A DueIist in Armor.

lfLoh tlc mIIlIlcdpOuS tribune.
Gen. Mawry, who has just been ap-
pointed United States minister to
Bogota, is little bit of fellow who
does not look as though he would
make much Roadway in fight similar
to that which caused the removal OF
Minister Jacobs a few days ago, and
yet Mawry has the reputation OF be-
ing one OF the grittiest and bravest
men that the South ever produced.
heard a good story of him the other
day which will serve to illustrate this
point. 1t seems that great many
years ago when he was q young man
Mawry was in Alabama and among
his friends numbered a very wealthy
family named Hunt. A dapper little
frenchman, who represented himself
as nobleman, was very attentive to
one OF the young ladies OF the family
and treated her very shamefully. He
was an unprincipled scoundrel, and
his action was due to his belief that
he could not be called to account for
any OF his transgressions from the
path OF rectitude
When MaWry heard OF his treatment
OF the girl he at once set out as her
champion, and challenged the French
man to duel. The challenge was &C.
copied, although it was not known to
the friends who represented him or
the Frencbman himself that Mawry
was a dead shot. Revolvers were
chosen. The belligerents fired three
times without perceptible effect on
either side. The seconds asked Gen.
Mawry if he was not satisfied. He
replied: "No, | am not, and l will
fetch him this time" Again they faced
each other, and once more the pistols
were raised, and the bullets whistled
through the air. The Frenchman fell,
the bullet having entered his mouth
and passed through the back of his
head.
He was examined by the surgeon,
when it was found that under his vest
he wore a metal plate, upon which
was plainly the indentation of the
three shots which Mawry had pre-
viously fired, all Of which were within
half an inch of his heart.

Pen Portrait of Henry CLAW.

The first volume of Maj. Ben: Per-
ley Poore's "Social "reminiscences" OF
Washington contains this graphic lit
tie description of Henry Clay: "Mr.
Clay made q good secretary OF state,
but his place was in Congress, for ne
was formed by nature for a popular
orator. He was tall and thin, with a
rather small head and grey eyes which
peered forth less luminously than
would have been expected in one
possessing such eminent control
Of language. His nose was straight,
his upper lip long and his
under Jaw light. His mouth,
of generous width, straight when he
was silent, and curving upward at the
corners as he spoke or smiled, was
singularly graceful, indicating more
than any other feature the elastic play
OF his mind. When he unclaimed large
audiences, his features were lighted up
by a winning smile, the gestures OF his
long arms were graceful, and the gentle
accents OF his mellow voice were per-
suasive aud winning. Yet there has
never been q more imperiOus despot
in political affairs than Mr.. Clay. He
regarded himself as the head center OF
his party-L'etat, c'est mOi-and he
wanted everything utilized for his adj
VanCement."

Ice that Biisters.
from the Philadelphia Star. !

