wss the East Coast settled ny Mortimer
In the Middle AgesS

III tne siiuuie hBes'
The old controversy as to whether or
not the east coast Of Greenland was set
tied by the Mortimer, who built thriv-
ing colonies on the west coast in the
early middle ages, has been decided by
. Danish Government expedition, sent
out in the spring of 1888 to explore the
little visited coast. The early Norwe-
gian records speak Of sixteen parishes
and nearly three hundred villages on
Greenland eight or nine hundred years
ago, when it had its W Bishop; but
this entire civilization had persisted
when Davis penetrated along the west
coast to the strait that bears his name in
1885. The fact that an eastern" and
= western" settlement were spoken OF
in the records led to the belief that both
coasts had been settled in the early days,
while modern explorations have made
progress only along the west coast.
Nordenskjold, who visited these regions
in 1883, believed that he had found
traces Of ancient habitations on the east
side similar TO those found along the
west coast. The Danish explorers have
proved him wrong. They spent two
winters on the east coast and penetrated
a hundred miles further north than the
point (65 degrees IS minutes) reached
by Crash in 1929, mapping out the land
and calling it king Christian the
Ninth's land" but they found no trace
of previous occupation, except . beer
bottle which the Esquimaux who in.
habit these high lattules had looked
askance at for several years, believing
it to be somehow connected with the
elves of the inland glaciers, which they
fear as evil spirits. The explorers were
unable to account for the presence OF
the bottle, that had the name Of q we'll
known Norwegian brewer blown in the
glass, until they learned OF Nor
denskiold's previous visit to the neigh
borhood. The coast was quite accessible
last summer north of the dreaded glacier
Puissortok, and presented an unex-
pected view of handsome mountains
and green valleys, with very little ice.
No doubt remains, from the report OF
the expedition, that by the eastern set
tlement' in the old record was meant
the one further south on the west coast,
for in the lower ATTITUDES this coast
trends sharply toward the east. I'm

THEN AND NOW.

THEN.
1SDew u little maiden once
In days of long ago;
Here eyes were bright, her hair was black,
Her voice was sweet and low:
Her smile was like the r ppling Of
Some soft and silyery sheent
Her form in loveliness surpassed
All ! had ever seen.
But deeper down l saw the charm
That winged my cupId's dart
Surrounded by tn S loveliness
Lay a still lovelier heart.
30, gathering all my forces. ].
With front both firm and bold,
Besieged the lovely fortress that
longed to have and hold.
Her eyes were bright-their brightness
Has been dimmed by many tears:
Her hair was ~black-its luster
Has been changed By many yearsi
And where there was a dimple.
A wrinkle now appears;
But yet u sanity halo
Around that face I see,
Which makes it far more lovely
Than IN the past to me
And the love which fills my being,
In the afternoon of life.
IL greater far than ever
For that little word-my wife.

A Leather Bag of Mamma.
Baltimore Sun

Travelling in the east last year, from
Arabia to Palestine, l met good Armen-
ian Catholic priest coming from Meso-
potamia. Among various articles of dict
he brought with him in his journey to
Constantinople there we're about five
pounds of mama incssed in leather
bag. At his meals he partook of that
food as we do of cakes. He positively
maintained that such food falls from
heaven as white powder two or three
times year, and is collected from the
leaves of trees and from the surface of
fat stones. The food, when protected by
leather, will keep for five or six year. |
eat of this food and it contains a great
deal of sugar. From the positive de
scription of the good priest it cannot be
natural oxidation from the branches
and leaves of the plant alhagi maurorum,
which was believed by the early Arabian
writer's to have fallen from heaven. The
good priest had excellent credentials.
We both were allowed to say mass at the
historical franciscan convent at Jaffa.

EXPRESS R0BBEBIES.
A Few Famous Cases Recalled by the Frisco
Case.
ST. Lous Globe Democrat.

