THE zAMBESl RIVER,
10 Has Been Found Navlgablo by Large
Ocean Vcasels.

10 has kSeen Found Navlgablo by Largo
Ocean Vessels.
1t has long been known that the Fam
best river is the third or fourth largest
river In Africa In it's central and up-
per portions, however, it con not be nav
igated on account of rapids and falls.
Its lower course, also, has not been
available for navigation from tho sea,
because ns far as was known not ono of
tho streams which form It's delta could
he navigated by IL seagoing vessel. Two
years ago MIR. Daniel Rankin surprised
geographcrs by reporting that the
Chinde mouth OF the Zambesi could be
traversed at oil states of the tide by ocean
vessels The news was received with
considerable incredulity, says the New
York Sun, but Rankin was known TO be
careful man. and his report upon his
discovery YVES exhaustive and seemed
to DO conclusive. He surveyed tho
Chtnde river and his map was widely
published.
On tho recent expedition of III. II.
Johnston he proved the accuracy of
Rankin's report He assembled the
Chinde mouth Of the Zambesi In n
steamer drawing thirteen feet of water.
and had no difficulty at nll in reaching
the main river. Her Majesty's ship
Stork, In which he mode this Journey,
is certainly the largest vessel that has
yet boon on the Zambesi. lie left tho
btork when she had steamed forty miles
up the river, as it was not deemed nd
visable to take her beyond the tidal in
huence. The rest of his journey up tho
Zambesi and Shirt rivers was made in
small boats.
The old route to the Shirt was along
the Quaqua river from Quilimanc, n
journey requiring several days of tedious
travel IN canoes until they reached Mo-
nea, where tho Quaqun is separated
from the Zambesi by three miles of fiat
and swamp AT this point all the goods
had to be carried overland TO the Fam
bezi, involving great deal of work
Now, Mr.. Johnston says, the trip
which formerly required seven DAYS
from tho seq to the mouth of the Shirt
river can be made by steamer on tho
Chinde and Zambesi In threo days, and
small ocean-gting vessels can travel
from Europe and penetrate Africa for q
considerable distance in this direction.
10 has therefore been discovered that
the Zambesi will be more useful to com
meroa than was supposed.

Women and Champagne.

IL Is curious what a great deal
women have to do with champagne,
says tho Detroit Free Press The Mer-
echale d Estrees was grand dame de
par 10 monde; also was che an excellent
woman Of business in right Of birth, for
she was the daughter of Jewish finan-
cter. She had vineyards at Mailly;,
Very. Verzenay and Sillery, bat she
united the produce Of them all under the
one name Sillery. She bestowed special
pains upon the cultivation of her Vine
yards, and having good wine to sell
used her social position unsparingly to
force 1t down the throats of her contem-
pornries. The popularity of SIlery
seems to have been the beginning of
that worship OF brands which is SO
characteristic of tho modern wine
drinker. Tho vineyards In tho Cham
pagne department cover 13s,s7o En-
ghsh acres, which produce about Ia
100000 gallons OF wine annually, OF
which about onc-third Is sparkling

BR1DGEwATEn CARRIAGE COMPANY

Annual Meeting of the Stockholders Held
Monday.
A meeting Of tho stockholders of tho
Bridgewatcr Carriage Company was
held Monday at the Office of the COM
pany on Henry street. Out of total of
745 shares, 57s were represented.
Tho meeting was called to ask for an
amendment to the charter, which does
not at present provide for tho privilege
of moving the plant, and as the company
have decided to move beyond the river
at an early day, application will have
to be made to the Judge of the Hastings
Court for such amendment.
MIR. =. Miller, the superintendent of
the company, is now preparing plans
for the new buildings. They will be
much larger and more commodious than
the present structure.
The company will locate the new
buildings on the Roanoke Development
Companys property near the West End
furnace. 1t is probable that by making
the change good water power will be
secured.

WHEN TO GIVE.
Tho Only suro Way Of Having Onc's Plans
Carried Out.

