REBELS SURRENDERING

st. Louis, March 5.-Late dispatches
from Havana state that the governor of
the province of Santiago has replied to
the governor general that the rioters at
Blaire and disposed to surrender and a
favorable result of parleying with them
is expected very soon. The entire band of
insurgents in Jugua Grande with Marero,
their leader, has surrendered. Bartello
Marto commander of 500 men in the dis
trict of Mantenzillo. has taken refuge in
the mountains and is completely dis
couraged. There is a band of 1900 men
under Amador Guerraa and a small band
is stationed at Bamayo, headed by Este
ben Lemayo. The military commander of
GuatanmO reports that several members
of Pedro Perez's band have surrendered.
The ocials of the district assert that the
rebel forces there number only $50 men
that they are poorly armed and have very
little ammunition. 1t is thought that
they expect a fresh supply from abroad,
as warships are cruising along the coasts
to intercept any vessels that may bring
ammunition.

A Bicy, Gle that Fits Into q vaIise.

A Frenchman has invented bicycle
that can be taken apart, packed in valise
and carried, it is claimed, with ease and
comfort whenever the wheelman is trav-
cling by rail. IL the wheel breaks down
on the road, the rider can uncouple the
parts and carry it slung over his shoulder.
The machine is not built for fast riding,
hut only for ordinary road work. The
wheels are / "a inches in diameter, the
toothed wheel which communicates the
power from the penals being nearly as
large. 1.-THE horizontal bar is in two parts,
which are securely screwed When the
bar Is unscrewed the machine is in two
parts, the first step toward packing The
saddle is removed and the handles are
taken off The four pieces are then
packed into valise measuring 23 1-2 in
ches by Is "a by little more than 2-5
inches. The whole weight of the ma
chine is Is "a pounds. II the wheelman
breaks down on the road he divides his
machine into four pieces and balances the
parts over his shoulder with padded
strap provided for the purpose. The in
ventor insists that this is great deal bet
ter than having to hold crippled ma
chine up and trundle it. The machine
can he put together or taken apart in
about two minutes.

A Wonderful American Road.

Henan G. Cooke and G. A. Fauble, who
are exploring San Miguel Mountain, near
San Diego, were reported some days ago
to have found an ancient roadway and
tunnel to gold mine. They say the re-
port as to the tunnel was mistake, as
was shown by furthur excavation into the
hillside. Their deception was due to the
fact that slide of rock and earth down
the mountain side had made deposit, in
natural way, having the appearance Of a
tunnel debris.
They firmly believe that gold mine Is
there somewhere, and intend to continue
their search. They have found ore lodges
and have filed locations on three mining
claims, all showing good prospects.
Their description Of the old graded
roadway naturally leads to interesting
speculation as to who constructed 1t.
They say II can easily be seen that dirt
road over the crest of the Hog back, ris.
ing from the Sweetwater river well up the
mountain side, was first travelled extern
sively. But later travel was diverted over
part of the distance to level shelf, and
this new road Is the one that creates won-
der and astonishment. The grade is so
perfe that Cooke and Fauble firmly be-
l,eve 1t was established by the best Of sur
veying instruments. The solid rock has
been cut out 30 deep that powder or some
other explosive must have been used. The
fills on the lower side have been made on
true lines, and distance Of 1000 or more
fest of this kind Of work shows educated
Workmanship.

A SONG OF PRAISE.

when winter clothes the earth In white.
When coldest winds are blowing,
When shortest day brings longest night
When icy streams are flowing
Then In the shelter Of the home
We know the Joy of living.
And in the cheerful Preside glow
Find cause for true thanksgiving.
When spring returns with sweetest breath
When birds are gayly singing.
When life prevails where once was death,
Relief and gladness bringing
Then in the leafing Of the trees.
In verdure new and tender,
We see the work of Providence,
And hearty praise we render.
When summers dreamy days are ours,
And in the wales and mountains
We view the beauty of the flowers,
The cleaning of the fountains
Then from the glory Of the hills
From splendors wide Astounding.
From all things warm and bright and fail
A call of praise Is sounding.
But chiefly when the autumn comes,
With all its weight of treasure,
And rich reward Of care and toll
Bestows in fullest measure
A myriad orchards, fields and vines,
Proclaim to all the living,
"A loving God supplies your need,
Oh, praise Him with thanksgiving"

In large cities, says Womankind, mid.
dle-aged women throng the gymnasium
and physical culture schools to learn how
to reduce the too abundant flesh and keep
off the rheumatism which is too often
an accompaniment. The woman who
does her own housework has most Of her
muscles called into exercise every day,
and the danger with her is that they are
over exercised; still much relief can be
received by sponging every night after
hard labor with the following inexpensive
lotion: Two ounces of spirits OF ammonia.
two ounces of spirits Of camphor, one and
one-half cups of sea salt, one cup of alco-
hol and one quart of rain water.
The woman whose face and throat are
thin can remedy the thinness by frequent
bathing in cool water, and before retiring
rubbing in some good cream. In rub
bing the wrinkles should be be rubbed
against, so as to rub them out; it is as much
in the rubbing as in the cream. A nice
bit of soft white flannel rubbed several
times daily over the face will be beneficial,
and she whose double chin detracts from
her good looks can, by judicious rubbing
downward, get rid of the superhuity.

