Is this sort of weather it is pleasant to read the prediction of thi optimistic scientist who predicts in the Kantias City Star that within a couple of years machines will be perfected which will make it possible for the average well- to-do family to make its own ice and have plenty of it. "For a long time past," says this scientist, "a number of the cleverest inventors in the country have been trying to devise a small, compact ice machine, with a capacity of from 50 to 500 pounds a day, that catrtbe operated by any domestic servant, and they have made sufficient progress to bring success clearly in view. It is an interesting fact that nearly all the remarkable improvements which have been made iu large commercial daring the last two or three years have suggested themselves in this, tireless search for a practical household Justice Ibr Hobcon. An attempt by Rev. Dr.

W. E. Barton to revive the fame of Hobson, the of tbe Merrimac, is warmly commended by the Washington Post. as we please about the wisdom of sinking the Merrimao in the channel at Santiago," says the Post. "Admit, as we most, that the undertaking, if successful, -would have multiplied many fold the difficulties of the siege; dismiss -t he act itself as a mistaken move on Ad mirai Sampson's part, there yet no donbt of the bravery of Hobson and his comrades in exposing themselves to the fire of the enemy's guns." This matter was brought np by Rev.

Dr. Barton in an address at Three Oaks, last week, in which he called at tention to the great contrast between the applause of Hobson after his famous and heroic feat at Santiago, and the ridicule which followed him to the Philippines after he lost his head and committed the offences which torned praise into scorn. Toat scorn, Docton Barton thought. a more severe punishment than the offence deserved. Withoat excusing Habson's folly he asked for him simple justice He held that Hobson had been "sacrificed to the hysteria of the nation;" that he had been made to "chiefly for the sins of others," and that the people, by their condact toward him, had shown how easy it is to make perilous the home-coming of a hero.

"Henceforth," the orator added, "the caaqneror has leas to fear from enemies oathe field than from ois at faro? He therefore pleaded that aboold "forget the hoar of folly and remember the hoar of courage." This appeal is seconded by Washington Port.

COUKTESY OK JAPAN. From the Pittsburc Dispatch. An incident in connection with the Oregon affair is worthy of more than casual attention. That is the neighborly good offices of Japan. LThe government of that country not only ordered a naval vessel to go to the assistance of the Oregon, but has offered the use of either of two governmaut docks in which to make the necessary reps'rs.

This kindly interest most be appre-'a- ted as an evidence of the cordial sen: i- ment of our nearest neighbors on tbe Pacific. It is not more than we might do for Japan, but it is all we could de- siro. even though the Oregon is to be docked in a commercial dry dock at Nagasaki. THE CXTBAN TEACHERS. From the Philadelphia Kecord.

The last contingent of Cuban teachers, who to the number of 2000 are to attend a Hummer school at Harford, arrived at Boston in time to observe with wonder the energetic celebration of the Fourth of July; and the lectures for their benefit began yesterday at Cambridge. Great credit is dne to the originators of the summer school idea, at well as to the officers and faculty of Harvntd. In no other way would it be postible in a short time to instill an adequate conception of American institutions into the minds of those whose important work it is to educate Cuba's future citizens. The self-sacrificing instructors who, without thought of peconiary reward, have offered to forego their vacations in order to lecture before the Cuban teachers are doing a genuine patriotic work. While it will be difficult to accomplish mnch in tae way of the direct acquirement cf knowledge in three months, still the Cuban teachers, being persons of more than average intelligence, will doubtless make use of the opportunity for observing American methods and studying American customs to an extent that will have an appreciably beneficial influence when they shall return to their homes--an effect which, perhaps, will render the government of the island by the natives or under the present system an easier task, since the objects sought to be attained will be better understood.

The Scribe a Few The vegetable lice was well repre- sented on market this morning and there was quite a variety of other edibles to be obtained at almost any price. Any one that is not hard to please, is not long in finding enough to msket these mornings of the choicest Line at that. There hasn't been much changd in the atmosphere daring the week, and the thermometer has been neariug the- hundred mark quite often. The little shower of Thursday had a tendency to make a alight change for short while, which was very agreeable to all.

The continued dry weather and the scorching rays of Old Sol is being felt to a great extent by vegetation. In face a good settled raiu would have a marvelous ettect upon growing crops. Whilst corn sad potatoes are looking very nice, rain is needed to help them on to maturity. Harvesting is a thing of the past for another year. Threshing will now be the order of the day with many of the farmers, whilst some have completed and know in reality whether they have a crop worth talking about or not.

