AN AMERICAN EXPLORER.
The History of the Brave Traveller
John Ledyard.

New York Star.
The story of the American, John
Ledyard, has many features in common,
with Mungo Park. He was born ex-
plorer; pioneer by instinct and tenn
permanent. Hardship and peril were the
great stimulantS of his existence. He
confessed On one occasion that his dis
treSses had been CT eater than he had
ever owned or ever would acknowledge
to any one, but that they had never had
power to turn him from his purpose.
Having suffered uneXampled trials in
his American explorations, he came to
England, and, at the instance of Sir
Joseph Banks, undertook a journey on
behalf of the Association for Discover
ing the Inland Countries of Africa.
"When will you be ready to start?'
asked one of the societY's officials,
pointing out on chart the route that
it was desired the explorer should fol-
low, Tomorrow morning." was Led
Yards memorable reply, an answer
which may almost be regarded as typical
of the exploring instinct.
Completing trio of renowned African
travellers, the record OF Bruce is yet
further instance of the deep-seated
passion of the born advonturer. AS a
youth he stuaied law, and subsequently
entered into partnership with wine
merchant, but losing his wife few
months after marriage, he at once graft
fed his rowing tastes by beginning
journey through Spain, Portugal.
France and the Netherlands. On the
occasion of an interview with Lord
Halifax, when the discovery of the
sources of the Nile formed the subject
of conversation, Bruce himself says:
s'My heart in that instant did me the
justice to suggest that this was either
to be done by me or to remain as it had
done for the last 1900 years, defiance
to all travellers and an opprobrium to
geography" But it has been truly said
that Bruce's achievements were not
so remarkable as the display of the
qualities which alone could have rem
bered them possible.
This estimate is suggestive of Mr..
Stanley, that it is interesting to know
that he also in youth showed much of
the stuff of which explorers are made.
When only six years old he eyinced quite
a passion for geography and books of
travel, and at that age was described
by his teacherasa "child of indomitable
will that really knew ONO impeachment
to it's purpose. His youthful struggles,
the character of his reading, and his
bold, infleXible nature eminently fitted
him fol life of adventure"

New YORK. July 1S.-The trunk line

morning and decided to ask Albert
Fink, formerly commissioner of the
trunk lines, to act as arbitrator for the
adjustment of first and second class
passenger traffic divisions. Mr.. Fink is

act in the capacity desired of him. I'M
migration troubles were also consid-
cred. The Lackawanna and the New
York, Ontario & Western railroads are
charged with violating trunk line rules
in selling tickets to immigrants not
through the barge Office, but through
outside agencies in the First ward. In
stead OF regular immigrant tickets
second class tickets have thus been
sold. it is alleged, to immigrants, and
the business of other roads has been
deeply cut into.

LONDON TeIegrapn.
An individual living in the Depart
ment of the Aveyron, struck by the
high price at which mushrooms were
bein sold in his district, conceived the
idea of fabricating the delicacy out OF
turnips. He cut the turnips into rounds,
dried them. and after giving them
them to unsupecting customers as the
genuine article. For some time he drove
a thriving trade, but unluickily for him
one day sold batch to gourmet, who
was not so easily to be taken in.
Indignant at the trick played on him,
the gourmet brought an action, which
has Just resulted in the contemplation
of the mushroom manufacturer to two

Raid on an Outdoor Poker Game.

Raid on an Outdoor Poker Game.
Mary's Landing, N. j., Special Philadelphia
Record,
Through the summers of years past
the fast youth OF this town have spent
the pleasant hours in the woods over
poker at ''fve-cent ante quarter limit"
During the ''Whlte-cap" scare of year
ago, notices were tackled up on trees
warning the poker players to cease the
practice at once. That stopped the
game for while, but it soon began
again.
While party of young men were in
the excitement of stiff Jackpot last
night they heard whoop, and instantly
there closed about them band of men
with white coverings on their heads.
There was lively scene for time,
and the white caps" secured solemn
promise that the practice would be
stopped at once.
