-Four or five Of us entered the hotel to-
gether, but the man with the sealsSin
trimmed overcoat pushed his way right
up to the desk, registered as j. N. Pow
ell Jones, Boston, and loudly remarked:
BEST parlor bedroom you have in the
caravansary, and it must be on the
front, too"
"Yes, SIR" obsequiously replied the
clerk, and he ran him into the elevator
before he assigned any of the rest of us
to back room four floors up.
At dinner the Baron had his bottle of
wine, and he had two walters jumping
at his command. When through he
strolled into the Office with gold tooth
pick in his mouth, sat down in a promi-
nent place, and, stretching out his legs,
he remarked in loud voice: eff had
time I'd like to give the mayor of this
town few hints on how to run it.
Here, you'll If the Governor calls forme
say that am out. l don't want to be
bothered with him."
"Who is hep" T asked of one of the
group.
"a drummer from Boston," he re-
piled.
"Why, l thought him some great
man."
"Well, you were right. They don't
grow any bigger in this country"
The Baron snapped his fingers for a
boy, sent for a newspaper and q cigar,
and was asked if any of us had ever
seen a thousand dollar bill, when Jew
drummer for u tobacco house entered
with an open telegram in his hand and
handed it to the owner of the earth. 1t
read:
"Firm of Blank & Blank, Boston, gone
under for 100000"
That was the firm the Baron travelled
for. He read the dispatch twice over,
gasped three or four times, and then
fell on the floor The news became
public property in five minutes, and the
clerk of the hotel looked coldly upon
the unconscious man, and then said to
the colored porter:
"TalSe him up the freight elevator to
a cheap back room, Sam, and don't
waste any more water than you can
help in bringing him to- AS soon as
he can walk, get him out. IN. Y.

Death shall not make me abandon nv
faith. I" were Geronimos last words The
pasha raised his hand, some soldiers
stepped forward, they removed the chain
from the prisoners leg, they bound his
nands behind his back, they crossed his
legs and tied them; then they took him up
aao iald him with his face downward into
Ihe mold. Inc plaster was poured over him,
and Iamango, renegade Spaniard, want
ing to show what fervent Mohammedan
ne was, jumped on Geronimo's body and
oroEe his ribs. This act pleased EuIdj Ali
50 much that Others followed his example.
For twenty-four hours Geronimo lay
bleeding, suffering, dying, In that
oiock OK beton. Tho ieers and oaths
OF his enemies must have been ring
ing in his ears, the African sun in its intense
power must have poured upon his aching
mead; but, brave, faithful and unmurmur-
ing, this noble Arab lay there till the weary
DAY and night were over and another morn
ing broke upon the beautiful Algerian land.
But In the land above we believe TIE gates
OF the kingdom of heaven were thrown
open, and Geronimo, bearing the balm in
his hand, was admitted into the noble army
OF martyrs.
For 800 years this story was handed from
one generation to another, till some people
treated it as a romance; but thirty-eight
years ago, when alterations were being
made and the wall bad 70 be taken down,
the workmen came upon strange hollow
place and some human bones. The gov
ernor, remembering this story, directed
that plaster of paris be thrown into
tie mold. and very soon the
lhe-size figure of Geronimo ap-
peered, proclaiming the truth of the
martyrdom. The cast is now kept in the
museum a. Algiers 1t shows slight figure,
a face with the veins all raised, poor
mouth closed, with a patient, determined
expression; the hands are tied, the legs are
swollen-even the very broken ribs are
lying there. Three hundred years of his
tory holding its peace. and lol the very
stones, as 1t were, cry out, and the noble
Arabs martyrdom is brought to light.

man is the leader. Comparisons are odious,
hut IL cannot be denied that the average
New England girl dresses more sensibly in
the summer than does her faireP neighbor
from the south. The former is prepared
for something beside the hotel piazza. Per-
haps her climate has something to do with
it, for it is too warm for hard exercise in
the middle of the day at some of the south
ern resorts, and the people are forced to re-
main 10 their rooms or Co loaf on the porch.
But whether she dresses well or not the
summer resort girl is charming, fascina-
ting, irresistible. How many matches have
been made this summer the announcements
of engagements little later will show. The

