An African Statesman.

The new premier of Cape Colony, Cecil
Rhodes, is attracting marked attention
in England, where he is on business
visit. His career in South Africa, which
has been one of the most romantic and
adventurous, has placed him in the fore
most ranks of Anglo-African notability.
Within a few years he has achieved the
reputation of, a statesman; the title of
"The Diamond King" and is generally
accepted as the leader of men in Africa.
He is one of those who believe in settling
the Mashonaland troubles with the ma
tives in peaceful manner, and if the
latter are not disposed that way to use
force, and he talks like man who would
be abundantly able to bring about an
arrangement either way. In appearance
he is much older than he really is, and
physically seems the embodiment of quiet
force. He is not prone to conversation,
but when so engaged is always inter-
esting, from the fact that he never talks
but on subjects with which he is thor
oughly familiar. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

a Church of Oranges.

The Palermo (Mon.) Fruit Growers
association, which recently affiliated
with the California State Board of
Trade, sent to San Francisco large
model of the Union church, which is To-
Gated at Palermo colony in Butte. The
model has been erected in the board of
trade rooms, and is now on exhibition.
The miniature church is an exact model
in every detail of the original, and just
one-seventh its size. 1t is 10 feet in
length, 81 feet wide and III feet in
height. The roof, gables and bell tower
are covered with oranges, some thou
sands of which are used, while in the
windows and around the pedestals are
arranged exhibits of nuts, dried and
fresh fruits and other products of the
colony. AS the oranges used in decorat-
ing the church wither they will be taken
away and fresh fruit substituted until
the orange season is over, when other
fruits, dried and fresh, will be used for
decorating, making it standing unique
advertisement of the resources of Paler-
mo.-Omaha Bee.

A Rows Odd Misfortune.

The curious formation on the body of
the little three-year-old boy of John
Rock, of Rice's landing, of which so
much has been said, caused the death of
the child at last. In August last the boy
was playing in the yard, when he fell
down. He cried a good deal and seemed
to suffer. Little attention was paid to
it, however, until few days later a
strange lump was discovered on his ab-
domen. It grew to an enormous size
and physicians declared an operation
meant death.
The boy would eat scarcely anything,
though he almost constantly asked for
food. When not watched he would eat
ashes and other hard substances. On
Wednesday he asked his mother for q
piece of cake, and three minutes after he
was dead. When the growth was re-
moved it weighed seven and a half
pounds, and it was found it had COM
pletely surrounded the kidneys and
grown fast to the body. Its size caused
it to interfere with the action of the
heart, causing death. The lump is said
to be puzzle to physicians, who say it
resembles no humorous growth they ever
encountered. County Demo-

Went Cunning in Full Dress.

At II o'clock ON Monday night party
of ten gentlemen, who had been spend
ing the evening pleasantly at an informal
ball at the Jekyl Island club house, con-
cluded they would have "pig hunt" be-
fore retiring. Without taking time to
change the dress suits in which they were
attired, they slung their rifles across
their shoulders and set out into the
jungles of Jekyl in quest of wild hogs.
The agreement before starting was that
every rifle should be fired at the first pig
that broke cover They had not pro-
ceeded very far before one of the gentle
men had the misfortune to trip and fall
heavily through bunch of palmettoes
and into pool of water about foot
and half deep.
Sixteen shots were fired in quick sue
cession from the rifles of the other mem
bers in the direction of the noise, each
one thinking pig had been started
During the fusillade the unlucky sports
man was afraid to put even his nose
above water, and when, after the firing
had ceased, the hunters rushed to the
spot to find their game they discovered,
instead of a wild hog, their half drowned
companion. The boys shouldered the
game and carried it back to the club
house, fully persuaded that midnight,
dress suits and pig hunting didn't go very
well together. (Ga.) Times.

A Flash from an Electric Car.

Richard Ell. Earle, the insurance agent
who lives in Worthington street, had a
peculiar and rather startling experience
with electricity early one evening re-
Gently through the medium of the cleo
trio cars. He was crossing Main street
just below State street, where the Forest
park line ends, and happened to pass the
rear of an electric car just as it started
on it's southwark trip. He went very
close to the car, perhaps within foot,
he thinks, and as he went by there came
from beneath the car flash as Of light
ming, which seemed to start from the
wheels and strike him on the left side
under the arm. No harm seemed to
have been done, and Mr.. Earle contin-
ued on his way
Just as he turned down Howard street
to go to the house Of an acquaintance,
Carl Wunsch, he felt pain in his side
as if he was being roughly rubbed.
When he reached Mr.. Wunsch's house
the latter exclaimed that something was
burning, and on Mr.. Earle's unbutton-
ing his overcoat smoke and flame came
out, and it took lively work on the part
of Mr. and Mrs. Wunsch and Mr.. Earle
to save the clothing. On examination it
was found that the overcoat and under
coat had been burned through from the
outside, and also the vest as far as the.
lining. The hole in the overcoat is two
or three inches wide and four OF five
inches long. A leather book in the un-
dercoat containing some papers was bad
ly burned on the lower end and the pa
pers therein were scorched.
Mr.. Earle thinks there is no doubt that
the mischief was caused by the spark
from the electric car, and no other solu-
tion of the matter seems possible, since
Mr.. Earle does not smoke, and the burns
in the clothing ere not of the sort to be
started from such source. The street
railway tracks were very wet that night,
and this of itself would tend to dissipate
the electric fluid as it entered the rails
Taken altogether, Mr.. Earle's experience
was certainly singular one.-Spring-
field Republican.

starlings Eaten by Roolrs.

