Startled the Natives.

At about . o'clock Sunday
morning a loud report of a gun
was heard in the vicinity of the
Pacific Club. Lieutenant Kekai
was sent up to investigate and
while on the way to the scene, a
telephone message was received
at the police station to the effect
that some one near by the club
house had fired off a revolver, for
what reason it was not known.
Upon investigating the matter,
Lieutenant Kekai found that the
shooting had been done by one
T. E. Brown. No arrest was
made, but the man in question
was instructed to report to Mar
shall Brown.
Several members of the Pacific
Club were still in attendance at
their old haunt and were very
much startled by the explosion.

curious point recently arose in con

in Moscow. In accordance with the
police regulations, it was necessary
for every official of the congress to fill
up form giving particulars of him
self and family. The President was
the Czar, and to him two of the forms
were sent. They were returned filled
up as follows: "Name, Nicholas
Romanof; ordinary occupation. EN-.
peror of all the Russias and sovereign
of the Russian territories; secondary
occupation, if any, land owner and
agriculturist. The second form, also
in the handwriting of the Gar, was

The remarkable number of fatalities
among railway mail clerks in recent
wrecks calls fresh attention to the ex-
treme hazards taken by these public
servants. 1t is claimed by those who
have taken some pains to gather sta
tistics that the death rate is greater
in proportion to numbers than actual
warfare. This seems almost incredi-
BILE, yet it is apparent to every one
who investigates that of all the posi-
tions in the railway service that
of the railway mail clerk is accompan-
led by the greatest risk. 1t is gener-
ally supposed that the engineer and
fireman have the most hazardous
posts, but they always have at least
moments warning and are often able
o save themselves by jumping.
Active preparations are being made
among the mail clerks to petition Con
gress for better protection. Those
who have the matter in charge are
considering various suggestions that
may take the form of recommendations
One reform that will probably be
placed after instead of before the bag
gage cars, the through baggage coach,
which is usually unoccupied by bag
gageman, while the train is in motion,
to take the place next the engine, now
invariably assigned to the mail coach.
It is also probable that the Govern
ment will be asked to supply its own
cars and to make them of steel, and
without platforms, which facilitate the
telescoping process and its frightful
results. City Journal.

invaded Somaliland, and were like
wise vanquished by those who were !
