VERY MUCH TO THE POINT.
A Good Parrot Story With Univer-
sal Moral to It.

A we'll known playwright was dining
with number of gentlemen, when one
of the company present became obtru-
sively laxative. No hint could stop the
offender; he seemed only to be melted
to increased chatter At last when it be-
came evident that either the foolish fell
lows gable must be ended or an sd
iournment made, the dramatist turned to
him aud asked him if he had heard the
latest parrot story. He said he had not.
1Assure me that you will not think 4
mean to make any personal application
and will tell it," said the pla1FrKbt.
"Of course I WON'T" was tbe victana Z
innocent response, as he settled down
eagerly for the story.
SWELL" said the dramatist, "a parrot
sat upon the perch in one corner of the
room. A bulldog, fresh arrival in the
household, was in another corner.
'.sS-s-seek 'em,' said the parrot;
's-s-seek 'em, Bobp
"The new dog sprang to his feet and
looking for something to seek, but find
ing nothing, lay down again.
1.-THE parrot clambered down from his
perch and waddled across to where Boil,
was lying.
"sS-s-seek 'cm, Bob be said again.
"This time the dog found something
to seek. He pounced upon the parrot,
tore him, shook him and boxed him about
until the poor bird was we'll nigh dead
"When the dog had at last been called
off the poor parrot struggled up to biz
perch, looked about the floor where hi
beautiful feathers lay scattered, scanned
himself closely, noted his one remaining
tail feather and said:
81 know what's the matter with me-
talk too much
The dinner proceeded without further
interruption, for the preparatory denia
of personal application had fully don
its work.-Tit Bits.

New York Recorder: OF the inQ1yfdual1
hunting grounds thoss d ". esward
Webb in the Adirondack region, ccu1pris-
Ing Il, 900 acres, are about the hasst u
the country. Or. Webb calls his estate
No He Sane Park, and during the so
soa. hin flne house there Is always flled
to overlooking. He keeps an immense
arsenal Of hunting weapons always on:
hand for the convenience Of his guests,
and large kennels stocked with all vari-
cites Of dogs for the chase. With the
wealth of the Vanderbilts At his disposal
be conducts everything on lavish scsle,
and the rough guides Of the Adirondacks
are kept in perpetual state Of astonish-
ment at the amount OF money the New
York swells spend to shoot deer whose
market value may be $12.
George Gould has also q fine hunting
place in the Catskills called Fnrlough
Lodge. The house is log affair, and,
while the exterior is rough, the interior
is . marvel of luxury and case. Mr..
Gould is clever sportsman, having hunt
ed all the big game of the West, but he
claims there is more excitement In bring
ing to earth brace of lively partridges
than mailing a grizzly at long range.
He has never met the latter beast at close
quarters and says that he doesn't care to,
a. he is not anxious to match his life
against the empty glory of killing bear.
While August Corbin is member OF
good many hunting clubs he spends most
of the shooting season at his own estate,
called Blue Mountain Forest Park, near
Newport, N. H. The estate comprises
10000 acres and the owner has spent tens
of thousands of dollars in stocking il
with a large variety Of animals. It is
one of Mr.. Corbin's hobbies to perpetuate
the buffalo, and he now has more than
so of the species running through bis
grounds. They are in fine, healthy shape
and are increasing rapidly. In five years
Mr.. Corbin says that he will have couple
of hundred of them.
He also has 500 deer on the place and
300 wild bears. There are 80 moose and
$50 elk, besides vast numbers of German
hares, Chinese pheasants and the game
native to the region. The animals have
such vast area Of country to roam over
that they are wild and timid, and afford
splendid sport in the chase. None of the
buffalo are hunted, as they are such easy
marks with the long range rifles of to-
day that it would be pure slaughter to
kill them, besides Mr.. Corbin's sole pur-
pose is to increase their number.
George Vanderbilt is rapidly getting
bis immense estate near Asheville, N. c.,
into fine hunting order, although person
ally he is not much Of sportsman. The
country there abounds with game, but he
has supplemented nature by adding large
numbers of varieties of foreign birds.

A Good Speech.

