Y. , started for the Centennial exposition In Philadelphia In 1876 , nnd has been lost to his family ever since. Ills sisters recently cot word of tilm through n pension application , and after a long search found him In Danville , Vu. He Is now ready to return to his old home. Ho makes no excuse for his strange conduct , but says he craved a wandering life. In crease In real estate valuations during his absence has made him wealthy. Yankee Ingenuity has upset an ancient cus torn In India. For centuries every rajah nnd even the minor potentates have had special men to fan them during nil tbclr making hours. These men are known as punkas nnd they have been neil paid for keeping their masters cool. Now their Job Is gone , for every rajah has bought an American electric fan , with a motor to'run It. The punkas have tried to convince the super stitious people that the fans arc worked by a llttlo dovll In the motor which turns tbe wheels. fin Launccston , Tasmania , a mother of 00 years brought her son of 72 to the Benevo lent asylum to be looked nfter. The poor lad had apparently taken up with bad com panions nnd fallen Into bad habits. The other day his speech was certainly thick , while from the odor of his clothes and breath her worst fears were aroused she'd every reason tosuspect that ho had begun smoking. The asylum superintendent took charge of the bairn and promised to lei his mother know If he misconducted him self , so she might come and correct him. Four highwaymen put out the electric lights on the outskirts of Carry , Pa. , the other night , nnd then , with drawn revolvers leisurely robbed the crowds returning from n circus a > erformanco until the coming up of the police , when they fled with their plun der. For a. while there was almost n panic men dragging women and children up the road nnd over fences , and drivers lashing their horses and starting on a wild run. Monroe Hedges , aged 106 years , of Ander son , Ind.who whipped his 80-year-old son Hiram nt Indianapolis and placed him In the hands of surgeons , who sewed bis scalp to gether and are trying to bring him to , lives in a little house in Irondale addition. He claims the distinction of being the man who drove .tho first spike on the first railway ever constructed In Indiana. His 99-year- old wife died recently. His strength and mental activity are something marvelous Hiram was one of the babies of the family and he Is 80 years old. Two remarkable children are those of Mr and Mrs. C. L. Cartmlll of Owlngsvllle , Ky They are Delia May , aged 3 , weight 18i pounds , and Willie , aged 4 , weight 210 pounds. At iblrth the elder weighed eigh pounds nnd the younger seven pounds. They grew so rapidly that people for miles came to see them. They are perfectly healthy but sleep more than 'half ' the time. Mr. nm Mrs. Cartmlll are people of ordinary size Mr. Cartmlll Is quite tall , but his weigh Is not moro than ICO pounds at any time He Is a huckster , and nlthough bo attempts to reduce his children by dieting they con tlnuo to grow despite his efforts. LAI1OR AND INDUSTRY. We make 4,000,000,000,000 cigars nnnually Chicago has three state employment offices. Our annual cheese output Is 280,000,000 pounds. America's carpet mills employ 10,70 ( women. Pcorla distilleries use 40,000 bushels o corn dally. The Brotherhood of Railroad Carmen wll hold tbclr next convention In St. Louis Tuesday , September 12. Referendum vote of the machinists now being taken Indicates that the headquarters of the national organization will be moved from Chicago to Washington , D. C. Tbe Baldwin Locomotive works , Phila delphia , shipped to foreign countries dur ing tbe last thirteen months 409 loco motives. The factory employs 6,700 men. Thirty-two shipbuilding firms have granted tbe eight-hour day to the boilermakers - makers and Iron shipbuilders on new work and tbe nine-hour day on repairs on oc work. Three years ago the steel car Industry was In Its Infancy ; two and a half years ago It employed about 1,000 bands ; today 10,000 men and boys are earning their liv ing at It. The referendum vote recently taken by the Bricklayers' Internatlonar union on the proposition to afllllnto with the American Federation of Labor is announced to have been carried. Last year's production of mineral's in tbe United Statea amounted to $709,000,000 , an Increase of nearly 10 per cent over 1897 The gold production was $65,000,000 and tbe silver yield footed up 68,000,000 ouncre , Minnesota's bureau of labor statistics has made a report on