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."

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. "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.

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.

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.

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.

We are inclined to think the people of Logan county, Ohio, will not be in a huiry to mob and tar and feather people atter this.

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.

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.

Harris, who was convicted in Crimin- al Court No. 1 of obtaining money un- der false pretenses, entered a queer plea as.a-defence,. He claimed that he is an attorney and’ was justified in re- ceiving. 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 en- deavoring to, master “Blackstone's Commentaries,” but gave it up because he disagreed: with that authority on 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 ail he said, particular- ly in reference to the immortality of the soul. A elo’e 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 comment- aries consist..

Her answer was that she worked and pald for it, but that if she had been dishonest she could have been as rich as eny 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 delivered to then:. On another oc- casion a lady going to Europe to join her daughter left a box containing her valuable, with its key, to be delivered to her upon her return, which was dene. While she knew the contents to be most valuable, she never opened the box, though she often felt she would Mike to know just how much was left in her charge. During the war the paymasters of the United States gov- ernment lived at her house, and in many instances she was intrusted with thelr cash boxes. On one occasion she required a paymaster’s clerk to get an otder from the paymaster before she would recognize his authority in the matter. She numbered as occupants of her house many noted men, senators jand representatives. She ' and her husband were caterers. Prof. Ferris, one of the Afro-Ameri- can educators of Jacksonville, who lost all his possessions in the’ recent fire, spoke at the Second Baptist Chureh Lyceum Sunday afternoon, and criticised the Jacksonville authorities for their attitude toward the Afro- American race. He denied the news- ‘paper reports thet the Afro-Americans ‘would not work, and asserted that ‘they had been insulted and {il treated by those in charge (uf rebuilding the city, ‘The speaker was introduced by President ‘Thomas, of the lyceum. ‘Prof. Ferris told of instances where ‘Afro-Americans with wagons had been paid exorbitant prices for removing ‘goods of white people, only to have the ‘money taken away from them at the ‘point of a pistol. The Afro-Americans of Jacksonville, he said, while the debris is being’ cleaned up, have not been permitted to walk on the side- walks. He said the white and Afro- American people had been supplied by Gifrerent commissaries, and while his people had been given only pork and the like, the white folks could get but- ter, eggs, flour and such supplies. ‘The Afro-Americans, he said, were forced to take second-hand goods or go with- cut, while brand-new clothing was given the white people. The’ Afro- Americans were the only ones who did work, he sald. He had seen over one hundred with picks and shovels in one gang, and the only white people work- ing were four or five men with um- brellas over them who officiated as overseers. He sald people in the South did not think an Afro-American work- ed unless he had a pick or shovel, nd that while the white clerks were too refined, the Afro-American teachers, clerks ‘and other semi-clerical trades- men were-expected to work as laborers. He said respectable Afro-American cit- zens who had paid taxes had been held up and searched by militiamen on suspicion of plundering the ruins. Prof. Miller, Mr. Smith, Prof. Layton, and others condemned ill-treatment of their Southern Kinsfoli, and. asserted that the time had come to resent such tactics. 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. The twenty-seventh annual com- mencement of the Law School of How- ard University was held Monday even- ing at the First Congregational Church. ‘The edifice was crowded with spectators.

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. The pedigree of honey Does not concern the bee; A clover, any time to him, Is aristocracy. HT. DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

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.

Contec caps Which Failed to Reoord the ‘Speed of the Tralu, ‘To a Washington group Col. Wells H, Blodgett of St. Louis told a story ‘of railroad travel which caused his hearers to marvel. His theme was the Improvement of transportation facil ities in the United States. His atgu- ‘ment was that these advantages are ‘coming so rapidly and with so little mention that most people do not ap- preciate them. “On a stretch of the Wabash recent. ly," Col. Blodgett said, “several of 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 remark- ed that he had often desired to realize what a rapid rate meant,” quotes. the New York Mail and Express, “He sald he had often been on the New York Central when it was claimed that the train was going sixty miles an hour, but he had his doubt. about it, becatise the Jar did not indicate any- thing 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 niatter o# curiosity, ‘we asked the conductor to look at the ‘registering apparatus at the end of the car. -He came back and reported the train was going'seventy-tour miles an hhour.”—Chicago Daily News. “Con” Talk is about all there is to some advertisements, especially in the clothing business, It is absolutely necessary to convince an intelligent buyer that he is buying a $15.00 or $20.00 suit for $5.00.

How the Early Printor Hurt the English Tanguage: Both In “debt” and “doubt” the “b" 4s the result of sixteenth century pe- dantry, says the Pall Mall Gazette, Im all’ our earlier Uterature these words, which came to us through the French-and not direct from the Latin, were correctly epelled “det” or “dette,” “aout” or “doute.”” Tho truth of the matter is that in consequence of the introduction of printing the spelling of our language became crystallized to- ward the end of the sixteenth century. ‘The classical revival of that perlod accounts for many of the blunders in spelling which were then committed, Dut-an even more serious cauise of con- fusion 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 these letters out of the language alto- gether and introduced various foreign 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 lan- guage until printing stereotyped the combined pedantry and ignorance of @ particular epoch. ‘The following words taken from the Oxford Diction- ary will sufficfently iMlustrate my point: ‘Karth—Older forms: irthe, rth, yerthe, herthe, yorth, earthe, yearth, orth. ‘Heaven—Older forms: Hefen, neo- fen, hevven, hevin, heven, hevyn. Head—Wyelif, 1382, heved. Paston Letters, 1450, hedde. Tindal, 1626, heede, Dead—Older forms: Daed, ded, deede, deld, deyde, dyde, dedde, And I cannot conclude better than by quoting from the Vernon manu- script (1400) the following illustration of earlier spelling and _perenntal truth: “Better Is a quik and hol hounde then a ded lyon.” Recently a St. Louis girl who had Just acquired her first beau heard some fone say that all the world loves a Jover—and she has been jealous of the whole world ever since. ‘When you hear a man say that life is but a dream tread on his corns and you will wake him up to the fact that it is real—Chicago News, EQUAL SUFFRAGISTS GLAD, Raletee ‘That Womes May Practice Law Suiza threat ars tae eee st aut os Geeage Dar women’ fon ieee "ny i Feu dae ea Spe ts iialvag toner ne he of te ier RSUTh cues nossa Bod Oe Tete a te Fadl ar weautens ta" tule te io bones wae ie Wola hoe ae eee oe sos ae Crue Oe ects ie cot Cones Sree Tisha tte of meee oe wee arse Maer at nas ia Sees tenn How tai reed whe woe toni omer anys te se jfasane rset eae, agp ttle See fe cine fee ih shots wena te Stns ie es of Hotei Raat yee See Aiea ably Pare tntotts ae tou os to master ae mins eat Gated ake cae meu cerareh sees ot ShGS “thet aa const or more thas ame of tent “ase fe cnet et Sit foots opt at vs ieeyen i nee dua Fear oieag sa sues a ‘as that of which tietime-honored. law Sucay Seer Seen Srent aos ogi eae ora a he aang noua a Temurt ake Gtattecs ak roe, neared Soe ee Cee Shanes, bes been tn force A Drink Cost $1,000, Harry Vokes, a member of the Ward and Vokes company, which has been playing at the Bastable theater, made 8 contract with E.
