An American, J. w. McLane. while on his
way between Santiago and Valparaiso to en-
bark for the United States, was robbed of over
$4,000. On arriving at Valparaiso he found,
upon opening his bag, instead of the money, a
half-dozen oranges. The money was in orders
to the value of $4,000, with $50 in gold, be-

to the fact that the Interior Department. which
issues the commission, has delayed forwarding

the American Union party. which represents
the annexation sentiment in the islands, made
q clean sweep. practically, in the elections of

Capt. r. F. Kolb, the defeated candidate oil
the Populsts for Governor of Alabama, has
made sensation by the issuing of lengthy
address to the people of his State, declaring
his intention of being inaugurated Dec. /, and
urging his friends to support him. He claims
that he has been legally elected, and that the
will of the people has been set aside by cor.

from four frogs. This was done to prevent
gangrene from developing. which had already

A BIRD CHOIR.


An Object Lessen Introduced iIto the Scrl-
ice by II Cincinnati Pastor.
Pastor Dobbins of the Lincoln Parl,
Baptist church inauguratcd beautiful
new feature In his services on Sunday.
He announced that he would preach two
sermons in reference to spring, one on
the growing season and the other on
song birds Accordingly he asked that
members Of the congregation, a. many
~ could, bring canary birds to church.
The result was that there were 40
cages of birds in the church this morn
ing when the service opened. The cages
were hung from the gas brackets, around
the walls and on the sides Of the organ.
The rustling Of fans, the noise of turn
ing leaves and the murmur of voices be-
fore the service began started the little
warblers 10 work.
At first they tWittcred and called t.
each other, then began to sing, Softly,
first one, then another, each gradually
gaining confidence and increasing the
length and strength Of his song, until
finally, when the organist began the vol
untary and the loud notes sounded, the
whole flock broke forth in Il burst OF
melody. All through the service they
kept it up, increasing or diminishing
their notes as the noises in the church
gave them the cue. The same expert
ence was repeated in the evening. Mr..
Dobbins spoke of the birds atfording a
good example for the human race, in
that they worked industriously carly nd
late raised their young and taught tn ~
how to take care of themselves Gin
