EXPLORER WlSSMANN,
Many Consider His Achievements Secon<
Only to Stanley's.

Many Consider His Achievements Second
Only to Stanley's.
Reichskommissar Herman Wissmann
was born in 1858 at Frankfurt-on-the.
Oder. From his earliest youth lie had
great desire to travel, and devoured all
the books he could find about foreign
countries. In 1878 he entered the Ger
man army, but the life of a soldier did
not satisfy him, and he still dreamed of
travels. A few years later he met DR..
Pogge, and, having heard from that
celebrated explorer about the lands that
remained to be explored in Central
Africa, he offered his services to the
Afrikanische Gesellschaft in Berlin,
which was then organizing an expedition
to Central Africa. He was promised the
post OF geographer to the expedition if
he could get leave of absence from his
military duties; and, this having been
granted he set out with DR.. Pogge for
Africa in 1880. He returned to Ger
many in 1888, and was welcomed as the
first German who had ever crossed the
Dark Continent
Towards the close of the same year he
was chosen to lead an expedition at the
expense OF the King of the Belgians, the
object of which was to discover the
basin OF the river Congo. He returned
to Africa, and there on the way between
Dondo and Malange, met his old friend
DIR. Pogge, who had suffered untold
hardships in the interior, and who was
reduced to mere skeleton. DR.. Pogge
died In Pauio de Loanda in 1884, to the
great grief of Captain Wissmann. The
two men loved one another like brothers,
and had the same interests After DR..
Pogge's death, Captain Wissmann led
the expedition to the Congo and dis
covered the basin of the river. But he
broke down in health, and was Obliged
to go to Madeira, where he spent two
months in idleness.
In 1887 he returned to Germany, and
In the following year he was made Com
mander OF the Southampton, or rather
ne received commands to organize an
army OF black soldiers, in order to drive
the Arabs away from the German colo
MES on the east coast of Africa. He ar.
rived in Zanzibar in March, 1889, with
staff OF fifty Germans, and from that time
till May, 1890, he has been engaged in
quietlng the coast and in carrying fear
into the hearts of Arab leaders. Before
his arrival the Arabs said that the Ger
mans were "wadogo dogo." namely, of
no Importance; but now they seem to
think differently.
On the fifth OF last December. it will
be remembered, Major Wissmann re.
ceived Stanley and Emin Pasha at Bag.
amayo, and it was at the dinner which
he gave in their honor that Emin Pasha
fell out of the window.
Inc Germans are very proud of Major
Wlssmann, and think him only second to
Stanley. He has been made Major and
kelchskommissar by the Kaiser, and
further honors are said to be in sto,
ior him. But his health is shattered,
ana 1t will probably be some time be-
lore he can return to Africa.-Pall Mall

NEXT YEARS FASHIONS.

While the hot weather is still on us

in certain sense to lead public taste,
the manufacturers and the designers.
have already made their preparations
for the summer season of 1891. It is
still too early to predict what will be
actually worn next summer and it is
much easier to name the STYLES and
fabrics which are more or less certain to
find little if any favor.
Flower des gins in jacquard styles
have no friends. Fine, soft, one-color
goods in India cachemire finish and one
color, striped, vgogne goods have all
the chances of being extensively worn
next year. Shaded str pes will fight for
a place and good place, too and
ombre styles will be met with in all va
rieties, on Indian cachemire grounds,
on vigogne and on soft cheviot Broad
shaded stripes in all possible combina-
tions in SIMPLE and com bined, straight
and crosswise and zigzag styles will be
seen.
Changeant styles have many admirers
who foresee their adoption. These
styles may do very we'll on silk and
half-silk goods. but the reproduction of
the same on wooden goods is beset with
80 many technical difficulties that their
commercial success on wool is out of
the question until some method of over
coming these difficulties has been
found.
Shaded styles have success assured.
Some of the latest samples show
shaded dots and bomb designs be-
tween fine stripes; shaded stripes
alternate with one color and shaded
pea designs in stripe. A lot of
very fine stripes or hair lines combine
into large stripe which is bordered on
both sides with fne-shaded cube de-
signs, the combination being very eff
fective.
Large plaids have met with scantv
favor this summer, although they had
been brought out in nice color ombina-
tons. This will prevent their being
sampled extensively for next year. On
the other hand, small squares in sub
dued quadrangles, which are cut by
lines that form larger squares, may find
deserved recognition English STYLES

A Dangerous Calling Pursued BY Men In

Not every day does one meet with
man who has been blown seventy-five
feet through the air and lived to tell of
1t, but such man is John McCleary,
who Ives in com Portable home in
Greenpoint with his wife and two chill
dren and drives custom house truck
down town for living. He was at
lsnch near by when one of the steam
heating explosions at the corner of
Broadway and Fulton street took place.
The atmosphere was conducive to ex-
plosive story telling, and McCleary told
of his experience to an interested group
and produced number of newspaper
clippings to verify the extraordinary oc-
currence. One of them was from the
Eldred (Pa.) Eagle, and it called Mo
Cleary the hero Of the nitro-glycerine
explosion at Haymaker, Pa, in 1880,
and said that every stitch of clothes
had been stripped from his body during
his flight of seventy-five feet through
the air.
McCleary explained that he was what

scribing his sensations he said: "When
