The Best.

Among all the additions now on
the market there is none that will
surpass for beauty of location and
general desrablity that Of Whiting's
river, adjoining the grounds of the
Agricultural Association. MIR. Whit
ing has not heretofore pushed this
property To the front, as he had no
desire to sell, feeling Satisfied from the
frequent sales made to those desiring
to build suburban homes that no
difficulty would be experienced this
summer in closing out the whole ad-
ditiOn. The result shows his wisdom.
The property has greatly increased in
value since last year, and the first
announcement through the medium
of the press that the property Was on
the market brought him many buyers.
Those who are looking for beautiful
sites for building purposes need go no
further than Winnings addition. The
level ground at the foot of the hill, the
sloping hillside and the brow of the
bluff all present the finest kind of
locations for homes. The view is un-
surpassed anywhere in the vicinity.
while the soil is excellent and the
drainage the very best. The con-
struction of u moter line to the north
side and the. extension Of q street
line in the same direction brings the
property within few minutes ride
of the business center, SO that the
distance cannot be quoted as an
objection, To those who are looking
for favorable location for home on
land that is in reach of the poorest,
we commend visit TO Whiting's ad-
dition, feeling itisfied that both the
situation and prices will satisfy the
buyer. As a speculation, lots in this
addition are most excellent invest
ment as prices are constantly increas-
ing, and the present figures will
double before fall, See or address b.
M. Whiting before making pur-
chase of outside property.

About five years ago Mr. Felltin, one OF
the Uganda missionaries, complained to
Mtesa that his majesty had not kept the
missionary larder well stocked, as he had
agreed, and the missionaries were actually
suffering for food. A happy thought
struck the king He gave an order to an
attendant, and in few minutes eighteen
buXom young women came marching in
with big baskets of bananas on their
heads. ''Take these women for your
wives" said Mtesa. "They will dig in
your garden, raise your food and cook it,
Take them and don't bother me any more
Send me the other men and l will give
them wives, too. Now take your women
and go" Mtesa was greatly enraged
wheH the poor missionary ventured TO
protest against being married in this
wholesale fashion. He told Mr.. Felkin
that he and his fellows might shift for
themselves. They had hard time of it
until the king long after became better
natured. Congo Letter to Pittsburg Com

Post Office Affairs.

Things were very quiet at the post
Office Yesterday, except occasionally
when some discontented individual
vented his disgust in TRADE against
the reform administration, or deplored
the extremities to which the country
j. coming. AS had been agreed upon,
the clerks did not report for duty in
the morning, and Mr.. Peel found him
self confronted by tho entire work OF
the office. Instead OF giving up, how
ever, as many advised, he went quietly
about the task OF doing what little he
could toward keeping the office in rum
ming order. He had telegraphed the
state OF affairs to the government OF
fcials, but the only reply which he
received was from the assistant OF In
spector Mason, who wired the not very
cheering Information that MasonSwas
away, but was expected 20 return to-
day, and would at once take action.
Mea nwhile Mr.. Peel was urged to keep
open the Office ard do the best he
could under the. circumstances. This
was precisely what he was doing, but
it necessarily amounted to but very
little. The delivery window. was
closed, but those who were for
tunate enough to have lock boxes
received the western mail which had
been distributed before the strike went
into effect.
Meanwhile the business men had
been canvassing the situation and Il
few public spirited members Of the
board OF trade finally came to the
conclusion that the citizens must
have their mail at any cost, and there
fore hired the clerks to return to work
for four days,by the expiration Of which h
time It is hoped that the government
will have taken measures to remedy
the trouble. This project was carried
into effect, and at about three o'clock
the clerks took hold OF the eastern
I'M all, which had arrived at noon, and
soon it was being distributed with q
raF,dity which delighted the imna lent
walters who had been eyeing luelr
empty boxes with longing eyes.
Such is the present status Of affairs
and things will probably move smooth
ly for the next three days, but then
the trouble will begin again unless the
department takes advantage of the
brief respite to radically reform its
present policy. Inspector Mason will
probably arrive within d day or two tc
look into matters in person, and as he
is n fair minded official, will doubtless
do all in his power to put the off !
upon a better footing.
Acting Mayor Hoover has wired tc
Delegate Voorhees, statement of the
pressing circumstances of the situa-
ton, which gives that gentleman an
excellent opportunity to do valuable
service for his constituency.

Base Ball Rules.