Tbe anglers have been hard at it and such strings of fish yon never heard of. They were busier than ever on the Fourth and some pretty fine strings were brought home. My old friend Olint.

BALTIXOKK, July 6. Boots and situation is practically unchanged. The present warm weather has been favorable to the sale of oxfords and the low shoes both for men and women, and some of the factories are running on duplicate orders received during the week, but not enough baiuca rin thair toriea on fall time. It is thought that business will now resume an active tone after the holiday, and manufacturers are now looking forward to some good trading. improvement of any consequence.

Trading in all lines continues moderate, with buyers still showing hesitation to bay for future wants, and all effected in small lots at a time. The market is in an unsettled condition, and prices en some grades are weak and concessions obtainable. show no farther depreciation, and business no improvement, as sales have been extremely light, and not large enough in volume to move off accumulations.

July 6. The past weak has seen more readiness to deal in stocks, and in consequence a eligLt recuperation of the best isszes 02 the list. The Jsly disbursements have croaked some little demand, especially fcr good bonds. In the way of the market seems to be almost entirely sold out, and it is very hard to find anything in that line that will pay over 3 per cent. In our market there has been slight improvement pretty much all along the line.

The City Stocks are held quite firmly, selling at today ex. the July interest. In railroad bonds Georgia, Carolina Northern 5's soH at Ueorgia Southern and Florida 5's at 100, Georgia Alabama Consols at 96, West Virginia Centrals at 112, and Northern Central 5's at 119i'; all of these being with the July interest off. Seaboard securities have had some improvement, the Certificates selling from 102 5 8 to 105, the common selling from 9 to and preferred from 26 to 27. Northern Central stock opened the week at 82n and is today selling at We think these a very desirable purchase and see no reason why the Company should not increase its dividend rate in the near future.

In street railway bonds United Bail- ways 4's sold from l6 to the incomes from 70 to 71 and the stock at 16, all on the supposition of an early settlement of tbe strike. Anacoatia Potomac 5's sold at 101, Newport News o's at! Charleston Consolidated 5's, interest March and September, can be bought at about 96 to 96U' and we think these exceedingly cheap and a good purchase. In trust stocks International sold at 88, Uhited States Fidelity Guaranty Company except the 2 per cent. July interest at 109K. Continental at 170.

Citizens had quite a rise selling from 107 up to 111 on the possibility of paying off one-half of its stock at the amount paid in which would be equivalent to $125 per share. Guardian stock sold in small less at 103 except 2 per cent. July interest. Consolidated Gas stock remains quite strong holding its own at 58. The books are closed now for tbe extra dividend of 2t per cent, and the fight for proxies goes merrily on.

We think until the sixteenth of this month actually comes it will be very hard to say who has the majority of the stock and donseqnently tbe control. Cotton Duck sold at 30 and we are told ia likely to declare the usual dividend of 3 per cent. Money is easy loaning on call and four months time at 4 per cent. TOWXSIKD SCOTT Sou. EKADSTREET'S.

NEW YORK, July 7. Bradstreet's today says: Business is usually dull at this season, and this year no exception to the general rule is to be remarked. A review of the past six months, however, gives little comfort to pessimists. Bank clearances, it is true, are smaller by about 11 per cent, than they were in the first half of 1899, but railway earnings are about 10 per cent, larger, and business failures, as reported to Bradstreets, are the fewest reported for eighteen years back, with liabilities of failing traders the smallest, with one exception, and that last year, since 1892. Winter wheat has about ail been harvested in the Southwest, and the yield there has been very large.

Copious rains in the Northwest, too, have apparently worked some improvement, judging from the more cheerful tone of advices received thence this week. Raw cotton has been rather irregular this week. Some improvement in crop advices is to be noted, but the main interest centers in the efforts of the over- 1 grown shortage to cover on the old crop deliveries. In 1 weakness are most marked in of iron and steel. Talk of an effort by the great combinations to control prices in the latter industry is heard, bat In the almost total lack of new business, the basic material, pig iron, weakens steadily, with some authorities predicting per, cent, redaction from present purely nominal prices, which are not attracting buyers.

Anthracite coal has advanced 25 cents a ton, and while demand has not increased heavily, the feeling in that trade is rather more cheerful. Sugar has been marked up again this week. Coffee is higher, while tea holds the fall advance scored on the outbreak of the Chinese Business in the United States for the week number 146, at compared A Substitute for Travel. Yesterday, in our editorial office we were treated to an unusual feast of art and beauty. Mr.

