STOLE THE WRONG BOOTS.

A Prisoner Whose Tart Reply to tho
 Court Resulted in Light Sentence.
 In his "Persoaal "Reminiscences L. E. Chittenden tells many good anec- dotes The sentence passed upon a tramp convicted before Judge Elias Reyes of the larceny of the boots of United States Senator Dudley Chase is quaint compound of law and sarcasm.
 'You are poor creature" said the judge. ''You ought to have known better than to steal Only rich men can take things without paying for them. And then you must steal in the great town of Windsor and the boots of a great man like Senator Chase, the greatest man anywhere around. If you wanted to steal, why didn't you steal in some little town in New lamp shire, and the boots of some man who wasn't of any consequence? And then you must steal from him when he was on the way to Washington and per haps the only boots he had. You might have compelled him to wait un- til some shoemaker made him another pair, and Shoemakers never keep their promise. And perhaps by the delay some important treaty might have failed of ratification because he was not present in the senate. What have you got to say why you should not be sentenced to state prison for the term of your natural life for stealing Sena- tor Chase's bootS?"
 q have goe%o say that you seem to know a dern deal more about stealth boots nor what I dor' piped the pris- oncr.
 That is a sound observation" said the judge, ''and I will give you only thirty days in the county jail, not so much for stealing as for your ignor- ance in not knowing better than to steal the boots of great man like Sen ator Dudley Chase"

A TELAs POOH-3AH.

Ee Came from Kentucky and Ran the
 Business cf tie Town.
 "Some time ago. remarked a lawyer to Louisville Courier-J Journal writer, T had occasion to visit Texas. I stepped at little town one Saturday, about noon. intending to remain there until Monday morning.
 ''The proprietor of the hotel was a gray-haired fellow, well preserved, and apparently full of energy. was con- sequently not very greatly surprised when he informed me that he was also lawyer. He had big, stout wife, and 1t struck me that he could very well leave the hostelry to her while he practiced law. He disappeared shortly after noon.
 Il started out to see something of the little town, and, needing a collar, stopped in one or two dry goods stores to buy one. l must confess that I was somewhat staggered when found that the hotelzeeper, besides being law yer, was 9 clerk in dry-goods store = for it was he who smiled blan1ly at me over the counter. l extended my walk until night was falling, and as I ap- preached the hotel who did I see light ing the oil lamps in the main street but the hotel proprietor! The next morn ing, which was Sunday, I inquired of him the way to church. Come on,' said he, I'll show you.' He took me into the church and showed me 8 seat, after which he disappeared, saying he must go and ring the bell. In a few min utes it was pealing forth it's pleading: Come, o, come and soon the congre- gation had gathered.
 ''I was prepared for anything al- most, after what had seen of mine hosts versatility, and was not much surprised when he ascended the stairs of the pulpit and opened services. Then he came down again and n1anipu- lated the keys of the wheezy little or gan while the congregation sang. He then took up the collection, after which he again resumed the pulpit and preached as fine Q gospel sermon as I ever heard. When services were over and the flock had been dismissed with a fervent prayer, the pastor closed up the church.
 What sort of a man is Mir. Eo-and- so, anyhow?' I asked lawyer.
 "'Oh,' he answered, he runs the town generally He's killed dozen men, more or less, and he is the best shot with the revolver in this part of the country. He's the best poker play CT, too, I ever saw. He is from Ken lucky, tool"

AN UNLEARNABLE TONGUE.
Honduranian Caribs, 6 Muscular and Coal
 Black African Eace.

Black African Race.
 ''The Carlos of British Honduras" :" said Frank Fisher, manager of the British Honduras syndicate, to a Wash ingtOn Star representative, ''are pe- culiar people, and, unlike other natives of the tropics, do not mingle with the whites, holding aloof, for that matter, from the other natives. Originally from Africa, they still maintain their tribal relations and singular customs. Physically they are a fine race, being coal black and very muscular. Their language is harsh and guttural, its vocabulary consisting of only about seven hundred words. They cal count up to three in their own tongue and above that number count in French. It is almost impossible to learn their language. They are nOmadic and go from place to place along the coast. Some families have half dozen homes in as many villages. Some of the young women are comparatively good looking and all have most graceful and erect carriage. They carry water pitchers on their heads very skillfully. The
  denS on their backs that would crack the vertebr@ of a strong white man. The men are idlers. The women have no standing in the family relations and the wife does not eat with her husband nor do any of the females with the. men. They are as much at home in water as on land, and the women paddle the dugOut canoes. The babies learn to swim almost before they can walk. As race they are wonderfully cleanly, bathing several times day, and when the mornings work is over they are very neat in their scant attire. They are very flial, however, and when one goes fishing the first fish caught is for the grand father, the second for the father, and so on down the list until the fisherman comes to himself. They will not sell their fish to the whites or other natives until their own families are supplied. In brief, they are one of the few races in the world who have refused to inter mingle with other people,"

BISMARCK AS A LIFE-SAVER.
His First 1Ecdal Earned Through Pluck in
 Rescuing a Groom.

