Ordinations In Old Times.

It cost more to ordain. minister IN
1850 than it does now. There was Rev.
Solomon Lombard, the first settled min
ister at Gorham, Me. His annual sal
ary was less than $3.50, yet $12O was
raised to defray the expenses OF his
ordination, December 26, 1850. The
supplies considered necessary on that
occasion included two barrels of cider,
two gallons of brandy, q barrel of flour,
three bushels of apples, 541a pounds of
pork, six candles (not to burn on tho
altar, thought, one teapot and one
pound of tea, four gallons Of rum, one
ounce of nutmegs, and the same guam
tity Of pepper, a pound of ginger and
one bottle Of vinegar.

No. II6.
1t Has Been Seized and Annexed by
New South Wales.


New South Wales.
Another little republic has been alb
sorbed and it's individuality lost in
greater and more powerful state, says
the New York Sun. Very quietly the
sclf-governing island of Norfolk in the
South Pacific ocean has been annexed
by the government Of New South Wales.
The inhabitants of this primitive settle
ment are the descendants of the mutt
neerS of the Bounty, who took refuge
on Pitcairn island in 1850. In 1856 the
islanders had so far increased in num-
bers that Pitcairn island was insuffi-
cient for their needs, so many migrated
to the larger island of Norfolk, where
they continued Their own form of gov
Crnment.
Unfortunately their laws and meth
DDS, though entirely satisfactory to
themselves, recently excited the unfa-
vorable notice of the governor of New
South Wales. The chief fault Of the
system seemed to be that there was no
paid policeman and no prison, and that
consequently debts were difficult of re-
covery and crime could not be punished
adequately. Although the islanders
unanimously declared against being
handed over to New South Wales and
prepared to follow their own customs,
tAc British government has sanctioned
the incorporation, and this quaint and
iouTishing commune has come to an
end. Settlers are to be encouraged to
farm upon the island by the cheap sale
of land. Public houses, or saloons,
which were formerly forbidden, will
doubtless be allowed, and all that was
distinctive in the community is doomed.

SCIENTIFIC EGG-HUNTER.
The Pearly Nautilus, Not the Hen. IL
His Subject.

His Subject.
Scientists are offering congratula-
tions to DR.. Arthur Wiley on the sue.
cess of his search for the eggs of the
peary nautilus. The pearly nautilus
is the only living representative of the
great group of extinct animals whose
shells are known as ammonites, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. So rare were
specimens of the animal itself that 20
years ago 500 was paid in London for
two preserved in spirits. The structure
of the animal is extremely curious, and
an account of it formed the first scien-
tific memoir produced by Sir Richard
Owen Setting out two years and half
ago for the south seas, DIR. Wiley pro-
ceeded first to Ralum, New Britain,
where he spent q year trapping the
nautilus in 70 fathoms of water and
dredging in vain for it's eggs. He then
tried o station ON the coast of New
Guinea, where he was nearly drowned
by the capsizing Of his small craft.
After passing through New Caledonia
he arrived last summer in Lifu, one of
the Loyalty islands, where nautilus can
be captured in three fathoms depth
only. Here he constructed q large sub
marine cage, in which he kept specI-
mems of nautilus, feeding them daily.
In December last his patient endeavors
were rewarded. Some of the nautilus
spawned in the cage, and he was able
to obtain abundant samples of the eggs.
Each egg is as large as a grape and is
deposited separately by the mother nau-
titus. 1t is expected that by this time
DR.. Wiley has obtained the young in
all stages Of growth.

INSISTS ON BEING ARRESTED
Miss Bean of Hutchinson Determined to
be indicated.

Miss Beam of Hutchinson was placed
under $500 bonds by Commissioner
Sherman yesterday, and with her
friends, quite a number OF them acorn
panying her down from Hutchinson, re-
turned last evening.
Hutchinson is UP in arms for Miss
Beam. She is al orphan girl who was
brought up almost in the Hutchinson
postoffice. The present postmaster kept
was so pushed with work she did not
make daily balances. About the first
of the year the inspector found 81 800
short in the money order and stamp ac-
counts No one but the inspector, it
seems, suspected Miss Beam But she
was suspected and let out of the post
office, the postmaster making the sum
good. The people of Hutchinson were
indignant and the newspapers up there
scored every one who tried 10 blacken
Miss Beams character. Miss Peam was
at home expecting every moment TO De
arrested, but she was not In order to
bring the matter TO an issue and vindi-
cate herself she insisted on being arrest

er Sherman. II is the wish of her
friends that the preliminary set for jan

once.

HAS PASSED BEYOND THE VEIL
Theodore Boggs of Mcpherson Now Lies
inHis Last Rest.

