King Menelek, or rather NeRus
Menelek, OF Abyssinia. In killing
1000 and capturing 1900 Of the
Gallas tribe, has evencd up an old
score OF twenty-six years standing.
The story Is one OF which but very
few people are aware. When Lord
Napier. then Sir Robert, landed with
the Indian expedition force ut Mas.
sowah to invade Abyssinia. his chief
Of the intelligence department was q
Major Tweedle, IN officer whose lifc
had been saved In the inutiny by o
native trooper, Nicer Akbar All. He
had retained Akbar All atterward
and had once sent him for o three
years trip to Arabia to buy race
horses, ut time when Arabs were
not allowed to be exported. .Akbar
All In that time became u perfect,
scholar In Arabic. lie had also
visited Abyssinia and learned
the customs OF the country.
He thus was an exceedingly valuable
assistant to Major Tweedle's depart
ment. Sir Robert Napier was afraid
that on his approaching tho capital,
Magdala, King Theodore would break.
for the interior OF Africa, thus caus-
ing a protracted war. Learning
that the Calais tribes--who lay be.
tween Abysslnia and the heart OF the
Upper Nile region-were not over
fond OF Theodore. he sent Akbar All
alone to get through the country,
subsidize and rouse the CALAIS and
make sure that Theodore's retreat
was thus cut of. This was done In
the most timely way, and as the
British army arrived ut Magdala the
Negus saw that there was no escape
for him. The city was taken and he
committed suicide. His son, King
John, was educated at Oxford. King
Menelek, OF Shoa, obtained the crown

through Kansas, New Mexico, Ari.

About two years later, in 1860, our
company was formed for the purpose
Of carrying the mails to the Pacific
coast. 1t was known as the Central
Overland, California and Pixies Peak
Express company. William H. Rus
sell, Alexander Majors and man
named Wadell formed the company,
and the contracts with the govern
ment for Carrying mails were made
out in their names. I was chosen
manager, aud had my Office in Dem

The southern route run by Butter

ence as ours, which for years was
known as the pony express route.

to Placerville, New, and to Sacra-

ITO accommodate our business
we had about $50 coaches, most OF
which were kept running oil the
time. To haul them we had 1900
horses scattered along the route from
st. Joseph to Sacramento. In ad-
dition we had 5000 or 600 head Of
cattle, which were used In hauling
heavy freight and transporting feed
for the horses and provisions for our
men. You can see that the business
was not by any means q small one
and 1t continued to grow rs long as
there was any use for such means Of
transportation. This was until the
completion OF the Union Pacific rail.

overland traffic and mail service could
be managed to better purpose by tho
railroad, and our pony express went
out Of existence. But up to that
time from the day that the route was

steadily increased. Even the build.
ing Of the railroad assisted us. for
our line was the best adapted for car

Big and Costly Keys.

The keys to the iron gates which
are placed ut either end OF the corri-
dor in the City Hall where tho
council chambers are to be, says the
Philadelphia Record. are marvels of
strength and workmanship. The New
York manufacturer claimed that each
key cost Sl6 and occupied the time
of skilled workman for a week.
They are made Of steel, entirely hand
wrought and the designs are artistic
and complicated. The locks on the
gates are unusually powerful, and it
Is explained that the councilmen
feared lest lobbyists secure an on

run up and down from tho floor to

The Late NIrs. sasan T. North.

The LhIB Nlts. As NOIths
 The following obituary of the late Mrs. Susan T. North appeared in a New
 Britain paper:
 Mrs. Susan Thompson North died at
 the age of nearly sixty-four at Summit,
 N. J., January 26, 1895, of pneumonia, after an illness of two days, and was
 buried in the family lot at the South cemetery, Berlin, Conn, Monday after noon, January 2S Friends and rela- lives from Summit and from New Ha- ven, who accompanied the remains, were joined by other friends, and by Under taker Porter from New Britain, at Der lin station, whence they proceeded di- rectly to the cemetery, where the Epis- copal burial service was read oy the Rev. Thomas Clayton, pastor of the Second Congregational church of Der lin.
 Mrs. North was the youngest child of Benjamin and Harriet Thompson of New Haven, Conn. In, 1862 she began her married life as a home missionary with her husband, the late Rev. Josiah w. North, who was settled first at Co mo and later at Geneseo, Illinois. In 1865, MT. North's health failing, they returned to Connecticut, and soon after Ms. North resumed at New Haven her position as teacher of a private school, which she had established before her marriage. Of late her home had been at Summit, N. J., with her only surviv- ing child, Miss Elizabeth M. North, who has there boarding and day school. Mrs. North was greatly beloved by wide circle of friends, by whom she will be remembered as noble, generous, large-hearted, Christian woman, whose life was filled with good deeds and kindnesses In connection with what is now called Dwight Place church in New Haven, Conn, of which she was long member and of which she was elected deaeoness, she was active in every form of church work. Her will ing feet and ready hands were ever at the service of the sick and needy. She was tender and thoughtful with the aged, and helpfully interested in every thing that concerned the welfare of the young. Neglecting no duty in her home she always found time to write long, letters to her friends, and, by reading, to keep herself well inform ed on the questions of the day. These qualities of heart and mind, with her cheerful, sunny presence, made her a of comfort wherever she went and her life was a constant benediction. Truly of her it may be said Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"