His First Medal Earned Through Pluck in
 Rescuing a Groom.
 Once, when Bismarck was a cav airy officer, he was standing with some other officers on a bridge over lake, as related by the Nashville American. As he was about to give an order his groom, Hildebrand, rode one of the horses to water close by the bridge. Suddenly the horse lost foot ing and Hildebrand, clinging to the animal, disappeared with it in the water. Before the other officers could collect their senses Bismarck had thrown off his sword and his uniform and had thrown himself into the lake to save his servant. By great good fortune he seized him, but the man clung to him so closely in his death agony that he had to dive before he could loose himself from him. Bis narck rose to the surface, raising his servant with him, and brought him safe to land in an unconscious condi- tion. The next day the servant was as we'll as ever. But the little town that had witnessed the brave rescue was in great commotion. They petitioned the superintendent, who obtained for the young officer the medallion flor rescue from danger" And now, on great oc- casions, the well-known Prussian safety medal may be seen beside the prOudeSt stars in christendom on the breast of the famous creator of united Germany. Bismarck, it is said, is prouder of his first medal than of all the rest put to- gether. One day in the plenitude of Bismarclz's power noble minister ap- preached the premier, and with tinge of satire asked him the meaning of this modest decoration. He atonce replied: T am in the habit sometimes of saving life-' The diplo1natist lowered his eyes before the reproving look which accompanied Bismarck s lightly spoken words

THE WORLDS FAIR r!mE-sALL
How It Will Be Handled and Controlled
 in lis Work,

 The fve-foot time-ball to be dropped at the worlds, fair will be made of can vas on steel frame. It will be wound up each day to the height from which it is to fall, and it will be set and cleo trically connected in such a manner that the breaking of the circuit at twelve noon will release it.
 The cable by which it will be con- trolled has already been laid, connect ing the new observatory with the en- tire Western Union telegraph system, the touch of button at the Washing ton end of it instantaneously trans hitting notice of the hour over three hundred and fifty thousand miles of wire
 When that button speaks the whole country will listen, and the hands of seventy thousand electric clocks all over the country will point to the cor rect minute and second. There are seven thousand such clocks in New York city alone. All railways, fac tories and industries of every kind pay attention to the signal Three min utes before noon each day all Western Union lines are cleared of business, every operator takes his finger from the key, circuits are opened, and at the instant when the sun passes over the seventy-ffth meridian the spark of in- telligence is flashed to all parts of the country. It requires less than one fifth of a second to reach San Fran cisco.
 The twelve o'clock signal sent from Washington indicated Il a. n. for Chi cago, 10 a. m. for Omaha and a. m. for the Pacific coast, the United States being divided into four perpendicular strips, and each strip setting it's clocks by the time of the meridian which bisects it from north to south. Thus each strip is only one hour later than the next strip to the east.

A POLAR PHANTOM.
The Grewsorne Mystery of Wan
 dering Iceberg.
An Unknown ship Incased in a Mountain of Ice Discovered in the Neigh borhOod Of Cape
 Horn.

It was a fearsome craft, d veritable ancient mariner of ship that was sighted by Capt. Squirting, of the Brit ish ship DrTlmcraig, down at the Horn, a few months ago. The story of this weird wanderer of the seas is, accord ing to the San Francisco Examiner, brought here by Capt. Atkinson, who recently arrived by rail to take charge of the British ship Goodrich. He saw Capt. Squirting at Queenstown, and had the tale direct from him.
 The Drumcraig left here six months ago and had speedy run as far as Cape Horn. There the usual westerly winds shifted to dead ahead and a sea full of broken ice. many of the bergs being very large, made navigation troublesome and perilous. One stormy morning just at daybreak, when the snow was falling so thiclkly that it was not possible to see more than a ships length ahead, a mountain-like berg drifted past the vessel. It was so near, scarcely a cables length away, that but for slight mishap, which had just made it necessary to heave to the Drumcraig, the vessel would have col lided with the berg. As it was, the ice mountain came so near that officers and crew all saw the grewsome burden that it borc-a full-rigged bark, with sail all set, frozen into the berg and shrouded in ice from mainmast top to copper bottom.
 The berg and its ice-bound prison CT were fully fifteen minutes drifting past the Drumcraig, and during that time all hands were closely studying the weird apparition. The vessel rest ed high on the berg, ten or twelve feet from the water line, and was buried in the ice as far up as her rail. The ice that was frozen over the vessel ap- peared to be two or three feet thick on the side next the observers. Capt. Spur ring thought it could not bemore than that, because with his glasses he could easily make out the outlines through the ice and could see that she was of wood and had a coppered bottom.
 From the dim outlines he guessed that she was sailing bark of ancient pattern of about the size and appear ance of New Bedford whaler. But there were left no boats, no davits and not enough of the rigging to decide the question.
 The three masts, the sails, the S pars and gear were all shrouded with a thick casing of ice, through which only their dark outlines could be seen. Some of the crew imagined they could see bodies of men in the rigging, but Capt. Squirting was doubtful, for his glasses did not increase the resemblance.
 His explanation of the ice-locked mystery is that the vessel must have grounded on a projecting edge of the berg, toppled over against the wall and there rested until it was frozen so fast that no movement of the ice noun tain could dislodge it. Then the ice had gradually grown up around it un- til its imprisonment was complete.
 The neighborhood was suggestive of danger, and the Drumcraig was headed in another direction as quickly as pos sible, and in a few minutes the uncan- ny phantom had drifted away toward the southeast into the storm that was strengthening its. letters of ice.

