A Wild Family.

The Cochecton correspondent of the
Port Jervis On. " Gazette tells OF a
lad in that place who is called "Tama-
rac,n who stole horse from Homes
dale man for whom he was working,
took the animal to his fathers residence
in Tamarac Swamp, near Cochecton,
killed it, sold the hide, while the family
ate the flesh, of which they are very
fond. The horse was worth about $3.50,
and its owner has had the lad arrested
and taken to Honesdale. He will prob
ably be put in a place where he will be
fed on something besides horse meat.
The horse hide was found at SeGg's
tannery, where it had been sold by the
young thief. The "Tamaracs are
Dutch. Their home is a curiosity. The
house is situated in a deep swamp; is
built of poles, rooted with branches,
pine boughs and mud. Their bed is on
the ground, covered with leaves, and in
this miserable hovel do the parents and
all their children sleep and eat. The
ground arou1d this hut is strewn with
the skulls and other bones of horses,
sheep, dogs, COWS, ETC., that have been
taken to the place, slaughtered and
eaten. 1t can not be expected that a
family living in this way will bring up
their offspring in q strictly moral man

A 800, 900 Wardrobe.

We have been allowed to inspect the
most extensive and elegant wardrobe
ever made or owned on this side of the
Atlantic Ocean, and probably never be-
fore surpassed in the world, outside of
the homes of the nobility, in extent and
completeness. 1t is the property of a
San Francisco lady, young and beauti-
full, whose statuesque form they become
most regally. She has just left for an
Eastern city preparatory to making the
grand tour of Europe. There were in
the collection between thirty and forty
robes of all kinds and of every variety
of rare device. Only the finest, the
richest, the rarest, the most delicate
meterial had been used in their creation
silks, satins, velvets, and snowy laces,
such as envelop the form like an encas-
ing snowdrift. Some of them came
from Worth, the Paris man-milliner, at
whose shop they were ordered six
months ago.
The entire wardrobe, with its attend
ant paraphernalia, cost 100000, not
including diamonds, with solid gold
dressing-cases and innumerable toilet
articles OF luxurious conception and
fabulous cost.-San Francisco Cisr0Htcte

which forced down prices, and there
they have remained.
One hundred and forty-fve thou

Among the shipments last year

"A Nevada engineer is perfecting a
plan of heating city by means of heat
generated in subterranean mines. The

The coal production of the world
has increased enormously since 1915. In
that year Great Britain produced 81,
100000 tons; in 1874, 125, ,043.000 tons !;
Belgium, 1915, 4,960,077; in 1874, A.
669,000. France, 1915, 4, 141, ,617; 1874,
16,949,0 900. Prussia, 1915, 100000; !;
1874, Al, $4,000. In the United States
the production in 1874 was nearly ten
times that in 1915.
The State of Georgia lets out its
cOnvictS for S14 a year apiece to COM

which the former agrees to pay the lat
ter 100000 in yearly installmentS of
S25,000 for the use of all convicts for
twenty years from April, 1879.
"A patent for compressing tea was
lately brought to the notice of the ex-
hibition of sanitary appliances in Man
chester, England. 1t congresses the
loose leaves of tea into one-third of their
original bulk, and, in breaking up the
fiber of the leaves, opens the small cells
which have been closed by the process
of drying, and which are not thorough
ly opened when merely infused in boil
ing water. Ghe result is gain of from
40 to so per cent in strength.
The free oil pipe" proposition,
which has excited great amount of
discussion in Pennsylvania, is to build a
capacious conduit, through which the
crude product of the oil regions may
run to Baltimore, thence to be shipped
to Europe. This is bad news for Phila-
delphia, whittier much of the oil now
goes, and threatens the destruction of
the refinery industry in this country,
which now gives direct and indirect en-
ployment to 100000 men.

DEATH OF ORION.
President of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.

New York, April 22.-Hon. VIM.
Orton, President of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, died at his resi-
dence at 1880 this morning. The i'm
mediate cause of the death of Mr.. Orton
was apoplexy, with which he was strick-
en- at IL O'Clock last night.
Mr.. Orton's death was very sudden
and unexpected. He was at the Epis-
copal church yesterday, and participant
ed actively in the successful movement
to extinguish its debt, dined with his
family, drove to the Central Park, and
appeared to be in better than his usual
health until II o'clock at night, when
he was stricken with paralysis, and
passed into a comatose state, accompa-
MED by stentorious breathing, and SO
remained until relieved by death at
seven this morning. Another victim
to excessive mental strain and over
work. 1t is no --disparagement to Or
toms able associates in the Western
Union Company to say that there is
none to fully fill the vacancy made by
his death. His was master mind in
many respects. Without being law
yer, he combined fine legal instincts
with broad statesmanlike views and
qualities, and unusually quick, shrewd
perceptions and knowledge of men and
their character. In all cases his pur-
pose was to be just, The arrangements
for his obsequies have not yet been de
cided upon.

THE EXODUS.
Labors OF the Liberian Exodus Assoei-
ton.

Charleston, S. c., April 22.--The ne
groes of Charleston have been intense
ly excited for several days past in the
hourly expectation of the sailing of the
Azor, with the first ship load of emf
grants sent to Africa by the Liberian
exodus association. Various circum-
stances, however, have delayed her de-
parture. The main impediments being
the want of cash, and the propensity
of the blacks, despite all the precau-
tions Of the custom house officers, to
crowd larger number of passengers
between decks than the laws allows.
The task of examining the ship and
landing surplus emigrants was pei
formed no less than three times, and it
was not until guard was put aboard
by the collector, that the ship could be
kept in condition to be properly cleared.
Yesterday, however, all arrangements
were completed, and about eight O'Clock
this morning the Azor was being towed
ed out to sea by the tug Wade Hamp-
ton, being accompanied to the bar by
two harbor steamers crowded with
black excursionists, while the whole
battery and wharves were thronged
with thousands of negroes, shouting
and waving hats and handkerchiefs as
the ship bore out to sea. The Azor
carries $50 passengers, about one-fifth
of whom are young children.
