AN AFRICAN EMPIRE.
IMPORTANCE OF RECENT OEVEl-
OPMENTS IN UGANDA. :.

Race and Religious War in Central Africa
How the Empire Of Uganda Was Built
Up-Stanley at Mtesa's Court-Moham-
medan VS.. Christian.
When the old time reader sees in his
daily or weekly paper a telegram with
display heads to the effect that there has
been a revolution in Uganda, that
Mwanga has been deposed and Kiwewa
made king, he scarcely knows whether
this took place in Hayti or Afghanistan,
for these are new names to him. But
really this dispatch marks a new epoch,
for we are now SO near to Central Africa
that we read one day what was known
the day before at the city of Zanzibar,
and find that it concerns all Christian
nations. Christianity and Mohammed-
anism are fighting hard battle for the
control of the dark races; the Arabs are
maintaining the slave trade against all
the agents and missionaries of Christen-
dom, and the revolution Just reported
may decide the fate of Stanley and Emin
Bey, the outcome of the war in the
Soudan and the destiny of equatorial
Africa for the next century.
Uganda is a great native African
empire. In that territory are the sources
of the Nile. Victoria and Albert lakes
float the fleets of by no means con-
temptible monarch, and its former
king, Mtesa, was a great friend of
Stanley in his first expedition. From
the mouths of its statesmen and warriors
Stanley heard the history of this i'm

Effects OF Blood Drinking.

As to it's medicinal value the reporter
spoke to several physicians. They were al
Eiost unanimous in saying that the whole
practice was based on superstition and
ignorance. Said DR.. j. NJ Macauley:
"Ihere has been an unreasonable belief
since time immemorial that the blood Of
freshly slaughtered cattle possessed oc-
cult virtues in curing consumption and
general exhaustion. This belief obtains
to much larger extent in Europe than
here | myself have seen, in the large
abattoirs in Paris, rows on rows Of sick
people, taken from every rank and sta
ton in life, from the bloSted or enact
ated voluptuary down to the thin
seamstress with hectic flush in her
cheeks, all intent on their morn
ings rations of blood. But it's all
sheer nonsense. In cases where the blood
was said to have effected a cure it was
something else, generally the more "a
tional mode of living, which was really
responsible for it. Consumption can GER
tainly not be cured with blood. If the
stomach has strong enough digestive power
TO assimilate such blood it is strong enough
TO assimilate milk and bread and meat,
things which contain as much or more
lfourishing power than blood. And to
really debilitated system blood as diet
may prove seriously injurious. A case
which is likely to be benefited by diet Of
OK blood will be more surely benefited by
q moro rational and appetizing diet, but
the great panacea is still-as it always
has been-pure air, simple living, plenty OF
exercise, regular hours That's the whole
thing IA nutshell. Chicago Herald.

How doc" Smart Broke the Banks

"Doc" Smart, a noted Western bandit,
with two confederates, bought all the
playing cards at Ell Paso, at Goldsberg's
stationery store, paying for them S75,
and when questioned as to what they in
tended doing with them said that they
were going up in the mines and expected
to do great business, but if they failed
would like the privilege to return what
they did not use. Goldsberg consented,
and in a few days they returned with
about half of them.
This same Goldsberg was in the habit
of furnishing all the faro banks in town
with cards, and upon receiving orders
for them and having none on hand ex-
cept those returned by Smart he divided
the lot between the different 'banks,"
and on the same night every bank" in
Ell Paso was "busted" by Smart and
few of his confederates The last "bank
broke" examined their cards, and found
that every card had been ''pinched.
An investigation at each "bank"
showed their cards "pinched" in the
same manner. 1t was found out next
day that Smart had returned these cards
to Goldsberg, and, of course, it was de-
cided that Smart and his gang ''pinched"
them. The town was too hot for him
for several days after. 1t is estimated
that the winnings were about S125 200.

THE GOULD MAUSOLEUM.
Its Construction Was Planned by Mr.
Gould, Who Was First to Repose in 1t.

Its Construction Was Planned by Mrs.
Gould. Who Was First to Repose in 1t.
The death of Mrs. Jay Gould, which
took place recently in New York, occurs
when her husband is understood to be
withdrawing from all business, and when
he would most need the attention of his
wife. Some thirty years ago, when
Union square was bounded by dwellings,,
on the corner diagonally opposite the
Everett house, lived Daniel G. Miller,
who made a fortune In the wholesale
grocery trade. At the time Jay Gould
lived at the Everett house. Mr. Miller
and Mr.. Gould purchased a controlling
interest in the Rutland and Washington
railroad, and Jay Gould married Mr..
Miller's daughter.
Six children were the result of the
marriage, the oldest of whom is George,
who married Edith Kingdom, the actress;
and the youngest is about 12 years old.
Mrs. Gould brought her husband dowry
of $4,000, which she lent to him to
make his fortune with. At first it
looked as though he would make his
wife pauper instead of a millionaire;
but the event proved otherwise. Mrs.
Gould's fund was kept separate from
her husbands until recently, when he
turned over to her some S2.000.000.

MADAME DE VARNEY."
Remarkable Romance of an Expert Fe-
male Pickpocket.

male Pickpocket.
The latest sensation in Paris is the arrest Of
a Nine de Varney, an American, as pick
pocket. She was held for three days and
then told that her arrest was mistake. She
left the Jail without her money and her
jewels and, returning for them, was again
arrested The American minister took up
the case and she was at last released
Had the French police communicated with
Inspector Byrnes, Of New York, they would
not have labored under the accusation of
having made mistake. Here is her career
in America, according to the Inspector:
Her real name is Sophie Lyons. She be-
longs to family of thieves. Her father and
mother sisters and brothers are all thieves;
her son is thief and died in prison. The
madame is very LADY like in appearance, of
dark complexion and has slightly Hebraic
features" She is the daughter of one Elkins,
who was especially expert in shoplifting.
As a child thief Sophie was an infant
phenomenon. She was often arrested, but
was such an innocent looking little thing
that her victims were unwilling to proceed
against her. When she was about 16 years
old she married notorious pickpocket named
Maury Harris, but her honeymoon was ruth
lessly ended, the bride being arrested for
pocket picking and sent to Sing Sing for two
years
She served her term and returned to her
profession. Soon after she became intimate
with dutch Heinrichs," a celebrated bank
thief, but she seems to have been fastidious
in the matter of husbands, and tried several
before finding one suited to her mind. After
remaining with Heinrichs awhile she mar
ried Ned Lyons. In these alliances Sophie
kept climbing, for Lyons was at the top of
the profession of bank burglars.
The pair lived happily together, and had
four children, three girls and boy But the
father was finally caught and sent to Sing
Sing, and the mother returned to her old

yanCes."

erable to do in deciding his course. st

arrangements will be made doubtless at