TREB-CLIMBING RABBITS.
A Queer Modification of European
Animals in Australasia.
FROM the London Globe

III 6OoOI
From the London Globe.
The effects upon animals of a change In
the conditions OF their life Is favorite
topic among biologists and biologists. who
find that nearly every species Of animals
existed in some other than its present form
at some previous epoch of the world. The
whale. for instance, was once land animal.
Forced to take water for a living, be be-
came in time much more like fish in shape
than like land animal
According to Tasmanian paper a modi-
ficstion Of the form of a familiar Eu-
ropean animal is going on in the Aus
tralasian world under the eye Of the people
there.
The Australian rabbit, imported from
England, is acquiring nails on his feet and
learning to climb AS is well known, the
rabbits Of Australia have increased to such
enormous numbers that they have become
a great pest, swsrming over the land and
devouriug the famers' crops.
In order to protect their fields the farmers
put up wire netting in place OF fences. The
rabbits could not get through these, but
they presently began to burrow beneath
them.
Then the farmers sank the MEETINGS six or
eight inches into the soil. This stopped the
rabbits from getting in by digging, but they
presently began 20 attempt to climb over
the netting.
As result of this climbing. it is said, the
rabbits are developing IA nail In their toes.
The nail development has bsen noticed in
Queensland, AMI still later in Tasmania
According to the theory of natural seleo-
ton, il is likely presently to happen that in
certain districts only those rabbits will sur
vive which can climb at least little, and in
this way a race Of climbing rabbits may be
developed

HISTORY OF THE UMBRELLA.
It's Exact Origin is Unknown, but It Is
Very Ancient.

ICS GXaCg orig N Is OuhuOWD, out 1t Is
Very Ancient.
From the Irish Times
No one knows whether the umbrella was
originally used as defense against rain or
as a screen from the sun, but 1T seems prob
able that the first umbrellas were sun
shades, In countries where very little
clothing Is worn rain does not make much
difference, but the sun Is a power. Why
shouldn't the palm leaf be the first sun
shades, with its ribs and handles to order
1t hints at the umbrella az well as the fan.
Travellers among the Amos Of japan
often make temporary suns lades Of gigan-
tic dock leaves, which ore sometimes six
feet high, large enough for an account Of
CULVER. The umbrella has a very great
antiquity. The word itself means a little
shadow" showing that it was named for
its protection from the sun in this case
Horace says:
"Among the military standards the sun
beholda an Egyptian canopy
On c)ius and in the rock carvings of the
ancents the umbrella often shows its ia
miliar form. This goes to show that Jonas
Henway did not invent the umbrella, but
he saw the value of the eastern sunshade.
aud soon it became the fashion to carry
this article of apparel. There must be a
great difference between the umbrella of
the eighteenth century and tho modern
steel-ribbed, silk-covered slender article
which it is regarded as misfortune to get
wet
The desideratum at present is a portable
umbrella There is a fortune for c man
who invents really good umbrella which
can be slowed ia valise or trunk. There
is an unpatented Coreen umbrella that may
Gil the bill. When is begins to rain the
picturesque and stately Corean swell
reaches into his sleeve and produces a
folded oiled paper affair resembling q fan.
This is spread and set over the hat like an
extinguiaher, and is kept in place by two
strings held under the chin. 1t is not very
large, but anything that will cover a
Corean hat will keep the rain from Corean.

