y strange picture was noticed in the
western skies last night. Just before :
o'clock, while the heavy clouds were
rolling 10y and Threatening ii storm. y
clearly defined rim. of almost milky
whiteness. with rays radiating from a
center low down on tho horizon. and
giving 1t the appearance of IA lady's fan
spread open, attracted a gIeat deal Of
attention. Ii was lunar rainbow, the
sailors delight, and was different in
appearance from any OF the rainhows
seen recently at night
The wealth, 7, too. was a little strange.
To the west Of Palatka were heavy
clouds, accompanied by lightning ard
thunder, while over ia the east the moon
was pouring down her silvery light on
the bosom of the river, rs placidly as on
"A June night, and just over head light
clouds moved about, from which gentle
showers occasionally fell. Ii was Pc
culiar night, to say the least of It.

TO STOCK AN OSTRICH FARM.
The Strange Tropical Cargo of "a Nor
wegian Schooner.

GALVESTON, TEX, April 2.-The Nor
wegian schooner Praecis Stavange ar
rived at the wharf here last evening, after
two months voyage from Africa She
brought a strange cargo to the new
world, consisting OF Ostriches, MONKEYS,
parrots, tropical birds, and last, but not
least, among her curiositIes are five ma
tiyes OF Madras, India, including one fe-
male. The entire outfit is destined for
California, and belongs to DR.. G. j..
SketchleY, of Los Angeles, the we'll
known ostrich farmer. DR.. Sketch
ley sailed from Port Natal, Africa, on
Jan. u. He had siXty-fve full-grOwn Os-
triches when he started, but only thirty
six survived the passage. While on the
African coast, between Natal and Cape
Town, the Stavange encountered three
days OF pretty rough weather, and the
giant birds all became very sick from the
motion OF the vessel, and twO-thirds of the
loss occurred during the first ten days OF
the voyage. The doctor says after the
Ostriches got their sea legs no more
deaths occurred. The Ostriches are the
finest lot ever taken from Africa, as each
bird has a pedigree, which enhances it's
value among ostrich breeders, just as til e
pedigrees of race horses or cows enhance
their value. Sketchley says they are the
best breed of ostriches known TO the ma
tives.
The birds range from eight to ten feet
high, and are about 10 years old. haVin z
lust attained their fall growth. They are
not wild. While unloading them from
the vessel today. one unusually big
ostrich became frightened as he was
draw up the hatchway, and when a
couple of sailors approached to move him
from the box he gave each one Of them
a gentle kick on the breast that hurled
them against the side Of the vessel as
though every bone in their bodies would
break. The Malay ia immediate charge
OF the birds said that if the ostrich had
struck the men with the full swing OF its
leg it would have killed them sure. The
native spoke to the bird and visibly Gained
It's excitement very much as we control
a horse. The ostrlches will be given a
rest here in the park for several DAYS, then
loaded on cars specially prepared and
taken to Sketchley's ostrich farm, four
miles from Los Angeles.
The Hindus were greatly excited when
they came in sight Of Galveston, the city
being visible 30 miles of. The captain
to the other. carried away with the sight
OF land again. The woman has a mans
brass scarfnin neatly hooked through the
right lobe of her nose. A red glass gem
ornaments the pin and her nose. Her hair
is coal black and hangs below her waist
when down. Her features are clear cut
and Irregular. The men wear white tur-
bans, and were the centre OF attraction
today for several thousand people, who
gathered to watch the unloading OF the
0sJriches. The Madrasees will accompany
Sketchley to California and reside perma-
nently with him.

VIE EMILE SAVAGE.
Trs. StevensOn's Interesting PrOtege
and her observations in Washing