A singular instance of starlings being
eaten by rocks is reported from Dorset
shire. During the recent severe weather
flock of starlings was observed on a
farm at West Stafford, near Dorchester,
being hotly pursued by number of
rocks. The larger birds quickly over
took their prey and quickly dispatched
them, and stripping them of their feath-
ers greedily devoured them on the spot,
having presumably been driven to this
from their starving condition. On an
inspection of the place just after not a
vestige of the starlings could be found
beyond the feathers, with which the
ground was strewn. Similar occur
rences are reported from several other
places. s.-London Graphic.

A Drop OF Christ's Blood.

Last year Weingarten "a town of the Ger
man kingdom, Wurtemburg, celebrated
the eight hundredth anniversary of the
possession Of a drop of Christ's blood.
Eight hundred years ago the precious
relic was presented to the Benedictine alb
bey of that place by the Duchess Judith,
daughter of Duke Baldwin, of Flanders.
Through this long period of time the YES
sci containing the blood has been kept in
the church connected with the monas-
terry, excepting war times, when it had
to be hid at more safe places. Though the
Benedictine monks were expelled long
ago and the monastery converted at the
first into an orphan asylum, then into
military barracks, the church with its
valuable treasure was left untouched.
Today the blood may be seen as fresh
and uninjured as that of living man.
Each year, on the Friday after the
Feast of the Ascension, it is carried
around in solemn procession. The priest
who carries the vessel rides on horseback,
followed by more than Thousand like
wise, on horseback, not counting the
crowds that follow the procession on foot.
In the year 1773 there were employed
7,055 horses. For this occasion pilgrims
came from all the neighboring countries.
Never, however, was there such splendor
exhibited as last year, the eight hun
dredth anniversary. The procession
lasted two hours. All those on horse
back were dressed according to the fash
ion of the Eleventh and Twelfth cent
uries. The evening before the town was
beautifully illuminated. Exchange.

Time for Early Garden Work.


Tree and vine pruning should be COM
pleted before growth commences. Peas
for an early crop need to be got in as
early as the ground can be worked. The
wrinl1led, or sugar peas, should be held
until the ground warns a little. Those
intending to raise onions by the new
plan of starting the seeds in cold frames
should have everything in readiness and
get the seed in early, and have the young
plants in readiness to set out as soon as
the ground can be put in good order.
The advantages claimed by this method
are full rows, a longer season of growth
and less expense in cultivating and keep
ing clean, the expense saved in the last
item making up for the extra cost of
transplanting. A much greater yield is
claimed for the method. But no time is
to be lost in preparing the soil for onion
seed to be sowed in the rows where the
crop is to grow. The preparation and
sowing cannot be done too soon. The
seeds of lettuce and early cabbage,
caulifower, celery, tomatoes and radish
will need sowing at intervals as required,
and the hotbeds and the forcing pits
will command daily care.
Seeds of biennial and Parental flower
ing plants can be put in at once. Sweet
peas in the open ground should be plant
ed at the earliest opportunity; they
should make their best growth in the
cooler weather of the spring.
Lawns can be seeded to grass as soon
as the ground can be properly put in
order.
All kinds of work that can be done in
the garden should be pushed along and
be out Of the way when the hurrying
time comes later, as it surely will

We give to-day the reply of
Govornur Nichols to the tele-
gram Of Secretary Blaine in ref
crence to the lynching of the elev-
cn men, some of whom were Am
eaican citizens, and the others
subjects of Italy, who were en-
gugcd principally IN making liv-
ing ut New Orleans and violating
the laws of the country that affor-
ded them support and refuge af-
ter their enforced departure from
the land Of their birth.
Governor Nichols treats the
subject quietly and d,gnitiedIy.
without bombast or cringing, and
while presenting nothing more or
less than a PLAN, unvarnished and
candid statement of the facts init
mates to the honorable secretary
that all the wise counsel profcrcd
in his telegram had been acted
upon before the telegram came to
hand; that there did not then aud
had not existed hi any time any
danger to Italians or other for
eigncrs or account of nationality
but to individuals who were i'm
plicated in a crime that awakened
the Vengeance of the people, and
that the retribution was swift,
followed by instantaneous peace
and quiet.
The Governor opportunely calls
the attention of the Secretary to
the fact that the courts are the
proper tribunal to which any and
all infractions of law are to be re-
fcrred, and informs him that the
proper steps had already been tn
ken before his luminous commu-
cation came to hand. That's alb
out the trend of Gcv. Nichols
very courteous note to Mr.. Blaine,
and it is to be hoped that it will
have the effect of causing "Jin-
go" Jim to contemplate seriously
the possible consequences of the
confession of judgement he was
scared enough or weak enough to
make to Italy without awaiting
the truth in the case.
