A Ringing Poem by Englands Greatest
 Living Bard.

 If there was ever any possibility of Algernon Charles Swinburne's being ap- pointed poet laureate of England that possibility has been destroyed by his bold and ringing poem on Cromwell's statue.
 The occasion of the poem is the re- fusal of the house of commons on June IT of the present vesa. to accord a statue in Westminster abl 60 the great com moner

THE VANISHING RED MAN.
At the Present Rate of Decrease the Full Flooded Indian Will Soon Disappear.

At the Present Rate of Decrease the Full
 Flooded Indian Will Soon Disappear.
 To, the poor Indian, is growing scarcer and scarcer as time advances, and will probably disappear altogether as fun blooded Indian before the end of another century. The total Indian population at this time, according to estimates made by the officials of the Indian bureau, is 248, 253, exclusive of the Indians of Alaska. In 1899, before the annexation of Texas and Mexico, the estimated h. dian population of the country was 400,- GOO. In 1855 the number was said to be $50, 900, and the same estimate is made for 1871. The most rapid decline in numbers has been in the last quarter 0 this century. The fact that the Chero- kees and GhippeWas, both comparative ly powerful tribes, have actually in- creased ill numbers makes the decrease ill the other tribes all the more remark able.
 It is believed that the principal loss has been among the Sioux and other tribes of the northwest. More than two- thirds of the total number, or 237, 478, in 1871 were on the reservations. At the beginning of this year the number on the reservations had been decreased to 133, AT, or about one-third of the total number Less than 30, GOO of these are self supporting, the federal govern ment issuing supplies to most of them. If the rate of decrease which has been maintained for the last quarter of cen tury or so be continued, there will not be single full blooded Indian in the country, except possibly in dime muse ums, by the end of the twentieth cen tury. y.-Troy Press.

An Encounter With A Wildcat.

Harry Prutzman of Leosport, q brake man on the Pennsylvania railroad, had an exciting adventure this week on Frisker's mountain, near Gouglersville. He had day off and was out picking huckleberries.
 He came to mountain spring and lay down on his stomach to take drink While in this position a wildcat sprang out of tree above him and alighted upon his back. The animal sank its claws deep into his flesh, causing great pain. Having no weapon to defend him. self, his chances seemed very slender for coming out of the contest with the yi- cious animal alive,
 However, he turned, and after des- perate struggle succeeded ill throwing the animal from him and regaining his feet. It immediately sprung upon him again, tearing his clothing and rending his flesh with it's sharp claws, After several encounters, which greatly weak ened and fatigued him, he managed to deal the animal sound kick, which sent it away some distance and gave him an opportunity to grasp @ club. which was lying near, With this he nanaged to keep 1t at bay, and after a duel of about ten minutes it apparently became tired of the attack and moved away, when Prutzman escaped. -Phila- delphia Press.

She was Absorbed In Her Paper.

She was businesslike woman. There was nothing frivolous in her face, if I am any reader of countenances. She looked as if she could drive a bargain with the skill of an expert. She boarded 6 Main street car, walked calmly to the front corner, sat down and began to read newspaper,
 After several other persons had got on the conductor came forward to ooi- lect the fares. The woman did not look up from her paper The conductor rang up number of fares, and then began to look puzzled. Evidently his receipts did not correspond with the mental note he had made of the number he should col lect.
 "Did I get your fare?" he asked of 8 man sitting on the opposite side of the car. The reply was affirmative.
 "And yours?" turning to his neigh Dor. Still an affirmative reply. The wo- man continued absorbed in her paper. The conductor looked hard at her sev- eral times. but evidently her sex saved her from an accusation of trying to beat the company,
 The conductor shook his head sadly and returned to the rear platform. Then the woman stopped reading, and with just the ghost of smile on her face be- gan looking out of the window. Buff falo Express.

Great Things Expected of the Jersey Cen.
 traPs New FIier.
 On the stroke of 6:12 o'clock every evening there pulls out of the Jersey Central station, in Jersey City, new and huge locomotive which can run a mild ill 36 seconds. This monster arouses such interest in all who catch q glimpse of 1t that every evening crowd of men and women-passengers by the various outgoing trains-gather around it and gaze on 1t with amazement Even ths engineers and firemen from other traina show an unusual interest ip it,
 The engine is No. 385 and was built by the Baldwin Locomotive company of Philadelphia for the Philadelphia and Reading, under contract to make the run from Camden to Atlantic City, 90 miles, in 90 minutes. 1t is running temporarily on the Royal Blue line to Philadelphia to get ready for service, It is d compound engine, built on the English model, with small smoke stack, and is the only locomotive of the kind in existence. Ill its general appear ance it impresses one as being much larger than it really is It is higher than the ordinary locomotive, but by actual measurement it is an inch less ill length than engines of the biggest type in use. The driving wheels are the central feature. There are two instead of four, as is the rule on other passenger engines. Instead of being at the back of the locomotive they are ill the middle and directly under the cab. They are feet high.
 The engine is equipped with Wooster firebex and burns very fine bpckwheat coal. It is run under 200 pounds steam pressure and uses the steam twice, for high and low pressure, which insures g saving of fuel and water
 This locomotive is expected to rev olutionize railroad transportation, and its trial trips are being watched with a great deal of interest by railroad men. New York Sun.