Mrs. StevensOn's Interesting Protege
and Her observations in Washing
ton.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Wewha, the
Iuni malden an Indian priestess }, re-
ceiyes visitors regularly on Fridays with
Mrs. Stevenson, whom she accompanied
to Washington, and whose guest she is.
She is % years old and much larger in
form than most Of the women Of her race.
She is an industrious young woman,
who never wishes 20 be idle, and when
thus receiving Dusies herself in weaving
with the crude implements used by the
women of her tribe a broad belt as wide
and as strong as a saddle-girth OF red and
white WOrsted. She makes it rapidly and
evenly and makes The pattern with per-
feet regularity as she goes along, though
she has no model before her, and never
makes mistake in counting her threads,
however loud the talking of other women
may be around her. She understands
enough English to know what they are
saying. Sac has lately learned TO knit,
but says she will not do that after she
goes home, as knitting is mans work in
Zunl and the women there never knit. .&
WeWha has made some sharp comments
in private 10 her friend Mrs. Stevenson as
to the amount of talking the w Washington
her that they did nothing but talk. But
she has been much pleased and amused
by what she nas seen when al fashionable
gatherings, has noticed the ladies' dresses
and alter once being with Mrs. Stevenson
when the latter was receiving spoke OF
the difference between her own dress and
that of her friend and wished to make
herself look finer for the next reception.
She wanted to buy enough red satin to
IN a a n
to replace that of white cotton
goods, which she wears regularly,
with a worsted waist and short skirt, but
on going to a store to buy the satin came
to the conclusion that it would require
''t0O much money" her own words, to
bury it, SO RETAINED, though she had
slipped away from Mrs, Stevenson and
had gone shopping alone. One day, hear
ing conversation which no one thought
she understood, in English, about para
soils selling very cheap then at certain
store, she quietly slipped away, went
alone to the store, distance of about a
mile from where she is visiting, and as
tOnished Mrs. Stevenson by returning an
hour or two later holding a big red satin
parasol over her head. How she
made the girls at the store I'M
derstand what she wanted, and how
they made her comprehend what
was to be paid for 1t is a mystery. But
she did pay for it. She was quite shocked
at meeting a lady at dinner in a lOw-neck
dress, and afterwards said that the Amer
leans spoke of the Zuni women wearing
their dresses short and showing their legs
nearly to the knees and having their arms
bare, but she thought that was better than
showing so much Of the neck. She said
she liked to see a little Of the front of the
neck near the throat, but not so much as
the lady she mad met had exposed. She
was also shocked at seeing the short, thin
dresses of ballet dancers at the theatre.

A FEMALE spECuLAToR.
How She was Fooled Out of $40, 300 by
the "Ward Trlcks."

From the NashciU- Aperican.
NEW YORK, March 3O.-A case was de-
cided to-day in the Supreme Court which
shows up again the tricks Of a class Of
bogus ''stock brokers'" and shows how
easy it is to secure dupes, particularly
women, when extravagant profits are
promised on small Investments. Mrs.
Adelaide X. Kenny, of Batavia, n. Y,
daughter of Dean Richmond. brought suit
against man named Chandler and one
named Weeks for the recovery OF $l0,-
800 which she had invested in the
pooling schemes" of a firm "bank-
ing" IN Wall street under the name
OF Thatcher Belmont & Co.." she claim
ing that the defendants were parties
to the fraudulent schemes, which were
much ike those OF Ferdinand w ard. The
firm induced Mrs. Kenny to invest up
wards OF $4,000 before she became aware
OF her danger. 1t was well that her IN
Vestment ceased at that time, for she was
about TO put nearly $4,000 into the
schemes when she learned the true nature
OF the business. The firm in 1879 sent out
circulars, chiefly to country people, on
which they represented that they did bust
ness on one per cent margin; that they
were forming pooling syndicate which
would result in large profits to those in
Vestlng Mrs. Kenny received one Of
these circulars, and soon after sent to the
trim $500. Within two weeks she sent
them various amounts, aggregating $10,-
300, the last sum being $500. Both de-
iendants we're arrested in 1888 and we're
released on bail, The trial of the suit has
been going on for several days before
Judge Perkham and Il jury. Chandler
did not appear. The defense of Weed was
that he was only clerk OF the firm, and
was not aware OF the fraudulent nature
of the business Ofhis employers. Anthony
ColmstOck was the chief witness upon the
trial. 1t was shown that the firm sent
ont circulars describing the glOries of
Wall street, and the fortunes there to be
made, and representing that one man
upon an investment of S25 had increased
it TO 1925 in one week
These circulars induced unsuspecting
people TO invest their savings. Soon after
ward they would be informed that there
was so much to their credit upon the
books of the firm, but that a further
amount was necessary to form grand
pool which would net large profits. Fur
Their sums would be sent to the firm, until
the startling information came from the
brokers that everything was complete
loss, owing 10 d turn in the stock market.
The case was given to the jury yester-
day, and they were locked up all night.
This morning they found a verdict in
favor of Weed, but against Chandler for
SlO,897. The latter may not be easy to
find. though.