Porter Johnson reore- fentirig Underwood Underwood," of New York, showed us a line of life-sized stereographs through the perfecscope, a fine instrument by beans of which the eyes see past the figures in the front and center, each feature of the scene standing oat sharply and boldly as in real life. Thus you see everything that would be seen by visiting 1 the actual place and "the scenes are made living realities to an extent which is positively startling." We have seen hundreds of photographs and pictures of historic places, out they are not to be compared with the realistic impressions gained here, as these stereographs enable one to see, in his own home, what the traveler actually saw on the spot. It is, of coarse, impossible to gain this inspiration from any other source except on actual visit. Their educational and artistic value is certaininly graat, for they give a correct vivid and lasting impression of a place, and we wish all our.scb.cols and libraries could be furnished with these sets. One needs but to see them to be convinced of their value.

We feel that we are not overstating their value when we read the following from Prof. I. Irving Maatt, Ph. LL. of Brown's university: "They are a marvel of realism.

They taken me back to the Nile, without the weariness of travel, and brought again under my eyes the very scenes I witnessed there, as vividly as as when I watched them on the spot. To thousands of people who cannot travel, these views must prove a revelation; to the traveled few, they are even more fascinating, as they renew their impressions in all their vividness." We have taken an unusual interest in Mr. Johnson and the work he represents. He expects to be in the county for some time and wishes to meet those who are interested in education, art, history and travel. We should advise all interested to see him.

PROBABLY A VICTIM. Mlse Mary Condit-Smith One of tbe Americans in Petin. iliss Mary Ckmdit-Smith, a sister-in- law of Leonard Wood, of Havana, and who about five years ago was the guest of the-late Dr. Charles W. Hoffman, of this city, was annng the Americans in Pekin.

Gyros Field Judson, of 1-35 Broadway, New York, whose wife is a sister of Miss Saiith, received tidinga on Thursday from Washington which convinced him that Miss Smith had been killed. Miss Smith, a beautiful girl of about 25 years, the youngest daughter of Mrs. John Condit-Smith, of 21 Laaier Place, Washington, was prominent in social life at the Capital. One of her sisters was married on April 7, 1SSS, to Lieutenant Albert L. Key, of the United Navy, who wan mon afterward appointed naval attache to the United States Legations at Pekin and Tokio.

Miss Mary Smith went to Pekin six ago to visit her sister and remained at the Chinese Capital as a guest of Minister Conger when her sister, Mrs. Key, accompanied her husband recently When the news of the massacres in Pekin was received Mrs. Judson became anxious about her sisters, and Mr. Jnd- son cabled to L'eatenant Key for sews. The Lieutenant answered as follows: "Mary Legation Pekin." Adjutant General Saaxtders accepted the resignations of Major Franklin P.

James A. Gray, Whom He Shot. In a Washington Hospital. Kdward Bradley, a young mau of Potomac, Montgomery county, vrooaaot James A. Gray, who lived near Bock- rille, on the Maddoxfann, on last Wed- nesJay night, went to Rockville yesterday morning and gave himself up to the sheriff, and is now lodged in jail awaiting further action.

James A. Gray, bis victim, died at the Garfield Hospital, in Washington, early yesterday morning. The dead man was about sixty years old, and leaves surviving him a widow and twelve children. Biadley's story of the shooting varies considerable from that of James Gray, a con of the dead man. Bradley claims that he shot in self-defense.

He says that three of four men jumped on -him while he was at the picnic given by James Gray, his father's home on the night of July 4 laot, and that he was treated in snoh a manner that he thought his life was in danger. He says several atones were thrown at him, and he was in a close place. Young James Gray made tbe following statement this morning: "I gave a dance and picnic at our home on the Maddox farm on the night of July 4, and had employed James Bradley as a musician. He played until about eight o'clock that-night, when he got drank, and raised a row with George Bean. Bean was also drank.

I ordered hiTM oat of the house. As soon as I did this he turned around and drew his revolver on me as he backed ont of the door and said: 'I will kill yon before six o'clock tomorrow As he said this my father, who was oat in the yard at one of the stands came over to where we were, and told Bradley he would have to behave himself or else go away. As my father said this Bradley fired his revolver over my father's shoulder, and said he would shoot the Tory first s--of a b-- that put his hands on him, and struck my father on the shoulder with the butt end of his revolver. My father then threw a stone at Bradley, who shot him through the front finger of the left hand, when my father grabbed him. Bradley then shot my father through the right side of-his stomach, the ball going through his bowels and lodging in the muscles of his back.

