FIFTEEN rupees, less than four dol
lars, is the reward that has been given
to the native Indian soldiers who were
mentioned in general orders for con-
spicuous gallantry and devotion during
the Chitral campaign. One man, who
had thirty-one wounds to show, received
the order of merit.

sent from Cherbourg to the naval ar.
senal at Havre, where they are ready to
be mounted on the steamers of the
Compagnie Generate Transatlantique,
the Gascogne, Bourgogne, Bretagne,
Champagne and Touraine whenever

Berlin treaties.

MADAGASCAR PRINCEssEs.
Interesting Duskv Females Who Have a
Lively Time,

Madagascar's royal princesses have
been prominent, though-from this dis
tance-shadowy figures in all the stir
ring and dramatic scenes of the war that
France is now waging to re-establish hel
protectorate over that savage isle.
The Sunday World has published full
details regarding the personality of the
queen of Madagascar and the prime min.
lister, who is also her husband, but au-
thentic descriptions of the other members
Of the royal family or of the women of
the island themselves have not been OBJ
tanable. A Frenchmen who served his
government at Antananarivo, the capital,
for several years has returned and gives
some interesting side lights upon the
manners and customs of that far-Off spot.
The queens sister, the Princess Rasen-
dranora, is the second lady of the land.
She is fat and little past forty years of
age For years she has kept the gOsslps
Of the capital busy discussing her scan
dalOus adventures. She has been mar
red three times and is at present single,
her third husband having mYsteriOusly
disappeared, as did his two predecessors.
1t is said she never was very beautiful,
even from a natives point of view, but
now she is extraordinarily homely and
gepusve. She gets shockingly drunk at
intervals, and the recent excitement of
addressing the populace and urging them
to enlist to repel the invasion OF the
hated viii e men threw her inJO tie wild
est frenzy.
In point of rank, the queens aunt,
Ramasindrasana, comes next. She bit
terly hates the French, and since they
have been in control of the island her
house has been the place where number
less plots and conspiracies have been
formed The meaning of the words
virtue and morality is unknown among
the women of Madagascar, and the Pnn-
cess 'Ramasindrasana is no exception.
She is married, but the number OF her
fayontes has been great, and they have
succeeded one another with dizying ra-
pidlty. AS Catharine of Russia used to
do, she sends them in exile to remote
quarters of the island, and they are put
to death if they return before they are
forgiven. The Princess Ramasindrasana
is also far from being beautiful or young.
Her favomte drink is rum and she cheWs
tobacco
In her palace Ga frame house, on the
square of AndalhO, at the capital there
are two chairs that are reserved for Eu.
Topean visitors. The princess herself

Walk Thousand Miles to worship.

From the Toronto (Ont.) Mail.
The history of Canada, especially It's
earliest history, preserves the story OF
many deed of heroism and devotion on
the part of Christian missionaries VINO
worked and persisted among the Indians,
but there are few stories which reflect
SO much credit on Indian piety as that
published from Quebec. Montagnais and
Eskimos came from the southern shore
of Hudson strait to worship in the prov
ince of Quebec. This involved tramp
on foot for 1000 miles. No pilgrimage
IN the middle ages was ever made in G., CIR
substances of greater hardship. Inc
citizen who is loath to walk a block 10
church along smooth, dry pavement
ought to think of these Indians plodding
1000 miles through an inhospitaole coun-
try, through forests, across rivers, noun
tans md lakes to render duty they owe
20 their religion.

The FfpanoisI Situation as 1t Is.
rom the Nempbis Appeal

From the memphis Appear.
We have an administration openly
supporting gold recommendation. Con-
gress has repealed the law which was
said to be the cause of all the trouble.
There is nowhere a line upon the statute
books authorizing the coinage of another
silver dollar. The administration has
been left unfetted in the matter of issu-
ing bonds. The gold standard party is
in the saddle, and all the prerequisites
to restoration of confidence" have
been conceded or obtained.
1t is mere idle vaporing to attempt to
lay the blame of the governments i'm
potency on the silver men now. What is
the matter? 1t is proud fruition Of our
gold standard that three big CAPT talist
are mightier than the government of the
United States; and it has came to pass
tnat this, the greatest country upon
earth, must lean upon wealth and credit
of the private individuals who have
amassed almost incalculable fortunes
out of the system.
Indeed. it seems to be true that "the
money pc has got us by the leg"

A TALL REUNION.
Thirtv-seven Feet and Four Inches of Sons
Visit Their Parents.

