The Future of the Dark Continent.
Atlanta Constitution.

0N'-~NNNNNNN--
Africa is destined to swallow up a
good deal of the worlds energy. Some
years ago Gordon went there to find
the Mahdi then Emin Bey followed
in the hope of finding Gordon Stan
ley, after waiting year or so, started
out to hunt up Emin Bey, and now
Lieutenant Wiseman has begun a
search for Stanley. Before very long
it will become necessary for some dar-
ing fellow to look for Wiseman, and he
will, of course, be followed by another
explorer, who in tuIn will be sought
for by another, and so on indefinitely.
If this sort of thing is to go on there
will be an endless procession of fellows
getting lost in the jungles of Africa, in
their vain endeavor to reach the other
fellows who have gone before. The
Dark Continent is an almost boundless
land of mystery, and the fate of these
explorers may never be
known. They may fall victims to the
African fever, or be devOured by wild
animals, OF perish in a struggle with
their savage foes. On the other hand,
they may win favor with powerful
tribes, and in that strange land build
up great states and empires. One
thing is certain, these numerous expe-
ditions into the heart of Africa are
blazing the way for civilization. What
ever may befall these early explorers,
nothing can prevent the final subjuga-
ton of Africa by the whites. The con-
tinent will be divided out among the
European powers, and at no distant
day it will become one of the most i'm
portant regions on the globe. Let the
procession of explorers 60 on. Many
of them may be lost, but others will
follow, and in the end the indomitable
energy of the white man will conquer
and hold this mysterious land and all
its treasures

Bled by His CrOnies.

George Law, the New York swell
with an income of 100000 a year, has
just been spending money at Saratoga,
n. Y, among sporting men who fawn
about him. His arrival at the Grand
Union hotel was promptly telegraphed
to his New York hangers and they
were on hand promptly to give him
reception. Mr.. Law fed them royalty
and they drank the most expensive
liquor. Saturday night Law sent for
the proprietor of the jewelry store in
the Grand Union hotel and the jeweler
thereupon brought a section of his
store into the bar-roOm, and Mr.. Law
told the committee to make their Sc
lections. Dan Murphy choose beau
tiful solitaire diamond ring valued at
$500 Jerry Dunn took ring set with
rubies and diamonds valued at $3.50 !;
Joe Coburn's was $3.50 solitaire dia-
mOnd ring; Johnnie Sanders chose
ring set with rubies, sapphires and
diamonds, valued at $3.50; John Hal
leck's choice was a ring set with tnr-
quoise and diamonds valued at $3.50 !;
William Tracey selected $500 dia-
mOnd ring, but Capt. McCue was the
lucky one. He got two diamond rings
and $500 in cash. To Col. Patrick
Duffy and Pat Sheedy, Mr.. Law offer
ed $4,000 pair of diamond ear rings,
which he took from his pocket, but
they declined them. Mr.. Law then
footed up the bill and paid it. The
committeeman have been feasting like
lords. They have found frequent oc-
casion to display their glittering fin
gers. Jerry Dunn was especially
pleased over the fact that, besides Sc
curing diamond ring, Mr.. Law gave
him his diamond collar button, worth
$1,000. Capt. McCue was the first to
discover Monday that Mr.. Law had
been spirited away from the Grand
Union hotel. The captain inquired of
one of the hotel clerks for his ''friend
George Law" The clerk thought that
Mr.. Law was not anxious to see the
captain. The captain became noisy,
and an hour later, in the police court
was fined $3.50 for disturbing the
peace. During the day, Mr.. Laws
valet arrived from New York and took
him to place of seclusion. The MEM
bers of the committee are now mourn
ing their loss.

Krupp's Famous Gun Works.

The steel-casting works of Krupp
land, in which ii ,2I1 men are employed
in the production of steel, and also in
the manufacture of countless different
articles, such as axles, wheels, etc., for
locomotives and railroad carriages !;
rails, switches and sleepers for rail-
ways, tramways, and mining railways /;
springs-spiral and leaf-for lOcOmo-
tives and carriages parts of all kinds
of machinery used for any purpose !;
bridge material and rolls; material for
large pumps as used in mines all re-
quisite steel and iron material for the
building of ships of all sizes, for war
and commercial purposes cannons of
every calibre-the production of them
having already exceeded 2O,O00-and
last, gun-carriages, artillery wagons
and shots.
The gross production of iron and
steel averages 26O,OO0 tons per annum.
For accommodation of traffic and
shipping in the establishment are used
twenty eight locomotives with 883
freight carriages. About forty five
miles of narrow and broad guage rail-
road line is laid through the establish
ment. One chemical laboratory, one
Photographic and photographic studio,
one printing Office and a book binding
establishment, are at work for the sole
use of the firm. Telegraph and tele-
phone communication goes all over the
factory and an engine company with
sixty eight fremen and thirty eight
fire alarms is also there for the benefit
of the establishment.
This is the gigantic workshop to
which you can see a regular stream of
human beings run in the morning. The
entire establishment is surrounded by
a high wall, or fence. There are on
ly certain gates where the workmen
are allowed to enter.

Gen. Harrison's Relics.
Philadelphia Press.

