A curious procession once took place
at Brussels. One part Of the display
consisted of car containing an organ
played by n bear. There were no pipes
TO the instrument, but number of cats,
each inclosed IN a narrow cage, an
swered the purpose. They were so ar
ranged that when the bear touched the
keys OF the organ the cats tails were
pulled, and the result was anything but
choice music, 70 say nothing of the cru
city thus practiced on the poor AMI.

The Great Gulf Storm.

A late letter received from Biloxi,
Miss, gives a more hopeful view Of the
situation. Hundreds Of men are busy
in repairing damages caused by the
storm and in u few weeks everything will
be restored. The heavy rains which fol-
lowed the great winds did great service
in melting and washing away tho salt
debris that was left on shore. The
writer says, even the flower beds in
the Montross House yards were washed
clean and show no signs of t..:eir salt
bath" The wharves are being rebuilt,
and tho vessels high and dry ON the roa9
are being wrecked and removed. Ri

only one left standing along the en-
beach. The restitution in Biloxi Is

A Railroad Coachful Of Passengers stupe-
fed to Facilitate Robbery.
When the first section Of tho east
bound passenger train No. 8 on the Chi
cago and Eric pulled into the station
here the other day, the brakeman told
Policeman Halter, who was at the depot,
that all Of the passengers in one Of the
day coaches had been chloroformed by
some unknown person. The passengers
consisted mostly Of eastern people who
we're on their way home from the
Worlds fair, and the train only stopped
at q few places along the line.
After leaving Huntington the passen-
gers in the day coach all settled down in
their seats to take q nap, and after the
train left Decatur the brakeman was
passing through one Of the day coaches,
when he detected q peculiar odor and
noticed tL.at the passengers were nearly
all sleeping heavily. Their sleep ap-
peared so unnatural that the brakeman
grew suspicious, and going into one

to learn that they had been drugged and

Tho Midwintcr Fair to Re Used TO Circum
vent tho Chinese Exclusion Acts.
The Chinese village that is to be on
structed and maintained ut the Midwin-
ter fair may prove Of interest to visitors
from abroad, but the Chinese who are
back Of the enterprise did not originate
IL for that purpose, but In order to get
another opportunity to add several hun.
dred coolies to the present population OF
this country.
The Chinese believe that the resolu.
ton passed by congress granting to the
Midwinter fair the same privileges that
had been granted to the Columbian ex-
position-namely, the entry Of foreign
goods free and permitting to enter the
country the laborers, artists and Others
Of foreign nations connected with the
exhibits of those nations-will offer them
IN opportunity to land some more Of
their c%ountrymen.
They have placed the matter in the
hands Of their attorneys, and from the
expressions of certain prominent Chi
nese it appears that they have received
advice that comedies with their wishes
In the matter.
Like all the schemes that the Six Com
panies go into, 1t will be for making
money, and the plan they will pursue in
this instance became public ut tho Gus
tom house yesterday.
Already the scheme has been put in
operation, and negotiations have been
opened with coolies in China who desire
to become residents Of the United States.
Little Pete, on behalf Of the Six Com
panies and other Chinese interested, is in
charge Of the affair and will see that II
Is made a financial success.
Little Pete Is the go between In all
cases where money Is used for the illegal
landing Of Chinese, and he Is considered
m Of the shrewdest ''ixers" doing bust
ness at the custom house. He has been
given instructions to arrange for the i'm
p~ortation Of another gang Of supposed
actors, and for several weeks he hal
been in correspondence with those who
are to assist him In China.
Letters have been forwarded to Chins
announcing that all who desire to com,

Sentative Old Saybrook.

The town of old Saybrook will hold a
meeting in a few days to rescind a vote
recently passed appropriating money for
the building of a lookup. Since the vote
was passed the sentiment Of the town
has changed greatly, and now the ma
jority Of the people believe that the erec-
ton Of a building for the retention Of
violators Of the law would cast nm odium
on the ancient town. 1t is seldom that the
need of such IA building is felt in old Say
brook, and the people believe that q com
munity as orderly and law abiding as
theirs can get along without it.-Hart-

Moore to the scene, but Moody stood on

able looking revolver.
Officer Moore telephoned for assis.

A Curious VIII Contest.

