"The Land OF the Lamas," by William
Woodville Rockhlll, which appeared Sc
rally in the Century magazine, has come
out in book form and is receiving appre-
ciative notices from the press. There is
an air OF of cautious truthfulness about
Mr.. Rockhill's narrative that carries con-
viction of the accuracy of his statements
about the heart of Asia that he has been
the first to explore, but this very consci-
enscious exactitude Of his takes half the
charm from the story of his adventures.
He seems TO feel himself SO weighted
with facts that he can take time for
nothing SO trivial as fancy. The subject
Of his travels should have been one as full
of fascination as the arabian Nights"
but instead it is only about as interesting
as thoughtfully written text book. The
misfts Of life are nowhere more unfortu-
nate than when the explorer who has
the intrepidity to undertake and carry
through such an expedition is endowed
only with prosy fact-mongering faculty
of narrative.

The newspapers have fully made up
their minds that it is right and fitting
that the writer of the Uncle Remus
stories should be as old and hoary as the
darkey historian himself, and again the
news that Joel Chandler Harris is on the
wrong side of sixty is going the news
paper rounds. Listen to what an old
friend of Mr.. Harris has to say OF his
appearance: "Seen Harris? Why GER
tainly / have, many time. You've
been down South. Well, did you never
ride along old country road and meet
a little red-headed fellow on an old mule,
riding astride of bushel of corn, on his
way to the mill. little chap with
freckles all across his nose and gentle,
timid, blue eyes that you just see for a
moment and as he looks up hastily from
under the brim of his broad straw hat,
that has shoestring woven in around
the crown. Yes, you know him. Well,
that's Harris" This statement taken
alone NIGH be almost as misleading as
the newspaper version, for Mr.. Harris
has been on the staff OF the Atlanta Consti-
tuition for number Of years, and must
be considerably over thirty, but he has
never left behind sort if rustic basbful-
ness.

Mr., DARLINGTON DEAD.

He Was One of the Most Prominent Men OF
the City-AIways Charitable and Well
Liked by Allan Old Soldier and Ex-
Postmaster.

known gentlemen of the city, died yester-
day afternoon at the Mercy Hospital after
an illness of only few days. The deceased

ried, and for the past 27 years he and his
sister, Miss Eliza Darlington, have lived at
the Monongabela House. He was a mem
ber of the First Presbyterian Church of
Pittsburg, and was very charitable, SPEND
ing a great portion of bis time in visiting
the poor of the two cities, dealing out with
4 liberal hand the necessaries of lie. His
charity was unostentatious, and very few
even of his most intimate friends knew of
his work.
During the late war Mr.. Darlington took
an active part, and was a commissioned
officer. He was an active G. A. K. man,
and was always ready to lend hand to a
deserving old soldier who has not prospered
since he left the army. Mr.. Darlington
never engaged in any business, but lived on
his income. He was an active Republican,
and in recognition of his party services he
was appointed postmaster under President
Arthur. He did nos appear to like it, how
ever, and after only few months resigned,
and William McCleary was appointed. He
was at another time President of the fire
commission.
Mr.. Darlington was very prominent in
secret society circles, being a thirty-third
degree Mason.

ASSAULTED AND ROBBED.

Henry Wertzhoff Attacked by Three Men
on the Forty-third Street Bridge-A Sill
yer Watch and Small Amount of Money
Secured by the Robbers.
Henry Wertzhoff, German, who works
in a mill at Etna, was assaulted and robbed
last night. 1t occurred on the Forty-third
street bridge at about o'clock. Wertzhotf
was on the way from Millvale to Lawrence
vile, where he expected to collect from
certain building and loan association about
$500. When he was hallway over the
bridge three men approached him, two of
whom were colored men. Without any
ceremony he was seized by the colored men,
and an attempt was made to gag him. The
white man rifed his pockets, securing
little money and a silver watch and gold
chain.
Wertzhoff struggled violently against the
men, but they were too much Tor him, and
after effeetIng their purpose they ran away.
Wertzhoff pursued them, but lost track of
them in the yards of the Allegheny Valley
Railroad, at Forty-third street.
He secured the assistance of several of
the railroad yardmen to continue the search,
but it proved futile. Wertzhof stated that
he had observed the two colored men fol-
lowing him from Etna, and believes that
they thought he had collected the money he
went after before they made the assault.