Relics of the campaign of 40, when
his grandfather was elected President
are received daily by Gen. Harrison
from all parts of the country. The
most of them come from old Wings who
were enthusiastic admirers and fol-
lowers of "Old TippecanOe," and with
hopes that they will bring him good
luck their cherished mementoes are
forwarded to the grandson of their old
hero. These relics are kept in large
drawer in an upstairs room and are
given reverential care. D. S. Alexan-
der, the Generals private secretary,
while placing in the collection recently
an old log cabin button received from
some town in New York, exhibited to
the Press correspondent the contents
of the drawer.
The collection consists chiefly of
buttons, coins and blems
of the log cabin and hard cider cam
paign-all of which bear designs of in
scriptiOns that were popular at that
time. Among the oddities is a glass
sauce dish in which appears picture
of Gen. VIM. Henry Harrison with the
date of his election and birth. On
nearly all of the relics appears the
characteristic log cabin with a barrel
of hard cider standing beside the door.
A piece of copper in imitation of coin
bears the outline of a pair of scales, the
side ascending representative of the
democrats and the descending of the
Wings, around which is the inscrip-
ton, "Weighed in the balance and
found wanting" On the reverse side
is an outline of Gen. Harrison's head.

The Senator's Signature.

Reporters are not the worst fellows
in the world after all, as the following
story shows, says the New York Mail.
1t was during the last session of the
Legislature, and one of the members
had sent a message to his home,
which message the young lady opera
tor had failed to read correctly. Her
mistake had occasiOned the senator a
good deal of annoyance and some loss,
and to revenge himself on the operator
he had had her discharged. The poor
girl was seen by a reporter as she was
leaving the telegraph office, her eyes
filed with tears, and he was not long
in finding out what had occasioned
them. He cOnsOled the girl as best he
could, and at once made a break for
the senator.
"See here, SENATOR" he said, running
up against that gentleman in the hotel
corridor, "that young girl who failed
to read your message correctly has
been discharged"
81 know it, and good job it is, too.
What right had she to make my mes
sage, Il will be home tonight read Il
will be home to fight ?'n
''Oh, well, senator, mistakes will
happen, You know, and L want you to
withdraw your complaint and have her
reinstated."

'Oh, yes, you will"
''But | say won't"
"But | know you will. You are GO
ing to sign telegram l will write to
the superintendent of the company
asking for her reinstatement"
"I tell you am not"
"Then hereafter, senator, every
speech you make | will report verba-
tim, and if you think you can afford to
send home to your constituents the
records containing such"
"Say no more" broke in the senator,

ELECTION RETURNS.
judges Beatty and Works Elected to II,
.SIIIlrsIIle L

| judges Beatty and Works Elected to the
Supreme Bench.
The totals of the election are very
slowly reported. The interest in the re-
suit as to Presidential Electors resides
now only in the amount of General Harri-
sons majority. The latest returns, with
Humboldt, Inyo, Mendocino, Merced, Mo-
doc, Mono, Trinity, San Diego, Solano
and San Francisco incomplete, give these
footings: Harrison 126,O3l, Cleveland
III ,563, Fisk $500, Curtis 1902. In the
Congressional election, it is now certain
that Morrow, Phelps, McKenna end Van
dever, Republicans, and Briggs, Democrat
are elected. In the case of DeHaven
(R.) and Thompson I'd. }, the latest returns
give the former l,906, and the latter ,533,
but Trinity, Siskiyou, Tehama, Plumas,
Modoc, Mendocino, Humboldt and Colusa
are incomplete. The belief is entertained
that De Haven will maintain his lead.
The chief interest now centers upon the
returns affecting the result between Works
(R.) and Sullivan d. for the Supreme
Bench-Judge Beatty's election being con-
ceded on all sides. The footings to this
writing give Justice Works III ,5S3 and
Judge Sullivan 113,049, or majority for
the latter of ], ,466. But Modoc and Mono
are unreported in the list. In it San Diego
is incomplete, and Humboldt is reported
as giving each of the candidates less than
half the votes received by their respective
Presidential heads. Thus in Humboldt
General Harrison received 1888 and
Cleveland 1899, while the re-
turns to date give Works but
], 20 and Sullivan S97, or but .3z5 ma
lority for Works If they followed the
.leads of the tickets, however, Justice
" @orks will have $50 majority, reducing
the majority stated for Judge Sullivan
from / .466 to 952. The returns also give
in San Diego but S35to Works and &c 70
Su@llvan, 4 majority Of 219 to the former.
But dispatch to Justice Works from San
Diego assures him his majority there ey-
ceeds 1,700. Accepting this as correct he
is to We credited with l,4Sl more. which
wipes out the 952 majority figured for
Judge Sullivan, and gives Justice Works a
majority of 500. Since the above was
written dispatch from Les Angeles has
been received, stating Justiee Works ma.
jority to be 4.60a. In the returns first re-
ferred to, and which give Ssllivan ma
jority of l.466, Los Angeles vas credited
with a majority for Works of 4,265. The
later return gives him 1886 ssore than
ahat, which, with San Diego's majority.
elects him, 10 mater how HuEaLoidt re-

IT is credible to the police authorities of
Chicago that the Anarchists were pre-
vented from parading the streets on Sun
day, the anniversary of the Anarchist
murderers' execution. Had the police
officials been as firm three years ago, there
would have been no Haymarket massacre,
no hanging of the Parsons gang, and pos
sibly no Anarchist organization left at this
date.

One of the best guarantees of wise and
sagacious administration of public affairs
by General Harrison is the consummate
skill with which he conducted himself
during the campaign. No candidate for
the Presidency ever took more active
part in his own campaign or spoke to the
people oftener. Yet General Harrison
Harrison made no mistakes; he never
allowed enthusiasm to unsettle his iudg-
ment; at no time did he close his head"
and not once was his calm and dignity of
repose broken by act or expression. His
whole course in the campaign was an
earnest of the "level-headed" President
that is to occupy the White House on the
4th of next March. Unless we greatly mis-
take the man, he is going to prove a great
surprise to both friends and political enc
mics, and will be and keep himself free
from any influences relation to which
would tend either to smirch his Admins
tration or minimize his independence.