There Was No Pronounced Pressure to Sell.
 New York, Feb. 5.-rThe delay in the announcement of the completion of the negotiations for the sale of block of new bonds by the government operated against the stock market again to-day. There was no pronounced pressure to sell, however, and the decline which took place during the early hours of 4 to 25S per cent. was due to the desire on the part of the traders to accept profits as we'll as to reduce their lines so as to be in shape to take advantage of new developments at Washington. There was also tendency to restrict operations until the house disposed of the Springer bill.
 A rally in exchange, the posted rates of sterling having risen to SASS and $4.S9ts, also had an adverse influence. Manhattan, Lead, Sugar Omaha, Louis vile and Nashville, Missouri Pacific, Western Union, General Electric and anthracite coalers, the grangers, with the exception of Rock Island and Chica- go Gas, were all more or less promi- nent in the downward movement. The last named declined from 759s to 73%, notwithstanding statements that the Benedict party had withdrawn all oppo- sition to the Standard Oil interests, and that the official announcement of the retirement of the former will be 1 uf 40 o,n1Hy dof resentatives of the latter will take pos session of the property as soon as mat ters can be arranged with the courts.
 Later in the day the market improved, and on moderate purchases rallied any, where from 4 to % per cent. in the general list, and 1% per cent. in Lead. London was again buyer of its favor ties, but its purchases were not large enough to influence prices The recent improvement in Hooking Valley securi-. ties ascribed to the fact that at the coming election a number of leading capitalists will enter the directory. The books for the annual meeting will close on February 2S next.
 Speculation closed firmer with an ad- vancing tendency. Net changes show losses of 4 to 11S per cent. United States Rubber rose 1ss to A and Alton & Terre Haute 9 to 3S. Lackawanna lost 1% per cent.

Strikers Demand of Increase Granted-A
 Ten Per Cent Cut in Wages is Restored.
 The blacksniths at Hooker's carriage factory who have been on strike were put to work yesterday morning, the company having agreed to the demands of the men to have the reduction of 10 per cent. taken off and the old price re- stored. The reduction was made dur ing the hard times. There were about forty blacksmiths and helpers employed on what is known at the shop as heavy work, who were concerned in the strike, and they went out month ago. A short time ago the company agreed to restore per cent. of the reduction, but this the men did not accept. They are now working on the wages asked for, that is, what they were before the cut One of the strikers, on being asked about the matter, said that the company had granted the request and the men were now going to work hard to show their appreciation of this.

TOO LOW WAGES. Other Reasons Why We Get
 Discouraged. LahOr's TireSOms Sameness Wears
 Brain and Body. Depressed System Is Often
 Badly NOurished. Paine's Celery Compound a Perfect Remedy.
Better Even Than Rest and
 Change for the Weary.

The more minutely all kinds of work become subdivided, the more sameness and monotony creep into each mans labor.
 Day after day, day after day, in the same rut till little interest remains in the work, and the mind and body are gradually robbed of energy and healthy elasticity Unless something is done, the prolonged strain Is likely to result in health failure nervous symptoms appear, cares that were once lightly cast off now stick like burs, slight phy- sical exertion tires, and the end Is com plete prostration and breaking down of some vital organ.
 Business men feel this, public off1- cials, wage earners, housekeepers, every man and woman whose work allows of little or no rest and change.
 At the first small beginnings of ner- vousness or when languid feelings do not disappear after a sound nights s sleep. the prudent person should know that he or she must check this decline in health by the use of that one genu- ine nerve food and blood renewer, Paines celery compound.
 The family physician knows its power over diseases of exhaustion and de- bility when he orders it, as so many careful practitioners are now doing in every city and small town throughout the United States.
 As soon as one has fairly begun to use Paine's celery compound, every day will be a firm step toward assured health. Nervous, unhappy, and feeble persons find their flesh becomes more solid, a more healthy color takes the place of the waxy, sal1ow look, and there comes a. clear increase in the vol tune of the blood and an increased normal appetite because of this rapid feeding of. the entire system. Work becomes easier.
 This searching tonic goes at once to the very causes of nervous disaster and breakdown. It is invaluable in all wasting diseases in all cases where unusual demands are made on the sys- tenn. Especially is it true in the case of mothers and invalids recovering from sickness.
 Paine's celery compound has saved thousands from 1nournful years of fee bIeness, from the weariness of pain and from bodily weakness. It means health and happiness.