Bradley then broke loose and ran towards the woods in the direction of Rockville. My father was then taken in the house, and Dr. E. Stonestreet was summoned. All of this was done so quick that I had no time to assist or defend my father.

I ran after Bradley after the shooting, bat he disappeared in the thicket." Bradley has employed Mr. Edward C. Peter as his attorney, and it is rumored that a habeas corpus writ will be sued out for his appearence before Judge Henderson to determine the legality of his detention in jail Bradley is about twenty-six years old, is married, and has three children. AS ILUXOIS IXTESTOK. Mr.S.

None of the details are lost in the transfer, bat are rather sharpened. The object on a 4 by 5 negative may be magnified as large as atsae-sbeet poster. Tha tower in Mr-Amet's laboratory has been con verted imto a printing room, and np there the wizard does his work.

He mounts the winding stair with a 2 by 2 negative ia his rest pocket. When he descends he has a 20 by 24 sheet in his hand. No picture or object is visible on the sheet. He disappears in a long, narrow room, in which there is a row of in which may be developed sheets as and 30 by 50. When he emerges from this room he holds to view a wonderful transformation.

The tiny plate which he carried aloft bai been made to spread itaelf avll over the big sheet. Tbe big picture looks though it had been printed from, a mammoth plate that had been exposed oc a hogs camera. The aew process is called the magni- foto. "BI8 THl'NOEB i 1 1 ill i i 1 1 1 1 1 1 "Big Thunder" realizes that noc many moons separate him from the "Happy Banting Ground," and he is anxious to have a friendly talk and smoke tbe pipe of peace with the great chief of the white man's country, ere he is gathered to his fathers. Whea President Grant visited Bangor, some years ago, Mayor Bass presented "Big Thunder" to the President.

The big Indian was so charmed With that "Great Father" that he has longed to grasp the hand of another. "Big Thunder' 1 and Peter Nicola have just finished the finest canoe that ever kissed the fair waters of the Penobscot, ana in they will journey to she far away wigwam of the "Great Father." If all goes well, they will set ont soon floating down the Penobscot, thence paddling along the coast to the month of the Chesapeake, np the bay and into the Potomac. Their canoe is built of silver birch. There isn't a nail, screw or tack in any part of h9r. She is sewed with cedar roots and all her seams are sealed with ths pitch of the white pine.

The canoe has a' high free board, but for all that, the Indians expect to get a ducking now and then. They will take scarcely anything along in the way of provisions. They are expert fishermen and hunters, and believe that they will be able to catch and shoot enough to satisfy their hnnger. "We shall stop at several places alongshore," said tbe chief, "'cause Nicola and me has some old friends to see." The equipage of the canoe will include a small skin tent, made, by the way, by the grandmother ot yonng Sockalexifi, who is a Penobscot. The voyagers will sleep on the shore nearly every night.

"Big Thunder" has been doings some figuring, and consulting the wiseacres among his white neighbors, and he has concluded that a journey olnot far from three thousand two hundred miles is before him and his companion. In case "Great Father" McKinley shall have gone away for the Summer before the Indians reach Washington, they will camp oat in the vicinity of the capital, and wait for the return of the "Great Father." They will take along a sap- ply of ash and sweet grass, and make bows, arrows and baskets while in camp. One interesting relic which "Big Thunder'" will carry to Washington, and which he thinks will cause MeKin- ley to open his eyes, is an ancient flint- lock gun, which was used by one of the chief's ancestors at Machias, awav back in Colonial days. This weapon was the means of scaring the English ost of their wits. They had i attempted to land and oaptrre the oo- I lonials' fort; "Big Thunder's" forbear fired the flint-lock so fast and shot so straight that the English thought then moat be a whole regiment of soldiers in ambush, and they beat a hasty retreat.

The story is tree, because it came straight from "Big Thunder's" grandfather. The chief may present the old flint-lock to "Great Father" McKinley. 'I can tell better after I see him," he said. "What will yon do with the canoe?" he was asked. 'Paddle home in it?" "Oh, I guess we sell im." replied "Big Thtmder." "Mebbe we give him to the "Great Father;" one man write me already he give me thousand dollar for him; guess, mebbe, he want put him in show; somewhere." "Why not present the canoe to the National Museum?" "Well, mebbe," said the chief, "but-.
