This party will endeavor to find the
falls on the Grand river which Indians

plateau 100 miles from the sea. They

height of the falls, and will remain con-
Quoting observations at points of inter-
est until the return Of the expedition.
Cape Chudleigh, point about 500
miles to the north OF Hamilton inlet, is
the objective point Of the larger part of
the expedition, and it Is the intention to
stop at Main Okkab and other settle
ments along tho coast. The object of
tho expedition is to collect botanical,
@eOlO0ical nineralOpical and zaoloaical
specimens along the coast. At the re-
quest OF Professor Boaux, of Clark uni

SAVAGE ON Pnrne1I.

DUBLIN. June 29.-The National Press
referring to Mr.. Parnelfs approaching
visit to Carlow, says Carlow will revolt
against the meditated outrage. Mr.. Par
nell is devoid of moral sense and cannot
comprehend the mental attitude of relig-
ious people toward his crime. Carlow
will make it plain that the hero of the
squaid scene at Steyning is impossible
as far as decent Irishmen are concerned.

bismarck and the Kaiser.

Much indignation exists in govern
ment circles in Berlin at the renewed
bitterness of Bismarck's organs to-
wards the kaiser and his policy, and es-
pecially the covert assaults upon the
triple alliance. The belief that the ar
ticies are inspired by Bismarck widens
the breach between the chancellor and
emperor, and there is yet possibility
that Bismarck may find himself called
10 account not in the way of Judicial
prosecution, but as an official of the inn
perial army, endeayoring to undermine
the faith Of the people in tho sovereign.
Those who are near the kaiser say that
his animosity toward Bismarck has
grown rapidly of late, and may take
form unpleasant to the prince.

ANOTHER NEST EGG FOUND.
More Light on BardsIey's Shady
transactions.

ufOF6 AiRnb on EaFOSIcyiS 5nauy
Transactions.
PHILADELPHIA, June 29.-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of por-
don of the $685. 900 which Bardsley re-
ceived from Glendenning g. Co., on May
%, the day he sent his resignation to
councils, is partially cleared. 1t was
found in a clearing house due bill, issued
by the Fourth Street National bank, a
style of bank paper which was evidently
in great favor with Bardsley. The due
bill is for $50 r257.59. 1t has been traced,
1t is said, to the hands Of Bardsley's wife
and his niece, Eleanor Tatum, whose
money he claims to have been using for
the advances to contractors.
The authorities have what they con-
slider certain clew to the developments
Of the balance of the $o3, 900, but they
decline to say anything in connection
with the matter until they have got the
money fast by legal process. During
the next few days items representing
this amount Of money and other
small sums will turn up. They are said
to be now in sight. The city will not
be the only claimant for these amounts.
William E. Magill, Bardsiey's assignee,
will make a contest in the courts TO Sc
cure possession of them for the benefit
of the creditors at large. and much liti-
CATION is expected before the tangle will
be completely unraveled. The assignee
has written to the various banks asking
il Bardsley has either directly or indi-
rectly any claim against them. He has
received replies, but it is not known
what they disclose.
Lawyer Alexander has not vet sent
his answer to the letter of Chairman
Van Osten, of the investigating COM
mittee, requesting Bardsleys appear
ance before the committee.
One of the most interesting and inn
portant discoveries made by the mayors
experts, who are re-oyerhauling city
books and Bardsley's papers to test the
truth of the ex-city treasurer's defense
made in court, bears on the purchase of
the house made in Germantown. The
house was purchased with public
money. In his pathetic statement made
before Judge Wilson Of his frugal life
of self-denial, he said that the house
cost 1000, which sum represented his
wife's savings Of ten cent pieces and his
savings from all outside sources, especi-
ally his salary for services rendered in
any capacity outside his public duties or

AS 1t requires agility rather than strength

woman is about match for a stout and
middie-aged man, with equal practice, and
some oil the best women PLAYERS can hold

This is test not to be recommended how
ever, as the practice of playing with one of
the other sex rather tends to break a man

and his desire to excel. Thus it NAV easily

best while quite young and do mot long
retain their supremacy.
Badminton came to the front last winter
as an indoors game, for which il was well
adapted by the smallness of the court re-
quired. A tennis court is rs feet by 81
wider than an ordinary city lot and nearly
as deep. The badminton court Is only Al
feet by 20, and can be recommended for
home game where space is very limited.
The net is shorter and higher. The short
service line is 6 feet inches from the net.
The base line is 15 feet 6 inches farther
back on either side. The net itself is is
feet long and feet high in the middle.
In the play shuttlecock is used in
stead of the white ball used in ten
mis-. This is made of rubber and
feathered to steady its fight. Ordinary
tennis rackets are used instead of the old
fashioned 'battiedores." The game is, in
fact, sort of cross between lawn tennis
and the older game, and is said to be the
invention of an English officer in India,
who found the climate too hot for ten
MS. Perhaps that Is the reason WHY old
tennis players call badminton lazy peo-
pies game. When such sturdy athletes as
Hamilton Cary ana Stanley Mortimer and
such clever tennis experts as Miss Annie
Webb, Miss Turnure, Miss Minturn and
Miss Elsie Mitchell play and enjoy the
game, however, 1t can safely be assumed
that there is plenty of exercise in it.
The rules of badmlnton are so simple
that they can be summarized in a para
graph. There is no authoritative Ameri-
can body like the National Tennis Associ-
alton, but the English rules are used:
The sides toss for choice of ends or service
before the first game of a match, and change
to the other side of the net after each game
The single handed and double handed
game consists of fifteen aces. At "l3 all, :"
the side which first reaches thirteen has
the option of setting five; at ii all, of
setting three. In three-handed or four
