General Mino, who fought the Thirty-third at San Jacinto, is supposed to have joined him. A letter from General Mino has been intercepted in which the writer says that 200 of his men were killed or wounded, but that he was going to the mountains. General Toung with the Macabebes and Chase's troop of cavalry, is still on the trail of the rebels. The men and horses are badly used up. General Whea ton is trying to get reinforcements and supplies to them from the coast. General Toung left Tayug on November 13 to con nect with General Wheaton, with the Macab6btfi and three troops of cavalry. Three troops, commanded by Captain Hunter and Lieutenant Thayer, pushed through to Asingan. From that point Lieutenant Thayer, with twelve men, started for San Fabian, taking the chances of getting through the lines of the enemy, who were supposed to be be tween Asingan and San Fabian. After a daring ride by way of Magaldan and San Jacinto, he arrived at San Fabian on No vember li, dashing through a considerable force of the enemy at Magaldan. His undertaking was Teported at Manila by courier from General Young to San Joe. The fate of Lieutenant Thayer and his companions was not known until today and fears prevailed here that they had 'been either killed or captured. Major Swigert, Tvith the other two troops, recon noiter toward Pozorrubio, twice attack ing a force -which it was afterward learn ed was Aguinaldo's rear guard. In the meantime General Wheaton sent the Thirteenth regiment to Santo Tomas and Bosairo, two launches from the Oregon, Lieutenant Niblack commanding, accom panying them along the shore. A hund red insurgents were found entrenched at Rosarlo. Buck's battalion and the Lan cers drove them from the trenches and routed them, the Thirteenth regiment los ing one man killed and three wounded. Cronin's battalion marched to Pozorrubio, there finding General Toung's force, which had just learned that Aguinaldo had passed through Saingan on his way to Bmalonan the night before. Genera' Young started to head off the party at Pozurrubio and might have succeeded but that he took the wrong road, reaching Manaoag, where he struck the rear guard of the insurgent chief, capturing a quan tity of supplies, Aguinaldo's wife's effects and thirty-five Remingtons. Darkness coming on compelled him to abandon tho pursuit for the night and a heavy rain fall on the tHjyfollo'wing davs handicarpp ed him further, else Aguinaldo might have been carxtured. Buencamlno's endurance was exhausted. He had left Aguinaldo's party there and remained among the Americans a week untlL the natives betrayed him. Aguin aldo is on the mountain trail, having twenty-five horses in the party, and has a good chance of eluding the Americans unless he gets among hostile natives. General Wheaton entered San Fabian with his staff on November IS, after a perilous and exhausting trip. He arrang ed the distribution o troops in the sur rounding country and started to return to Tayug on- Sunday. Tho business men of Dagupan and many foreigners have sent word to Gen eral Wheaton that the insurgents had evacuated, and requested that he garri son the place. Captain Howland took the battalion of the Eighteenth regiment and proceeded to Dagupan. He found 2,i people in a town whose nominal popula tion is 50.000. the remainder having fied to the swamps Captain Howland re-installed in office the local authorities of Aguinaldo's government, all of whom took the oath of allegiance. The Third cavalry had one man nllled and three wounded in the fight at Santo Thomas. ACTIVITY IN CAV1TE PROVINCE Only a Forlorn Hope as a Diversion in Acuiualdo's. Favor. Washington, Nov. 25 The following cablegram has been received at the war department from General Otis: "Insur gents made feint on Imus last n'ght. Three enlisted men -wounded: their loss tuo killed, one captured. Quickly v-ith-drew. Additional troops sent from Ma nila today. Insurgents will be driven south. Reports from Negros encourag ing. Chief insurgent leader north of island surrendered surrendered voluntar ily. More planting being done. More sugar mills at work than at any time since revolution against Spain began. Officers report people apparently cheer ful and hopeful; that form of govern ment in operation well suited to con ditions, and working smoothly." Manila. Nov. 25. The Third infantry, reconnoiterlng from Ba'inag, met the in surgents on the main road and had a running fight to San Udefonso, where they drove 3(0 Filipinos from an old Spanish redoubt. Proceeding towards San Miguel, the Americans found the In surgents in a series of strong works, two miles south of the town, probably General Pio del Pilar's old command, numbering 759 men. An officer was kill ed and a private was wounded. The in surgents had four men killed and ten -nonnded. Nine Filipinos were captured This is probably the largest band of in surgents north of the Pasls river Washington, Nov. 25. The war de partment officials are disposed to account for the sudden activity developed by tbe insurgents south of Manila, as reported this morning, on ine assumption that tbe insurgent general in command there, who is believed to be Pio Del Pilar, has received notice through some of his "spies of the desperate straits of Aguinaldo, aad Is manfully trying: to create a diver sion in his favor by attacking the Amer ican force in the rear. He occupies strong defensive ground, and Cavite province, the home of Aguinaldo, ha? never been taken by the Spaniards since the first hostilities. General Schwan, as sisted by the marines from the naval station at Cavite. made a raid through the terirtory last summer, but it was during the wet season, the swamps were deep, and beyond driving the insurgents off temporarily, nothing substantial as achieved, and .the country was abandon ed to the insurgents. Now, however, j with the advent of the dry season. th time Is ripe for the execution of the p'ans of General Otis to clear out this country permanently nd carry out his favorite project for the installment in tbe province of local raunic&al governments and General Grant, in command there, is being reinforced with that special ob ject.

Pare i Remains of the Vice President Committed to Earth- SCENE MOST IMPRESSIVE During the Service in the Church ofthe Redeemer. Paterson. N. J..

Through the -west window, from the center of the stained glass Maltese cross, pierced a shaft of crimson that shed its light around the catafalque and bathed the orchids, nar cisus blossoms and white roses in bright tints. The eye of the clergyman trav eled along the shaft of light to the cross as h-3 repeated the words: "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." The chief magistrate of the country bowed his head in his hands. He was visibly agitated. There was scarcely a dry cheek in the crowded edifice and the widow was apparently the most composed. All the pomp of an official pageant, which was omitted in deference to the wishes of the deceased, could never hae caused the impressiveness of this scene. The imposing and solemn strain of Chop in's funeral march filled the edifice with Its solemn melody as the casket was brought tip the aisle on the shoulders of the stalwart capltol police and placed on the ibier prepare for it in front of the pulpit. Following it came the pallbear ers, members of the senate. Following them came the family, the widow and he son. President McKinley, the cabinet dig nitaries and the intimate friends. They all sat close around the casket. On ev ery side of Its the floral offerings were banked in a wealth of beauty and color. The funeral services were opened by Rev, Dr. Charles S. Shaw, who read a portion of the 90th Psalm, verses 1-6 and j 10-12. xrns was loiiowea oy a selection from Job 14:1-2 and 7-12, and concluded by a reading from the 14th chapter of Corinthians I. After a prayer sixty male i voices filled the church with the beautiful melody of "Nearer, My God. to Thee After the sermon, in which the business, sitatesmanlike and social qualities of the deceased -were extolled the Orpheus club sang a cantata by Chwaltal. Dr. Magio then pronounced the benediction and in the same order that it arrived the fun eral procession left the church. As the casket was borne down the aisle and out into tbe porch the vast multitude, which could hardly be kept under control b the police and soldiers, uncovered and when the president appeared with bowed head, leaning on the arm of ohn Hay, there was only a murmur of greeting. Through a long lane of thousands of uncovered heads, the cortege wended its way to Cedar Lawn cemetery, where the body was placed in the receiving vault. The oity wore its moPt sombre garb to day in mourning. AH the mills big busi ness houses and stores were closed. The municipal buildings, banks and factories oloked gloomy in draperies of black and purple. On every hand were signs of grief for the loss of New Jersey's states man. Out of deference to the wishes of Mrs. Hobart. there were no visitors this morning to Carroll Hall, except the inti mate rohitit es of tbe family. The body of tho vice-pres4d"Dt rested in its casket of oak on the catafalque in tbe library. His right hand rested lightly on bis breast and held a bunch of violets, placed there by hs widow. On tbe coilln was a bunch of oalla lines, a sheaf of palm and some smilax and roes. Around the room were many floral tributes, conspicuous among them being several pieces from the White House conservatory. There were never gathered in New Jer sey, and seldom in any part of the United. States, so many mourners of eminence In she nation. In tbe throngs were sena tors from states that were territories be fore the war and for years after There were Hoar of Massachusetts, represent ing the old, and Beveridge of Indiana, representing the new, in national life. There were John W. Daniel of Virginia, representjng the Confederate soldier, aad Hawley of Connecticut, standing as a type of the Union veteran, jearh of them today as senators mourning the loss oX their presiding oiner. There was Jones of Arkansas, aczn-ta-arni with Frye of Maine. From every stare came men of broad culture aad prominence in national affairs to honor the memory of the illus trious American, whose acknowledged ability had woe him a foremost ptaoe among men of tbe time. More rhan three fifths of the t-enate and nearly hair of the merabars of the house of representative were in the church, with the govetaots ofone-ibird of the states Before the body arrived at the church, the neabxs of the United States SfnaT? a m! hoote of representatives, dtetinvuiiahed av-n of states of the union and repreentat've of the legislature of New Jer-. and its u preme oourt were seatad Thw Sc re m onlv for tbe funeral parry fr-m the huj" The chnrch oral daeorati .ns were -sa?-tnacent.

