A LUCKY CHANCE,
The Good Fortune of an ocean Traveller

he, ''and had exhausted nearly every
means of amusement, when far away
on the horizon we sighted the smoke of
an approaching steamer. Speculation
among the sporting element at once
took the form of the nationality of the
vessel. At length some one suggested
that we each put one hundred dollars
into a pool, and eight of us did SO.
Miniature flags of the eight principal
maritime nations were deposited in a
bag, and each of us took draw.
''Well, you can imagine my feelings

her navy and merchant marine became
painfully apparent to me, and visions
of a cool century gone in a moment be-

had fallen to an Englishman, and in his

HISTORIC FAT WOMEN.
Celebrities Who Were More or Less Dis
posed to Embonpoint.

Celebrities Who Were More or Less Dis
posed to Embonpoint.
From ancient, medieval and modern
history the following facts about fat
women are cleaned: Agrippina, Nero's
mother, was fat. Cleopatra, the ser
pent of the Nile, as Marc Antony
called her, was small and fat. Laura,
Petrarch's muse, was fat, fair, with
blonde hair. The Marie Fiammetta
whom Boccaccio loved intensely was a
brunette and fat. Elizabeth, the virgin
queen, was tall and fat, with thick red
hair. Marguerite of Navarro was fat.
All Rubens' women, except his wife,
were fat. All Titian's women, except
the Madonna, were fat. Catherine of
Russia was tall and fat; Louisa Stroz-
Ii, for whom Alexandra di Medici died,
was rather stout. Josephine Beau
harnais, the indolent Creole, afterward
empress of the French, was fat and
perfumed; Nine. Roland also. The un-
fortunate Marie Antoinette was tall
of stature, majestic and fat; Nine. de
Stael, small, dark and fat, with small
beautiful head, but was fat and small.
Heine said of her: 1.-THE build of her
body has the appearance of being lit
tie too fat, or at least little too
short; the head alone bears the cachet
of the ideal" Queen Isabella of Spain
| is fat; Queen Victoria the same; Queen
Margherita of Italy is certainly going
on the same way, and most of the
great singers have been noted for their
embonpoint.

Furnishing him under the penal code,
for, while cutting the hair of a native

Englishmen, and the bodily harm done
was too slight to be considered an

1t Is One of the DeadIiest Serpents Found
in New Guinea.
The discovery of the Horn expedition
to the Mcdonnell ranges in Australia
of remarkable specimen of natural
history called ''whistling spider, -
whose popularity consists in producing
whistling noise by the simple opera
ton of drawing its fore leg across it's
jaw, seems at the moment to be out

ministrator OF British New Guinea, is
now in the field with another extraor-
dinary discovery-a whistling snake.
In his latest report Sir William says
that large number of deaths occurred
early this year in the Rigo district of
New Guinea from snake bite. The ad-
ministrator points out that the island
is infested by small species of black
snake, which is very fierce. The
natives declare that whenever man
goes near one it rushes at him, utter

fourteen years was in the bush near. the

rush at him with the usual peculiar

noise emanated from some cockatoos in

LONDON, Sept. S.-The Comte de Paris
died at 8 o'clock this morning at Stowe
House. During the night the comte
several times appeared to have passed
away, so feeble was his pulse. DR.. Po-
conner had the most extreme difficulty
freq Iently IN feeling the light beats of
his heart and the weakness Of the dis
tinguished sufferer during his last hours
Of sickness was so great that he was un-

making it apparent that he desired to
utter a few words of farewell TO those
around. The family and old servants
were all in attendance and to each one
the head of the royal house Of France
said a few kind words, after which the
family knelt at his bedside and offered
heartfelt prayers for the dying. He
rarely, however, referred to his approach
ing death, always trying to sooth the
sorrow of those around him. Now and
then a deep sigh escaped from the suf-
ferer and he would n,utter the phrase,
oft repeated during the last week, "C'eet
bien long," equivalent to saying that he
was weary of waiting for death.

Again.

sand Coulee Team Anxious to Try II
Again.
SAND CoULEE, Sept. G, 1894.
To the Editor Great FuHs Tribune:
DEAR SIR think that the statement
in your paper respecting the tug Of war
on Sept. Sd, Sand Coulee union versus
Building Laborers' union, calls for an
explanation, In the first pull Sand
Coulee was given the judgement on &C
count OF three or more men pulling at
the laborers' end of the rope more than
the appointed team of twelve, and 10
spite Of the extra aid Sand Coulee had
them pulled four feet before stopped by
the judge. In the second heat Sand
Coulee pulled the laborers eight feet, in
fact the first man on the miners end
had the center tape past his hands, and
the Sand Coulee captain called for iudg-
ment but the judge refused to give it on
the grounds that a team had no right to
take up rope as they won it but had to
so back with the rope, thereby losing
their footholds. Now the Judge seemed
ignorant of the fact that the science of
a tug Of var pull on turf consists of re-
tanning your foothold. The captain Of
the miners seeing that, told his men to
let go, as they had pulled the opposing
team two feet over the required amount
to win, and as the verdict was given to
the Building Laborers' union, on what
grounds it is hard to state, they left the
field indignant, feeling they had not had
fair play. Only one thing more need be
said, and that it that Sand Coulee union
will pull the Building Laborers' union
for a purse or wager any time they like
to take up the game. Yours truly,
One OF THE SAND CoULEE TEAM.

