tractive Than His Singing.
Whitney Mockridge, the noted tenor, was
once taking troupe of singers around the
country giving concerts at the principal
towns in the middle west and northwest.
The troupe also included violnist and
solo pianist. They eventually arrived at
St. Louis, a town on the Mississippi river.
From there they expected to take train for
Sedalia, a hourishing town in the interior.
But to A1ockridges dsmay, there was no
train which would take him to Sedalia in
time for his concert. The officers of the
Missouri Pacific railroad were sorry, but
it could not be helped. Mockridge tele-
graphed ahead to his agent to see if the
concert could not be postponed. "1mpos-
sible," was the reply.
But the tenor was equal to the emergency.
He CROPPED down in his broadcloth and ex-
tracted roll of large, potent bills, currency
of the realm. These he waved in the coun-
tenances of che railroad people and demand
ed a locomotive. special car for his troupe
and clear track as far as Sedalia. Money
talked and he got the train and the right OF
way. He telegraphed to the anxious agent:
eve are coming, Father Abraham, 10000
strong. Meet us at the depot with band"
The news spread through the town and
crowd gathered at the depot. The special
train ate up the l78 miles between St. Louis
and Sedalia as hungry tramp eats piece
of huckleberry pie The wheels only hit the
high places. The crowd at the depot was
madly enthusiastic when the train leaped
into town, and there was crowd at the
concert. To hear the singing? Oh, no. To
see the fellow who had saved the day, with
Sedalia l78 miles away.-Chicago Chronicle.

MAN WHO WORE A DAISY.
Girls Laughed Because 1T Was Of

They were giddy girls of the kittenish age,

game of everyone and everything they saw,

to their nets.
One passenger on the elevated railroad
particularly amused them, from the fact
that although it was the month of bleak
Novem Der he wore white daisy in his
buttonhole, fine specimen of the ragged
edge variety. 1t was conspicuous from its
size, and the girls regarded it as a legiti-
mate object of sport. Not being deaf nor
blind, the man who wore the modest flower
with the yellow heart grew embarrassed
over the attention he received. At last one
of the girls made Il discovery.

others, in a loud whisper.

Mystery of a Chicago Woman's Dtsap

Mystery of a Chicago Woman's Dtsap-
pearance Solved by u Confession.
Chicago. Nov. 29.-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Mrs.
Pauline Merry from her home at No.
so Hope street was solved Sunday after
noon by the confession of Thomas
Hickey. who was arrested on suspicion.
Hickey told .evolnng story of how
Christopher Merry choked and beat his
wife week ago last Friday. Then,
finding it impossible to restore his wife
to consciousness. Hickey says that Mer-
ry decided to put her out of her mis-
cry" by beating out her brains with
a poker. The horrible story told by
Hickey was extorted from him after
several hours in the "sweat box" Late
Sunday afternoon he led party of DO
lice to an |uninhabited portion of the
city near Eighty-seventh street and
Western avenue, where Mrs Merry's
body was found buried beneath few
inches of loose dirt by the roadside.
The disappearance of Mrs. Merry ex-
cited almost as much interest as that
of Mrs. Luetgert. Last Saturday the
police learned that she had been made
away with by her husband at his cot
tage in Hope street. Merry was ped
dler and owned several horses. When
the police began their investigation the
three-year-old son of Merry told them
that his father had killed his mother
and had lowered her body through a
trap door into the cellar. Following
this clew. it was found that Merry had
driven away from his place Saturday
morning with covered wagon, but no
further trace of him has been discov-
cred. Thomas Hickey, an employe of
the stable where Merry kept his horses,
was put in the sweat box and confessed
that he and James Smith had been
present. when Merry beat and choked
his wife. The three men sat up Friday
night and vainly tried to restore Mrs.
Merry to consciousness. On Saturday
Merry, he says, decided to kill his wife,
which be did with poker. The body
was carted away, and Merry, although
still in the city, has successfully eluded
the police.

THOUSANDS PERISH.
Terrible Havoc by q TyphOon in PHIL
ippine Islands.