There was a tin 1 sign today on the front door of the Franklin Syndicate headquarters at 144 Floyd street, Brooklyn, which read: "Closed on. Saturday." Various reports were current regarding the whereabouts of William F. Miller, the ostensible head of the syndicate. Yesterday Miller dis appeared at noon, having learned that the Kings county grand jury bad indicted him for conspiracy with intent to defraud and that a bench warrant had been is sued for ihis arrest. It was said that Miller came to the borough of Manhattan and escaped under the eyes of the detec tivea. Some think that he Is still In Manhattan. Others think that he had by this time left Greater New York far behind, either by a European steamer or by a railroad train. His brother, Louis H. Miller, cashier of the Franklin Syndi cate, who was arrested last night when the police raided the offices of the con cern, was taken to court today and held in $1,000 bail to answer to the charge of having aided his brother In defrauding creditors, SS.500 having been found by the police, which -they allege the prisoner concealed in the house adjoining the Franklin Syndicate offices. All day a crowd of excited depositors held the fort at 144 Floyd street, which fort, however, was well guarded by the police, some of whom had themselves been enriched by the interest of 10 per, cent a week on earnings they had placed in Miller's hands for investment. Floyd street was the scene of great excitement. The crowd was made up largely of wo men. Some of them had remained throughout Friday night, hoping that "the young Napoleon of finance" would return to his extraordinary dividends and pay them their interest or their principal. At midnight Friday, overcome by excite ment and her looses, Mrs. M. A. Cheney, who is said to have lost the savings of a lifetime, dropped dead. Several women fainted and today the police had much difficulty in keplng back the surging mobs. Early today the police sent out a gen eral alarm for the apprehension of Will lam F. Miller, as follows: "Arrest for grand larceny, William F. Miller, S5 years, B feet 5 Inches.; 140 pounds; dark mous tache: small side wiskers; broken nose; mixed gray suit and overcooat; light Al pine hat." The police also s&nt oat a general alarm for the apprehension of Cecil Les lie, Miller's private secretary, who acted also as Ms press agent and who Is In a measure responsible for the recent publi cation of the story of Miller's greatness and his imaginary prowess in Wall Street. All the banks In the rtty were notified by the police today to hold any money in their possession deposited to tho oc- count of William F. Mriler or the Trank lin Syndicate, pending the developments in the indictment of Miller and Leslie. The olice also set about to keep an eye on certain banks and trust companies where Miller is supposed to have money on deposit. Notwithstanding the fact that MIHer withdrew from the Wells Far go Co's bank more than 1100,000 about Thursday, the police placed detectives in this bank, believing that he still has de ports thre. Regarding the report that Miler had placed 5100,000 In the German consulate, the acting German consul gen eral, K. Benz, said today that Miller had not deposited that sum or any other sum of money with the consulate and that he had no knowledge of the matter. "We are not in the habit of doing such things." he said. "If we did anything we would help the authorities to expose sus picious characters. I have no Idea wheth er Miller is a German cklzen or not." It was said that J. C Hendrit. presi dent of the Union National bank, and representing the American Bankers as sociation, had submitted most of the evi dence on which Miller and Leslie were indicted. The work of procuring this was started and accumulated chiefly through the efforts of the Fourth National bank. It was the Fourth National bank that first exposed the doings of Rev. P. F. Jernegan, of the "Sea Water Gold" scheme, which afterward collapsed Of ficers Af the Fourth National bank were not disposed to say much about the mat ter today, but they admitted that a score of more of drafts on Miller's syn dicate had poured in on them today, largely from Oh'o towns, and ranging In amounts from 55 to 139. betas for weekly Interest payments. According to Wall street bankers, nearly all of the country depositors of tbe syndicate left both principal and interest in the concern and will lose all they have invested. A pile of telegrams six inches high lay in front of Postmaster Wilson, of the borough of Brooklyn today. Each one was a plea to stop payment on money order or to hold up a registered letter All of Miller's mail has been held up He received 5er ordinary and fifty reg istered letters I!y on an average. His money orders varied from &M0 to (13.900 dally. Almost every town in tbe United States seems to be represented in tbe list. All of the sums sent, now in the hands of postal authorities, will be refunded.

S. The position In Natal remains full of perplexities, which the censorship has Increased. Although a division and a half have now reached Duroan. that place is practically power leas until supplied with cavalry and ar tillery, and until these arrive the situa tion will undoubtedly remain grave. With three beleagured garrisons in Natal besides Kimberley and Mafekin?, and no signs of succor in the immediate future, it is no -wonder that the outlook is re garded as distinctly gloomy tonight and that the most possible is made of Gen eral Methuen s success, such as it was. That battle decided nothing, and It seems certain that many experts are of the opinion that the story of the return of the pursuing cavalry without getting In touch with the retreating Boers indi cates that the cavalry discovered in time that if they had gone on It would 'have been eoon on the Pretoria race course, with Its comrades of the Hussars. It will not surprise anyone greatly if the Boers are shortly again discovered in aa entrenched position near the spot from which eneral Methuen has Just evicted them. From no other point can even a semblance of surccs be reported. Mafe king is apparently in worse plight than the Britishers have hitherto cared to ad mit, and it is ditncult to see how it can be relieved for some time to corns. While the official dispatch from the Boer head laager outside of Ladj-6mlth dated November 24, showed that the town was still flying the union Jack on Friday, the cheerful tone of the mes sage and the evident intimation of the speedy reduction of Ladysmlth is not calculated to cheer anxious relatives. The reported silence of the British guns fclso again arouses fears of a shortness of ammunition and the fact that the Boers have Just placed In position another siege gun shows that they have not yet done their worst. The arrival of the erman officers, some of whom, it ia un derstood, gained large experience In re ducing fortlried towns in 1S70-71, is cal culated to lead to a change of tactics which will add to the suspense of the sorely tried garrison. The situation in the northern portion of Cape Colony is about as unsatisfac tory as It can well be. Boers are turn ing up In all directions. A Cape Town dispatch at a late hour tonight reports that the enemy have blown up a railway bridge between Rosemead Junction and Middlebarg with the object of prevent ing an advance from Port Elizabeth. This was effected bj a small commando, which, it is stated, remains in the neigh borhood The effect of blowing up thH bridge will tend to isolate Naauwpoort, which was recently re-occupied by the British, and must delay the advance of the t-oops Just arrived at Port EHaJ i..v I beth. AKMT MEN" KOAST CmjKCHrLT. London, Nov. 25 Among the serion minded, conservative English people, there Is a growing soling of dlssrust at the spread of the nauseating namby pambjlsm which finds an excuse In the war. The historical outbreak which has ensued since "Tommy Atkins" and his officer became- a full-fledged society cra7 has alrsady been the subject of satirical articles in the better class of British pub lications and now signs point to a reac tion from that unreasoning enthusiasm which is responsible for so many undig nifie dantlc. Never were tbe old Eng lish army officer o aghast as when they read of the queen's decision to snd a vox of chocolates to each man in the fid as a Christmas present. Compared with the simple spoches at her farewells to the troopi, tbi? announcement appeared as a sudden descent from the sublime to the ridiculous On top oi this came th heroic accounts of Correspondent Churchill fighting battles ond controlling troopa, and regular oJ3crs pouring ia Icttsrs to the papers protesting against this. Though not belittling Churchill's personal bravery, an officer was obliged to tell Churchill that his help was not needed to command a company Other instances of this young ex-o81cer"s read- J ness to interfere have ben srtated since the gio-jrtng accounts of tbe armored trsi naffalr.

