Enormous Extent ofthe Timber Region
of the Dark Continent.
From the Net0 Yorl Sun.
.....-.A E.-...A Al...-...--l EsA---l =

From, the Neto York SIN.
The great forest through which Stanley
recently passed, which he estimated to
cover 100000 sqnare miles, is only small
part of the great African forest which ex-
tends almost unbrokenly from the west
coast in the liaboon and Ogowe regions.
with a width of several hundred miles to
the great la@es. This belt Of timber, trend
ing away to the heart Of the continent in a
direction a little south of east is, perhaps,
the greatest forest region III the world. A
part of it strikes south of the Congo at the
great northe n bend of that river, and the
country embraced within the big curve is
covered with a compact forest, the tower
ing and wide-spreading trees shutting out a
large part of the sunlight.
In these forests, completely shut out from
the rest of the world, live hundreds Of
thousands of people who are almost un-
known to the tribes living in the savanna
regions outside. Scattered through the big
woods within the Congo bend are little
communities of Batwa dwarfs, of whose
existence the traveller has no inkling until
he suddenly comes upon them. Here also,
along the Sanzuru river, are the tree habi-
ia tions described by DR.. Wolf. where the
natives live III huts built among the
branches to escape the river floods. 1t was
in great clearlng madein these forests that
Kund and Tappenbeck discovered some OF
the most notable villages yet found in
Africa, where well built huts with gable
roofs, line both sides of a neatly kept street
that stretches away for eight or nine miles.
These villages are even more interesting
than the street towns in the more sparsely
timbered regions south Of them, which were
regarded as very wonderful when they
were first discovered by Wissmann. 1t was
his account of these villages that led Bishop
Taylor to choose this part OF Africa as the
goal he wished to reach.

THE CHAMPION EATER.
A Man Who Cannot Get Food Enough
to Keep from Being Hungry.
From the 81. Louis Republic.

From the 81. Louis Republic
GLOUCESTER, MASS, April 2L-The
champion hurry man lives IL Essex. aud
his name is Samuel Morse. He is afflicted
with most peculiar disease, being con-
stantly hungry, and will eat ra venously
nearly every hour in the twenty-four, get
ting up several times during the night to
appease his appetite. He has been examined
By many prominent physicians, none Of
whom can give any reason for this
abnormal appetite, or pre- crlbe any
medicine which will afford relief He Is
not at all particular what il is If it is only
something TO eat. He will bake a quart Of
beans d cat the most Of them at one sitting
aud in ten minutes be hungry for more. He
recently purchased four and half pounds
Of lamb and made broth of it and ate the
whole IN the course Of two hours. Such a
free partaking Of food causes considerable
uaeasiness and depression, but there is no
getting away from 1t. The constant hunger
calls for appeasement. Hungry be goes to
bed hungry be rises in the morning, and
the vast quantities Of food which be par
takes Of 40 uo6 seem to benefit him. He
has been afflicted IN this manner for ten
wears.

Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1889-03-16

West Virginia Republicans have
been steadily and gradually wrest
ing the State from their adversaries
for several years, and it is believed
that they have elected their COVER
nor The Nation has been in Dem
ocratic hands for four years, and
again Republican president has ia
ken charge. The land is filled with
ofice-hunters. Old experience, dry
bones, laziness, incompetency, pre-
sumption, imrudence, and inexperi-
ence are all asking recognition and
appointment. We suggest to Presi-
dent Harrison that to West Virginia
this means a great deal. 1t will re-
quire careful selection, after the most
prudent consideration, if he hopes or
desires to keep this State in line and
present her next electoral vote to his
party. With a very few exceptions,
Mr.. Cleveland's appointments in this
State and their sub-appointments,
were not from the influential, solid
men Of his party-perfectly compe-
tent to draw the pay and wholly in
competent to influence a vote, except
against them. The result has been
virtuallya political wreck ofthe party.
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1889-03-16

The same character Of appoint
ments, in this State, by the present
administration will produce a simil-
ar result. There are plenty of good
men in the State, but as a rule they
are not the men hawking around pc
tittons and papers and playing mon
key and begging for an appointment
simply TO draw the pay, in the
hope that there is no work to be per
formed We ask the President to
be very careful in making his select
ions. Give us able men--men, who
in the business world in the struggle
of life, are men among men, able to
take care of themselves and pull the
others along too-not the insipid vac
illating, weak, puerile stuff, whose
only chance in life is to crawl into
the hole that the pushing men made.
No man can build against storms or
wrest victory from struggle and con-
test without good material West
Virginia wants her best material to
