The names of number of the CAPT.
talists who escaped robbery in the
katy" hold-up are given in the dis
patches, but the names of the heroic
express messenger who, with loaded
Winchesters pointed at his head, re-
fused to open the safe, is not given.
1t is remarkable, 10 say the least, that
in all accounts of a thrilling crime the
name of the only hero of the affair
should be omitted.-kansas City Jour
nal.
1t was little strange, but since the
first dispatches were sent out, Express
Messenger Sproule's name has been
blazoned from one end of the country
to the other. He disclaims the idea
of being a ''hero" and says any other
man would have acted just as he did.
He may be right but there are several
cases on record where express messen-
gers not only permitted their safes to
be robbed but shared in the booty
afterward.

The New York World announces
a 1OO-page edition to-day to celebrate
the tenth anniversary of the proprie.
torship of Joseph Pulitzer. This will
be the biggest daily newspaper ever
issued. There are several instances of
sixty pages having been printed in
one issue of a newspaper, but never
has 100 pages been reached. The
World for this one day will have
a handsomely printed colored
cover. As 100000 copies of
these have been ordered, it
follows that the World expects to is
sue an edition of that number to-day.
One advertisement in this stupendous
number will cost the advertiser IS, 900.
All this is interesting as illustrating
the marvellous growth of American
journalism during the past few years.
The development of the World since
Joseph Pulitzer became proprietor has
no parallel in newspaper history for
rapid increase in circulation and ex-
traordinary expansion in size and
news. no matter what envious rivals
NAV say.

A LIFE OF SOLITUDE.
Missourians Unable to Solve the Mystery
 of Hermit's Seciusion.

Missourians Unable to Solve the Mystery
 of Q Hermit's Seciusion. D
 A genuine hermit, with life's secret, only part of which he would reveal, is the curiosity that is creating a sensa- ton a few miles west of the town of Alexandria, Mo. He has for something over thirty-ive years lived a life of soli- tude, his habitation being a mammoth rock from which enough has been chiseled to form quite a good-sized room. For some reason known to him. self he refuses to reveal his name. It is known, however, through admis- sions made by himself, that just be- fore the breaking out of the late war the father of this unknown parsonage was wealthy planter, living some where in the state of Virginia, the ex- act location not being known. The son was somewhat disposed to be TO- mantle and seemed adverse to remain ing under the paternal roof, and at the breaking out of the war left the home of his boyhood and built his house in the rock near the Alexandria. That is the story told by the hermit himself, but there is an air of mystery surround ing him which leaves room for doubt ing the entire truthfulnesss of the same. The reason is that no one is al- lowed to enter the hillside house with out first showing beyond doubt that the visitor is only on curiosity bound. The place is well-stocled with all the latest periodicals and all the most pop ular works of the day. The matter is very mysterious and no one is able to account for the life of solitude which surrounds the unknown man.

MET IN OKLAHOMA.
A Family Reunited After a Separation of
 Seventeen Years.

Family Reunited After Separatlon ol
 Seventeen Years.
 Many queer incidents have been re- corded concerning the events which marked the opening of Oklahoma to settlement, and especially about the grand rush for homes, says the Philadel- phia Telegraph, but probably none have such an element of strangeness and TO- nance as the reunion of a family which had been separated for seventeen years. John Reed lived in Newport, R. l., in 1874 and had trouble in his home affairs. He and his wife agreed to separate, and as they had two children they each took one. They did not get divorce, as their religious scruples stood in the way, but went their own ways, the wife taking the boy, aged four, while Reed took the girl, aged seven. They gradually drifted apart, and for the last ten years had heard nothing of each other.
 One night just before the opening of the town of Chandler to settlement a young man came to the campfire of Reed, who was among those waiting for the opening, and asked for some tea for his mother, who was i'll from the ex- citement of the rush. Reeds daughter, now a young woman, not only gave him the tea, but went with bim to see if she could be of any assistance to the afflicted woman. During the visit the fact became known that both parties bore the same name, and Mrs. Reed be- gan asking questions and showed such interest that the young woman thought it strange; but as she had no idea that her mother was in the west she took no deep interest in the matter.
 When she got back to her fathers camp she told him of the woman with their name, and spoke of her curious questions. Reed at once became deep ly interested, and early in the morning went to the camp. His wife and he inn mediately recognized each other, and a reconciliation at once took place, and the two camps were merged into one. The new-found brother and sister were the happiest mortalS in Oklahoma, with the probable exception of the husband and wife, who will renew their youth with honeymoon in seeking a new home together, as they did years ago in the far east.

