A HORSE ON MR. MUTH.

y "A Detective ~ Auctionecr.
Allegheny now has horse mystery that
Is more complicated than the bicycle that
became famous on the Northside few days
ago. The horse differs from the bicycle in
that the former is worthless. There is a
sad story connected with the animal.
Years ago when it was owned by ex-Coun-
Gilman Samuel Watson, figure in
Allegheny politics, the horse was a
dappled gray and a high stopper, but since
then the dark spots have faded, and now
his head, covered with u years of age and a
much tangled fetlock, is bowed with sorrow.
Several days ago he was turned out to die
in the streets by his present owner, but he
suburban residences on Observatory
Hill He went to the Gusky Or
phanage, and after DESTROYING several
neatly arranged flower beds demanded ad-
mittance, but was refused because he was
above the age of maturity. Leaving there
he acquired several small jags on the way
from neighboring rosebushes, hut finally
showed up at the residence of James Hun
ter, and remarked in his knowing way to
the eX-PreSldent OF Common COUNCIL Jim,
this is horse on you" ....-
Mr.. Hunter interfered, however, in be-
half of his newly made lawn and had the
animal arrested, and that is how 1t comes
to be q horse on Superintendent Of Police
Muth.
The horse was taken to the stable of Ed
win Zehner, near Jacob Barns tavern. The
horse has already run up considerable
bill for feed. Mr.. Watson refuses
to have anything to do with the
horse, and under the law the
Superintendent of Police is required to ad-
vertise him and then sell him at auction, but
the advertisement will cost more than the
horse will sell for. He will be advertised
all the same and Detective Kornman will
act as auctioneer. If he cannot be sold he
will be given to the city fallmaster.
Superintendent Muth says they are hav-
ing great deal of trouble on Observatory
Hill picking up horses and cows The peo-
pie who have always left their stock run at
large up there still continue the practice.
despite the fact it is part of the city and
the great requisite for a hill policeman now
is an ability to drive COWS.

LEARN TO SWIM

1t Should Be the First Lesson Taught In
Physical Culture
A whole sermon might be preached on the
folly Of going upon the water without know
ing how to swim from sad occurrence at
Bangor during the recent Cyclone that
swept over Northern New England, says
the Worcester Spy.
Prof Charles E Adams and his sister
were on the Penobscot river steamer that
was lifted bodily from the water and cap
sized. Prof Adams was rescued with great
difficulty, while his sister was drowned.
Now, here was q man who has been an ath-
lete for years and gymnasium instructor
ever since he left college in 1884, and who,
next fall, will go into one OF the most
prominent universities of the West as pro-
fessor of physical culture, and yet he is not
able to swiml
Such an accident ought to call the atten-
tion of those who are moving 50 earnestly
to meet the growing demand for physical
education to the serious defect that is now
prevalent. Boys and young men are trained
in all the WAYS that 60 to make them strong
and able 10 make their way In life with.
vigorous strength, but are left helpless as
infants when thrown into the water. Very
few members of society in these days do

Judging by the drowning catastrophies that

cially timely now when the hot weather Is

towards him.

what would grieve you 30 deeply.
She did not even know how deeply. Had
Sir James guessed her secret it would have
wounded him so sorely that the scar would
have lasted him bis lifetime. He thought
she was young, shy, lovely girl, with half
awakened emotions, and he naturally never
dreamed of the strong and passionate love
that had stirred her soul. He had never

THE POOR IN LARaH CITIES.

Philsnthroplsts, Instead OF Bestering Their
Condition, Bring More Into Them
The overwhelming tendency of modern
life is toward the cities, writes Joseph
Kirkland, in Se'itnsr's Magazins It almost
seems as if they would have to be walled
about in order to keep in the country the
proportions four-ffths at least - which
must remain there in order to provide food
for all. Everything done ''to alleviate the
condition of the poor in great cities" works
in the direction of bringing more into them;
and no argument or persuasion, or more
solid consideration of betterment, prevails
to get them out after once immersed in the
pleasurable excitement Of gregarious exist
ence; they would rather starve in a crowd
than grow fat in quietude-especiallv if the
''crowd" is sprinkled with aromatic
''charity."
Humanity, like other semi-fuids, moves
in the line OF least resistance and most pro-
pulsion. Idleness drifts toward where COM
miseration and alms-giving are most gen.
erous and unquestioning; love of drink to-
ward where beer and liquor are most plenti-
full. The free soup kitchen is . profitable
neighborfor the saloon. Labor is . blessing

denly surrounded by fierce natives, armed
with spears, who said to them: "You 60;
we cannot allow you here;" and the inhos.
pitable people literally carried the officers
and their instruments and rifles down to
the boat, which they pushed of, and then
waved "goodby."
On the water the British carried on their
coast survey, while 5000 natives sat along
the shore. At night the beach was alive
with fires, turning darkness into daylight,
so that no boat from the ship could reach
the land without detection.
a Nervy Young American.
A wealthy young American, William
Astor Chanler, left London on June 4, hop
ing to spend two years in this forbidden
land and to clear up its geographic myster-
les. He has been in Africa before as a
Nimrod, hunting big game around the base
of Mount Kilima-Njaro, and on the ele-
waited plains of East Africa But this
is his debut as an explorer, and the
Young man, not vet 25 years old
has most ambitious project in view. He
has with him the costliest outfit an explorer
ever took to Africa. His only white COM
rade is Lieutenant Won Hohnel, an Austrian
army officer, who, with Count Teleki, was
the first to push successfully into Gallaland
from the south. His caravan will number
200 men at the start, and every dollar of the
expense for a journey of about 3, 500 miles,
which Mr.. Chanler thinks will occupy two
years, is paid from his private resources.
He is a brother-in-law of Amelie Riyes
Chanler, and has home in New York City
filled with the trophies of bis African
hunts. He has been seen very little in New
tYorA, however, for since he was graduated
at Harvard he has given full bent to his
love for sport, and most of the time has
been chasing the elephant and bnfalo in
African jungles.
Other Famous Men Failed Here,
Mr.. Chanler has started now for the least
knowf part OF Africa, a region stretching
200 miles from Cape Guardafui to the
upper Nile, and of which scarcely more
than fringe has been revealed to us He
will attempt to win laurels in field where
Won der Decken, Luceran, Sacconi, Pana-
iosi and others have lost their lives. and
where q dozen explorers like Miles, Hide
brand, Graves, Revolt, James and Boreli
have failed completely, or met with only
moderate success
A single sheet of one of the largest maps
of Africa embraces an area of 80, 900 square
miles in this region, and not one geographic
fact shown on this sheet is based upon any-
thing better than hearsay information; and
our maps of the unknown horn of Africa
would be even more barren of detail than
they are if it had not been for the tireless
industry of the Rev. Thomas Wakefield, a
missionary, who, living on the East coast since
1865, has lost no opportunity of collecting
all sorts of information about Gallaland from
natives who have struggled down to the sea-
The large mass of manuscript notes he
placed in the hands of DR.. Ravenstein, the
leading authority on Africa in England
