The Berlng Sea question Not settled.

1t is believed in naval and diplomatic
circles that the Rering sea matter is assum-
ing a serious aspect, and that recent sud-
den changes in the assignment of naval
officers is ascribable to this cause. The
assignment of Admiral Walker to the Pa
cifc squadron is taken in some quarters
as an indication that diplomacy has failed
to settle the seal question, and that the
United States is making an effort to be
prepared for the single-handed execution of
the Paris tribunals award, if England fails
to do her part.

dering about In the Wilds Of '.roton.
Gabriel and VIM. Abbott of North
Adams, Mass, are at Groton to search for
their brother, who is supposed to have
persisted in the woods last December. The
brother started from Laird's mill in Marsh
field through the woods II miles to Groton
on cold, stormy day, in company with an
Italian. The Italian was found next day
near Darling's mill West Groton, nearly
frozen. When revived he said he and
Abbott parted company, as Abbott was
stronger and could get along faster without
him. Nothing has been heard from Alb
bolt since. There is some suspicion of
foul play, as the Italian has since disap-
peared. A systematic search of the woods
will be made. This section is one of the
widest stretches of unsettled land in Yer

A Watermelon Eaters Plight.

AL Winn, 60-year-old colored man liv-
ing at $500 South Broadway, submitted
to peculiar operation at the City hos
pital for a peculiar ailment. 1t was the
cutting out of 1000 watermelon seeds
from his internal mechanism.
The old man had been in a watermelon
patch over in East st. Louis. He was en-
joying himself finely, when he was dis
turbed by the approach of some one. Seiz-
ing a large, fine green melon, he "lit out. !"
He soon realized though, it would be inn
possible to carry that melon very much
longer If it was only on the inside, how
ever, it would be all right. With this
thought in his mind he began to throw
huge chunks of melon down his throat,
still running like deer. He didn't stop
to chew. He didn't even stop to spit out
the seeds. Winn has mouth like the
opening of coal mine, and everything
went' into its black depths. When the
old man concluded he was out of dan
ger he stopped running andfound that the
entire big melon was gone. He did not
experience any particular Inconvenience
from his gigantic meal for a couple of
days. Then he had the "worstest" stom-
ach ache he ever had. He was doubled
up with horrible cramps foR day and
then came to the hospital. DIR. Marks cut
Winn open and got quart of seeds.-St.
