4 BOX MY sTERY.
Constable Hastedt's Levy on Queer
Property,

constable Hastedts Levy on queer
Property,
Constable Henry Hastedt made queer
capture yesterday at the Ocean Steamship
wliarves. He had an attachment for a lot
OF stuff supposed to have been taken to the
wharf for shipment north by David r )ber-
son, hunter and fisherman, who spends
his winters here and goes north in the
spring.
Constable Hastedt captured the nimrod5
sail boat, which was his home, and levied on
1t at the Market dock, At the steamship
wharves he found two strong wooden
chests One of them had been slowed in
the Nacoochee's hold and the other was on
the wharf. It was marked "By steamer
Nacoochee on deck, n. Y" The
consignee's name had been
on card above the address, but had been
cut off, it is supposed, by Robertson, who
had got wind of the attachment and wanted
to save his property.
The chest was taken to Justice Reynolds
office, from which the attachment was
issued, and there it was opened. When the
lid was lifted off the justice and his con-
stable gave start The box was heavy,
and they were at a loss as to what it con-
tanned.
A black hog, half dressed and filed with
ice, was tightly packed in the box. At the
first start the officers thought it was the
body Of man. and all sorts Of things
flashed through their heads; but they soon
saw what they had got, and the wonder
then was, what could the man he thinking
to pack hog for shipment that way. The
steamer would hardly have got to sea before
the meat would have spoiled. What was
be goi3g to do with it, was a question which
Robertson only can explain.

A Hundred Tons of Monev.

1t hardly seems possible that the money paid
in one month for 1O-cent article, could, il pen
MES were used in payment, weigh one hundred
tons. Yet one of our bright school boys has
figured that this is true Of Diamond Dyes.
Three new colors have lately been added to the
list Of Diamond Dyes: Fast Stocking Black,
Turkey Red for Cotton, and Brown Tor Cotton.
The manufacturers, Wells, Richardson q Co..
Burlington, VI, viii send colorel samples of
these new dyes, with book of directions 10 any
address, free of charge. These additions seem
20 have made the line so complete that any
shade can be matched with some color Of Da-
mond Dyes It's easy TO dye with Diamond
Dyes, y is so absolutely true that home dyeing
is no longer difficult and disagreeable task.
Almanacs, with their hints as 10 proper times
for different work, tell US that now Is the time
for Spring dyeing.

NICARAGUA CANALS MODEL.
What q Citizen of Savannah Has to
SAY About It.

There is quite a number Of people in this
city interested in the Nicaragua canal
scheme. 1t is understood that the canal
company, having secured a charter from
the government, proposes 10 push work on
the canal vigorously. The company has
had prepared a model Of the canal for the
Paris Exposition. II was on exhibition
this week at Washington. Quite large
number OF prominent persons connected
with the government, and Others were in
vited to take look at it last Monday. Mr..
Clavius Phillips ofsthis city wa, one of
those who were present.. Mr.. Phillips, who
has just returned from Washington, was
asked about the model yesterday.
He said that the President was present
and several of the members of the cabinet.
The President was accompanied by Sena-
tor Sherman, and appeared to be greatly
pleased with the model So was Secretary
Of State Blaine.
Mr.. Phillips was asked if the visit of the
President and members of the cabinet had
any particular significance.
He said that it had not. The company
wanted the members of the administration
to see the model because IL was we'll worth
seeing. 1t also wants the good will OF the
administration, because il there should be
any interference with American interests in
Nicaragua the government would be asked
to protect them, which, of course, it would.
Mr.. Phillips was asked to describe the
model.
He said it was a working model, and was
made by Mr.. E. E. Court, a civil engineer of
the photographic office. 1t took Mr.. Court
about four months to make it, and it cost
| about $4,000 lie said Washington paper
gave the following fair description of it:
1t is of plaster-of-paris, 30 feet long and
wide, and is built in sections, so that it can
be taken apart and boxed for shipment.
The model is a representation of the coun-
| try lying between the Atlantic and Pacific
| oceans, including Lake Nicaragua and the
| rivers that will be utilized in the construc-
| ton of the canal The 1iIls and mountains
| peer up over the mahogany rail that Dor
| ders the model, while the lake and rivers
| flow with real water in constant motion.
| Every mountain peak and hillside has
| system of sire ans and brooks, flowing into
larger ones, and forming the sources that
| go to fill the lake and furnish the water that
| is TO carry ships across the isthmus
| There are fully 800 Of these streamlets,
and the water supplying them comes
through minute pin holes in the surface of
| the plaster from complex system of water
works located underneath the model There
is as much plumbing involved as there is in
city square. Each pin hole requires a
| spigot, and lines of streams have to be
| strung on branches of ppes like the veins
| and arteries of the body. The pressure is
so regulated as to give just enough water
| to fill the river basins and to back up over
the low country at the dams, which form
the most striking feature of the plan.

