The Appeal

VOL. 17. NO. 33. UCSON, Ariz. 5-In the little mining camp of Sing, Ariz. there is a golden toothpick well, propietor of the Spider Brand ranch, preserves as the last relic of Bibise Bill, the fiercest, strongest and grittest tarantula that ever reared on his last pair of hairy legs. He was a colorful corset of an opposing warrior of his own race. The toothpick is one of the two stout fangs with which Bibise Bill, himself dying, killed Hairy Gila, the white elephant, brought in to fight Maxwell's pet in the White Elephant six years ago. Maxwell had that fang set in a golden toothpick, not because he believed that the fang was tarantula it is sure cure for the toothpick, because it was through the game fight old Bibise Bill put up for Maxwell on the end of the bar in the White Elephant that Maxwell won the $4,000 which set the beginning of his prescience. In all the realm of the wide world there **no animal, great or small, as immitely ferocious against his own race as are** the wild animals of the west, who are somewhat loosely called tarantulas. The real tarantula is the spider of Italy, whose bite was thought to set all sufferers to dancing and had a terrifying effect. The New Mexico and Arizona is a larger, fiercer spider, with more sinner anger wrapped up in his black heart than all the rest of the animal world put together, and only animal, save man, that will kill the females of its own species without apparent provocation. For two male tarantulas to be shaken down on a blanket and fight to the death. One or the other must be dead before that fight ends. And it does not need any "sickening on," either Just let an old male tarantula set one on fire. Doc Trotter, who is the best educated gentleman in the territory, once explained that the she tarantula was really plucked and admitted that she tarantulas will not cut a dash in the tarantula fights the boys pull off Sundays in the various camps, and on which many a man has been killed. He explained that the female would fight the world, the flesh and the devil for the sake of her young, which, the Doc argued, was surely a gritter thing than for two old he spiders to tear each other apart. He told the little, since anybody would fight for fun. To prove his contention the Doc rode out on the desert one morning early, and took a bird home after a night's hunting for hunting birds and such small fry, and rounded him up a big old female that was toting a cacoon full of eggs. He then took the cacoon and slag and showed the boys a thing or two. He got him a long stick-for it does not pay to be intimate with a tarantula—and poked away that caccoon. The old girl was stunned that her sister was attached four of her legs around her and her eight little eyes got red mad. With her other four eyes she nudged up that stick to close in with the Doc. He was stunned that the old girl fought the Doc dummy for almost half her legs were gone. She never did aim to quit those eggs till she was all manched up. At last the Doc got the top up, and the fight went out of the big spider. She took her legs around her, collapsed, and died to a broken heart. No tarantula is going to die just because she has lost a leg and grows some more heart, den's up and grows some more heart, the old eggs were snatched from her she was ready to pass up the game right there. So the Doc smoked the caccoon over to her brain, and she was all life in a moment. Fitting Memorial to a Great American A Building in Honor of Gen. Francis A Walker, Soldier, Publisher and Educator, to Be Erected by Alumni of Massachusetts Institute of Technology - It Will Cainip, Unique Provision for Physical Culture. OSTON, Aug. 5. -The sum of $100,000 out of $175,000 required has been subscribed by about 1,200 alumni and former students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. OSTON, Aug. 5.—The sum of $100,000 out of $175,000 required has been subscribed by the school to the students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a memorial building to the late Gen. Francis A. Walker, for fifteen years, president of the institute. The last $50,000 was awarded to the school's year's graduating class. The objects of the new building, which is practically assured by this contribution of the alum, are particularly appropriate in view of Gen. Walker's vigorous and alert personality. On the one hand it is meant to provide a social center for the institute to meet its needs, and everywhere in the midst of a crowded city; and, on the other, by virtue of certain unique appointments which it is to contain, it is intended to be a headquarter for a systematic process of physical training, which it is expected will be in many ways, in which it is yet attempted on so large a scale. The new building—the Walker memorial, as it will be called—has a large part in the man whom it interest, of courses, from the man whom it interest, of courses, from much as any Bostonian of recent years Gen. Walker belongs to the whole country, but he probably best remembered for his association minister of an important educational institution, he won a national reputation for his work and head of the Indian school system, and for his tenth census; a local reputation for his services in connection with the art and park commissions, the public library; and his native city of Boston; and genuinely international repudiate by his economic writ- MAXWELL CAPTURES BISBEE BILL She rot a diamond hilt on that nest and prepared to meet all comers. We all allowed to let her go after that, but Red her there in with the fandons and saw her there in with the fandons and saw a bit uneasy about his own condition, a snap at her with his gun, just to make sure she was real. But it was the old male tarantulas that used to round up and keep in empty cages for the night, a cow man does not love a tarantula any more than he loves a scorpion or a vinegaron or a glia monster. There are boys who have been on the range for years, and a rope around them when they bed down on the plains to keep tarantulas