over the town from the burning lumber

their valuables and household effects and
fingered so long in the effort as TO be cut
off from every avenue of escape except a
small lake, formed by the widening Of
the river. They then rushed To the lake
To try and cross il in boats. In the rush

NoAH's LOAD OF ANIMALS.
The Number OF Them Tough Puzzle Tor
the Early Theologians.

As far back as the seventeenth CEN
fury farsighted theologans had begun
to discern difficulties more serious than
any that had before confronted them,
saws Andrew White i'm the POpuim
Science MOnthiy More and more it was
seen that the number of different species
was far greater than the world had
hitherto imagined. Greater and greater
had become the old difficulty in con-
ceiving that of these innumerable species
each had been specially created by the
Almighty hand, that each had been
brought before Adam by the Almighty
TO be named, and that each, in couples
or in sevens, had been gathered by Noah
into the ark. But the difficulties thus
suggested were as nothing compared to
those raised by the distribution Of ami
mails.
Even in the first days of the church
this had aroused serious thought and
above all in the great mind of st.
Augustine. In his City of God" he had
stated the difficulty as follows: "But
there is a question about all these kinds
of beasts. which are neither tanned by
man nor spring from the earthlike frogs,
such as wolves and others of that sort,
as to how they could find their way to
the islands after this flood which de-
stroyed every living thing not preserved
in the ark. Some indeed, might be
thought to reach islands by swimming
in case these were not very far, but
some islands are so remote from con-
tinental lands that it does not seem pos
sible that any creature could reach them
h. IL = Il Ia
thing either that some animals may
have been captured by men and taken
with them to those lands which they in
tended to inhabit in order that they
might have the pleasure of hunting, and
it cannot be denied that the transfer may
have been accomplished through the
agency of angels, commanded or allowed
to perform this labor by God"

SLICK WORK OF M|[L|ONA|RES
Continuous Bidding For Sympathy on
the Part of the Stanford
Estate.
Supposed to Be an Effort to Break
Down the Suits of the Gov
eminent.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.-Those VINO
are interested in the prosecution of the
claim of the United States government
against the Central Pacific Railroad
company, and especially the claim filed
by the attorney gsneral against the es-
tate of Leland Stanford, must have
noticed the vigorous way in which the
Stanford interests are seeking to turn
popular sentiment against the prosecu-
ton of this claim. Fully three times
there have been stories sent out from
California declaring that Mrs. Stanford
was ready and willing to make enormous
and additional gifts to the Stanford
university il she were not harrassed by
this distressing litigation. In ono in
stance these dispatches went so far as to
describe the various buildings which
Mrs. Stanford proposed to erect, and all
of the stories are sedulous in asserting
that her whole estate will go to the Uni
versity upon her death. In every one of
these dispatches, widely printed, the
claim filed by Attorney General Olney
is made to sppear as a distressing imped-
iment to a great benefaction.

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT
Story That AN Alabama Negro SOld
Himself Into Voluntary
Slavery
And That the Purchaser Led Hin
or With Rope as in Old
Slavery Days.

New York, Sept. 20.-The following
remarkable special from Selma, Ala, ap-
pears in the World: "Sam johnson, a
negro, sold himself into slavery here to-
day for $50. Col. Stark Oliver, q farmer
of Dallas county, formerly a large slave
owner. was in town and noticed a lazy
looking negro about 80 years old loung-
ing in the sun in front of the hotel. The
colonel jestingly told him he would like
to buy him. The negro, in most serious
manner told the planter he was for sale;
that he would sell his liberty and serve
him as a slave until his death for only
$50 cash. The bargain was struck. A
bill of sale was drawn up by a lawyer
and signed and the money was paid.
Colonel Oliver tied his slave to a post
while he made some purchases in the
town, and when he left for home he fas-
tened a pillow line about the negro's neck
and led him along. AS the colonel left
he remarked that he was beginning to
feel as he used to back in the COS.

New YORK, Sept. 21.-Rear Admiral
Henry Erben, Of the United States navy,
who has just been placed upon the re-
tired list after a long and useful career,
is with his family, going to live at the
Park Avenue hotel this winter. In a
conversation he said his last cruise was
the pleasantest one he ever had, and
many foreigners seemed to realize for
the first time that the United States had
a good navy, or at least, could build n
in short order. The United States ought
to send its its battle ships and cruisers
around more. They ought to be kept
moving from place to place all the time.
The nations Of the world don't see the
American flag. We have plenty of con-
suls and l suppose they have flags with
them, but they seem to plant them in
the backyards Of the consulates, where
no n can see them. For this reason
our cruisers ought to be kept moving
from port to port all over the globe. 1t
would stimulate respect for US and slim
ulate trade. too. Then, again, we ought
to show the world what our Yankee
sailors look like and what they can do.
We have the finest sailors in the world.
They make the sailors of many other
nations look miserable enough by COM
harrison.

Bauern Bund, a farmers organization.
A meeting was called with a view to
taking steps to secure young American
cattle to replenish the stables of the
farmers, who are badly in need Of such

which the consul believes will result in

THE RECENT NAVAL BATTLE
Bets Made That the japanese Army

Twelve Days.

LONDON, Sept. 2l.-A dispatch from
Berlin states that Prince Wing, head of
the foreign office at Pekin, has induced
the emperor to issue a decree ordering
that henceforth no Chinese viceroy shall
NEEDLE in foreign affairs. The viceroys
have been informed that the foreign
policy will be conducted in the future
exclusively by the foreign office. This,
it is added, is unpleasant for Lii Hung
Chang. The v~iceroys Of Nankin, Canton,
Manchuria, and Karchgar have all inter
fered more or less in such matters.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-Dispatches re-

Chinest fleet, engaged in the battle
fought off the Yalu river, consisted of
twelve warships and four torpedo boats.
The Japanese fleet was composed OF
seventeen ships, some of which were
small vessels. The Chinese claim to
have sank the japanese warship Aush-
ina and Yossima and the Japanese
transport, which had been converted into
a cruiser and named Saiko. a private
report from Shanghai declares that these
vessels were not sunk, as tho Chinese
claim, but retired fran action disabled.
1t is reported that the Chinese transport
Toonan was sank after she landed the
troops, but it is thought to be incorrect.

incorrect, for they have both returned to

THE SUGAR

Democrats Claim the Louisiana Revolt
viii Result in Free Sugar.
WASHINGTON, DC, Sept. 22.-At dem
ocratic headquarters in this city the re-
volt of the louisiana planters is made
light Of. Representative Catchings, who
was passing through Washington on his
way to Mississippi, said:
II am delighted at this action of the
planters. If that element in Louisiana
goes over to to the republican party it
makes the way easy for free sugar. They
cannot, in my opinion, elect republicans
to the house, and democrats who are
elected in spite Of their opposition will be
under no obligations to watch after their
selfish interests. The demands Of the
Louisiana planters have been an embar-
rassment to the democratic party, and
I shall not be grieved to have them cut
loose. Even il they should succeed in
sending republicans to congress, it would
not be a matter of great consequence to
the democratic party. l do not think
there is any danger of u being depend
ent upon the delegation to hold the next
house. However, the state is democratic
without the planters, and we can very
well afford to have them in opposition"
Upon the general condition of affairs
General Gatchings pointed to the in
creased demand upon the treasury for
small currency and the large sale of
postage stamps as unfailing signs of a
revival of business. The treasury de-
partment, he said, had been pressed for
small currency, and considerable gold
was being offered in exchange for it. The
sale of postage stamps during the past
two or three weeks, he said, has been
almost unprecedented. These two things,
he thought, we're the best possible signs
of a revival Of business activity.