ment The story OF Waples' alleged fraud

Il to travel; call from till g. 225 Washing
ton boulevard.
In response to the above a reporter
called at 225 Washington boulevard yester-
day afternoon. On arriving at a room on
the third floor babel of female voices was
the first thing to attract attention. An in

but that 10 hardly large enough"

average share of go d looks. With a few
words of regret the rejected applicants
passed from the room as another entered.

HUMAN BLOOD AS CEMENT.
How the Coal Miners Mend Their
Pipes Down in the Gloomy Depths.

HOW the coal Miners Mend Their
Pipes Down in the Gloomy Depths.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Next to his wife and babies the coal
miner loves his pipe" said former worker
in the anthracite mines, but now a we'll
known politician. HE loves it SO we'll that
he never hesitates to shed his blood to
save it. 1t is his one great comfort and
solace down in the gloomy depths, and if
he was as careful of himself as he is of his
pipe there would be less of fatality in the
mines.
''If by some hard luck his pipe is broken
for the miners pipe is in nine cases out of
ten clay one-he has way Of mending it
that no other smoker would resort to- He
takes the needle he carries for picking up
the wick Of his lamp and jabs it deep in his
hand or arm. The blood flows quickly
from the wound. The miner rubs the edges
of the fractured pipe on the blood until
they are coated with it and then fits them
together. The blood quickly dries and no
cement could give greater adhesion. Ihave
known miners pipe to be mended in half
a dozen different places with his blood
cement So why shouldn't the miner love
his pipe? Isn't he bound to it by peculiar
ties of consanguinity?"

POLICE STATION CLERKS,
They Want Increased Salaries and
Longer Leaves.

The clerks in the police stations who are
known as station keepers are looking forward
to Maj. Moore's annual report with more than
ordinary interest They are anxious to know
what their chief is going to recommend con-
corning their salaries during the coming year.
They now receive $50 per month and it is
thought the major will recommend an increase
of S15 per month, making their salaries $500
per annum. Last year such an increase was
recommended. but the Commissioners saw fit
station keepers that they perform more
clerical work than the average government
clerk. Then there are many responsibilities
resting on them that other clerks do rot have.
LOOKING FOR PROMOTION.
1t has been suggested that the station
keepers should be ranked next to the lieu
tenants or be placed on the same footing as the
sergeants, al often they are alone in the station
and there is a prisoner who wants to leave
collateral. He cannot do SO because there is
no one about who has authority to accept
collateral and thus prisoner is sometimes
forced to remain III the cell for an hour or two
after his friends come to his aid Ii the station
keeper was ranked as sergeant and given
authority to accept collateral this trouble
would be avoided.
THE QUESTION OF LEAVES OF ABSENCE
has also been mentioned. The station keepers
are clerks in the employ of the District gov
eminent, and as such they think they are en-
titled to thirty days leave, the same as other
clerks, but they only get ten days. the same as
the members of the police force. They are of
the opinion that they are more entitled to
thirty days than other clerks, because their
hours are longer and they are required to do
more work. Those on duty in the day time
serve ten hours per day, while the night men
are required to spend twelve hours in the sta
tioA.