out of their blankets. A tarantula does not savvy* a rope, and thinks it will hurt his hairs as his crawls over it. So, when the rainy days come, they take out of their holes, and they take to rambling nights, the boys coil hairlariats around their blankets. The tarantula of this territory may not be the real Italian boy, he tells about, but he is certainly organized to make a man dance if he bites him It got so, a while back, that Monte was seriously injured by tarantula fighting. It is no trouble to get a tarantula hostile. All you have to do is to shake a couple of your hands and tie up an blanket and war is 'declared' soon as they see each other. Such a war it is, too! Cockfighting is just a sham battle beside it. Dog fighting is a mere scarcely visible side of tarantula scraps. There is no need to attack unless it is a couple of stallions clashing but a good stallion is too valuable a brute and needs too much scenery to set him off, in a fight to be convenient like tarantula contests. So the boys, when they need too much scenery to keep early mornings used to ride with them with the sun to spot unusually big tarantulas to add to the camp's string. Sometimes the cook would have a dozen of them in the chuck wagon when the outfit came back to the home ranch. The cook was glorious "trying out" till the outfit had three or four survivors that filled them with hope. Into some cow town or mining camp the boys would ride, splitting the wind, some Sunday to meet the tarantulas of a rival outfit, which always cowboys back on unsaddled horses, having lost everything on some big hairy spider whom they backed to win out. Stampedpe Maxwell was round-up-boss on the J. I. T. ranch at the time he found Bissle Bill. Stampedpe was the man buster in that part of Arizona. There he worked who think that he was the best in the team. He was Prifitter than the average. He brand Gen. Walker occupied, indeed, during his crowded life of fifty-seven years, something like thirty widely differing offices, including the teaching of Latin and Greek at a country academy, lectureships at Johns Hopkins and Harvard university, the teaching of technology and the of American Statistical association; and the vice presidency of the National Academy of Science, the Military Historical Society of Massachusetts, the American Society for the Promotion of Profit Sharing, and the society of engineers. He was connected with the two engineering positions held in this country, acting as chief of the bureau of awards at the centennial and as chairman of the Massachusetts board of managers at the world's fair at Chicago. He was an officer of the bureau of Honor, and was one of the five recipients of the awards of laws at the tencentery of the University of Dublin—an honor which was later duplicated by the University of Edinburgh. In the Civil war he enlisted as a private and received his discharge as a captain of the staffs of Warren, Couch and Hancock was wounded at Chancellerville, was captured, escaped, swam the Appomattox river, and was retaken and confined for their involvement in Liberty prison. His name was remembered in Library prison engagements. As an author—and a bibliography of his writings and addresses published by the American Statistical association covers nearly sixteen pages—his book, *The Great Treatise ever issued on the Indian question*, a volume entitled "Money" which is an accepted text-book in many foreign universities; three text books on the subject, *The Great Treatise ever issued on the Indian question* is said to be the most widely used of all text-books on this subject; and an essay "Wages and the Wage Fund"—which an accepted doctrine in the same science is used in the statistical atlas of the United States, which one authority has called "a revelation of the capacity of graphic representation." The new memorial building, however, though it will stand as a monument to all these varied activities, naturally commemorates particularly the service of Gen. Walker as president of the institute, 1851, and which he held his death in THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY AUGUST 17, 1901. cowherain, being ambitious to have cows of his own. In other days he might have been in other iron tied to his saddle and have inducted them to herd that way, but in these latter days the cattle associations have frowned successfully on such thriftiness. So staplemets were used to herd the cattle he was an extraordinary cowboy. The days of free grass were past, and he had to buy a stretch of water right before he was in the herd. He had got together $1,000 of his money man down in San Antone died suddenly of heart disease, caused by the excitement of being shot in that organ, and Staplemets was more. But $3,000 was not quite enough. At that time the fame of Hairy Gila had spread through Southern Arizona along the lines of the Southern Pacific. Hairy Gila was a tarantula owned by Hinkley. He was the master of the White Elephant. It was said that he stroked one of the tin plates which was an important part of the cook's outfit. He had fought twenty battles with spiders brought from far and near, and won twenty victories. Apparently he had been much hurt, which is strange. It is not so that a tarantula comes out of a fight which is long legs. Hinkley used to say that Hairy Gila had won $10,000 for him, and it is probably near the truth. Hinkley had a little cage made for his spider and to keep him on exhibition in his place, he placed pasted above the cage offering to them of four to three at all comers up to any one of the exact wording of the place being: The Bridle Is Plumb Off.' Stampede heard of the challenge. The beaten on the J. I. T. used often to discuss it. It was known to them who had been to Tucson recently by declaring that it was mere folly to sham the tarantula against Hairy Glia unless you could find one that could straddle a plate had an arm that would just about turn it over and used to smoke his cigarette thoughtfully when Hairy Glia was discussed.