New YoRK, March 3.--This evening the
meeting oil the National Base Bail League
was concluded. The board of arbitration
finished its work at 3 80. The Kansas City
club question is left undecided. Revision
of rules Is announced as follows: In the
rules on base running new section Is
added which reads: In the fourth column
shall be the score of bases stolen and shall
be governed as follows: ANY attempt to
steal q base must go to the credit OF the
base runner. whether the bali is wild
thrown or mufiled by fielder, but any mani-
fest error will be charged to the fielder
making the same. IT base runner ad.
vances another base he shall not be credited
with stolen base and the fielder allowing
such advancement is also TO be charged
with an error. 1.-THE base runner makes u
start and battery error is made the runner
receives the credit Of "a stolen base aSd the
battery error is scored against the player
making 1t. Should base runner over run
q base and then be put out, he should
receive credit for a stolen base. Un-
der the heal of base hits, as an
amendment to section 3, rule 65.
the following was adopted: That when
player reaches first base through error of
Judgment, such as two ieiders allowing
the ball to drop between them, the batter
shall not be credited with base hit or the
fielder charged with an error, but it shall
be scored as an unaccepted chance and the
batter shall be charged with a time ut the
bat. Another amendment to rule 90 reads
MS follows. That In oil cases when base
runner is retired, on being hit by batted
ball, the bntsman shall be credited with q
base hit. New section z, to rule 65 says:
An earned run shall be scored every time
the player reached the home base unaided
by errors before chances have been offered
O retire the side of three men, but bases
ON baiIs through summarized us errors

Canadian Club Banquet.

New YoRk, March 2.-The Canadian
club OF this city gave dinner tonight to
mark the completion OF the labors of the
British fisheries CON mission. Erastus
Wyman, president Of the Canadian club
presided, and on his right sat Mayor Hew-
lit. At the chairnan's left were the mem
bers of the fisheries commission, Right
Honorable Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Lionel
Sackville West, and other associates. Two
hundred other guests were present. Let
ters of regret from Secretary Bayard and
Sir Charles Tupper were read. Secretary
Bayard in his letter says: II hope the
treaty now pending for ratification may be
thoroughly comprehended OH both sides of
the border and tried upon its merits. The
treaty has been framed in n spirit of Just
and mutual cancellation and advantage,
and earnestly hope the blindness of par
tisanship or influence Of local seltishness
or ignorance may not be suffered to de-
prive the two countries of its great benefits.
It's defeat would be great public calamity
which ! hope patriotism may arrest.

The Wardner Amateur Club.

1t is gen orally difficult taste to criticise
the dramatic performances Of an amateur
organization, necessitating, as it often does,
great blindness to the many slips aud weak
nesses of the company, but we can truly
say that the performance on Saturday night
OF the old and we'll known five-act melo-
drama, the Ticket of Leave Man." by
the Wardner Amateur Dramatic club,
was q IN ost agreeable surprise to the large
audience gathered in the opera house
There have been few professional troupes
through here which could, as whole,
have 81 n the play fln better shape, than
did ou visitors from our neighboring
city of Wardner.
As the play is long one. and it was n
little late before the curtains rose, the au-
dience was not dismissed until mid
night. SO that space will not
allow us to give more than a brief mention
of some, where all did well. Mr.. Cullen
played Bob Brierly with strong dramatic
power and feeling, and Mrs. X. s.. Burke,
as May Edwards, looked and acted remark
ably well, displaying much histrionic abil-
| ty i'm her scenes with Bob. Mrs. w. NJ.
Guse made a piquaint and charming Sam
Willonghby, while Mrs. III. Ewing, as old
Mrs. willonghby, was one Of the hits of
the evening; Mrs. w. e. MoKelvey,
tractive, and her severe cold did
not prevent here dancing most gracefully
with Mr.. L. Davenport, who was a comical
Green Jones. Mr.. Fl. Ewing as Meter
Moss gave good piece OF eccentric comedy,
and Messrs. McKilvey, McMorran and lie
Grand must be mentioned with approval as
Dalton, Hawkshaw and Gibson.

Page Jessup, claimant Of the estate. Gers

that Jessup had al ways recognized him as

The Saving of tho Louvre.

withdrew to tho Louvre, where I es-
Ablished my headquarters. The Com
muue had been charged with having tried
to burn the Louvre. l sf1lrm that this is
n fRlsehood. Here Is the truth: My men,
ovcrcxcited by the disproportionate fight
they had gone through during three days
in the .Tuilerles, wanted to burn also tho
ut night till in the morning there
was an indescribable struggle between
them-they anxious to destroy and myself
bound to prevent 1t. Furious beyond all
measure, these men, who had SO herolcally
shared my perils and who would have
died for their chief, now called me q
traitor and threatened me with their
guns. Finally jumped upon an artll-
lery locker, abandoned in the cour of the
Louvre, and, though worn out by fatigue,
but recomforted by n sentiment of which
am proud, succeeded in having the Ma
tional guards listen to me. ! told them
that the Louvre had been, indeed, during
long centuries, the sojourn Of kings, that
its walls were perlneated with monarchi-
cal crimes, and thai each of its stones rep
resented the gold and blood of the people.
But added that.the Louvre, transformed
into an artistic sanctuary, had morally
purified itself and that 1t was sacred for
ever, The Louvre had come to be the
palace of artists those great and foremost
workmen In the world. Instead of de-
stroying it, the dnty Of the workmen was
to defend it, The National guards UNDER
gtood and applauded these words, and
passing from their former rage to enthu-
siasm they almost carried me in triumph.
They spontaneously placed themselves as
