J. J. Davidson, the Railroad
agent at this place, was in receipt
last Sunday of two pairs Of beautiful
homing pigeons, sent to him BY Cbas
ii. jones, secretary of the Fedora
tion of American Home Pigeon
Fanciers, Of Philadelphia. The
birds. all bearing distinguishing
marks, were sent with Instructions
to liberate them upon the first fair
day, that they might make the race
fight back TO their Philadelphia
homes. The birds are fine specimens
of their kind and the result of the
match will be watched with consid-
erable interest, especially when the
distance to be trayersed is consider
ed about 1900 miles on an air line.
The birds were liberated Wednesday
at 40 a. M, under the most favora-
BILE conditions of wind and weather
and took a northeasterly course.
tits reported that there is heavy
wager made on the two pairs, and
the object Of the trial is TO test their
speed. The distance from Lafayette
to Philadelphia on an air line is
some thirteen hundred miles, which
the birds are supposed 10 make in
two or three days.-Lafa5ette ADJ

A Terrible Disaster

A Victoria (B. Co. special to the
World says: The steamer Empress
of India, just arrived from Japan,
brings additional details Of the dis.
astrous volcanic eruption on Great
Sangir Island.
Without any warning signal, with,
out any signwhateYer of impending
disturbance, the Ganong Aroo vol
cano blazed forth on June 7, and
within twentyfour hours the whole
of the prosperous surrounding coun-
try was devastated. The loss Of life
is something frightful, but no esti-
mate can be made. Some place it
as high as 10000,
The captain of ship which took
assistance to the sufferers says that
10000 is not too high a figure as an
estimate of the number Of dead. A
thousand bodies have been picked up
on the shore and many were found
floating in the sea.
The whcle island is completed
devastated, and although the violent
eruption has ceased, volumes Of
smoke are rising, accompanied BY
steam and ashes. Inhabitants of
Sangir Island, living within the
shadows of a dormant crater, had
TILED the soil and prospered, their
chief industry being the growing of
nutmegs, cocoanuts and grapes. the
product being regularly shipped
abroad. The villages and towns
were well built and had schools and
churches.
The awful devastation began at
5 o'clock on the morning of June Z.
There was a terrible rumble, col
umn of ruddy flame shot up from the
crater as high in the heavens as the
eye could reach, and Immediately
afterward hot ashes were falling like
snowfakes over the whole country.
Dust was flying in all directions,
and, from the time of the first explo-
sion until 9 o'clock tnat evening
fierce volumes of fame, smoke and
showers of large stones were belched
forth, followed by rain, which fell in
torrents, bringing down with it
THE CLOUDS OF ASHES
that were flying through the air.
This continued all night and the
whole of the next day.
Earthquakes began June 8. Viii
lage after village was engulfed,
hundreds Of people dropped into the
great cracks in the earth. The
whole country is under o layer of
mud, ashes and stones. All vegeta.
ton is either burned up by the awful
heat of the volcanic fires, or has
been destroyed by dense showers of
ashes and dust. The country around
Gnnong Aroo and the sides OF the
hills were still steaming and sniok-
ing on jane 25, numerous volcanic
jets throwing up columns of mad
end stones, which fell in showers
over the district, forming into hot
streams, which in their downward
course carried everything before
them.

The Smart Country Marshall was
Above Taking Assistance From
City Detectives.
Detective White tells a funny story
of a case that happened while he was
in Chicago. A country marshal came
into town to arrest q man wanted
within his Jurisdiction for embezzle-
ment. He called at Police Headquar-
tiers, stated his case, but spurned all
proffers of assistance from the detec-
tives to "ring i'm on his cases, and he
guessed they couldn't give him any
printers" anyhow. A friend of his
was to point out through the glass
door of the attorneys office the man
wanted, and Mr. Marshal was to go in
and arrest him. The scheme worked
beautifully. The Marshall greeted his
man with the self.satisfied feeling with
which q cat plays with it's captive
mouse before making ameal Of it, and
allowed that his prospective prisoner
wasn't expecting him. He then DELHI
erately took out the warrant and read
it with many a flourish. Then fold
ing it. he said; "You are my prisone
sir; come with me-" "WelI, guess
not" said the man, the look OF sur
prise on his face turning to a broad
grin of mirth. "Why, a-a-ain't you

He Threw the Sultan's Watch over
board and Then Went Fishing
forIt,
During the passage on the yacht |
vas brought into close contact with
the Sultan and noticed that he had a
most. magnificent watch, which he
consulted and handled as if it were the
apple of his eye" writes Hermann in
the North American Review. '"This
OF course was good thing for me, for,
as 1 was performing before him per-
sonally, it was not etiquette to take
anything from the audience. l there
upon asked him to take out his watch
and show it to me, which he did. /
then said:
"Will your imperial master allow
me to throw this watch overboard?"
He laughed at first, but O. second
afterwards his brow darkened and he
looked little bit as if ne was offend
ed with me for making the request.
Ell said /, Il do not return the
watch to you exactly as you gave it
to me, you may put ME in irons for
the rest of my life if you want to-
1.-THE Sultan looked me straight in
the eye, with u piercing glance for q
second, handed the watch to me, and
instantly threw it into the ripping
waves of the Bosphorous. The yacht
careened over, for every individual,
from the cabin boy on theforcastle to
the Sultan himself astern, rushed to
the side and looked overheard after
the watch. l felt that if anything
went wrong with this trick /
certainly should be put in irons; but

of showing my anxiety, at once pro-
ceeded to do a little fishing, while ev-
eryone one looked at me, not so much
with astonishment, as with pure, dis
belief in my ability to recover the
watch, which was not only one of the
things in the world the Sultan liked,

than any. watch l myself had ever

be prosperous, for i'll q few minutes

safely on the deck. l brought it be-

it was when he handed it to me.

his blue-blooded Pashas to the sail

howl of delight that foated over the
beautiful Golden Horn and re-echoed

Respectful.

In Quito, according to Mr.. Whym-
per, it is customary when visitor
takes off his hat on entering room,
to beg him to put it on again; and in
the absence of permission, leave isgen-
orally requested.
This custom is due to apprehension
that cold will be taken ii the head is
uncovered. In Quito there are no
stoves, fireplaces, nor chimneys.
The same persons, on going out of
doors, take off their hats to flashes of
lightning, no matter if rain is falling;
and when the streets are busy and
lightning is abundant, q grotesque eff
feet is produced by these salutations,
which seem to be regarded as q duty
by all well-behaved persons, and are
performed as punctiliously as the
homage paid to religious professions.
