FIGHTING FOREST FIRES.
fi.ometlnifs they do things very wet
In Michigan. As everyone Is aware,
Michigan, like New Hampshire, Is very
solicitous for her forests. Again, like
New Hampshire, Michigan la dis-
turbed from time to time by forest
fires, and every loyal Michigander la
expected to prove his willingness,
whenever_oecaslon may demand, to
Join his neighbors in fighting those
fires, says the Manchester Union. In
fact, a Michigan statute specifically
provides punishment for refusal to as-
sist in suppressing a forest fire. Never,
however, until recently, has it been
found necessary to invoke this statute,
and then a man was sentenced to 90
days In the Detroit house of correc-
tion. It Is, of course, conceivable that
a rigid enforcement of Buch a law as
that might work severe hardship In
some Individual cases. ' For example,
It would he obviously unjust and In-
human to Impress Into firefighting
service one whose physical condition
plainly Incapacitates him from that
service, or one who Is occupied with
the care of the sick. On the other
hand, It Is always to be expected that
careful judgment will he exercised
In the enforcement of thl3 law, as of
any other.
BLACK CHAPTER IN HISTORY
That "unlucky 13” superstition 1l
getting no end of sideswipes as a re-
sult of the Increasing intelligence of
the age. A married couple in Tren-
ton, N. J., have just become the proud
parents of their thirteenth baby, and
instead of being considered a case of
bad luck, the coming of the youngster
seems to be regarded as uncommonly
fortunate, says the Troy Times. At
all events not only are the father and
mother delighted beyond measure but
they have received offers from all
over the country to take and adopt
the child, those offers evidently be-
ing inspired by the belief that the In-
fant will bring good luck. One ardent
bidder tenders the parents $10,000 for
the little ones. As all offers have been
declined the parents of the thirteenth
evidently intend to keep the luck In
the family.
Spanish Government Faces War
Abroad While Revolutionists
Are Active At Home.
Madrid, July 29.—The revolution In
Catalonia has reached a serious stage.
There has been much bloodshed and
artillery has been employed In the
streets of flarcblonia to quell the out-
breaks. The city Is being deserted.
The revolutionists are resisting be-
hind barricades. The troops are using
artillery apd the barricades of the reb-
els Imve been raked by shot.
King Alfonso hurried back from San
Sabastian yesterday and issued a do-
cree proclaiming martial law and the
suspension of Constitulonal agree-
ments throughout Spain.
Orders have been given to the Gov-
ernors of the provinces to crush the
revolution at any cost, without hesita-
tion and -without pity.
Yesterday marks a black chapter In
the history of Spain, for fliere was
tragedy both at home and abroad. The
King reached hero in time to learn
that part of his army at Mellila had
had a bloody battle with the Moors,
which though the final victory was
won by the Spaniards, cost the lives
of twenty-one officers and a total of
200 Spaniards killed or wounded.
Another step hap been taken In thi,
direction of Improving waterways. The
secretary of war has approved the
plans submitted by a hoard of en-
gineers for the construction of a sea-
level ship canal across Gape Cod be-
tween Massachusetts bay and Buz-
zard’s bay. This work Is to be done
by a company formed for the purpose,
though the canal eventually no doubt
wlUMorm « link in the lntercoastal
systeln which Is now under considera-
tion. Tlhe Cape Cod canal will shorten
by many, miles the distance by water
frpm Boston to New York, besides en-
abling v«4frts to avoid the greater
marine ibujgoi s of the outside route at
certain seasons.
World’s Big Gun Record.
San Francisco: Battery Boutelle of
the San Francisco Presidio has made a
world’s record with five inch guns, ac-
cording to the official score annonunc-
ed by Col. John A. Lunden. Ten shots,
with service projectiles, fired Thurs
day at a moving target, two and a half
miles away, scored bullseyes. All ten
shots were fired within a minute and
thirty seconds.
Strawberries Five Months in Year.
St. lx>uis: Strawberries all summer,
sYrawberlres and cream every day
from May 1 to Oct. 1. Edward Rlehl
president of Alton Horticultural So
ciety, after years of labor, has, by
crossing various varieties of the
strawberry vine, succeeded In produc
Ing a plant that will grow the red
luscious berries five months of the
year.
Settlement Made With Panama. •
Panama: President Obaldia and his
Ministers conferred Wednesday over
the settlement demanded by the Unit-
ed States for the alleged maltreatment
of American citizens In Panama.
While neither the Foreiga Office nor
the American Legation would make
any statement, it ^s understood a sat-
isfactory settlement v$us agreed upon
by the Cafcinet.
Intimations that the disclosures In
the “Black Hand" conspiracy In Ohio
may lead to the exposure of a far-
reaching plot and that the trail If fol-
lowed may end in the discovery and
punishment of men connected with the
assassination of Lieut. Petroslno, the
New York police officer who was mur-
dered In Sicily, are not surprising.
There seems to be no doubt that a
(criminal organization exists, and when
Ithat fact Is established and the proper
threads are found the whole mystery
may be unraveled. And when this Is
accomplished there Is likely to be a
blow dealt at “Black Handlsm" that
will teach a greatly needed lesson.
- Arkansas Idea Interesting.
Dallas: “If the farmers in Arkan-
sas who are afraid of the boll w-eevil

Hunter, chief of the Southern field crop
Investigations being conducted by the
United States Government.
The new president of Brazil, suc-
ceeding Dr. Penna, deceased, announ-
ces the intention of pursuing the poli-
cies of his predecessor. These policies
aim at promoting peace at home and
abroad and general good understanding
as conducive to progress and prosper-
ity. He will find no heartier Indorse-
ment of that program than he will get
from the people of the United States.
Brazil is the largest country in South
America, and with institutions modeled
after those of our republic there are
■pedal reasons why this nation should
take a warm Interest In the political
and material development of that re-
gion.

Markets Are Destroyed and People Are
Facing Famine. 8hock Worst
„ In- Many Years.
Mexico City, Aug. 2.—Details which
are beginning to arrive .from the State
of Guerrero show the recent series of
earthquakes In the valley of Mexico
and along the Pacific Coast were the
worst experienced in many years.
It is now certain the towns of Aca-
pulco and Chllpanclngo have been
practically destroyed and many lives
lost What tho earthquake of Friday
failed to do was accomplished by the
stronger one yesterday, which leveled
or rendered uninhabitable every build-
ing in those places.
In addition to the ruin caused by
the earthquake Acapulco now faces a
famine. All of the markets were de-
stroyed In the shocks yesterday and
the country people are afraid to bring
more produce to the town.
During one heavy shock yesterday
the water of the harbor receded a dis-
tance 'of thirty-three feet and then
rushed back, covering the docks and
piers. k