Even with no more expenses than a cowboy who stays out of town on quarter days it takes a long time to save a few thousand dollars out of $50 a month, but the other gambles were going to leave him a stake. However, he had his three thousand down in the bank at Phoenix, and gradually, there grew in him a determination to find some tarantula to more than double that stake for him by whipling Hairy Gila. So he took to watching a man play the bilbee as he rode. Stamped peep hole Bill over in the foothills about Shag, the best part tarantula keeps in the hot desert, but evidently Bilbee Bill was a misanthrope and had left his kind. Perhaps he had condemned himself to perpetual solitude because there were no tarantula for him to conquer. He had a rock in a hole under the edge of a rock he had taken. Usually the tarantula spins him in around his hole to keep the rain out but Boyle O'Reilly, memorial near the entrances of the Back Bay Fens in Boston, is notable for a certain idealism as well as for genuine characterization of the more human side of his subjects; and certainly lost nothing in this instance from the fact that he was an intimate friend of the artist, called upon to portray. The busiest in the Rogers building, at the entrance of the offices of the institute. The new memorial building is to be an adequate tribute, both in appearance and purpose, to the man it honors. It will be devoted in large part, as has been said, to practical culture. In the arrangements for this tribute, the other departments will outwhelm the mere cultivation of muscle. The gymnasium proper will be rather a laboratory devoted to practical instruction in useful physical development than a gymnasium in the ordinary school. The gymnasium will produce healthy and soundly, developed men and not so much to break records or send out winning athletic teams, although the building will naturally become the center of the interests. A department of physical culture will be added to the regular instruction of the institute, to be begun as soon as the new building is ready for occupancy. The department of this new department has been outfitted by a District Pritsch in a recent address. "The department of physical culture," he said, "shall have for its object, not' the development of athletics in the acute form, the instruction of the entire student body in the training of the student them as to proper rules of exercise. shall make a physical inspection of each student who enters, and shall prescribe for him in the light of such inspection of his needs. At the head of the department shall be a man able to advise students, not only concerning their diet and exercise and the general care of their health. In other words it will do for the physical education that the other departments do for the intelligence. There is no building in the word with functions of just this kind. His social side will perhaps be no less important. The institute, situated as it is in front of a large city, has had neither a dormitory nor a university, although a dormitory for students has been about to be erected as a private enterprise, and the Technology club, which is Bisbee Bill had built him a barricade of sticks. It was this that first attracted Stampede's eyes. He jumped down to investigate and found the hole so large that he felt sure he had at last come a tarantula that could straddle a plate. Fortunately some proprietor had erected a monument of stones to mark a claim near there and had filed papers in a meat tin. Stampede got his tin and night it over handy before he dug out the stone. He was a taller, a graceful, hairy black fellow, with mouse-colored spots and mandibles like lions' claws. He was full of fight. Instead of scurrying away, he made for Stampede's boots, and the cowboy almost himself. But at last he had a spider to save himself. But at last he had a piece of leather out from the leg of his chaps. In camp the boys went crazy