No Doubt of Raising Sufficient Money
TO Secure Ii.

st. Louis. Mo-, Dec. Sup to noon to-
day three-fourths of the committee to
secure subscriptions to the national re-
publican convention fund had reported
that an amount exceeding $65 900 had been
secured. The st. Louis business interests,
the bankers, the real estate men and the
brewers, had not reported, as they are
holding off to make up any possible de-
ficiency. One millionaire brewer has an
nounced his intention of subscribing s.,
600. Three of the leading hotels have re-
ceived telegraphic instructions to reserve
suites of rooms for delegations. The
committee of invitation will probably
start to Washington Saturday morning.

The officers stationed there also have their
preference as to who they would like to com
mand them. When they heard last October
ttat Lieutenant Colonel Purinton was to be
retired, they wrote to Lieutenant Colonel
Henry, asking him how he would like to get
the place. and. Colonel Henry expressing no
objection, they began to talk him up"
When Purinton was retired In July, how
ever. the War department, instead OF select
ing Colonel Henry, who is No. 4 on
the list OF Lieutenant colonels, or either Of
his three seniors. to command this post,
chose Lieutenant Colonel Whiteside, who
was tenth and last on the list, having Just
been promoted from major. Since then, the
officers say, there has not been any revival
Of the talk In Colonel Henry's favor, but his
recent appointment would seem to indicate
that there has. This theory is strengthened
by the fact that Colonel Henry has been In
Washington the past few days.
Others claim that General Miles caused the
change. General Miles Is known to be an
ardent admirer Of Colonel Henry, and 1t Is
also reported that he Is not friendly to
Colonel Wh1teside. Those who claim to
know tell a story that in the Wounded Knee
campaign General Forsythe sent Colonel
then Major whiteside to capture Big Foot,
the Sioux Indian chief. Major Whiteside got
Big Foot all right, but In moving his camp
up a certain river left Big Foot behind, on his
promise to stay there till morning. Next
morning Big Foot was back in the camp of
the hostiles. General Miles preferred charges
against Colonel whiteside at the time, and
he was tried by a Some pro-
fess to believe that this is responsible for
the change.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Secretary
Lamont said today in reference to the detail
of Lieutenant Colonel Guy Henry as COM
mandant at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-,
which was the subject of criticism, mas
much as Lieutenant Colonel Whitesides, sta
toned at Jefferson Barracks, ranks him,
that the appointment of Colonel Henry was
made on the recommendation of General
Schofield. The recommendation of the gen.
eral of the army says he Is well Informed
In matters of detail. 1t implies no reflec-
ton on Colonel Whitesides.

A GAME OF NINEPlNs.
A MunchausenIike story Of Beheaded
German Criminal.

In an imperial city lately criminal
was condemned to be beheadee who had
a singular itching IA play at ninepins.
While his sentence was pronouncing he
had the temerify 70 offer a request TO
be permitted TO play once more at his
favorite game at the place of execution,
and then he said be would submit
without a murmur.
AS the last prayer Of a dying man
his request was granted. When arrived
at the solemn spot he found everything
prepared, the pms being set up and the
bowl ready. He played with no little
earnestness. bnt. the sheriff at length,
seeing that be showed no inclination TO
desist, privately ordered the executioner
to strike the fatal blow as he stopped
for the bowl.
The executic1er did SO, and the
head dropped into the culprit's hand as
he raised himself to see what had oc-
Cured. He Immediately aimed at the
nine, conceiving that it was the bowl
which he grasped. All nine falling, the
head loudly exclaimed, Al have won
the game Prom the German.

The Greek conception of their devil,

the hairs on his body stand out like
palm trees on a mountain side He pun
ishes the doomed beings submitted to
his charge by putting them in beds of
boiling oil, saving their bodies in two,
pouring molten lead IN their ears and
such other little pranks as pulling out
their tongues, toe and finger nails and
gouging out their eyes He is a heart
less old devil of the most devilish kind
and has many other exquisite little tor
lures laid up for the helpless wretch
consigned to his chamber of horrors. I"

eREENLAND's SUMMER.
Professor Heilprin COrrects Some Popular
misconceptions About IL.

AS with many of the foreign countries,
there is wrong impression existing in
the minds even Of we'll bred persons
with reference to the nature of the pen
insula of Greenland. Ii is supposed to be
cherries waste of ice and snow, and
indeed land of desolation. On first ac-
quaintance the country does not seem
calculated to inspire enthusiasm, but
this feeling soon wears away and the
returned traveller from Greenland is
smitten with 1.-THE arctic fever, >" the
principal symptom of which is long
ing to return to these northern shores.
Professor Angelo Heilprin, in his inter
esting account of the Peary relief expe-
dition conducted by him, thus speaks of
Greenland:
"Once the foot has been set upon the
mirrored rocks the charms Of this garden
spot one by one unfold themselves. The
little patches Of green are aglow with
bright flowers, rich in the cOlors which
a bounteous nature has provided. The
botanical eve readily distinguished
among these mountain pink, the dwarf
rhododendron, several pieces of heath,
the crowfoot, chickweed and poppy,
with their varying tints of red, white
and yellow. Gay butterflies fit through
the warm sunshine, casting their shad
ows over forests of diminutive birch
and willow.
Here and there a stray bee huns in
search of sweets among the pollen
grains, while, from afar, woven through
the music of gurgling rills and brooks,
come the melodious strains of thousands
of mosquitoes, who ever cheerfully lend
their aid to give voice to the landscape.
Above this peaceful scene tower the dark
red cliffs Of basalt, which from height
Of 1900 feet look down on sea of
Mediterranean loveliness, blue as the
waters of Villafranca and calm as the
surface Of an interior lake. Over its
bosom float hundreds of icebergs, the
output of the great Jacobshavn glacier,
30 miles to the eastward, scattered like
flocks Of white sheep III pasture.
Such was the summer picture of the
region about Disco as it was found by
the writer in two successive seasons.
There was little of that Greenland look
about it which we habitually associate
with the region, nothing of those terrors
which to the average mind reflect the
qualities of the arctic world. "

italian sunerstition.

Superstition reigns tyrannically in
many rural districts in Italy Lately a
fortune teller prophesied to young
farmer and his sister, living near Noto,
Sicily, that on the evening before GER
tain feast day both would die violent
death. This so affected the minds Of the
poor dupes that they became insane and
rushed shrieking through the streets. A
brother of these unfortunates then came
somehow TO the conclusion that the ca
lmnity was due to the witchcraft Of
their stepmother, and in fit of blind
rage he killed the poor woman with a
hoe Philadelphia Ledger.
