England's State Plate.

England's collection Of plate for uss
at state occasions at Windsor castle il
something fabulous in value. Its dis
play surprised even Russia's crown
prince himself. 1t it generally reck-
oned to be worth about e2 900, 900, and
1t is no unusual thing at q state BAN
quet at the castle to have plate to the
value of half million in the room.
There are two state dinner services,
one Of gold and one of silver. The
gold service was purchased by George
w., and will dine 1870 persons. The
plates alone Of this service cost over
$4,000. On state occasions there are
usually placed on the dining table
some very beautiful gold 1agons, cap
tured from the Spanish Armada, which
are now, Of course, of priceless value,
while the great silver wine cooler,
made for George w., and weighing
1000 ounces, always adorns one corner
of the apartment. As sideboard orna-
ments there are pretty trifles in the
way Of a peacock of precious stones,
valued at 100000, and tigers head
from India with solid ingot Of gold
for its tongue and diamond teeth.

TWO LOVERS OF MUSIC.

a Creole Boy and His Wonderful and A.
eomplished Mocking Bird.
Maxine Caspari is a handsome young
Creole who drives delivery wagon for
q grocer in New Orleans. He has be-
come q noted local figure because of his
love for music. and because he is the
owner of wonderful hooking bird.
Maxine, says our informant. is a mu.
sician considerably above the ordinary,
and in the early mornings the quiet
street is gay with the merry sound Of
his sweet voice or the music Of his
French harp, which he always carries
about with him. 1t is charming to see
what pleasure he gives as he drives
down the street, smiling and bowling TO
right and left rs he goes, like hero in
. triumphal procession. 1t gladdens the
heart Of every woman on the street to
have Maxine deliver package ut her
door and receive one Of his scintillating
smiles and q bow like q court gentle
mans.
Entirely in harmony with Maxime's
affable nature is the little pet and com
panion which accompanies him always
in his daily rounds. This is no more
nor less than fine moclxing bird
named Beauregard, which is beyond
doubt perfectly exquisite musician.
Maxine has trained him to whistle the
most difficult airs with grace and fin
ish that no instrument can equal, and
the little fellow seems to take infinite
delight in exhibiting his accomplish
ment. He and Maxine whistles in con-
cert, the bird usually carrying the air,
his master adding fine, clear second,
which is exquisitely harmonious.
BeaureRard has a cage in one corner
OF the cart under the roof, but he usu-
ally sits on Maxime's shoulder or occu-
pies a perch above his masters head.
When Maxine is very busy and hasn't
time to dismount and linger at the
door for pleasant word, o smile or a
bow, Beauregard gives three round
sharp whistles that serve to bring a
servant girl out to the gate for the
package.
Maxine has frequently refused large
sums Of money for his fine bird A mu
scum company offered two hundred and
fifty dollars for him.
But no." Maxine always says
"gol can nod buy mey Beauregar'. He
u nod for sale; he never will be. He il
my very soul, that Beauregar.'"

10 AS A LABORER.
An Officer of Thirty Years Frontier Ex-
pericnce Gives His Views.

An ohcer OF Thlrty Nears' Frontier Exs
pericnce Gives His Views.
A man who has been on the frontier
for thirty years and has put in big
part of that time fighting Indians, is
Capt. p. ii. Ray, of the regular army,
now in charge of the Shoshone and
Arapahoe agency in Wyoming. Capt.
Ray has practical views touching the
Indian problem, based on his long con-
tact with the red man. He believes that
the Indian can be made n self-support-
ing and useful citizen, and all that is
needed is to furnish him a sufficient in.
centive toworlS for n living, the same as
his pale-face brother.
During the war just ended" said he
to q writer for the Washington Post, II
had the Indians at work ON big irri-
eating canal, of which seven miles have
been completed. They made as good
laborers as l ever saw and worked
cheerfully for one dollar per day. In
addition to that they raised enough grain
for the reservation and to supply the
neighboring military post, having a
surplus besides to sell. They hauled
every pound of freight from the railway
terminus to the agency, a distance OF
one hundred and fifty miles. The men
who have been living off the Indians by
supplying all their needs for the past
quarter of a century hate to see them
beginning to get on a self-supporting
basis, for then there will be no more
money to be made out of them. For
that reason every obstacle is thrown in
the way and all sorts of misrepresenta-
tions made by these parties, who dread
to see their occupation gone. During
all my experience in the west l have
never known an administration that has
dealt with the Indians in as clean and
conscientious way as the present. The
secretary OF the interior has, without
any partisan bias, done in every in
stance his best to promote the interests
Of the tribes and the government, and,
from my own observation, think that
he has thus far been very successful"

Musical Instruments OF Aluminium.