Shorty "Wynee, Jim Scanlon, Frank Deneen and Jim Callahan were arrested by local police officers last night on sus picion of .having committed the robbery of the State Bank at Clearwater, the safe of which Institution was blown open Friday night or early yesterday morning and J127 in money and about SS.000 in notes and other paper taken from It. Scan-Ion and Callahan were arrested at Linder's saloon in the packing house dis trict about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They were found asleep. Deneen and Shorty "Wynee were arrested on a North Topeka avenue car while coming down from that vicinity. These men have been under surveillance by Officers Sutton, Massey and Cairns for some time, and while the officers refuse to say anything as to the particular circumstances upon which they made the arrests, they say the evidence points out strongly that some of these men, and maybe all of them, were implicated in the work. "When Cashier William Dale went down to the bank in Clearwater yesterday morning he found the safe doors both blown off and lying on opposite sides of the room. The force of the explosion wrecked the building, bulging out the walls and breaking the windows. The money, amounting to ?127, and about $3,000 In commercial paper, were gone. The Clearwater bank makes a depository of the Fourth National bank In this city, currency being shipped from here when it is needed. On Friday Cashier Dale had paid out heavily on local checks, and had about exhausted the money on hand, al though a shipment of $1,030 from the Fourth National here was on Its way to Clearwater. Judge Dale, Sam Amidon, Dr. M. "W. Cave and Z. ,T. Stevens of I Clearwater are the principal stockholders In the bank, which was only recently es tablished with a paid up capital of ?3,0u0. The robbers did their work quietly and presumably escaped to Wichita on a Missouri Pacific hand car, as the regu lar section car used by the section men at Clearwater was found on the 2&issouri Pacific near the Wichita and "Western crossing" yesterday mornnig.

HOW TO STOP IT Fast Merchants Could Abolish, the Hail Fraud. II the commercial men who are hoo- dooed by that slow fast mail train would resolve that it should be stopped and use the power whicli they can control in the shipment of eoods, and in addition to that, join in a protest as a body, to the postmaster eeneral and to the Kansas congressmen and senators, it can be stopped. The new scheme now adopted is instead of holding the train at New ton they run it on down to Arkansas City and hold the train there under the guise of twenty minute3 for breakfast and it is stretched out to forty or fifty, or as many minutes as it happens for the train from Florence to arrive. Last Monday morning there was seventy-five passengers on the train from Wichita who had to wait for the plug in from the Florence branch. "When it did arrive there were but two passengers aboard. All this is done in the Interest of one newspaper, owned by the railroad, which they are trying to bolster up in order that they may unload it, at he same time the government of the United States is paying: the bill.

JIM D0BSON OUT Says He Will Probably Come Back to K.nna. Jim Dohson, who was a year apo ap pointed to a position of forest supervisor 1 In the western department, and -was sta tioned in California, writes to Judge E. B. Jewett that he was dismissed October lth, and that he is now working on the ratine.

I There U Only One Pile Cure That Has Iteaclietl a Xational Popularity and Reputation. There are many popular medicines that are known in every household In Amer ica.. There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics, headache remedies, dyspepsia cures, and ocugh cures, which are sold in every drug store hi the nation and beyond. But all of these must divide their popularity with many rivals. No one remedy has the field to Itself, with the single exception of pile cures, for it is a singular fact that there is bat one pile cure that can be considered as having a. national reputation, without a rival, and the referred to is the Pyramid Pile Cure which for seven years has steadily worked into the public favor by reason 1 of its extraordlnarr merit, until it is known from Maine to Calif orma and LjfQ TT1 It is true there are many pile remedies having a small local reputation for a year or two. but the Pyramid Pile Cure ha; rapidly supplanted them ail and really has the field to itself when any thing like national popularity is con sidered.

Those ro: Sereno B. Payne of New York, pres t chairman; John Dnlzell of Pennsyl vania, and Albert J. Hopkins of IHinois, vho gave Colonel Henderson a close rub f r speaker in the preliminary race. It is dojbtful who will land. Caches an ex rerlcnccd man. The place carries with it the house majority leadership, and that means a good deal. If Hopkins were to Efccure the place he could give up the cha rmnnship of t:e committee of the census, an ircDcrti-nt one in this con gress. Colonel Henderson -will give up the .airmanship of the committee of judi ciary, and Congressman George W. Bay cf New York may secure it If so, he, in return, will surrender the place at head of the committee on invalid pensions. "Joe" Cannon of Illinois will probably remain at the head of the committee of appropriations. A pretty stiff fight may nue for first place -on the committee of banking and currency, made vacant by the retirerront of J. H. Walker of Mas eachesetts. Two candidates are J. F. McCleary of Minnesota and Charles F. Frtvler of New Jersey. Congressman Mc Cleary v. ill be remembered as contribut ing much to the campaign of 1SP6 in a i nanclal-document manner, and is a very n,an. Fowler years ago used to j -i-Me law out in Kansas, in Beloit, iii was a partner of Judge Holt, former 'j mi-mter ot the supreme court commis fin. Thus, as ever, Kansas is in it. Kansas will get good places in committee sEignmc-nts. There is no certainty as to v,hat they will be, but Colonel Henderson J.ks Kansas, and Kansas likes the Colo i rl. Congressman Long, who will be I rominent in the coming session, is bound t) secure a good assignment. So Is Bai ly, and Curtis, and the others from the sfanflower state. It is undoubtedly a fact that 1 e matters of whether Brigham II, Roberts, representative from Utah, ."all be ptrmltted to retain his seat i" t :o house, is the most agitated and i .to: st'ng question of the 4ay here. In the first place, it is a mere question cf .cf, whether Mr. Roberts will remain in he aouse. If (he is guilty of violating th' Fdmunds law, jwhich. describes cer tiln ''h.ngs as unlawful in. connection with the alvmt of Utah Into the union of stScs, then he may be expelled; other w lsc, n it. Mr Ro erts is a Mormon. He does not deny hat. He, has a plurality of wives. 11 s r.ot deny that. He has children en x r..-ult of his plural marriages. He d -s n t deny that. But he does deny t he has married one or more of his twps s.nce the Edmunds law came into t'-fct lt. 1 force. If he can prove this de r h will probably keep his seat. Mr Roberts will take his seat just the f me .s Mr. Long ,of the Seventh Kan s ltrict, or other representative who I !L j. certincate of election from the fc rftary of state of his state.

