The band went by team to Milaca,
Tuesday afternoon, stopping at the
Mallette House, in Foreston, for sup
per, where they ate until the arrival
of the baritone player and drum
major who stopped them, and gave
them right oblique out Of the dining
hall. Two or three pieces were played
in honor Of Hon. I'll. r. Mallette.
Several extra horns were taken into
the band, and they went on their way
to Milaca, to do their part in the grand
Republican rally and listen to the

There are lads bow employed as pages
In the house and senate who have un-
doubtedly embarked on careers which
will revolve about the huge marble build
ing on Capitol hill. Some one of them
may live TO step into the shoes Of Cap
tain Bassett. for instance, the aged and
digui6ed assistant ~doorkeeper of the SEN
ate, who began his services in the upper
chamber over 60 years ago and is APP
parently good for several years more.
Some Of them may become plain, ordi-
nary, everyday doorkeepers Of the house
or senate.
There is one mar watching = senate
door these days who has occupied that
one postum for IA years. For years be-
fore he began this work he was similar
ly employed in the house Of representa-
tives. The pay Of a doorkeepor is not
very large and the distinction which at
taches to the place Is absolutely nil. the
work Is not arduous, however, and the
man who fulhlls It does not have to use
either his hands OF his brains to any ex-
tent-a fact which seems to have had
weight with some Of the doorkeepers.
II the parents Of the lads who are now
running about the capitol at the beck
and nod Of senators and Representatives
were to be guided by the experience Of
persons who have held these positions,
they might display less anxiety to con
demu tleir offspring to an undesirable

prohIetn~fr Cttv.


Manville w. CTesworth, an English
mining man wen known throughout
southwest Mexico, arrived at Mapimi,
Mexico, recently from a long overland
journey through the Sierra Madre noun
tains. his starting point being Culican,
near the Pacific coast, in the state Of
Sinaloa. He claims to have visited q
section Of country never before visited
by a white man Of the present genera
ton, and that he discovered a large and
beautiful deserted city.
He told the correspondent that the
wonderful city is situated about 80 miles
west Of Lake Colorado, in the recesses Of
the Sierra Madres. 1t occupies a basin
about 10 miles long by eight miles wide.
Perpendicular cliffs surround the basin
on oil sides, rising TO a height Of hun
drods Of feet. The only entrance to the
city is through a deep canyon, which has
a width Of about 80 feet. Mr.. Cresworth
states that he stunt ed onto the secret
entrance quite by accident. He gives a
vivid description Of the deserted city.
The buildings, no says, are construct
ed Of redstone blocks resembling granite.
The business blocks are two and three
stories in height and are entirely differ
ent in architectural design from the
structures built by the Aztecs and Span
iards. The streets are very narrow, but
are laid out in regular order. In the city
is a small park which is overgrown with
rare flowers and tropical vegetation. He
entered the business houses and decay
ing residences, bat found very little Of
value except some remarkable and
strange ornt lents made Of stone.
lie believes that the city was looted at
the time that 1t was deserted, whenever
that may have been. No records or writ
ings Of any kind were found, nor did ho
discoyer any skeleton that would give
an idea as TO tine race Of people who at
one time Inhabited the city. None of tho
nativeE ~ Lhat section Of country had
ever heard Of the deserted city. Mr..
Crossword is making diligent inquiry Of
them. Mr.. Creoworth's story is vely
startling and remarkable, but it 10 be-
heved by those to whom he has related
his experiences. He Will organize an eK-
petition to make n thorough exploration
Of the city.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A New Slang Phrase Which Has Caught on

During 6 recent discussion between q
newspaper man and State Senator Owens
Of Brooklyn on the merits of a third per-
son the senator said; Why that man Is
no good. He's not even decent. Tho
fellow wears rubbers."
The newspaper man was at u loss TO
understand the senator's meaning, but
not wishing to appear behind in tho
slang Of the day said nothing. The next
day he approached a well known poll
tician and asked him about it.

the very latest slang expression. 1t sim
ply means that "a man Is a sneak; that,

police museum in the country, one of the
things they'll show you is the rubber

a rubber sole and a canvas upper, and
the only reuson it Is worn 10y crooks is
because it gives them an opportunity to
creep up behind their victim without

Another new bit Of slang is, "H1

that he or she, whichever sex ID referred
to, plays no part. Both Of these express
sions are almost brand new, and the
first, at least, is likely to become mucl
in vogue with people who like to piece

