4 CONFIDENCE" VICTIM.

by Il Confidence lMdn--THe Old Ereigh.
Story.
On Wednesday night a stranger from
Iowa was swindled by ''slick'' confidence
man. He was worked on the old freight
bill game. They met by chance !,
in the Manitoba depot. The
Iowa man was waiting for train which
would not be due for an hour. The conf
dence man was not long in finding the fact
out, nor in learning considerable of the
andtecedents of the stranger. A peculiar
coincidence were both destined for
the same town. A stroll to see
about some goods which were ex-
pected by the con. was taken. Arriving
about a block from the depot they were
hailed by Confidence No. ., who said to
Confidence No. l, ''Those goods have
arrived "All right said Confidence No.
1. what's the charges ''Ninety
dollars" was the reply. II left my money
at the depot, and am going to the
Nicollei house. Won't you turning
to the Iowa frieGd loan
me $50 fora few momc0.s?" Yes. he would,
and handed it out. He was asked to go to
the depot 10 stand guard over a hand
sachel behind the ladies' room door. The
sachel contained a large amount Of gold.
The Iowa victim was very accommodate
ing and went back, but no baggage was
found. The truth then dawned upon his
mind, but it was too late. The confidence
men had absconded.

lMOnStrOuS Fungi.

Visitors to ancient wine vaults or
damp coalpits are sometimes astonished
by the curious fungi which drape the
walls with gruesome tapestry; but
every instance Of this kind is thrown
into the shade by the extraordinary
grOwths which have recently been dis
covered in some of the deserted Mexican
silver mines of Nevada. The dark,
warm timber galleries and drifts Of these
old workings, abandoned to themselves
for years, have silently given birth to a
monstrous brood of morbid vegetation.
which, apparently, has no parallel in the
regions of the sunlight and the upper
air. In general they are all of a snowy
whiteness, and some of the hooded
masses rise up several feet from the
ground like sheeted ghosts. Others. in
the distance, take the form of bearded
goats or sleeping owls. Here great
punches of long. white hair hang down
from the roof and their huge, pulpy
masses cucumber the floor like BRAIN
stone coral. The latter appear to have
sprung miraculously from something
spilled upon the rocks in past days.
-::nile the former seem to have crystal
lied ike hoar-frost from the atmosphere
itself. Some of the rounded masses have
actually lifted up from the floor blocks
OF stone weighing ten. fifty, and even
100 pounds to height of three feet,

the air is dryer, the fungi are far less
bulky than below, and much firmer in
texture. The shapes here are, however.

The Minister Ceased to Wonder.

Apropos Of the Egyptian trouble, we
wish to relate little story. the circum.
stances Ct which occurred during our
trip to the Holy Land several years O,
more ago.
He was devout Christian, and had
made the study of the Bible and prop
er understanding of the Big Book the
highest aim in life.
When he arrived at the sea of Galilee
his heart was filed with awe, and he
felt enervated and cleansed by the
thought that he was gazing on the very
spot where his Saviour once stood.
Approaching the boatman he address
ed him IN his choicest Arabic, and with
Bible and commentary in hand awaited
an answer.
''Ah! what 'smatter til yer? Why
don't yer talk United States?" asked the
man contemptuously. He was a real
live Yankee who was picking up a living
by ferrying tourists across the sea.
$50 this is the Sea of Galilee," de.
voutly murmured the searcher after
knowledge.
t'Ya-a-s."
"And this is where our Saviour walked
upon the waters?"
"Ya-a-s."
''How much will you charge to take
me to the exact spot?"
"Wa-al, you look like clergyman,
an I won't charge you nothin'."
The devout one boarded the boat, and
at last was pointed out where the mir.
acle is said to have occurred. After
gazing at the waters, and dividing his
time between glances at his books and
devout CALCULATIONS of satisfaction. the
searcher signified his willingness to re-
turn.
''Charge you $40 to take you back, >
said the speculative Yankee.
..But you said you would charge
nothing"
NAV, didn't. Nothin' to bring you
out. Twenty to git back"
"And do you charge everybody 500 te
take them back?" asked the astonished
searcher.
'fYa-a-s. That's abeout the fgger.
"Well, then, said the devout one, as
he went down into his clothes. emo
wonder our Saviour got out and walked.

ing voice in it. Friendly assurances in
fact had been received from the govern.
ment of Great Britain upon the
subject. The French ministry would
without doubt conduct affairs
with prudence, fostering spirit of conc,l-
iation, but it would not thwart the major
ity. The ministry were prepared to con-
tinue their functions. The chamber re-
ceived the speech coldly. failing to cheer
even its most vigorous and effective por-
lions, and at times there was ill-suppress-
ed sneers on the part Of some members.
The extreme left of the French chamber
have, after a meeting in which there was
a broad discussion of the subject, decided

PARIS, Nov. 9.-Duclerc, in his ministe-
rial statement read at the opening of the

PARIS, Nov. 9.-After the sitting of the
chamber of deputies to-day, the members
of the left held a meeting and passed a
resolution in favor of revising the consti-

AN AMERICAN OSTRICH FARM.

