The colonel is at all times quite testy,
and he is especially sensitive on the
subject of his ability as a fisherman.
The other morning he met his friend
the doctor, and he was so red in the
face that the doctor was alarmed, says
the Detroit Free Press.
Hello, Colonel he exclaimed,
whats the matter?"

''but you can't help me-"
Tell me, anyhow"

made no particular effort to conceal
the fact. They greeted the third girl

the case heard recently in Paris by the
judges Of the second civil chambers.
A Mile. Maquet put in claim for $50,
COCO, the amount Of legacy bequeath-
ed her by M. Poncault, who recently
died in America. Poncault's career
was a strange one. Thirty years ago,
says the London Telegraph, he was a
simple shoeblack on the quays OF
Havre. Disguised with this humble
and in-paid calling, he went on board
a ship bound for South America and
hid himself as a stowaway. When
we'll on the Atlantic he was discovered
and pulled out Of his hole by order of
the captain. Luckily for himself, he
was able to make himself useful as a
roustabout and no proceedings were
taken against him when the ship ar
rived in port. Once on transatlantic
soil, Poncault,. who had embarked at
Havre without a penny in his pocket,
set to work with will. He was ev-
erything by turns and nothing long.
He roughed it for some time and was
lost to his friends in France until a
few years since, when he returned a
wealthy man., He died leaving for

Maqset does not appear to be in hur-
~ to take husband, for she asked the
court to allow her to receive the money
as a single woman. The judges were
inexorable and pointed grimly at the
clause Of NJ. Poneault's will, in which
the marriage proviso was inserted.
The applicant will accordingly have to
look out for a husband if she wants
to benefit by the bequest Of the ex.
shOeblack.

THE REQUEST DENIED.
Anti-SnlOOn League Refused a Rep
resentative at the Daley Trial.

Mr.. Albert Il. Shoemaker, attorney for
the Anti-Saloon League, appeared before
the Commission ers this afternoon and re
quested permission to appear before the
police trial board during the trial of Sergt.
Daley. He said he had been retained by the
Anti-Saloon League, and desired to be
present at the police trial to see for him
self If there was any persecution, and
make certain notes which would be of in
terest in future proceedings. In reply to
question, he said he had applied to the trial
board for permission to be present, but was
refused.
The Commissioners preferred to discuss
the matter among themselves before giving
a final answer, and requested Mr.. Shoe
maker to wait a few minutes. Commits
sioners Ross and Truesdell then had a long
discussion over the matter, and decided 1t
would be establishing a bad precedent to
allow Mr.. Shoemaker to appear before the
trial board. They told the latter when he
came for his answer that, while they would
like to grant his request, they could not do
so consistently. Were such permission
granted, they said, 1t would open the way
for newspaper reporters and others. Mr..
Shoemaker argued earnestly and long, but
the Commissioners were Obdurate. They
suggested as way out of the difficulty
that Mr. Shoemaker appear as Sergeant
Daley's attorney, and thus gain admission
to the trial room. Mr. Shoemaker said
he did not like to do this he was not
familiar with the case. He left, however,
for the sixth precinct, where the board is
in session, to try the suggestion.

News of the Scientific Expedition
Into Africa.

News of the Scientific Expedition
Into Africa.
LONDON, November 9.-The first news of
the scientific expedition headed by DR.. Dom
aldson Smith Of Philadelphia, which started
in June last to explore the unknown re-
gion between 200 miles west of Berbera
the chief town Of that portion of Africa
and Lake Rudolph, where traces of ancient
civilization are believed to exist, has been
received here.
DR.. Smith, it appears. shortly after his
arrival at Berbera succeeded in forming a
caravan of 10 camels, and, accompanied
by two Englishmen, early in September
reached large stream, believed to be the
Erer. The expedition was greatly delayed
after beginning its march, owing to defects
which were discovered in the transport ar
rangements.
DR.. Smith and his party explored the I'M
known country west of Mimil and sur
veyed several rivers. During the progress of
this work DR.. Smith had narrow escape
from death or serious injury by being charg
ed by a rhinoceros. The country explored
is described as being full of interest. All
the members of the party are in good
health.
