons every- The first of these is what may as well be called the ignorant vote. The fathers did not advocate universal suffrage. On the contrary, their traditions and their customs were con trary to such a practice. But the consequences are upon us. It were folly to shut our eyes to the fact that at the opening of the second century of our national existence, the most difficult political problem confronting the country is the question whether the Ignorant and corruptible vote can be either so elevated or purified as to make it reasonably certain that the results of our elections will not be de termined by ignorance and vice under the leadership of unscrupulous ambition. PBOBLEMS ABE OVEBCOME. The problems of to-day, then, are very differ ent from the problems presented to the fathers 100 years ago. The one great truth, the one great lesson, of the first hundred years of our national life, as it seems to me, is the unques tionable fact that tho moral and political judg ment of the people has been equal to the de mand of the great emergencies inai nave Deen pressed upon it. We have met the evih pointed out by our fathers, ana all of them, and may fairly say in no spirit of boasting, but in the soberness of an Impartial historical judgment, that we have overcome tncm. ...,. And if, as we stand on the threshold of the second century, we have new and other causes oi soucituue,. it is "ur jujim i"6o'"; member that history thus far justifies the be lief that these evils may safely be intrusted to the flexibility of our institutions, and to the In telligence and morality of our people. Mani festly our highest duty Is to see that the intelli gence and morality of the people are kept equal to this great task. If we and our successors worthily discharge the duties laid upon us, when their glad eyes shall open upon the next centennial celebration of our national exist ence, -will behold, not simply the wealth and the splendor of an unexampled material pros perity, but a land covered over with beneficent institutions, a land throhbing with all the vitality of an invigorated and enlightened civil ization, a land under the benign influence o whose spirit all jarring discords shall be re duced into harmony, a land where righteous ness shall abound, and where the aim of gov ernment shall be the protection, and the eleva tion and the happiness of all classes of man kind. your city at the celebration of the Centennial anniversary of Washington's inauguration as tho first President of the United States.

After another song by the quartet ''Song of a Thousand Years" Byron W. King, A. M., read a centennial poem, entitled "Our "Washington."" The poem, whose author is well-known in Pittsburg and vicinity, is as follows: OUB WASHINGTON. Boll back the centuries ol time. Unrold the records of the years; Recount the lofty deeds sublime "YV rought out by toll and blood and tears. For all that are and are to bel Wake Freedom's wildest, noblest strain, 'Till mountain, valley, sea and plain Give back the echoing shout apnln: , The loud, long shout of Liberty! Go, count the mighty deeds or men. The great-souled leaders ot the past; Read every scroll again, again. From earth's first hero to the last. All that God's man has thought and done. And over all the wrecKs or time. Beavkb, Pa, April 28, 1889. Dear Sir I am honored by your kind invi tation to the Washington Inaugural Centen nial, on Tuesday evening, April 30, at the rink. It would give me pleasure to be present, but I fear to promise, i have been ill for several days. Accept my thanks for your polite at tention. Kespectfully, etc, Daniel Aonbw. Other letters and telegrams were read from Postmaster General Wanamaker, ex President Hayes, Senators J. D. Cameron, J. J. Ingalls, Colonel "William P. Hubbard and others. There was more music bv the quartet and orchestra, and the benediction was pro nounced by Bev. Samuel Maxwell, D. D., rector of Trinity Episcopal Church. The audience, which for a fnll hour had shown impatience to get through with the exercises and see the fireworks, then dispersed.

Land of Our Father, Washington! ADDRESS OF S. U. TBENT, ESQ. S. TJ. Trent, Esq., delivered an address in which he said: Majestic and unequaled in human annals is the career of Washington. Calm in the midst of conspiracy; inspiring order and spirit into troops hungry and in rags; stung by ingrati tude, but betraying no anger and ever ready to forgive; strong in council; wise in policy; terri ble as a storm in battle; invincible in defeat: magnanimous in conquest; incorruptible in vir tue; and never so sublime as when he laid down his victorious sword, refused the Protectorate, and sought the peace of private life. His in deed is a character to admire and revere, a life without a stain, a fame without a flaw. In moral grandeur he rises above all others who sit in our world's congregation of glorv. God bless the memory of Washington! Glorious Father and first President of the Republic, whose hallowed flag now floats over a vast con tinent of Commonwealths, and pours aronnd us and G0,00u,000 of free people such a golden air as no millions ever breathed before; a Re public that has been reared by a century of patriotic labor and the unsparing sacrifice of the noblest people of earth for its preservation, and that now, above all its faults and scars, surpasses in excellence the sublimest concep tions ever cherished of human government. Nowhere else exists a government that offers so many blessings and privileges to its chil dren tnat uas so ennooiea man, so elevated woman, so inspired the young men with hero ism and ambition, so helped them in their aims in life, so guarded freedom of conscience, so made citizenship glorious by the expansion of intelligence; so fostered letters, the arts and sciences: so sheltered every exile, so nrotected every creed, so smoothed the road of life and given to each and all an equal chance for hap piness and homes. VICE PEESIDESra's BEGBETS. Hon. Andrew "Robertson read the follow ing letters, addressed to G. E.

