A Foolish Piece of Business.

A man stopping for the summer out on
the Cape shore took a.boy about years
of age in boat last Monday afternoon
and started out for row. Shortly after
leaving the shore the man thought he
would try and brighten the boy and began
to rock the boat violently from side to
side. The boat all this time was getting
further out where the water was quite
deep and the man kept at his fun, as he
called it, and laughed to see the fright
ened look on the little fellows face. He
did not intend to tip the boat over, but
he gave sudden lurch to one side when
the boat, which was flat bottomed, turned
upside down and spilled It's occupants
into the water. The boy came up under
the boat, but the man, on gaining the
surface, could not see the boy, and al
once dove for the spot where he went
down. He could not find any signs Of
the boy, however, and he began to fea1
he had gone to the bottom and beer
diving down and under the boat, foun
the little fellow clinging to the undersidt
nearly exhausted. He at once took hin
and swan to the shore where the boy wa
at once taken care of and after a shor
time came around all right, but it is SAT-
to say that the man will take his expert
ence as a severe lesson and never attempt
another foolish trick of this kind on tn

Al COOL BURGLARS.
Mako a Raid on James nIiller's Hou Sc
Wednesday

Wednesday morning the house of Mr..
at No. is Bramhall street, was entered by
burglars and ransacked in the coolest and
most deliberate way. The last member
of the family to leave the house was a
young neice of Mr.. Miller's, and when she
left she did not take her watch as she was
afraid that it might be stolen by pick
pocket in the crowd while she was watch
ing the naval parade. After leaving the
house she changed her mind, returned
and took the watch with her, leaving the
house for the second time about 1910
a. m. The front door she locked after
her
The first one of the family to return to
the house after the parade was Mr. james
Miller. He got back about TO- 5 O'Clock,
SO that the house had been unoccupled
half hour. During that time the burglars
entered by removing the screen from one
of the. kitchen windows and forcing back
the spring lock.
The dining room was first ransacked.
On the sideboard stood two elegant sill
yer services, large silver urn and silver
water cooler, besides a quantity of silver
knives, forks and spoons. Of this silver
ware all that was taken by the thieves
was a large quantity of valuable ice
cream spoons. Then the chambers were
visited in turn, bureau drawers pulled
open and the mattresses of the beds turned
over to see if any pocket books or money
had been hidden between them. A valu-
able diamond stud that had been left in q
shirt of Mr.. William Miller, the son, and
worth $3.50, was taken, and a rare cameo
in ring that had been in the family a
long time, valued at $50, a watch and
chain, guide and charm, and some 9th
er knick- knacks. In all about $3.50 worth
of property was taken. There is no clue
to the burglars.

A BARBAROUS RULER.
The Royal Niger Companies Expedi-
tiOn Will Interfere With His
Execution or slaves by the
Wholesale.

London, Feb. 1O.-Sir George Goldie,
commanding the Royal Niger company's
expedition against the Emir of Nupe,
cabled from the palace of the Emir at Bida,
on January 80, that the palace had been
captured and that all members of the ex-
pedition are we'll. The dispatches of
yesterday stated that Bida was to be bonn
barded on January ~. The capture of
Bida probably completes the destruction
of the Fulah powers, and will most
likely add to the territory of Great Brit
ain in Africa. The dispute between the
Emir of Nupe, and the Niger company
grew out of the Emir's practice of execut
ing slaves by the wholesale, after raiding
the territory under protection of the
company, in order to obtain the victims.
The British expedition consisted of 500
Pausa troops, six maxim rapid firing
guns, twenty-six mounted European Off
GERS, and 900 carriers, backed up by
flotilla of stern-wheel river steamers. The
Fulah army was said to number nearly
10000 foot soldiers and 1000 cavalry.
The Emir of Nupe is the most powerful
vassal of the great Mohammedan empire
of Sokoto.

Impressive Ceremonies Attending the
Count of the Electoral
Vote.
DISCUSSION OF TILLMAN'S LIQUOR BILL
Morgan Withdraws the Nicaragua
Bill, But Gives NOTICE That He
Will Press the Same Early in
the Extra Session.

Washington, Feb. 10. The first public
exercises in connection with the incom-
ing administration occurred at the cap
ital to-day, when both houses of congress,
in Joint session in the spacious hall of
representatives, counted the electoral vote
Of the various states, and listened to Vice
President Stevenson formally promul-
gate the election Of William Mckinley as
president and Garret A. Hobart, vice
5,rash8ent OF the United States. The
weather was propitious, aud the galleries
except small space capable of seating
only 200 persons, were strictly reserved
for ticket holders, 30 the stairways and
elevators were besieged in vain by the
eager multitude.
Tickets had been distributed by sena-
tors and representatives spectators
consequently constituted the distin-
guished assemblage. Although the cere
monies were not to begin until O'Clock,
the galleries were thrown open to ticket
holders at 10 O'Clock and within half an
hour all the galleries, except those re.
served for the diplomatic corps and the
president, were packed. Exactly at IL
O'Clock, Speaker Reed ascended the ros-
IL We
delivered an inspiring prayer. At 1850
O'Clock the house took a recess for five
minutes. No member of the presidents
household was in the gallery reserved for
him, but the family of Vice-President
Stevenson, occupied bench. The diplo-
matte gallery was almost empty. Shortly
before O'Clock, the members of the sem
ate left their seats at the other end of the
capitol, and walked to the hall of repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Lodge handed the result to the
vice president and Mr.. Stevenson re-
peated the detailed vote adding the con-
stitutional announcement that William
Mckinley and Garrett A. Hobert were
elected president and vice-president re-
spectively, for the term beginning March
4. This closed the proceedings which
lasted fifty minutes, and which had been
devoid of incident or applause.
TILLMANs LIQUOR BILL.
The senate to-day devoted the time
prior to counting the electoral vote to
discussion of Tillman's bill to give the
states All absolute control of the liquor
traffic, so that they may exercise the
police control of foreign-made as well as
homemade liquors. Mills and Vest op-
posed the bill as interfering with inter-
state commerce.
The house bill extending the time tor
complying with the actforfeitlng railroad
lands was passed, on motion of Mr.. Nc
Bride, Of Oregon. II applies to lands
along the Northern Pacific railroad.

of further fighting on the island. The