It will take one and tifty milBone to build the i and no "private enterprise will rr take th risk f doing It. But v' .rnmeat can fltther the scheme d arv.ally regeHtta its operation. Th same with the Pacific cable- Mr. Long thinks our merchant marine has been sadly neglected, and he believes our oceanic commerce should in the future be transacted by means of American ships. These questions, of course, directly in terest the Pacific coast tothe greatest de gree, but after that, the Mississippi val ley, and Kansas is a part of- that and should see the wisdom of such Iecisla tion. There Is a general tendency, as states men and members of both houses arrive, and the discussion of a political policy for next year's Republican campaign is be gun, to concede that the commercial ad vantages of expansion will be the chief issue. Men -who think and look ahead in poli tics and statescraft, and there are many able ones of this kind in this congress,, are talking and thinking in this direc tion. For instance, the prosperity which now exists will be used as an argument for widening our trade. Anything which appeals to business furtherance, and all of that, is a good thing for a party to push in a national campaign. Of course there will be great indorsement of the present national administration; its war and peace policy, etc., but it is generally conceded that tariff and currency are both settled in the minds of the American people.and they are not looking toward expansion and seeing what it means to them. As indicative of the course which will be -followed by the Republicans in congress and in the next campaign, the following utterance of Senator Henry Ca bot Lodge of Massachusetts is a fair sample: "We must not, of course," he said yes terday, "lose sight of the humanitarian side of the Philippine problem; but, after all, the American people must be con vinced that through the possession of the islands we have become an eastern power and are in a position to command the commerce of the Orient. "With our flag floating over the Philippines we can de mand an open door in China and can prevent Russia from monopolizing Chi nese trade." Dr. George ,F. Becker, a government geologist Who was recently sent to tho Philippines, has returned, and has filed with the department of the interior a very Interesting report. He treats of the origin of the Philippines, and the follow ing is a partial synopsis of his views: Thonost notable feature of the report submitted by him has relation to the presence of ancient man dn .Luzon and other islands of the group. His opinion is that the ape-like creature termed the missing link may have had Its earliest haunts In those isles of tho sea, at a time when, not less than 300.000 years ago. they were connected with the mainland of Asia by a sort of land bridge via Borneo. In this opinion Dr. Becker coincides with the late Professor O. C. Marsh, of Tale University, who expressed a belief that the Philippines were, at all events, among the earliest localities inhabited by the human species, even if the latter did not actually start there. The time may have been half a million years ago, but science always wishes to be conservative. There are excellent reasons, however, for believing that homo saptens the true hu man, being as distinguished from the ty pical ape existed on the island of Luzon, or in that Immediate neighborhood, in the epoch called the Pliocene, along toward the end of the Tertiary perioa. ..ow, tne Tertiary ended about 200,000 years back, with tho great Ice Age, and thus one gets a notion of the extreme antiquity as signable to the! first families of the Phil ippines. Dr. Becker surmises that the black dwarfs of Luzon and other islands of the group, known as Negritos, are actually descended from tho primitive human j stock in question. These black pygmies, J now nearly extinct, who have not! ad- i vanced even as far' as the stone age, are j astonishingly monkey-like in aspect and In their ways, the sounds they utter in lieu of language resembling the short and sharp shrieks of those animals. Appar ently, they are distantly related to cer tain savages discovered in the interior of Borneo, not exceeding four feet in stat ure, whose wrinkled -skins tare covered with hair, and who sleep in caves or In j trees, living on mice and such other small mammals as they can catch. These wild J people of Borneo ran neither be tamed nor employed for any work, and their speech is the gabble of brutes. I do not think that American residents here will leave the country on account of the war, nor do I suppose that they or other aliens will be compelled to take up arms to defend the Transvaal. Although the Volksraad has already adopted, as a part of the constitution, an article re quiring all Inhabitants to fight for the Transvaal if called upon to do so. Should I be called; under this article, I shall, of course, refuse to go, aa will most other foreigners in this country- This might lead to complications. I expect that the government will allow non-combatants, on application from their consuls, to en roll themselves as a police force to pre serve order." The disposition of leading American statesmen to hold fast to the hotels that they patronized before they had achieved national fame is rather a pleasing trait. It will be remembered that President Mc Kinley, during his congressional career, lived a long while at the Ebbitt, and that when he came to the capital to be in augurated he went straightway to that hostlery. Former Speaker Crisp, of Geor gia, had been a patro nof the Metropcli "tan, and after his elevation to the speak ership continued to make that house his home. The same can be said of Thomas B. Reed and the Shoreham. The con tinuity of this policy is maintained by Colonel D. B. Henderson, the next speak er of the house of representatives. Col onel Henderson has passed seven conse cutive seasons at the Normandie, and the Normandie will continue to be his home. Prince David of Hawaii, who is often seen at the Arlington and other uptown hotels, is making many friends in Wash ington by his pleasant manners and unas suming bearing. He attended the New York horse show and was greatly Inter ested. The prince has become greatly in terested in the locomobiles since his landing here, and lately ordered a very handsome one, which he will guide per sonally over the thoroughfares of the city before its final shipment to Honolulu. He likes Washington so well that there is a probability that he may ultimately con clude to become a permanent citizen. Congressman Chester I. Long has been honored by selection as one of the com mittee from the house to attend the fun eral of Vice President Hobart, which oc curred today at Paterson, N. J. The funeral was attended by the president, the cabinet, the supreme court, the senate and the committee from the house, as well as many others. All departments wore closed today out of respect to the departed statesman. William A. Jones, commissioner of In dian affairs, has made his report. It It extensive, and urges more schools, more systematic methods, and many other good things. He declares that the en tire educational system of the Indian of fice is based on the ultimate abolition of the anomalous Indian reservation sys tem. R. H. FAXON. I Singer DonnelPs ...20 PER CENT OFF FOR CASH... W AH this anii-Metcalf and Funston talk is not seriously regarded by the war de partment, and by the Kansans and others here. Of course an affidavit is generally supposed to amount to something, and one who deliberately and maliciously and falsely makes one is regarded as open to a suit for libel to say the least. But the war department is satisfied with the course of both the Kansas generals, so it is not likely it will take serious cog- nizance of these charges. Secretary and Adjutant General Corbin are both quite emphatic in the belief that there is noth ing in the charges. Here is what J. Sterling Morton, for merly secretary of agriculture, and now a Nebraska editor, has to say of Kansas In a recent issue of his paper: "The conservative has always held that Kanas was constantly in paroxysmal politics and sociological contortions by J heredity. The territory was settled by j oar toads tof Job-lot humanity sent in by the southern fire-eaters of the south and j the Beecher Ritle. and Bible clubs of the north. From such a beginning has been bred a race of quick-action emotlbnals who can give one year eighty thousand j Republican majority ami the next elect j an ex-confederate colonel congressman- i at-bxrge over a federal Republican gen eral." There is something slgniocant in a re cent letter received from the Transvaal, In that Americans are shown the Boer people not through British glasses but by one of our own people. The letter is written by a Mr. Bradford, manager of jthe Looglaate Deep Gold Mine, one of the richest in South Africa, to Representa tive Sherman of New York, and embodies the following: "I came here with the be lief that the Boers were a sturdy, hon est, pioneer people, who deserved the en tire control of their own country, and to be protected from the foreign population that had settled in their midst; bat I nave lived here Ions; enough to change that opinion. I do not daeire to see the independence of the coantry det-trojed, and in this I share the views of many Englishmen here: but The political condi tion that exists is intolerable. A large majority of the Boers do not trouble them selves with political affairs; they live on their farms and accept the mandates of then- neld 'comets as gospel, but the gov erning ciarees, those who have partaken of the loaves and fishes of office, and who are responsible for the burdens laid upon the foreign population, are. in ray opin ion, rotten and corrupt. The Uitlanders art here to stay. Johaaeaburg is a splen did city, boiit up solely by the enterprise of those who are now seeking political recognition.

