SITTING UP ALL NIGHT.
Some of the people are staying up all
night. On the night of August 81, 1886,
Charleston was visited by the famous
earthquake, which ruined many build
ings and caused many deaths under fall
ing walls. That shock came about 9
o. clock at night, or rather the first one
did. During the night many other Sc
we're shocks came, and, in fact, they con-
tinued for months. Slight shocks are
fel. here every few months, and it takes
a hard one to cause alarm and start the
natives running from their houses. To-
nights vas more severe than the average
shock in the last three or four years.
The accepted theory is that they are
caused by the slipping of vast parts OF
the STRATA lying beneath this section.

The suggestion that the Hamilton

matter. Since his death the matter
has been taken charge of by Willis L..
Ogden. The funds to pay for the work
have been subscribed by the members
of the club.
The statue is a great addition to the
few to be found in public places in
Brooklyn. The Lincoln at the park

One Of the Best Works of william Ord

The bronze statue OF Alexander
Partridge, was unveiled with public
ceremonies in front of the Hamilton
clubhouse at Clinton and Remsen
streets, Brooklyn, October 4. George
M. Olcott, ex-president of the club,
made the speech of presentation, and
the statue was received by President
James McKeen. Johua M. Van Colt
made an address on Hamilton as
statesman, and Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford spoke of Hamilton as soldier.
The statue stands in front of the
clubhouse in Remsen street, halfway
between the entrance and the street
corner, just within the iron railing
surrounding the club property. A
solid foundation has been laid to sup
port the pedestal of marble, eight feet
in height, on which the statue, ten
feet in height, stands The following
inscriptions have been placed upon the
PEDESTAL:

European Shipmasters to Adopt the Nudge

european Sh1pmasters to Adopt the Nudge
System for Paying Sailors.
The British board of trade is irving
to extend what is known as the Midge
system to such continental ports as
Havre, Dunkirk, Rouen, Antwerp, Rot
terdam, Amsterdam and Hamburg. in
order to prevent the systematic rob-
berry of sailors, who often lose the
wages for whole voyages in single
nightson shore. Under this Nudge svs-
tenn, says the New York Post, as soon
as ship arrives in port, board of
trade officer, specially appointed for
the purpose, boards her, and, after as
certaining how many hands wish to
proceed home without delay, obtains
from the master particulars as to the
wages due and the deductions charge
able to the men. Each seaman, after
vouching for the accuracy of his ac-
count by signing it, receives a
ticket for his destination with small
advance to defray minor travelling ex-
penses, and leaves for home as soon
as his services can be dispensed with
on board ship. The balance of wages
due to him is forwarded by the board
of trade officer, and thus his earnings
have chance of reaching his family
instead of filing the pockets of the
crimps. The superintendent of 'mer-
camille marine at Gravesend has been
sent to Dunkirk to make the necessary
arrangement for the introduction of
the system, and if successful there
it will be extended to other ports. 1t
is estimated that between 1882 and
1898 British sailors were robbed OF
two hundred thousand pounds in Dun
kirk alone.

RAID OF THE FLEAS.
Lively Insects Make Visit to Fashionable
Residents of Gotham.

New Workers have plague. The
wicked flea has come to town. The
Fashionable district between Eighth
and Eighteen streets and Third and
Fifth avenues has been invaded by
feas.
They come not as single spies, says
the Morning Journal, but in battalions.
They have entered every mansion and
hotel in this large district. They meet
the house owner at the door. They
dance on the dinner table, hold con-
ferences on the sideboard and prone
made in the drawing-room. They take
maps in the bedrooms, swim in the
bath and train their muscles in the
gymnasium. Wherever the house
holder flies he finds fieas.
1t is rumored that the feas were
brought to the district by wind from
Ellis island. A zephyr which passed
over some Russian immigrants on
Ellis island blew over the lower part
of the city and conveyed the feas to
Union square and vicinity. The feas
were so lively that it was thought they
came from France. In fact, they had
the vivacity of French feas.
Fleas reign throughout the entire
district, and their acrobatic feats are
the amusement and delight of many
spectators. They occupy the city
houses of those who have gone to the
country. They make themselves ia
miliar with those who are still staying
in town. They are jolly, lively and
irrepressible. In fact, they are the
humorists of the insect world.

INCONTESTABLE POLICIES.
Life Insurance Companies Issue The
Only in Europe and Central America.

