Capt Edward @. Hore, master mariner Afri-
can explorer, shipbuilder, pioneer. ciyilizer, of
London. Eng, delivered a most entertaining
and valuable lecture last night before the Ma
tional GeographicalS Society of Washington in the
assembly hall of the Cosmos Club. The hall
was completely filed when 8 o'clock arrived,
and Capt. Hors stood up by the desk. He is a
tall, rather slender man, with q refined, dark
face, shaded by full black beard. His voice
IL soft and the intonations Of his speech are en-
tirely English. There Is q certain softness OF
manner, gentleness OF tone, delicacy In
touching on controverted points, yet withal q
frmness Of assertion, born Of actual observa-
ton, that contrasted strangely with the impress
sion created before his appearance, from the
announcement that he spent eleven years OF
his life among the savage people of Africa, the
men whom Stanley has described as unmitigated
barbarians whom to know is to dread.
THE HEART OF AFRICA.
Capt. Hore spoke to the theme, 1.-THE Heart
Of Africa" reading sometimes from book
before him filed with his handwriting and fire.
ouently interfering words that had never been
written, explaining passing points of interest
He referred in his introduction to the various
authorities on African lore and mentioned his
long experience in the dark continent as CIV
ing him a right to speak on the subject. He
then went on to ''dissect Africa" as he called
his general description Of the geographical and
physical conditions of the continent. From
that head he proceeded to tell how he and
number of other Englisbmen several years ago
undertook to penetrate from the east coast of
Africa, 500 miles to Lake Tanganyika, which he
regarded as the heart of the continent"
They went for tho purpose of opening up COM
nunication with the vast bodies of people iv-
ing far in the interior and directly in the in
terests of an association having for its object
the civilization of these savages.
WHAT The PARTY CONSISTED OF.
They had two or three hundred natives as
porters, guides. path clearers and for other
purposes, and besides their travelling necessities
they carried the parts of a steamboat which
was afterwsrd put together on Lake Tanganyika,
and which was the first vessel of the sort that
ever clesved the waters Of this isolated region.
The story OF this journey through the wilds Of
the forest and the plain was thus graphically
told: In the Magunda Nikali, which we had
now reached, from twenty to twenty-five miles
day was often made over very broken ground

The twin sons Of Mrs. George W. Halford Of
Toledo have Just been received at the Soldiers
Orphan Home at Xenia. Ohio. They might
have been there years ago but for their fathers

PLANS FOR THE sEAsoN-THE MEN IN THE DIY-
FERENr cLUBs-wILL THERE BE PEACE?
The active base ball season Is Just one week
further advanced and nothing has happened to
make q material change in the aspect Of affairs,
either locally or generally. The league has had
meeting and has decided to run or try to run
team in Cincinnati, in opposition to Al John
sons club, but the prevailing theory is that it
has made a mistake in SO doing. There are
those here who claim that their team will not
finish the season in Cincinnati. even if it
should begin it, and the association people do
not seem to be particularly alarmed at the
prospect.
THE HOME TEAM.
Locally there has been little DONE Paul
Hines and Carsey we're signed and that is about
all. The team is now very nearly complete.
Indeed, it is full enough now to begin play,
although a little weak yet in battery talent. To
recapitulate once more, it consists of the fol-
lowing men: Bakely, Carsey and Keefe, pitch
ers; Clark and Mcclure, catchers; McQueery,
first base; Dunlap, second base; Smalley
third base; Hatfield shortstop; Beecher, left
field, Visner. right field; Hines, center field.
the wind to try to play out the season with this
team, as there are practically no margins for
accidents to men and really not enough pitch
ers to make a formidable showing. The club
needs one good twirler and he is the man the
directors are after just now.

Both Dr. Sauerherring and myself were
greatly chagrined at our carelessness in letting
the animals escape, but it couldn't be helped
now. For all practical purposes, SO far as
our own theory was concerned, the expert
ment, however, had been all that we could
have desired. Some fools had shot the dog
and drowned the cat since such singular con-
duct as that of the beasts could not be toler-
ated in any self-respecting community So we
got another dog and another cat and this time
we interchanged their cerebrums instead of their
cerebellums. The results, as in the former
case, were eminently satisfactory. Ny col
league, DR.. Sauerherring, was a great hunter,
and used TO go of to the Black Forrest down in
Bohemia every season to shoot wild boars The
interchanged dog utterly refused to 20 with him
or TO countenance any such foolishness in the
slightest degree, but the baying cat leaped and
bounded when its master whistled to il and il
came to know that wild pig meat was in the
air. The doctor told me that his first season
with the cat was n pronounced success since
the animal possessed the inestimable advantage
of being able 10 fill the bears with terror with
the deep-toned bay that came from its w-his-
kered jaws They had never before seen or
dreamed OF such thing, and falling down in

when Wesley's alert form was before them and
his piercing eye searched them through and
through. Men who came to hear that ''vaga-
bond" were astonished to find that he had the
best education England could give. II
might well be that Wesley had read his
Odyssey on his way to that very town. or
beguiled the journey with some other classic.
II they inquired further about that ''uncouth
preacher, the great DR.. johnson could tell
them that Wesley was such an engaging man
that he CDR. Johnson) "could talk all day and
all night with him." Wesley never demanded
recognition as a philanthropist, but he gave
sl5O, 900 in charities; he elaborated plans for
the relief Of the poor; he had a dispepsary at
his chapel for the sick and needy; he gave SEN
sible medical advice, and, with prescience in
keeping with his foresight in other matters. he
suggested remedies now approved, as Of cleo
tricity for case where today it might properly
be prescribed. The world saw Wesley working
among the ignorant-itinerant and illiterate
met on equal terms-and yet witnesses on every
hand could testify that his reading was 20 extern

BILE as they were appreciative and pungent and
that his love FOR pictures revealed an artists

GRAY IN INDIANA,

His Chances of Carving the State are
Very Good.
CHICAGO, June 26.-''There is no power
on earth now that can defeat Gray
in Indiana; ex-senator Mcdonald being
dead Gray holds the state in his grasp"
The speaker was VIM. Henderson, a prom
inent Indiana politician, when at the
Palmer house yesterday. Mr.. Henderson is
the energetic man who collected all the
money that went into the Hendricks monu-
ment fund.
"The death of Mcdonald will have a
great effect on Indiana politics." continued
MIR. Henderson, "and at the same time
have equally as great an effect on national
politics. l mean by this that Gray will be
placed on the democratic ticket for vice
president in 1892. but had Mcdonald lived
Gray's name would not have been mentioned
in the convention.
Eyes, Gray is more popular than Harrison;
as much SO as Blaine is. He can carry In
diana, and that is the reason he will receive
national honors. Gresham is the only man
who could overcome Gray's popularity; that
il, he is the only man of Indiana who can
demccratio following in the presidents s
state, and 1t would only like an opportunity
to demonstrate its regard for him.
The democrats of indiana, of course, re-
gret that such brainy member of their
party has passed away, but at the same time
rejoice that the bitter fight between Gray
and Mcdonald is at last over. Death ends
all things, and it ends the contest between
Gray and Mcdonald. The breach between
the two men could not be bridged 80 long
as life lasted in both, but now that McDon-
aid has gone harmony is once more created
in the democratic ranks i'll Indiana, and
there is not much doubt now about which
way the state will 60 in future elections"