Some of the leviathans OF the
deep are protesting, as best they may,
against the big, fast ships which men
are putting on the sea. There have
been desperate efforts to dispute the
right of way across the ocean. The
other day two cases were reported
OF sharks who died I'm gallant at
tempt to stay the course of steamers
one Of them immolating itself before
the bows the other vainly striving to
stay the propeller. But the conduct OF
two huge whales, reported to he sixty
feet I'm length, was more striking still.
They literally charged timber ship
at full speed. and though at the last
moment the least courageous of the
pair shirked the encounter by diving,
the other held straight to its course,
and produced collision. From the
blood which dyed the water the result
to the whale evidently was worse than
a bad headache. But the ship strug-
gled home with considerable hole in
her side, and the loss Of no small por-
ton of her cargo, which had to be
thrown overheard. This aggressive
recklessness adds "a new peril to the
deep, observes London Graphic. Ger
tainly the case Is not so bad as that
which, IL ancient prints are to be be-
lieyed, sometimes befell our seagoing
ancestors, whose ships were occasion
ally swallowed whole by fish; still, it
is not pleasant to be butted by whale
of fifty tons, and small craft treated
in this fashion would probably be
knocked out of time altogether.

GAME IN THE BIG PARK.
An Increase All Around Except In
the Case Of the Bnflalo.

Superintendent Huntley, of the Vel
lOwstone Park Company, says in refer
ence to the tourist season which has
just closed:
I'VE had fairly good season this
year. 1t was much better than the
last two years but not ms good rs in
1890, 1891 and 1892. Last year We
were handicapped by the strike on the
Northern Pacific and washouts. and
in 1893 park business suffered from
the panic. The business was simply
ruined in those two years. The people
are each year approaching more and
more this wonderful region. More
residents of Montana visited the park
this season than any previous year.
There were ten times us many MOn-
tanians who visited the park this sea-
son as in any former year.
THE weather in the park has been
bettr this month than in September.
There Is no snow there, except, per-
haps, high in the mountains. and the
roads are i'm fine condition. The roads,
in fact, are i'm better shape than they
have ever been.
THE road appropriation amounted
to $4,000. Besides this was $4,000
remaining from last year. Every cent
of this has been expended There are
115 miles of stage road in the park, and
the work of keeping them In order is a
big undertaking. The appropriation
Of 100000 Is not large enough. Two
hundred miles OF new road are needed.
Congress should make an appropria-
ton of 100000 year for park roads,
1t would take even Il greater sum than
that to build the two hundred miles Of
highways needed.
"All large game in the park. except
buffalo, Is increasing fast There is
still a small herd of buffalo in the park,
but ii is a constant temptation to the
unprincipled hunter. A buffalo head
is said to be worth from $500 to $500.
The troops give them all the protection
they can, but once in while some dar-
ing pot hunter gets off with hide and
head. In no place in the country is
fishing better than in the park. Seven
years ago the government commenced
stocking the streams Of Wonderland,
and now all afford excellent sport with
the rod. Three varieties of trout have.
been furnished from the government
hatcheries-the rainbow, the Won
Baer and Loeb Leven. The latter IS
the gamiest trout in the world. The
Fire Hole river was stocked largely
with that variety, and four-pounders.
have been taken from ii this summer.
Some Of the small lakes were stocked
with black bass, but bass fishing will
not be allowed for year or two
longer.
Next year is expected to he big
one. We look for many from the Sec
ton reached by the Burlington. The
road opens a new section of country
to Montana, and its benefits were felt
in the park this year. The hotels were
better kept this season than ever be-
fore, although the rates were reduced
twenty-five per cent. 1t will not be
many years before the Grand Canon,
the geysers. springs and wonders OF
the Yellowstone Park will be visited
and appreciated by tens of thousands
of people yearly"

A slGHT-sAvlNG MAGNET.
Il Draws q Piece Of Steel from =
Mans Eve.

