THE CONGO RAILROAD.
1t Will Cost 100000 and Ground
Will be Broken This Fall.

The engineers who have been making the
surveys and preparing the plans for the Congo
railroad in Africa, around the cataracts have
completed their work. At special meeting
of the Royal Geographical Society at Antwerp
they have made known the conditions
under which the road will be built
They say that it will take s., 600, 600 to build
the road, equip it with rolling stock, and pay
interest on the investment during the period
OF construction, which is fixed at four years
The total length of the road viii be about
264 miles, and it will extend from Matadi at
the head of navigation on the lower Congo,
70 the village of Ndalo, on the south shore of
Stanley Pool
In the first fifteen miles between Matadi
and Palaballa are found the only difficulties
OF construction, which are occasioned by the
ROCKY and rolling nature of the land. The
rest of the route is laid along the plateau be-
hind the hills that skirt the left bank of the
Congo, and is exceptionally favorable for
railroad building.
Only three important bridges viii be re-
quired. One of them will be $50 feet long
over the Inkissi River and the others viii
each be $50 feet long over the rivers Mpozo
and XVIII. It is expected that ground viii
be broken this fall.

H the Indian, and he will. without an

kiss another, even among lovers or be-
tween mother and child, bat hugging Is
most theoretically practiced. There are,
of course, many other sly ways of court
ing. The marriage soon follows as a
matter of trade between the respective
parents. Though in Indian marriages
the affair savors strongly of commercial
transaction, and the wife is usually
spoken of as being secured through pur-
chase or theft, still, as a rule, there is
quite an expenditure of sentiment and
affection prior to the business part of it.
Marriages between blood relations is for
hidden among them.
The general idea Of sickness among the
Indians seems to be that an evil spirit has
entered the person, and that when it is
exercised all will be well. The efforts Of
the doctor or ''medicine man" are prin-
cipally directed toward casting out this
malign and mysterious presence through
chanting, dancing and other hocuspocus
Very little medicine in roots and herbs is
taken internally, and surgery is little
known among them. Faith in a happy
hereafter for all is universal, and in con-
sequence Indians are not agonized with
fear and doubt at the approach of death.
Nature has given them, in common with
all other animals an innate desire for life,
and this in connection with their social
laws, which forbid self-destruction, keeps
them from committing suicide, so that
this crime IS rare among them. There
are some wonderfully pretty beliefs among
the Indians treating of the Great Spirit
and the great beyond.
The Indians are essentially a religious
people, or more correctly, a superstitious
people, and, as bats thrive best in dark
ness, SO do superstitions in barbarism.

One Cause Of Badness.

One great cause of badness, in tho
opinion of Western knight of the razGT,
is the habit many people have of changing
the style of hair cutting two or three
times year, or nearly as often. He says:
They insist on short Pompadour' IN
the hottest months, less pronounced
crop in Ghe fall, and then wear their hair
longer as the weather gets colder, gradu-
ally approaching shave again by the
time the thermometer gets up in the nine
ties. Now ali this may be very comforta-
bic, but it is very bad for the hair and
scalp. 1t is best to wear the hair short
all the year round, brush it freely and
trust TO nature for the only really efec-
tive substitute for pomade."

4 STEAMER CUT DOWN.
The Polynesian Sinks the Gym
thia i'm the st. Lawrence.
Eight Men From the Grew of the
Cynthia Lose Their Lives.

The Donaldson line steamship Cynthia,
bound from Glasgow for Montreal, was run
into by the steamer Polynesian and sunk,
just after daylight, a few miles below
Montreal, Canada, and eight persons were
drowned within one hundred yards of shore
and help.
The steamer Polynesian had the mails and
a cabin full of passengers aboard.
The two steamers arrived in sight Of each
other near Pointe aux Trembles. ten miles be-
low Montreal about 40 Through some mis-
understanding the Polynesian attempted to
pass on the port side 1t is rule to keep to the
right, but the Pofynesian kept to the left,
heading directly for the Cynthia. The col
lision followed minute latter. Both vessels
had stopped their engines. The Cynthia was
struck few feet abaft her stern on the star
board side and ripped open as if she were
made of cardboard.
The Cynthia by the force of the current
backed off the bow of the Polynesian, and
the latter, finding herself clear, started up
her engines again, and without as much as a
hail or an inquiry.
The Cynthia's pilot, upon getting clear, at
tempted to run her into the shore, only two
hundred yards distant, but before two-thirds
of the distance had been made the steamer
began to settle. Fifteen men who got into
lifeboat were thrown into the water by the
fall of a mass of rigging. All Of the crew but
Ferron and two seamen took to the rigging.
The three remained on the quarter deck over
the screw.
In the meantime John McVey, a Scotch
man, and about the only English-speaktng
person among over hundred who stood on
the shore watching the boats crew strug-
Cling for their lives put off in punt.
He reached the stern and told Fer
ron and the two seamen to get into
his boat, but they told him to first rescue the
pilot, who was unable to swim and was drift
ing away on plank. He did so. Then he
turned to get the other three men, just in
time to see the Cynthias forward deck burst
up with loud explosion, and the
stern fly into the air and then sink.
Ferron never was seen again. His COM
panions were rescued. Most of the others
on board jumped, while several of them
were carried down with the steamer Low
was killed while drinking his coffee in the
forecastle forward, the collision debris crush
ing him to death.
Both the Cynthia's pilot and Captain Tay-
Tor lay the blame upon the Polynesian.
The crew of the Cynthia say that if the
Polynesian had stopped or lowered boat
the loss of life on the Cynthia would only
have been that of Low. The crew in
their wet clothes and exhausted con-
dition were compelled to walk the ten miles
to Montreal, the French Canadian conductor
of the horse car refusing to carry them for
nothing or to take the Captains watch Sc
curity for the ST. so worth of fares because it
was wet.