STILES WASN'T SMOOTH ENOUGH He Conldn't Help Getting not at the Germans and Sayins Tilings. Washington, D. C, Nov. 25. The offi cials of the State department are- reticent as to the reasons forrthe recall of Prof. Stiles, the scientific attache of the United States embassy at Berlin, which is re ported from that capital in the press dis patches. It has been known for somo time past that Prof. Stiles was encount ering friction In his office, though the offi cials were not clear as to where the fault rested. The expert has not failed to cri ticise German -methods with a freedom that must have been irritating to the Ger man government at times. On the other hand, ho Is said to have delivered himself of utterances that had a tendency to em bamss our own officials in certain nego tiations. This was especially true, it is said, of the beef and sausage negotia otins. There Is no question as to the right of Germany to cause the recall of any person attached to the United States embassy at Berlin upon representations that he is persona non grata, but it is not believed that the jhave proceeded to this length in the case of Prof. Stiles, though by limiting his usefulness they may have acted quite as effectively toward securing his retirement. There is no such official as a scientific attache at tho Germany embassy here. Tho nearest approach to such a person, probably, is Friehorr Bono von Herman, set down as the expert of the embassy for agriculture and forestry.

Miss Jessie Lewelling of "Wichita has the following interesting first-page story m the Chicago Inter-Ocean of Friday. On u. city paper, only the best -written stories get first page positions: Edward D. Palfrey, known in theatri cal world several years ago, when he sang In "Robin Hood" with New Hoff and Tom Kar as "Ned" Palfrey, is at pres ent the hero of a romance in real life rivaling those in which he figured before the footlights. Palfrey's troubles date from about a fortnight ago, when he first njticed that he was being shadowed by two genial detectives, who took no pains tj conceal their purpose. Did Palfrey 1- ave the- Chicago Beach hotel, where he was living, his "twin shadows," as he calls the detectives, were beside him. A note in a feminine hanS finally en I shtened him. It read: Dear Xed: Don't try to see me again. L--ave town as quickly and quietly as jssible, for your own good and mine. "ALICE." Alice is Mrs. Jennings, of No. 5237 Cor reli avenue, wife of George T. Jennings, T the T. A. Snyder Preserve company. No 51 Water street, and daughter of Thn C. Fleming of the Carnegie Steel c mpany. According to the story of the f Tmer singer he first saw Mrs. Jennings is hen she visited the St Josiah hospital a i Point Comfort, during the war with Spain, where he lay suffering with a bullet wound received in battle. Palfrey had served as a private with the Elev mth United States regulars, and at the t me he was wounded he had risen to the rank of sergeant. Mrs. Jennings, who is a very pretty wman of the blonde type, created quite a sensation in the hospital," (aid Palfrey. "In consequence, I felt flattered and I'leased.when she singled me out, saying I did not look like the others. We be came interested in each other, and she 1 tt me here address, asking me to write ti her. It was the oasis in the desert Xj me, a poor dog of a soldier, feverish id wounded, and I treasured the scrap f paper she gave me. "When I came to C hicago I informed her of my presence. and although she is married, a friendship fius begun was bound to grow. 1 saw tfr often until two weeks ago, when -I rfceived that note. She gave me no rea s n .and I cannot understand why they arr having me watched. It must be the work of Mr. Fleming, her father." Mr. Palfrey says that one of the detec ts es informed him the instructions were i make no secret of their business, and t prevent a meeting between Mrs. Jen r.ngs and himself, even if violence be came necessary. He thinks the man was t"Jing to draw him into a street fight, fiat a chance might be given for his arrest. He claims that he has become v. ry much attached to ltis shadows, and sull miss them when they leave him. One day he went into some place on Michigan avenue with a party of friends to get a rink. The faces of the poor, thirsty 1 oking detectives haunted him so that lie sent a boy out with two beers for tl-'em. Another time, when they waited before r building In the rain for Palfrey to make i 's appearance, he considerately sent i m his umbrella. "Look here. Palfrey," said one of the men, as the object of their continuous e rutfny was about to step into a cab, vou are causing us a lot of trouble. Why can't you walk?" Palfrey looked at them lieitarJngly a moment, and his good na ture assertfed itself. "All right, I will walk," he said, dismissing the cab. Four men recently have been put on the i-e and Mr. Palfrey declares things "i iv gone far enough. He had grdwn p. .ustoroed to the old, familiar faces of I' former shadows, he says, but the new s are the last straws. He has con quently placed the matter in the hands his lawyer, George M. Lyman, No. 162 La Salle street, together with the letters i- m Mrs. Jennings, which are in his r -session. Mr. Fleming, when seen at his office i nerday, refused to discuss the matter, 1 u Mrs. Jennings, in an Interview at her T me on Cornell avenue, stated that her i asband had hired the detectives and that 11 t father had nothing to do with the i e. When asked what the objeet was i having Mr. Palfrey watched she said husband believed him to be of bad .aracter and to have no visible means t. r sunport. "When additional information is pro cured. she said, "we can make it very uncomfortable for Mr. Palfrey. Yes. I 1id believe in him," she assented, "but I met him socially, not in the hospital, as p- claim. I met Mr. Palfrey through fronds. In Hammond, La. I gave him r-oney. several times, and I have never h-ard of his working since I met him. II rejurned my kindness' by trying to b-ak up this home." Mrs Jennings was silent for a- moment Tven she added: -What do you think he told a detec t .e who had gained his confidence? He Bjid that he cared nothing at all for the tvr man that's me! that It was my rr mey he was af ter. I have washed my 1 inds of him. and I have told my hus 1 nd everything". Perhaps Mr. Palfrey v, esn't know the significance of two let t -s In my possession which concern him. I he did I do not believe much would be s,d about my letters. All women write t vjllsh letters in a case like that, and I vas no exception. Mr. Palfrey secured a permit from the chief of police to carry a revolver. He was afraid of his shad ow."

