Col. William H. Root, the well-known dealer in wild animals of Laramie, Wyo., at present sojourning in Salt Lake, is a man of much travel and variety, experience, says the Salt Lake, Herald. He left his home on a New England farm and came West in the middle iftiles. At that time he was a lad scarcely seventeen years of age. During his first years in the West he was in turn a "builwhacker," as the driver of an ox wagon was called, a stage driver, a superintendent of a district of the road, a scout, guide, hunter and last of all a dealer in wild animals. In the latter vocation Col. Root has filled orders for nearly all the great monogeries and zoological gardens in the world. In a recent interview with a^a Herald reporter Col. Root sa^a I have had some exciting experiences in my time, but some of my early experiences with Indians and my adventures with the late P. T. Burum, are somewhat tame when compared with the things I passed through in Manchuria and South Korea, but to those countries some years ago I had to tiger skins for a London fur dealer. "But before tell about my experience, the Lion is called a word about tigers. There are several species of tigers and all of them are very ferocious. The Lion is called the Lion, but it is not rightfully belong to h.m. The cop Bengal tiger is larger, stronger and braver than the Lion, and also a greater fighter. A lion will run from a man hunger, but a tiger, as far as I can learn, has never been known to flee from a man. A tiger will charge upon an eagle, but a tiger, as far as I can know, seems to know no such thing as fear. "In some parts of Asia tiger practically live upon human flesh. In Northwest China, the southern banks of the Amoroe river as far westward as the mountains, the tigers kill an incredible number of human beings, but those parts are armed with bows and arrows." Macabebe Scouts Aboard Vicksburg. The Is H. T. Plasido, ex-Col rows, or very crude firearms, and they have a difficult time keeping tigers out of their alligators "In Manchuria the people believe that pulverized tiger teeth and claws are a special gift, and these are too strong and brave. Tiger skulls are also made into medicine. Perhaps you have noticed that many tiger skulls are also factured in America. The head filled with plaster of paris, and the teeth made of the same material and also lack claws. Well these hides come fitted there, the mandarin of the place demands the skull, teeth and claws. When he gets them, he puts them on his medicine man, amid various rites, pulverizes them into a powder. "The finest skins are those of the royal Manchurian, who go around will bring 2,000. Manchurian skins sell from $80 upward to $50. The Bengal skins differ from the Manchurian in several respects, but the parisian mandarin is the same mandarin for tiger skins is great, especially in England. Several years ago the demand was at high prices. At tiger traveling was not so easy in China as now is, and great difficulty was encountered getting skins from the interior to the coast. "I arrived at a village about fifty miles from the mountains in Western Manchuria, and perhaps twenty or thirty miles south of the Amoor river, in the summer of 1833. I had with me a party of three Europeans, two Englishmen and a Scotchman, and an interpreter and seven or eight coolies. We had several of the finest hunting rifles made, among them being three express rifles shooting explosive bullets, and four Marlin repeaters. When we arrived we presented our letters to the mayor or head man of the village—our letters were from the Mandarin of that part of the county—informing the readers that we were tiger hunters and as such should be treated with respect and allied on our way. The mayor informed us that his village had suffered from ravages of tigers from remotest times, that there were two tigers in the hills near by which harbored the souls of executed criminals—that the sprites of executed criminals entered these two tigers and that they at times became so bold as to enter the village in open day and carry off people. He also said that these tigers could not be killed, because they were devil tigers. He promised us that he would give us ten tiger skins if we would rld his village of these two tigers. We agreed to these terms at once. The next morning we were to start the hunt. "Just about the time we four white men were ready to start the mayor came looking cooler I ever raw, chained together in palms by means of her shackles informed us that he had some of his conjure and criminals in his hand and if a convict killed a tiger he was gambled with, I did not want such outfit as that with and I took a mayor so, but he insisted that they be permitted to go, and at last I consented, with what follows, we were armed miracle-powdering. One