Life-Saylng Soap.

4 cake OF soap is said to have saved
the lives OF five men and boy off The
coast of New Guinea. The story, as told
in the smoking room OF a steamer going
to Brisbane by an old man, the owner o.
several vessels engaged in pearl fishing,
is reported in Mr.. Nisbett's ''Colonia

TIE Hermit of the DOMerY,

Four or five years ago the people of
New York talked for day about the
story ofHermit Coe OF the Bowery and
then forgot it. A dozen years before
Leonard Coe, that being the name he
was known by, had taken up his resi-
dence in Bowory lodging house. He
seemed very poor, but paid his rent
promptly, and spent few cents each
dsy for food. He was morose and
taciturn, could seldom be drawn into
conversation, and rarely left his room.
Whon he did he always carried with
him a brown paper package. Finally
he fell sick and was taken to hospital.
When told that he could not recover,
he sent for John Haller, former fell
low lodger, and informed him that his
real name was Baer, and that he had
selatives living in Lancaster, Penn. He
also made will, naming Hsller as his
executor, and intrusted to his keeping
the brown paper package he had SO
long guarded with jealous care. The
day following his death Hsller opened
the package and found to his astonish-
ment that 1t contained over S24, 900 i'll

had engaged in the publishing bust

retired with competence, and had
finally drifted to New York. There,
for some unknown reason, he had sunk

thrown it dangerously out of the per-

This was done some thirty years ago,
but the remedy proved Intellectual, and
at length the apparent peril became
so great that the tearing down of the

the work of demolition was lately

Why Wolves Have Become Scarce.

Says a recent writer: Notwith-
standing the fact that ever since the
settlement Of America the wolf has
been pursued with guns, traps, and
poison, 1t is certain that no blow was
ever dealt this race so severe as the
extinction OF the buffalo. Their
natural prey gone, the wolves turned
their attention TO the herds of the
stockmen, and for years now their
depredations have resulted in very
serious losses to raisers OF horses and
cattle on the northern plains They
do not attack the herds when they
are alarmed and closely punched to-
gether, but prowl about their out
skirts, trying to cut off the young
stock, which they can easily pull
down.
Sometimes small band of wolves
will roundup little bunch OF cattle,
which stand in 4 close circle, their
heads outward, prepared for the at.
tack. After circling about them fori
a short time, two or three of the
wolves will dash at the bunch, and if
they can scatter the animals it is the
work of an instant only to pull down
yearling steer with no greater ap-
parent effort than a setter dog would
use in killing a cat.

Trouble Brewing.
lated Press to the News.

BY Associated Press to the News
WILBURroN,I. T., July 5.-Con-
siderable excitement is apparent
here over what action Governor
Jones will take in the matter of
committing the death sentence i'm
posed npon seven Choctaws now
awaiting execution at this place.
The governor has received a message
from the authorities at Washington
asking if there is any author ty
whereby the chief magistrate of the
Cboctaws may commute sentence
Of death. What reply the governor
sent is not known, but the general
impression here is that the execution
will occur according to present ar.
rangements, al the Choctaw law
makes no provision whatever fer
communion of sentences.
1t is generally conceded, how
ever, that if the governor should
fully submit to the demands of the
general government for the release
of the prisoners, who are not really
murderers, such action would 60
far in the direction of allaying the
bad blood engendered during the
last Cnoctaw campaign. If the war
department is forced to arbitrary
methods in order TO qnell the pres.
emit trouble not few of the leading
Choctaws think the result would be-
disastrous in the end, and result in
the overthrow entirely of the pres.
ent government.