The group at the Hotel Page were talk
ing about orators and oratory, when up
spoke Col. Samuel Dalton of Louisiana:
'sThe best speech ever heard, the most
pointed, cogent and convincing, emanated
from an old friend of mine, Steve Sharp
of Fayette county, KY, my former home.
1t was right after the war, and Steve was
running on the Democratic ticket for
County Jailer. He had served already
several times as deputy. The prospects
of Democratic success seemed hopeless.
For the first time the negroes were going
to vote, and of course they could be relied
on to vote solidly for the Republican
nominees.
'sThere was to be grand barbecue and
Republican rally at precinct where the
colored people were thick. Steve was
nervey enough to attend the meeting.
There were about 1000 darkies present
and not over dozen whites, all Of whom,
save Mr.. Sharp, were radicals dye. He
asked permission to address the audience
and was at first refused, but finally the
chairman Of the meeting concluded thai
Steve could do no harm, so he introduced
him to the audience in way calculated
to cover him with ridicule, and winding
up with the consoling statement tha
nothing Steve could say would have any
effect on the colored brethren present
In the coolest way possible Che had never
made pnblic speech before) Stew
mounted the platform, aud making pro
found bow, said:
"'My Colored Friends: You all know
that l have served for four years AZ dep
uty jailer Of this county. In my officia
capacity / have had the pleasure of meet
ing you all. I am here to solicit you
votes for jailer, and all can say is tina
if by your aid l am elected to Office,
promise you the same treatment in tn
future that have accorded you in past.
ssHere Steve sat down amid storm 0
cheers, and he knew by the vociferousnes
thereof that he had scored hit. He had

Cost of Great Tunnels,

In comparing the four great tunnels, it
is interesting to note that time is an ex-
traordinary element in the cost. The
oldest tunnel-Hoosac-cost 1919 foot;
Mount Gents, the next Oldest, cost 1856
foot; st. Gothhard cost 1929 foot; and
the most recent tunnel of the four-the
Arlberg cost only 1854 foot. All four
were in old-settled countries, with abund-
ant labor, and the very great difference
in cost per foot plainly marks the pro-
gress Of science, because it YVES the in
vention and improvement in tools that
made it possible to reduce the time and
thus the cost. To observe the difference
between the work on the three great Eu-
ropean tunnels, built by Government aid
in old settled countries, it may be well
to observe for moment the work done
on comparatively small tunnel built far
from civilization through the Cascade
mountains on the line Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. The mountains through
which the tunnel is cut is :, 700 feet above
the sea, and the peak Is 1885 feet above
the floor of the tunnel. To understand
the magnitude and difficulty of this IN :
dertaking it must be observed that the
site of the tunnel, at the time the contract
for its construction was signed, was an I'M
broken wilderness. At the then existing
terminus of rail connection everything
men and tents, food, horses, machinery
lumber, hospitals, and, in feet the ma
terial of the army had to be transported
over improvised roads 80 miles through
forests, through snow and mud, to the
east portal of the tunnel and 81 miles to
the west portal. Six months passed be-
fore all the machinery was on the spot
/ Rivers had to be turned aside, bridges
built, camps established and men and
horses collected, fed, housed and cared fol
nearly 100 miles from locomotive. The
tunnel is 1911 feet wide and % feet high,
and the entire distance $3.50 fset) va

BUCHANAN's LAST HOURS.
The Respite Expires Mt Midnight and
the Prisoners Chances slim.

Sing Sing, April 29.-The respite grant
ed by Gov. Morton in the case of Dr.
Buchanan expires at midnight to-mor-
row. and unless the court interferes the
condemned man will be executed Wednes-
day morning.
Buchanan relies solely on the efforts
making by his lawyers to save him from
the electric chair. He was extremely ner-
vous this morning When Warden Sage
and DR.. Irvine visited him the first ques-
ton he asked them was whether they had
heard any news from his attorneys in
New York. They had decided to make ap-
plication TO the court to-day for a writ
of habeas corpus, and should this be de-
MED to file notice of another appeal to the
United States court. Buchanan has made
no preparation for death. and should he
have to go to the electric chair Wednes-
day morning it is thought he will be in
fearful condition.
Warden Sage has completed all the ar
rangements for the killing of Buchanan
Wednesday, and the new invitations have
all been received by the persons who will
witness the execution. The hour fixed for
the execution is II O'clock
Mrs. Buchanan, who visited her hus-
band yesterday afternoon and remained
with him for a long time, will probably
go to the prison again tomorrow if the
legal struggle Of the lawyers to save
her husband is unsuccessful. She will
then take her last leave of him.
New York, April 29.-Judge Brown, of
the United States district court, this fore
noon denied the application for writ Of
habeas corpus made by the counsel in be-
half Of DR.. Buchanan.