DR.. PrOthrc, Of BMcnOs tyres, to Start One
IN n Southern city and LO,cer the Price
Of Feathers.
New York World.
Twenty-Five ostriches, ten male and
twelve female, were taken to Central park
yesterday by DR.. Prothre, who will keep
them there until he has selected suitable
place for an ostrich farm in America. The
price of ostrich feathers of which are
imported and pay twenty per cent. duty
is very high, and in order to supply the
trade farm was started about four years
ago at Hoboken by Mr.. Charles Reiche.
There were only six birds on the farm and
for while they thrived very we'll, but sud-
denly the birds began to fall sick and in a
short time all of them were dead. They
were dissected and it was found that they
had gained fat rapidly but not strength.
DIR. Prothre was found yesterday aboard
the steamship HORROR, now lying in the
East river, and was asked by a reporter
about his birds. 1--WE arrived from Buenos
Ayres Wednesday, said DR.. Prothre, 'hav-
ing the twenty-five ostriches on board.
These birds are part of large cargo re-
Gently shipped from the southern part of
Africa to Buenos Ayres. They are all about
eight years old. Some of them have bred
and the others are now ready to breed. but
the cold weather will stop them from so
doing. You probably want to know why
have brought the birds to this country.
I will tell you. have large ostrich
farm in Buenos Ayres and have been ex-
tensively exporting ostrich feathers from
there. The birds are all brought from
Africa. The idea now is to start similar
farm here in the United States. 1 will
shortly go through the Southern states and
select q place for farm. The birds can
live here in any place where the tempera-
ture does not fall five degrees
below the freezing point. Feathers
are now sent from Africa.
Il value them at S1,40O each. They are
very dear, but their feathers are of a much
finer kind than any in New York. Feath-
ers In general use here come from Barbary
birds, in the northern part of Africa"
Glow often do you pluck the birds
feathers?"
"Every seven months we cut the feathers
and allow the quilts to grow about q month
longer. White feathers are worth S175 a
pound"
"What do 20 feed the birds on?'.
Generally we give them grain and grass.
If the weather is not too cold see no rea-
son why farms should not be started here.
All the birds want is place to run in and
some bones, small stones and grass to feed
on. The cost of keeping them is little or
nothing"
DR.. Prothre further said that he would
start farm in New York state, but that he
expected in a few years there would be
many farms in the south, and that on &C.
count of the high prices of rent here he
would be unable to compete with them.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Mr. VIM. Dowd. pres.
ident. j. B. Carson, general manager, and
several directors of the Hannibal & st.
Joe railroad were in the city yesterday.
They we're on their way back to the East.
having attended the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the road, and made a tour
of inspection over the company's lines.
In conversation President Dowd stated
that there would be no change in the man
agement of the road, and that he would re-
main president of the company, f.r the
present atIeast. In regard to the report
that the Hannibal & ST. Joe contempIates
the early construction of a new extension
from Hannibal to Chicago, Mr.. Dowd stated
that no action regarding the matter had
yet been taken, but would come up at
directors meeting, to be held in New York
on his return. He had no doubt that the
construction of the new extension would
be agreed upon. Mr.. Gould was strongly
in favor OF constructing the new railroad.
as he had become convinced during his
Western trip that such an extension to
Chicago would not only enhance the value
Of the Hannibal & st. Joe, but also of the
Missouri Pacific, which needs an indie
pendent outlet for its Kansas and Texas
division from Hannibal. Mr.. Dowd also
thought that the Hannibal & st. Joe would
ultimately be consolidated with
Gould'S Missouri Pacific system.
but this would probably not take place
until after the completion of the new
extension to Chicago. Mr.. Dowd ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased with Mr..
Carson's management of the road, and
said he found the line in highly satis-
factory and prosperous condition, and had
no doubt that it would prove valuable
investment to those who lately purchased
a controlling interest in it.
