Hunting Adventure.

1t would be difficult to find on record a
stranger hunting adventure than that ex-
perienced by Prince Hohenlohe, son of the
German chancellor, and Baron Vieting-
hOH the other day. They went out togeth-
er to shoot stays and agreed to decoy
the animals by initiating their call on a
special horn. The hunters separated.
each accompanied by a gamekeeper, and
went IN different directions. During the
course of the day they approached each
other, and each heard the others decoy
call and believed a stately stag was be-
tore him. Initiating the heavy steps Of
the animal, they hastily drew still nearer.
Ihe imitation Of the steps and call was
SO well done that they finally arrived
within ten PAGES of each other without
percelvlng their mistake. The thicket
was SO dense that they could not see
through it. Both stood still, repeating
the challenge from time to time Each
still firmly believed that he was within
q few PAGES of a real stag. At last the
prince, tired of waiting, fired thrice rap
idly IN the direction of the supposed game
The first bullet glanced off the cartridge
belt of Baron Wellington, the second
struck his watch and sprang off, the
third fell dead from his pocketbook well
t!lled with papers. The young baron
though hit three times, stood unwounded
He was so convinced that not his fellow
hunter but stag was before him that he
attributed the shots to the explosion of
cartridges in his belt, and busted himself
unfastening his belt for the purpose of
throwing it away The astOnishment of
both when they at last found out what
had happened was great.

SHOUTING AFTER DEATH.
Capt. Nolan's Last Cry at the Balalxlava
Charge.

Capt. No1an's Last Cry at the Balaklava
Charge.
There is a story told Of Capt. Nolan
of the Light brigade at Balaklava. Nolan
as aide-de-camp of the division-general
assumed to guide the Light brigade in it's
awful charge, and, with frantic exclama-
ton and vehement gestures with his up
lifted sword, he rode to the right obique
beyond the head of the reckless column,
in order to draw the 600 out of the val
ley of death, which lay directly in their
course, off toward a line of thanking re-
doubts which they had been ordered to
attack, and where victory and not disas
ter doubtless awaited them. When he
was a few PAGES to the right of the lead
ing ranks piece of shell struck him on
the chest, tearing into the heart. King
lake makes the following minute record
of the event:
1.-THE sword dropped from his (Nolan's)
hand, but the arm with which he was
waving it the moment before still re-
manned high uplifted in the air, and the
grip of the practiced horseman, remaining
as yet unrelaXed, still held him firm in
the saddle. Missing the perfect hand of
his master, and finding the accustomed
governance now succeeded by the dan
Cling reins the horse all at once wheeled
about and began to gallop back upon the
front of the advancing brigade. Then,
from what had been Nolan-and his form
was SUN erect III the saddle, MS sword
arm still high in the air-there burst forth
a cry SO strange and appalling that the
nearer who rode nearest him called it
unearthly. And, in truth, | imagine"
continued the historian, 1.-The sound result
ed from no human will, but rather from
those spasmodic forces which may act
upon the bodily frame when life as a
power has ceased. The firm-seated rider,
with arm uplifted and stiff could hardly
be ranked with the living. The shrek
men heard rending the air was scarce
other than the shrek of d corpse. The
dead horseman rode on till he passed
through the interval Of the Twelfth Light
dragons. Then at last he dropped out
of the saddle."-Brooklyn Eagle

Why Texas Was Rent.

sou, heIDa, haInes, ali nad been heard
with pleasure night after night at the
big louse" down the street, but life up
to that time were in vain, for we had vet
to listen to the phenomenon of the age; the
exponent of notes in alt, such as had not
been heard since the days of Mozart's sis
ter-in-law. The first stroke of the baton
brought out a crash of complex melody,
and the seance began. The number
seemed to have the spirit of Beelzebub in
it. Up this little dream figure started, and
away went her voice, skimmering through
the immense auditorium like a pistol ball.