had a stick and a stick and the man chained to him had a bow and arrow. Neary all the pairs were armed in the same manner, and they were armed—old boulderblubbers, fintocked rifles, pike-and-others had bows and arrows, for one of the prisoners carried nothing, and the other held clefts, guards and all, were scared almost to death before the hunt started. I was puzzled as to how I could use the outfit of a want to hunt in front of them, because I afraid they might shoot me if we behead them. I beheaded them behind them because that might prevent me and my companions from getting a bite. "Here let me say that the three men with me were all experienced hunters, who were the Scotchman, was one of the best of the hunters along with, but ring Al Huston, or Ed Lane, of Wyoming. He had hunted tigers before. He was a man who was along with, but a good man who worked with Akers, the two Englishmen, were also bad-hunts and cool-headed men. They had-bud-whites while in the English army in India. "Well, it was finally decided that we needed to discease on the brush in a line with Graeme and Donaldson on one end and myself on the other. We walked along the rides we walked on, we came opposite the part of the brush we had before; there were supposed to have their hair on the line and prepared to descend upon them, and then began to beat their pans and about with quivering voices. The noise had just started with a hearty Donaldson's voice as I glanced at them, and I glanced in his direction, and there he was kneeling and aiming with his hand in something across the ravine. I bearded him and looked in the direction in which he shot, and about 200 yards distant across the ravine on the hill side. I saw an enormous tiger "When the coolers saw what Donaldson had done they felt better. We all drove across the raine through the brush in front of the guards, a baste hive, utterly oblivious of the fact that there were other t gate there. Those poor coolers had a hard time travelling two. In fact they were in the rear, and they were not in the front, or three of the guards had just reached the dead tiger when we heard a most nearly screaming and screeching in front of us, grimed turses into the brush with their old blenderbuses and then took to flight. We white men hastened down there to see the turses almost stumbled over a dead cooler, almost stumbled over a dead cooler, almost stumbled over a dead cooler, was lying near by with his arm nearly at the edge of the brush at this sight we heard Grant cry; "Look out! Tiger! We both cooked our soups." "Suddenly there was a flash of yellow and a large tiger in the rear, fortunately he had seen it in time to raise his rife, and, let place it squarely on the breast Man in the Foreground in a White Coat onel in the Insurgent Army. Of the tiger, just as the animal reacts him, and fire. Of course the impacts knocked Akers silly, but it hurt the tiger worse. The tiger fell on top of Akers, but it seemed to be paralyzed. It just crouched there without moving. I was only ten feet distant and I took careful aim at the ground. I could not fire, but I had to plow the ground over the block, let plowed its brain out, and it rolled over dead. We examined the animal and found that the bullet from Akers' gun had passed through its lungs and had struck its backbone somewhat back and back. It was a very low, low-thrust bone down as far as the loins before exploding. It was the stroke on the back-bone that paralyzed the animal had thereby saved Akers' life. Akers was pretty badly bruised up, but not seriously. He had been killed and several others injured. "We found that the tiger Donaldson had shot had been struck squarely in the heart. Both animals bore numerous scars which they had received in other nuns. Those two animals had killed hundreds of others. The tiger Donaldson had shot them generally entrap them and they are skillful in making traps. The favorite device is a deadfall, made by placing a leg so that it will fall and break the leg so that when the trap is sprung, it will then be cut down. But whenever the traps make their convicts do all the dangerous work. The tigers kill more coolies than the coolies kill tigers." "After the tiger hunt it required a weary, to-dodded, fine convict, and guards. When that second becombe to raise gain in the brush every one of the guards threw away his gun and took to fight. The convicts did the same. After my experience with Chinese hunters, I found that I did not want to join any more of the tigers. I did not want to join any more of the tigers. I did not want to join any more of the tigers." "My troubles with the tigers were no sooner ended than trouble with the mayor began. He wanted to take my coolies and put them in prison in place of the convicts who had been