AN AFRICAN PloMY.

The wonderful accounts given by
Henry NJ. Stanley of the dwarf
tribes he had met with in equator
ial Africa has aroused a great deal
of public curiosity.
Mr.. Cross, the Liverpool natur-
alist, in order to meet this demand,
gave orders to his agents to obtain
at any price the best specimen
they could of this peculiar race,
which seems to supply the long
sought'for missing link between the
anthropoid ape and man.
After long and tedious search
in the depth of the Dark Continent
remarkable female pigmy was
procured from native tribe by
which she had been captured, and
was brought safely to Liverpool.
She is Sc inches in height, of we'll
developed body and jet-black COM
plexion, with peculiarly monkey
ish expression and nose so fat
that the lower part of her face
resembles closely the muzzle of an
animal.
She has learned little English
and conversea freely, as far as her
vocabulary goes, with those around
her. Another decidedly human
accomplishment she has also &C.
quired-she smokes the best cigars
with a relish.

favorite fine.cut revealing itself by
frequent expectations, he was
really in the presence of immensely
and solving one of the riddles of
the ages. For it was there that he
got his first hint of the divisibility
of electric-lighting current, and it
was at that moment that the
Edison electric light was created in
his brain.
Even then Edison had no money
sense. He had not learned, as he
afterward did learn, that next to
his own intellect the most powerful
influence which he could have in
the solution of the problems he
undertook to solve was the posses
sion of wealth. He was generous
to a fault, not only with the money
which he earned but with his
ideas. 1t was not until he became
associated with certain capitalists
who regarded his intellect with
awe, and his lack of money sense
with something like amazement
tinged with contempt, that Edison
learned the lesson Of the value of
money.
When he got this lesson he had it
thoroughly. He abandoned all of
the countless notions which foated
to his brain unless he saw in them
a money value; he measured his
contemplated inventions not by
the satisfaction they would give
him or the fame which he would
attain, but by their value as bust
ness commodities. He employed
|just as a bank would, competent
talent to handle his accounts and
his cash, and in the course of two
or three years he found himself not
embarrassed for ready cash, as he
had frequently been before; not
obliged to scurry about here and
there to raise money. which was an
abhorrent occupation to him, but a
capitalist, an associate of capital
lists, man esteemed in financial
circles not only as a wizard with
wonders at his beck, but a man
with a bank account, capable of
undertaking great financial opera
tons. He learned too, to curb his
exuberant and enthusiastic nature,
and he put on mask of severity
and GOODNESS difficult at all times
for him to maintain, but which he
found absolutely essential for his
protection. With his intlnates he
was boy again, and he tells them
frequently that when he gets
through feeling like boy and
wanting to act with the simplicity
and heartiness and frankness of a
boy he wants to 60.
Edison's wealth is almost impos-
| sih1o ~ estimate II 10 xyoru II rco
and he is accunulating now rapidly.
The SNOWFALL has got to a prodig-
ious size and is constantly rolling.
As he is only AZ years of age, the
chances are before he reaches old
|age he will be one of the enormous
ly wealthy men of the country.

A BIBLICAL FORGERY.

For the past 500 or GOO years
the following so.called "Genesis
Fifty-one" has been a puzzle to
biblical scholars, and today were
it read aloud in any mixed COM
pany it is questionable whether its
fraudulent nature would be dis.
covered, so beautiful is the spirit
and language of the Old Testament
initiated. Below we give this
unique fraud in full:
/. And it came to pass after
these things that Abraham sat in
the door Of his tent at about the
going down of the sun.
2. And behold man, bowed
with age, came from the way of the
wilderness, leaning on a staff.
3. And Abraham arose and
met him and said unto him, Turn
in, l pray thee, and wash thy feet,
and tarry all night, and thou shall
arise early on the morrow and go
thy way.
4. But the man said: Nay, for
l will abide under this tree.
5. And Abraham pressed him
greatly, so he turned and they went
into the tent; and Abraham broke
unleavened bread and they did eat.
g. And when Abraham saw that
the man blessed not God, he said
unto him. Wherefore dost thou
not worship the Most High God,
creator Of heaven and earth?
Z. And the man answereth and
said, l do not worship the God thou
speakest of, neither do l call upon
his name, for l have made to my
self a god which abideth always in
in my house and provideth me with
all things.
8. And Abraham's anger was
kindled against that man for what
he had said, and he arose and
drove him forth with blows intothe
wilderness.
8. And at midnight God called
upon Abraham, saying, Abraham,
where is the stranger that came by
the way of thy tent ut the going
down of the sun?
10. And Abraham answered
and said, Lord, he would not wor-
ship thee, neither would he call
upon thy name, therefore l have
driven him out before my face into
the wilderness.
II. And God said, Have I not
bourne with him these hundred and
ninety and eight years, and nour
ished him, and clothed him, not
withstanding he has rebelled againt
me? Couldst thou not, thee thy
self being sinner, bear with him
one night?
~. And Abraham said: Let
not the anger of my Lord wax
against his servant, 10! I have
sinned, forgive me I pray of thee.
13. And Abraham arose and
went forth into the wilderness, and
sought diligently for the man until
he had found him, and returned
with him to the tent, and when he
had entertained him kindly he
sent him away on the morrow with
many gifts.
IA. And God spake again unto
Abraham, saying, for this thy sin
against the stranger, thy seed shall
be afflicted 400 years in a strange
land.
Is. But, for thy repentance, will
I deliver them, and they shall
come forth with power and with
gladness of heart.
The author of pseudo-biblical
curiosity is unknown. It has been
traced back over 900 years to a
Persian poet, who simply says "it
was related to me-"

