THE WIDEST RIVER.
The Rio de In Plata, Whose Banks Ara

The Rio de Ia Plata, Whose Banks Ara
125 Miles Apart.
Were it not for a decided difference
in the color of the water you would
never know when the Atlantic is left
and the Rio de Ia Plata entered, says q
writer to the Philadelphia Record.
The high-rolling, white-capped pillows
are the same and no land is visible,
for the great river which James Diaz
de Soils discovered is one hundred and
twenty-five miles wide at its mouth,
though with an average depth Of only
fifty feet. Sebastian Cabot, who ar
rived in the year 1920, soon after the
natives had murdered poor Don Soils,
dubbed it River of Silver, not on &C
count of it's color, which might have
won for it the more appropriate name
of Golden river or River of Chocolate,
but because he had wrested quantities
of silver from the Indians who swarmed
its banks, and naturally imagined that
an abundance of precious metal re-
manned in the vicinity. In point of
fact the terms Argentina and Rio de. Ia
Plata (both meaning the same thing
with reference to silver) are misno-
mers, for no metals of any sort, pre-.
cious or otherwise, are found along the
banks of the mighty stream or any.
where near it, and the scanty argentif-
erous deposits in the hills of the inte-
rior have never been worked. The In.
dams aforesaid probably obtained the
silver which SO excited Spanish cupid
ity from Peru and Bolivia, by some
primitive system Of internal commerce
known only to themselves. To this
day metals do not figure in the exports
OF the adjacent countries-Uruguay,
Paraguay and Argentina, but such
prosaic articles as hides and tallow,
horns. woods, preserved and refrig-

HIS CHOSEN HOME.
Lovelorn Man Who Has Lived in jail
Twsnty-Three Years

Twenty-Three Years
William Rothwell has been in the Dcd-
ham Mass Jail twentv-thrcc years.
EUthwell is sixtv-eight years old. and
for the many years he has been in Jail
he has made and mended the clothing
II hundreds of prisoners. Rothwell
came from a wealthy family i'll Eng
land and was well educated. When
first known in Dedham he was arrested
by Officer George +. Morse :Dr drunken
ness. While serving sentence at the
Jail he showed aptness as a tailor,
although never before having had ex-
perience at the trade. After serving
his sentence he was given some money
by the sheriff or officials in charge Of
the Jail. and he left town. He re-
manned away but few days, however
Upon his return he went to Officer
Morse and requested that n charge be
made against him either of drunken
ness or vagrancy. A charge was made,
he pleaded guilty and he was returned
to Jail, and ROthwell has continued
this course for the last twenty three
years.
countenance shows refinement. He
has become very deaf. He can be seen
by any visitor in the guard room Of the
jail seated upon his bench, plying his
needle through the garments worn by
the prisoners. lie has a brother, q
wealthy merchant in New York city,
who recently visited him. He has been
repeatedly entreated by his relatives,
not only in New York, but in Lanca-
shire, England. to leave his prison
home and live with them, but he says:
Il am contented in the home that
chose twenty-three years ago, and l
shall not leave it 50 long as 1 can re-
main there, either by hospitality or le-
gal sentence by the courts"
Rothwell's life has romance. When
young man at college he fell in love
with a wealthy young English lady.
She accepted his attention as sutton
Money he had in plenty, and being
young, spirited and kind Of heart had
many boon companions. He began to
drink and the young woman discarded
him. He then left his native land and
went to Australia. For several years
none of his relatives knew where he
was, until twenty-three years ago
he sent letter to his mother in
England, telling her where he was. He
has the freedom of the Jail at Dedham,
and the guard room would be lonesome
to the officers without his presence.

AFRICAN CATTLE PLAGUE.