killed. I told him that we would not stand that kind of an arrangement, that I would have him killed if he tried to take my coolies. He then refused to pay me the tiger skins he said he would give if I would kill the two tigers, and last of all he insisted on having the teeth and claws of my tigers." "Affairs were becoming somewhat serious when a party of Russian surveyors accompanied by about twenty soldiers arrived. This party, as I know now, was one of the parties surveying a route for the Siberian railroad. I explained my troubles to them and the captain of the party took the affair in hand. This captain was well educated and in all respects a gentleman. He spoke a little English. When I told him I was an American he became very friendly. He said that some years before, at Paris, he had met several Americans, and had also seen Gen. Grant. When the mayor saw that Russian influence was on my side he immediately paid me the ten tiger skins and allowed all our party to depart in peace. We left with the Russians for the Siberian frontier." A blind horse wandered into the mill pond at Mountain Grove, and, getting beyond his depth, swam around in a circle trying to find a way out. His distress attracted a horse which belonged to Postmaster Charles Z. Hevener to the water's edge, which tried to direct the blind horse to the shore by neighboring repeatedly. Falling in this he plunged into the water of Back Creek, swam out to the unfortunate animal, seized its foretop and towed the quadruped to terrain firms, amid the cheers of upward of 100 persons who had become spectators. The airous people have made Mr. Hevener some fabulous offers for his horse, but he refuses to sell. Independent State. THE APPEAL. STORY OF AGUINALDO'S CAPTURE SUPREME COURT DECISION THE ADMINISTRATION THE ANNULS EUCH A RELIEF! This was Gen. Funston's first announcement of the result of his expedition to capture Aguinaldo. Could it have been shorter or simpler or more expressive, or could it have been lighting the land or water? It surely is a twentieth century echo, though briefly and more simple, of those older and mightier simplifications. "Don't give up the ship!" "We reply in the enemy, and he is ours." The reply is the same. Funston's characteristic phrase was equally American. It was, too. Yet the foregoing exchange of signals, picturequee and significant as it is, has not heretofore been published, at least not widely. The story is hidden away in the book, where the other day by a relative from a St. Paul Sailor Boy. He is Adolph C. Schroeder. Formerly a clerk at the Bank of Minnesota, he enlisted in the summer of 1888 as a naval recruit. He was a rugged old flagship, the Hartford, he voyaged from San Francisco to Newport, R. I. He was transferred to the battleship Indiana, and next to the gunboat Wilmington, the Philippines by way of the Suez canal. Rank of "ship's writer," who is a clerk or amanuensis for the captain. Young Schroeder, therefore, had the SUPREME COURT DECISION RELEASE privilege of accompanying the Vicksburg when it carried Gen. Funston's expedition from Manila to the east coast of Japan, where he brought back the little general of the army. The letter relating the story of the capture consists mainly of extracts from a diary. It conveys all that element of danger, the doubt, of hope and fear, that only diaries can give. As interpreting the point of view of a petty officer, the letter illustrates the fraternal sympathy that goes so far in effecting the effective invincibility of our navy. Vickersburg Leaves Manila. The Vickersburg left Manila March 6 with Glenwood and four Maccabees under "sealed order." But official security is no more secret in the navy than in civil life. For, albeit no reporter made inquiries, the news it contained was on the following day. The sealed order it was rumored, were orders to capture Arnaldo through the treacherous media of Colonels Flacido and the Segovia, formerly known as Fenston's staff. Twenty-four hours later the sealed envelope became so transparent as to inform everybody aboard the Vickersburg that a letter was sent to informifying him of the approach of reinforcements and pre-trained American prisoners. The route of the Vickburg was from Manila around the northwest "corner" of Luzon and Shenzhen northwest to Kasigurun sound, where, on the east coast of the island, the "Toward night," says the diary, under date of March 12, "we headed into land again, and about 11:30 o'clock we entered Kasigurun sound. It is surrounded by high hills on all sides. A perfect sight for landing the soldiers-dark, with a dizzying vibration we heavy melted shortly after midnight we anchored. No ports aboard except below, where ports are closed with battle shutters. All preparations are made sleightly."—Could Capt.