Eers Of that big theater until it struck the
elevator, where it took passage for the
next flight. From gallery to gallery it
went, touching here, there and at all
places the heart of every listener, breaking
away only to run into some hidden nook,
where she dWelt on a tone of liquid sweet
ness. This was her famous e fiat in alt,
which she simply caressed, and then with
a bound, beyond all human comprehension,
took complete octave above and held it.
Ye gods, what applause followed! 1t

Benevolence in the Factory.

prince among advertisers, William
l.. Douglas. president of the w. l.. Doug
las Shoe Co., Montello, Mass, is not less
eminent for practical kindness to the host
of people employed by him in the produc-
ton of the celebrated So shoe. We look
naturally to a man of his enterprise for
comprehensive and noble benevolence, and
we are not disappointed. Adding still
another expression of his manly good feel
ing towards people who depend on him
for a livelihood, he has appointed a we'll
equipped physician as custodian of the
health of the work people. Every per-
son employed at the factory commands
the Doctors services, either within its
walls or, if need be, at his or her own
home; and it is within the physicians
province, Of course, to prescribe absolute
rest when this shall appear necessary or
desirable. The Douglas doctor eXacts no
fees from his patients, his engagement
being by arrangement with Mr.. Douglas,
whose claims on the loyal good-feeing
of his employees are emphasized by this
expression of his bounty.
1t ought to be generally known that
since December, 1888, the principle of ar
bitration has been recognized by formal
agreement of the w. L. Douglas Shoe
Co. with its employees, every man in the
employment of the firm signing an agree
ment to submit any disagreement that
may arise and not otherwise be settled
to the State Board of Arbitration for a
decision to bind both parties

scrambling over the roof, and when the din
subsidized she still stands smiling, holding
her note sweet as ever; then coyly coaxes
it down by degrees and drops it in the bal
cony, where she lets it wander around idly.
A short symphony follows, and here she
comes tumbling down steps in cadenzas at
breakneck speed, one note rolling over an
other, with such utter recklessness you
wonder where she will light, but soft
tone in her lower register serves as a cush-
ion, and away she goes again with the
agility of an acrobat, and scars to heights
unknown. Something seems to scare her
she hestates, trembles-and one of the
has ever heard. Then some suitable motif
attracts her from her wild flight to
more soothing Tempo, and soft pure melo-
dy pours forth. Each note seems sweeter
than its sister, and then dies away into
nothing. You rub your eyes, the spell is
broken, the little bird is gone and your
dream is air

Chinese Vessel Back to Port with Most
of Her Grew Dead on Deck.
There came into Singapore this after
noon one of the most CHASTITY sights that
have come into the port for very many
years. A Chinese tongkang, which had left
Singapore on the 9th or 7th inst. with q
crew of eight men returned to port in
charge of three men only. -Four bodies of
the other members of the crew, fearfully
mutilated, were lying on the deck, just as
they had been killed by Malay pirates,
offered to assist and were assisting. An
other member Of the crew had jumped
overheard and was drowned
1t appears that the story gathered from
the three men left of the crew that their
boat, named Kim Hook Hin, took her
clearance from Singapore on the 9th inst.
with a cargo of 400 piculs of rice, so cases
of petroleum, and several hundred dollars
in cash, for Linggi, Dutch island near
RHO. They had a crew of eight Shortly
after they left Singapore they were met
by Malay prahu, on board of which
We're three Malays from one of the neigh
boring islands. These three men asked
if the tongkang would tow them, as they
were tired. The Cinnamon generously
gave them this concession and cast out
rope, taking the prahu in tow. Every
thing went well, and in the night time the
wind fell slack and all the crew were
asleep on the deck except the man at the
helm.
The man at the helm states that. before
he was aware of what was doing, the
Malays had pulled their boat up alongside
and had jumped on board. They made one
rush for the sleeping crew, and succeeded
in despatching four of the poor wretches
where they lay, cutting them up in
shocking fashion Resistance was hope
less; indeed, before they scarcely had their
eyes open they were sent into eternity.
One man of the crew became SO fright
ened that he jumped overheard and was
up by a passing boat, which is extremely
doubtful. The other three men begged
for mercy, and, seeing that they had all
in their power (althOugh one of the men
was afterward badly wounded on the
arm from kris cut), the Malays listened
to their prayer and did nothing else in the
way of attempting to take human life
They plundered all the money they could
find in the boat and managed to get alto
together something like $500. They never
touched the cargo, and they seemed salts
fed with the money. They then packed up
the money into the prahu and left.
The three Cinnamon left alone decided
on returning to Singapore, and the boat
arrived here early this morning. The chief
boarding officer went down and, with as
sistance, brought the boat to the landing
stage near the master attendants office,
with its CHASTITY burden on board just as
the men had been cut down. The Chinese
remaining of the crew were particularly
asked if the Malays were from Singapore,
and they replied in the negative, saying
that they believed they came from some of
the islands close to Singapore. Strait

met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

had torn his clothes half off of him. At
length he sat down Oh the curbstone,
completely tagged out. A man passing
was stopped by the lads disconsolate APP