WISE WORDS.

Assumed virtue is false dignity.
Self admiration is lonesome exercise.
A trained man will never go straight.
Wise men always have to be told how
wise they are.
Queer things are not so queer after they
become utilized
Appearances are not always the evil
dence of happiness.
Ignorance is more respectable than the
abuse of knowledge.
A tailor-made man should never be
considered responsible.
Common sense demands a government
that will govern impartiaIly.
There is no greater success in life than
to always have an object in view.
No man can exert greater influence
than by exhibiting his own self-respect.
A reformer to be successful must al
ways be prepared to take his own drugs.
The man who depends upon himself,
knows how to do right without being
told.
Persons initiate each other because
they are not on good terms with them
selves.
The burden of disappointment is the
Necessary preparation before success can
be borne.
No man will ever receive any knowl-
edge more convincing than the fact that
he is born.
The successful man is always the best
informed in regard to the means by
which he succeeded
TEo act from a sense of duty will pro-
duce greater happiness than to yield to
the promptings of desire.

FIVE PERSONS BURNED.
Sad Fate of a Clergyman ana -Four OF
His Family.

The pretty little house of the Rev T G.
Clarke pastor of the London Bridge Baptist
Church, about two and half miles from
Tunis Station, Va, on the Virginia Beach
Railroad was entirely destroyed by fire. and
the clergyman, two of his daughters, his son
and niece, who was visiting him, were
burned alive. Shortly after midnight the Oc-
cupants Of the house were awakened by in
haling thick, black smoke which was
in every room. The sleepers were out
of their beds in a moment after. The
Rev. Mr.. Clarke was the first one to
be aroused, and at once gave the alarm.
He succeeded in getting his wife, two of his
children and Miss Ella Bidgood, governess,
to places of safety by lowering them from
the window. He then started to the rescue
of the other inmates. The fire cut off his
retreat and all persisted. The younger
victims were Mariana Clarke, Bessie Clarke,
Frederick Clarke and Miss Pullen.
The fire is thought to have been of incen~
diary origin. Mr.. Clarke was preacher of
great ability.

O'BRIEN'S BLAST.
The Irish Editor Speaks Plainly Be
fore the ParneH Commission.


Ex-Premier Gladstone appeared at a session
of the Parnen Commission while Editor
O'Brien, of United Ireland, was being cross
examined
Mr.. O'Brien admitted writing and printing
in his paper that Queen Victoria was only
known to Ireland by her scarcely decently
disguised hatred of Ireland and by her inor-
dinate salary; also, that Earl Spencer would
be the last strong EngliShman who would ''at-
tempt to rule Ireland by means of barbarism,
paid perjury, butchery and the use of the
sacred rope"
He also admitted writing that the Chair
man of the Committee on Reception to the
Prince Of Wales, on the occasion of the lat
ter's visit to Ireland some years ago, would
be hunted from public life
Mr.. O'Brien here eXcitedly exclaimed:
che has been driven from public life, and
rather than allow Englishmen to be deceived
by show of sham loyalty, I resolved to tell
them the truth. l never personally spoke dis
respectfully or Extensively of the Prince of
Wales. If it is clear that England will not
satisfy Irelands aspirations, and if there is
any rational chance Of success, an attempt
should be made on the part of the Irish to re-
bel"
The London papers, the witness declared
were more responsible for the use of dyna-
mite than the efforts of Messrs. Finnerty and
Patrick Ford But for the views the Lon
don journals had expressed it would have
been impossible to collect $1,000 in America
for dynamite
The witness stated that he wrote an article
in which he said that Allen, Larkin and
OBrien, the hanged for killing the
policemen in the Manchester riots were hon
ored by their Chicago kindred.
The statement was greeted with rousing
cheers from the spectators present Presiding
Justice Hammer thereupon threatened to clear
the courtroom If such a demonstration was
repeated Hereminded Mr.. O'Brien that the
Court regarded the Manchester shooting as
murder, and the men were hanged for the
crime as murderers.
The Acknowledgement then declared that
he had finished the cross-examinatiOn of the
witness, and Mr.. O'Brien was allowed to
leave the stand.