the manufacturing estab lishments of St. Paul , and gives data cf 14- 000 worklngtnen whoso conditions were In vestlgated , but 9 per cent of whom owned their own homes. The output of coke In the Connellsvllle region for the first Elx months of 1899 was greater than for any half year In the history of the district by about 600,000 tons. The detailed report for last week shows 18,146 active ovens out of 18,696. New 'texllo ' enterprises have been pro jected In smaller number the last six mouths than In tbe same period of last year. The Wool and Cotton Reporter's figures nre IK new cotton , woolen and other texlle rallf * started , ngnlnst 155 In the first half ol 1898 , and 107 In tbe last half , Tbe syndicate which recently secured con trol of nearly all tbe street railroads of Washington , D. C. , and suburbs , started In by reducing tbe wages of motormen and conductors from 20 to 16 cents per hour , a so arranging tbe running of cars that the men cannot earn more than $8.44 per week The Brooks Locomotive works of Dunkirk will turn out within a few days a locomotive for the Illinois Central railroad , farger than any other locomotive In tbe world. It wli : be eight tons heavier than the locomotives built by the Brooks works n year ago for tbo Great Northern railroad and which ore tbo largest locomotives In the worfd. This giant locomotive will be a twelve-whee ! freight with cylinder of Uenty-tbroe-lncn diameter and thirty-Inch stroke. It wll have eight drivers of fifty.seven inches diameter. The boiler will have 424 two-Inch flues , fourteen feet and eight nnd three- eighths Inches fong. The total weight of tbo engine la 218,000 pounds , nnd with tender 330,000 pounds. It will have tractive force or draw-bar pull of 62,000 pounds , or 26 per cent more than either of the monnter locomotives built for tbe Great Northern. SHORT STORIES OF THE DAY Soms Interesting Interviews on Subj'cts Before the Public Eye , OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG SOCILTV MEN Few I.cunt MnrrlitKf * In Porto Ulco I'rUp KlKlidtiK na n 1'rufltnltlu Occnpntluit Vlilnnlilr Itt-llr.t from Ciilmit IlnttlcllrlilN. "Are you a married man ? " Inquired good- natured ahd Jovial Charlie Uuthcrfoid , well- known railroad man , to a dapper looking roung gentleman who appeared at his ofllce yesterday with n letter of Introduction from ono of Huthcrford's eastern friends. "No , sir ; 4 have not yet arrived at that happy stage In my career , " was the reply. "Well , what In thunder nre you looking for a position as a stenographer for ? Do you wnnt to work , runti , or do you want a position of ease and Indolence where each day Is a continual round of pleasure from the tlmo you orleo In the morning until you seek your downy couch nt night ? " This was rattier a startling question , and the possibility of n Job , such as described by Rutherford , being vacant , caused the several bjotanders to listen Intently for further par ticulars. A traveling passenger agent who had been delineating the superior advantages of his route to a prospective passenger ex cused himself nnd edged along the counter to where ho could hear tlio story batter , A young mnn nbout town who had dropped Into the ofllce to see about a ticket to Chicago was nil attention In a minute because he had been trying to persuade himself for some tlmo that he ought to go to work , and such a position as Rutherford had briefly pictured seemed to him Just about his fctzc. Others were none the less Interested and waited for Rutherford to relight his olgar and proceed "I know a place where n young man like you can secure ready employment , where your board will be provided for at one of the swcllcst hotels In the west , where you can dress In such n way that you will be a tailor's walking model , where everything will bo paid , with plenty of spending money on the side. " The face of the yoilng man addressed w a reflection of all the others. It had shaped Itself Into an appealing look of Interroga tion nnd seemed to cry out , "Where , oh , where ? " In lieu of the power of speech which for tlio moment apparently tiad fled. "You want to know where , eh7 Why , out at Manltou. I Just returned from that place and there are nbout fifty women for every mnn nt all of the hotels. Anything of the male persuasion Is strictly In demand nnd n young fellow of good appearance , who can two-step nnd waltz , Is nway above par. They are offering good salaries for men at all the hotels there , nnd If a few are not Imported pretty soon the young