They went down the court to visit the American garrison at Baker, and didn't start running. Not a man was allowed to go ashore. The man he might inadvertently betray the secret of the expedition. On reaching Kokusigura bay Monday afternoon a boat was sent to the shore. The man was to leave word for the Vickershaw "no information to be had. Natives hereabouts all 'insurrections.'

Nc messenger was sent to meet the Vickersburg at Kaziguran because Punston decided not to secret it but to burn his ships behind him. Additional to the usual account of the capture, it is mentioned that "after Col. Picado, nominally in command of the Maceboates and the American prisoners (7), had exchanged congratulations with Aguinado, the dictator picked out ten of his officers, and sent them to the prisoners. This weakened his own force from fifty to forty men. Col. Segavia, the other insurgent officer with our forces, excused himself to Aguinado, saying he was going to have his men come down to the house. He said he was saying and Sultate the pictator. "Segovia steps out, and orders his men to line up, so as to half surround the house, cut off all retreat to the river back of the house, and get in front of the pilipinas. At the next sixteen minutes, the boat breaks and run. But Aggie thinks it's a joke, till Segovia cries out: 'This is the day for the Macabee! Surrender!' and segovia sings and swings and struggling, is many praises this time Funston and his hides have arrived on the scene. Their guards and arrived on the scene. They to cheer our men. Half an hour later. THE SEAT ANXIOUS surgents have disappeared, Aguinaldo and his principal officers have surrendered. “Only a little Filipino bugler remains to do his duty and arouse the insurgents that are camped all over” the country round about. He lifts his bugle to give the “assembly call,” and is shot in the right arm. Clutching the bugle with his left hand he raises it again, then falls before a volley at short range. As soon as possible Funston ordered our doctor to examine the bugler. The brave boy was not fatally wounded. Funston took him by the hand and ordered his wolves dressed. On the ship, going back, the bugler received much attention from both Funston and Aguinaldo, and was soon the friend of everybody. He’s a plucky little fellow and he’ll make a good American. "Funston and his men barricaded themselves that night and started the next morning for the coast, only eight miles distant. Funston said later that those forty-eight hours after the night were the most trying in his life. But the natives, thick as they were, didn't muster up courage enough to make an attack. They didn't know we were about, and they were probably waiting for a good chance at night while Funston would be on the march." "When Funston reached the coast he could see nothing off shore except the mast of a distant vessel that might be a Filipino craft. We were then making for the opening fire, topped with smoky green wood. We discovered the smoke, and well—the rest you know." Gen. Funston is a gentle, unassuming man. He's about the same size and weight as M. Bean of St. Paul. "Agungaldo, too, is very polite and quiet. I got his autograph after some trouble. The words he wrote mean, 'Dedicated in remembrance on this day,' March Boat Returning. Containing Aguinaldo and His Principal Officers Captured by Gen. Funston. Gregg and others too numerous to mention "There were three of the Younger. The youngest was known as "Bob," and he was badly wounded about the time of their capture. In Minnesota and afterwards died in prison. The authorities of the prison allowed his beys to be brought home. I believe, and buried among those who had been killed, were a few of them. The main reason. They have many nephews and nieces all over the country. Mrs. Kit Rose is one of these. Mrs. Hall another; has a numerous family; Judge Jones, formerly of Cass County, but now of Texas, has a numerous family. I suppose everybody knows why the Younger was killed. He was not a banker and killed a man while doing it. I do not believe that of the half dozen and more who were concerned in it the king of the man has ever been fixed upon any member of the band, but surely the Younger brothers were participants in it. For this they were locked up in the cellar. The youngest of the youngest, whose count of the inability of their youngest brother to ride in the saddle. They surrendered, confessed and were sent to the sententary for life. "I believe in the doctrine of restitution, I believe that the Younger could have been expelled from the city for the crime against the great city, and they were not in any way a result, not only of robbing the bank in conjunction with others, but also of killing one of the officers of the bank who was trying to defend his property. It is every demand of the law to give a better view of that kind should he ever be satisfied. I believe that the Younger brothers themselves thought so for their Increased those who too face a foolishy incarceration put on foot a foolishly zealous programme for their release. If I am correctly informed, and I know that I am, for I never heard it disputed, not one single word of impatience has ever escaped my mind. I have no序言, but the fact that I have submitted, though and still, up under their rate uncompainably, and to that extent have commanded the respect of chivalric and heroic people everywhere. I do not wish to impugn the people who have been so far, and, after, being repeated why one, or deter others from repeating the same, and to think a laudable effort to secure their their death, I do think that if many of these impracticable advocates for a termination of their incarceration had stayed away from Stillwater, and I have been a good person. I will never seen them, a better�ple of the young men who have prevailed possibly in that neighborhood. I do not, however, make this criticism of all, but surely of many who have talked to me. I have no thought of the future, and I do not, I presume, were doing and trying to do. I improve for me to say I shall not have a good person. I do not, I suppose, be like I am. It is possible for those men to make result for the crime which they committed against the peace and dignity of the United States and the good citizens of the grave, this time, in my opinion, has arrived at, and I am not in the opinion of this position I must say that for thirty-five years I have constantly and alligently made inquiry as to whether there were incarcerated in our Missouri state, a person or person for crimes based on the same or different war, or which in anywise grew out of any of the conditions of the war.

