A Chase for an EIOping Sweetheart.

Yesterday morning an clipping couple
arrived in this city. On the same train
was pursuer who had followed the fu-
gitives for four days and nights, but
without their knowledge. John w.
Brack and Miss Elizabeth Morgan, both
of Jasper County, Mo-, were betrothed
and the time set for their marriage was
last Friday night. On the same day a
rival, Thomas Fremont, induced the
expectant bride to elope with him and
they took the train south. The rightful
claimant took the train in hot pursuit
He followed them for four days and
nights without sleeping and at Marshall
took the same train with the clipping
couple for this city. On arriving here
they engaged rooms at the Pacific
House, but they had been hardly shown
to their rooms when their pursuer, at
tended by a policeman, put in an ap-
pearance Thomas Fremont proposed
to leave the decision to the lady. After
some hesitation, and with a show of
great regret at taking leave of the man
with whom she had eloped, she made
her decision in favor of the gentleman
to whom she was first engaged and de-
cided to cast her destiny and fortune
with Mr. Brack. Mr. Fremont, the dis
appointed eloper, relinquished all claims
to the lady and took his leave. Ac-
cordlngly, and as happy finale to the
episode, Mr. John W. Brack and Miss
Elizabeth Morgan were united in the
legal bonds of matrimOny at the Pacific
House yesterday morning Shreveport

HydrOphObia in Dogs.

Sir Thomas Watson has recently pub
lished an essay on hydrOphObia in dogs,
from which it appears that among the
earliest symptoms of the disorder is a
tendency of the eyes of the afflicted ami
NAL to squint and to glisten unnaturally.
The diseased dog continually changes
its position, gazes with apparent sus-
piciOn on all who come near it, and fire.
quently ticks some part of its own body
upon which a scar will generally be
found. 1t becomes capriciOus in its
eating, and will attempt TO swallow all
sorts of incongruOus things, such as
bits of string, coal and straw. As the
disease develops the creature grows
impatient of correction, is snappish and
inclined to bite, while saliva constantly
flows from its mouth. The disease runs
its course in from four to eight days,
and when its presence is suspected the
dog should at once be securely isolated
and watched and in day or two killed
if it is undoubtedly rabid. During the
last fifty years hydrophobia has greatly
increased, at least in the United King
dom, and especially in large manufactur-
ing and commercial centers, where dogs
are commonly kept under conditions
altogether unfavorable to their health.
Two years ago the disease was alarm
ingly prevalent in Paris, and not less
than $500 dogs were killed there by
order of the authorities in the months
of July and August. The great heat of
the weather with which this city is now
afflicted undoubtedly favors the circum-
stances in which rabies is developed,
and every means to arrest its spread
should be taken before it appears.-N.

through the bedroom and into the
ticket office. My eyes were wide open
again by this time. The light from the
dark lantern had increased. but its rays
were now turned toward the safe. OBJ
viOuslv the robbeI believed the treasure
that he sought was there. waited I'M
til he had knelt down to examine the
lock, and then, with steps as noiseless-
" as his own, slipped from the bed
and toward the half-opened door. So
intent was he in examining the safe
that it was not until | was within
reach of him that he heard me. He
sprang to his feet, bringing the glass of
the lantern full into my face and reach
ing for his revolver, which he had laid
upon the top of the safe. But he was
too late. With the rusty old pistol,
held by its long barrel, | dealt him a
crushing blow on the head Just as his
fingers grasped his own weapon. He
fell heavily, without uttering a groan.
The lattern was extinguished as it fell
and with trembling fingers | struck a
match and lighted the lamp in the Of

face of the robber, | saw that blood
was flowing from the wound | had in

gent in expression. l had no ZINE to no.

was past, the need of aid. So, after

Halfway on the road met a covered
carriage, drawn by one horse. | took

| cried out at the top of my voice:

Whoever was in the carriage must
have heard me but the horse only quick
ened his sharp trOt and disappeared in
the darkness.
They give me great deal more credit,
the people of Red Ravine, for that
nights adventure than | deserve. And
| do not blame them for laughing how
things came out. For when a party of
us got back to the station my uncon-
scious burglar had disappeared and the
tracks next morning showed that the
covered carriage which | had met ON
the road had drawn up at the platform.

The Chinese skill in dwarfng plants
is well known. The Chinese ladies
wear in their bosoms Hittle dwarf fur
trees, which, by a carefully adjusted
system of starvation. have been reduced
to the size of button-hole flowers. These
remain fresh and evergreen in their
dwarf state for a number of years, just
as tir trees in mountains are evergreen,
and nus are excellent symbols of per-
petuity of love, to express which they
are used by the ladies of the highest
rank in the Celestial Empire.

HIGH CAPITALIZATION

One OF the curses still hangin {
about the pursuit of mining, is high
capitalization. For example, here is
= nine which has been sunk to the
depth of 100 feet, and shows more OF
less valuable mineral all the way down.
1t has paid very little, if anything,
above expenses. The instances are
rare in which scch developments have
done more than pay expenses. Tie

further exploration it can be made to
pay something, it is sold for $40, 600
and at once stocked for FIVE millions
or ten millions, the first price OF
shares being from two to three dollars.
The mine can never be made to pay
ever a small interest on the par value
of the stock. No mine in Colorado

for they are nothing eise-oY thi:
character. 1t is simply glitterVrard
that car serve no good purpose, and
will not fail to intlict damage upon
the country. There isn't a mine on
the American continent that will pay
a reasonable interest on ten millions
OF capital. There are less than dozen
mines in Colorado to-day whose in
trins.c value is even one million.
There are very few worth half a mil
lion, and thousands Of so-called mines
which are not worth developing.

property is of great extent, and may,

Though there is no certainty of such

posed to stock 1t for two millions.
The whole concern can be bought for
less than $4,000 cash. None Of the
owners have ever been able to make
their mines pay, and there is nothing
in the records or in existing condi-
tons to justify anything more than a
moderate price for their possessions.
Yet there are many who would be
willing to take the chances on it at a
reasonable price. - Deaaey Mtcy-

A circular from the commissioner
of the general land office has been
issued in regard to settlement with
innocent parties who have entered
land under fraudulent soldiers and
sailors scrip. The circular details the
rules for establishing claims, for re-
payment of fees, purchase money,
commissions, etc, and states that the
best documentary proof must be fur
nished as TO the validity Of claims.
This action on the part Of the depart
ment has been deemed necessary, IN
view Of the fact that large number OF
forged soldiers certificates have been
filed in various parts of the country,
and particularly in the west, and land
taken under them. Under such
fraudulent action bona fde settlers

A STERLING OLD POEM.

Who shall judge man from his manners
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
CrlImpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings.
Satin vests can do no mole.
There are streams OF crystal nectar
Ever flowing out of stone;
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overthrow.
God, who counts by souls, not dis sses,
Loves and prospe s you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man appraised above his fellows
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters-rulers- lords, remember
That your meinest kinds are men
Men Of labor, men of feeling,
Men of thought and men Of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans enuobling name.
There are foam embroidered oceans;
There are little wood clad rils :;
There are feeble inch high sap.ings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For to Him all vain dis motions
Are as pebbles onsthe sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF nations wealth and fame,
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened Oh the same
By the sweat Of others fareheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifts his feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loneliness and light.
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny right.
God, whose worldwide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression with its titles
But as pebbles on the sea.