from the Philadelphia Start
The other day, while the thermome-
ter was SO IN the shade, a snowstorm
was IN progress at Underwood Springs,
Me-, which lasted five minutes. The
snow did not actually come down
from the sky, but was manufactured,
and 1t was a perfect storm while the
snow lasted. 1t was the result OF some
astonishing experiments performed by
scientific men from t-arlnany to test
some machinery whio., is to be used
In the hottling of water gas at the
springs. Prof. O. Brimier conducted
the experiments, and said to the scien-
tltic gentlemen assembled:
Il propose to show you something
never tiled outside of laboratory
and then only as an experiment. |
will take this water-gas and make it
solid and OF Arctic properties, beside
which the ice will seem like fire. This
is g. discovery which will enable physi-
clans to do wonderful things in the
way of relieving pain
Mr.. Brimier then attached to the
machinery used in the work of charging
the water thoroughly-made canvas
bag, and gave the order TO start the
machinery. The bottling room was
intensely hot, but Mr.. Brimier was OBJ
served to button up his coat TO the
throat before starting up, and in
short time the temperature was OBJ
served to be getting Arctic. To the
complete surprise OF those present
snow began to fall in tiny flakes at
first, but soon thick and fast, filling
the room and escaping through the
door in thick cloud.
The Professor raised his hand, the
machinery stopped, and the snow dis
appeared. Then Mr.. Brimier took
from the machinery to which it had
been attached the canvas bag, now
full and of considerable weight. A
touch of the outside of the bag chilled
the blood. The intense cold, the ter
rlble chill it gave, was simply not to
be described. Cutting open the bag,
Mr.. Brimier displayed a mass of beau
tiful white, apparently crystal ice, but
by it's side the common ice melted as
when exposed to fire.
Mr.. Brimier exclaimed, as q gentle
man reached out his hand to the mass,
Don't touch it; it will burn YOU"
"That ice burn me? Absurdr' was
the reply. But the Professor insisted
that it be let alone except to give the
slightest touch. One unlucky indi-
vidual was given too prolonged
touch on the back of the hand, and
found that his hand was devoid of all
feeling. The Professor looked at it
and said:
'"That fixes it for four hours, after
that it will ache for forty eight hours,
will blister and make trouble; it
touched it too hard" all of which fol-
lowed.
For four hours the hand was abso-
lutely without feeling; a needle insert
ed produced no pain, and yet the
hand was not poNerless. No blood
followed the puncture. 1t is claimed
that this gas will completely take the
place of ether. No i'll effect except the
possibility of blistering follows its ad-
ministration. The substance is q
local anesthetic, but it is claimed
that its action is complete, and on the
instant the member touched is COM
pletely numbod.

Traded the Whisky.

In Almonte, Canada, druggists are
allowed to sell but one gallon of whis-
ky at a time. Knowing this fact, q
thirsty man went to drugstore with
a two-gallon jug and asked to have it
filled. The druggist said that he
couldn't sell but a gallon. The man
said that he must have two gallons,
and if the druggist would put one gal
Ion in the jug, he'd try and get the 9TH
er at some other store. This vas
done. Soon the man returned and
said the other druggist wouldn't sell
the other gallon. The man seemed
sad. One gallon was no use to him;
would the druggist kindly take it back
and let him have his money? Thedrug-
gist would, and did. But he didn't take
back the whisky after all. For the
man had not been to another store,
but to g. convenient place. where he
took out big half OF the gallon OF
whisky and replaced it with water.
He then returned the whisky and wa
ter to the ohligiug druggist.

Labor Notes.

Fifteen hundred members attended
the meeting at Scranton, Pa, on the
9Th, OF the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers. Resolutions were
adopted strongly approving OF Grand
Chief Arthur's course during the labor
troubles in the Southwest. At the
public meeting, Mayor Ripple, Con-
gresham Glover and Mr.. Arthur made
addresses.
The expected lockout at Lees shoe
shops at Athol, Mass, took place on
the Both, when the employees on going
10 the shops found the doors closed.
Every man and woman before being
allowed to enter the factory was
obliged to sign an agreement that they
would not belong 20 any organization
or engage in any strike while in the en-
ploy of Lee. OF the 400 or 500 hands
only about 25 signed the agreement,
and went to work during theforenoon.
The Knights OF Labor have requested
the selectmen to close all the saloons
for such length OF time as may be
deemed advisable.

Hundreds of Natives In the Hebrides
Slaughtered by German Expedition.
The steamer Maraoa arrived at San
Francisco on the 4th from Sidney,
Australia. She brought news % the
arrival there OF the German wal ship
Albatross from among the Hebrides
Islands, where she had been for the
purpose or Furnishing the natives, for
the murder OF German subjects at the
Island OF Leneur. A crowd OF armed
natives, who had gathered on the
beach, were fired into and 8 hundred
or more killed. The village OF Tom
bolouga, on the Island OF Pentecost,
was then bombarded and many more
natives were killed. When g landing
was effected at the latter place por-
tions OF human bodies were found, but
most OF the bodies had apparently
been carried away. On both islands
all the native villages that were found
were burned. OnLeneur man named
kilian, and on Pentecost a sailor on
the German schooner Upoln, had been
murdered by natives. Before the Al
batross returned to Sidney she is re-
ported to have proceeded to the Caro-
line Islands and hauled down the Ger
man flags there.