over Bisbee Bill. They wanted to take him over the work. Occasionally and challenge the work of his new Gallop saddle for the tarantula. But Stampede told them about his plan the only place where students can mingle, except for purposes of study, is open only to students of some years' stand-up classes and undergraduates, the whole. The life of students there, if ever, has lacked much of the attraction of college life, and the students have had little opportunity, except by groups, for the intimate association so generally conceived. Quite apart from its usefulness in the directions just indicated, the Walker Memorial is intended to meet this want, and in meeting it suggests comparison with the other colleges at the University of Pennsylvania, recently established practically the same object; that, is to "draw together students, officers and alumni in all of departments of the university in a wholesome social life and to provide a place for them to meet." The Walker Memorial will be, in short, a great club, of which every "Teck" student is ex-officio a member, and in which every student will have the opportunity to meet and know his companions. The building itself has been designed by the institute department of architecture. It will stand in Trinity place, a few steps from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and will well be called the technology district of Boston—the district, that is, in the immediate neighborhood of Copley square. It will cover something over 10,000 square of land and will include a basement for the library and a memorial room with a serving room adjoining, and a library and other rooms for social purposes. The gymnasium will occupy nearly the entire fourth floor and will be equipped with a systematic work by classes of fifty men, probably in connection with the regular first year work of the institute, and enough lockers to accommodate every undergraduate, is expected that the gymnasium will be a small dinners room, a kitchen and serving room are accordingly planned in connection with it. In the top of the building will be the handball court, and the gymnasium will be a large one, after looking over the architecture plan one feels that here is a building which Galen Walker himself would have most liked to see a building, therefore, which every one must feel is the best possible place for a deviled life—Public Burrow, Boston. THE BRIDLE IS PLUMB OFF for fighting Harry Gila, and the boys were mad with delight. They turned loose a few smaller tarantulas, because they didn't want Blisse Bill to be in trouble with big fight. The way Blisse Bill killed them, and the hearts of the outfit with pungy joy. Stampede reasoned his tarantula would not improve with captivity, so he slipped away with him the next day. He did not let, the boys know he was going. because he was the honor of the outfit would impel them to the last of their possessions. He was willing to risk his own stake, but he did not want the boys to go broke. In a little Western town, the other day, the most popular citizen soundly whipped a tough character, and to vindicate the majesty of the law the offender was brought up for trial. The jury were out and the judge said, "Just judge, what have the jury to say? May it please the court, responded the foreman, "were the jury, and that the Stories of Phillips Brooks In his biography of Phillips Brooks, Alexander V. G. Allen of Cambridge tells of a clergyman who was going abroad, in jest of bringing back a new religion, and some trouble in getting it through the custom house," some one remarked. "No," observed Bishop Brooks; "we may take it for granted that a new religion would be introduced to the nation, for the sake, no doubt, of argument, once drew attention to the fact that some men, calling themselves atheists, seemed to lead moral lives, and Brooks promptly said, "They have to be," said they "have no God to forgive them if they don't."