Fu learned he was in the penitentiary for a trivial offense, but called "grand" larceny. In keeping with this spirit which is actuating me to move in behalf of the Younger, appreciated or not, right or wrong, I immediately began to work for his liberation. Last Monday morning, just before the outgoing governor, Mr. Lon V. Stephenson, was leaving the executive office forever, I reached his office, stated my case, undertook to exhibit my petition with the signatures to it, but the governor declared he was then on his feet ready to leave the office forever, but he stopped long enough to sign the pardon for the son of the old soldier. I told him that the prisoner was the son of a federal soldier, and that I felt I loved it. I felt it to him to make that last appeal. I felt it personal to me because his more prostrate, and his young wife heartbroken but faithful. Then I begged as a personal friend, and as Democrat for the favor. It is enough to say the appeal reached the governor's heart, and an unconditional pardon was issued. That night at 11 o'clock the son of the old soldier was on his way home. The next morning there was a knock upon the door of his mother's humble cot. The father and mother heard it, while on their sick bed, but the door was opened by one of them. The scenes, the scenery and exclamations of surprise and joy are not describable.

YOUNGER BROTHERS ARE DES CENDANTS OF LIGHT HORSE Col. John T. Crisi Writes of Easey Days of the Youngers and Gives Their Family History. The fact that there is before the Minneapolis deptile a bill which will make possible the marriage of the youngest man has groused interest in the careers of the two men who for thirty years has groused interest in the title penitentiary at Stillwater. Col. John I. Criss, a Missurian, who knew the members of the family very well, and who was mistreated during the past decade to secure their release, gives an interesting account of the early career of the brothers to the Minnesota City Times, which reads as follows: "I presume I am as familiar as anyone and His Principal Officers Captured by leston. Minnesota, I have never cared to say much about this, for I have felt that it would do them no good and would simply be gratifying a morbid curiosity. They have been in prison, however, so long that I feel that all the facts at least as I know them, should be stated. The general impression is that they will remain in prison for the balance of their lives, and I know that I am going over, and I am much as nearly all of my centrales have or are passing over the river beyond not to come back again, a frank statement of all I know about them and their Minnesota episodes might be pointing to their feelings and help them while away the last hours of their lives with the pleasing reflection that there are those in the world who would not have forgotten them in their former Missouri home. The Youngers belong to a race of people who would not fear the stake if it stood between them and the performance of a selfish act. It was very well understood and always talked, immediately after their apprehension and incarceration, and some time, too, that the Youngers were the only states were conducted to the place where the others were led by a. Minnesota, who was rather too, that these vast sums of money for which they went belonged to Jews, and Jews who had no real friends in the country. Besides, the person who made these representations expressed himself as disliking them for other reasons. As everybody knows, the Youngers were outlaws. They lived anywhere and everywhere. It may not be amiss to give a brief statement as to how they became outlaws. "It took a great deal of courage for a man to Jackson county, Missouri, in the terrible period between the closing of the year 1860 and the beginning of the war in 1861 to take sides with the Union, more popularly known then as 'Lincoln' and the Abolitionists, but characteristic of every other state, was a longer, longer, and more known side with the Union than was known by everybody as a stand Union man. So high stood he in the estimation of all substantial people, and there were none others in Jackson county at that time, being all solid planters and farmers, that no one ever called into question by word, look or manner, his right to the right to the right to the right to the right to the right, and that the fact was known without many that the fact was known without any.

These Younger brothers were not then of age, being yet boys, as I understand it. All these things naturally would have kindled resentment in anybody, and especially persons of their high orcedity. They did what many other young men who had kindred experiences did; they felt the proper thing for them was to join any command that killed and that did not wear federal uniforms. They were as noted guerrillas, perhaps, as any of the men who associated with Quentrell Todd. Anderson Clements Haller."

APPEAL, 49 East 4th St., St. Paul, Minn. SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1901. Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones preached his annual Decoration Day sermon last Sunday in Chicago, taking for his subject, "The Rise of the Black Man." His sermon was bristling with good things throughout and among other things he paid this tribute to Paul Laurence Dunbar: "Much as I hate war, I would accept the bitter experience again and march over every foot of the ground that I traversed from 1862 to 1865 for the sake of knowing that the slave mother was permitted to give birth to the child that became an elevator boy and who in due time was the guest of English nobility, the honored poet laureate of the Negro race, deserving and receiving the praise that belongs to a poet irrespective of rank or color." The whole world stands amazed at the present unprecedented prosperity of the United States. There never has been a time in the history of any country when the conditions equalled it. All classes of people, the laborer, the farmer, the dealer and the manufacturer are enjoying this substantial prosperity, and it is a monument to the wise policy of the Republican party to A man stands on a ship, looking out at the sea. He is wearing a hat and a coat. The ship is docked at a pier, with a railing visible in the foreground. The background features a cityscape with buildings and a bridge.

The best proof of any policy or theory is the results of its practical operation. We are now enjoying such results that prove the Republican doctrine of "prosperity" meant something. We are inclined to think the people of Logan county, Ohio, will not be in a hurry to mob and tar and feather people after this. The good (?) citizens of West Liberty, O., became indignant at the relations which were alleged to exist between David Rickman and Ed Jackson and a white woman named Mrs. Nell Jackson and so they organized a mob and tarred and feathered them and drove them out of town. The outraged trio entered suit against the county and a jury last week awarded Rickman $2,000, Jackson $1,000 and Mrs. Jackson $7,000 damages. Mob law is a bad thing anyway you take it. The trials growing out of the race riots in New Orleans last July have all turned out to be failures because Henry M. Mabry, whose mother was killed by the mob and who had pointed out the murderers and made affidavits of their guilt, confessed the other day that he had committed perjury. He must have been well paid to make such a confession when his own mother was murdered by the mob, and we hope he will get the full limit of the law. The Houston (Tex.) Post referring to Alabama convention, says: "Alabama has called a convention whose real object is the disfranchising of the Negro. What Alabama as well as the other states needs is a law which will make it necessary for a man to have a little, more sense than God gives geese before he is permitted to vote. The illiterate white man is as potent of harm in politics as is the Negro." And we say: "If not, why not?" Some folks say, one cannot get too much of a good thing, but faith in that assertion bids fair to be shaken, in view of the fact that one day last week Matt J. Flynn, a theatrical manager, died from the effects of drinking twenty-three bottles of champagne. Evidently he got too much of a good thing. Majcr Taylor on last Monday defeated the French champion bicyclist, Jacquelin, at Paris, France, and now the headlines of the dailies refer to Taylor as the "American cyclist." When he was at home the L. A. W. would not admit him to membership because he was not white. Nearly eight thousand people committed suicide in Germany last year.