A Custom by Which tho Persian Rulerf
 Family Is Increased.


 Family Is Increased.
 Some weeks ago a youth of twenty tc twenty-one years old, dressed as peas ant, arrived at Teheran, says the Lon don News, and after wandering for a day or two presented hiu.s+ if at ono of the shah's palace doors and asked to be presented to Prince Naib-es-Sultan- eh, his brother. The porters and serv- ants, thinking that he was out of his mind, began to chaff him. The youth persisting in his demand of seeing the prince, the servants got out of temper and drove him away. He then told them that they would repent of their rudeness, because he was shahzadeh (shah's son). Naib-es-Sultaneh, having somehow heard of the incident, sent for the youth. When the latter arrived the prince asked him how he dared to call himself shahzadeh. Because am the son of the shah," answered the peasant. ''Shah's son! How?" "When the shah," said the youth, ''on his pilgrim age to Kerbelia some twenty-One years ago alighted in our village he saw my mother, then young girl, who pleased him and found grace in his eyes. His majesty made 'sigheh' with her. Sigh eh' is temporary marriage contract for specified time. It may be for few hours or for many years. Children born from the 'sigheh' have the same rights with those born from aghd, or proper marriage.] On leaving the place the shah gave my mother 'dest- khet' and 'nishaneh' a royal writ and a tol1enl, and told her: If boy is bern let him come to me with these tokens and will acknowledge him." Upon this the youth drew out of his pocket paper and signet and handed them tc Naib-es-Sultaneh. The prince found the paper to be in the kings own hand writing, and the slgnet to have formerly belonged to the royal treasury. On close examination of the youths physiogno- my he observed that some lineaments of his face greatly resembled those of the shah. Naib-es-Sultaneh believed the youths story, and after dressing him in a princely manner presented him to the king. His majesty, on hearing the young mans statement, recollected the event and observed the resemblance which the youth bore to himself. He or,:,, ar that the youth should hence forth be acknowledged as shahzaden, everything be supplied for his princely maintenance, and masters be appointed to give him proper education.

THE VOLCANO IN THE SEA.
A TunIsian Island That Suddenly Disap-
 peared.

A TunIsian Island That Suddenly Disap-
 peared.
 The submarine volcano which gave such bad shaking up to the island of Pantellaria recently is still receiving considerable attention from the Paris papers Pantellaria lies at the north east of Tunis, and the disturbance oc- cured about mile and half from the west coast of the island. The sight, says the New York Sun, was grand be- yond description. The waves went up like mountains and roared in an i'm mense whirlpool of boiling water, from the center of which came smoke and flames that rose far above the immense clouds of steam. All this was accom- panied by what might be called sub marine thunder of the loudest and deep est kind, while the water became black with the ashes of the volcano. Pantel- laria trembled, as well it might, and its few lazy inhabitants were thrown into the widest excitement.
 From the point where the phenome- non appeared on to the coast of Sicily, the bottom of the sea is volcanic, and Etna and Vesuvius are set down as the chimneys of the great furnace below. It is in the vicinity of this spot that the great submarine volcano of Giulia ap- pears from time to time lifting its cone far above the water and throwing up lava and flames; and when it becomes exhausted it sinks down again with terrific rimblings, while the sea dances at furious rate.
 There is a funny story in connection with this eccentric volcano. In 1881 Czar Nicholas sent some war vessels to reconnoiter the coast of Pantellaria with a view to building fortress there. Just then there was an eruption of the Giulia, which sent up an island six kilometers in circumference. When the sea became tolerably cool and calm this island was captured by the crew of a British man of war. They planted upon it ''the flag upon which the sun never sets" The guns boomed, the sailors cheered, and the band played ''Rule Britannia" At the close of the ceremonies the island began to shake, and soon it was discovered that it was slowly sinking down into the sea. Then there was grand slledaddle for the boats, and shortly after the British tars had reached their vessels the island was gone. It drowned itself rather than belong to the English. The Russians laughed, but they never got their fort resS on Pantellaria.