ST. Lous Globe Democrat.
The report yesterday of the success
full robbing of the express car on the
Frisco train was fruitful of great deal
of talk absut former robberies and the
suspicion almost invariably cast upon
the unlucky messengers. Since the days
when the James boys flourished in all
their glory, train-rObberies have not been
numerous, but that at Coolidge, Kas., on
the Santa Fe road the one on the Rock
Island, in Northern Illinois, where
Nichols was killed, selling his life so
dearly that when the car was entered
after the crime it was found to be be-
spattered with blood, on the floor ceiling
and sides; the one on the Wabash in
Indiana, which bafiled the detectives,
and now the present one will live in the
criminal annals of the country side by
side with the most desperate in which
the james boys figured. Horace Rood,
of the American Express Company,
speaking on the subject yesterday, said
Express messengers, as a general thing,
are held in marked respect by even their
superiors, and with something of rever-
ence and awe by their interiors, Gle rks
in company offices, etc, and the ordinary
public.
In the first place, they are carefully
selected az to habits of life, etc, and are
then placed under heavy bond and sub
jected to the most precise rules and regu-
lations. Then they are men who are con
stantly and momentarily expecting an
assault, and as dig messengers say, sleep
so Lightly curled up on the
safe containg the valuables entrusted to
.neir care-that the slightest noise out
side that of the running of the train fully
awakens them; and, as remarked yester-
day, they "are men with great deal of
honor"-though yslor and pride better
express the meaning intended-as they
know they are employed as much to be
ready for fight, and desperate encoun-
ter at a moments notice, as for auy
thing else. Among themselves the deep
est disgrace is that they should have been
overcome or yielded their treasures with
out at least mark or wound that would
testify that his courage or fidelity had
not been at fault. This defence is al
ways possible, or should be, as one of
the strictest rules laid down to'be followed
by the messenger, and that is as to being
armed.
Several of the companies require their
messengers to wear their revolyers in
their belts about their waist and in the
case OF the American he is required to
strap his revolver about hi. waist at the
city Office before he goes to the CIR, and

\ Dogs neystion

John Templeton is blacksmith who
owns fine specimen of the Engli, h mas
tiff Last week Mr.. Templeton was work
ing at his forge, putting a new steel in
the point of a pick, The steel was
slightly burned in heating, and instead
of welding, flew in half dozen pieces.
One piece struck the blacksmith above
the right eye with such force as to fasten
itself in firm. The blacksmith staggered
and fell backward. How long he was I'M
conscious he does not know, but when he
revived the dog lay in the middle of the
shop crying almost like human being
and rubbing his jaws in the dust OF the
floor. The piece of steel that had struck
Mr. Templeton lay short distance from
the dog. The faithful animal had seized
the hot steel with his teeth and drew it
from the frontal bone of Mr.. Temple
tons head. The dogs mouth was found
to be badly burned.

cludes the salaries of Manager Watkins,
Secretary Leadly, and the assistance that
is required to care for the grounds, Dun

ardson, $4,000 each, Rowe and White
$500 each, and Bennett about $4,000.
Baldwin got $1,000 last year but will
probably not play for less than $4,000
next year. Hanlon got $2,250 and
Thompson drew $4,000 last year, but is
holding off for more next season. Man
ming received 81 800 for the last season
although he only played very few
games, al so well pleased with the
treatment he received that he will not
ask for an increase. Getzein gets $4,000,
Twitchell $1,000, Smith $1,750, Gillen
$1,000, CANCEL $3.50, Knowlton, prob
ably not less than $1,000, and Conway
$1,000. Manager Watkins last season
drew $4,000, and probably will get more
next year. Secretary Leadly is held at
$1,000, and the ticket sellers, ground at
tendants, etc, cost 81, 800 more. The
rent of the grounds is about Offset by the

The announcement sent out from Phil.
adelphia, recently, that both the ball
teams which had gone to Cuba had re-
returned, was a mistake. Only one of
them came back-the one consisting of
Tate, Nash, Daily, Flanagan, McGarr,
Fogary, knoupf and the two Twins.
Nash gives the following description of
their experience: "We were in Havana
just a week, and played but two games,
one on Tuesday last and the other on the
Sunday preceding. These were played
with the Athletic team, that is still in
Havana, and were attended by some $500
to 4, 900 people. The admission scale
ranged from 10 cents to 81, according to
choice of seats. The attendance would
have been much larger, but for the fact
that Mazentina, the great Spanish bull
fighter, struck the town about the same
time we did, and was pitted against US as
an attraction. The bull fights were too
much for us and caught the big crowds.
Did we make anything on the trips? Not
enough to make us reckless. We didn't
bring back any extensive cargoss of
costly cigars and are not burdened with
Cuban currency. The latter is cheap
trash, however, and not to be compared
to the cheerful greenback. 1t takes about
So of Cuban money to buy choice seat
at baseball match in Havana. The
Athletic nine, which remains in Havana
for some weeks to come, will do well, y
continued Nash, ''as it is to play against
the local clubs, and the games will be
literally patronized They are under the
management of James z. Scott and Lew
Simmons, who also controlled our team,
and have a chance to make some money.
There was not enough business for two
visiting teams, and we therefore with
