sickening feature of the African
land-grabbing is the canting hypocrisy
which attempts to base the title to
stolen territory on treaties" with the
various negro potentates in the dis
trict. Such title is about as valid as
the title to travellers watch obtained
by the persuasion of a revolver on a
lonely road, but it is urged by Great
Britain with that Pecksniffian regard
for the sanctity of treaties which has
marked the foreign policy of that na-
ton ever since these treaties began to
establish her colonial aggressions.

This firm is well known, not only
in this State, but all over the entire

If the donations of useless and cum

length of time, the president will have
to ask congress for an appropriation to
build an addition to the White House TO
store them in. He now has big dog, a

an anchor attached, which n.admiring

who weighs nearly $50 pounds, entirely

Mr.. Porter has been trembling in his
boots ever since the arrival of Moscow
for fear that other owners of fine ami
mails would undertake to emulate the
donor of the st. Bernard and the White
House lot be turned into sort of canine
menagerie of terriers, hounds, pugs and
bull pups, rivaling the famous aggrega-
ton owned by President Grant =.
The boat model was presented by ex-
Governor Pinchbeck Of Louisiana and a
delegation, including State Senator De
Mas. 1t is the handiwork of colored
cabinet maker named Samuel f. Davis
of New Orleans and is very creditable
evidence of his skill. 1t is about 4 feet
over all and was brought up to the
White House i'll glass case by four
stalwart colored men. Although the
donor expressly stated in his letter ac-

WITH A RUBBER SHOE.
How a Young Man of Nerve Got the Best
of Live Trolley Wire.


of Live Trolley Wire.
A trolley wire broke in Williamsburg,
N. Y, recently and caused considerable
excitement. The street was crowded
with persons who had just left ferry
boats, and many narrowly escaped com
ing in contact with the live wire The
wire squirmed around at lively rate,
all the while emitting sparks
Finally a young man, who was too
modest to give his name, approached a
young lady and requested the loan of
one of her rubber overshoes She allow
ed him to remove the rubber, and, put
ting his hand in it, he grabbed the siz-
cling wire and wound it around tele-
graph pole. The crowd cheered, and the
young man blushed. So did the young
woman After her overshoe had been re-
turned she hurried away.
Workmen from the railroad company s
repair shop came and fixed the wire.
In the meantime the cars were blocked.
