A mevement bee been on foot to join the principal penning factories of this State Into one corporation. Its promoters say that New York Is entitled by reason of n a ture! advantages to a commanding place In the greet cunning Industry. Although her manufeotuves In this lino have not ns yet reached a place of the highest Import ance In value, they have been growing rapidly during the last four years and In 1896 reached a value of ♦ 10,000,600. In that year something hko 00,000,000 cans of fruits and vegetables were packed, besides a considerable quantity of edibles that were put up In glass. The principal article packed was corn, ot whlfb there were 1,500 ouO cases of two dozen cans. It la asserted that New York's canneries stand at the head of those of the United States In the quality of their green peas, string beans, B artlett pears, asparagus aud small fruits, and that If tfie Industry were put under a central direction the high quality of these particular nroducts could be made uniform and brought to a more complete recognition In the markets. It is further contended that an advantage In prices would en^ue, while the production could be cheapened through the mnny directions possible under a single admin istration. There are about 100 oaimorles In the State, but many of these are com paratively email. The principal ones nre operated by less than a dozen concerns. It Is proposed that the now combination shall have ♦11,000,000 capital stock, which shall all be taken by the constituent canneries, and that there shall be *5,000,000 of five per coot, bonds to be sold to furnish the oipltnl for the building of a proposed can factory and for general working purposes. Volunteer Soldier Shot. Private Simon Downer, of the Forty-sec ond Infantry, United States Volunteers, was shot at Fort Niagara while attem p ting to escape from the guard. Ho died of his wounds. Downer was placed under arrest for assaulting five of his comrades with a knife. In the struggle It was thought he had been Injured, and while the g u ard was taking him to the Post Surgeon he made an attem p t to escape. He was shot through the right shoulder, the ball from n Krug- Jorgonsen penetrating his lunge and com ing out of his breast. Private Brlckley, of the guard, fired the shot. The dead man's home Is at Wales Centro, Mich. Ho en listed In Cleveland. He had been rejected for the service In the Philippines and was left a t the fort when the regiment started for Manila on Monday. Ho was awaiting bis d ischarge papers. The Berkeley Drowning Case. The sad drowning accident In which Ed ward Fairfax Berkeley, of 8t. Louis, a Cor nell student, met bis death while under going the preliminary Initiation of the nappa Alpha Fraternity, will probably be presented to the Grand J u ry. District At torney Moran, of Senaoa County, In which county the aoddebt occurred, Is the au thority for the above statem ent. Berkeley, It will be remembered, was drowned while attem p ting to carry out directions given him by a fellow-student named Dickenson. U has been shown that the latter was not fully acquainted with the ground, and the above-named official believes that ho was to some extent liable for Berkeley's death. Colonel XT. W. Teall Dies. Colonel William W. Teall, one of Syra cuse's pioneer business men, who became seriously 111 from excessive hiccoughing, died ns Syracuse, aged >|ghty-tw o years, He Is survived by a widow, Sarah Sumner Teall, daughter of thq late Major-Gouoral Edwin V. Sumner and sister of Brigadier- General Edwin V. Sumner, retired, and ot Colonel Samuel 8. Sumner, military attnehee of the United States Embassy, London; and by four children—Oliver Sum- net Teall,of New York City ; William M. Teall and Mrs. C. Heroert Halcomb, of Syracuse; Mrs. John M cIntyre, of New Yorl: City, and Mrs. Charles G. Kidd, of Euglaid. Woman S elfraglete lo Governor lloi eevelt. The following resolution was adopted by the Now York S tate Suffrage Association at the convention Just held at Dunkirk: Re solved, That the Woihan Suffrage Associa tion of the State of New York, In oonven-i tlon assembled, hereby expresses to the honored Governor of ihe State Us a p p re ciation of his recommendations of the fur ther extension of suffi'age to women In his first annual message, and a hope for the same recognition this year, au d i t respect fully requests Ids kindly co-operation with future effort In this direction, especially In behalf of the Women T axpayers’ bill, which may be reintroduced this winter at Albany. Mayor Kinney, of Utica, Dead. Thomas E. Kinney, Mayor of Utica, died nf cancer of the stomach a fter n p rotracted Illness. He was born at Three Rivers, Can ada, August 3, 1841. In IHf»7 he was elect ed City Attorney, and In 1886 was elected to the mayoralty. Ho was re-elected In 1886 and 1887. In 1897 he was nominated by the Independent Business Men and elected Mayor by ninety-nine majority. His term would have expired January 1. Last year Mr. Kinney ran for State Con troller on the Independent Citizens' Union ticket. ________ Might* of County Treasurers, Attorney-General John C. Davie* has wrlllen an opinion In which tie holdH that a County Treasurer Is not entitled to com mission on moneys deposited with him by a man under Indictment who had deposited sueh moneys, Instead of giving a ball bond In lieu thereof. The opinion was written pursuant to a letter from State Controller Morgan relating to a claim made by the Freasurer of Monroe County for one per cent, fees on money deposited by H. 8. Eaton, under Indictment la that county. Profit of State Departm ent. In the ten months of 1899 from J anuary 1 to November 1 the total net profits of the department of Secretary of State John T. McDonough were 133,238.03. This sum Is exclusive of the corporation > o rganization lax. which Is paid d irect lo the State.Treas- orer. It was mainly for certificates, for certified copies of documents and for simi lar public service performed. The figures are much larger than for the same perl->d of 1698. In October, 1899, the net prollis were $3130.73, compared with ♦,2f».X7.,25 In November, 1898, a net gain of $473.48. May Change M o rtality Tables.