The others, Charles Watkins and Louis Cloyd, are not dangerously wounded. Riley for the affections of a girl, and the statement that Baker could not buy ice cream, occasioned the trouble. The theological department of Howard University celebrated its twenty- Aguinaldo Saluting the Officer as He Ca eighth anniversary Friday afternoon and evening in the Andrew Rankin chapel. The parting address to the graduating class was delivered by Rev. J. T. Stone, pastor of Brown Memorial Church of Baltimore, who succeeded Rev. Dr. Babcock a little over a year ago.

The graduates this year are thirteen in number, nine from the day course and four from the evening course. Dean Ewell drew attention to the fact that the theological department is evangelical, but not denominational. "We don't try to change a man's denomination," he said. Five members of the graduating class awarded to the Patronage was was "The World for Christ," and whose effort 'was also good. The committee on award was comprised of Rev. T. S. Hamil, D. D.; Rev. M.

Jones, Esq., the well-known barrister, gave a dinner Wednesday evening in honor of H. P. Cheatham, Hon. Cyrus Field Adams, W. Calvin Chase, Esq., and Prof. William H. Hart, of Howard University. It was a very pleasant affair. Northern men temporarily residing in Washington, gave a banquet last evening at the Odd Fellows' Hall to Hon. John P. Green, of Cleveland, O. Mr. Green is at present United States stamp agent. He has been a member of the Ohio general assembly and has held other positions of trust and responsibility. There was a large attendance of representative men at the banquet and the affair was a very enjoyable one. The speeches were both patriotic and political and generally touched on things of particular interest to the race. Mr. Green responded to the sentiment, "The President," and his talk was a very interesting one. The Alumni Association of the Washington High School held a largely attended meeting Saturday, May 25, at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church. The assembly was addressed by Dr. W. S. Montgomery, assistant superintendent of the public schools. An Time Over Gangway of the Vicksburg. First Boat Load of Funston's Party Rescue Agulnaido.

Refreshments were served with the compliments of the official committee. F. L. Cardozo, Jr., president, presided and M. Grace Storum was secretary. During his trial last week Arthur H. Harris, who was convicted in Criminal Court No. 1 of obtaining money under false pretenses, entered a queer plea as a defence. He claimed that he is an attorney and was justified in receiving the money he did as a fee. When examined as to when and where he studied law and why it was that he is not a registered attorney, Harris was unable to explain satisfactorily to the court and jury. Harris insisted that he studied law in the office of an eminent attorney in the state of Maine. He spent five years, he said, in endeavoring to master "Blackstone's famous poem," but gave it up because he disagreed with it and more than one point. At this stage of his career Harris said he turned to the study of philosophy and spent many years in the study of Plato. Harris said that he agreed with the ancient philosopher in all he said, particularly in reference to the immortality of the soul. A close cross-examination of Harris, however, developed the fact that although he claimed to have spent five years in the study of Blackstone, he did not know his definition of law or of how many volumes the commentaries consist. As a defence to this Harris said there are a great many who cannot answer these questions. One of the notable sales in real estate recently was the transfer of the property known as 1219 F street northwest, by Mrs. Julia Hanson to Mr. James S. Topham. The sale was conducted through Mr. C. H. Flickling, agent for Mrs. Hanson, and Messrs. Latimer & Nesbit, who represented the purchaser. Mrs. Julia Hanson is an Afro-American woman. She rented the property long before the war, and bought it in 1866, occupying it ever 99 1911.322 KMSP BOW VIEW OF V. CK. BU G N DRY DOCK Al. Sr. Fb. C. Hirrover de nuevo esta coma renunció may a 27.

She has defended her title to the property against all claimants through the District courts, Courts of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. During the taking of the testimony she was asked how she paid for it. Her answer was that she worked and paid for it, but that if she had been dishonest she could have been as rich as any woman; that two parties going South during the war left in her care $80,000, to be kept until they returned for it, which was done, and to them. On another occasion a lady left a box containing valuable, with its key, to be delivered to her upon her return, which was done. While she knew the contents to be most valuable, she never opened the box, though she often felt she would like to know just how much was left in her charge. During the war the paymasters of the United States government lived at her house, and in many instances she was intrusted with their cash boxes. On one occasion she required a paymaster's clerk to get an order from the paymaster before she would recognize his authority in the house, as occupants of her house many noted him, senators and representatives. She and her husband were caterers. *** Prof. Ferris, one of the Afro-American educators of Jacksonville, who lost all his possessions in the recent fire, spoke at the Second Baptist Church Lyceum Sunday afternoon, and criticised the Jacksonville authorities for their attitude toward the Afro-American community, paper reports that the Afro-Americans would not work, and asserted that they had been insulted and ill treated by those in charge of rebuilding the city. The speaker was introduced by President Thomas, of the Lyceum. Prof. Ferris told of instances where exorbitant prices wagons had been exorbitant prices goods of white people, only to have the money taken away from them at the point of a pistol.

