Few stories of to- day are more roman— tic than that of that rapid rise to wealth of John Thomas N 01th who was de— feated for memberShip in Parliament by Herbert Gladstone. North is known as the “Nitrate King,” because it is to that prOduct he owes his fortune, and because of his open-handed way of dis tributing his wealth. . - Although now the richest man in Great Britain, his origin is most hum- ble. A Yorkshire mechanic, ‘he went to Chili when he was twenty-three years old, twenty-eight years ago, and riveted boilers in the ‘town of Huasco. At this time the nitrate fields of Peru were be- ginning to be talked of as a good field for speculatien. He believed that he could employ his mechanical ability there, and left as soon as he could afi'ord to make the ven- tuie. His work was largely in the hi- trate fields, and he was one of the first- to purchase nitrate. For twenty years he continued to purchase it. He mas- tered every detail of the nitrate business and began to erect works here and there in Tarapaca. It IS needless to track the progress of the Nitrate King in detail through the successive stages which have led to his possession of a fortune, exceeding $100,- 000,000. His far-sighted business sa- gacity enabled him to see opportunities for money-making that were not appar- ent' to _ others. Gradually he secured control of the greater part of the nitrate beds. Water is a precious commodity in that region, . so North got control of the water com- panies. He needed ships and railways for transportation of freight and passen- gers, and he built them. , When the war betWeen Chili and Peru broke out, he found new openings for the rapid accu- mulation of wealth, and promptly avail ed himself of them, getting control Of railways, gas works, and other corpora- tions, which, in his hands, paid as they never had done before. After Col. North had became one of the world’s richest men, he placed his South American affairs in competent hands and returned to England to enjoy Far from resting, however, he engaged in new enterprises, the chief of which was'the manufacture of cement in Belgium, which has proved almost as lucrative as the production of nitrate of silver. Even to this day he personally supervises all of his vast bus- iness interests. ‘ Liked Things Quiet “’l1en He Killed Bear “Bear?” said Mr. Ottinger. _ “Bear? why, I just helped kill an 1,146 pound grizzly just a. week ago at Wawona.01d_ Jim Duncan, the slayer Of 94 heals, and I went out on horseback about ten miles from town aftei grouse. “We walked five 01' six miles in the hottest weather, and after getting six grouse and a hundred mosquitoes we thought of turning back. But I was so thirsty that I said: “ 'Wait hole, in the clearing, Jim, till I go down to the canyon and get a drink.’ “I only took one swallow when two gunshots rang out. Startled at the sound I aiose and ran as well as my weight Would let me back to the clearing. Puflf- ing and blowing I leaned up against a tree and witnessed the strangest sight I ever saw. Abig pile of fur lay inaheap on the giound, and the old huntei was just about to stoop 0v e1 it to jab his bowie knife into it when the bundle rose up like a flash and let out a blow that sent Jim’ 5 musket spinning fifty feet 1n the ab. . \Vith that there was the most exciting fight I ever saw. “The been reamed up again and Dun- can barely dodged its claws. But B1 uin caught his clothes at the neck and ripped them down to his boots. I still leaned against the tree, too weary from my run and too surprised to go up and shoot the hear. “I could see Duncan slip around and his feet got tangled in his torn clothes. He fell fighting with the bear atop; but the bear’s throat was cut from ear to ear. The old man extricated himself and sliding on the carcass called over to me through his nose: ‘ “ “Wall, my time hasn’t come yet. Young man, I give you credit for a. great deal of cOolness for a. greenhorn. I’m glad you didn’t open your mouth in this fracas, so many of these fellows think they have to talk when I’m killing b’ar. ’ ” —San Francisco Call. Intelligent Fire Horses. At station No. 32, in Philadelphia, there is a magnificent bay which Driver George Isler and all the othei men are very fond of.“Ha1'1y, kiss me,” said one of the fire laddies to the horse, a few days ago, and the affectionate animal put its head through the bars and lick- ed the check of the speaker. The Nig horse at this station is ever on. the alert to go to fires, taking almost a. human interest in his work, but he does not like to be fooled, and the daily train- ing he despises. He is always fiist to spring under the harness when the sig- nal is given; but when the firemen un- harness him and attempt to lead him back to his stall he manifests his disap- pointment by an ugly shake of his head, striking out with his fore feet, kicking with his hind feet, and then bounding back to his stable. Engine Company No. 1’7, on Race street, below Broad, has a fine pair of blacks, one of which has a sweet tooth, and he feasts on cakes,c candy and apples given to him by the women and child- ren 11th visit the station to witness the daily training. John, Nig s black mate, is a regular watchdog. He cannot howl or bark, but when he sees any'thing strange or sus- picous about the station he zDkicks the door, making such a noise that the alarm soon b11ng§__the men to the sta- ble. ‘ Wife—What do you think of Brid- get’s cooking.