Thirtv-seven Feet and Four Inches of Sons
Visit Their Parents.
From the Oil City Derrick.
There was a family reunion at Tones
ia, Pa, on Wednesday, that calls for
more than mere mentioned. 1t was the
gathering together of father, mother and
six sons, all of the latter over twenty one
years of age. This family group had
not all been together since the boys,
some of them years ago, went out into
the world to fight their battles for them
selves. Mr.. and Mrs. Harmon Coleman
are the father and mother, both hale and
hearty, and the sons names are J. F.,
Henry, William, j. E., S. w. and Frank.
The main object of this item is not so
much TO mention the fact of the happy
reunion as to try and picture to the
reader the size of the six long-separated
sons, or rathar their respective and col
lective heights. Here are the exact fig
ures: J. +. is six feet five inches; Henry,
six feet two inches; William, six feet
three inches; j. E. six feet five inches !;
S. w. six feet three inches and Frank, The
short one of the stalwart family, an exact
six feet. These measurements were all
taken in stockingfeet. The total height
of the whole seXtet is thirty-seven feet
four inches. The father and mother are
only about the average height of ord nary
mortals. The boys are well TODD in the
towns and cities where they are located.

FLAYED 4 Bluff GAME.

minister's Bluff Atlanta's Council and
Rarkeepers.
Macon Telegraph Special.
There are something like a dozen
Methodist ministers in Atlanta whom
it would be dangerous to go up against
over jackpot. AS BUFFERS they are
almost beyond human vision. They can
not be touched by any previous occur
renee IN local history, political or other
wise.
Yesterday these Methodist divines got
together on the eve of councils action
upon the midnight saloon ordinance,
and proceeded to "call' the game With
consecrated solemnity they declared that
they would call a prohibition election
because the saloon men were disposed
to inch up on the present regulations.
1t had appeared that council would
grant the petition of the saloon men But
council had not stopped to consider the
Methodist ministers of the town, and
when they met to dispose of the liquor
ordinance they found the ministers bluff
staring them in the face. An earthquake
would be more desirable to the city than
a prohibition election during She exposi-
ton and the council could do nothing
but throw up Its hand to the preachers
bluff. They sat down on the extension
ordinance, and now all appears to be Sc
rene. The preachers today practically
admit that they were bluffing with the
council, and are clucking in their sleeves
at the success of their scheme.

RANSOM IS IN HARD LUCK
His Salary Withheld Pending Con-
frmation By the Senate,
Acting Auditor Willie Decides That
He Has No Authority to Pay
the Minister His Wages.

Ill luck seems to be the luck Of United
States Minister Ransom. one trouble follow
ing close upon the heels Of another. Now Mr..
Willie, acting auditor OF the Treasury for
the State Department, has decided that Nj
Ransom's salary as minister to Mexico
cannot be paid until he is confirmed by
the Senate. He bases his decision upon
the law, which reads.
Section lT61-No money shah be paid
from the Treasury as salary 10 any person
appointed during the recess Of the Senate
to fill vacancy in any existing office, If
the vacancy existed while the Senate was
in session, and was by law required TO
be filled by and with the advice and con
sent of the Senate, until such appointee
has been confirmed by the Senate.
The question of allowing him expenses,
etc, has not yet been taken up. IL is stated
that Minister Ransom himself raised the
point whether he could be paid prior TO
confirmation, as he wanted To- know
exactly where he stood before he departed
for Mexico, that he might make the neces-
sary financial arrangements for his main
tenance. Congress wiz have to provide
for his salary between July 1, the date it
was held up, and tue date when he may be
confirmed.
