AN ENTIRE CITY WILL MOVE.
Inhabitants of Ouro-Preto Grow
Tired of It's Disc0mforts.

New York journal: The greatest exodus
that the world has ever seen since the
children of Israel departed out of the
land of Egypt-nearly $500 years ago
will soon take place in Brazil
All the Inhabitants. of q, city of over
10000 population, the capital of one or
the largest and richest states OF that
country, will, in a few days, abandon
wholesale exodus more remarkable is the
fact that these 20,00G people will move IN
body into a new city, which Tor two
years has been in process OF erection for
their occupancy, and which is as yet un-
tenanted, save by the artisans and labor
ers ghc are putting the finishing touches
to the miies of streets and the SPACIOUS
public buildings and private palaces.

ing thus abaasiaaei to the wild beasts

state of Minas-Geraes. in the southwest
ern part CT Brazil 1t was rounded near
ly two centuries ago by the gold seekers.
Ouro-Petro has been unique among
it has but single street. and that sew
eral miles in length. The town is built
along a narrow gorge in the mountains,
known as the Sierra de Minas Geraes a
mart of the mighty chain which rises
far back from the coast of eastern Bra
zil Though it lies some 5,000 feet above
the sea level. the air is always so damp
that everything not kept in alright
cases becomes mildewed within a short
time There is no such a thing as a
carriage Of any description in this mount
ain city, and even riding horseback is
dangerous, for the single street which
twists and winds for miles is probably
the toughest in the world, there being
but few level stretches Of more than a
dozen yards in all its length. A portion
OF it lies along a deep chasm, at the bot
tom of which roars one of the mountain
torrents which help to make the great
Rio de Frisco.
Another remarkable thing about this
town IS that full half of the inhabitants
have lived of late years in the exhausted
galleries which the miners have hewn
out of the rock alcng the mountain side
in their search for gold The other
dwellings are perched al varying heights
up and down the sides of the steep spurs,
which cut into and sometimes almos;
cross the narrow PASS.

HIDDEN TREASURE.

The Inca's RRnso-ns Hidden Some
where on the Peruvian Mountains.
Pail Mall Gazette: Adventures who
seek mere gold without reference to
art, should turn to Peru. To begin with
the balance of the. Ipca's ransom is
hidden somewhere in the mountains be-
tween CaXamarca and CuZco. We may
confidently assume that it has not been
discovered. for if put into circulation
at home the money market would have
been convalsed, whereas the finders
would have had no reason for keeping
the secret had they got safely away to
Europe. As for the evidence of de-
post, there is Pizarro's official report
that his comrades would not wait I'M
til the celebrated room was full. They
were too impatient to murder their
captive, though they knew that the
bullion levied upon the temple at Cuzco
wds on its way, transported by 100000
llamas, each carrying 100 pounds OF
purest gold. The figure is not incredi-
BILE, seeing how much remained when
the Conuuistadores sacked Cuzco.
News of the murder reached that pre-
cious caravan in the mountains; forth
with the priests buried their gold and
returned Every one concerned with
was tortured to death, but none would
speak. Such is the contemporary &C
count But we observe that Sir Gle
ments Markham, president of the Royal
Geographical society, obtained some iE-
formation during his memorable expe-
dition to Peru. He states, as if it were
we'll known in the neighborhood, that
the caravan left the highway at a
spit now called Azanjaro-a name
which people derive from the Indian
'-Asuan caran,' meaning more dis
ant" Away. from the roadi' cried the
priests Further awayr One always
feels the strongest reluctance to accept
derivations of a place-name from q
spoken word. But il is not impossible
nor improbable that in the course OF
centuries some hint Of a secret which
must be known TO many Indians should
have leaked out. This clue does moi
carry one far however. among the
peaks and caverns of the Andes, even
if it be trustworthy.

WOULDN'T SHOOT A DOE.
q Real Sportsman Always Refuses
to Do If


A Utican who is fine shot, fire.
quent visitor to the Adriondacks and a
great lover of the woods was deep in
the wilderness a few days ago, saws
the Utica Observer. With him was a.
livelong resident of the woods, who in
past years was one of the most sue
cessful guides, but who now occupies a
responsible position as a protector of
deer and other game. The two were
together when two deer approached,
one just behind the other and both
within easy range The Utican brought
his rifle to his shoulder, glanced along
the barrel at the deer, and brought his
gun down again.
why didn't you shoot?" he was
asked.

the reply.
The woodsman instantly extended his

INVENTORS DON'T PATENT.
Discoverers of Experimenting De-
vices Took No Pains to Keep
Them.