The frugal Servians just now are torn
by conflicting emotions. King Alexander
and his %erratic, disreputable father have
managed between them to ALLEVIATE what
little love had been left in Servia for the
Obrenovitsch dynasty, and If the Kara
georgevitch pretenders wero reasonably
respectable and fairly disinterested they
could obtain the throne without much
difficulty. But Prince Arsene and Prince
Peter are, in their way, not much to DO
preferred to ex-King Milan and his son.
They are ambitious, autocratic, e~xtrava-
CANT and heavily in debt, and their morals
will not pear severe scrutiny.
They are surrounded by i~mpecunious
Russian mobiles and loose people Of both
sexes, all Of whom will have to be lib
orally provided for in the event Of tho
Karageorgevitch restoration out of tho
national treasury, and, to crown their
disadvantages in the eyes Of the Servian
farmers, they claim the retrocession to
them Of the enormou estates which
were formerly the private property Of
butlN Ebuhes anu WuAlu WtAo CoulbCtNeu
TO the state when the head Of the Kara
geUI gevitch family was assassinated and
all his relatives were kicked out of tho
country.
On the whole, therefore, Arsene and
Peter would be more expensive than Mi
Ian and Alexander. AS the question ia
mainly one of money, the latter will in
all probability remain in Belgrade, the
establishment Of a republic being entire
ly out Of the question. Meanwhile Mi
Ian poses as O patriot. He pines for Paris
and its supreme delights, which it is inn
possible to enjoy in semibarbarous Bel
grade, but a stern sense of duty keeps
him ut his sons side. Privately he is
haggling with the ministers as to the sum
which shall be paid him to clear out. He
has limited that if his price be not paid
he will have himself appointed general
issimo and inspector of the army and set
tie permanently in the country. The APP
palling prospect thus opened is likely
materially to hasten a settlement.-Bel-

n%eously in a dozen different places. In
this operation any ordinary currents are
used, such as are capable Of being relay
ed and are subject to all conditions Of

done with the same speed as an ordinary

7 rofessor Stevenson Has Completed q Won
dorfui Invention After Years 81 Labor.
Professor T.. Z. Stevenson. a well
known educator and writer " Quincy.
Mass, %oun the completion Of an
invention on which he has been laboring
for years, which, he says, will revolu-
tionize the present methods Of obtaining
motive power. Professor Stevenson has
pursued his Investigations and expert
ments in Quincy all winter and has at
last brought his idea to u head. Profess
or Stevenson said. 1.-THE forces which
have thus far been utilized by the genius
of man are the laws Of g%ravitatiou and
chemical reaction. In the broad field Of
research and investigation we find the
possibilities Of the future in molecular
attraction, musical vibration and the re-
fraction Of light.
ITO understand the theory on which 1
have been laboring You must understand
the correlation Of forces or the ~transinu-
tation Of energies. We use force to pro-
duce light. 1t is upon the reverse Of
this theory that have labored, and my
experiments are at last proving satisfac-
tory. l have found that the heat Of an
ordinary kitchen stove generates energy
sufficient, II controlled, to drive tie ma
chinery of the Pillsbury mills, and the
flames Of a Bunson electric burner would
furnish power to light by electricity 1000
lights"
In Professor StevenBon's experimental
machine, however, the heat Of the sun
alone has been used. This machine con-
sists Of three brass cylinders connected
by means of tubes and valves with a
glass reflector behind the central cylin-
der. A piston moving laterally connect
ing with a balance wheel gives the mo-
ton. The shaft on which the balance
wheel hangs passes through the end OF
the machine and contains a drive pulley,
which makes the force available. This
machine is operated by the sun, working
with great rapidity,-Boston Journal.

Orange. His fad is breeding hunters.
The other morning Mr.. Dill was stand.
ing Just inside the stable door talking
70 his groom and had Jacks bride In
his hand.
Suddenly he heard a scream and rec
ognized the voice as that Of his littlo
daughter. Jack, the bay hunter, heard
It, too, and he must have recognized Il,
for quicker than it takes TO tell and be.
fore Mr.. Dill realized what had happen
ed, Jack had ierked the bride from Mr..
DilIe hand, backed out Of the stable and
was running acros the stable yard. Mr.,
Dill followed, and what he saw was cal
culated to make him follow pretty rap
idly. His little daughter was being at
tackled by a dog-a big, ugly, yellow cur
that did not belong around the place.
She had seen her father return from his
ride and had started from the house TO
the stable 10 meet him, as was her Gus
tom. The strange dog had sprung t
her. It's teeth were tearing her dress,
and she was vainly struggling to release
herself.
What Mr.. Dill saw Jack, the bay
hunter, saw, too, and he must have had
the same appreciation Of the little girls
danger that the father had. Running
until he reached the little girl and tho
dog, he reared up on his hind legs and
then brought his fore feet down with
crushing force on the vicious cur. The
dog released its hold on the girls cloth
ing and fell, but Jack had not finished
his work. Turning just rs the dog was
about to rise again, he let fly his hind
legs and gave the cur a kick that landed
70 in a heap against a stone fence full 10
feet away. Then Jacks work was done.
and he waited for Mr.. Dill to come up.
Mr.. Dill found that his little daughter
was not injured, though badly frighten-
ed. Then he went over and took a lO,
at the dog. 1t was dead. Then he went
over to his bay hunter, Jack, gave hil
IN sfectionate slap or two and placed
his little daughter on Jacks back. Tie
