A TELEGRAPHER AS KING.
NIademba L. of SeGon Promo ed to the
Throne from tho Key.

Iademba 1. of SeEon Promo ed to the
Throne from tho Key.
A sudden favorable turn of fortune
does not always ALLEVIATE the lucky in.
dividual from his habitual occupations.
This more or less wise saw is applica-
BILE to the case of the present king of
Segon, who was put on the throne OF
his black kingdom by Col. Archinard
when his royal predecessor, Ahmadou,
took to flight for his safety.
Mademba, the present monarch, is q
native of the country over which he at
present rules, but was formerly con-
troller of tclegraphs at Senegal Be-
fore accepting his regal state, he made
it a condition that his name should con-
tinue to be inscribed on the list of telc-
graph servitors, and that his situation
as king should be considered as sub.
servient to that of his original employ.
ment.
Mademba must have learnt, either
by intuition or from acute observation,
that the lot of monarch is less certain,
in these days, than the position of an
officer in the service of the ''postes ct
biographies" and so preferred to keep
in reserve what might one day prove to
be happy issue out of all his afflic-
tions.
He has, no doubt, constantly one eye
on his throne and the other one of
memory on the Office of his former tel
egraphic exploits. Should the future
bring about for Mademba that change
which is in the modern order of things,
he may return to the tic-tic of his
former days with the right to add to
his title of preference that of "ex-lzing
of Segon."
Politeness in telegraphic offices, al.
though once seriously complained of by
Al. Guy de Maupassant, is generally
the rule, even with the ordinary em.
ployes; but should Mademba /. OF
Segon ever return to his Senegalian
bureau, his clients may expect to be
treated in right royal fashion by man
who never lost sight of business, even
when promoted to the honors of M
| African throne. -Galignani Messenger

GOOD FOR THE JEWS.
The Rumors of Relaxation of Their
Persecution in Russia Confirmed.

The Rumors of a Relaxation of Their
Persecution in Russia Confirmed.
WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Confirmation
has been received of the news that the
czar has relaxed the Jewish expulsion
measures through the intercession of
President Harrison. The modification
applies not simply to the Jews intend
ing to emigrate to this country but to
the whole race in the Russian empire.
The assurances given to this govern
ment were that in view of the approach
ing winter the czar would suspend the
expulsions and in the meantime con-
suit with his advisers as to the future
policy. In the message announcing the
intention of the czar reference is made
to the friendly feeling now existing be-
tween the two countries and to the ira
ditional uninterrupted friendship OF
Russia and the United States extending
through more than half century.
There is also an expression of personal
regard from the emperor to President

Fire and Smoke Issuing from 5000
Spouters of Various Sizes.
SAN DIEGO Cal, July 27.-The San
Diegan publishes descriptive account
by Col. l. X. Allen, well-known engi-
neer, of phenomena in what is known
as the volcanic region of Cocopah
mountains, situated 65 miles southwest
of Yuma in lower California. Col. Allen
says that there are over 5000 active
volcanoes there, one-half of which are
small cones, measuring 10 or 12 feet at
the base. The remaining half are from
to 40 feet at the base and Is to %
feet in height. The whole
volcanic region is encrusted with
sulphur. One peculiar feature of
the region is the lake, which is quar-
ter of Il mile in length and one-eighth
of mile in width. 1t is seemingly
bottomless and the water is hot and
salty ond of iet-blacll color.

A FATAL RIDE.
Terrible Fate of 9-Year-Ojd Boy In
Chicago.

Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-Little Arthur, the
9-year-old son of Manager Arthur
Thomas, of 1.-The County Fair" now
playing at Hooley's, and nephew of
Theodore Thomas, the famous musical
director, was killed while exercising
one of the theatrical company's horses.
Mounted on the horse known
as Dude" the unfortunate youth
in company with his father and another
gentleman was riding along the Lake
Shore drive when the animal ran away.
The boy clung bravely to the reins for
some distance, but finally slipped from
the saddle. His foot caught in the
stirrup and he was dragged for 2
blocks his head striking the pavement
with every bound of the frightened
horse. AT last he fell by the roadside,
and when the agonized father reached
him he was dead, his body being fright
fully mangled.

