A RACE OF DWARFS.
Remarkable Specimen of Il Liliputian
Tribe in Central America.

Aspecimcn of a living race of dwarfs
who dwell in the mountainous district
in Guatemala, Central America, has
been brought to New York, not for ex-
hibition but as an chronological curl
osity tor scientific men to examine.
The dwarf, says the San, is 3 feet 81
inches in height, by actual measure
ment, but a remarkable looking speci-
men Of humanity he was. His head
measured 254 inches in circumference
and an American hat, size 81, could be
barely forced upon his head.
A thick mass of long, straight black
hair covered his head in a thick shock
and hung down almost to his neck.
His skin was of a deep copper color
and his features fiat, like those of the
negro race. But he had not the ex-
preston of a negro, nor the color. He
was undoubtedly of Indian extrac-
ton. But such an enormous though
not lily proportional head, set upon so
diminutiye a body, made a strange
contrast, and his little arms, short
legs, and body, added further to his
peculiar looks. The Indian, or what
ever he may be called, is a powerfully
built man, when his size is taken into
consideration, in fact, is a yeritable
little Hercules.
His feet are five inches in length
from heel to toe and his fingers meas
ure from two inches to two and a half
inches in length. His greatest pecu-
~liarity, however, is in his face. His
eyes are so widely separated as, to
leave room for the eyebrows to grow
down OH each side of the bridge Of
his nose and still leave a space be-
tween them and the corners of his
eyes. He is AZ years of age and is a
priest in his tribe.
In speaking Of the strange dwarf

WORSE THAN HOSTILES.

OELRIcHs' S. D., Jan. IA freighters
strike is on at this point, This being the
supply station for the troops now in
the field. While the government had
charge OF its transfer, teamsters were
paid SIS per day But Thursday last
two contractors appeared on the scene
and reduced the compensation SO that
the teamsters would not be able to
make more than 50 per day and a well
organized strike is on. Fourteen car
loads OF supplies are now on the side
track, and it is evident that the three
camps of troops which are stationed
thirty miles distant must be running
short OF supplies. se%venty-five team
sters are engaged in the strike and not
a wheel has been turned since Monday
last.-World Herald.
Rapid teamsters, and nearly all were
needy farmers, went through the same
experience. But little # any freight was
moved at the reduced rates offered by
contractors. The removal OF the base
of supplies from here to Oelrich solved
the problem.

gaining secured the man he now has
with him. He says the only other
representative of the race. ever seen by
white men was u brother of the man
he now has. who was broughtto New
York many years ago, but who died
soon after binding here. Senior Arte-
aga's description of the mode of life of
these little people is very interesting.
They are scmi-civilized and all speak
Spanish, which is the language Of the
country.
FROM the time of Hcrodotus a race
of dwarfs has been said to exist. and
this seems now to be proved. Only a
few years ago Du Chaillu, the African
explorer, found a similar race in Cen
trail Africa, and within the last week a
race of ~cliif-dwellcrs has been discov-
cred in Arizona. They are also
dwarfs. Senior Arteaga's discovery
adds to the proof that races of small
people do exist, and he has a living
proof of it at his house.