The use of aluminium is becoming
common. In Austria Hungary short
time ago the metal was introduced into
the army. The band of the Third regi-
ment of infantry (the Archduke
Charles regiment) used it in the manu-
facture of drums, discarding the old
fashioned brass metal. The instru-
ments have a neat appearance and are
much lighter; and, according to ex-
perts, their timbre is more melodious.
The regiment bands in garrison at
Vienna have also received the alum
mum drum. 1t is stated that this new
ly improved drum will shortly be sup
piled to all the bands in the Austrian
army. Perhaps in the near future the
trombone and all other instruments
now wholly made Of brass will give
way to aluminium.

Tho Reat Metal for Rife Builcts.

Tungsten, which is about one and
half times heavier than lead and al
most as hard rs steel, is considered the
best metal for rifle bullets, now that
the diminished calibre of rides has led
to the use of smaller bullet. 1t is de-
sirablc under the circumstances to have
for the manufacture of rifle bullets
metal heavier than lead, and Of greater
penetrating power. A tungsten ball
penotrates steel plate three inches in
thickness at a distance OF $50 yards.
while similar one of lead only pene-
trates a two-and a-halfinoh plate at
s25 yards. AS a rule bullets are made
Of perfectly pure lead, the purity OF
which is tested by chemical analysis.
Any impurity tends to alter the weight
and to affect the expansion, and thus
to spoil the shooting Of the arm. The
bullets are all made by compression,
the lead being just squirted into long
rods and then formed into bullets in

TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN THE WEST.
ERN PART OF THE STATE,
A Negro Kills White Man and is
Himself Shot to Death, Together
With One of His Friends.

NEW ORLEANS, March 2S.-St An
dry Parish, in the western part of Lou
isiana, is almost in a state of war.
Last evening, while a party of white
men from Arnaudville were passing on
the public road, near the house of Julien
Sicily, colored man, in the neighbor-
hood of Port Barr, five of them turned
aside and called him out to have a talk
with him.
He had used some threatening Ian
guage to the effect that he intended to
register and vote if he died in the at
tempt. Seeing that would be against
the wishes of the white people of that
section, he had sent message by an
other colored man to DR.. Martin. the
leader of the white supremacy move
ment of that neighborhood, apologizing
for his words, and promised to take no
part in politics in the future
The purpose in calling at his house
last night was to assure him that his
promises and apology had been accept
ed, and that he might feel secure. He
refusd to open his door or parley with
the men, saying that if DR.. Martin
would come that way he would come out
and talk with him.
DR.. Martin then came and called to
him to come out and talk with him, but
instead of doing so, he opened a side
window and instantly shot dead Alcoe
Boett, a resident of Grand Coteau, and
an excellent citizen and young man of
ID years. The men on the outside
thereupon fired into the house, killing
Sicily and probably one other negro.
This is DR.. Martins statement of the
occurrence He is the leading physician
of that section, and a gentleman of the

ROWING CONTEST BETWEEN UNI
VERSTTY EIGHTS.
Cambridge's Crew Kept the Lead I'm
til Near the Finish, But Was
Finally Beaten Halfa Length.

| LONDON, March 2S.-The annual
rowing contest between Oxford and
! Cambridge University eights took place
over the course from Putney to Mort
lake to-day in the presence Of the usual
crowd of Londoners and provincials,
and was won by Oxford by a quarter of
length
The weather was extremely disagree
able. At 10 O'Clock the wind was blow
| ing hard, and the rain fell in torrents.
This condition was followed by glimpses
| of sunshine, but several times later
| there were heavy hailstorms of short
duration.
| The length of the course was four
and one-quarter miles.
| The boats got off at 1 :03 p. m. Cam
bridge was pulling thirty-eight strokes
| the first minute, and at the soap works
| led by half a length AT Hammersmith
bridge Cambridge stilleheld9herllead of
half length, and at Chiswick she was
| nearly a length ahead.
From this point, however, Oxford be-
| gan to get in, and nearing the bridge
drew rapidly up on the leaders, who
| had lost more than half of their ad-
vantage, and was only three-quarters
of a length ahead In shooting the
bridge Cambridge was hampered by
the rough water, and failed to maintain
her lead. Oxford gradually crept up on
the Cambridge boat.
The Oxford boat from this point drew
ahead and reached the Ship Hotel at
Mortlake, the finishing point, a winner
by quarter of a length, adding one
more to Oxford's list of victories, while

This is the seventh consecutive defeat
administered by Oxford to the rival
university of Cambridge, and not since
1891 has the latter club given the win
ners so close a race. In 1891 Oxford
won by quarter of length, as it did
to-day, the intervening races having
been won by from one and half to
three and a half lengths. In the last
twenty years the time made to-day,
2001, has only been beaten twice. In
the race of 1892 Oxford won by two and
a quarter lengths in 1921. and in 1893
she won by two and a half lengths in

heard that he had left it."
She was then asked if the statement
was true that if Ballington came back
that the General would assign him to
Canada, and then after two or three
months reappoint him as Commander in
the United States.
She replied that she thought such a
statement was unauthorized, but as far
as she knew and believed, such was not
the intention of General Booth. .It is