girls and their maiden nunta will bo 'hiking' out for some other cllmo wliere men are more plentiful. A newspaper man was among the Inter ested auditors to Rutherford's narrative , nnd after It wns finished ho was called to one side and told , confidentially , that Rutherford was evidently putting up the tnlk for the purpose of Increasing travel over the Uock Island to Manltou and other western resorts. "There nre very few legally married people ple In Porto Rico , " remarked a returned American officer who Is staying In Omaha "How Is that ? " .he wae asked. "A mar riage license In Porto Rico costs fifty dollars lars , " said ho , "and the poor people can't pay It. So most of them llvo together with out getting married. However , they con sider th < jlr relations and obligations just as sacred as If they had taken out a fifty-dollar license and paid the priest an extra fee for tying the nuptial knot. They seem Just aa happy , too , without the old of the priest. They consider themselves man and wife In every sense , and take care of their children as well as their circumstances will permit. ' "Does prize fighting pay ? " was asked o : Tommy White , the feather-weight , when he was In to'wn the other day. "Of course i docs , or I would not .be . following lt'he re plied , "I 'was a bookkeeper In Chicago at a salary of $75 per month. Thinking that could make a great deal more money than that by entering the ring I prepared my self under a good trainer and then Jumped In. I have been very successful owing to my luck , for there Is a good leal of luck In this fighting business. I have had twelve fights so far this year and they have nottoi me an average of $400 each , making a tola of $1,800 clear money In seven'months , am booked for three more fights during the next thirty days. Prlze-flghtlng beats book keeping , and I am in the ring to stay as long as I see good money ahead. If I don' accumulate enough to retire 0 1 before be coming a 'has 'been ' , ' I can fall back on bookkeeping. " There Is a vary valuable and interesting collection of relics from the battlefields about Santiago In the ofllce of the city comp trailer In the city hall. The owner of the collection , who is also the man who gath ered the articles together , Is too mcdeat to allow his name to be used , although ho la tided the treasures himself. The collection Is doubly valuable for the reason that I brings to light several Important facts about the war hitherto entirely unnoticed If not actually unknown. For Instance , one of the relics bears the label , "Portion of a horseshoe from Genera Shatter's mule. " It will be a matter of sur prise to a. great many Americana to learn that Shorter rode a mule. lUchan Harding Davis and the other hlgh-prlcui correspondents have entirely overlookei that Important point. Another relic Is pipe strm used by a Spanish soldier. From this it can be seen that the Spanish made use of exactly the same kind of pipe sterna that are used In cob plpea In this country Some archaeologists hold that this shows that the Spanish In tbo trenches about San tiago were -very poor , while others equally eminent bellevo that It shows the Spanish saldlera already bad a weakness for Amer lean things before they surrendered and were therefore much easier "moat" than they would otherwise have bren.

It Is not known certainly whether this fragment 1 from a Spanish or an American grindstone. "Picked up after the batlo of Kl Cancy" Is the simple Inscription attached to one of thi relics. What It Is or where It came from no one knows , but nevertheless It shows how human Interest Is keenly awakened by o\en the most Insignificant objects connected or associated , even remotely , with great historical events. This llttlo piece of what ever It may be has won the right to bo precerved through the succeeding decades simply by having ben picked up nfter the battle of Kl Cnneyjnml not before. A. S. Roei , one of the widest known men nmong police officials and detectives In the country , Is paying Omaha a vlsltt Air. Ross was prominently connected with the Chicago police service for years and has held practically every position In It. During the World's fair In the summer of 1893 ho wao chief of detectives and It fell to his lot to provide all the distinguished guests of the city and the fair with escorts , either honorary or of practical necessity. He Is nn old friend of Chief of Police White. His presenttrip west Is elmply for pleasure , and not a business one. He Is very much pleased over