Origin of Grlngo.

Here "Gringo" is the name applied to the
English and citizens Of the United States Of
America alike-to eli who speak English or
look as If they could So, saying ''I'm a
Gringo" usually gives the impression that
one is an Englishman. This appellation is
said to have originated thus: Years ago a
song by Lover, entitled "Green Grow the
Rushes, Of" and in which these words were
prominent as part of the chorus, was popular
with the English sailors, who at that time
and at the present as well handle most of the
trade at Peru. "Green grow" was contracted
to Gringo and used to designate the English.
Anyway, we are known by no other name in
all the countries OF the west coast of South
America.-Peru Letter In Columbus Post.

Murdered His Trlepd In a ,ream.

A curious theory Of murder has prevailed
with the governor OF Kentucky in obtaining
the pardon of W. B. TomplSins, sentenced to
prison for life in 1897 for the murder of Sam.
uel Purdy. The two men were warm friends
and had roomed together for several years.
Cries were heard from their bedroom one
night, and Tompkins was found standing In
middle Of the room gasping for breath, while
Purdy lay murdered on the bed Tompkins
gasped; He's gone out the door," but the
door was closed and no trace Of any one was
discovered. In corner of the room was a
poker covered with blood and hair. Accord.

Assailant, who had broken away. Purdy's
money, $500, was untouched, and Tompkns

The man who wants to dress well and can
afford to pay good prices for his clothes has
always more trouble with his neckties and
his shirts than any other article of his ap.
parel. He pays his shoemaker 50 pair foy
his shoes, and that tradesman sees to it that
his customers feet are trinity and comfort
ably booted. He goes to the hatter's, pays
s. for the latest style hat, and walks away,
knowing that he has got the best thing OBJ
tainable. He strolls into the tailor's where
his measure is, selects a piece of cloth that
strikes his fancy, and thinks no more about
it until that suit is sent to him.
But the cravats and shirts, and even the
collars, are quite different thing. He usu-
ally spends as much money ON these things as
for all the rest, and he doesn't get half as
much satisfaction from his outlay.-St

The Cars Amusements.

The czar has five children, three sons and
two daughters. A favorite pastime of his
is to stand amidst the merry throng and chal-

succeed, either separately or united. The czar
has most wonderful strength of muscle. He
can bend horseshoe or strangle a bear by
mere force of hand. Once while in Denmark,
when conjuror was showing his skill, the
car offered to produce specimen of his own

How to Get Rid of Rats.

Rats will eat anything, from shortbread to
slippers, but so cunning are they that unless
aniseseed ssprinkled on the trap after setting
they smell the human hand and keep aloof.
The barrel remedy is worth trying. Fill a
barrel with chatf, leaving at the top some
choice morsel to tempt the rats appetite, and
an inviting stick leaning against the side. Do
this for three nights, and then on the fourth
night fill the barrel two-thirds with water
and one-third with chaff. The rats thrown
off their guard by previous immunity, will
mount the ladder gayly and meet their fate
in the treacherous ocean below-New York

CALIFORNIA BEAR RECORDS,
How DIR. Nelson Finished a Grizzly W
in Ell Dorado,

The brown and black bears are still
plentiful in our mountains, as any sheep
owner will testify, but the grizzly, the ter.
ror of the hunter, has disappeared, Prob
ably never to be seen here again. His
memory, however, still fingers in the sto-
ries of the early days, when our rivers and
canyons swarmed with hardy miners.
Many incidents, some terrible and some
laughable, are recounted by our old pio-
neers about the doings of ''Ephraim" IN
those stirring times. Even at the present
day good bear story crops up. One OF
these is worth relating. One of our
worthy Teutonic citizens, the hero of
many moving accident by flood and field,
owns. or did own, sawmill near lamar
ack siding on the Central Pacific Railroad.
A year or two ago some parties found
where bear made his home in a cave in
that locality, and a number Of men started
out one day to capture him. Among them
was the hero of this story. On arriving
at the spot recent marks gave unmistak-
able evidence that bruin was at home, and
council of war was held. Some proposed
smoking him out, others blowing him out
with dynamite, etc, but none expressed
desire to "beard the lion in his den." At
last our hero spoke up and said: "You vas
all a pack of tam cowartsi FL show
YOU how to get him from the cave oudt !"
Thereupon he took stout hunting hnife
and dashed it securely to the end of long
pole, and taking a torch of pitch pine in
one hand, with his improvised lance in
the other, boldly crawled into the hole.
Presently loud snort and growl was
heard by the onIookers, quickly followed
by the temperance OF our hero, safe in
wind and limb, but minus his lance and
torch and badly ratified. Said he: "Poys,

Emperor William and King Leopold Ex-
tend Elusive Greetings.
copyright, 1890, by New York Associated Press. I
BERLIN, August 2i-Before starting for
Ostend, on his way to England, yesterday
noon Emperor William held a council on
board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern,
attended by Chancellor Caprivi and Minis
tiers MIGUEL aud Marshael. The Hohen-
zoilern left Wilhemshaven at noon to con-
yey the Emperor to Ostend TO visit King
Leopold. The political character of the
meeting is undoubted.
The Hoherzollern entered Ostend har-
Dor at las to-day. Immense crowds, in
Guiding most of the German and English
visitors, lined the way. King Leopold,
accompanied by the Count of Flanders,
went on board the Hohenzollern and effu-
sive greetings were exchanged between the
King and Emperor William and Prince
Henry. The two monarchs then retired to
the saloon of the imperial yacht, where
they remained in conversation for half an
hour. Afterwards the Emperor went
ashore, and after inspecting the guard of
honor from the garrison, received the Bel.
gian Ministers and the staff of the German
legation.
Warnings reached the Berlin police that
the anarchists of Liegie, who are associated
with French socialists. meant to make
hostile demonstration, and if possible at
tack the person of the Kaiser. This in
formation caused extra precautions to be
taken.
Nothing marred the enthusiasm of well
come upon their arrival at the Summer
Palace Ostend was everywhere en- fete to-
night There were torchlight professions,
concerts, etc Official expectancy here will be
quite at fault if the interview does not end
in Belgium becoming a sleeping partner
in the triple alliance.
Family meetings will be held at Osborne
to determine whether Prince Waldener of
Denmark, or Prince Oscar of Sweden, shall
be placed upon the Bulgarian throne.
Emperor Wilhelm continues to favor
Prince Oscar as the better choice, on the
ground of his personal qualities. The
Gar, hitherto opposed to having brother
in-law ruler of Belgium, now assents. The
Greek royalties strongly object to Waldo
me-, King George fearing that the election
of his brother to the Belgium throne would
raise feeling of jealousy.
An order has been sent to the frontier
Customs post and railways to watch for
the threatened immigration of Jews from
Poland, as the new Russian regulations
will tend to drive from the country vast
bodies of artisans and poor farming Jews.
The Russian papers announce that trans
portation to Siberia will shortly be abol-
ished as judicial punishment, but omit to
mention the fact that it will be main
tanned. as now, without judicial sentence.
The latest notable instance is the case of
the celebrated novelist Uspiensky. He
was arrested at night and confined in
secluded prison, any knowledge of his
whereabouts being refused his friends for