Life Insurance Companies Issue Them
Only in Europe and Central America.
The policies written by some of the
leading life insurance companies of
this country are incontestable for any
cause whatsoever. If policy holder
commits suicide Immediately after pay
ing his first premium, and before the
ink is dry on his policy, his heirs will
receive the money just the same. That
is because the companies know that
life is the most precious possession of
every individual, and that very few in
deed will throw it away in order to
benefit an heir. The ''incontestable
clause" is found, however, only in the
American policies. Those issued to
Europeans, Central Americans and
South Americans do not have them.
One of the chief officials of leading
company recently said to a reporter
for the New York Sun:
''All our foreign policies are written
subject to cancellation. 1t is true we
discover very little fraud among the
European policy holders, but that is
because their schemes are so clever we
cannot run them down. The chief
reason for our writing less liberal pol

cause wars are so frequent and so liza

PIGEONS AND FALCONS.
The Latter Can Garry Greater Weight
and Make Better Time.

Falconry may yet be restored, as it
seems, though not as a sport, but as
part of the terribly serious business,
war. A Russian officer, Capt. Smoiloff,
has been tanning falcons to serve as
dispatch carriers. The falcon has sew
eral advantages over the carrier
pigeon, says the Westminster Ga
zette. Not only is he more warlike
bird than the meek cousin of the dove,
but he is swifter in fight and capable
of great endurance. The greatest
swiftness ever known to be attained
by the carrier pigeon is fifteen Ger
man) miles an hour, but this is the
rate of the ordinary fight of the fall
con. D'Aubusson, in his work on 1.-THE
Falconry of the Middle Ages" tells
several anecdotes of the extraordinary
powers of the falcon and length and
swiftness of fight. For instance, a
falcon which was sent from the Canary
islands to the duke of Lerma in Spain
made the return fight from Andalusia
to Teneriffe in sixteen hours, which
was at the express speed of sixteen
Germany miles to the hour. A Ger
lish miles, so that the speed of this
falcon must have been at the rate of
about seventy-fve miles an hour. A
further advantage of the falcon over
the pigeon is the greater weight which
it can carry. 1t is well known that a
very slight burden is an oppression to
the poor pigeon, so that dispatches are
reduced in size by Photographic copies,
in order to reduce the weight for the
feeble little carrier. Capt. Smoiloff
says he has found that a falcon can
carry weight of four Russian pounds,
or 1,64O grams thirty CRANES go to our
ounce), without diminishing it's power
or swiftness in flying. Besides, the
carrier pigeon may fall a prey to the
falcon, while there is small danger OF
any other bird taking the carrier fall
con prisoner.

Gold discoveries have been made in
nearly every part of the mining section Of
the state. This applies to both sides of
the main range and, although in many
cases these discoveries have been develop
ed to but small extent as yet, the in
dications, taken as whole, are sufficient
to justify the assertion that gold mining
will play very important part in the
industrial activity OF the state next year.
Although Cripple Creek is the most con
spicuous of the new mining districts, it
is possible that next year there will be
some six or seven camps producing
large amount ofgold ore every day. The
improved business outlook is due to
very large extent to the evidence that
gold mining will supply the lack caused
by the depression in silver mining. There
will be no question about being able to
dispose of gold bullion, and, Furthermore,
the appreciation OF gold will make every
ounce produced in the state more and
more valuable. The attention OF the in
habitants of the mining counties should
be turned with eagerness to the discovery
of gold claims and the development OF
those already located.

The Way That "a Colored Man Wanted to

Work the ELLEN En-
An excursion from birmingham to
Montgomery was run the other day.
says the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Her-
aid. A negro man appeared at the
ticket office in the depot and purchased
ticket for himself. Then he said to
the ticket agent:
BOSS, I want mother round trip
'scursion ticket for n corpse"
The agent opened his eyes in aston
ishment. An excursion ticket for n
corpse was something new to him, even
with his varied experience.
The negro explained: you see, boss,
my brudder died yesterda ay and l want
ter take dc corpse dow to Montgom-
cry and let de family view the mains,
and den bring 'em back to Birming-
ham an bury 'em. Dis will be heap
cheaper den fur dc family to cum up
here"
The agent saw at once that this was
a great stroke of economy and enter.
prise on the part of the negro. There
were probably dozen members of the
family, and tickets for them to Bir-
mingham and board while there would
be quite expensive. the corpse could
get the benefit of excursion rates to
Montgomery and would pay no board
while there. Thus the negro subscrved
the ends of economy and preserved his
respect for the grief of the family at
the same time.
