THE WALLS OF SEOUL.
How a Party OF Travellers Scaled Them

Seoul, like Pelzin. and. what Is more,
like all the cities of Corea and China.
says a traveller, writing in the New
York Herald. Is surrounded 10y i'm
mense walls; and the gates Of the city
are closed each evening at set OF sun
The latter had been replaced 10y the
moon when we arrived at the foot OF
these great walls, which must be all Of
fifty feet in height Not wishing to

idea to have US conveyed to a secluded
spot where we were assisted to climb

4 score Of Coreans sat astride the top

gave to the Coreans an immense deal
of difficulty, and, besides, he. terrified

uttered howls Of fright. Thus was our
entry into Seoul something less than

HIS BARGAIN.
He Traded = Yoke of Oxen for . Volume
OF Shakespeare.

OF shakespeare
A noted character on the border
thirty-five years ago was old Jim
Bridger, of Fort Bridger, Utah This
man, relates the Youths Companion,
on one occasion visited New York, and
saw Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights
Dream" performed. He had no clear
idea as to who Shakespeare was, but
he conceived the most extravagant ad-
miration for his genius.
He returned to the fort, and resumed
the selling of stock and supplies to
travellers and emigrants. One day a
man came who had set his heart upon
buying a particular yoke of oxen, with
which, for some reason or other, Jim
was determined not to part.
The man sent a messenger one morn
ing to make a final appeal for the de-
sired yoke, but Jim proved obdurate,
remarking that there want no use
talkin' about it any more"
well, he wants EN-" said the mes
senger. He's a-waitin' for EN-; he
jest sets there readin' a book called
shakespeare and a-waitin' for them
oxen"
What ejaculnted Jim, springing to
his feet. Here you, gimme my boots
He ran to the corral fast as his
legs would carry him.
stranger" he gasped, breathlessly,
when he had reached the man, Jest
gimme that book and take them oxen"
oh, no." said the man; Il just
brought the book to read on the way,
not to sell"
stranger" returned Jim, firmly,
Jest you take them oxen and gimme
over that book
The man did so, after some demur-
ring, and Jim, who hired reader to
further his acquaintance with the oh
ject of his admiration, was never heard
to complain of his bargain, but rather
boasted of it on many occasions.

IHE BICYCLE.
A New Work to which That Useful Ma
chine Has Been Put

The bicycle is being put to many
strange uses in these days. 1t is no
longer an instrument for pleasure
alone 1t is used, of course, every
where as a cheap and rapid means of
transportation, and has the advantage
over the horse of not eating anything.
That its use in war has been contem-
plated has been well understood, and
that before long it will figure in the
army is very likely.
But it is doubtful if the inventor of
the machine ever thought anybody
would utilize a bicycle in the way that
it is used up in Berkshire. Mass, where
the boys can be seen at night, mounted
on their bikes, going after the cows.
The only difficulty is, of course, to
be able to- ride slow enough, and with
this sort of practice those youngsters
ought to be able to win a slow bicycle
race anywhere.

UPROOTING ALPINE ROSES.
What One Swiss Canton Protects Another

There is a reverse side to the beauty

notice which has just run the round Of

which are thus rendered useless for
cultivation or pasture. The Cantonal
Bau-dcpartment pays considerable at
tcntion to this form of reclamation,
and the uprooters of the romantic
flower. who are regarded as barharians
in other Cantons, are there regarded as
local patriots.

AFTER CUSTOM HOUSE JOBS
Collector BeCkwith BeSieged by Ap-
pliCantS and Their Friends.

None of the Ten Places at His Dis
posal Likely to go Begging-His
Slate Made Up But Not Yet Announ-
ced-The New Collector to Forward
His Bond To-day-He Expects to Be
In once Next Thursday.
Collector of Customs J. F. Beckwith
returned yesterday morning from Wash
ington. He spent most of the day receiv-
ing congratulations upon his appointment.
To-day he will attend to making up his
$50, 900 bond, which will be forwarded at
once. He hopes to be ready to
relieve Collector johnson upon the expira-
tion Of the present collectors term, next
Thursday.
There is good deal of speculation, of
course, as to the new collectors appoint
ments. He has given very little intma-
tion yet as to who they will be, but it is
pretty well understood that the slate has
been made up and that most of the places
have already been promised. With the
exception of Deputy Collector Johnson,
who may be retained for awhile, there is
an impression that there will be clear
sweep.
The collectors patronage consists of
ten appointments, deputy collector
$1,000, auditor 81 $780, statistical clerk
81, 800, marine clerk 81, 500, boarding off,
Ger 81 a day, two day inspectors So day,
messenger $50 month and janitor and
assistant janitor. Four of the ten pres
ent incumbents are colored.
Deputy-Collector johnson and Board
ing Officer Riley are the two oldest en-
ployes, both having been in office for a
long period of years, and both having
served during President Cleveland's for
mer administration. Capt. Riley has
been Endorsed by lengthy petition from
business men on the Bay for reappoint-
ment. Mr.. Beckwith will probably
announce the most of his appointments
Immediately upon his assuming the office.
He was closely looked after yesterday by
the friends of applicants for the various
positions at his disposal, but he had very
little to say except that his appointments
would be good men, capable to fill the
Offices.