FOR THE GoODOFTHE SERVICE
The Only Reason Now Given to Clerks
Who Are Dismissed
From the Boston Herald,

From the Boston Hera1d.
WASHINGTON, April O. Higgins is no
longer the bette noir of the Treasury
clerks. The name that now inspires ter
ror in the great building is Smith. He is
the Assistant Secretary, to whom has
been delegated the business of making ap-
pOintments and directing dismissals.
The clerks care very little about who get
the places, but they have an abiding
interest in dismissals. There are
still many places worth keeping in the
department that are not covered by the
civil service law. Among these are some
40 employees OF the supervising architect
Of the treasury, whose salaries range from
SO 10 $40 per day. -Four Of these persons
were dismissed to-day-twO men and two
women. One OF them, Mr. Pease. went to
Acting Secretary Fairchild to inquire
why he had been discharged. MIR. Fair
child said:
Il do not know anything about it;
don't want to bear anything about it. Go
to Assistant Secretary Smith. What he
does hencetOrth is final, and will not be
discussed.
The dismissed clerk then interviewed
Smith. His interview was very brief. Mr..
Smith said: "NO reason for your dis
charge VIII be given. 1t is enough for
you to know that, in my opinion, your
services can be dispensed with. Too
much time has been wasted heretofore in
giving reasons for executive acts. Here
after no reason will be given for an ap-
pOintment or for dismissal except that
the interest of the service demands it,"
A few moments after the abrupt termi-
nation OF this interview, one of the dis
missed ladies sailed IN TO inquire for reas-
Ons. The Assistant Secretary repeated
his refusal TO her IN terms quite as curt
as those quoted to the gentleman who had
preceded her. She, however, did not 90
quite as meekly.
Very well, sir; l will see il l cannot
appeal to higher authority. | an going
straight to Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land. My cousin recently visited her for
two weeks at the White House, and Will
see If she cannot find out why am dis
missed"
After her exit Mr.. Smith heaved a sigh.
the woman at any rate. Since MIR. Smith
has begun to WELD the AK he has become
convinced that however the Republicans
cited by MIR. ingalls, may have trodden on
one anOther's heels in their hurry 10 get
out of Office in Kansas, those in Wash
ington are remarkably hard to get rid of.
He saws there is scarcely one OF the chiefs
of divisions discharged since the advent
of the Democratic administration IN order
to give place 10 Democrats that did not
get back into the Treasury at a reduced
salary, and that are noUnOw safely hidden
under the protection OF the civil service
law.

ANOTHER COLLIER MISSING.
The Barkentine KlotO May Have Beer
the OregOn's Destroyer.

From 'he Ne1D York Times.
The barkentine Kloto, loaded with coal,
sailed from Baltimore for this port on Feb.
-. Nothing has since been heard of her
Messrs. Loud, Claridge 4 Co., her Balti-
more agents, are wondering il her disap-
pearance may not lead TO a solution ofthe
Oregon mystery. II is supposed that the
kloto had taken long tack which carried
her beyond New York bay, thus explain
ing her presence of Fire Island. She was
owned by Weltch, II umphrey X Co, of BOs-
ton. Messrs. Miller a HOughtOn. the CORE
spondeuts in this city OF the Baltimore
agents, know nothing about the kloto
except that she was lost. They think, SO
do most OF the South street merchants.
That the Charles II. Morse was the vessel
that cOllided with the Oregon. Morse A
co. have done nothing yet toward identi-
flying the wreck reported of Shnnecock
and supposed TO be the Charles II. Morse.
Possibly on Mr. MOrse's return 10 this
city at the end Of this week investigation
may be pushed in that direction. Reuben
Mansfield, Elisha b. Abbott, and Henry
b. Ousted, all Of Bucksport, Me, were
three Of the crew Of the Morse. They
were formerly on the bark Joseph Baker,
which was smashed by the ice and sunk
IN Chesapeake bay few DAYS before the
Morse left Baltimore. They got ashore
just In time TO shin again.

others of the OregoE's passengers have

regard the Investigation by the British
Consul and the Cunard Company as ex
parte, and are not content 10 let their
case rest upon the testimony of men
whose versions might possibly be colored
10y self-interest Testimony has been coll
lected from passengers tending % show

lisn negligence. Whel the case becomes
siron enough for decisive blow the at
