1896, when a Republican Legislature
dccreed a new registration, well rencm-
bering their success following that OF
1882. As IN 1882, the colored voters

Senator German and the Tariff.
(From Baltimore Heiald.)

Washington, June Ex-senator Cor
man to-day succeeded in having the
cheap grades OF floor mating placed on
the free list in the pending tariff bill
The Dingley bill imposed a duty of
eight cents per yard on this quality of
mating, and the Senate bill proposed to
reduce the duty to four cents There are
about hall a dozen big importers of this
class OF goods in Baltimore, and they all
united in asking to have it placed on the
free list They stated that the class of
goods imported and sold by them is
used by only poor people, and that it is
one OF the Jew comforts they enjoy; that
the mating OF this grade is not manu-
featured in the United States, but it is all
imported from Japan and China
The object OF putting prohbitive
duty on this grade of mating. according
to the representations OF the Baltimore
importers to Senator German. was to
keep it out OF this country. and thus
compel the people to use goods OF a
more expensive grade made i'll the
United States.
Senator German had made prepara-
tons to carry his amendment through
with his usual care and certainty He
procured the cooperation of the Silver
Senators and OF the PopuliSts, and, when
the issue came. the Republicans were de-
feated Senators Teller, Pettlgrew and
others voted with the Democrats to
place this mating on the free list Sen
ator Wellington voted with the Republi-
cans against placing it on the free list

for the correspondent that he is perfect

and his own paper vouches for the truth

Gently discovered a cave near certain
medicinal springs that contained a sim
gle occupant, a venerable man, with
white beard and hair to the knees, who
warned away his disturbers through
gestures and threats that could not be
misunderstood. Theodore Forman, who
unearthed the cave, was engaged in
blasting an opening in the side Of the
mountain when one shot tore a hole
through which he could see the strange
creature.
The only explanation Of his presence
is that he is a descendant of the cliff

The cave is also reported TO be filled
with all sorts Of queer relics that could
be seen by the light of Egyptian lamps.

RIVER UNDER A TOWN.
It Il Believed hat the Lost River Il In

diana Has Been Located.
For many years the invisible course
of the famous Lost river, which sudden
ly sinks from view at Il point near the
town of Orleans, Ind, has melted scien-
tlfc inquiry. No trace of this under
ground river was ever discovered until
the recent heavy rains. 1t is now be-
lieved that Lost river runs directly un-
der the town of Orleans. This belief is
based mainly upon the fact that during
the recent flood the water burst forth
from what was supposed to be a small
cave in such volumes that the town was
flooded. The water has now ceased to
flow from the cave, but any one stand
ing near the entrance Can hear the rush
ing Of the torrent, apparently hundreds
of feet below.
The explanation of the sudden ap-
pearance of the water at the cave is that
owing to the great volume caused by
the rain the subterranean channel was
insufficient to carry it off, and the pres
sure became SO great that it sought re-
lief through the cave. This belief is
further confirmed because some years
ago there was an attempt to bore for
gas at Orleans. After q depth of 500
feet had been reached water gushed
forth with terrific force and continued
to flow for many months. cleveland

LAST MAN MUST DINE ALONE
Unique Organization, with Headquarters
In Ligonier, Ind.

Az AiBouter, Inu.
There exists in Ligonier, Ind, u very
unique organization of men, The like OF
which is not known in the United
States. Twenty years ago ten young men,
the sons of prominent business men,
formed themselves into IA society the
name of which is the A. S. A. They
were joined together by the usual so.
lemnity of an oath, and the ~organiza.
tion was created to exist until there
was but one member left. The last er.
vivOr, on the night Of the annual ban.
Quet, which commentaries each year
of the socicty's existence, is to have
plates laid for ten, eat his supper alone,
and thus end the organization.
All members are now married, and
since the organization, 20 years ago,
there has been but one of the mystic
circle taken away by death. 1t has been
the custom on the 18th day of January
Of each year to have a banquet, and
this has been kept up during the entire
term Of existence. Jan. IL, 1897, will
be kept as the twenty-first anniversary.
The banquets are elaborate, and the So
ciety numbers among its members resi-
dents in Chicago, Toledo and other cit.
les. The loyalty and fidelity exhibited
among its members are equal to those of
any fraternal Or beneficial organization.
1t is the wish Of each of the members
that he will not be left to be the partici.
pant in the final banquet. A loving cup,
which is handsomely designed and has
the lame Of each member and the date
of the organization of the society en-.
graved upon it, will be kept by the sur.
viving member at the final banquet.
In northern Indiana the organization
has gained a reputation for its hospital
ity and the manner of entertaining its
friends. 1t has but recently been made
public that the organization is to con.
tinue until there is but one member liv.

Animal Warfare.

The conditions of the life of the mon
keys in Africa are sufficiently curious
without reference to their acquired
habits, though these are undoubtedly
due TO the dangers to which the nature
of the country in which they live ex-
poses them. The different species OF bab-
oons, which are found commonly over
the whole African continent, are all by
nature jewellers in the open country.
They find their food on the ground,
and whether this be insects or vegeta-
bles it is usually i'll places which afford
little shelter on protection. Though
strong and we'll armed with teeth, they
are slow animals, with little OF the
usual monkey agility when on the
ground and not particularly active even
when climbing among rocks.
In rocky 'kopjes" Of the south, or
the cliffs and river sides of Abyssinia.
and the Nile tributaries, they are safe
enough. But they often abandon these
entirely to invade the low country. Dur
ing the Abyssinian expedition conducted
by Lord Napier of Magdala they regu-

the coast and stole the grain on which

were fed When on expeditions of this

A Counting Episode.

A young couple, evidently from the
country, were walking down Regent
street one day, apparently looking for
something very much in particular. At
last they stopped before a large jewel
ler's window. in which were displayed
a number Of wedding rings. They stood
by tho window for a few moments, dis
cussing some urgent question, the big,
clumsy looking fellow, who measured
about feet, apparently hesitating.
$50 on, George" said the girl, who
scarcely reached his elbow. What's
the use of backing out. now you've got
so far?'
81 don't half like to, Mary" he re-
Piled. "That slick looking fellow in
there is sure to grin at me-"
"What difference does it make
whether he laughs or cries?" exclaimed
the girl. IF you haven't the pluck, I'll
go myself"
That's it, Mary" was the response.
IF you'll do the asking, I'll come with
you and look on"
Followed by her bashful lover, the lit
tie woman marched boldly in and chose
the wedding ring, while her swain
twirled his hat, blushed and looked on.
AS they left, the shopman gazed after
them with thoughtful air and re-
marked:
II admire Mary's pluck, but
shouldn't care to be George ten years