Metallic Tin on Cloth

A new process, invented in Germany, allows brilliant and flexible stratum of tin to be deposited upon cotton fiber. A paste is first made of the powdered zinc of commerce and white of egg and spread or the material by means of a brush. This is then coagulated after drying by current Of superhclted steam and the tissue is then introduced into bath of perchloride of tin. The metal precipitates on the zine in a fine ly divided state and after rinsing and drying the cloth it is passed through cylinders or calenders. which give bril- lance to the coat of tin. Beautiful metallic designs may be obtained in this way. It is stated that the process may be substituted entirely for the CT dinary method of ornamenting cloth with tinfoil.

Sailors, Sunerstitions.

The superstitions of actors would fill a book and so also would those of sail ors. But this, says the Boston Home Journal, has affected the amateur yachtmen, who are men of education and who might be expected to laugh at it. Notice the names of crack racers of late years, and it will be seen that the mystic seven has entered most largely into their selection. In 1891 the Adams boys," as they are called, had boat called the Beatrix (notice the seven letters) which was very suc- cessful. She was altered and renamed the Harpoon, which, in addition to the seven letters, had a lucky co. The Typhoon had the lucky seven letters and the lucky co, and was eminently successful, therefore. It is also lucky to have double consonants in the mid dle of the name. The Gossoon, a cut ter owned by the Adams boys, won all the races in her class in 1899, and in a previous year these same yachtmen misspelled word for the sake of gain ing the lucky. combination, and called a boat the BabboOn.

HEIGHTENED soLlvIANs.
They Thought an Electric Light Was
 Spirit.


 The Bolivian government recently attempted to establish a telephone line between Lapas and Lake Titicaca, forty-five miles apart, says the Wash ington Star. It was torn down and de- stroyed so frequently by tho Indians that the government was compelled to abandon it. The electric light plant in Lapas was preserved by adopting an ingenious method of overawing the na- tives. After the plant had been in operation but few nights it happened that there was an eclipse of the moon.
 The superstitious Indians believed that the electric light was absorbing or swallowing the moon. They gathered in a large body at one quarter of the
 town and moved upon the plant to de- stroy it. It was saved only by the in tervention of large body of troops
 The government the next day selected several representative Indians, took them to the power house, shocked them severely, then took them out along the line and shocked them again with the wires and informed them that the elec- tric light was an evil spirit and that they had better leave it alone. Since then they have had no trouble on that

SHOULD RESTORE THE QUEENE.
In concluding this report, for the
remainder is made up entirely of
statistical matter and disquisition
upon the trade of the islands and the
character of the population, Mr.. Blount
says:
"That deep wrong has been done
the Queen and the native race by
American officials pervades the native
mind and that OF the Queen, as we'll
as hope for redress from the United
States, there can be no doubt In this
connection it is important to note the
inability of the Hawaiian people to
cope with any great powers and their
recognition of it by never Offering
resistance TO their Entertainments.
1.-THE suddenness of the landing of
the United States troops, the reading
of the proclamation of the provisional
government almost in their presence
and the quick recognition by Mr..
Stevens easily prepared her for the
suggestion. that the President of the
United States had no knowledge OF
these occurrences and must know of
and approve or disapprove OF what
had occurred at future time. This,
too, must have contributed to her dis
position to accept the suggestions oil
Judge Widemann and Mr.. Damon.
Indeed, who could have supposed that
the circumstances surrounding her
could have been foreseen and sane
toned deliberately by the President oil
the United States?
"Her uniform conduct and the pre-.
vailing sentiment among the natives
point to her belief as we'll as theirs
that the spirit OF justice on the part
of the President would restore her
crown"