We are republican because we
believe that the principles of the
republican party and the laws
enacted by them, represent the
active and and material progress
of party pure, the representative
men must be men Of high charac-
ter and pure motives. Political
parties, like religious bodies, find
on what should be roll of honor,
men of base and worthless charac-
ter, that bring the organizations
they profess to belong to in dis
grace and contempt.
If rumor is true the republican
party have such men disgracing it
at Boise CITY today, and this is to
give notice that so far as the Lead
er is concerned, it will be in the
van Of. the public press denouncing
these men, until they demand an
investigation and prove the falsity
of the charges.
We hold the Boise Statesman, a
so-called republican paper, guilty
of moral cowardice, in not giving
to the public the facts Of what has
been common rumor in Boise city
for the past few weeks.
These questions must be answer
ed: Has there been conspiracy
between two officials OF the state,
the superintendent of the Boise
city schools and a certain doctor,
to defraud school teachers in the
east?
The facts as near as we can
learn are as follows: Some time
during the fall and winter there
arrived in the capital a man by the
name of DR.. McCune, who hailed
from some portion of Colorado, and
seeing good material for his pur-
poses in Boise he conceived the
idea of organizing a teachers bu-
reau. With this end in view he
preached the matter to L. T..
squires, the superintendent of the
city schools, and Silas w. Moody,
ex-state superintendent and the
present auditor of state. He then
called on J. r. Harroun, the pres
ent state superintendent, and un-
folded his plans. showing them
what large amount of money
might be made by the organization,
and by the use of these gentle
mems names in connection, they
would be able to reap a rich har-
vest. These worthless seeing wealth
within their grasp, land not being
particular as to how they obtained
IT'D signified their willingness to
assist. The organization was per-
fected with McCune as president,
and squires as secretary, and we
have not learned as yet what
position was given the state officers.
An advertisement was gotten up
about as follows: "One thousand
school teachers wanted in Idaho.
Salaries from $75 to 1925 per
month" Then by means of the
address of teachers obtained from
the national association, they could
place the notices in whatever part
OF the country the desired. On
receiving communication from an
applicant the bureau would notify
the party that it would be necessary
in order to secure a position that a
fee of from 80 to IS would be re.
quired for registration expenses,
and ten per cent Of the first years
salary from all those obtaining
positions. After receiving tho

CONQUERED BANNERS.

1t is like going into haunted house
to enter the room where the flags OF
the late war are kept in the War
Department. There are the flags
which were taken from the Union
forces and recovered at Richmond
and also the captured Confederate
flags. Every one of them has history,
and although they are closely packed
upon the tiers of shelves which line
the sides of the room each and every
one has folded away within its bars
and stars an unwritten history of per-
sonal valor, personal suffering and
personal sacrifice. Each one of those
flags has written upon 1t o story OF
pain and death. The room is as
solemn as vault In graveyard, and
one cannot enter it but there comes
over him a feeling of gloom and sor.
row and sadness for the long and cruel
strife; the almost internecine strife
and contest of brother with brother
for four long years; nevertheless above
all the feelings of sadness there comes
a sense of peace, SO that in coming
forth one feels like quoting the i'm
pressive and truthful words of Solo
mon: alt is better TO enter the house
of mourning than the house Of mirth

Dynamitc disaster.

Tarrytown, New York, May 2O.-
An engine and one fiat car were
conveying load of Italians aud twen-
ty -four cases Of dynamite, each con-
tanning fifty pounds. The Italians
were being taken to section Of the
road where a third track was being
laid. A coil Of rope lay on the front
truck of the engine. Just as the train
was passing Holmes Point, between
Tarrytown aud Irvington, spark
from the locomotive ignited the coil
OF rope and the moving train famed
the flames, and before the Italians ro-
allied the danger one of the packages
of dynamite exploded. One man on
the train, who saw the danger, jumped
from the car and fell under the wheels
and was killed. A few others tum.
bled off and saved their lives, but all
were injured. The next moment there
was a rumbling noise, q dense cloud
of smoke and flying mass shot up
into the air. Some of the killed and
injured were trainmen and not Ital.
ians, they included the brakemeu, time
keeper conductor, engineer and fro
man. Some were taken to the hospital
in Yonkers and others to New York
City. The locomotive and fiat cal

Chicago, May 25.-Between 1000
and 5000 excursionists from this city
who went out to Calumet Heights this
afternoon we're compelled to run for
their lives before prairie fire, which
formed a sheet of flame q half mile
WIDE. Sixteen passenger coaches,
loaded with seekers of suburban lots,
went out from the city early this after
noon, and when all had disembarked
at Calumet Heights that suburb pre-
sented tine aspect Of vast picnic
ground.
Some boys threw matches into the
dead prairie grass and in one instant
the blaze had assumed the dimensions
OF genuine prairie fire. A brisk
northeasterly wind was blowing, and
as the blaze started In the southeastern
ly portion of the plated prairie, the
flames spread and advanced with
tremendous rapidity. Calumet Heights
was thronged with visitors, and whom
the ominous sheet of flame spread
itself and came rushing toward them
with the rapidity of the wind, a
stampede followed. Men, women and
children jostled each other in their
wild flight from the advancing fire.
The scattered dwellings in the
vicinity were in great danger and
their occupants, leaving their goods
behind, Joined in the flight. Fortu.
nately the prairie grass had beer
mown from the northern part Of tht
tract, and the wild fire, running out o.
fuel, abated before it reached the
neighborlng houses. Two police
officers were severely burned whils

dwellings,.