VICTORIA, B. 0., Sept. 10.-—Private let-q tors from Shanghai just received here anv nounce that the commission appointed by the British and American governments to investigate the -Ku-Ch'ang massacre of Aug. 1 reached Fuchau on Aug. 13, Sui- kow two days later and Ku-Chang on Aug. 17 without a shadow Of molestation from the barbarous hordes alleged by Chinese officials to have established a reign of ter- ror throughout the province. The commission consists of the Brit- ish consul, Mr. R. W. Mansfield; the American consul, Colonel J. Courtenay Histn; the British vice consul, E. L. B. Allen, from Pagoda anchorage; Lieuten- ant Evans of‘the United States steamship Detroit; the Rev. W. B. 'Annister, repre- senting the English Church Missionary society, and Dr. Gregory of the American Methodist Episcopal mission, and its es- cort of . 'but 100..of‘-t11e viceroy’s'ill armed and poorly disciplined soldiers, a circum- stance which supports but feebly the Chi; nes'e contention that the massacre was en- tirely beyond official prevention, owing to ‘ the, country being inrcvoit.~ This defense is regarded by all British and American residents in Chinese terri- tOry as quite as farcical as the commission, unsupported, as it is, by any display of British or American force, and indigna- tion runs high at the apathy displayed by these governments 'in regard to the mas,- sacrc.- It is argued that the official defense is untenable, as under the Chinese law a‘ ' system of mutual responsibility prevails, all public officials being held personally responsible for the commission of crimes within their jurisdiction, whether they are legitimately blamable or not, and are visited with the penalties attached in the event of their failing to apprehend and punish the criminal in person. The commission had at last advices re- ‘ ceived the sgtements of three Witnesses— Dr. Gregory of the American mission at Harman Of Ku_-Chang, the latter two hav- ing been eyewitnesses of the fearful scenes of Aug. 1. A VETERAN’S CRIME. His Wife Refusing to Pardon Him, He » Shoots Ber, Then Himself. CLINTON, 1115., Sept. 10.-.-Gcorge Cap- lingcr attempted to kill his wife by firing two shots at her. He then placed the re- volver to his Own temple and sent a ball into his head. Caplinger was an inmate of the Soldiers’ 1 home at Quincy. He came home a few days ago on his way to the national encampment 'at‘ Louisville. Caplinger and his wife and six children did not live harmoniously together before ,he entered the home, and his visit here at this time was to effect a reconciliation. His wife and children would not consent to his return. Mrs. Capllnger was standing in the front yard, leaning over the gate, and her husband was standing behind her. He entreated her to take him back, but she refused. He then drew a. .revolver, and placing it at her head clicked the trigger, 'which drew Mrs. Caplinger’s attention, Ho fired, the, ball entering A second shot struck a steel in her corset, which saved her life. but too late. - The children in the house heard the shots and ran out just as their father sent a bullet into his own head. Caplinger served as a. Union soldier in a Kentucky cavalry regiment during the war. in Shelbyville, Ky., for a. number of years. Twelve years ago he came to Clinton with his family. For three years he has been an inmate of the home in Quincy and drew a. pension. J all Delivery Frustrated.