He snuck his arms at the second blood. Bill's legs and ripped it off in no time. Then he tackled another leg. But that one seemed wired on. Bisbee Bill pursued other tactics. His one aim seemed to be to job for the body. He snuck his arms into the first blood. His hairy legs on his opponent, but struck and chewed at the body of Hairy Gla. Now, Hairy Gla was provided by nature with something very near Harveyzelized steel armor. Time and time again the curved armor on top of his foe's head, which counted considerably, though Hinkey merely swerded at such tactics. Once, in a long, slicing stroke, Stampede's spider angrily his fangs where two legs joined as quickly as if he had two legs slay as easily as if he had been slashed across by reaping hooks. "Oh, Lord!" granted Stampede, "if Bibee bee would only stick to that game I'd win just too easy. But he's letting himself attack the end to the fight in a single punch. At the end of ten minutes Bibsee Bill had only four legs left and seemed a whipped tarantula. He could not scurry the legs, but Gila was fighting with new fury. At last Bibsee Bill backed weekly toward the end of the bill, where Stampede was bending over the blanket. "Your little ole蜘蛛 is sort of sick like Hairy Jimmy. Just then Stampede remembered certain methods Bibsee Bill had used when he had so promptly cleaned up the other tarantulas at the I. J. T. He remembered that Bibsee had backed him he found some slight projectile in his mouth. He reared and had brought his two curved fangs into his foe with a force that had ended the battle right there. Thinking of this, Stampede pinched a ridge in the stiff Navajo blanket at Bibsee's line of re-When the crippled tarantula felt that right behind him he braced himself and waited till Hairy Gila came scurrying up for a fresh assault. As he closed with his foe, the tarantula hairy legs and struck down at the dun-colored body of his foe. This time the two fangs sank deep into the corseit of Hairy Gila. There was a squirming mass of tarantula, then Bibsee Bill backed off, and then Bibsee bleeds through the eyes of his opponent. That was the end of the fight. Everything bogged down right there. Hairy Gila curled his legs up tight around him, and urged everybody to promenade to the bar. Then the drummer yelled to the barkeeper to set out every bottle he had in the place. Between the winners and the rest, he was dragged a dry town that night. Stampede scooped up Blsee Bill in the meat tin, but Kinki key insisted that he take the gilded cage. The next morning Blsee Bill was dead. The older Brand of Stampede gave out of this fight. It has passed into local history. Every Sunday you can still see tarantula fights, but they are sure to apologize for them and tell you that they are not the real Blsee Bill in the White Elephant back in the eighties. —A. M.

To hear old ben tillman talk, and some others, too, one would be inclined to believe the only rapists are black men. Well, how about the shooting and killing of Irene Buchter by her unnatural father. Clements Buchter, at Louisville, Ky., because she would not submit to his brutal desires. Buchter fired twice, the bullets passing through her head and neck. She died almost instantly. The girl's mother, in trying to save the girl, was shot through the hand. Buchter was found skulking in the woods later by the police and arrested. About 400 people surrounded the house when Buchter was captured, but no effort was made to lynch him. In jail he refused to talk. The bullet which passed through the mother's hand entered the dead girl's side. We never heard of such a case in which a black man figured.

This is so sudden! the residence of the late Stillman Stcne, an old and wealthy resident of the South side, who died recently, came across a cache that contained $2,000. Half of it was in paper in an old wallet, the rest was gold and was in a canvas bag. The money was discovered under a step in the doorway leading from one room of the house to another. The heirs knew nothing of its existence until it was turned open to them by the plumbers. May be they got even when they presented their bill. The latest victim of the South to be tillmanized was Joe Washington, who was burned to death near Savannah, Ga., by a mob more brutal than he even if he was guilty of the crime which he denied with his last breath, and met his death without a groan or an appeal for mercy. And as the press dispatches puts it, "without a shot having been fired, without noise and without undue excitement, they dispersed. The tragedy in which Washington was the central figure was enacted throughout with all the semblance of decorum that its character would permit." The devil, it seems, got into a campmeeting near Jackson, Ohio, last Monday. The presence of white persons was resented, and when one of the latter got into a fight with an Afro-American, a general row ensued, in which nearly 100 persons engaged. The fight lasted half an hour, when the whites were forced to flee from the grounds. Beer bottles and clubs were the weapons used. More than a dozen persons were seriously injured. Now we would like to know what those beer bottles were doing on a campmeeting ground? Guess the devil came in those bottles. The most ungallant fellow we have heard of is one Albert Foss, of Taxwell, Ind., who has filed avidavits against six society girls who gave him a public kissing. Foss is a music teacher and boasted at several parties that he had never been kissed by a girl. The six girls laid for him on the street and kissed him until he cried "enough." He was greatly mortified and went before a justice of the peace and caused the arrest of the girls. They were released on bail. Foss ought to change his name by adding "I" to it. Isaac Brooks, of Richmond, Ind., an Afro-American 80 years old, who cannot read, can quote any portion of the Bible.

A Woman's Life Work. This is a story of a wonderful life. The author was an unremarkable woman, who undergone underground railroad work assisted hundreds of slaves to escape from bondage, and took care of the sick and wounded soldiers who were liberated. She accomplished a great work in providing for the Frog. She was the founder of the state public institution which was the first of its institution which was the first of its world. The Prince of Wales having heard her plan and work, wrote to this county and find out if such were really the fact. Mich, almost utterly owes its first existence, and especially its name, to her offspring, the Kansas, was named in her honor, as also her whole life has been one of cheerful self-affection of the good of others. At the World's Fair, "The Mother of Philanthopy," and well she deserves the title. Her experience as a fascinating interest than lacks of a move fascinating interest than lacks of a move have pronounced it equal to "Uncle Tom's" and both life and is still actively engaged in onble work.

