RObbedaDying man.

Two days before his death in
Memphis, and when he realized
that he was dying, Capt. John
Hawkins told.his brother that in a
large pocket hook in a bureau IN
his room at Durant were his in
surance policies for about $4,000,
some ether valuable papers and a
sum of money, After the funeral
his brother went to get the book,
when it was discovered that the
room had been entered and the
papers stolen. 1t will be a diff.
cult matter to collect ,lost of the
insurance, as the thief bestowed all
the papers. There is no clue to
the identity of this meanest OF all
thieves, but a determined effort
will be made to run him down.

about II O'Clock a. IN. One of the
men who seemed superior to the
other in intellect as we'll as in size,
advanced toward Mr.. Bailey with
a pistol in his hand and asked him
if he had a pistol he wanted to
trade. Mr.. Bailey informed him
that he did not, and pulling bot
tie from his pocket the stranger
asked him to take a drink, which
Mr.. Bailey also refused, stating
that he never drank anything
stronger than "Adam's Ale. The
stranger at last asked Bailey if he
had any money, to which he replied
in the negative. "But," said the
stranger, slapping his hand against
Bailey's pocket, "you have got
money" The fellow then covered
Bailey with his pistol while his
partner sand hagged him and re

A Yankee farmer in Brazil who
longed for the cooling liquids Of
his native land, and was unable to
obtain them in that tropical coun-
try, has utilized kite for the pur
pose of obtaining ice. He fills a
tin can with water and sends it to
the height of three miles, where it
is promptly frozen. After a sufll-
cient interval the kite is rapidly
hauled in and the cake of ice is Sc
cured. The inventor is SO pleased
with his toy that he now proposes
to send up a kite 80 feet long by
a steel wire cable. Under the kite
will be suspended a pully, over
which runs an endless chain bear
ing cans attached to hooks. The
cans will be filled with water, and
the speed of the belt upon which
they run will he regulated SO that
the topmost cans will be converted
into ice, sufficiently hard to stand
the downward journey. This is
certainly the most original ice ma
chine of which we have ever heard.
We have the authority of the
South American Journal for this
kite flying.

Some time ago the House passed a res
oution asking DR.. Hopkins. president of
the state archaeological school. to report
a plan by which poor boys could work
their way through the chronological
school. To-day a communication was re-
ceived and read an answer 10 this query.
DR.. Hopkins states that the commission
and faculty have often had this matter
under consultation, and that 1t had always
been their most earnest endeavOr TO find
way IN which the good dement's OF the
institution could be extended TO the poorer
classes Of young men. As yet, however
they had arrived at no satisfactory con-
cusion. The work Of the undergraduate
has no monetary value.
DR.. Hopkins in his communications sug-
gests as perhaps the best solution OF the
problem that llmltci number OF Schol-
arships endowed either 10y private munifi-
cence or by the legislature be established
for the benefit of such worthy young men

THE YACHT PUZZLE.
The True Reason Why She was nj

Brunswick. Ca. Nov. 23.-Some months
ago Brunswick was deeply stirred by va
rious reports of a Cuban expedition being
filled out to sail from this port. What
lent color to the rumors were extensive
repairs being made on the steam yacht
Puzzle, which about that time was brought
here from Jacksonville. Various move
ments in connection with this yacht ex-
cited the suspicious of the officials here.
and the Spanish consulate was in a per-
petual state of unrest for several weeks
The work on the Puzzle and the alleged
assembly of a crew, together with sus-
picious looking boxes, kept every one in
terested on the alert, and when the Puzzle
finally sailed the press gave her destina-
ton as Cuba The agents of the yacht
maintained a strict silence, but when the
Puzzle finally landed in New York and a
morning paper gave column interview
with her master the Brunswick public
read it, and concluded that their former
suspicious We're groundless, and that she
was not brought here to carry out hlibus-
ters. This impression still re
mains among the majority. The Morning
News correspondent, however, had Sc
cured direct and convincing statement
10 the contrary from an authoritative
source, and the informant Mr. George
johnson, of the export firm of Flint, Ell
dy d Co, New York; is the authority.
AIR. johnson has charge of the Atlanta
exhibit of the concern, is president Of
the exhibitors association and reliable in
every particular. On a recent visit 10
Brunswick the correspondent accompan-
led him to st. Simons and while on the
boat he told the story of the Puzzle She
was brought to Brunswick to carry arms,
ammunition and men to the Cuban insur-
gents. Every preparation was made with
the greatest care, but through the VIII
lance of Mr.. Rosenda Tomas, the Spanish
consul at this port, the plans were frus-
trated and the firm was compelled 10