So say i she let looeewlth a volley that tow i -i d high in the air and lighted the whole "r-vrid: and with a roar and shake that uld make one think she bad complete c -itrol of the whole universe. Well, we tre situated on the extreme point of Maui r.i,I I must say that tt was the grandest fireworks I ever saw. "It seemed for a time that heaven and hell were at war and that old Manna Loa "bad been put in chief command si the devilish forces ar-d was trylnr to steal in upon the angels in the night, after the fashion of Dewey at Manila. The old Udy cuniiaued in aetion for about eight d ivs sxiu Urtn she seemed to get ashamed c herself and tried to hide herself by Touring out a volume of vry dense sofc. wfcSeh snieeloped the entire group i islaaeVs. The smoke was so thick that old mdv certainly did accomplish her t 'ect. if he was Irving to hide, for rhing-cild be seen of her, aXd in fart. "Ke cosM see very little of anything x c pt things that were near by. She e n ti&ued pouring out that dense smoke. which was tinted with the smell of sul phur, for about eleven days, then she awoke again from her smouldering slum ber and sent forth her flames high in the air pouring out a flood of lava that went streaming down the mountain, side de stroying everything before it At night the sight was too grand for human tongue to begin to describe. And with my limited knowledge of a narration and description would -not attempt it lest I should do the lady an Injustice. Those fiery billows rolled up in such brilliant splendor that it shall never be forgotten. She ceased her activity on the 23d, and quieted down seemingly satisfied with the good time she had had.. During this action no little uneasiness was felt in and around Hilo, as the stream of lava made direct for that town. And on the other hand we who live on the neighbor ing islands did not know but what the other volcanoes, such as old Haleakala, at whose base we reside, would take sides with old Mauna Loa, and belch forth a fierce volley from her indiges tive stomach. Things finally quieted down with no very great damage or loss of life, since she has been considered dangerous for some time past and people in general have kept their distance. One man was unfortunate enoush to get caught between two lava flows on the side of the mountain, and being com pelled to cross one of them, burned his shoes from his feet and then burned his feet nearly off, so that he Is a cripple for life. Nothing can be seen of the old lady's fiery disposition now except a lit tle smoke is winding out from her red hot maxillaries. Oh those massive fiery flames! how beautiful to a distance. I had given up the Idea of ever being able to see a real live volcano, but now that I have seen one, I'll tread more lightly over the crators of those extinct ones hereafter. Well, Maude, I must close for this time, hoping to hear from you very soon. My family join me in love to you all. Very affectionately. CHAS". WEATHERBEE. HE FEARED TO PRESUME The American) tourist is so firmly con vinced that he is being cheated on all hands during his European travels that he occasionally oversteps the bounds of prudence. "What is the price of this pin?" asked a young man in a Paris shop, handling a small silver brooch of exquisite work manship. "Twenty francs, monsieur," said the clerk. "T-hat's altogether too much," said the young American. "It's for a present to my sister. I'll give you five francs for it" "Zen it would be I zat gave ze present to your sister," said the Frenchman, with a deprecatory shrug, "and I do not know ze young mademoiselle." JjBTTKU list.

taFiggg sw '!K,,weaifgpafijEjBJg' itfjamnjiBftaa; S&e WxW& BU Em.Mmx&m Wttsmmxg, glmrjcmlrcr 26, 1899 13 The Chorus Girl What See Must Have to Get a Position. I overheard this Temark, made Joy a young iromaa the other day in a Broad way cable car. says a writer in the New Tork. Herald: "There is many a heart (broken girl waiting at the stage door; -waiting for an engagement that can't be secured. I've 'tramped these streets from agency to agency, from manager to manager, till my shoes and my heart are pretty near ly worn out And I'm no nearer lnck than the day I came to town.1 I'm sick to death of it sSL And I wish to God I -was back 5iome again." "Why don't you go?" said her com panion. -Go? Me go back home? And get laughed at, and I told you so.' and all that? Xot much! Here I am, and here 1 11 stick if I drop in the streets. But I say it's a shame, all the same. Macy a girl that hasn't half my looks, and not a quarter of my voice and I not aWe to get an engagement. I say it's a shame." I talked over this topic with several managers in ew Tork yesterday and asked them to tell me candidly and fully just what is the situation just what chance a, girl has of getting an engage meat in a respectable theatrical com pany, or with a good comic opera or ganization. Klaw Erlanger know as much about that sort of thing as any one, for the reason thai they have numerous com panies of their own and are the booking .igenoy of a great many organizations hat visit the leading cities. Mr. Frank L Parley. who managed the Bostonians and other well known comic opera com panies, and is now starring Mies Alice Nielsen, is another among the several managers whom I talked with, and who 'sized up the situation." I first called on Klaw Brlanger at their great suKe of offices in the Hol land building, at Fortieth street and Broadway- A staff of clerks was busy over the books; managers, actors, agents were going in and out the place re sembled a big banking or commercial house, in which there was a constant rush of business. I was turned over to Mr Klaw, who received me courteously, and after we were seated said: "Well, fire ahead!" "Now, let us suppose," I said to Mr. Klaw, "I am a chorus girl." "I never would have suspected it," said Mr. Klaw, "or tf you are -your disguise in -trousers and high hat is perfect. Assure me you are a chorus girl and we'll en gage you at -oaee and put you on as a male Impersonator in one of our shews." "Consider that I have laughed. You are very funny. If I ever run a min strel show I'll put you on as end man. But to return to our muttons "Or our chocolate caramels if you are a chorus girl "Well, to return to our chocolate cara mels, Let' suppose I asn a chorus girl an inexperienced girl who wants to get on the stage, and I come to your office -eektag an engagement. Now, what would you say to me?" Whaf time does your train go, and -iv-e you a return ticket? At least that what I would feel like asking you. but -probably I wouldn't. I would be polite and ask 4f you had had any stage ox p"ience." "And I'd tell you I hadn't." "No. you wouldn't. Tou'd tell me you dd had a good deal of experience." "Bat I'm supposing I've bad none." Tou'd tell me you had. all the same. And when I questioned you I wouldn't question you at all, you know probably r stage manner would you'd fib most beautifully. But when he'd questioned ou he'd find out what you might as wll have told Mm first off, that you'd -en la a church chor anid sung at fun erals, and consequently felt well calcu lated to do a leading role in comic -ers." Then, you'd fire me for having re fected on one of your shows." 'Not at all. I'd think our companies had never visited your town, and thai ou wore talking about some fellow down ihe street. Anyhow, we'd soou get down business. You'd have come to stay an hour and talk it all over, and we w ouW be ready to say 'yes' or 'no to you m three minutes and a half." "And if you said -yesT Why?" "Because we saw you had a, haaasome face How nice of you." and a good figure and somehow 1-npraseed ue that you'd look well in the chorus raates." "But how could you know all this? There's many a heart broken waittnir at the stage door,' you know, and 'I've been tramping the streets from agency to agency till my shoes and. my heart are nearly worn out,' and consequently I look haggard and shabby and like thirty ents generally." Oa! no you don't. You've put the best 'v foremost, and Instead of looWnr like hirty cents you resemble at least thirty--(n dollars and a half. But, no matter taw you took, we can stae you up as .alckly as a bank teller can tell a good nt from a bad one quicker than a wink. It's our bovine." "And you say yesT "We say ye if you Impress us as the right sere If you. have good looks, good figure, iMfcofflgence and there Is a va cancy In one of our cootpamee, we say jea." "But I thought they had to stag in comic opera?" "They do sing, as a rule, in aerate opera. But some of them don't.' "But you haven't asked me tf can fiagr "No; baeenco we don't want to hear 'Sweet Marie' or The Banks of the Vi bash, tbswk you. this moroinar. But we then turn you over to our musical direc tor, who is either over at the theatre, or i he's here you. step into the next room, where we have a piano that is the Lremi rook ou which many a poor soul r.i been wrecked. We just mentally ask toge wreck yousself, os. if you really have a voice, to pass that daager polnt triumphantly." "Then I sing for yonr" "Tea you sing, after you have couched and said you have a cold yon all have syrias. that why you want to sing fee us. "Then I stag and you are dettehtedr 'Well, we don't fall over the chairs m our ilwafejb'. but we, or, rather, our ma steal dtrsesor hears yon ji notes wfear you do. if there Is a vacancy, as I satd, and yom'-m passed inspection for looks and vedee, we engage you, your address s taken, ssan that's the end of it." And I say. Ota! kind Mr. Manager. set so tanmkiat. Tat sure mamma "N yoe aenfe. You eay -Bow much r-rr "Of oancse. Aad how amch pet week do I fsatar- "If you've got t&c vuuuu I iaed you "get probably Jlo a week In the city, j and when you are on the road you get ns." "And how can I possibly spend all thatj money in one week?" "Exactly. It will be difficult at first. But you go around town and find a 'boarding house where you get a small but comfortable room for $7 a week, and you sit down and write to mamma that you have just been engaged by Klaw Er langer as prima donna, of one of their companies." "But I'm only a chorus girl?" "You write to mamma that you're a prima donna all the same, for it looks better that way for her to show the neighbors, and then you pray heaven our company may never strike your town." "And when am I put at rehearsals?" "At once. And if you mske good' that is, fulfill the promises your first inter view held out you're all right, and 'go on' &s soon as you have had a little training." "And If I don't 'make good?' "Wei!, of course, we can't keep you. But probably you're all right." "And is the field overcrowded?" "Yes and no. The young woman who has the good qualities I have named need not lack for an engagement in the chorus ranks of comic opera, musical comedy or spectacle in New York. The supply does not more than meet the de mand, but. mind you, I'm speaking oS the clasps I have named. The other, the unattractive, unmusical, heavy footed girl, so to speak, has little or no chance." "And how about the stories we hear of the chorus girls w ho have magnificent flats and broughams and all that on '515 per.' "Tommyrot, roost of it. There's a lot of talk about that sort of thing and very little in it. Most of it is in the imagina tion of the callow -youth, or the sensa tiona paragrapher, the youthful descend ant of Ananias. "Of course there are examples here and there of loose morals on the stage as well as in the drawing room, in theatri cal Hfe, as well as in 'swJora,' but a girl is not consequently bad because she's on the stage, nor are all the young fools and their money parted for flat rent ae readily as gossips declare. "Take the stones of that sort you hear and cut the purober in two, and halve them again, and take ten per cent off for net cash truth, and you will about strike it. The proportion of truth to flc t ion is about the seme that there is in the whispers about society women that are told among social scandal mongers a deal of chaff for the small amount of truth that can be threshed out by in vestigation." Then Mr. Klaw and I shook hands and I went on down the street. In the Knickerbocker building. In the heart of the theatre district, are the of fices of Mr. Frank L. Perley, Miss Alice Neilson's manager, formerly the helms man of the ship that bore the Bostonians on to fortlune. Well, we got at it at once, and this Is what he said: "Chorus girls can be tabulated into three classes" end I could Imagine Mr. Perley mentally fling them away into nice little green boxes and labelling them "Dollars." "Art" and "Johnnies" "first. the girl who is on the stage to earn her own livelihood, and finds the theatre the ehor&est cut to her goal; second, the hopeful girl of talent, who is there Trfth artistic ambitions and uses the position as a stepping stone to better hings; third, the girl who wants diversion and atten tion, gets in the glare of the calcium and hopes the Johnnies and every foolish man who fancies that every chorus girl is what she's painted up to be will no tice her. This latter girl thinks she may make a to 1 shot some day and marry the 'sapient scion -of socially distinguish ed parentage.' I don't know, by the way. which of the two gets fooled the most if the 49 to 1 happens to be the winner and the girl and the fool get married. "Girl No. 1. the worker for what the position brings her in dollars and cents. can't get rich m a hurry on J1S a week, but you would be soprised to learn what some of them some few of them save up before they quit the business. "There are some curious things about chorus girls, and here's one of the strange facts: A pretty face and a good voice seldom go together. Here's an otber if she sings well bet your bottn dollar she dances poor. Funny, isn't it?" "If she has nimble heels, the less said about her voice the better. See her slcip up the stage like a dancing fairy, and I'll .warrant shell go up a vocal scale Hke climbing a ladder. Of course, there are exceptions, but I'm speaking of the average chorus aspirant." PRETTY HEAVY. The Duke and Duchess of Coanaught, on their visit to Egypt, met with sev eral humorous experiences. One of them shows that even the Egyptians are not free from an unhappy weakness for say ing just the wrong thing at a critical mo ment After an Inspection of the troops by the Duke, outside of Omdorman. to which the Duchess had aceomsanied htm on horseback, the girths of her saddle sud denly gave way. There was no way of repairing them, and to enable her royal highness to ret back with the least possi ble inconvenience, a sort of sedan chair was improvised from a gun-carriage. On this she was carried by Egyptian gun ners, who were in charge of a native om- cer. On the way the Duchess saM: "I hope your men wffl not be tired after carrying me." and was surprised and amused to -receive the ungaiiant reply: "Indeed, no, madamn; you are no heav ier than the gun they are accustomed in carry!" OVER TiTE FAIiS. A Wisconsin paper reports an Indian's remarkable escape from death. w one of a driving crew that broke a big teat above Sturgeon Falls. He attempted to eross the river on a log, and. to the horror of the spectators, was carried over the tails. The falls are forty feet high and con sist of two pitches and the rapids. Or course, the man was rfea up for dead, and the driving crew thought it useless to search the river for his body, as tb logs were pJHng over the tells at a rapid rata The next morning, however, the Indian walked tato camp for breakfast He had been swept down the river and up against the bank, where be managed to crawl i em. rnwing owy a xew scratcaes and brutees, bet being, as be remarked, "rather tired. be lay dews and slept until daylight, and was aoae the worse for bm adventure. PALACE BOOM FOB J MEN.