Thousands Have Died In the Past Year
and the Epidemic still Spreading.
Within the past year and half ter
ribie epidemic has destroyed millions of
the cattle of Africa and inflicted crush
ing blow upon the pastoral tribes. The
plague of thirty-five years ago worked
great destruction, but, according to the
New York Sun. it cannot be compared
with the present affiiction. 1t would
be of incalculable benefit to the natives

is carrying off their cattle We're stopped.
No competent person has yet reported
upon the nature of the plague and its
remedy. The symptoms are debility,
rapid wasting away, and refusal of all
food. The plague has also practically
exterminated all the buffaloes in re-
gions where they once roamcd in great
herds. The results of the epidemic have
been most disastrous in all the cattle
raising countries of the Souaan, from
the regions south of the big northern
bend of the Niger river for two thou
sand miles east almost to the Indian
ocean. The first news concerning the
plague came in letter written by Capt.
MOnteil. at Karo, on January 6. last
year. He said he first observed the
plague in the district of Liptako. west

A ROYAL INDIAN.
The Prince OF Wales Belongs to the Ne
hawk Tribe.

The Prince OF Wales Belongs to the Ne.
hawk Tribe.
There is living in Europe . middle
aged gentleman. who, many years ago,
was elected chief of the Mohawk
tribe Of Indians. This gentleman, says
the New York World, not only comes
from ancestry both old and powerful,
but he is also heir apparent to one of
the mightiest thrones in the world. He
is Albert Edward, more Familiarity
known as the prince Of Wales. When
he becomes king Of England he will
doubtless be called Edward VII. In
1860 he visited the United States and
Canada, and during that year occurred
his election as an Indian chief. He was
probably present at this interesting oc-
casion and perhaps an Indian name was
given to him.
The Mohawk Indians, who thus hon.
ored the prince Of Wales, are one of the
famous Iriquois nations, and as . ma.
ton their home is now in Canada. Their
proper name is Agmegue or Gagmegue.
The celebrated Joseph Brant was .
Mohawk.
Does it not seem like fiction to read
that tribe of North American Indians
can claim among those whom it has
elected chief man who not only comes
from distinguished European ancestry.
but is himself the heir apparent to .
mighty European throne?

HERRING ARISTOCRACY.
The First Fish OF the Season Sold ut Yer
HIGH Pricca In HoIIaud

The First Fish of the Season Sold ut VERY
High Prices In Holland.
Needless to say that, being so sur
rounded by water, the Dutch are great
lovers Of fish. Indeed, social rank il
indicated by the consumption of fish,
and strange to say that for this pur-
pose the humblest of all fish. the COM
mon herring, has been select ted.
At good restaurant at Amsterdam
I asked for thoroughly Dutch dish,
and to my great surprise small raw
herring was served to me, and for this
strange dish was made to pay a very
large price. In answer to my inquiries
was informed in a particular tone in
dicative of something surprising and
wonderful that it was a new herring.
was further told that new herring
cost few weeks ago as much as one
dollar each. / protested that in Lon
don new herring were often sold at ono
cent each or three herring for two
cents. In answer to this was smiling
~ informed that in Holland herring
were not during the season any dearer;
only, though just as fresh, they were
not called a new herring. The point
is to eat a new herring, and new her
ring means herring out of season, or
the first herring that heralds the COM
ing season. 1t is these rare and early
herring that are sold at one dollar
each. Then the price falls to half .
dollar, then to twenty cents, to ten
cents. to five cents, and finally to one
cent or less.
When the new herring are first an.
nounced Dutchmen inquire Of one an.
other: Have you already eaten q new
herring?" If you are able to answer
eyes" early in the season then you are
considered a man of means and impor-
lance. But if you continue for long
confessing that you have not eaten any
new herring then your kind and char
table friends conclude you must be
involved in serious financial difficult
ties.

Art OF Poisoning,

All that eminent chemists know about
poisons has lately been told to the
crowd Of interviewing journalists who
have waited upon them, and the papers
have published columns upon columns
of toxicology, says Paris correspond
ent of the London Truth. Everybody
now knows that there are animal aka
loids arising from decomposition which
are deadly poisons, but whose traces in
a corpse are no proof of suicide or muir
der, because body itself produces ex.
aetly the same alkaloids soon after
death. NJ. Naquet, who. after being
fascinated by toxicology, turned natur-
ally to politics, tells US that this subtle
poison can be manufactured with the
greatest ease by those who understand
how to do it. Inquiring people who
have taste for murder combined with
chemistry will doubtless master the
process as the anarchists have already

"SAILOR" TO THE RESCUE.
An Entire Crow saved by the Intelligence
OF q Dog.