April 25, 1889. ) My Dear Sir I desire to express my thanks for your kind invitation to be present at Pitts burg on the 30th of this month at your exer cises commemorative of tho Centennial of Washington's inauguration. I had already ac cepted a previous invitation to le in New York on that date, and hence am precluded from the pleasure of being with you on that important occasion. Very respectfully yours, . Charles W. Stone. Excellent Attendance Generally nt Churches Vesterdqy Morning. Pursuant to announcement, more than half a hundred churches in the two cities were opened yesterday morning for thanks giving and praise in observance ot the Cen tennial occasion. There were many inter esting services, the subjects of the ser mons for which have been heretofore pub lished; and. as they were so uniform in pa triotic terms and expression, tbere was a certain sameness about them which would lend very little variety to even the fullest reports thereof. Host noticeable for its fine music was the service at St. Peter's Cathe dral in Allegheny, where Bishop Phelan presided and preached. The services of the Jewish congregations were also specially noticeable, both for the beauty and fervor that characterized them; those at the Eighth Street Temple, of course, taking the lead in the morning. There was but one afternoon service of a religious character. At the congregation B'nai Israel, corner of Grant street and Third avenue, imposing centennary observ ances were neia. At 4 p. m. the exercises opened with an interesting address by Eabbi .Ziewietz in Hebrew, giving an account of "Washington's life and influence. This was followed by a solemn prayer in iront of the i ark, the whole congregation standing, for ithe repose of the soul ot Washington. Next came an address in English bv Mr. J. Kornblum, who pronounced the Father oi his Country the Messiah of Judaism the first to proclaim freedom to all peoples.

Mwrsn Pittsburgwas in a "rudimentary state a small military post on the outskirts of civ ilizationwhen "Washington was inaugu rated President of a small strip oi settled country on the Atlantio coast in 1789. The principal business of the citizens of that day was to keep out of the way of the Indians and produce enough hog and hominy to keep body and soul together. For mutual protection against the savages they huddled around the fort at what is now known as the Point. There they built their log cabins, and there they lived, gun in hand, during the day and keepinir one eye open when they slept at night, so as to be always ready to repel attacks by the redskins. They had no markets at which to pur chase the delicacies of the season, includ ing strawberries at 50 cents a quart and Ber muda potatoes at the rate of ?10 a bushel. For meat, they depended mttinly upon the fruits of the chase, game being abundant. BEAR, DEER AND TUEKXYS abounded in the forest on both sides of the river where Allegheny City and the South side boroughs now stand, while water fowl reveled in a pond or lake with marshy bor ders, the deepest part of which was not far from the postoffice building. The few acres they cultivated lay between what is now "Wood street and the fort; but their crops ere neither varied nor extens ive, consisting of corn. Tjotatnes and henns. They knew nothing about tomatoes at 25 cents apiece, and wheaten bread existed only in their traditions. Corn bread and bear meat were the staple articles of food. Coffee, sugar and salt were luxuries almost beyond their reach. Occasionally small quantities of these delicacies were brought over the mountains on the backs of horses, which were the express trains of that period. They had no real estate boom, but lauds were held iu common. As they were not an imaginative people, it is reasonable to suppose that none of them ever dreamed that within less than a hundred years the land upon which they lived, or which thev cultivated, would be worth $3,000 to J5.000 a front foot This was their only serious mistake. And so, good, brave men that they were, they plodded along, building up the settlement, which soon became one of the principal bulwarEs of civilization, hurl ing back the Indian hordes that came up against it, and securing reasonable protec tion to property and Jile. This was the be ginning of Pittsburg. "WORK WELL DONE. It would be a violent presumption to as sert that those bold pioneers knew they were laying the foundations of one of the greatest cities of modern times. It would be more reasonable to believe that they were so en grossed with their struggles for subsistence tnat they had no time to think of the fu ture, leaving their work to stand or fall, to -urvive or perish, according as coming gen erations would esteem it good or bad. It was a clear case of "building better than they knew." Modern Pittsburg the outgrowth of the little settlement at the Point is too well known all oyer the world to require more uu . oMiug uuuvc iu buis connection. Slowly, step by step, not with a rush and a hurrah, but calmly and deliberately,she has grown in population and importance, until to-day she stands among the foremost of the industrial and commercial cities of the world. A few figures will make the state mentclearer. She has"?132,478,O0O of capi tal invested in manufacturing enterprises, giving employment to over 100,000 persons. Herdrygoods trade amounts to $20,000,000 annually, hardware to $2,000,000. drugs to $4,000,000, wholesale groceries to $24,000, 000, produce and flour, $15,000,000; boot? and shoes, $4,000,000; tanneries, $4,000,000; furniture, $2,000,000; clothing, $3,000,000; tobacco and cigars,$2,OOO,O0O; pork packing, $3,000,000; brick. 83.000.000. These are only a small part of her great and varied in dustries. OTHEB GREAT THINGS. Her railroads carrv 18.000.000 tons of loeal freight a year. She has the greatest steel rail mill in the world. She turns out one half of the present gross product in the United States, and one-foutth of the win dow glass. She is the center of the coke prodnclng industry of the country. About 10,000,000 tons of coal are mined annually in the vicinity of the city. One-fifth of the iron and steel output bf the country is credited to Pittsburg. She is the only city in the world having au inexhaustible sup ply of natural gas. This wonderful growth this almost phenomenal expansion has not exhausted the energies of the grand old city. She is still growing, still reaching out, still seek ing new fields of conquest. Victories won only sharpen her appetite for greater achievements. Her population of 250,000 will soon swell to 600000. Her past is se cure; her future remains with her citizens. By a liberal and enlightened policy thev can complete the work began by the hardy pioneers, keeps her abreast of the enlighten ing influences of the age, and add immeas urably to her glory and power as a factor in the world's greatest and best impulses and movements. To do less would be to fail in the discharge of an imperative duty. TWO COWBOY DETECTIVES Take an Alleged Murderer From Arkassas to Boston for a Kownrd. rBFECIAr-XEI-KOItAU TO THST DISPATCH. Boston, April 30, Tlje interest in the "White murder? case at Braintree was re awakened last night when two specimens of the genus cowboy strode into the police station on Division street, after midnight, dragging a heavily manacled wretch whom tbey claim was the murderer of the aged woman. They had come all the way irom Arkansas to claim the $1,000 reward which had been offered for the arrest and convic tion of the murderer. They claimed to be detectives. .Each was dressed in typical cowboy style, with high-topped boots, som brero and cartridge belt with a "gun" on each side. They gave the names of Alson Tams and Geo. "W. Chapman. They said their prisoner was John Thompson, the much-wanted murderer. He did not say anything until the Boston police took charge of him, and then he created a sensa tion by telling how the Arkansas police had forced a confession from him. . He denied that he was John Thompson, and offered proof that he was Giduey B. Green. He asserts that four men dragged him into the woods in Jackson county, Arkansas, tied a rope around his neck, strung him up until his toes barely touched the ground, and threatened to hang-him un less ne confessed to the murder of Miss 'White in the distant State of Massachu setts. To save his life he confessed, so he now says. The confession is so full of state ments utterlyat variance with the facts that it was at once decided by the Boston police at the man is either a lunatic or his captors were easily dnped. The prisoner was taken to Quincy, and was formally held to await identification. Intimate friends of murderer Thompson sav this is another' man. A FATHER'S IIE'EOIC DEED. A Real Estate TtbhmcHob. J.