If you look back on the history of
human progress you will find that none
of the great epoch-making inventions
has ever been patented. says London
Truth The man who lit in the first
fire-whether Prometheus or the party
from whom he stole the idea-did not
get a patent for it. Neither did the
man who made the first wheel-in
every sense one of the most revolu-
tionary inventions in the history of
man. The same thing may be said of
the invention Of soap, candles, gum
powder, umbrellas and the mariner
compass, or, to come down to our own
day, of the. steam engines and the
electric telegraph.
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and improve
ments-it may be in, candles, or UNI
brellas or it may be in the application
of steam and electricity-and by means
Of these patents enormous profits have
been secured to second-rate inventors,
but the great ideas and discoveries
which underlie these details have been
given to the world gratis.
There is a general notion that If you
did not protect inventions by means of
patents inventors would cease to in
vent and material progress would come
to a standstiu. But history does not
bear this out in the least. Men with
great mechanical gifts do not exercise
them solely with aivlew to commercial
profit any more than astronomers
search the heavens fOrnneW worlds with
an eye to registering patents and float
ing companies on the result of their
discoveries

A Days Expense In New York.

The daily expenditures of New Workers,
says the New York Herald. may be
summarized in a very small space and
VIII be found extremely interesting.
We spend $1.00CO0, more or less, every
day in the year for a few comforts and a.
great many luXurles. This sum has no re-
Iaticn TO house rent or to the butcher
the baker, the candlesticl1 maker or to
tailors' or dressnakers bills.
II costs us 81 COO daily to put milk and
cream into our coffee and IN order to
produce the 10000 quarts herd of 10000
COWS must be housed and fed.
We eat each day 100000 pounds Of meat
OF all kinds, and somewhere near 2,OO0,-
coo pounds of bread. That is $4,000 worth
of one and $4,000 worth of the other.
We spend close upon $4,000 a day for
the privilege of either having a seat in
the street cars or holding on to the
straps thereof. Those who can afford
to take a cab pay out $4,000 for the
pleasure of doing so.
for our shine. and, wonderful and Wo-
full to relate, $500 for chewing gum
For the liquor and wine we drink we
spend about $4,000 day, which, multi
piled by 365 makes a snug little sum- OF
course, we smoke, and it is safe TO say
that our tobacco COSTS US $4,000 from
every breakfast time to midnight.
We do not leave any too much at the
box offices Of the theatreS-only $50, 600 per
day-and we always get more than our
moneys worth.
We are also fond of Chips" and the
fun we have with them causes $4,000
each night to drop from the pocket Of
the loser into that of the winner

the shooting is prohibited of all young

thought that the best means of pre-
venting the determination of elephants
would be to fix by international agree
ment among all the powers on the east
African coast a close time for the anil
mails, and to forbid the expectation or
sale of tuskS under certain size. OF
course, any such agreement, TO be eff
fectual, would have to be enforced
scrupulously at all points on the coast

name was Annie. Marie Allen. She first
married Henry Crittenden, brother OF
John j. Crittenden, a Kentucky lawyer
and politician of promise. but VINO died
early from the effects of wounds INFECTED
by that famous desperate, John o. War
ing of Versailles, Ky. Mr.. C-lttenden
left several children, the youngest OF
whom is the present governor OF dis
so,--i, and the eldest of them was the
Lieutenant Crittenden who was captured
in the Lopez expedition 80 Cuba and shot
a Havana. Mrs. Crittenden subsequently
married Colonel David R. Murray of
Cloverport, KY, by whom she had sew
e.ai children, and among them is Coy
ernor Eli H Murray, of Utah His
mother was born in Shelby county, KY,
was the daughter of Colonel John Allen,
a great lawyer in his day, the rival of
Henry Clay, and with him was counsel
of Aaron Burr when he was first ar
rested in Kentucky. Allen was one of
the famous Latin class in BardStown,
KY, which consisted of the Rev. DR..
Cameron, John Rowan, Ben Hardin, and
Felix Grundy, all of whom became men
cs great distinction. John Allen was a
candidate for governor of Kentucky IN
1911 or 1872; was defeated by a few votes.
After the war began a regiment was
raised in central Kentucky, every man
of which was gentleman. Allen was
unanimously elected colonel. and with
most of the regiment was maSs3cred at
the Inflated battle of the River Raisin,
he falling at the age of 10. His boay
was never found, and his exact fate is
unknown There is a legend that after
the surrender, and when the Indians be-
gan the massacre a chief came up and
plucked Colonel Aliens beard, that he
struck the chief dead at a single blow.
and was himself then cut to pieces.
Colonel Allen married Jane Logan,
daughter of General Ben Logan of
Kentucky pioneer memory. Both Gov
ernor Crittenden and Governor Murray
were Union officers in the late war. Muir

Crittenden graduated at Danville, and
went thence TO Missouri. 1t is remark
2-ble how many of their family have fal-

Free Rural Delivery.

The first trial was given ON Monday,

SPRINGFIELD Union, to the experimental
rural postal delivery and collection.
Edgar NJ. Fish is the carrier and it

horse and wagon. Wooden boxes WITH
cut locks win be erected by the farm
ers in trent of their houses, the .i1ls.d
to be taken to the Office wall be de-
posted there and the carrier will de-
post therein the mail which he brings.
He will, in future, announce his com

a. soncrous tin horn. Many OF the
farmers were net aware until today
that a free delivery was 20 be tried,
and consequently many did NOT have

there are about 10 families on the Is