Tho Only Suro Way of Having Onc's PIaua
Carried Out.
There died the other day in New York
an old merchant, who had been always
conspicuous for intelligently directed
energy in business and for simplicity of
living. lie was not put down on tho
short list of the great millionaircs, nor
even on that longer one of men who,
though not millionaircs, were still very
wealthy. The modesty of his living
had placed him on the list of the fairly
we'll to do. His success In business, his
unostentatious life, his high character
as o man, citizen and n merchant all
testified to his good sense, Judgment
and ability.
When his will was opened, says tho
Philadelphia Ledger, it was found that
he died the posscssor Of several millions,
variously estimated ut from six to ten;
1t was also found that he had devised q
very large part of his fortune to q num-
Der OF colleges, and had done 1t In Che
case OF each of them In such free and
intelligent manner as TO again demon
strate his good sense and sound judg-
ment. He did not, as 80 many do,
mako one-sidcd ante-mortem bargain
with the recipients of his bounty that
they should use it In the erection Of
buildings, OF In the endowment Of
chairs, or in any other way leading to
tho perpetuation Of his name and his
charitable disposition. He made no
bargain at NIL with them, but ordered
the various requests to them to be used
as in the Judgment Of the colleges
should to them seem best.
Wise and generous rs he was in giving
well, he lacked the wisdom of giving
timely. Like so many others who have
greatly desired that the wealth accumu-
lated by them should go to the helping
OF the world, he intrusted the work of
distribution to executors, instead of do
ing it himself. The result Is the rather
common one-his will Is contested; is,
If possible, to be set aside, and his be-
ncvolent purposes arc to be defeated.
Had he himself done in life that which
he directed his executors to do whom he
was dead, he would have had the assur-
ance that it was certainly and vol
done The great schools, the usefulness
OF which no desired to increase, would
have had their usefulness increased be-
yond oil peradventure, and his light Of
charity would have so shono before men
as to serve rs On example ind IN in
centivc to others to emulate 1t. As lis,
his purposes of well-doing may oil be
frustrated, and tho millions which he
wished should, and which he anticipated
would, be employed In extending the
beneficial influences of enlightened edu-
cation, may be spent In costly legal con-
tention, OF otherwise less profltably
than he who wrought for them intended
they should be spent To give most
surely every man should himself give,
and give timely, during his own active
lite, to tho end that his designs shall
not DO set aside.

WORKING THE NICKEL IN THE SLOT.
-Four White Boys Get Chewing Gum With
Pieces of Tin.

Four White Boys Get Chewing Gum With
Pieces of Tin.
Four white boys, whose ages range
from 8 to 10 years, were arrested ycster-
day morning by Officer Nabry on the
charge of stealing from the Roanoke
Drug Company. They were locked up
at police headquarters and given hear
ing by the Mayor yesterday evening.
1t developed that the boys had used
pieces of tin instead of pennies, and
were rapidly cmptying the chewing gum
case, which works on the slot system.
The machine has been great tempta-
ton to the boys for some time, and
many were led into the trap unawares.
The four who were caught had good
cry in the coils, followed by severe
reprimand from the Mayor. They were
then turned over to their fathers, who
used the hickory in great shape.

The Eloquence of Lawyers Did Not Out
weigh the Facts I'm the Case.
The case of Matte Evans and others,
charged with keeping a bawdy house
near the Old Lick, was heard by Mayor
Evans yesterday morning.
Matte and her gang were repre-
sented by Messrs. Wood & Locket
Several young men were examined as
to tho character of the place and made
some plain statements.
Matte sat demurely in court with q
wreath of fax colored hair hanging like
brush pile over her brow. A white
plume swung f1auntingly from her hat,
behind which a peacock's plume cut the
frosty air in front.
Matte was sure OF going free. and re-
lied only on the argument of her
counsel. but eloquence and law failed
to suffice. The mayor fined her $50 and
costs. An appeal was taken to the
Hastings Court.

THEIR PAPERS STOLEN.
Commissioner Harries Relates the Expert
of the Sioux Commission.

OMAHA, NEB., August l7.-Members Of the
Sioux Commission are in this city, having COM
pleted their work In conversation Commis-
sioner George II. Harries of Washington said .
More important than any other branch of our
duties was the settlement Of the difficulty boz
tween the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Indians.
by the terms of the Foster-N Narner-Cr rook treaty
the boundary line between the two reservations
WAS moved eastward nearly twenty miles. This
action, agreed to by the Rosebud Indians (who
were the loosers), rendered about siN hundred
Rosebud people homele unless the Pine Ridge
folks consented 10 their being transferred
to the Pine Ridge agency rolls. To secure
this consent took about six weeks OF the most
active campaigning. When our work was done
Chairman Pearce valise containing all the off,
cial documents Luckily, however. We had
check lists from which il possible to con-
struct a duplicate of the missing agreement
and this duplicate properly certified has been
accepted by the Interior Department as satls-
factory ana binding. At Rose Bud and Lower
Brule agencies we collected information On
which congressional or departmental action
may be based, but nothing in the nature Of .
treaty was negotiated.
1T was generally understood. prior 10 our
visit to these places that the controlling ele-
ment at Lower Brule desired TO sell the entire
reservation and TO settle upon the northern
edge of the Rosebud reservation just south Of
White river. but our investigation convinced
US that the time for such proceedings has not
yet arrived. Both the Lower Brule and Rose
bud Indians are, however. discussing the prob
abilities with all seriousness, and they may soon
reach a conclusion among themselves and with
out any white man intervention.