SOFIA, Sept. Much comment has

Minister Stambouloff at his examination
yesterday on the charge that he insulted
and illuminated Prince Ferdinand.
Stambouloff threatened the magistrate
and commissary of police with vengeance.
He refused point blank to answer the
questions. He was held in $4,000 francs
bail which WAS furnished. When enter
ing his carriage, after leaving the court,
a NAH struck him with a stick. The as
sailant was arrested. Subsequently a
mob attacked S~tambouloff and friends
with stones and he probable would have

BARKER Notes,

Thursday E. w. Briggs Of Barker,
came in and will remain here several
days. Mr.. Briggs reports that just at
present Barker presents a scene of de-
cided activity. There are quite a num-
Der of men at work on the different
mines, and in the timber district a large
force is engaged 10 hewing out props for
the coal mines of Sand Coulee and Belt.
The gentleman brought with him a
car load of ore from the Manitoba mine
of which he is the lessee. This is the
only mine in the district in which the
ore is black suiphates, and he claims
that assays from different veins show
from 70 to 900 ounce in silver. The Cal
load he brought in is not selected but
represents all classes. He will have i,
treated at the silver smelter and expects
that it will show an average Of S40O pei
ton. If his expectations are realized he
will on his return to Barker put from Il
to 20 men at work In the mine.

IT SERVED HIM RIGHT,

That Is the Decision of the Court in
the Noble Shooting Case.
The case of the state against George
Barrett, charged with shooting one Ed
Mobiles with intent to kill, was heard be-
fore Judge Hawkins yesterday afternoon
at . o'clock. Pat Mclaughlin, Harry
johnson and Phillip Pozanski were ex-
amined for the state. They were all
ey~e-witnesses of the affair and their tes-
timony was practically the
Risky Barnett and the defendant went
on the STAND for the defense, although it
was hardly necessary, as their story did
not vary any from that Of the states
witnesses.
The defendant stated the facts about
as follows: He was in the Globe
theater when Ed Mobiles who is
pugilist from Lewistown and has a bad
reputation for being quarrelsome and
dangerous when drunk, approached de-
| PENDANT and asked for a loan Of 50. He
was told he could have it in the morn
ing when he was sober, but not then
and replied to the generous promise Of
the defendant by knocking him down
The bartender at the Globe theateI
saved Barrett from further punishment
at this time by persuading Mobiles at the
point of a gun to leave the room. Bar
ret on returning to his saloon saw Mobiles
waiting behind the bar for him with {
big chunk of pyrites of iron in his hand
and accordingly went to bis room ant

crate approached Barret on the other sid'
with a stick. One shot was sufficient t.
send the confederate flying out of thu
back door, and Barrett then turned hi
attention to the pugilist, firing three
shots at him, two of which took effec
as related at the time.
The court said that under all the tes
timony he could not but think that thu
defendant was perfectly justified in tn
course he took and dismissed the cas-
accordingly.

JUDGES RADICALLY DIFFER
Bellinger Says Railroad Receivers
May Reduce Wages of En-.
ployes.
That the Courts Have Not the Time
To Bother With Such Prop
sitIOns.

PORTLAND, Sept. S.-Iu the Oregon
railway and navigation wage schedule
in the United States court Judge Bel
linger rendered an important decision
on the question in point, the exact
reverse of the decision rendered by
Judge Caldwell in the Union Pacific
wage schedule in the United States
circuit court. In the Union Pacific case
Judge Caldwell decided that the receiver
had no power to change the schedule
and rules, but should petition the court
to make the change. In his decision
Judge Bellinger said that the court can
not be expected to stand over the re-
ceiver and follow him through the
minute details Of his work. Under the
rule proposed which was the one laid
down by Judge Caldwell the receiver
might want to make a hundred
or a thousand changes a year for each
Of which the court would have
to give an order. This would devolve a
question that seemed to him %impractic-
able. The question in this case was
whether the receivers could make reduc-
tions in the wages Of employees without
the consent the court. The parties
were all in court and it made no differ
epce on the petition of which side they
got there nor which side will introduce
the witnesses first. This decision was
followed by another to the effect that
the order of Judge Caldwell in the Union
Pacific wages case was not binding
on the separate receiver OF
the Oregon Railway e. Navigation COM
pany. This disposed of all technical
points and the court announced that he
would hear the case on it's merits. In
referring to the causes for a reduction in
wages of operatives, counsel for receiver
stated that the report of earnings and
operating expenses for the month Of
April, last, showed a deficiency Of ovel
100000. He estimated that the present
year would reach or exceed Sl,OOO,0O(
and il there was to be a continued de
ficiency in operating expenses the roat
had better be abandoned.
