Some experiences are suffi cie: tly thrilling at second hand even the most adventurous person could scarcely wish for & nearer acquaintance with them.

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
II Looks Like the Rebels Had the
Better OF 1t

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.-From a GEN
tleman intimately acquainted with Bra
lillian politics it is learned that the reyo.
luton is purely military, and only for
midable from lack of troops outside of
Rio TO bring against the revolutionists'
forces in Rio of about 60OO. There is not
more than 10000 in addition scattered all
over the empire. General Fonseca, who
Is at the head of the revolution, was ac-
cused of insubordination last July, and
the minister of war proposed to have
him court martialed but the emperor
forbade 1t. If the whole force in Rio are
of one mind things can be carried with a
high hand.
many OF the senators and deputies are
already in the city. If they agree 10 rec
ognize the new government, Dom Pc
dro's abdication may be looked for. If
they do not, they will have to 20 to iail.
As the revolutionists control the cable
definite news may not be received for
sevcral days.
The revolution came as a great sur
prise. No financial troubles exist. The
August elections were peaceful. The
liberal cabinet proposes popular meas
ares and the emperor is universally
liked. The coup de main may affect the
status Of Brazilian delegates TO the Pan
American congress.
The only Information received by the
department. OF state in regard to the
revolution In Brazil is a cablegram stat
Ing that II revolution had taken place
and that the minister of marine had
been shot.

OPENING DAY.
At Least $500 People Were Carried
Over the ELECTRIC Line.

over the Electric Line.
Yesterday was opening day for
the Ross Park street railway, and
the event was II continuation of the
series Of triumphs for all connected
with the enterprise. A brighter,
clearer, or more inspiring day could
not have been selected for the Oc-
casion. The programme was car
ried out without IL hitch or break,
and those who took advantage of
the opportunity to assist in the
opening by riding over the route,
pronounced it as splendid and de
/ lightful.
At 10 o'clock the cars began NOV
ing on schedule time. The hand
some coach Boston led the van
and was followed i'm turn by "Spo-
kane Falls" "St. Louisu and
Washington" The Boston
moved easily away and was soon
gliding swiftly and smoothly over
the path of steel with its load of
guests.
The car spun noisclcssly along
under the pressure of the Invisible
force and in a few minutes arrived
ut the terminus. Here the passen-
gers alighted and applauded a short
complimentary address of congratu-
lation delivered by A. j. Ross.
Returning toward the city, a
lunch RECALLED the pleased excursion
lists, while the band filled the pine
groves with music.
The cars continued their trips fif-
teen minutes apart and maintained
the schedule all day. Every car
was crowded, and at least $500 peo-
pie were taken over the line, and
had more coaches been put on the
number would have been larger.
Amongst the guests were members
of the city council and board of
trade and nearly all prominent citi-

"Antie, did the angels carry Mrs.
Jones UP to heavenW
"why, Charlie, think so. Mrs. Jones
was good women"
"She was an awfully fat woman. The
angels must be strong"
Passengers in the train from Wood
lawn turned to look at the G-year-old
boy who was bent on getting inforrna-
tion. He was a manly little fellow,
with bright, pretty face that showed
intelligence beyond his years. His
young aunt seemed to be anxions to
stop the flow of questions, but he was
bound to know something more about
angels then and there.
"How do you know there are angels,
auntie?' ,I.
"Because we read about them. Wait
until you can read, and then you will
know more about them.
But why-why don't we see the
angels2 Did you ever see an angelo"
"Hushl don't talk so loud, Charlie.
OF course we don't see them, but we see
their pictures. Don't you remember
the angels in that pretty book that
Uncil John sent you"
"Yes, but-but where do the angels
there gallery where they take pictures
OF angels-only just Of angelsP,
perhaps SO, don't know,
"Then why don't the angels put on
more clothes when they have their
pictures taken?"

will make aunties head ache.h
Charlie meditated in silence for a few
minutes, and remarked: II don't know
why Mr.. Brown said you were his"
"Williamsbridge! shouted the brake
man, and as the train came to a stand
still the small boy got q shaking and 2
whispered warning that stopped all
further talk about angels.

EATEN BY AN ALLIGATOR.
A Horrible Death Reported From
Camden County, Georgia.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, November Last
Tuesday a negro boy named Tom WASH
ington, Of Camden county, was captured
and eaten by an alligator. 1t is without
doubt the most horrible form of death
that ever came TO light in this section.
Briefly summed up the story ia as fol-
lows: Tom Washington, in company
with his father and anoUher negro, went
fishing on the day in question to Dennis
mill pond in South Carolina. After sup
plying themselves with half boatload
of the finny tribe, the party headed
their boat for the landing. Just before
starting, however, Tom was ordered to
change from the prov to the stern of
the boat. In attempting to do this he
fell overheard. Before he could regain
the boat monster alligator arose to the
surface and fastened his jaws about the
boy s body. The boy began 70 shrek
father for help. Human assistance,
however, could avail nothing, and the
boy was carried beneath the waters.
The two negroes then returned to the
landing and told the story over tho COM
munity, and, securing party, they put
back to the fatal scene. The men were
all armed, and after reaching the spot, a
little dog, brought along for the pur-
pose, was thrown into the water as bait
for the alligator. No sooner did the dog
strike the water than the monster made
an attack upon it. AT u given signal
everybody fired upon the huge animal
killing him instantly. The alligators s
body was then taken ashore and cut
opeii. In its entrails human flesh and
clothing were found.