Pnyn. Superin tendent of Insurance, to recommend such table as In hie opinion Is beet adapted to the purpose. New Ships For Our Nkvy.

Tho event which cost UrilT his aural appendage, ami obliged him to rely on the artifleer to restore his physiognomy to normal appearance, happened in the summer of ’98, when the roar of cannon shook the sodden hills of the Pearl of the Antilles and the roll and rattle of m u sketry tilled the island. It was tho first of July, half an hour after tho ehargo on Sau Juan Hill. The soldiers, using bayonets ns entreuehing knives, were throwing a temporary earth-work in, despen haste. The scene was one of intense excitement and activity when an offi cer, running along the lino of the Tenth Infantry, suddenly stopped aud shouted: “ Corporal Griff!\ “ Here, sir,\ responded a soldier, jumping to hit tention. g np his feet and coming to nt- >n, i down on the bottom there, and clei out a few of them sharpshooters.\ “ Very well, sir.\ “ And don’t come hank again till you’ve got least half a dozen of ’em ,\ eontinued tha officer, savagely, as tlriffsalu teJ aud started off to p ickout bin detail Long service in the Apache country around Port Sill and Prescott llar- vacks had made Griff indifferent to danger, and ho experienced only a strange thrill of savage delight at having been selected to lead this squad on the hunt for human game, where no quarter would be asked aud shoot to kill. - ' The bottom referred to was a broad plain across which the soldiers had just charged m reaching tho hill. Tall, thick grass covered it from end to end, and it was dotted here aud there with bread fruit trees, in whose bushy tope were concealed many Hpnu- ish riflemen. Just after dusk that evening Griff again encountered the officer on top of tho hill. “ W ell,\ said the latter as the cor poral touched his hat, “ do you want to see me?’’ “ 1 jest want to report, captain, an’ ask fur another detail.\ “ What d'you want?\ began the of ficer, aud then peering inteutly through the gloom a m< meut said sharply: “ t i n f f , w h a t 'n th e m a i l e r w i t h y o u r c a r ? \ \N o thin', sir, nothin’, as I know of,” was the laconic res|mnae. . “ Nothing!

I h id a most serious attack of chilis and then commenced to take K pans T.ihulvs, upon a IHend’s advice, and the first box made me all right and I have never been without them since.

A RIVER OF DEATH. T h e Y e llow H i r e r of C h inn nm l Its Ap V ailing R e c o rd. JJjTbo Yellow River in China is a' emoe ihe scourge and the blessing o! the densely populated country through which it flows. For centuries its in initiations, more or less severe, bill invariably disastrous, have been oi periodical occurrence, and every effort to prevent them has been unsuccess ful. The river brings down with it from the mountains where it has its rise on enormous quantity of elayisb soil, from whose appearance it derives its name. This'soil is held iu suspen sion in the upper reaches of the stream, where an e x traordinarily swift current impedes sedimentation, but when the tfdver leaches the lower level of the valley and the rapidity of its descent is checked the soil carried in suspen sion sinks to the bottom. That is nn ordinary process, but in the case of tho Yoaug-IIo, or Yellow River, it is made extraordinary by tho enormous volume of the subsistence. It goes on so rapidly aud the current is so slow that the bed of the river is constantly tilling up, and to prevent the water from spreading over the val ley iu a shallow lake it has been nec essary to construct, and is essential to m aintain, an immense i— 1— artificial embankments. As rises the height of these embankment* is increased, and at many places along its course the surface of the river ie high above the level ot the surround- ing country. Under snob conditions the recurrence of destructive inuuda lions is inevitable. The embank ments are supposed to bo under con stant surveillance, and any weakucsf that may develop is immediately re paired; but Chinese science and Chi nese num b ers are unable to resist the mighty pressure of the swollen river in tim es of flood. A break takes place iu the protecting wall, through which the waters pour; sections of tho em bankment are swept away, and pretty soon the adjacent country has beeu converted iuto a lake. These recurrent visitations aro en dnred by the Chinese with character istic resignation. A few years ago t« flood*occurred from which it was esti mated that 6,000.000 people lost their lives. Yet the Chinese no more think of deserting the scene of tiieHO repent ed disasters than tho Egyptians think of leaving the valley of the Nile. The) know the danger that they run, but the fertility of the soil thus iuordin ately watered draws them to the local ity with an irresistible attraction. If W estern energy and skill could con trol the Yellow River tho blessing to the Chinese people would be immeas- ' Fnllurtt' Supvrellllone. Pets are believed to bring good luck, and when, in the recent war with Spain, a man was struck ami killed bj a bursting shell on tho Texas, all tin sailor.-* iu tbolleot said it was because the battleship was without a mascot. The cat has had a reputation among seafaring men, most of whom believe that she brings ill-luck to a ship.