BUEEETED BY THE WAVES,
II. NJ. s. Dreadnaught Came Near Being
.sg Sent to the Bottom

II. NJ. s. DreadnaUght Came Near Being
..a Sent to the Bottom.
LONDON. Dec. 2S.-Some idea of the power Of
the waves at sea and Of tho weakness when ex.
posed thereto of even the most powerful mod.
ern ironclads has just been disclosed by dis
patches received at the admiralty in regard to
an accident which has happened to II. N. S.
Dreadnaught, Capt. Arthur H. Arlington, four
guns. $50 tons, S.2l0 horse power, attached
10 the Mediterranean squadron.
The Dreadnaught is an iron battle ship: she
was launched in 1875, has armor plating Of
from, eleven &c fourteen inches in thickness,
carries tour 3S-ton guns and Is credited with q
speed OF fourteen knots an hour. She has. in
addition to her amor, what WAS considered to
be most powerful steel protective deck
According to the dispatches Just received the
Dreadnausht, while on a voyage from Malta to
Saionica recently. encountered a severe storm
and was badly damaged from the buffetinS she
received During .Le height of the gale the
Dreadnaught shipped several sees 80 heavy that
they bent in her steel protective deck by the
force of the water hurled aboard the war ship.
1t was not slight beudins either six clear inches
OF the deck having been bulged inward by
Neptunes pounding. In fact, at one time the
Dreadnaught was in immediate danger of being
sent to the bottom with all hands for nc boats
could hav. lived long in the sea which was then
raging In addition to bending in the war
vessels protective deck the heavy seas which
came aboard caused the support Of this deck
to carry away and also did other damage, wash
ing away considerable portion OF the deck
fittings and smashing one of the life boats into
match wood.
This accident to the Dreadnaught, it is an
nounced will lead to long and careful in
qulry into the subject of protective decks and
may also be the cause of many notifications
and improvements In the construction of these
particular portions OF the war ships now in
course of construction.
OF course the Dreadnaught. though classed as
moderh battle ship, is far from ranking with
the Benbow or other vessels of that class; nor
does she come near, in point OF effectiveness
rs fighting ship, to such vessels as the Sans
iareIl, Victoria, Trafalgar or Nile, built
in 1887. yet the Dreadnaught was looked
upon as being able to stand much
more severe handling than she experienced
from the heavy Of the Mediterranean.
Aud In consequence of the many similar in
stances OF failures upon the part of war ships to
come up to what was expected Of them a re-
viva! OF the old cry as to the rotten condition
OF Engiands navy may be looked for.

MANY ARRESTS IN POLAND.

Tho Russian Police Claim to Have Un-
earthed q Conspiracy Against the Gar.
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 2s.-The police have
becn displaying much activity Of late more
particularly in Russian Poland, and Q very
large number Of arrests havo been made. One
OF the arrests at Warsaw was the Polish histo-
rian, Vladislav Smolensky. Tho charges against
the persons taken into custody were not known,
but 1t was surmised that they were in some way
Implicated in designs against the government
or, IN other words, that they were plotting
against the life of the car
This surmise has proved to be correct, for
1t has transpired today that the arrests we're
the result Of the discovery OF the existence of a
secret league, the object of which was to assas-
sinate the car. The police upon learning of
the existence of the league carefully
that had come into their possession ard learned
the ramifications of the conspiracy spread to
every part of Russian Poland. Tho league was
not composed entirely of people belonging TO
the lower classes. bat included many officials of
the civil government military officers and q
large number of students
1t is not known how many persons have been
taken into custody in connection with the latest
plot az alEst the life of the car hut enough
has come to light 10 show tina. the haul made
by the secret police has been very extensive.
1t is thought that many Of the persons con-
nected with the conspiracy have taken fright at
the knowledge Of their plans held by the police
and that they Will seek safety by fleeing from
the country. The authorities, however, are
said to be well informed as to the movements
OF every one In any way connected with the
plot. and orders have been issued that the Aus
trian and German frontiers be closely watched
Tor people Who may attempt to leave the coun-
ny without the requisite government permits
sion. 1t isbelievod that further arrests will
shortly DO made at the frontiers
A dispatch from Mitau capital Of Cour!and,
states that tho police havo arrested Baron
Hahn, a weil-known land owner, for tearing
down the imperial coatof-arms which stood
over the door Of the court horse at that place.

which IS here crossed by bridge OF boats, has