By this means news of important events in the interior of the Soudan reaches all the trading ports on the coast in a very short time, although there is no electric telegraph or telephone in the interior. The communication is made SOAP St up. Why do sible way? bending over work to spee rabbiting a matter how or howev fabric, it Pearl by means of various instruments, the most commonly employed be horns, tomtoms, and whistles. The horns are of solid ivory, made by hollowing out elephant's tusks. The mouthpiece is at the side. These trumpets are of all sizes, but the favorite ones are very long and give seven distinct notes, probably of various sizes. The corks of various sizes. The ordinary tomtom is a hollow log of wood, with a goatskin stretched over one end. The following instance will illustrate the way in which these native telephones are employed: The post commander at Stanley Falls was informed by a native of a neighboring village that a provision train had been attacked by robbers two days before at a point 180 miles further down the river. The latter the party arrived and confirmed the attack. They had reached the scene of the alleged attack at the time reported, but the shots which the natives had taken as indications of a conflict with robbers had been fired at a herd of antelopes. More recently, when an officer of the French Kongo came to grief in the rapids, the accident was reported the next morning at a village 186 miles distant. Among the Bengala tribe a sort of xylophone is used with four notes, by means of which the natives communicate over great distances in a kind of telegraphic language. ABOUT INSECT PESTS. Men Fight Insects with Other Insects in Hawaii Islands. Few countries have suffered more from the introduction of insect pests than the Hawaiian islands. The two chief products of these islands are sugar and coffee, while a considerable amount of fruit is also grown. Along with the imported trees came their insect enemies, notably the scale insect and the aphis. In the course of time these increased so prodigiously that they threatened to destroy the industries of the country. Man is doomed to a constant struggle against nature, and the only way to fight her with her own weapons. So it was in this case. The trees were being destroyed by insects; remedy; import more insects. So in 1890 a certain ladybird (Vedalla cardinalis) was sent over from Australia. It became completely naturalized, and increased prodigiously, feeding on the scale insects, which it soon reduced in numbers, until they became comparatively scarce. But there were other insect plagues—aphics and others of different orders. The government therefore offered a naturalist to import more insects. They were introduced to Australia, and many of them have established themselves and done good service. One of the most useful is a ladybird which feeds on the aphids, which had seriously attacked the sugar canes. It has done such good work that there is every prospect of the canes being speedily cured—Chambers' Journal. No More Tips to Croupiers. The tip question bouts Monte Carlo, too, and as a result of the laxity due to giving and taking tips eight times a week, he has become an employee and other employees of the gambling establishment have been disciplined. It all came about through the dispute which invariably arises when winners are made by persons other than those connected with the "house." When the wheel stops on a winning number argument begins as to who really put his money on that number, and the croupier naturally have been disinterested against those who have tipped them live in the case when the dispute is left with the presiding croupier. Of course the aggrieved player could go up higher and appeal to officers superior to the croupier, but this course usually is distasteful to gamblers. The spirit of dissatisfaction grew so strong that something radical had to be done, for the bank wins from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 a year from the players, besides what naturally enough, the one another. Naturally enough, the bank have decided to allow the croupiers to take no tips whatever from any of the customers.—New York Press.