A few days ago at the New York Eye
and Ear Infirmary, Thirteenth street
and Second avenue, a fiat piece Of
embedded in patients eye was re-
moved by means of a powerful mag
net. No knife or other surgical instru-
ment was used. 1t was said at the
hospital yesterday that the operation
had been successful and that the
patient. n skilled tool worker. would
probably be able to return to his duties
within three weeks.
About Il week ago Joseph Brown,
81 years old, of Plainfield. Nj. called
at q Plainfield oculist's office to be
treated for severe inflammation of the
left eye. An examination showed that
some foreign substance was embedded
i'm the eyeball, that the cornea was
badly intiamed, the iris torn, and that
the pupil had become Opaque. After
questioning Brown the physician came
to the conclusion that piece of steel
was the cause of the trouble. Three
days before, while Mt work ut a fac
tory i'm Plainfeld. Brown had felt
a sudden pain shoot through his left
eye. He was engaged in boring through
thin steel plate, and it is supposed
that one of the chips pierced the eye
ball. The piece of steel was so deeply
embedded, that to use the knife in
removing it was to destroy the eye.
Brown was therefore brought to the
Eye and Ear Infirmary in this city,
where 1t was decided to try the mag
net.
The use of a magnet i'm removing
small particles of iron and steel from
the eye is not rare, but the process
followed heretofore had been to place
the surface of the magnet in contact
with the offending substance, when
the latter could be easily withdra wn
In Browns case, however, the exact
seat Of the trouble could not be located,
and the physicians decided to try new
method. The patient was placed in a
chair in front of a powerful electro
magnet two feet in length. The mag
net, which was pointed at the ends
nearest the patient, was contested
While one of the doctors held Browns
head firmly the operator gently pushed
the patients chair toward the pointed
ends of the magnet until they rested
on level with the injured eye.
When within few inches Of the
end of the magnet Brown uttered a
cry and jumped from the chair. The
powerful attractive force of the mag
net had drawn the piece of steel out
ward, cutting the eye as though with
a knife. On repetition Of the expert
ment the end of the piece Of steel
appeared on the surface of the eye
then resorted to, and the steel was
drawn out. The eye was dressed, and
Brown was assigned to one Of the
wards in the hospital. 1t was said
yesterday that although the eye had
been permanently injured the opera
ton had probably saved Browns
sight.

They are telling one now ON an official
Of certain steam railroad company. This
gentleman is very strict observer OF dis
cipline, and II an opportunity affords to
teach an employee lesson in being Q
little more careful, he always seizes 1t. A
little while ago this official was riding
toward Baltimore In train, and In charge
was brand new conductor. He knew
by sight, however, several Of the officials
Of the company, and lie did what he
thought was most proper thug, and one
which he thought would fatter the mag
nate. When lie collected fares he simply
glanced at the gentleman In question, and
passed him by. Our disciplinarian saw
this. and when the conductor came back,
called him up.
.sYou have not collected my fare"
said he.
''Oh, SIR" responded the conductor,
with conscious pride, .'thats all right.
You see, know you, sir. You are Mr..
-, and. of course, you have pass"
'You should not know anybody, sir"
rejoined the official, in tone that made
the conductor wonder whether lie would
not. soon have to apply for another job.
No matter whether l ride on this train a
hundred times day. you should collect
my fare. Punch this pass, sir, and be
sure you do not let this occur again."
But he laughs best who laughs in his
sleeve. 1t was but few days after this
that Mr.. Official came riding back from
Baltimore and happened to strike the
same train. The conductor observed him
quietly; and made sure he would not get
caught second time. So at the proper
moment he approached the official and
made remark about Tickets, please "
The railroader looked up and saw stand
ing before him the man he had 'roasted"
so severely few days before.
'Ah," said he, ''quite right, quite
right" and then he fumbled in his pocket
for his pass book. 1t wasn't there. Nor
was it in any Of his other pockets.
'.Strange, strange" muttered he. "Where
could have left it? How unfortunate. I"
All of which language fell on deaf ears,
for the conductor looked stonily into
space, and then held out his hand again.
"Well. you see." said the confused Off
cial, III have misplaced my pass book.
am MIR. -, You know"
Cant help that, sir" responded the
conductor; II don't know you, sir. I'll
have to have your fare"
The fare was not very large. it was true,
but the modification was great, especially
as half the people in the car had turned
around and were gazing curiously at the
man who had stirred up all the fuss by
trying. as they thought to beat his way.
So the magnate went down into his pocket
again, and fished out sufficient in bills to
pay for the fare. The conductor coolly
punched out rebate ticket and handed it
over. "You can get the drawback at the
depot when YOU get to Washington"
said he, and passed on. lie has been
waiting for several days for his discharge,
but it is not likely he will get it.

There are three monkeys in Calcutta
just now who are stated to be the greatest
thieves and robbers that disgrace the City
of Palaces. Considerable amusement was
caused the other morning when seven
people, who had been treated very badly
by these monkeys. walked into the Joraba-
ganthana, and, in all seriousness, wished
to lay charge OF "theft and causing mis-.
chief' against the offenders.
The inspector regretted he could not ac-
cept the charge, and advised the COM
plainants to destroy the troublesome ami
mails
This suggestion they would not adopt
on account of religious scruples. The in
spector thereupon advised the men to go
to the police court and charge the mon
keys with being burglars Of very bad
type, and apply for warrant for their ar
rest.
The deputation left to consider the posi-.
ton Of affairs.