A correspondent from Baltimore, Maryland, writes: CbJka-mmtlng uncer tha colder 5-l.Is of Ntw England cay be a paasun tiat wakes with the Daffodi'3. Teat c me before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty;" that grows with the growing summer, wanes in the autumn, and is a chrysalis by this time. But in our nimbler air, and in all the fair country that lies between the Blue PJdge and the sea, there are no times, no season In which one may not pursue the fascinating "old blue," the hardly less fascinating fabric quarreled over endlessly bs- the Lowestoftians and the Orientalists; the grandfather's clock or th,e claw-footed table. Friends la the north seem to think that we have but to halt at the first lonely farm house we come to, and. load ourselves with price less treasures bought of the unsuspect ing native for the proverbial song. It may have been so once It was so a3 recently aa 1STS, when there was not an antique shop in America, and they who rode a-huntlng must have had a glorious bag. Now, however, no city considers itself complete until it has half-a-dozen such shops, filled, for the greater part, with the most patent reproductions, and the old thing3 which could have been bought have mostly fallen into the hands of their agents. There are sportsmen of many kinds, however, and the shyness of the quarry but adds a fresh zest to the chase. We may not get what we go for when we drive abroad in quest of cupboard clas sics, and we may come home without the dragon bowl or the spindle-backed chair we had heard of as being hidden in this out-of-the-way farmstead, but we need never return empty-handed. Over many aniles of lovely country have we driven leisurely, for time was made for slave, and ve are free; slowiv, for we love our horses, and the roads are hilly and rough; happily, for from the crest of every rise of ground, and at every turn in the road, pictures of the sweetest and most intimate pastoral beauty are spread before us. and in every hollow we are sure to find a stream which has coaxed into growth all manner of wayside trees and shrub? and vines. It is impossible not to go a-gleaning while the horses rest, with their noses in the sweet, cool water. Even in winter, we can shake the powd ery snow from laurel and pine boughs and we can rob the birds of many a jeweled wand of alderberries or catbrier wreaths. And always over all hangs the haze soft, alluring, impalpable that gives our worn and ancient mountains their crisp descriptive name. The eighteenth century was the golden age of the potter and the cabinet-maker, and not less golden for the rich planters whose splendid homes lay along our water-ways and in our mountain valleys. The ships in which, they sent out their pargoes of tobacco and other colonial produce came back laden with the splen did mahogany fashioned by the London workmen of the day, the gorgeous silks and porcelains of tbe Orient, the objects of art and luxury called forth by the magnificent frivolity of the French court, and the triumphs of German and English potters. The houses of these old planters were not so comfortable as are ours, and they had but one fancy to gratify, where we had a hundred, but what they had must be of the best. Nor did the hardships of the revolutionary strugle prevent the rapkl accumulation of noosehold treasures, while the period just after the war of 1S12 was marked by a very great influx of ware. le prec ious, perhaps, but hardly less interest ing. It was then that our foreiather bought great stores of the splendid blue pottery of Staffordshire pictured with "The Beauties of America," the landing of LaFayette. the McDonough victory. the portraits of our national heroes and many another subject likely to appeal to patriotic hearts. Times change, so it is not strange that by and by our forebears outgrew the old chairs and tables, the bowls and tu reens, and that the long mirror that had lost its gilding, the broken harp-backed chair, or tbe chest of drawers whose earring was chipped and whose brasses were rusty, were given over to tbe shades of the attic, the tender mercies of some favorite servant, or into the hands of one of the poor whites cared for by the gentlefolk. Then the war came, and one of Its sad details is that often recalled in fireside talk- tbe scat tering and loss of the treasured belong ings of many a vanished generation. Sometimes by pillage, sometimes by fire oftener reluctantly "parted with" for the sake of their bitterly needed money value, to some stranger who 'neither knew nor would have heeded tbe sacred associations which made them dear. Fortunately, much is still left la the bands of tbe rightful owners, and is kept with a care beautiful to see.