THE MUsIN CONCERT.
Musin VIII Make Tour of the World
After Filling His Engagements.

The programme arranged by the Divide
Musin Grand Concert Company for its
concert here next Monday night contains
some of the pieces upon which Musin has
established his lasting reputation. Among
them are selections from Mendelssohn
and Paganini which few artists attempt
to play.
The programmes for the concert here,
which have already been prin ted, con-
tains admirable selections from many
noted composers, including besides those
mentioned, Schubert, Gounod, Meyer
beer, Verdi, Well, Rubenstein and Ran
degger, On the page opposite the pro-
gramme are given few brief lines of BIZ
ography of each of these noted compos ers.
Muslin is claimed to be the greatest vir-
tuoso on the stage to-day. His father
was wealthy banker and was greatly
opposed to his going on the stage, but his
musical talent was such that his friends
insisted on its being developed. This is
his farewell tour in this country, and after
it has has been completed he will make
tour round the world, Musin has been
offered the professorship of the Academy
of Music in Paris He played in Charles
ton last night, where great ovation was
rendered himself and company, and he
will play there this afternoon and to-
night.

THURSDAY NIGHTS FIRE.
The Houses Fully Covered by Insur-
ance.

The Houses Fully Covered by Insur-
ance.
Andrew Collins, the colored Waterman
of the Electric Railway Company, who
was arrested on suspicion at the Belt
Line power house fire on st. Thomas
street night before last, was released at
o'clock yesterday morning by request of
President Collins, no charges having been
preferred against him.
President Collins said that after in
vestigatioA he found nothing to connect
the Waterman with the fire. The claim
of the Waterman that he was asleep in
his house when the fire was discovered
appeared to be corroborated by the cir
Gums tances.
President Collins now thinks that the
place was fired by tramps, either mail
ciously or through carelessness. The
tramps, as is we'll known, have been very
numerous in that section this winter, and
have frequently made use of the unused
buildings for sleeping quarters. 1t was
next TO impossible for the fire to have
originated where it did without human
aid as there had been no fire in the build
ings in several months.
Only fourteen cars were burned and
not seventeen as was at first supposed.
Seven were motor cars, which cost about
$4,000 each and seven trail cars. which
cast about 81 900 each. Probably 1928, 900
would cover the value of the cars at the
time they were burned.
The total loss on cars and machinery is
between SAC, 200 and $50, 900. The loss is
fully covered by insurance in different
companies. The following schedule of the
insurance was prepared by the agents
yesterday

DAN DAILY IN TOWN.
He Is Anxious to Meet Some of the
Savannah Sports.

Savannah Sports.
Prof. Dan DAILY, the well known sport
ing man and pugilist, arrived from New
York last night on the Chattahoochee.
He is on his way to attend the CorbetJ-
Mitchell fight, but was requested by some
of the Savannah passengers aboard the
Chattahoochee to remain in this city a
few days and give an exhibition of his
skill
Prof DAILY is now on the lookout for
any of the local talent who would like to
go up against him for afew rounds. If
he can arrange il Prof Daley will not go
to Jacksonville but will remain in Savan-
nah and give an exhibition at the theater
on the night of the fight. The returns of
the fight would also be given for the ben
eft of those interested.
Prof. Daily managed Wongo, the Indian,
who was whipped at Norfolk Thursday
night by Charles johnson, for several
years and has been interested in sporting
ventures in this country for a number of
years. In speaking of the Corbett-M Mitch
ell fight Prof. DAILY said it would unques-
tionably be very close fight, but in his
opinion Mitchell will be the winner
Prof. DAILY says that Ed Smith,
of Denver, Is better man
than either Corbett or Mitchell, and,
in his opinion, can whip either one of
tnem. lie managed SmlJn Tor several
years, and considers him to be right at
the head of the list Of fighters. Smith has
already issued a challenge TO fight the
winner of the Jacksonville fight. He is
the man who fooled, the sports so badly
when he downed Goddard at New Orleans
before the Olympic Club last year The
betting was s to l on Goddard, but Smith
won a complete victory in fifteen rounds
If the local sports can arrange to bring
up good man against Prof DAILY it
would make a very interesting exhibition.
The latter is good, heavy man, though,
and it will require good man to make a
show against HIM.

The Savannah Rife Association has
leased the Wheelmen's Track Associa-

the first ranges in the south. Two new
ranges have been built, one 300 yards and
one 600 yards. These, in addition
to the 200-yards range, afford

The latest improved targets have been
built and electric dials will be put up.
The range will be formally opened with
