EMlN INJURED.

After enduring the harlsIlps of many
years OF residence in the interior Of
Africa, and the fatigucs and dangers of
his journey to the sea- it has been the
Fate of Emin Pasha to receive an injury
which is likely to result in his death.
The pasha is very near-sighted and
habltually wears glasses. He attempted
to go about his room ut bag
amoyo, Dec. b, without them, and
unconsciously walked out of the
window, falling some distance to the
ground. He was Immediately picked
up and conveyed into the house where it
was found that he had sustained frac-
ture Of the skull, which all of the doc
tors at Bagamayo, except Stanley's own
physician. pronounce fatal. Stanley's
doctor shares the opinion Of his col
leagues that Emin is in very critical
condition but expresses hope that he may
be able to save his life. AS it is the
pasha cannot, under the most favorable
circumstances, be removed from Baga-
mayo for some time.

THE cot.co FREE cTATE.

"Nhen l finally reached Europe, In Jan
uary, lS1s,:' says Stanley, 'slowly recoy-
cring from the effects Of famine and fatigue
endured on t:lat long Journey, little did 1
imagine that before the close of the year I
should be preparing for another expedition
for the banks Of that river on which we had
suffered so greaIly; but at Marscilles, as de-
sceillcd from the express just arrived from
Italy, two commissioners from the king Of
tie Belgians, Leopold II, met me, aud before
was two hours older was made aware that
King Leopold intended to Undertake to do
something substantial III Africa, anu that I
was expected to assist him." ~.

After moving around the lake and helping
Mtesa to reduce Il rebellious province, STAN
ley visited Lake Mnta Nzige, tho source of
the White Nile, and then worked his way
south to Ujiii, OIL Lake Tanganika. Cross
ing the lake he pushed out in the very center
of Africa to find the head waters of tho
river Congo. On Nov. 49, 1916, he pitched
his camp on the banks of tho Lualaba, which
is the ebeginning of what Stanley called tho
Livingstone, now known as the Congo.
StaAley's journey on the Congo was re-
peatcd several years after, only that he went
up the1ivcr instead of down. As his last
journey was under more favorable auspices
aud accomplished practical results it will be
more interesting to follow him in his travels
up tho Congo.

In 18Th Stanley was returning to England
from the Ashantee war. On tho route be
heard that Livingstone was dead. ''Ho had
died on the shores Of Lake Bembn, on the
threshold of the dark region he lad wished
to explore" Stanley became fired with q
resolution to complete Livingstonc's work.
Lvingstone's body was removed to England
and laid III Westminster Abbey. Stanley
was one of the bearers. Very soon after lie
began to accumulate u library of books on
Africa, anu was soon the possessor of 40
volumes, which he carefully studied. One
day he strolled into the office of The Daily
Telegraph i'll London, and during n CONVEX
sation WAS asked if he could and would COM
plete Livingstone's task. He replied: "The
outlet to Lake Tanganyikn is undiscovered.
We know nothing scarcely, except what
Speke has sictchcd out, of Lake Victoria:
VIC do not even know whether it consists of
one or many lakes, and therefore the sources
Of tho Nile nre still unknown. Moreover
the western half Of the African continent IS
still white blank
James Gordon Bennett Of The New York
Herald, was soon after tclegraphed to to know
if he would Join The Daily Telegraph in
sending Stanley to Africa TO complete the
discoveries Of Speke, Burton and Livingstone
Bennett answered. laconically "Ycs"
AS Stanley proposed GU this expedition to
explore Lakes Victoria Nynnza and Tangan-
yika, and afterwnrd to proceed down the
Congo, the chief matter for preparation was
boats, He procured Il yawl, Il gig, pontoons
and a barge. Tho latter was divided into
five sections When these were put together
the boat measured 20 feet in length G feet
beam and % inches deep She was made Of
Spanish cedar, three eighths of un inch thick,
and Stanley named her tho Lady Alice
Three Young Enslishnlen volunteered to 20

Cost Of lIrcssei

Stories of the cost of dresses for the stn.o
are mostly exaggerated, First, the dress
maker gives out fabulous figure with tho
knowledge Of the buyer, and then the gossips
make it still bigger Finally the newspapers
get hold Of it and magnify it again till it is
Inflated half dozen times beyond the actual
cost. Why, some of the figures quoted for

THEIR FATAL JOKE.
Mill Employe Horribly Mutilated and
 Killed by Ills Friends.

G.HSs FALLS, N. Y, Sept. 14:-Facts have just come to light regarding the Heath of John Gordon, an employe at the mills of the Lake George Pulp and Paper Company, Ticonderoga, which .diotic practical joke of his fellow employees.
 Gordon came into the mill and, feel ing tired and sleepy, lay down on some bagging, with a swiftly revolving shaft almost directly over him. While he was asleep the jOkers tied oneend of a rope around his feet and concluded to throw the other end over the shaft, thinking that it would arouse Gordon from his slumber and badly frighten him, and then they would cut the rope and free him.
 The plan worked admirably with the exception of one vital detail. The end of the rope was thrown over the shaft, which was making 125 revolutions per minute. It caught in the whirling mechanism, and before either of the men could prevent. the body shot up into the air, and his waking cry of sur prise was the only cry he ever uttered. He was whirled around and around by the machinery and hurled with terrible force against a beam. Death was in stantaneous. The body was horribly mutilated, and appalled, by their fatal folly, the men who encompassed the tradgedy stood stupefied with horror, With the shock went the reason of one of the miserable jokers. The other will probably be held criminally respon- sible for Gordon's death.

A Very Astonished Musician.

One adventure of dead Bot:esini's should be remembered. He was playing one night at Antwerp, and there was full room, and considerable curiosity for his turn to begin. He took his place beside his colossal double bass and commenced his variations. The public were electrified and so was the player. No one who knows the double bass could say of the instrument that it was sQueaky and shrieky. It has its faults, but at least shrillness is not one of them. The sounds came forth that evening piercing and pathetic. The player looked terrified; his instrument seemed bewitched and the sounds continued even when the bow was not drawn across the strings. For mo- ment Bottesinl faltered. and then plunging his hand into the internal cavities of his big instrument, he drew it back very hurriedly. He introduced it again very carefully and took out and held up to tho room cat. The entertainment did not end there There were kittens tO follow