his first visit to Oninba. Ho finds It larger thau ho had supposed , and It makes the Impression upon him of bolng a clean , healthy city. Mr. Ross' brother , Duncan Ross , the fanv oils swordsman , has been in Omaha. Ho has given up the cultivation of swordsmanship and Is now connected with a large business house In lloston. Albert V. Roe , one of the messenger boys of the New York ofllce of the Postal Telegraph company , arrived In Omaha yes terday afternoon , hot and dusty from his wheel riding alcng the hilly roafls of Iowa. Roe Is making n wheel trip from New York to San Francisco. Other men have accom plished the feat , but Roc Is tbo first ouo- armcd man to attempt the long trip. So far he has made excellent time. He left New York July 23 and from there to Chicago averaged n llttlo better than seventy-five mllea per day. From Chicago to Omaha the dally average was about sixty-five miles. Rao's speed was cut down by the hilly roads In Iowa , which he believes were the hardest stretch of his Journey so far. Roe left New York twelve days toehlnO Mr. and Mre. Davis , who are making an automobile trip over tbo same route. He caught up with and passed them In A.hree days. At Syracuse they said they would surely leave him and laughed at him a good deal , but ho Is now in Omaha and they are somewhere In Ohio. Roe's trip has been without accident of any kind except such trifling ones as punctures. He has boughl one new pair of tires since the beginning ol the trip. He Is standing the hard work ol tbo trip In excellent shape. He has not lost a pound In weight since he started. His face Is burned a dark red tan from the con stant exposure to the summer sun. FUNERAL OF LATE M , 0 , MAUL Large Conconrne of Prominent 9Ia- nncl Member * of Other Fru- teruiil Order * Take Part. The funeral of the late Michael 0. Maul was held yesterday afternoon at Masonic hall , Sixteenth and Capitol avenue. Besides the many branches of Masonry of which de ceased was a member , the- Elks , the Modern Woodmen of America and the Knights of Pythias were represented In the performance of the funeral ceremonies. Th casket was placed In the center of the large ball and around It were banked the many floral tributes of the various orders and Individual friends. Prominent Masons from Lincoln and other points in the state were present , some of them life-long friends of ithe decesaed. The service was preceded by tbo entry Into the hall of the various Masonic bodies in the full regalia of their respoctlvo ranks. A quartet sang "Lead Kindly Light , " after which James W. May. nard , past commander of Mount Cavalry commander/ , assisted by the members of th order , < weut through the funeral ritual , Commander mandor Maynard then called upon Brother M. Wulpl to pay the tribute of tbo Pythlans to their deceased brother. Brother Wulp said 'that when bo received word at Denver of the death of Brother Maul , whom be bat known Intimately for years , ho was thank ful that his mission there was accomplished so that he could hurry liomo to the funern of bis friend. He knew him to bavo been a man who held his Integrity as a thing sacred above all else. He was a man ihn had so lived that hla friends now asked why it was he had been taken away , when there wer.e otlibrs ono would expect to bo taken first. But it could only be answered that such was the way of life. Tbo quartet sang beautifully a second selection. Master iMoson W. W. Keysor then gave the principal address for the Masons Ho reviewed tbo active part the deceased bat always taken in the work of the order nnc with what uniform readiness bo bad always listened to nny demand upon bis time or sympathies , whatsoever Its nature. The speaker protested strongly against the tend ency of professional and business men of the prraent day to become so absorbed in their pursuits an to neglect to come to the ser vices of their dead friends and pay the Ina respects. This < wns not merely a , duty , I was a privilege * and however much men might accumulate of material things they would mlBB much of tbo real object of life If they failed to remember -their fellow men Michael O , Maul bad exemplified more than afinoBt any other roan who might be men tioned tbo high Ideals of manhood of the Masonic order and if In anything be fel short of that measure of the man , It wai not because be bad not tried to realize It Ha bad been kind to nil men , and to a grea many of them kinder ihon to blmSelf. In this bo bad reversed tbo too-common teach ing of tbo day , which was