made in the treasury department, the
present population of the United States
slightly exceeds 1900, 600. This indi-
Gates an annual increase of more than
1000 since the last federal census was
taken in 1890, when the total popula-
ton of the country was found to be
more than 10000 We are now
within three years of another federal
census, at which. it is reasonable to
anticipate, the total population of the
United States will exceed $4,000 900.

"A Cherokee Indian fish fry" is
worth seeing. When one is announced
In Indian Territory there is always a
big crowd Of white spectators. Fish
fry preparations are sometimes be-
gun month before by damming up a
hole in a creek to trap fish for the
feast. On the day of the festivity,
when the shallow water of the hole"
contains enough fish, hundreds of men
with bows and arrows advance to the
slaughter. Sometimes a big fish will
be struck half a dozen times before
being landed.
If this method does not supply
enough they resort to "buckeyeing. ="
This is done by crushing buckeye
leaves and branches between stones
and then sweeping them through the
creek. The effect is to intoXicate the
fish, which are then easily caught
speared or shot. When enough have
been obtained for a roast cooking be.
gins.
long trench is dug, across which
wires are stretched. A fire is built
under them, and the fish, without
cleaning or dressing, placed on the
wires. After turning them a few
times they are considered done" The
Indian then peels off the skin and
scales, eats down to the entrails and
throws the carcass away. Not infre-
quently the Indians of all ages and
sexes will engage in the fish hunt and
subsequent roast or fry" and their
yells can be heard a mile away. Some
times the Indians are joined by the
lower grade of whites in the commun-
ity who are but little more civilized
than the red men.

George Didn't Like Taxes.

In the old civic docket recently
brought to light in the courthouse at
Greensburg, Penn, there are several
cases recorded against George Wash
ington. In the course of the year 1887

as a -four factor. He is a college bred
man who has risen through sheer
business ability to a towering success.
He first opened his eyes on the world
fifty-fve years ago in the little town of
Warner, n. IL. In 1863 he came west
and settled in Minneapolis. He went
about the study of milling flour in a
scientific way and in a short time mas
tered it. At that time there welc four
OF five old-fashioned mills in the town,
and MIR. Pillsbury undertook to intro
duce new methods by replacing the old
stone grinders with steel ones. In 1872
he enlarged bis plant. took his father
and brother into partnership, and by
1890 he had built up the largest flour
mill in the world. Its capacity is 15.-
1000 barrels of flour a day, to produce
which are required 10000 bushels Of
wheat, The new process created a de-
mand for hard spring wheat. which
had always ranked as less desirable
than the soft winter cereal. In 1890
an English syndicate capitalized the
concern, and Mr. Pillsbury is its man
,ager. The Pillsbury mills are run on
the protit-sharing plan. Some years
as much as $4,000 has been divided
among the employees, and by reason Of
this fact labor agtators have little
function in or near the big mills. Mr.
Pillsbury is interested in politics. but
Ihe has never held office. except for ten
years service in the state senate.

THE THURMOND WILL.
A Contest That Develops IA Queer
story.

ATLANTA, GA, February 3.-(Spe-
cial)-A contest to break the will Of
Or. +. d. Thurmond involving half a
million Of property. develops a queer
story Of eccentricity. Or. Thurmond
and his wife were natives Of Bucklng-
ham county, Va, where all their rela-
tives still reside. For many years he
was a leading physician in this city.
Upon his death he left all his property
to one Of his Virginia cousins. Mrs. I'm
derwood, to the exclusion of his wife.
The latter il is who seeks 10 break the
document, saying in her evidence: This
property was bought by my money,
that l realized from the sale of some
negroes in Virginia. He was an eccen-
trio man, but 10 me he was always
kind and considerate. He had a habit
of trying to Invent a perpetual motion
machine" Here one of his perpetual
motion inventions was introduced 1t
IS a machine consisting Of several bot
ties. which he filled with water. He
thought the motion Of the water would
keep them in perpetual motion.
A FLYING MACHINE.
His flying machine, which the wife
identified consisted Of a long piece Of
cloth attached TO pole. which she said
he would go through the house with
and wave. and remark what a wonder
full invention it was. Another machine,
which, she said, he used for measuring
salt water, was identified by her. This,
she said he constructed about four
years before his death. The flax-haired
doll was introduced. which Mrs. Thur
mond said he called Mary This doll
she said. he brought home and showed
her, telling her that he had brought
baby home for her. With this doll he
would play. and would hug and caress
It and put il TO bed.
KEPT HIS TOPS.
A box with variety of articles was
shown to Mrs Thurmond. which she
identified as the box in which he kept
his tops, his doll clothes. little doll
umbrella, a little wax doll, and various
other little articles, including a model
of his one-wheel carriage. a little cloth
parrot, with which he amused HIM
self; pamphlets, toy frogs, little cloth
monkey. a steel whistle. picture-cards,
one needle, paper rosettes, and many
other things were also found in the box.
Or Thurmond" the wife said. would
sit for a long time each day and amuse
himself with these things"

ATHLETICS.

hciehcy on the part Of Professor Bulls

gan was, TO the eye of a layman per-
feet and all the exercises. INCLUDING
lhose on the horse and ladders jumping.
tpmbiing, vaulung, pyramidal work. etc.
etc' seemed to be almost without defect.
Where all did admirably, It seems in
Nldious to specify, but the work Of the
Messrs. Caldwell, of North Carolina: of
Mr. Lewis. of West Virginia; of Messrs.
Gaines and Irwens OF Georgia; OF
Mr. Herndon of Louisiana. and of
Messrs. Ballou, Loree, and Douglass. of
virginia, deserve mention Four of these
gentlemen are looking forward TO the
ministry. All OF them are excellent
STUDENTS, and six of them among the
best men in their classes. This seems
70 show that rational athletics so far
from hindering intellectual growth and
attainments is a very great assistance
thereto. Mr.. Loree is, perhaps. physi-
cally' the lightest man In college, but in
teuectually canks with the best.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
The intermediate celebration of the
literary societies at night was highly
creditable. The exercises were opened
with prayer by Rev. T. II. English, ID.
ID. The speakers and their subjects were
as follows: II. NJ Cole, Jr., Danville,
Va, THE Era of Pessimism" j. +.
Allen, Dinwiddie county, Va, Some of
the Effects Of immigration in the United
States; Samuel Pasco Jr., Monticello,
Fla, Fanatics and Fanaticism"; +. c.
Caldwell, Oxford, ~ c., Edgar Allan
Poe; Eugene Douglass, Roanoke, Va,
Some Ideals and Their Effects; V. II.
Starbuck Orlando, Fla, Abraham Lin
coin" While all the speeches were good,
by general consent, it would, perhaps, be
allowed that Mr.. Caldwelrs analysis of
the life and work of Poe, coupled with
his sympathetic and dignified delivery,
deserves TO be classed as possessing UNI
common excellence. Among the ladies
present, were Miss Mary Darlington, Of
Richmond; Misses Baumgardner and
Sproul of Augusta, and Misses Venable,
Morton, and Watkins. of Farmyille. The
music was furnished by the Mandolin
Club. and was first rate.
for several days, but Notwithstanding.
excellent audiences have gathered and the
young peoples enjoyment seems not to
be at all dampened.
