ne showed His skiII 60 Amuse AN
African King.

One would think il odd, to say the
least, If, on visiting the court of civ.
ilized country, he we're called to show
his proficiency in swimming as a
method proving his desirability as a
guest; yet such was the experience Of
a missionary in Africa, who tells his
own story in 1.-TWO Kings of Uganda. "
Swimming is a very rare accomplish
ment in Buganda. One day, when |
had obtained an audience with King
Mwanga, he asked me eagerly, "Can
you swim?"
Yes," I replied, "a little"
Will you swim in my pond ?" he
continued.
l should be most happy"
" When will You do it?"
=" Whenever you wish"
!" Will YOU come now?" he asked
with great interest.
/" Is it not too late ?"
All, you will not come now 30 he
repeated, in disappointed tone.
" Yes, now, If YOU like" said.
So up got the King, stepped from
his throne, took me by the hand and
led me out, followed by a crowd Of
pages, and we made our way TO the
pond. Ii was rather muddy, but
took off my clothes and, plunging into
the water, swan about to the Kings
great delight and satisfaction. He had
evidently doubted my proficiency in SO
great an art, and when he found was
no deceiver, his respect for me was
unbounded.

sho Can Dress Quickly.

The costume and ornaments OF the
women do not differ greatly from those
Of the men. Invariably, however, or
almost invariably, they wear small
apron or what is considered equivalent,
in bunch Of green leaves, says a
writer in Scribner's, speaking OF the
Nile women. This apron may be
made OF strip OF cotton or OF strings
twisted from the bark Of trees or spun
from wood. Sometimes iron beads
made by native smiths are woven in
with the bast on woolen strings.
Among various tribes it is the custom
for married women to wear a tail.
This is made OF loose strings, perhaps
two feet long, thinner and shorter
than horses tail, but still quite a
substantial brush. There is no article
Of dress or ornament 80 grotesque and
perpetually amusing as this appendage.
II seems TO grow naturally from the
persons and when the wearer is in
lively motion her Haunting tail is most
expressive. This custom explains at
once the ancient legends OF people
with tails, which are still current all
over Africa.

Decline OF the Dress snit.

1t seems to be fact, says the New
York Sun, that the really fashionable
men OF New York do not assume
evening dress every night. When
they go to the opera they put on the
unconventional toggery OF the street,
and as a rule, it is the cheap swells
and the men that pose who are to be
seen in elawhammer coats regularly

Disastrous Collision Between Passenger

PITsBURG, Pa, Dec. 1.-The day ex-

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. A shock
ing accident occurred at $50 o'clock
this morning at the Hazel Street cross

The labor train which conveys work
men from this city to the company's
shops at Ashley was due at the Hazel

assembled waiting for it. A number of
them walked up the track short dis
lance to meet the train and secure good
seats in the coaches. Suddenly fast
freight from the south approached at q
high speed. The men jumped from
the north-bound track to the south
bound, when the labor train, rushing
around sharp curve, plunged into
their midst. In their scrambling many
were thrown down or against the two

ROUTED BY THE FLAMES.
Two Hundred People Driven from
Burning Hotel.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 5.-The big Mo-
nongahela Hotel. the largest in the
city, once the finest In the West, was
destroyed by fire this forenoon. Two
hundred guests and the two score en-
ployes were driven from the building
by the flames, nearly all losing their
personal effects. While there was no
panic the widest excitement prevailed,
and there were innumerable exciting
scenes and incidents.
The fire started at II 40 o'clock this
morning and was discovered by Thomas
O'Brien, the head porter. 1t started at
the foot of the freight elevator and the
shaft acting as fue, the flames quick
ly shot to the upper stories, giving the
guests but few minutes to get out. In
ten minutes the three upper stories of
the main building were on fire, the
flames bursting from the windows on
the sides of the three streets. From
the main building the fire extended to
the annex, used as servants quarters in
the rear, and it became evident that
nothing could save the block.
At 1:30 o'clock, less than two hours
after the fire was discovered, nothing
remained of the magnificent structure
but the four blackened walls. AS far as
known there we're no fatalities. Among
the miraculous escapes were those of
ID. @. Mason, of New York, and n. I'm
derwood, of Milwaukee. Mason was
compelled to come down from the
fourth floor on rope made of bed tick
ing and Underwood had his lace
scorched and beard singed.
The building destroyed covered an
entire block and was seven stories in
height. 1t was owned by Charles j.
Clarke, Florence G. Miller and the
Crossan heirs, and was valued by them,
with the lot, at 100000. The actual
loss will be less than 100000, as the
insurance is Sl97 $40, of which $3.50, 600
Is on the building and $37 $40 on the
stock. A peculiar feature OF the fire
was that all the papers were drawn for
the sale and transfer of the building at
8 O'Clock this afternoon, the price being
$475 900.
The building was bounded by Smith
field and Water Streets and First Ave
nue.. 1t was erected after the great fire
of l845, and was one of the largest and
most imposing blocks in the city. The
hotel was known by all travellers, and
was mentioned by Dickens in lis
American Notes" as the model hotel of
the West

AS soon as J. A. Ridgeway, the Jail

TUCSON. Ariz., Dec. 3.-Surveyor-Gen-
eral Johnson has transmitted to the
commissioner of the general land Office
an adverse report upon the Peralta
grant, claimed by James Addison Re-
vais, containing 100000 acres of
public lands including the cities of
Phoenix, Florence, Solomonville, etc.
The tract is conservatively valued at
$25,000,O00. 1t was alleged that this
grant WAS recommended by Fernando
VI. of Spain III l748, and issued to
Miguel Peralta by the viceroy of New
Spain in 1853. Revais first claimed the
title. Later ne set up q title
in his wife as the lineal heir
Of Peralta. The surveyor-genera holds
there is proof OF forgery and fraudulent
insertion of papers in the archives, and
fabrication of documents. The survey
or-general recommends that the claim
be not allowed and urges vigorous pros
ecution of the parties guilty of iabricat-
ing this fraudulent claim.

DEATH In A HOTEL FIRE.

Two Men Burned to Death at East Tawas,
Mich.
EAST TAwAs, Mich, Dec. 5.-The
Minor House took fire this morning
from a defective chimney. Prompt
work on the part of the fremen saved
the west portion of the hotel, but
the rest of it was destroyed. Two
charred bodies were found in the
ruins and it is supposed that
one is that of Ed. Roney, the clerk, but
it is not known whose body the other is.
Five men were also hurt in fighting
the flames. The house itself was one of
the oldest in town and not very valua-
Bile. There was some insurance on the
property. 1t took hard work to save
the adjacent nronorty.