Mr. n. VI. Kirkbride returned yester-
day from attending the funeral OF his
brother-in-law. Mr.. Theodore Boggs. of
Mcpherson. who died recently al St
Louis. Mr.. Roggs was one of the most
prominent citizens Of Mcpherson, and
was admired and respected as a Christ
ian gentleman by every one that knew
HIM. He was an elder in the Christian
church and had been member for
years.
When Garfield university was first es-
tabiished in this city Mr.. Boggs was
chosen one OF the board of trustees. Of
whom there were eighteen. He served
in this capacity faithfully as long as the
institution was in charge of the board.
The city Of Mcpherson By his death
3ooses one of its most staunch and faith
ful citizens whose place cannot soon if
ever be occupied by another.
Mr. Kirkbride was with Mr. BoggS at
the time he passed away, and he says
that the transition was peaceful and
quiet, and that the las; evidence OF con-
sciousness was in the recognition OF his
daughter who stood by his bedside abOu,
al hour before the final dissolution.
AR Roggs was injured some time ago
by being pinned 10 the wall by a frac-
tious team Of horses belonging TO a far
mer. who was unloading wheat al the
MIL in Mcpherson. One OF the single
trees struck him il the groin and this
finally ended in an abceSS which ult-
mately caused his death, although he

CLEOPATRA" SCORES THREE
Lioness Gives Birth to Three Whelps In
Mid Winter.

At the winter quarters of McMahan's
circus there was an event last. night of
unusual importance. The lioness, Cleo
patra, gave birth 20 three whelps of the
black Nnban eXtraction-the breed Of
lion which old Spartacus fought in the
arena of Rome for the edification of the
matrons, bellies and beaux of that gilt
tering epoch. Such a delivery is very
rare in the temperate zone. and hence
the proprietor, Robert McMahan, was
alert to the eXigencieS of the occasion,
and secured the presence of DR.. Shultz
at the accouchment of Cleopatra. The
young Nubians are enveloped in a trOpi-
cal atmosphere, the thermometer being
watched and kept at central African de-
gree of Fahrenheit. The eyes of the
whelps are not open yet, and hence il
would be futile in them TO launch forth
IN the scramble for offices under the pres
ent Kansas administration, but with
proper care they will attain that
strength which characteriZes the cats Of
Kansas birth. The llioness, in her native
jungle, usually presents the king with
twins, but Cleopatra went him one
better this time

WILL PROBABLY RECOVER
We'll Known Travelling Man Who At
tempted Suicide Is Recovering,

T. Nj. Mckee, the travelling man who
attempted suicide in a Topeka hotel one
day last week, is wei known in Wichita
He is the general western representative
the Clark Thread company and has
bae1 frequently in the city during the
last few Years. He is a very striking
looking man and has a reputation as a
very swell dresser. The reason for his
attempt 10 take his own life still seems
70 remain a mystery TO the Topeka po-
lice, who have been investigating the
case. Even those who know him best
say that he is very peculiar and Sc
cretive man, and that there is always an
air of mystery about him Family trou-
bles may have had something to do with
his rash act. He gave that impression
bv some semi-councious utterances just
after he attempted to cut his throat. His
attending physician at Topeka says he
now sees no reason why Mckee should
not pull through all right, although his
injuries are undoubtedly very serious.

WAS VERY MUCH EXCITED
Man reports a. Police 4 Headquarters Claim

Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock a
man rushed into police headquarters
with his hair mussed up, his necktie all

him suggested almost anything which
could DE imagined. The mans name was
afterward learned TO he Blood. and when
ne came in his eyes contained a little of
it.
He dashed up TO the railing and asked
to see Chief Burt, and that official told
him to come into the office. which he did
in a fifty. sweeping in with the Identical
swish IL his Macintosh which a hauiy
woman assumes. When he appeared be-
fore Chief Burt his tongue started and
he poured ont his complaint in the most
violent nlanenr imaginable.

the chief.
The fell9w would not consent 10 do
this under any circumstances. but said
that the fellow was trying to get away
from town with the money. He pranced
all over the office and barely missed up
setting the cuspidor and Charlie Hor-
ner's pet corn, several times while Mr..
Burt was simply waded over and pound
ed by the excited fellow at "A great rate.
His breath was similar To the fumes of
a distiliery, and the alcohol had gone to
his head. He swOre. danced. begged and
did other things indescribable by turns.
He wanted somebody arrested and Chief
Burt told him to hunt up an officer To-
cate his man and bring him in. or to
swear out warrant for him. He would
not be satisfied unless Chief Burt called
out the patrol and went after him him
self. Ii was funny while il lasted. The
cat was so surprised at the mans ac-
lions that she, with yawi OF surprise,
disappeared down the stairway.
The man was from necessity locked up
until he became a little less the worse

around the chairs and desks cautiously

to the office. The mans story may he