Montreal, Auril 30. This afternoon 12 residents of the little village of St. Clothilde, one Of whom, Sancrede St. Ours, was accom panied by Marie, his 12-year-old dauehter, left in a small boat to cross the Nicolet river to Ste. Anne. It was raining and a thick to; bung on the river. When in the middle of the river, which is tbere a mile and a half wide, a'sndden squall overtook the boar, which was greatly overloaded, and she began to leak. As the squall increased the men tried to put back to St. Clothilde, but in turnine the boat capsized and all were thrown into the water. Three of tho men, who were cood swimmers, immediately struck out for the shore, while the remaining men clung to the overturned boat. St. Ours, who, being unable to swim, was holdine with one band, while with the other he supported his little daughter. Seeing. that the boat was un able to float he left it, and clung to a couple of boards which had been on the bottom. The f o prevented the accident from beinc seen on shore, and It was not nritil the swimmers reached it that a boat put off to the rescue. By the time it reached the overturned boat Jean Mariot and Ulricb Lalonde had dropped off and disappeared. The others were so ex hausted that tberecuers drained them Into theirboat before going to the assistance of St, Ours and bis child, who by this time had drifted about 50 vards awar. One of the boards which, formed their frail support was seen to drift away, and It was also noticed that the remaining one was insufficient to float both. It was then that the father's love and heroism Showed it self. Seeing, no doubt, that help could not arrive in time to save both, he gave np his only hope. He took a handkerchief from his neck and bound his child's arm to the board, and then sank to rise no more. Almost the next instant the insensible childboundto the board was safe in the boat of the rescuers.

It was burning very slowly at tho time ot the discovery, Juno ' no serious danger, was apprehended. .Efforts were made to smother it. but without success. It now envelopes the whole mine, uncontrolled and possibly uncontrollable. Two of the main shafts are already fully consumed, and it is the opinion of experi enced mining men that the fire will be ex tinguished only when it has done its work by consuming everything in its way. The probable loss cannot be estimated at pres ent, but will be very large. The Aurora mine is one of "The Big Four" of the Gogebic range, and is at present owned by Cleveland parties.