Sending Photographic Picture

A method OF sending a picture by
telegraph has been invented by a
Scotchman, w. Gemmill, by which a
photograph taken at one end OF a
wire is transmitted and reproduced at
the other. The picture is primarily
projected on a selenium cell placed in
the telegraphic circuit, which, accord
ing TO the degree of intensity OF the
light received, acts upon the current,
and through it number subsidiary
currents connected with an incandes-
cent lamp, Illuminating it with varied
degrees OF intensity consonant with
the strength OF the current. ''These
successive Nominations" according
to the Photographic Times, ''would
give images OF corresponding bright
ness to the points IN the picture
thrown upon the selenium cell, and
the final picture, OF course, would con-
sist OF a series OF these points in va
riOus DEPTHS OF shade"

She Was Too Much for the Conductor

III rom the PnIa0elpliA start
The Lombard and South Street line
has had the renown OF carrying more
market people and children than any
other in this city. There has been
perceptible falling OFF in the latter
within the last two weeks, due to the
order that conductors must collect
full fare, five cents, for all passengers
except babies in arms.
& lady and her two children boarded
one OF the little green cars for the park
yesterday. The little ones apparently
2 and 4 years, mounted the seats, and
each, on its knees, was soon peering
from an open window. The conduc-
tor came in and the mother handed
him ive-cent piece.
Fifteen cents" said the conductor.
''What for?" asked she.
give cents for each of the children.
Just read that card up there"
The lady looked up and read the
printed notice to the conductor to
collect full fare from all except children
in arms.
In an instant the woman picked up
the little ones and placed one on each
arm with an air of defiance to the
conductor, who rang his gong for one
and retreated to the platform to the
intense delight OF the other passen-
gers.

The Reports of Destituifon and Death
from Starvation Oontradicted.
Miss Ward and Miss Hayden, Amer
lean ladies, who have arrived at st.
Johns, N F., from a tour OF Labra-
dor, furnish a complete refutation OF
the reports OF intense cold weather,
hunger and death from starvation,
circulated so extensively in the press.
They say that the weather during
their prolonged stay was unusually
fine. The ice disappeared early in
June. Everywhere the people were
busy IN their fishing operations, and
they heard of no cases OF death by
famine, or even Of restitution. The
missionary ships Cleaner and Har-
mony had arrived at various Moray
ian mission stations, bringing ample
stocks OF provisions for the next
twelve months. The ladies consider
the fishery on the Labrador coast as
being on the whole fair, but along the
whole coast OF Northern and Eastern
New Foundland the accounts are very
unfavorable.

A Fire Department Veteran.

leTOLn Tue savannah News
"Bob Lee'' is the illustrious name
borne by the big sorrel horse which is
generally seen in the shafts OF The top
less buggy in which Chief Adolph
Fernandez, of the fire department,
rides. "Bob'' is a veteran in the SER
vice and has been to more fires than
any other horse that belongs to the
department. He used to be with the
Waiver Company, and has helped pull
the Waiver engine TO many fire.
He likes to go, too, and that in a
hurry. He seems to enjoy it more
than a boy does stealing off and going
in swimming. 1t has been a bakers
dozen OF years nearly since "Bob" was
risky, frolicsome colt. He entered
the service at the age OF 5, and he is
there yet. Strong-limbed and swift,
he takes the light vehicle whizzing
through the streets and over cross
ings. When he used to run with the
engine he contracted the habit OF going
in a hard run at the sound of the bell,
and to this day can hardly go q block
in a quick trot without breaking into
run.
1t is said that he will go straight to
fire either at day or night. Some of
the fremen declare that "Bob" knows
the boxes, and can tell where the fire
is by the number. 1t has been often
noticed that when an alarm begins to
strike he pricks up his ears and ap-
parently is listening and counting the
taps. He invariably starts off with
head erect and in the right direction.
1t is quite probable that he deter
mines the location of a fire by smell
ing the smoke rather than by count
ing the strokes. 1t would seem
though that he has learned to count,
because he quickly detects a false
alarm made by the crossing OF wires
When he gets up within sight of fire
he seems satisfied, and will stand I'M
hitched watching the flames until the
last is extinguished.