MEMORIAL DAY IN ERFINGHAM.
The Exercises at GuytOn-Sr. Beck
VYith's Address.


Guyton. April 2S-The Memorial day ex-
ercises in Guyton were on a more impos-
ing scale this year than mas ever been
known. The decorations of the graves of
the confederate dead in the cemetery were
Chaste and beautiful. OF the tWenty-siX
graves there was not one but was beneath
d carpet of natures purest and richest
offerings.
The Memorial address was by Hon. J. F.
=. Beckwith, collector of customs of Sa-
Vannah 1t was 4 noble tribute TO the
heroes of the lost cause.
The day was a beautiful one. and crowds
of people visited the cemetery and took
uart IN the exercises. Mr.. BecNWith was
met upon mis- arrival in the morning by
committee of citizens consisting Of Mayor
Sweat, ard AIessrs. James $. Neidlinger,
A. Z. Bird, and Angus GrOvenstein, and
was escorted TO the hotel. The Bingham
Hussars were a part OF the escort.
The parade took place in the afternoon
The Hussars assembled at the station and
formed as escort 10 the speaker and the
committee to the cemetery. Here the mill
itary was formed in line and stood at pa
Tade rest during the address. Mr.. Beck
with paid a high tribute to the brave men
who died in defense of cause they be-
lieved to be just and whose memory grows
dearer as the years roll by. His address
was received with applause. At its con-
clusion the Hussars fired three volleys
over the graves of the departed heroes
and the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. NJ. Hurt, pastor OF the Baptist

where the Old Rails Go.
From the Manufacturer.

A well known official of the Pennsylvania
railroad says that that company pays S24
per ton (now $22) and that the rails used
on that line average eighty-five pounds to
the yard. When it has passed its useful
stage the rail is replaced. The old rails
that are taken out from time to time are
gathered up every month and sold to Junk
and scrap dealers at S12 per ton. It can
readily be seen that the company pays
only S12 for the use of rails per ton. The
price received from the scrap man is a
good figure, when it is known that the rails
when sold. are of no use to the company.
Rails that are not much worn are sold
10 factories along the road at $1S per ton,
where they are used for sidings, and an
swer the purpose quite as well as new
rails. There are many uses to with the old
rail Is put. great amount of barb wire
fencing is made of railroad iron, and very
often the rails are used as foundations for
large buildings.

in this city from Washington yesterday.
and last night sent check for 5000 to p.
II. Dwyer to bind the match between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
The 5000 in question will stand as a

Beggnrs' Hard Lot.
From the Washington Post.

A man who makes a practice of giving
aims to almost every beggar that accosts
him on the street has unique explana-
ton for his action.
Street begging is the hardest work in
the world" he says. "Supposing % per
cent Of all the beggars in the business to
be imposters, what do you observe? A
woman crouching all day over a hurdy
gurdy waiting for the pennies that are
dropped into her tin receptacle; men stand
ing in the byways and on dark street cor
ners in the cold without an overcoat,
asking you as you pass to give them
dime to buy a cup of coffee. Suppose they
make a dollar day that way. II you
think that's a comfortable business just
try it for an experiment. Don't take any
reckoning Of the hard things that are
said to them. Pride soon becomes cal
loused under such a strain; but just look
at II from the standpoint of the amount Of
hard work involved and the discomforts
from cold and exposure. You'll soon come
to the conclusion that almost any kind Of
manual labor is lighter than street beg
ging: and for that reason never enquire
whether a begsar is deserving or not

Of choice he deserves ali he can get
But suppose every man should take

could engage inf'