A Difficult Job.

A cocoanut tree that weighs six tons is to be transferred from Honolulu to the public park in San Francisco. In a trench around the tree, which stood in a grove near Honolulu, a massive box was built to inclose the roots. Above
 the box was a frame that had jack screws for lifting the entire mass. After the tree had been raised it was canted and its long leaves were gathered to- gether and tied. The nuts were wrapped in soft sacking. By hydraulic power the mass was raised on truck that carried it to the beach for ship

rHwARrINe CATTLE RusTLERs.
PouncIng on Their Sales and Compelling
 Them to Prove Ownership.

Pouncing on Their Sales and Compelling
 Them to Prove Ownership.
 Attempts to frustrate cattle rustlers on the western ranges have met with so many failures that the cattle raisers have started off on a new tack with a new law in Wyoming that permits them to bounce upon the proceeds of the rustlers' sales in the markets and compel the proving of property before they can get their money. With that protection the cattle men have partly abandoned the expensive methods of protecting stock on the open ranges and have employed inspectors to watch the rustlers in the markets.
 Under the law which was passed by the late legislature the stock commis- sion was organized. All of the money realized from the sale of all cstrays and cattle of unknown ownership shipped to Kansas city, Omaha and Chicago must be sent to the commission. Its in- spectors look after the interests of the small owners and keep the rustlers from imposing on the buyers. The money received is known as the estray fund, and it has amounted this season to more than fifty thousand dollars. The commission holds the fund until proof of ownership of share has been established. Cattle raisers are supplied by each county clerk every six months with lists of estrays that have been sold for which the commission holds the money. If cattle raiser can claim any of the estrays he contests with the rustlers before the commission. The claim must be entered within a year, because the money is turned over to the general fund of the state at the end of that period. The commission will not pay any of the money to the rustlers except on the peremptory order of a court.
 At present all cattle bearing rustler's brand, or believed to be of 9 rustler's brand, according to the in- formation obtained by the commission, are seized by the inspectors in the prin- cipal markets and sold as estrays or cat tie of unknown ownership. The rustlerS e swear and threaten, but they are asked in simple terms to show clear titles to the stock. The results have been so satisfactory that the commission has taken bolder step, on the ground that a bill of sale is not sufficient to estab- fish ownership and that any man who buys bunch of cattle from anyone be- lieved to be a rustler is worse than rustler.
 Three men who had cattle with re- corded and recognized brands bought small punches from an outfit that, ac- cording to the belief of the commission, belonged to rustlers, and shipped some to Chicago. They received the money for the cattle with the proper brand, but the money for the cattle with the suspected brand was sent to the com mission. Bills of sale from the sup posed rustlers have been sent to the commission at Cheyenne and suits at law have been instituted, but the com mission refuses to return a dollar of the money. The argument is that by fraudulent bills of sale and collision the rustlers might foil the efforts of the commission to prevent them from steai- inp cattle

THE ANHALTER OF BERLIN.
A PalatiaI Railway Station That Cost a
 Fortune.

Fortune.
 The most costly of all the Berlin rail way stations is the Anhalter station, said to have cost four million dollars. One can hardly credit the statement, as the train house contains only six tracks, says the Boston Herald. Most of the money was spent on the front building. It is simply palace. None of our pub lie buildings in Washington has an entrance hall which is at all comparable to the great vestibule and staircases of this building. Even the great railway stations of London are greatly sur passed by the Anhalter station, which is the terminus for trains running to Erfurt, Madeburg, Carlsbad, Halle, Cassel. .IFrankfort-on-the-Ma ain and many other points.
 At this station, as at the Potsdam sta tion, small trunks and all minor lug gage belonging to passengers are car ried upstairs to the main floor of the station by the porters. The heavier lug gage is taken up by the hydraulic ele- vators that play so important part in all Berlin railway stations. There is an enormous restaurant and waiting rooms on the track floor of the station. the first and second class passengers being carefully separated from t third and fourth class. The tracks leading out of this station are elevated and m past fve-story buildings for a long distance. The station is really in the heart of the city now, although thirty years ago the location would have been regarded as almost on the outskirts