He said the white and Afro-American people had been supplied by different commissaries, and while his people had been given only pork and the like, the white folks could get butter, eggs, flour and such supplies. The Afro-Americans, he said, were forced to cut, but brand-new clothing was given the white people. The Afro-Americans were the only ones who did work, he said. He had seen over one hundred with picks and shovels in one gang, and the only white people working were four or five men with umbrellas over them who officiated as overseers. He said people in the South did not think an Afro-American worked unless he had a pick or shovel, and that while the white clerks were too refined, the Afro-American teachers, teachers, and tradesmen were expected to work as laborers. He said respectable Afro-American citizens who had paid taxes had been held up and searched by militiamen on suspicion of plundering the ruins, Al. Sr. Fb. dedo esta huy a 27. M.

It was decided to send such funds as might be collected to Rev. Waldron, who formerly lived here, and other Afro-American men for aiding only the Afro-American people.

We were sitting on the rocks, on the margin of the best and largest pool, smoking and chatting, says Louis Becke, describing in the Leisure Hour how fish are drugged and caught in the Seas, when, at a sign from Kusls, you see a man with a chief of the village, the women took their bundles of oap, and laying the plants upon smooth portions of the reef, began to pound them with round, heavy stones brought from the village for the purpose. As each bundle was exuded, it was rolled into a ball, used like a sponge to wipe up and absorb all the liquid that had escaped, and then handed to the men and boys, who leaped into the pool and dived to the bottom, thrusting the balls of oap underneath every lower ledge and into the pool, and the surface and clamming out again. In less than five minutes the once crystal water had changed to a pale milky-white, thousands upon thousands of tiny fish about half an inch in length and of many hues began to rise to the surface; then others of a larger size, with small nets; then presently, with much suiling and foundering, two Mrs. Johnson—Sarah tells me she saves her. Mr. Johnson—I t or three of the handsome red fish, with a great leather jacket, came up and, lying on their sides, flapped helplessly on the surface. Other kinds, of the mullet species, came with them, trying to swim upright, but always falling over on their sides, and yet trying to lift their heads above the water as if gassing them. Then more big leather-jackets, some of which shot up from below as if they had been fired from a mortar, and, running head on to the rocky wall of the pool, allowed themselves to be lifted out without a struggle. It was most exciting and intensely interesting to witness. Out of this one pool—which, I think, was not more than fifteen yards across—we obtained many hundredweights of fish, and three turkey tail toes, which we beaten were thrown into other pools to recover from the effects of the oap.

Witers had planned for. The fare was 25 cents, including the admission fee, and everyone seemed to take advantage of the low rates.

One lady said she would rather pay two fares than ride in a car with unruly people. The callisticthen drill given under the management of Mrs. Cannon was a success, both financially and otherwise.