There are some white people, even in Minneapolis, who think they can insult an Afro-American with impunity. Now, no one has an idea how to do it. He insults "a d-n nigger" unless he is himself an Afro-American. But some whites seem to be on to the fact that it's very insulting, and, when they wish to give an Afro-American the "most unkind cut of all," they call him "a d-n nigger." Afro-Americans, as a rule, are peaceable in their dispositions, and, usually, pocket insults rather than insulting. A while the wrong one is insulted. Such was the case fast Wednesday when F. L. McGhee, of St. Paul, and J. M. Dunn, a white lawyer of Minneapolis, got into an argument in the office of Clerk of Court Mickey. The attorneys were arguing over an assessment of costs in a case, and the discussion had become quite heated. Dunn was very angry at some point, and he insulted and injected into his remarks some more, doing business with "a d-n nigger." "What's that?" asked McGhee. "Repeat that expression," and stepping forward, he spat twice, the excrement staring at her. "This act started Dunn, and for the next few minutes he was vigorously engaged in using a handkerchief, but he made no response except to say that he didn't want any trouble. Dunn's refusal to resent the insult further enrage McGhee, and he proceeded to tell Dunn what he thought of him. "You're a contemptible coward, you are," said McGhee. "I claim to be a gentleman of honor. If a man spat in my face, he'd quit walking." He interfered at this moment, and further hostilities were prevented, but Mr. Dunn has been taught a lesson he will not soon forget. Moral. Do unto "niggers" as you would have "niggers" do unto you.

The report from Springfield published in the Chicago press of Monday, that the "Eighth Battalion, now at Camp Lincoln, is in a troublesome mood and a clash with local authorities is feared," has caused consideration. Through investigation proves, beyond all question, the utter lack of foundation for such a report. The deportment of the men of the Eighth, while in camp, has been most praiseworthy. The commanding officer, Fewer American soldiers were seen on the streets of Springfield under the influence of liquor than any week of the encampment, and fewer arrests were made. Col. Margharif is known in all of the states where he was stationed a strict and fearless disciplinarian, and at the same time commanding the absolute confidence and respect of the officers and men of his battalion. Margharif was also a member of Cuba with John R. Marshall as their colonel, and while on that island, and in traveling to and from the same, passing through Northern and Southern states, their conduct was most exaggerated. Every word of communication from men and newspapers wherever they came will not believe for a moment that the men of the Eighth have so soon forgotten their record made in Cuba and themselves in Springfield it is not true. is about all there is to some advertisements, especially in the clothing business.

WASP STINGS ARE FATAL. People Have Been Known to Die from the Insect's Assault In an article on the stings of wasps a British medical journal cites the two following cases which have come under its notice: A strong, healthy girl of 27 was stung on the neck by a wasp and fainted. On regaining consciousness she complained of a general feeling of pain, suddenly became very pale, fainted and died twenty-five minutes after she was stung. Another case was stung by a wasp behind the jaw. Years who was stung by a wasp behind the jaw. The sting was at once extracted and ammonia applied. In a few minutes she complained of faintness and would have fallen if she had not been supported. He face assumed an expression of great anxiety and a few minutes later she was tossing on bed, complaining of a horrible feeling in the chest and agonizing pain in the chest and gave no relief. We were nausea, but no vomiting. She rapidly became insensible and died fifteen minutes after receiving the sting. The most probable explanation of such cases seems to lie in what is known as idiosyncrasy—that is, abnormal sensitivity in individuals to certain toxic agents. It may also that drugs vary much in action on different people. What is a safe dose for one is dangerously large for another. The inability o" some people to eat strawberries or shellfish is another instance of the same phenomena. The active agent of bee stings is generally believed to be formic acid. It, therefore, seems very difficult to determine how accurate information regarding action of this drug on different species of the lower animals and through them on man himself. SULTAN AGREES TO PLANS. Jews May Eventually Call Promised Land Their Own. At last it seems as if the Jews might get back to the Promised Land and eventually be able again, to call it their own. Dr. Herzl, the founder of the Zionist movement, has laid before the Sultan a scheme for the colonization of parts of Southern Palestine, and his plan is backed up by the Kaiser. Dr. Herzl offered fair payments in return for security of tenure, with internal governing bodies and tracts of land. The payments were to take the form of a certain sum down, with installments as the work advanced. But on the part of the Jews international securities for the carrying out of the undertaking are demanded, and the leading surety is likely to be the Kaiser himself. The Sultan treated Dr. Herzl's delegation kindly, and promised to grant the part of what the Zionists asked. An international congress of Jews will be called shortly to support the plans of the Jewish community, taken by the Jews probably will be the rebuilding of the harbor of Jaffa, and then large irrigation schemes will be undertaken. This work will be done by Jews brought from Galicia, Roumania and Russia. The scheme, far from being charitable, is a business venture, from which good returns are expected. New York Press.
