In addition to this the keeper of the station was authorized to sell to whaling vessels caught in northern latitudes such supplies as they might need at vhole-salo prices. A year's stock of goods was generally kept on hand, the revenue cmers taking up supplies of all kinds every ppring or summer. Now, however, all this has been done away with and the Point Barrow refuge station at the northern extremity ot this continent is a thing of the past. "A brother-in-law of Capt.

It Is a dangerous country lying adjacent to Point Barrow, especially for whalers, for In the summer Just ended a number of these vessels were caught In the ice and their crew9 were rescued with great difficulty from being frozen to death." Everything Is progressing favorably on the excavation for the foundation of the public building at Chicago," said Special Architect Cobb, and piles are being driven at the rate of sixty dally. Up to Nov. 1 about one-third of the piles had been put in position, and the most gratifying progress is everywhere apparent.

Indications point to the foundation being completed within the time specified in the contract, and no obstacles of any importance are likely to be encountered from now onward. Engineer Sooysmlth's latest report Is to the effect that the contractors are fulfilling their obligations In the most satisfactory manner, and the result of their labors promises to be the most substantial kind of a foundation for a public building."

Exhaustive indexes bring every important name and event since history began within immediate finding. John Clark Ridpath, who is the greatest living American Historian, spent a lifetime in preparing this great work. The publishers invested over a quarter of a milium dollars in illustrating it and getting it ready to print. Every nation, ancient, mediaeval and modern, from the beginning of civilization to 1S97, is adequately treated, not in a dry catalogue of dates, but in vivid, stirring sentences that bring back the past as a living, moving reality.

Equal space is devoted to description of the beginning and development of mankind the makers of events distinguished from the facts of history. In this respect Ridpath's History Is Absolutely Unique. The eight Imperial volumes contain in roond figures 6,500 double column pages, the equivalent of about 30 ordinary octavo valumes of 500 pages each. Nearly 4.000 engravings, reproductions, maps, chronological and race charts and diagrams, many of them in colors, illustrate the text and constitute the most extensive art gallery of history ever gathered together. The type is large and well spaced, the printing even and dear, the paper clean and super-calendered, and the bindings handsome and substantial.

6. Special. Acting: Secretary Ryan of the Interior department today handed down a decision which deals another severe blow at the great railroad corporations and ia in the interest of the people. It is based on the opinion of Secretary diss reversing the decisions of Secretary Smith that oil is not a mineral. The Southern Pacific railroad had contended that large tracts yielding petroleum came within the provisions of that company's grant.

It was sought to take these lands from the railroad on the contention that they were mineral and not agricultural lands. The decision of Acting Secretary Ryan is made on an application to review an opinion by Mr. Smith, a large number of similar cases being involved. The application of the Union Oil company was taken as the basis for' his conclusions. The decision of the former Secretary held that lands containing petroleum are not subject to location and entry under the mining laws; that such lands do not fall within the meaning of the exception of all mineral lands," from the grant to the railroad company; and that even if such lands were subject to location and entry under the mining laws a discovery of mineral on each twenty acres of the claim is a legal prerequisite to a valid location.

A number of errors are assigned in the motion for review. They deny correctness of the several holdings of the decision. The Acting Secretary assumes, in the absence of any showing to the contrary, that the lands are chiefly valuable for the deposits of petroleum they contain and that In this respect the entry was regular if such lands are subject to mineral entry at all. The decision then quotes the statutes relative to making locations for mineral deposits and it About this time last year," said Charlie Loeffler, who guards the door leading to the Cabinet roonv at the White House, President Cleveland and myself were out In Montgomery County, hunting squirrels. It was election day and just the kind of weather for shooting or an outdoor tramp.

There was a good-natured crowd about the polling places we passed and they cheered the President In the heartiest manner imaginable. At the same time they gave vent to their enthusiasm by hurrahing for McKinley, and this was the first intimation the President received how the election was going. He took it good-naturedly, too. and joked considerably about the changes a few months would bring about.

On the east shield the inscription reads thus: Minister of the gospel.

If the laws of my country fail to protect m'e I appeal to God. and with him I cheerfully rest my cause. I can die at my post, but I cannot desert it." The fourth panel is dedicated to the heroism of those who helped Lovejoy defend the liberty of the press, and bears this inscrip tion: This monument commemorates the valor, devotion, and sacrifice of the noble Defenders of the Press, who in this city, Nov. 1837, made the first armed resistance to the agressions of the slave power in America." The granite base has this inscription: In gratitude to God, and in the love of liberty, the State of Illinois and City of Alton erect this monument, A. 1806.

A pedestal supporting a tripod stands at each end of the wall, terminating the seat which runs around the base. Six granite steps lead up to the granite flagging. Robert P. Bringhurst of St. Louis is the sculptor.

The Lovejoy Monument association carried out the work. This is composed of E. P. Wade, William Armstrong. John E.

Hayner, W. T. Norton, Charles Holden, Pfeiffenderber, Edward Lewis, Thomas Dimmock. For many years Lovejoy's grave was unmarked and in danger of utter oblivion, un-i til one who had known him in life, Thomas Dimmock of St. Louis, who will make the principal address at the dedication of the monument, marked the grave with a simple stone bearing this inscription: Hie Jacet Lovejoy.

Jam parce sepulto." Here lies Lovejoy; now spare his grave." It largely through the efforts of Mr. Dimmock that tan years ago the Lovejoy Monument association was formed, but it was not until the spring of 1S06 that the Legislature voted $23,000 for the erection of the monument, with the provision that the citizens of Alton should raise an additional 1 5,000 by subscription. This was promptly done and the work rapidly pushed to completion. Alton. 111., Nov.

6. Special. The monument to Elijah P. Lovejoy. enemy of slavery and defender of the liberty of the press, which was made possible by an appropriation by the Illinois State Legislature and subscriptions raised by citizens of Alton, will be dedicated In Alton on Monday, the ninety-fifth anniversary of Lovejoy's birth and a day later than the sixtieth anniversary of his death at the hands of a mob.

The exercises will be brief and simple and without great public display, according to the announcement of the Monument association, but the crowd which will come to take part and witness the exercises will come from all sections of the State. Southern Illinois will be represented by thousands. The exercises will begin at 2 p. m. Thomas Dimmock, a bosom friend of the great -abolitionist, will dedicate the monument.

The memorial stands on the bluffs, faces the Mississippi River, and overlooks the railroads running through the city. It is constructed of Quincy granite. The base has the general appearance of the Lincoln monument in Lincoln Park, Chicago. A shaft of granite, surmounted by a figure of victory, occupies the center of the base. Two sentinel columns bearing bronze eagles occupy positions at each side of the approach.

The center column is ninety feet high, the figure is seventeen feet higher, making the highest point 107 feet. The sentinel columns rise to a height of thirty feet above the grade. Shields occupy each of the four sides cf the lower part of the center shaft. The front shield bears a medallion likeness of Love-joy, taken from one in the possession of his niece.

For two weeks immediately preceding his death he suffered from some internal trouble, and on Wednesday consented to an operation to ascertain what the trouble was, believing was appendicitis.

When he did go to trial of a case he usually secured good verdicts, and the lawyers for the street car companies came to know him as a hard man to fight against.
