Tail Of . SaurIan.
David Marlborough owns an orange
grove and an alligator farm on the st.
Johns river, in Florida, where he spends
his winters. When Marlborough bought
this place, fivo years ago, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat he issued orders
to his tenants that no one should be
allowed to shoot alligators on tho river
at that point. He wanted them to grow
and multiply until there were enough
of them to furnish exciting sport. Not
an alligator was killed on the place
until last winter, when Marlborough
took party Of friends down to the farm
for a months fishing and hunting. All
along the river which bounded one side
Of the farm alligators were found in
abundance, and shooting Thorn was the
favorite sport of the party.
One day Marlborough and his friends
were out on the river in a small boat to
try their luck fishing. They were very
successful, and about shutdown started
home. AS they approached the boat
landing huge gator was seen lying on
the bank. Three shots were fred at
him, bnt none Of them reached vital
spot, and tho alligator made dash for
the water, going straight toward the
boat. Tho boat was within ten feet of
tho bank and the water was shallow.
The big saurian, in his mad dash for
deep water, ran under the boat and over
turned it., All the occupants were
thrown out on the sido next tho bank
and scrambled ashore except Yarbor-
ough. He fell the other way and struck
"a fop rirrhf thn o;l ~ IL
gators long tail. Involuntarily no
grasped the tail of the saurian, and be-
fore he fully realized what no was hold
ing to was drawn out into deep water.
The gator did not go to the bottom,
but seemed to be making for the oppo-
site bank Of the river. Feeling some
thing on his tail he began to lash the
water into foam, throwing Marlborough
around like no had been piece of cork.
Realizing that he was now in deep
\ water, and being poor swimmer, Var
borough held on for dear life and shout
ed to his companions on the bank to come
to his rescue. He was thrown astride the
elligator's tail, and leaning forward
clutched 1t with both arms as drown
ing man would grasp at life-preserver.
The alligator Increased his exertions to
rid himself of the heavy incumbrance.
and about the middle of the river Var
borough was thrown off, and ut the same
time received heavy blow on the head
which almost knocked him senseless.
His friends on the bank had righted
the boat as quickly as possible and were
pulling to his rescue with all their
might. He managed to keep afloat UNI
til they reached him, when he was
dragged into the boat more frightened
than hurt. Next day Marlborough in
structed his tenants to allow any one to
shoot alligators who wanted to. He had

Hewling All Along the Line.

The drying>up of the water bitches
has destroyed the conduc,ivi,y of the
"9round' wires of most of the tele.
phones in HALEY. as they were con.
nec'ei with the bitches which, when
there is water in them, make the best
conductor available. Hence nearly
all the telephones in this city are
short circui.ed, just now, and of no
use wh.tev.r.
This has caused considerable annoy.
ance to the telephone users, and the
local manage. is endeavoring TO
remedy this condition of affairs bv
connecting the ground wire with the
water pipe or by come citing it with
moisture in some other way, rs with
out moisture the telephones are prac.
ticslly useless.

The Coming Girl.

: The coming girl will cook her own
food. will earn her own living. and
will not die an old maid. The com
ing girl will not wear the Grecian
bend, dance the german, ignore all
possibilities of knowing how to work :;
will not break the hearts of unsop his.
ticated young men, will spell cor.
rectly, under-tand English before she
affects French; will preside with
equal grace at the piano or washtub,
will spin more yarn for the house than
for the street, will not drspise her
plainly clad mother, her poor rela.
lions, or the hand of an honest
worker.
The coming girl will walk Eve miles
a day If need br, to keep her che eks
aglow; will mind her health, her
physical development, and her moth.
er; will adopt costume both s-nsibl4
and conducive to health; will not
c""found hypocrisy with poli,. ness;
will not place lyirg to please above
frankness.
The coming girl will not look to
Paris but to reason for her fashions;
will not aim to allow u foolish fashion
because milliners and dressmakers
decree it; will not torture her body,
shrive! her soul with puerilities, or
ruin it with wine and pleasure. IL
short, the coming girl will seek to
elorifv her Maker, and to enjoy men
tally His works. Duty will be her
ain, and life living reality.

A SCARE

Caused BY the Parting Of . Stoveplpe.
About o'clock this afternoon
smoke was seen issuing from the roof
OF the TIMES Office by rome gentIe>
men passing along the street. They
gave the alarm, and went to work
like good fellows, assisted by the
TIMES boys. 1t was difficult to locate
the "6re," as it seemed to be in the
lott over the composing room. But
the roof was wet thoroughly with tho
small hose kept in the office, the huge
FIRE in the large Office stove was extin
guished. aud candle procured and
lighted TO FIND THE FIRE!
1t was then ascerssined that tho
pipe 'ad parted, letting out che
spoke. This caused the impression
that there was q Gre. No damave
was done.
Foreman Harvey and the hose com.
pa"y boys reached the ground with
their cart, hooks, ladders and axes
within two minutes after tho fi:st
alarm, and would therefore undoubt-
edIy soon have exti'guished the
flames, if there had been any.
The pipe which did the mischief
will be riveted before another Ere 10
made in the stove.