SAMMY WATSON'S RIDE.
How He Got Mail Collectors Buggy and
Started on q Visit.

How He Got a Mail Collectors Buggy and
Started on Visit.
Twelve-year-old Sammy Watson, who
lives in the Twelfth ward, Allegheny, has a
penchant for stealing rides in vehicles to
which he has no claim. Early last evening
he saw the buggy of mail collector stand
ing on North avenue, the collector being en-
gagged at letter box. Sammy has an uncle
who lives at Woods Run, and it took him
just about one second to see that the oppor-
tunity was before him to pay his relative Il
visit. Quick as fash he 1eaped into the
buggy, and before the mail man could
hardly turn about the horse was dashing
down the street at a gallop, the youngster
PLYING the whip vigorously.
The boy was not caught until he had
driven number of blocks, where the horse
was stopped by a letter carrier who knew
that Sammy had no right to the rig. The
little fellow, who was nicely dressed, was
taken to the City Hall, and there Captain
Bell asked him where he had intended to go.
Between big squirts of tobacco juice he said
that he wanted to visit his uncle at Woods
Run. That was all that could be got out of
him. During his wild drive the boy man
aged to lose the blanket and whip belonging
to the buggy. His parents were notified, but
it was concluded best to keep MIN at the hall
until morning. No charge will be preferred
against him.

DUNLAP ALONG THE RIVERS.

The Senator Spent Yesterday Conferrins
With Steamboatmen About Mr.. Flinn's
81 Wharf Bills-Inclinedt to Let Up, If River
Business Is Not Interfered With.
Senator w. B. Dunlap, the river cham
pion, spent yesterday along Water street
getting the views of steamboatmen on SEN
ator Films wharf bills. The Senator said
he had no further interest in the matter ex-
cept to represent his constituency, and they
are opposed to the bills. He thought if all
the measures were so amended as not to in
terfere with the river business, he would
withdraw his objections.
"Only a rIverman," he continued, "can
understand this question properly. A
stranger looking at the wharf on Water
street would imagine it is lying idle, but
that is a mistake. Every foot of the river
frontage is needed during emergencies, and
for lack of the room thousands of dollars
may be lost in few moments. You see
craft lying on the SouthsIde Of the river.
If we had more room on this side 1t would
be along the Water street wharf. As for
the wharf on the Allegheny, it would be
used more than it is if the boats could pass
under the Union bridge. Boats would run
In there tor repairs and this industry could
be increased"
Captain John A. Wood was seen at his
residence, in the West End, last evening in
regard to the reported meeting of the coal
men with Senator Dunlap yesterday. II
was with the Senator but a short time yes
terday," he said, "and 1 don't know what
he accomplished. One of the reasons
for his visit was to couer with
us on the assertions made by Senator
Finn in his speech before the Senate,
wherein he stated that the rivermen did not
know what they did want, and that they
were opposed to the Exposition building
and the Davis Island dam. Now as to the
Exposition, We are not opposed to it. Why.
have stock in it myself, and
number of other rivermen have
also. As to D9vIs Island dam, L am
opposed to it, because 7 don't think it was
constructed properly, ana 1 told Colonel
Merrill so at the time. As to making
market place out of the wharf, 1 am opposed
to it. If the bills pass the Legislature we
will call on the general Government to COM
pei them to let the rivers alone.
They might do as Captain Eads did on the
Mississippi-bulld levees, but they would
have to build them nigh, because the bottom
of the Allegheny is hard and will not wash
out, nor can it be dredged out. as was the
Mississippi. If they build thatw as they
propose what will become of Allegheny? 1t
means simply this, that some day there will
come rise that will treble the food that
almost washed Johnstown out of existence.
The people of Allegheny are becoming
and on Monday q petition with
., 900 signatures protesting against the pass
ing of the Finn bills will be forwarded to
the Legislature.

q further search proved differently. He Will