for men to think first of themselves. If the teachings 01 Masonry , which were based on what Cbrlai had taught of the 'brotherhood ' of man auc the fatherhood of Oed , were carried Into dally life , there would bo new xtandards In business relations and In nodal life men would meet each other with more real kind liness. In passing the speaker referred to the other fraternal orders and said that Masons did not consider Masonry the only good faith , but rearUed that all were doing a good work and that there was need for all. The various orders then filed past the casket , each laying thereupon the sprig ol green , They were followed by relatives and friends. The cortege was then formed out side the ball and proceeded to Forest Lawn cemetery , where Interment was made. Be sides the lodges a large concourse of the friends and buulness associates of the de ceased followed the remains to tbclr la l rating place. NEW HOME FOR LOST WOMEN Handsome Structure Will Soon Bo Erected in West Omaha Addition. GENERAL PLAN OF PROPOSED BUILDING A in pi < > ArrniiKriiiriitN to Mort VII Xo- fi-ltlc ttt the tiiMlliitlon mill Alno < > U < n llonuto ? lootrtl t'lillitrcn. One of the prettiest bulldlnqs that ha * been erected In Omaha In recent years Is promised In the new IJome of the Good Shepherd , for which ground has been brok en lu block S , In West Omaha addition. The building will represent n novel nnd ap propriate type of architecture and , with the uljacent grounds , It will occupy the entire tilock between Thirty-ninth and Kortlcth , and Jackson nnd Jones streets. It Is pro posed la complete the building during the present season nt a total cost of about $ inoooo. The elto that has been secured for the new homo of the Institution Is exceptionally adapted for the purpose and the finished structure will lie an attractive addition to the architectural features of that part of the city. The plans contemplate a thrce-etory and basement building. It will be con structed on the pavilion plan and In the form of n cross , while the pavilions on each of the four extremities will relieve the mo notouous effect that would otherwise be presented In n structure of such sire nnd arrangement. The entire building will b-- 270 feet long by 220 feet wide and the plans admit a simple but effective style of drri ) ration that will bo In harmony with the pur poses to which It Is to be devoted , The main front will face Fortieth street and this part of the building \\llt be known as the Administration building or convent and constitute the main department of the home. One of the other pavilions will ba occupied by the girls who nre trying to re form and nnnthcr will be devoted to the children of abandoned or neglectful parents who are hero given a homo and training that may redeem them from criminal pro clivities and make them useful citizens. ' I'Ml In II VllL-llllt Klelil. The children's department receives a clasa of children for which the state has made 110 provision. There IB a public pro vision for orphan boys and girls , and also for those whose criminal proclivities ni.ike them Impossible to control , but there Is no state Institution nt which children who are neglected or Improperly trained at home may bo cared for and surrounded with In fluences that will benefit them. The new bulldlug will provide accommodations for about 100 children and the girl's pavilion will have a capacity of fully 250 repentant women. Another pavilion will bo used for the "Magdalenes" or women who have reformed ana who wish to remain at the Institution to be trained In Industrial and household pursuits. It has been found advisable to separate this class of women from tliosa whoso reformation is not complete nnd lu either case no one outside of the sisters who have immediate charge of the Institu tion has nny knowledge of the Identity of the women who seek this asylum of rest nnd repentance. An immense dining hall will occupy the center of the building at the middle of the cross and there will also bo a largo laundry fully equipped with modern apparatus. A considerable portion of the revenue of the present institution la derived from the laundry , and in the new building there will bo ample facilities for the development of an Industry that permits the girls who are willing to work an opportunity to assist In the support of the Institution to which the ; are Indebted for their refuge. The home now has about eighty Inmates , but when the new 'building ' is completed there will be ample room to receive all who apply.