A SUMMER THOUGHT.

Dazzling the landscape lies;
Blue, gold, and green
Even to tear-stained eyos
Beauteous, I ween.
Blue slry, widespreading trees,
Green, still, and tall;
Sunshine in golden ease
Slanting DER oil
Happy henrts wandering,
Sun on them too;
Strenmlets meandering
Fair meadows through.
Presently sinks the sun
Crimson to rest;
After his work iB done,
Seeks he the west.
Homeward the happy hearts
Stroll DER the lea;
Silent the stream departs,
Bound for the sea-
flushed stand the lordiy trees,
Sentinels strong;
Whispers the evening breeze
Gently along.
'Grny.tinted shadows creep
Over the sky;
Deep in n dreamless sleep
Soon all things lie.
Sorrow seems lost In rest,
Care in repose-
Wrapt in oblivion blest
Earth and her woes.
Only linger still,
10th to depart
From these calm scenes that kill
Pain at my heartl

A VILLAGE IN ASHES.
Tire Almost Destroys the Little Town of
Blair, Wis.


MILWAUKEE, July 2s.-The village
of Blair, of about 400 inhabtluts, in
Trempealeau county, and one of the
most nourishing on the Green Bay,
Winona & st. Paul railroad, was al
most entirely destroyed by fire Monday.
1t started about II a. m. in IL closet of a
dwelling over Kirtleson's general store,
and burned every business place in the
town within four hours, entailing Il
total loss of at least $l5O,0OO. The
town had no fire protection and every
thing is built of wood, and brisk wind
was blowing. There was nothing to do
but try to save what vas possible,
though the amount was inconsiderable.
Ten or twelve families were left home
less though there were no injuries or
fatalities. Some of the individual
losses are as high as $4,000.

THE rate of taxation, State and county,
in Napa County in 1880 was 81 so on the
500. In 1890 it was 81 30. This year it is
81 80. The debt of the county in 1880 was
s420, 900; it is now $4,000. Napa County
thus testifies to its own prosperity and
economy. It has grown rapidly in ma
terial wealth and at the same time has
conserved the interests of its people by
steadily reducing the burdens of govern
ment, without decreasing in any respect
the benefits of organized society. Napa's
example ought to suggest to other coun-
ties that it is possible to conduct the bust
ness of county upon business princi-
pies and to make the cost to the people so
light that taxation will not be considered
burdensome. AS Napa is now progress
ing she will presently be free from debt
and have tax rate not in excess of 81.
Sacramento County has done better
than Napa. Prosperous, her financial
condition healthy, her buildings all of a
good order, her debt light, she levies for
State and county purposes but 81, the
county tax being 55.4 and the State 44.6.

The story of the wrecking of the for
tune of Cyrus w. Field by his son is one
too full of woe and distress to be the sub
ject of extended comment The aged
American who has been so prominent
and useful in the affairs of his country
lies upon his dying bed as poor as when
he entered the world, and his ruin is due
wholly to the recklessness of the child of
his heart. 1t is a pitiful spectacle, and so
full of acute human misery that the su-
premest mercy to the sufferer is to with
draw from contemplation it.

entrance to the association. Joy, not at
the request, but at the requests answer,
for I inclose herewith 81, the first I've
had for several long times, valuable
therefore not only for their governmental
value, but also for their scarceness and
on account of their properties as curiosi-
ties in this profession.

IT now appears that the rebels in China
who butchered the Belgians are not
mountaineer Mongolians as contended,
but Chinese secret society men, such as
have been conspiring against the Manchu
dynasty for a number of years. 1t is
now reported that France and England
will unite to ask the United States to join
with them. in combined action against
the Chinese. 1t is probable that our Gov
ernment will not take steps of an ag-
gressive character, but will join with
the Powers in putting such forces into
the treaty ports as can afford full protec-
ton to foreign residents. That is the
very least we can do.

AN English Earl has abused his wife
and treated her as any man should be
ashamed to treat any woman. She has
brought an action for divorce against the
titled fellow. But is that sufficient reason
for flooding the American newspapers
with columns of the disgusting details of
the brutalities of the Earl, and for dish
ing up morning after morning all the
nasty recitals of the divorce scandal?
