Six Months in Now York CITY.

Powell, the magician, in 1892, APP
peared at the Eden Musoe, one of the
most refined and fashionable places of
amusement in that great city, for six
consecutive months, to crowded houses
nightly. When it is known that Prof.
Powell gave each week of his engage
mont there nearly complete change of
programme, some idea may be had o,
the extensive repertoire of this great
wonder worker. His performances were
witnessed by over 200, 600 people in Now
York during that period and he was the
talk and amusement craze OF the fash
lonablc amusement circles there. Dur
ing the annual convention of the Chris
tian Endeayor Society in New York in
that year, it is estimated that over 8 900
delegates from that society alone wit
messed his performance. If you see him
once it is dollars to doughnuts you will
go again. There is peculiar charm
and fascination about his entertainments
that is irresistible.

THE POPULIsTs CONVENE.
Mr. FIagg Declined the Senatorial Nomi-
nation

MIR Flagg Declined tho Senatorial Nomi-
nation.
There was gath ering of the faithful
yesterday. Pursuant to an arrange
ment made at the legislative conven-
ton at Salem last Monday by the Popu-
> lists, the committee Of nine, I've from
Roanoke city and four from Roanoke
county met at high noon yesterday TO
confer with the delegate from Mont
gomery and Craig counties on the
advisability of nominating a candidate
for the senate to enter tho field against
j. Allen Watts.
The meeting was held in the lodge
room OF the Jr. o. U. A. M and was
silent, secret and sad. The newspaper
men were unceremoniously fred before
the operation of saving the country was
begun.
The nino delegates from Roanoke
county were on hand and so were three
Populists from Montgomery But before
the operations began all but tho dele
gates were turned from tho council
chambers. Josh Ward, Capt G. c. Temp
kins, Mr.. Shade, Judge Claibourne, Jim
Richardson and others filed slowly out
OF the room in the wake OF tho reporters
leaving the twelve disciples agonizing
alone.
R. S. Richardson, of this city. was
elected chairman and w. II. Lockett,
OF Roanoke county, was made secretary
The next business was to work on tho
establishment of All executive com mit-
tee from this Senatorial district. AS
nucleus w. G. Flagg, of Montgomery,
was made chairman and j w. Camper
OF this city, secretary. The braves then
mt THAR naiDt and no RI
gan. Some OF the delegates wanted
to proceed to the nomination and some
did not and the jury couldn't agree.
Alter stormy scene, in which there
was much wrangling, it was decided to
bring out standard bearer on the spot,
and the joo was offered to w c. Flagg,
fNmonigomery, who was present. Mr..
Flagg arose and told the other eleven
that while his heart was in the fight
and he was confident OF success, thore
were domestic reasons why he could not
make q canvass this fall. These
50 domestic occasions might add flavor to a
Presidential canvass, but it wouldn't
s-ssSa in this case This declination
knocked a hole in the bottom of the
7 proceedings, and most of the enthusiasm
leaked out.
Mr.. Camper had just received letter
from Crag, dated Thursday. asking in
formsMo{ about the meeting and it was
evident from this letter that the Third
partyites in Craig were ignorant of the
proceedings here. Some Of the dele
gates wanted to meet again last night,
some wanted to hold convention Mon
day, but the motion finally pre- vailed to
have the proceedings next Thursday in
order that Craig might have a chance.
There are four avowed candidates for
the empty honor of making the race.

Indie Is q Big Country.

The grand difficulty in talking to an Eng
lishman about India is that he always
forms picture of the place in his mind. 1t
may be accurate or inaccurate, but it is al
ways picture. He thinks of it either as a
green delta or a series of sunbaked plains,
or wild region with jungle and river and
farms all intermixed, or vast park
stretched out by nature for sportsmen and
sloping somehow at the edges toward high
ly cultivated plains. It never occurs to him
as regards external aspect there is no India;
that the peninsula so called is as large as
Europe west of the Vistula and presents as
many variations of scenery. East Anglia
is not SO different from Italy as the north
west provinces from Bengal, nor are the
Landes so unlike Normandy as the Punjab
isunlike the hunting districts of Madras.
There is every scene in India, from the
eternal snow of the Himalayas, as much
above Mont Blanc as Mont Blanc is above
Geneva, to the rice swamps Of Bengal, all
buried in fruit trees; from the wonderful
valleys Of the Vindhya, where beauty and
fertility seem to struggle consciously for
the favor of man, to the God forgotten salt
marshes by the Rann of Clutch. h.Londor

MILWAUKEE, April %. = Fourteen

ing the storm. During the lull in the
storm the men could be seen clinging
to the pumping machinery above the
wrecked woodwork. When the tug
Starkey towed lifeboat from the life
saving station out but one man was
found alive. He was taken off and will
recover. The captain of the lifesavers
was seriously injured.
The steamer Burroughs went out to
the wrecked crib and 10 bodies were re-
moved from the air shaft where IA met
their deaths. They were removed to
the morgue.
Two bodies have been washed ashore.
These, with James Miller, the sole sur
vivor, leave but one man unaccounted
for. His body is doubtless floating
around in the lake. Miller is doing
well and will live.

Pigeons Aboard Ship.

On the return of the training ship Ports-
mouth TO the Brooklyn navy yard from q
voyage to the Mediterranean she had q
large number Of pigeons aboard. The birds
were of the common variety and lived in a
coop on the hurricane deck near the fore
castle. The boys had procured them at
some port while the vessel was still cruis-
ing about. One day at sea, when all traces
of land were lost, the birds were released
from their prison.
The crew gathered on deck to see what
they would do. Some thought they would
not leave the ship; Others expected to see
them take their bearings, and then, like
carrier pigeons, fly landward. All were
mistaken, for after joyous sail over the
blue ocean they returned to their cage and
settle down to everyday life
They became tame at once and fond of
the seamen and boys, who fed them from
their hands. They constantly Gifted about
the decks, at times even causing annoyance
by walking about the gangway under the
busy sailors feet.
AT other times they would perch in the
rigging, seemingly content with their nau-
tical lives. In port they would fly ashore,
but always returned at night to roost in
their coop.
When at last the orders were given to
hoist anchors for home, many ofthe pigeons
were out on their daily fly. The sails were
spread, and the big ship was waited away
The boys and sailors all felt very sorry for
the disappointment the birds would meet
that evening when they returned and found
the ship had sailed.
But before night, when the land, like a
tiny green speck, faded from sight in the
twilight, there was suddenly futter in
the rigging, and the missing birds dropped
down and entered their cage
The hearts of all the homeward bound
ships company rejoiced. Upon their ar
rival in Brooklyn the pigeons showed them
selves as much at home in the air around
the great bridge and over New York city as
in any foreign port.-Youth's Companion.
