MaryeIs Unknown,

WHO would suppose that to catch dust

than to carry brains IN ones head? Yet
SO it is. A thousand stupid moths and
millers in drinking the nectar of the
flowers dust themselves with the neigh
boring pollen. This pollen carried to
other blossoms perfects their seed and so

chance of attracting these moths and

immensely adding to the charms of
flowers. The ant. king of insects
though he is, headsman and warehouse
man, engineer and builder, explorer and
general, has borne no part in this
mighty revolution. Warrior that he is,
he wears smooth and shining armor to
which no pollen can stick, and thus
from the mere accident of the texture of
mis- garb, he has been distanced in a
work not simply beyond any achieve
menu of his, with all his brains, but a
task worthy to rank with the mightiest
deeds of men. All this and much else
of deepest interest is illustrated in The

UNCLE JOE HoLDEN,s PARTY.
Boys Take Possession of the Convention
and Have a Good Time-A Boy with
semblage.

Mr.. Joseph W. Holden's party was organ
lied yesterday, and having a voting
strength of one, Mr. Holden himself, might
have organized himself without an exhibition
of bossism depressing to recall. but he did
not. A more directly boss run cony ention
was never held. Mr. Holden would have
managed the convention in the interest of
the party, had he been permitted to have
done SO, but the convention was
captured by the boys, and he was not
allowed to have his way. The boss of that
convention was a handsome young fellow
in a sweater. sIn all the previous eighteen
years of his life lie had never before heen
called upon to boss political convention,
but he rose to the occasion. and ran things
to suit his own pleasure. There were other
boys there, for example, the boy with the
brown hat. and the boy with the glasses,
but the boy with the sweater. the handsome
one of the lot, was the boss, and his was the
dominating will of the convention.
Janitor Covell, and Mr.. A. d. Sweetsir,
walked in together to represent as it We're,
the two old parties, but they were allowed
to have little part.
The boy with the sweater, walked in,
took look about him, asked the name of
the new organization, and then said to Mr..
Holden, ''Let her start up Professor"

stop until more got in, but the boy in the

purse will get my signature without

will entertain no proposition from the
Auditorium club of New Orleans until
they pay him the $4,000 they owe him
for his night with Hall. All ask is
that the clubs money be in sight, de-
posted in bank. and l will sign with
that club. When Mr.. Fitzsimmons
talks that way he makes me think he is
bluffing; that he does not want 70 fight,
and the public will see it that way, TOO,
if he lets bad debt stand in the way

And Causes Anxiety in Billiard
Circles

There is considerable anxiety existing
in local billiard circles as to when
Schaefer and Sphinx are to arrive here
to give exhibition games. Sunday
Thomas Foley wrote to Mr.. Schaefsr for
definite information, but I'D to last
night had received no answer. I'm
doubtedly the game between Schae-
fer and Ives has tended to de-
lay the coming OF these two
attractions, and il is barely possible that
they may be compelled for the present
to foregO their visit to st. Paul. Mr..
Foley stated last night that should they
defer their visit now. week after next
he should inaugurate tournament in
which all the better class of amateur
players in the city would take part. 1t
is his intention in this, as in all its pre-
decessors, to leave no stone unturned
that shall make it brilliant success.
He will h ang up 800 in valuable prizes
for this event.
1t is possible that Frank Greene, of
the Wisconsin Central, may take part.
He certainly is busily grooming his
cue for SOME sort of contest. 1t is
understood that the question of handi-
caps is what troubles him now. He is
certainly very clever with the cue and
balls

prominent being that 10000 Japanese
troops have landed near Shanghai

the Chinese provinces of Manchura
and Chi Ii, at the eastern
end of the great wall which
traverses China. The telegraph wires
have been cut, thus hindering commun-

is ciassed here as unreliable says that
the japanese have effected landing
near New Chwang. Gulf of Load.Ton.
According to 4 letter received here from
Tien.Tsin during the progress of large
fire there Friday last, the China
merchants volunteers protected the
settlement and are now patrolling the
streets from sunset to sunshine. 1t is
reported here that several Japanese
war ships have been sighted off Takuara.
A dispatch received here from Tien
Tsin today states that the British and
Russian ministers have arrived there,
and that they will proceed at once 10
Pekin.
Another report which reached this
city that after a skirmish which took
place north of the Yalu river Yesterday,
the Japanese Outposts were driven back
across the river.
Advices from Port Arthur say that

second floor there IS the
family of Joseph Brady. consisting OF
himself, his wife and four children, and
one boarder. All of these were sleeping
i'll the extension. They we're pinned in
their beds when the crash came. All of
them are more or less I'M ured, but the
little boy, Joseph Brady, is most seri-
ously hurt. His head was caught be-
meath beam and crushed, and his left
leg was broken.
The people as fast as they were res
cued were taken into the Grammar
school near by and attended by doctors
from tine hospitals. Those who were
most badly injured were taken to the
hospitals, where they could re-
celve more complete treatment. The
bricks and great wooden beams and
stones lay III one compact mass. 10 add
to the horror of it all, there were the
constant cries of the people imprisoned
beneath the mass, imploring the men 10
hurry and get them out. In the midst
of the cries there came the voices IT
children at times. Once there was
Weak Voice Raised in Prayer.
The first body, that of Bertha Koones.
was taken out ust after O'Clock. Half
an hour later the tiremen came upon
eighteen-year-old Alexander Abrahains,
in a cramped position in one corner of
what had been his sleeping room. The
boy could talk to the men, and ne said:
DON'T mind NE. My mother and
father are back of Inc somewhere"
But the men worked on. and in ten
minutes they had the little fellow free,
and one of the men carried him into the
school house. He did not seem to be
injured in the slightest particular. The
second corpse recovered was taken
from the rear of what had been the two
story building. 1t was that of Meyer
Stelnman, aged thirty-one years.
Then the body OF Abraham Koenes
nine years old, was taken out, aud au

recovered. Louis l. Abrahams and his
brother Maurice. who were dug out of

Louis said that he went to bed just a
half hour before the building
fell. He had just fallen asleep.
Suddenly the awful crash came.
He telt something strike him, and he
tainted. When he regained conscious
ness he found himself pinioned to his
bed. A heavy piece of timber WAS over
his breast. His brother was lying by
his side and was also piiiioned. They
talked together until rescued by those

are not serious.