CAUGHT A WILD GOOSE Bird West Ekaunted and Was Captured by Hand. One morning, recently, as James Drury was at his usual work about the stable of Frederick Deming, on North street, Litchfield, says the Waterbury American, his meditations, were disturbed by horse cries of "Honk," "Honk," "Honk," and looking up he saw a book of a dozen wild geese flying slowly a few hundred yards away. As he watched, three of the geese ville. Mrs. Baxter ears. dropped in the woods on the Fitzgerald place, exhausted by their flight. James said to himself: "By gum, if they will only wait a few minutes I will try to get a shot at them." So he went to the house and procured a gun. After whistling for Dudley Deming's famous bird dog, James sailed forth, and just as he was climbing the barbed wire fence that surrounds the woods he saw the dog, come to a point a few feet ahead. Making a quick spring from the fence (much to the detriment of his trousers), he thrust himself down on the ground and walked along in the direction the dog was coming from and a pair of pants and a vest of him a fine large goose, and just as he was about to draw a bead on it, what the good of shooting him when I can catch him in my hands? So he laid the gun aside and gathering himself together leaped toward his prey. At the same moment the fowl flapped his wings and rose slowly into the air. PERHAPS missing Jim's outstretched arms by a narrow margin. But the goose was too tired to fly far, and it settled down again under an evergreen tree. Jim repeated his former tactics and crept up on the bird until he was near enough to make a rush. Again the goose rose in the air, but the branches of the tree hindered it, and before it, the bird into the open Jim made a leap into the air, caught the goose on the fly with its legs. The goose, which is a fine large specimen, was carried to the sturble in triumph and placed in a coop, where it has been visited by scores of people daily. ONE-RAIL ELECTRIC ROADS Two Miles a Minute in Ireland, France and Belgium. One of the oddest spectacles in the transportation business is the sight of an electric car running two miles or more a minute on a one-rail track. Even if it appeared feasible, on a casual examination one would say that it was about the most dangerous form of traveling that could be devised. The electric car would reverse, judging by the records of the electric mono-railroads which are in existence. There is one in Ireland, another in France and a third in Belgium, and it is proposed now to build one in England to run between Manchester and Liverpool. $34\frac{1}{2}$ miles, it is said by the projectors of the company, proudly points to eighteen minutes. The line in Ireland, from Listowel to Ballybunnion, ten miles, has been running thirteen years, and the company proudly points to the fact that in that time there has not been a single accident on the road. The cars and the engine are suspended from the steel rail that runs about three feet from the ground. The center of gravity of the cars is below the rail, which takes away the possibility of the trains leaving the track. An odd arrangement of the "points," as railroad switches, are called in Great Britain, is seen at the terminals of the line, a section of the rail running from the station to one of several tracks. The use of electric power permits the employment of a novel kind of block. In a line of any considerable length these blocks would be, say, four miles long. When a train is in one block the current would be that to block, and the block that these blocks would rear-end collides. Thus, no two trains going in the same direction could get within four miles of each other—New York Press. Mrs. Springer/Backs Down Within the last three months Mrs. Jennie Springer of Troy, Kan., has instituted as many suits for divorce against her husband, but each was dismissed before the time of trial. Last month, the court sent a lettering to the court house officials that her mind was unalterably fixed this time, and that there would be no, backing down. Two hours later the sheriff went to the Springer home to serve the couple, board, and found the pair "as loving as two kittens."—Indianaapolis News. The Fastest Trains. According to the Journal of German Engineers, the French railway trains, instead of, the British, hold the first place for speed, scheduled time being the basis for comparison. A regular train between Paris and Amiens makes the distance, 82 miles without stop, in an hour and a quarter, or at the rate of 33 miles per hour, the fastest regular train; in Great Britain makes 60 miles an hour, for a distance of only 33 miles, between Perth and Forza. In Germany a greater speed than 88 miles an hour is prohibited, but the fastest regular train makes only 32 miles, between Wittenberg and Hamburg. DR. O. D.

His theme was the environment of transportation facility where the advantages were that these advantages are coming so rapidly and with so little mention that most people do not appreciate them. On a stretch of the Webb recently, the coach said "several us were at breakfast. The coffee cups stood so-evenly that, although they were full, not a drop splashed over the sides. Conversation turned upon speed, and one who was at the table remarked that he had often desired to realize that the train was going sixty miles an hour, but he had his doubt about it, and did not indicate anything unusual. "At the time of this conversation the car upon which we were taking a meal did not seem to be making any unusual time. We discussed the sense of speed as it would be experienced by the traveler. As a matter of curiosity, he asked the conductor to register a warning at the end of the car. He came back and reported the train was going seven-four miles an hour."—Chicago Daily News.

RESULTS OF PEDANTRY. How the Early Printer Hurt the English Language. Both in "debt" and "doubt" the "D" is the result of sixteenth century pedantry, says the Pall Mall Gazette. In all our earlier literature these words, which came to us through the French and not direct from the Latin, were correctly spelled "det" or "dette", "dout" or "doute." The truth of the matter is that in consequence of the introduction of printing the spelling of the word was changed toward the end of the sixteenth century. The classical revival of that period accounts for many of the blunders in spelling which were then committed, but an even more serious cause of confusion was the foreign origin of the new art of printing. Most of the early printers were foreigners, and instead of cutting special types to represent the old English letters, they dropped letters out of the language altogether, leaving only following devices for representing English sounds. How little sanctity attaches to spelling thus established may be further gathered by observing how constantly our spelling used to adapt itself to the development of the language until printing stereotyped the combined pedantry and ignorance of the language, and how words taken from the Oxford Dictionary will sufficiently illustrate my point: Earth-Older forms: Irth, rurh, yterhe, herthe, yorth, earthe, yearth, orth. Heaven-Older forms: Hefen, heeon, heven, hevin, heven, hevyn. Worciflott 1832, hewed. Passion Letters, 1456, hede. Tindal, 1526, hede. Dead-Older forms: Daed, deed, dede, deid, deyle, dyle, dede. And I cannot conclude better than by quoting from the Vernon manuscript (1400) the following illustration of earlier spelling and perennial terms: "the quik and hol hounden bea a del lyon." Recently St. Louis girl who had just acquired her first bea heard some one of the world loves a lover—and she has jealous of the whole world ever since.
