What Their Business Manager Says OF
Their Northern Trip and Its Objects.
Mr.. Frank A. Small, business manager for
the New Orleans Continental Guards tour
through tho north, is at the Riggs. A RE-
PUBLICAN reporter asked him about tho
tour and tho composition of tho guards. "Our
object" said Mr.. Small, ais to sec the north
orn country and not TO make money. Each
member pays his own expenses. Tho finan-
cial and social standing of tho guards
may bo known when l say that as
privatos in tho ranks arc Gov. Nc
Emery, Gov. Frank Nichols, the mayor, and
city recorder Of New Orleans, the chief OF the
FIRE department. and many of tho most prom
inent lawyers, merchants, aud citizens of that
city The money derived from our tableauX
will go to erect memorial armory in New
Orleans. We shall not refuse any courtesies

pitality."

Major Andre, tho battle Of Cowpens, Mol
Pitcher at Monmouth, the battle of Yorktown,

"Our uniform is fac similo of tho old con-

HELENA, MONT, June 27.-At 8 o'clock
Saturday morning while the Helena bound
Deer Lodge coach was crossing the main
range of the Rocky mountains, 19 miles west
of this city, two men, with handkerchiefs
tied across the lower part Of their faces,
stepped from the brush and ordered the
driver to halt. John Mccormick, post
trader at Fort Missoula, was on the box with
the driver and drawing six shooter quickly
opened fire on the highwayman. One was
badly hurt and crawled back into the brush.
The other returned McCormick's fire, seriously
wounding one of the wheel horses The
team took fright and ran and was soon out
of the robbers range. Three other passen-
gers were on board but were unarmed. Tho
treasure box was on the coach following the
one attacked. Officers from Helena are now
on the trail of the robbers.

Revenue Agent Horton,s Denial.

Revenue Agent Charles NJ Horton, having
been charged in q newspaper with blackmail
Commissioner Evans telcgraphed Mr.. Horton
for an explanation. Before the telegram
reached Mr.. Horton he had written a letter
to the commissioner denying the charges in
toto and declaring his intention to sue for
libel the parties charging. He said the charge
probably arose from the fact that in 1865 or
1869 he found at Mr.. Carter's store u lot of
distilled spirits unstamped. AS the firm
pleaded ignorance of the law, Mr.. Horton,
after consultation with the collector OF the
district permitted the firm TO have the spirits
properly stamped and made no official seizure
OF prosecution. The firm, he says, has been
found violating the internal revenue, and
have tried 10 compromise the case,

LydecIScr Says OF the Work.


Lydeckcr Says OF the Work.
Mai. Lydecker told a REPUBLICAN, reporter
last night that tho report that tho worlmen
had struck rock in the aqueduct shaft near
Howard university was true.
HHow deep has the rock been bored so far p
asked the reporter.
"Oh, several feet. / am sure that we
have reached solid rock. The formation seems
to carry out that idea"
How about tho gold quartz which is all
legged TO have been found in the shaft2"
al know nothing about that save what
have seen in tho newspapers"
"What is the width of the shaft2"
"It was seven feet square when COM
menced, and when rock was struck it was four
feet In the mean"
"Will the aqueduct be now carried onp
"Of course. 1t would have been anyhow.
Our idea was that rock would have been
struck at tide water or twenty-five feet above
it. We have reached 1t at thirty feet above
tide water. The result may be said TO have
exceeded our expectations. The dip Of the
rock bed is also in the direction expected.
You know the shaft would be east OF
Four-and- d-a-half street ii that street
was extended, and at Eighth street
rock of the same formation and
angle exists. / believe the stone is portion
of the same formation which underlies this
entire neighborhood."
"Do you think you will find the same rock
formation all the way to the reservoirW
"lt would be too good piece of luck to
find an entire rock formation as far as we
want to go. We cannot hope for such good
fortune"
"Well, major, have the expectations Of tho
engineers been fulfilled p

What is the longest term of mules
life? The writer once knew mule
whose age was satisfactorily proved to
to be forty-tiye years. and at that age
the animal was turned out into the
woods to die late in the fall in Northern
Michigan, on the completion of a rail
road job on which it had been work
ing. In the spring the mule was fonnd
at farmers gate in very fair condi-
ton, having browsed around in the
woods all the winter. 1t was taken in
and was able to do light work around
the farm for some years longer. What
its later history has been is not known.
Perhaps it still lives. This mule story
is surpassed by the following: Lieuten-
ant Koebbe, stationed at Mount Ver-
non Barracks, Alabama, has reported
to the War Department, that a white
mule which has been at that post for
forty-fiye years, is about to be sold,
and the officers asked permission to
buy him and keep him at their own ex-
pense. The petition went through the
regular channels, and General Sherman
submitted the case to the Secretary of
War with the following report:
| have seen that mule, and whether
true or false, the soldiers believe it was
left at Big Spring, where Mount YER
non Barracks now are, at the time
General Jackson's army camped there,
about 1890. Tradition says it was
once sorrel, but now it is white from
age. The Quartermaster' Department
will be charged with ingratitude if that
mule is sold or the care of maintaining
it thrown on the charitable officers Of
the post. I advise it to be kept in the
fed and maintained till
death. | think that mule was at Fort
Morgan, Mobile Point, when l was
there in 1912.
The Secretary of War thereupon
made the following order:
'Let this mule be kept and well cared
for as long as he lives
No doubt this mule was once owned
by General Washington. But, strange
as the story may be, it does not answer
the question above propounded.-N. Y.

The Town Of Khart0um.

khartOuIn Is an important city of
some forty thousand inhabitants. made
up of BerhGrs, Soudan negroes. Bis
hareen and other Arabs, Fellaheen from
Lower Egypt, and a spriDkling of Nj
Dians and the wandering tribes of
Darfur and other lands of the West and
South. The city presents a Kaleidoscope
OF humanity that would puzzle the
ethnologist. 1t is about nine hundred
miles in q direct line from Cairo and
about one thousand miles following the
winding of the Nile The town is the
principal place in that region. and is
situated among palm-trees on the
western bank of the Bahr el-Azrek. or
Blue Nile. This is close to the junction
CT that branch with the Bahr-el-Aviad.
or the White Nile. 1t is this position.
at the union OF the two main branches
of the Egyptian river, which gives Khar-
toum its strategical importance, and
made it long the headquarters of the
slave trade in Upper Egypt. For some
years past the telegraph extended as far
south as this, and travellers who visited
the place have been entertained by the
ruling pasta in a style not reminding
them of Paris.
The city has been threatened by the
False Prophet since October of last year,
and preparations were made to receive
him by throwing UP forts and digging
ditch around the town. The majority
OF the inhabitants of the city sympathize
with the rebels, and have been ready to
turn upon the Egyptians and receive
the False Prophetwith open arms when
ever he should appear in their neigh
borhood. The direct route of communi-
cation with the city is. of course, up the
Nile, but this route is beset with great
difficulties. A short cut is taken across
the desert round the famous cataracts,
but on one portion of this route there
is n stretch of one hundred miles where
water can be obtained in only one place
and even there it is so impregnated
with salt as to be undrinkable by men
and only endurable to the tough stomach
of the camel This portion of the road
is marked by the bleaching bones of
men and camels who have persisted of
hunger and thirst in traversingit. The
most available route from Lower Egypt
to khartoum is by Sual;im, a port on
the Red Sea, where a desert road. 28S
miles long, leads to Ber5er, from which
point the navigation of the Nile up to
Khartoum is unobstructed Chicaqo