EDITOR REVIEW: The climate
in this region Is undergoing n
change, much to the discomfort of IL
few of lis unprepared ones, but we
predict a very mild winter.
There have been several quiet
weddings hereabouts, solemnized by
our worthy justice of the peace, j.
B. Johnson, and the social season il
again rediscovered with the coming
of the breezes that stir the socially
inclined in making the distances
that separate them I'm far country
like this.
DR.. Russell of Spokane was called
here to find n. :. Pratt down with
typhoid fever. Under his care the
patient RECEIVERS fast. Judging from
the way Mr. Pratt gets on, we want
u good old-fashioned country doctor,
one that can live outside of the city
and be happy enough. Such an one
could do well here, for since the
come lots of fever and IL few acci-
tttlllS- llip'NlbiN tHt tNllS Nlil'il az
ways follow good, according to old
philosophy, but all the same require
the hand OF science, which Is hard
to persuade OF purchase now.
Business Is increasing in this little
village, though there are some who
still think 1t can not continue to do
so unless n saloon be allowed to dis
pcnsc the so-called elixir of life, or
clrculator of the root of all evil, i'm
portant as the evil itself by the shall
low thinker or selfish man. Here
they step as briskly and handle their
money rs freely as the city resident
who has the attractions of "the Sill
yer Lode" here and the "GOlden
Quart" there TO cheer him through
his weary struggle for life and bread.
And when we hear man say "you
can not have II town without n sa-
LOOM we simply think IL he is right
and wise, we are wrong and fool,
and prefer our way. Let the cities
have the saloons If they want them,
but give us rest outside.
The station-house at Crescent Is
nearly completed, as is the section
house, and are quite an addition in
the line of Improvements. With u
better road II will he ~ great help to
our citizens, If 1t be n mile or two
away. Our scmi-weekly mail leaves
here i'm the morning as it formerly

Parnell's, Mother Living in
Great Destitution,
And LYING AT DEATHS DOOR
Her Noble Heart Would Not Lot
Her Impart Her Condition
to Her Son.

BoRDENTowN, N. j., Nov. 16.--Dr
Jenkins Of Trenton was called to the
residence OF Mrs. Della Parnell to-day TO
treat that lady. He says he found the
mother of the great Irish agitator verg.
ing on complete collapse and suffering
from congestion of the brain. When ho
called she was about to dine on vegeta-
bles without either bread or coffee.
There is nothingto feed live stock on the
place and her Irish servant had sold
some wood to buy food for over Sunday.
NelghDors say that Mrs. Parnell has
been in extreme destitution for some
time past, but has concealed the fact
and told them she did not wish her son
to know 1t, his burden already being
great, and his resources almost entirely
exhausted. Mrs. Parncll's property In
Philadelphia Is involved In litigation,
and the homestead where she is living is
mortgaged.
Edward Slevin, who is acting as Mrs.
Parnells servant and manager OF her
property, is an Irish patriot, who was u
prisoner with Parnell in Kilmainham
jail. Slevin confirms the stories of Mrs.
Parnelrs poverty and her refusal to let
her son know. He says she IL
very destitute and has scarcely the neces-
saries Of life.

New YoRK, Nov. 16.--Scanlan, the
actor, will arrange benefit performance
for Mrs. Parnell. In the meantime he
has sent her money needed to pay taxes

so hard the entire building, with
25,000 bushels barley, and about
10000 bushels wheat, was soon
melted down. Mr.. Austin had $1,000

above insurance. Knapp, Burrell 4
Company had II large number of

BERIIS, Nov. G.-Developments of
Bismarck's diplomacy promise to result
in permanent accord between Austria
and Russia. The scheme restores Rus
sia's dominance in Bulgaria; Russia, in
return, recognizing Austria's possession
of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Crispi has
intimated to Bismarck that the sanction
of Italy might depend upon the cession
of Trentlno by Austria, but Count
Kalnoky held that the sacrifice Of
Trentino is impossible. The Innsbruck
interview brought the negotiations to q
climax. Emperor Francis Joseph con-
scnted to leave Prince erdinand to his
fate, and said he would not oppose the
Russian candidate, provided he was
elected under the conditions of the Ber-
lin treaty. He practically accorded the
car a full hand in bulgaria, short of
Russian occupation, but declined to con-
sdered the question OF Trentino.
The } porte is ready as soon as
it learns that Austria and Russia
hnve accepted Prince Bismarck's
mediation, TO send a circular
letter to the signatorv powers dcnounc-
ing the illcgality of the present govern
ment of Bulgaria. If kalnoky keeps
faith with bismarck, the attitude OF the
Vienna cabinet toward Bismarck must
change. The divergence between the
Berlin and Vienna policies has recently
become marked and Bulgarian, agents at
Vienna have been semi-oificially recog.
nizcd.
The Lauder bank has negotiated new
Bulgarian loan, and the Austrian consul
at Sophia is the contidante and adviser
of Prince Ferdinand. The German con
sui, on the other hand, did not even
salute Ferdinand OH meeting him on tac
street and completely ignored him as
the head of the government.
