Roberts, a colored minister, who
made a very eloquent speech. He
spoke for quite while and dwell
led principally on the tariff issue,
and his remarks were received
with cheers on all sides. Rev.
Roberts finished by proposing a
mighty cheer for Mckinley, Ho-
bart, Noonan and Kearby, which
was given before he uttered the
last syllable, and Beck's band
struck up lively tune.
Chairman Ogden then stepped
to the front of the platform, and
thanking everybody present for
his attendance at the meeting
told them to vote for Mckinley,
Hobart, NOonan and Kearby

meeting dispersed with enthus-

Alamo Plaza Last Night.
The McKinley-H Hobart NoOnan-
Kearby rally last night was a
most enthusiastic one. The rally
was opened with a tOrch-light
procession through Commerce
street to Alamo plaza, headed by
Prof. Carl Beck's band. A speak
ers' stand had been erected in
front of the Alamo building, and
around it were gathered about
fifteen hundred people, who yell
ed themselves hoarse cheering
for sound money and prosperity.
There were a few free silverites
in the crowd, whose efforts, how
ever, to "hurrah" the meeting
were ridiculous in the extreme.
Hon. G. w. Ogden was the
chairman of the meeting, and in
introducing the speakers made a
few remarks. Bart Crowther ad-
dressed the assemblage in the

away as Brenton's reef, near Newport,
but usually she is at st. Georges under
waiting orders. One day. year ago last
summer. Capt. Murray, her skipper,
heard "a great buzzing in the air. and
looking up he saw cloud of bees max
ing directly toward him: Being unused
to such apparitions he ran into the cabin
and awaited Developments. The bees
plighted on the port rail, near the gang
way. forming bunch which appeared
10. the captains eyes to be bigger than a
peck measure. Before the captain
knew what had become of them they
disappeared from sight, and then he
found they had gone through hole.
ind made themselves at home in the side
of the vessel.
The captain and crew soon became
used to the company of the bees, and
thqught nothing of having a dozen of
tbdj buzz sks around their heads at
Cnce, for bees seldom sting unless mo-
Tested. One day the vessel was ordered
out to relieve the lightship at Sandy

lees were buffeted about on the water,

of brown sugar provided for them by
the sailors, end never became seasick.

when a ltee-fancSing friends of the cap

out, and denser smoke was created
with gunpowder and other fuel. The

sincerely for the loss, and every sailors

thought Of going to sea again after they
had allowed such manifest defiance of

"It's good luck shouted the captain.
and this time, instead of running away,
he spread out some brown sugar on :,

Lee-keeping friend to do in such emer-

the sugar, and began beating tin pan
to attract the attention of the bees. His

AFTER GAME IN AFRICA.
Large Huntia1 Party Organizes Wit
Science ~ . Side Show.

Large HuntiaG Party OrganiseS with
Science ~ . Side Show.
Parties of 90 ar IS men on the lookout
for big game, and ready to go to the ends
of the earth in seaech of it, are not an
everyday spectacle in this country.
There is at present, however, an expe
dition of this kind underway, the MEM
bers of which hope to start from Amer
lea for the Dark continent. There, in
the hauntss6 the elephant, gorilla,
chimpanxee, hippopotamus. and deer.
they expect to do their best In the way
of deeimsting the native fauna. 49,
The expedition il not to be entirely
for sport, however. Science usually has
its share of the best nowadays, and this
party is not to be without its representa-
tives. Two men,at least, will go whose
main object, instead of slaughter of the
guileless gorilla, the earth-shaking ele-
plant, and score of minor beasts, will
be to further the progress Of science.
Frank Hegger, photographer, one Of
the party, said: PROT William Garner,
who made himself well known through
his long and novel sojourn in cage in
the heart of an African jungle in study
of the language of the gorilla and CHM
panzee, expects to be one of the party.
He is on cordial terms with the govern
ment officials and the traders along the
coast. and is thoroughly familiar with
the country, the natives and the haunts
Of the game. According TO our present
arrangements, the voyage will cover .
period Of four months and distance of
shout 1900 miles. 1t will include
visit to the Canary islands, Sierra Leone,
the Gold Coast, Gaboon and trip up the
Ogowe and the Congo.
by this plan the party is assured of
at least one month of the finest hunting
m the world. II any of the party wishes
to prolong this hunting period to seven
weeks, he may do 80 by emitting the
trip up the Congo, without any addl-
tional cost. The hunting field to which
the party will BE- taken abounds in all
sorts Of game. Within aFadius of 20
miles are scores of elephants, Hundreds
of bulfaloes, herds Of deer and vast num-
bers Of wild hogs. There are hippo
potami. leopards, panthcrs, bush cats,
civet cats, porcupines. armadillos, croc-
t,diles, schools Of monkeys and the
gorilla and chimpanzee. In addition to
all Of these animals there are plenty of
pheasants, quail, ibis, curlew and mara
bou."-N. Y. Tribune.