One ty one the old places pass Into new hands, and the household goods are scattered by the rough breath of the man who "cries" the sale, which. Is al most sure to follow a funeral. And a sale Is an event of no small im portance in country society. It has been placarded or posted for weeks, on way side trees, at cross-roads stores, and school house fences. People have ar ranged their work so that the day may be left free for its pleasures and profits. They gather early at the dismantled place, and walk about sedately, examin ing -the various "lots" displayed. The men. In Sabbath array, stand stiffly about. They have hitched their horses to the rail fence, the farm dogs lying on guard beneath the wagon. They have es timated, slowly and correctly, the stock, the farm implements, the un gathered crops, and they have made exact calcu lations as to their own probable bids. The women, also in Sabbath raiment, and with the consciousness of an unimpeach able lunch-basket, let him come who may to eat her fried chicken and her beaten biscuit, and whose poundcake is known to be second to none in tbe coun try, these, too, walk about sedately among the household effects and the poultry, and make mental notes. They do not say much They have each a goodly purse of butter money in their deep pockets, but they do not intend to squander it without getting a satisfac tory return. They are links in the end less chain of countryside kinship, aad so they have much to hear and tell of fam ily ami neighborhood happenings. They give and receive inestimable receipts for the cure of this or that ache or pain, as well as the cure for the matchless hams for which the valley is noted, or the quince-marmalade which Is the pride of some special borough They have a long day full of social enjoyment and they drive off contentedly into the golden evening haze, through which thousands of crows are flying to roost, the air full of their far cries, which are, to the true lover of the Blue Ridge country. tb dear est sounds in nature.

A few days later a small negro appeared behind a large wheelbarrow, on which lay the wheel and a small spint-bototmed chair of most uncommonly comfortable build. A call on the neighbor brought forth this explanation: "The executor said he ought to have fifty cents for the wheel, and I offe-ed him a quarter. That didn't seertf to suit him, so I said, 'Let's jut say tftlrty five cents, and be done with it,' so Um't what you owe me, ma'am r-ome fine bits of Chippendale trs stl'l owned by old slaves, and more thai one of them which now g.:ice stately t.oraeb have been rescued from tenements reek ing with smoke and grime.

A Lion Hunt Plain Account of Jiow Two Bis Ones Were Killed. It was during the early winter of 1SS4 that I had m? first experience in hunting large game in Africa. Although I had been a resident of South Africa for sev eral years, my duties as mining engineer in the employ of the DeBeers Mining company had taken up all my time, with the .exception of a few "off" days spent in the veldt country of the Transvaal hunting African gazelle and their much larger cousins, oryx. "While I had man aged on one occasion to bring down two of the former diminutive creatures (but little larger than an American jackrab hit). I was never able to get within rise shot of the wary oryx- For a number of years a feeling of dis content had been manifested among the foreign or 'Uitlander" population of the Dutch republic caused b3 the passage of obnoxious alien laws by the Boers. This feeling finally resulted in a haK-hearted insurrection, during which Dr. Jameson of the British army made his famous raid Into the Transvaal, which resulted in the death of some fifty 3oers and twice that number of English soldiers. Although I had always had much sympathy for the original settlers of the Transvaal, ray surroundings at the time were such that I was forced to take part in the upris Ingi and as a result was Incarcerated in tbe grim, one-story prison at Johannes burg for several days. When, through the influence of friends. I was liberated, I at first thought of returning to tbe United States, but as mining engineers were then scarce in South Africa, the company at last induced me to remain, agreeing to send me out of tbe Transvaal at once upon a prospecting tour into the wilds of Central Africa. Making op a caravan or "kafila," as K is called there, for the purpose of pene trating the wilderness, is by no means a small undertaking First and fore most in importance Is the selection of competent and faithful guides aad at tendants. I managed to get together a party of twenty, composed of two white men (myself and and Englishman by the name of Wilson, who was to take direct charge of the kafila). twelve Matabeies, five Kafiirs. and an old Zulu, by name Gan Llba (which I soon shortened into Gan), who was said to be remarkably expert in hunting large game. He was a striking fettow, several Inches above six feet in height, straight as an arrow, his chest, back, and limbs covered with bunches of muscles as bard ss boas. He was a leopard hunter by "profession," and for many years had made a business of ridding the country of these trouble some pests. We all left Johannesburg in the latter part of April, with instruction to pro ceed by rail to Port Lorenzo, where a small coasting steamer had been char tered to take us to the mouth of the Zam besi River, Mozabique. We were to fol low this stream inland for about three hundred miles, then move north to Lake Bangweolo, latitude ten degrees ten min utes south, thence along the eastern bor der of the Congo Free State ten degrees and then east to the coast, striking some Of the many small trading posts between Cape Deigado and Zanzibar, whence we could embark for home. In addition to our arms, we had six camels, twenty donkeys, and tweoty-slx ponies, also one thousand five hundred pounds of "gee." one thousand five hundred pounds of rice, a large assortment of cookiag sots, water casks, and condensers, aad several hundred small trinkets for presents. In due time we were aboard tbe steamer, and after a very rough .journey of nearly a week's duration, were landed "bag and baggage" upon the barren shores sX Mozambique, a nule north of tbe Zam besi. This is indeed a most desolate eoua try; the Zambesi and its fiats a broad ribbon of silver and green, bordered bare and there by black cage split tbe des ert from east to west To tbe north and east as far as the eye can reach stretch es a waste of mesa-laad. saad cactus. sand, black rock, and more saad saad that dazzles the eye like snow, with here and there a cluster of palms sad jungle grass, which indicate where periodical springs rise out of tbe blistering earth to street Mother Zambesi To tbe east Is tbe ceaseless wash of tbe quiet sea, with its short reefs of gray coral, shining: white In the eternal saosbiae. aad over all a dreary deathlike stillness, broken only whea tbe deadly simoon sweeps the saad ia whirling clouds from tbe north, burying all before It. Looking westward over tbe dreary waste of desert, sne eaa hardly believe that but a few hundred miles sway was a land second to aase la point of fertility. One evening ia the latter part of May we encassped upon the oatskirts of a we4i of unusual size, pitching oar teats sear a large spring, tbe- water of. which was as dear as crystal sad very cost.