1DDine Islands.
San Francisco, Nov. 29.-The typhoon
which swept over the Philippine islands
on October 6 was the cause of one Of
the worst disasters that has been re-
ported from the southern ocean in many
years, it not in the history of that Sec
ton of the world. Thousands of lives
were lost, includi, g many Europeans,
and the damage to property was some
thing appalling. !Telegraphic advices
concerning the calamity have been very
meager.
Several towns were swept and blown
away. Fully 400 Europeans were
drowned, and it is estimated that 5000
natives persisted. The hurricane struck
the island at the Bay of Santa Paula, in
the province of Samar. 1t devastated
the entire southern portion of the
island, and cut off communication with
the rest of the world for two days. On
the 18th the hurricane reached Leyte,
and struck the capital of Tacloban
with great fury. In less than one-half
hour the town was mass of ruins.
The wind blew with such fury that
trees and dwellings were not only lev
eled to the ground, but were taken into
the air and carried away. What the
first attack OF the hurrica ne spared was
destroyed by successive blasts of almost
equal fury. Then came tidal wave
that ran far inland like a solid wall of
water. Everything in its way persisted.
Vessels were either ingulfed or were
carried on its crest to be left high and
dry when the monster wave receded.
The native inha bitants were thrown
irto the widest panic, and wild rush
was made for clear ground. At least
400 natives were killed in this struggle
for life. Some were lifted bodily by the
wind and dashed to pieces against walls
and trees. The greater number were
killed, however, by flying debris.
The Europeans. as a rule. preferred
to take their chances under their own
rooftrees. Their fate seems to have
been even more sure than that of the
tieein5 natives. In half an hour the
wind had done it's work, and the town
was heap of debris. When the native
authorities recovered sufficiently from
their panic to institute search for the
dead. they took out the corpses of 1876
Europeans from the "uins. There is
little idea of the number of natives
killed, but the bodies of 400 were found
in the city itself

csition of the United States, that the
Canadians should stop killing seals for
q year, beginning January 1, indica ties
that it is not possible to comply with
the proposal, as every British subject
has the right to engage in pelagic seal
ing unless prohibited by imperial de-
cree, which can only be issued by au-
thority of the imperial parliament, and
parliament will not meet until. Feb
ruary. The Canadian reply suggests
that the proposed joint commission be
appointed and meet at once; when.
upon conclusion of negotiations upon
the half dozen questions at issue, in
Guiding the sealing question, the neces-
sary legislation could be secured from
the British parliament and the suspen-
sion of pelagic sealing go into effect

catch train and save minute he
rushed across the track-to his death.
Moran was typical of the average Amer

ing pell-mell to his destination, and
when he gets there usually finds that
he has time on his hands. We are for
ever rushing and tearing to business
and taking things leisurely when we
get there. This is the land of bolted
breakfasts and gobbled lunches, the
land of dyspepsia and all it's attendant
ills.

The oldest inhabitant of Hawaii, and
probably the Oldest human being in the
world, who is in good health and has
retained most of her faculties, is ma
tive woman residing in Honolulu Her
name is Kepoolele Apau, and her age,
from the most authentic reckoning, 1874
years. She says that she remembers
the digging of the well in Kau. and that
she was child at the time, similar to
a child running about the house, child
of between six and seven years. This
event occurred in 1881, and is described
in Fornander's history. This would
make her 122 years old, according to
exact calculation.

Mexico has been stricken with the

whereby a European syndicate has
agreed to furnish 1000, 900 colonists for
the country of Diaz. If the agreement
be fulfilled Mexico will certainly be-
come "greater" in point of population,
but it may be well doubted if such a
machine-made increase will greatly
benefit the country. Where will the
million come from? It is reasonable
to believe that they will be drawn large
ly from the pauper and criminal classes
of Europe, and if this proves to be the
case the Mexicans may have ample rea-

The beet sugar factories in southern
California have this year produced
100000 pounds of sugar, and there is
every prospect of this output being
doubled next year. Such figures ought
to remove all doubts as to the possibil-

country. With that industry once
placed upon it's feet, the United States
should produce all the sugar needed
for its own consumption, instead of con-
tinuing to import the great bulk of it.