From the blood>marks up the track

The financial Outlook.
leeripg and Mining Journal.l

y. I. G1efneeIdoe ana Mining JoufnAl.l
The week just closing has seen The
elimination, almost q panic, Of a
enancial condition which has been
steadily coming on for several
months. During the past twelve
months, the U. S. Treasury has, more
'han once, been appealed to to put in
circulation oil available funds in ornes
to prevent financial disaster, and it
has in fact expended IN the purchase
of y. S. bonds and Otherwise oil that
the Secretary OF the Treasury could
Ieei'imst-ly so exprnd, until now the
Treasury Of the United States IL prsc.
tically empty. Nevertheless, the e.
na"cisl stringency has creased, until
during this week it has eliminated in
q panic that has carried down several
important houses.
London is the source Of thu present
trouble. owing to the wild speculation
and investment there in unstable S.
cur;ties aud wild adventures in nearly
every country on the globe. South
America has been especially "boomed"
liz London AMI has secured there very
large amounts of money, and South
African mining schemes have also
absorbed Immense sums, ard With
correspc"di"gly hetter results than Is
usual with English investments in the
United States, thoaxh on thu whole
made with more care than Investments
here, have looked up considerable
amounts in property that is unpro>
ductive ut pres mt and some Of which
is worthless. Even London, with ito
almost unlimited financial resources,
could not stand this drain, and to ful.
fill obligations incurred had to sell out
American securities which were
bought at figures far above those that
investors here would give. Conse.
qurntly their sale here precipi,ated
the decline and final collapse of stocks
during the week.
This accounts in a measure for tho
stringency in money here; but in addi.
ton to this there have been investment
SPOONS" ia real estate in many State.
in tie Union and a very active husi.
ness here. Since the middle of 1887,
and during this period, large amounts
have gone into increasing producing
facilities; much Of this investment
has not yet become productive.
While the financial embarrassment
in the market is ut present u"ques
tionahly severe, there is absolutely
nothing in the industrial condition Of
the country to create alarm Or to
justify financial crisis such as came
in 1894. Values are not in general
abnorcal)y high, nor have investments
except in cases of 'town lot booms"
been sunk. The money in circula.
ton, and though not available to pay
tor all the securities that might sud.
denly be dumped on us from Europe,
it Ia in investments here that will not
suffer much. The business of the
country is extremely prosperous as a
whole. and the Indications are that it
will 30 continue for some time to
come.
The threatened or promised inAs.
ton which was to come from the
lavish expenditures of the govern.
ment in pensions, in silver, and in
Other ways, has not materialized to
any great extent. and the present set.
back will probably chill it very SER
iously.

Company + Ordered to Hold Itself
Ready 10 March.


Captain Figgins received a CON.
municntion from Boise. last Saturday,
ordering him to get his company
ready to take the field at u nome nt's
notice.
This is done on account of the
threatening attitude of the Indians in
the Dakotas and elsewhere.
As Company F is militia organi-
za'ion 1t cannot be ordered out be-
you'd the boundaries Of the State of
Idaho; but even within that restri. ted
territory there is abundant opportunity
for rough service. Ii the Bannocks,
Shoshones and Nee Psrces were to
take to the warpath aud be able to
join forces before the militia could
cake the Geld, the red devils, while they
could not go over one.half the extent
Of country which they travelled during
the Bannock war, could nevertheless
lead our militiamen . merry chase
through and over the almost impas.
sable mountain ranges.
1t is evidently with the intention of
preventing the Indians from getting u
start that Governor Shoup, who is an
old Indian fighter and up to the tricks
of the willy red man, has ordered the
militia in readiness to march.

NASHVILLE lmericni: The action OF
Governor Nichols, Of Louisiana, in re-
fusing the offer Of 100000 by the Lou
isiana Lottery Company 10 protect the
neople from the threatened food can not
be 100 highly commended. The refusal
under The circumstances, which made
the offer a peculiarly tempting one, was
a brave and manly thing 10 do; and the
refusal was couched in terms which,
while respectful, made very plain the
Governors opinion as to the real motive
which prompted the offer. There was
not a word Of thanks nor Of courteous
rerret. nor Of appreciation FOR The gener-
ositv manifested. The gratuity was de-
clined and the reasons plainly given.
The Louisiana Lottery Company sought
70 take advantage OF the situation to
place the State under obligations which
would be useful in securing an extension
of the companys charter. Governor
Nichols left it 100000 better off, but the
lottery people probably do not love him
any the better for it.