A curious will contest, according to
Paris papers, is about to be tried in the
Seine courts. Five years ago a Russian
princess died, leaving a large fortune.
There was great surprise among her rel
atives when the testament was opened.
BY n of its clauses she left 5000, 900
francs to the person who would remain
u year in the chapel to DC erected above
her grave in the Pere Ia Chaise. The
body OF the princess, according TO the
legendary report, lies in a crystal coffin
in a wonderful state of preservation. No
one Of her relatives has been able to re-
main longer than two or three days in
the chapel. What will become of the
100000 francs is the question.

UNRAvELlNo THE MYSTERY.

Some New Light Has Been Thrown ON the
Blue Light Seen by Mrs. Carter.
An Oakland, (Ills.), correspondent Of
the Chicago Herald tells the following
story:
When Zach Carter's house south Of
Martinville burned last August q yesr
ago, and 1t was alleged he was crsmated,
the fact developed that he carried &C..
600 insurance on his life, although he
was always regarded as Q poor man.
How he could pay the premium on such
IN enormous sun Is explained by his
widow. About four years ago she was
visiting a friend at Harrisburg in what
was known as a haunted house.
One evening while out In the yard her
attention was attracted to a spot on the
lot by a blue light. She had q stick in
her hand, and going to the spot indicat-
ed by the light placed the end Of the
stick in the ground, when 1t began to
push and sway and move the dirt. A
box was thus disclosed. She took It to
her DON and found 1t contained Gil, 900.
She mentioned the fact to no one, not
even her husband, for two years. After
returning home she buried q part of the
treasure and kept the rest in the house.
That part, some $4,000. was burned.
Upon looking up the records it was
found that some months previous to the
alleged discovery Of Mrs. Carter a safe
in a lumber yard at Lawrencevills had
been robbed Of gil 1000. and the man
Penn, who was arrested for the crime,
said that the amount taken had been
buried, but refused to tell the place.
Detectives were Of the opinion that Car.
ter was an accomplice Of Penn, and q
warrant has been sworn out for Mrs.
Carter, charging her with receiving
stolen property. She has since left the
state,

Mourning Suspended,

Denmark was the occasion Of what ap-
pears to American eyes a singular pro-
ceeding. The Danish court is in mourn.
ing for Prince William Of Glucksburg.
On the royal birthday the lord chamber
lain announced that mourning was
suspended" for "a hours. For one day
accordingly all was joy and gayety at
F~redensborg. The next morning beht.

the castle, and the royal inmates again
began to mourn as hard as they could
for poor old Bill, whose spirit must have
been touched by this delicate attention.

A VIVID DREAM.

A Passenger Kicked Out y Sleeper window
and Threw Himself to the Ground
A young business man of Minneapolis
bought a furnace and had it set up on
Saturday. Yesterday he worked all day
showing his wife how to run 1t so she
would not burn the house down, and
last evening took a sleeper for st. Louis.
Near Fulton he had a vivid dream.
He thought his house was afire and
his family was locked up inside. With
yells Of desperation which fairly froze
the blood Of the other passengers in the
sleeper, he kicked in the door and found
the floor burned away, his wife and
everything In the house cremated, and
he himself landed in the cellar with a
heavy thud. The blow awoke him, and
picking himself up he found himself by
the side of the railroad track. CHANGING
about him, expecting to see the train q
wreck and the other passengers killed,
he saw in the starlight his train vanish.

ming rs miles an hour, and was unhurt,
say three cuts on his left leg, caused by
the broken glass.
The passengers notified the conductor,
and when the train was backed they
found tho man walking to meet it. He
was clad only In his nightclothes. 1t
was almost impossible to believe his
story, but his condition, and the deserted
berth containing his clothes, and the
broken window confirmed it.-Moline

New Lakes In the TERRITORY.

A dispatch from Elreno, o. T., says
that n Of the curious features Of the
late unprecedented rise In the South Ca.
madam river Is the formation Of numer.
GUS lakes along the bottoms Of that
stream. The sand has blown out Of the
bed Of the river in times past until a high
embankment is formed along the shores
OF the river, and behind this bank are
left the lakes upon the subsistence Of the
stream. They give every indication Of
%permanency, and some Of them are many
square miles In extent. The loss Of val
liable farm lands is very great, in many
cases the settlers being driven from their
homes and improvements.