Queer Things In Georgia.

Colonel Q. L. Williford of Madison has in his possession 2 silver quarter that has .a history. It was coined in 1891, and was cut out of mules shoul- der few days ago by MT. J, H. Aims lie. The mule was owned by MT. George Waters, who got Mir. Aipslie to make the operation. He inserted his knife and found hard substance, which he ex- tracted with little trouble, and which he found to be the above mentioned quarter The operation was performed in the presence of Messrs J. H. and Walter Ainslie and George Waters and several negroes. How the quarter ever got there is indeed mystery. Atlanta Constitu- tion

Shutter posts and breech blocks flew open, bnlkhead doors were closed, mag azlnes were opened and charges hoisted up for the guns. In what seemed to the emperor an incredibly short time silence reigned again. Men and officers were standing at their guns, the executive of fcer had reported the ship ready, and all stood silent and attentive, waiting the captains further commands.
 The emperor timed it all, and found that just 1 minute and 30 seconds had elapsed since the sounding of the call 50 quarters. He expressed himself as great ly surprised at the celerity with which an American man of war is made ready for business.

a Shark.
 A sl lark 10 feet long was caught on q hook y young lady while fishing for halibu from the deck of the steamship Queen at Killisnoo banks, between Fort Wrang el and Sitka, on a recent Alaska trip. The Queen lay there at anchor for three | ours to allow the passengers an opportt inity to engage in the exciting sport If halibut fishing, and large numbe of highly elated fishermen with large b ooks and lines were landing one and tw Q large fish at a haul when the young lady, who Collector Mcdonald thinks was Miss K. A. Sprague of San Fran ciseo, discovered that upon her line was the strongest and largest fish of the season, but imagine her excitement when, by the help of gentleman, the ugly, vicious looking monster of the deep was pulled to the surface of the water and found to be shark
 The excitement of the large crowd was intense, but the p1uclky young lady did not lose her nerve, and hung on to the line till rope i'll the form of a lasso was securely fastened around the sea fighters tail, rendering it helpless. It was then shot dead, and by the efforts of several men hauled to the lower deck.
 It measured ten feet in length and weighed 40 pounds. It was not of the man eating variety, there being none of that kind so far north. It was more of a stupid, sluggish, ugly kind which live on fish and was probably making havoc in the halibut banks
 Captain Carroll of the Queen, before returning, had some of the teeth of the sea monster removed and preserved for the heroic young lady, who probably en- joys the distinction of being the only woman who ever made such capture OH the Pacific coast. Seattle Post-In telligencer,

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
The Fidelity of the Slaves During the
 Civil War to Be Commemorated.

Civil War to Be Commemorated.
 The fidelity of the slaves during the civil war to the families they served has long been matter of history and &C., knowledged as one of the noble quail ties of the African race.
 A more substantial recognition is to be made of it ill the village of Fort Mill, s. O., one of whose citizens is about to erect monument ill honor of the devotion of the southern slave, and the authorities will give 1t place iD the public square. The monument will be a tall shaft, having on one side @ ne- gro woman nursing her masters babe and on the other negro man holding an agricultural implement.
 It is proposed to inscribe it with 8 passage from Henry w. Grady, conclud. ing with these words: "Often 800 ne- groes to a single white man, and yet through these dusky throngs the women and children walked in safety and the unprotected homes rested in peace. Un- marshaled the black battalions moved patiently to the fields in the morning to feed the armies their idleness would have starved, and at night gathered anxiously at the big house to hear the news from marster, though conscious shat his victory made their chains en- during.

Mrs. Allen Brown of Springfield, O.. :, claims to have been cured by faith. Her story is q most remarkable one For months she has suffered intensely with abdominal trouble and was in such a preearions condition that her recovery was despaired of by physicians. One afternoon recently a prayer meeting was held at her home, and while earnestly engaged ill prayer the long afflicted lady says she was cured. There has been no indication of return of her malady, and she seemed to have regained her health completely. - Cincinnati En- n1lirer