An Eotire Crew saved by the InteIligencs
OF Dog.
About twelve miles from Halifax,
writes Canadian correspondent, lies
Cow bay, picturesque inland sweep OF
sea, where on the calmest day the
waves break in long lines of surf and
foam, rushing shoreward with tumult
and an exhalation Of strong, invigorat-
ing sea air. But under the lash of .
southeast storm the waves come tum-
bling furiously landward, towering
mountains high and laundering upon
the sandy coast with . roar that can
be heard miles away.
1t was in such gale in October, 1891,
that the schooner Dora, laden with
Goldfish and bound for Halifax from st.
Johns, Newfoundland, was driven into
Cow bay, and on the dangerous shoals
lying some way out There she lay
laboring heavily, disabled by the loss
OF her maintopmast, with the sea sweep
ing her deck, breaking the deck-houses
and bulwarks and smashing the boats.
The crew, fearful of being washed
overheard, dashed themselves to the
standing rigging. They had nothing
on board to signal the shore except q
pneumatic fog-horn, which was kept
moaning out the sounds of distress.
They were heard by a family named
M, living close to the beach, and by
some fishermen, who all fastened
down to see if anything could be done.
But the rope that was flung out time
and again only fell far short into the
sea.
At last, when all efforts seemed In
vain, Mr.. M thought Of sending out
q line by his dog Sailor" a fine New
and powerful swimmer. A
cod line was fastened to his collar.
The noble animal seemed to understand
what was required of him, as with
bound he bravely answered the guiding
hand and voice of his master.
He plunged into the sea, and, though
swept ashore several times by the i'm
mense waves, at last reached the
schooner. where he was hauled ON
board by the shipwrecked crew.
A small rope was fastened to the linz

An Express Company's Detective Who Laid
Out Two stage Robbers.
Zone day in October, 1877. | was
staging it in northern California" said
Thomas NJ. Spencer to a st. Louis
Globe Democrat man. There were
six of us in the coach. We were talk
ing about stage robbers. Suddenly
there was 4 halt and one of the party
said; Speak of the devil and he will
appear Well, we all got up and stood
in line and gave up our purses and
watches. The driver had thrown off
the mail bag and the Wells-Fargo safe.
There were two robbers, neither of
them masked. They were not polite
like the knights of the road of ro-
nance, but swore continuously. The
job was done in about five minutes, and
the robbers told the driver to go ahead.
We did so for half mile or so, when one
of the passengers, a silent man whom
I had taken for commercial man,
said to the driver: Go slowly and
wait for me at the ford He tken pro-
duced a Winchester from the bottom Of
the coach and started back over the
road alone. who is hep we asked the
driver. 'Wells-Fargo man, 1 guess;
never saw him before, but guess he
knows his business. If he comes back,
he will have got them; if he don't,
they'll have got him.
Twenty minutes later we heard
some rapid firing. We stopped at the
ford. Nearly an hour passed, and then
the man who had gone back appeared
on the trail. He walked slowly, as if
in pain, and q bloody handkerchief
was tied about his head. Drive baek
and get the box he said to the driver.
Did you get 'eln?' asked the driver.
Both of EN-, he replied. We drove
back. In the middle of the road where
we had been held up both men lay
dead. The Wells-Fargo detective, cal
culating that they would stop to rifle
the mail bag and the strong box, di-
vide the plumber and then separate,
had quietly walked back. One of them
he dropped with his Winchester before
he was suspected; the other got in one
shot before he fell, and that had
struck the brave man glancing blow
on the head. Our property was all re-
stored to us. We helped bury the dead
robbers by the roadside. The brave Of
ficer refused to accept the purse we
hastily raised for him."
