One of her maJesty's men of war re-
Gently paid the annual visit to Tries
tan dAcunah, a small volcanic island
In the South Atlantic, TO bring home
letters from the little community of 30
persons who live in that isolated spot.
These have just reached England and
1t appears from the communications
that Peter Green, the venerable chief
Of the island. is still alive, and has
again been instrumental in saving the
lives Of shipwrecked crews. The old
mans record of life saving on his lone
ly islet is probably unique.
The government of King Humbert
has sent Mr.. Green handsome silver
medal and diploma, together with the
sum of 5000 to divide among his peo-
pie, in recognition of the gallantry dis
played by them in rescuing the crew of
an italian vessel which was wrecked
on the rocky shore of Tristan. The
president Of the United States had pre-
viously sent the sturdy old hero q
chronometer and chain as a token OF
his appreciation of a similar noble ac-
ton in the case of an American vessel.
Green, by reason of his protracted
residence at Tristan, has become quite
attached TO the island. and now ex-
presses his intention or ending his
days there. 1t Is some so years since
he saw any of his relatives.
He has latterly become vested with
the duty Of solemnizing marriages. and
on one memorable day ''spliced" no
fewer than five couples-two of them
natives of Tristan, two of them be-
longing to Italy. and one couple from
England.
The aged chieftain records with sat-
isfaction a visit to Tristan d'Acunha
from the governor of ST. Helena, who
was on his way TO that island, and
states that the latter was successful
in putting to rights" his clock. which
had stopped for a long time.
At the urgent request of Mr.. Green
q national anthem" for Tristan has
been specially written by G. Newman
of Finsbury road, Woodgreen. The
latter had a relative-Captain Ander-
son of the ship Benares-who was
shipwrecked off Tristan in 1868, res
cued and succored by Green, and since
then Mr.. Newman has corresponded
with him.
For several years his letters were
sent by ships of war from the admi-
rally; of late a man-of-war has called
there once a year with malls.

TALLEST MAN ALIVE.
Colonel Powell, the Texas Giant, Wants
to Leave the show business.

Colonel Powell, the Texas Giant, Wants
to Leave the show Business
From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Colonel A. A. Powell, the Texas giant
who headed the procession in the Odd
Fellows celebration at East st. Louis
last spring, Is at the st. James. He Is
tired of the show business and has
come to st. Louis to look for a job as
floor walker in some store. 1--WE been
In the show business 10 years now and
have got enough OF it." he said yester-
day. IT'S a tough life-always on the
go-no regularity in meals or anything
else. And a fellow can't make much
money at II, either. Here / am, the
tallest man in the country or the world
that / know of. since the Chinese giant
died, and can't make a decent living
at the show business. Sometimes / get
$50 or SIS a week, but then / have to
pay my expenses; and hotel bills and
railway fare eat up all the profits. I'D
rather get $25 and have no such expens-
es. When I go with circus for a
whole season / get $50 or s35 a week
and expenses. but the life is too hard
for me-
Colonel Powell expects to settle down
in st. Louis and grow up with the city.
He Is comparatively young yet-only "a.
even a Texas ranger. but won his title
in the show business. When a boy he
lived on a farm In Johnson county.
which adJoins Dallas county. Texas.
The principal thing he did on the ranch
was to punch cattle" he says. In 9TH
er words, he was a Texas cowboy. He
punched cattle until his legs got so
long that they dragged on the ground
when astride a pony. At Is he stood
feet. IN inches in his stocking feet, and
Is no taller now. he says, although
when in the show business his height Is
advertised as feet. The Chinese giant
who died some time ago was feet, 8
inches. Colonel Powell has stood be-
fore about all the crowned heads of
Europe. He has showed with many cir
cuses. He has no brothers and but one
sister. who is Of moderate height only.
Nor was there anything extraordinary
In the height of either Of his parents,
or any of his ancestors. so far as his
knowledge or information goes. He is a
Royal Arch Mason, Odd Fellow and a
knight of Pythias. The ladies may be
interested in the size of the coloners
shoes. They are No. 12-not so very
large for such a long-legged man. His
weight Is $50 pounds. The colonel is
still single. but says that II is not his
fault. THE girls all admire me. but at
a distance" is the way he expresses 1t.
