VILE HORSES A NUISANCE.

Animals Commit Considerable Dame
age to Fences in Search OF Water.
Many Indian horses are being killed
on the reservation by barbed wire
fences, says the Spokane Spokesman
Review. The degenerate horses, ADAM
doned by their Indian owners, have be-
come an acknowledged nuisance upon
the public ranges. They roam about In
large herds and are as wild as antelopes.
Their watering places have been fenced
up, and it is hard to divert them from
the runwsys of a lifetime. Each herd
is led by patriarch stallion, wboholds
his command with discipline that
would be credit to military tactics.
These herds range on the hills, far
from water, seeking the springs only
once or twice week. Their xuns are
sometimes as far as ten miles. The stall
lion drives the herd to water, following
in their flying wake and driving every
struggling beast with hoof and teeth,
pushing them at a high rate Of speed,
much after the manner Of buffaloes.
Mad with thirst and blinded with dust,
they rush into the wirefences that cross
the old trails, the leaders being driven
with such force that threats are cut
and legs are severed, but the fences 60
down and the herd proceeds over
plowed fields and growing crops. AS
result the reservation Is covered with
dead and dying horses, every sectionre-
porting the same scene and allowing
the victims to fare as best they may.

Delagoa Bay, on the southeastern
coast of Africa, is owned by Portugal.
1t is of great strategic Importance in
any future contest for control in South
Africa, because If it were in hostile
hands the South African Republic
would be prevented from getting ac-
cess to the sea. President Krueger's
recent large importations of war ma
terials have all been forwarded via Della
goa bay. England has been for some
time anxious TO acquire the bay, either
by purchase or lease from Portugal;
and the recent appearance there Of u
British squadron of eight ships, and
the landing of guns at Inyaek island,
at the entrance of the bay, indicates
that the arrangement, though denied,
has been made.-Youth's Companion.

LONELY sPor IN THE ATLANTIC.
Tristan da Cunha Might Almost he
Clagsed as out of the World.

(laEacd na out OF the " OTlu.
Anybody who feels an inclination to
lead a really quiet life should emigrate
to Tristan da Cunha, an island, or, to be
quite accurate, three islands close to-
pether. in the South Atlantic, so far
await from anywhere that really they
hre cAite out of the world. The group
was discovered and named by the Por-
tuguese away back in the time when
Portugal was something more than
name on the map, but now, of course, 1t
belongs to England, having been ap-
propriated by her in 1916 one day when
she didn't happen to be busy grabbing
stray bits of land more valuable than
this one. For awhile some soldiers
were kept there, because of a vague
suspicion that Tristan da Cunha might
be made the base of operations in the
interest of st. Helena's terrible guest.
After Napoleon's death the whole gar
rison departed. except a corporal and
two companions, who had taste for
solitude and asked to be left behind.
Slowly the population grew, at first
from wrecks and afterward in the or
binary way, and now there are "a peo-
pie on the island, divided into 1G fam
lies.
According to a recently published
blue book the colony is an abode of
complete peace and moderate happi-
ness. The people have no money and
no private property. There are no doc
tors, lawyers or clergymen on the
island, and yet health. safety and piety
prevail, and such few needs as the soil
does not supply are met by traflicking
with an occasional whaler. Once year
an English warship visits the island,
distributing a few newspapers and let
ters, and goes away again. The only
serious calamity that ever overlook the
islanders was when, during our civil
war, the Shenandoah landed 40 federal
| prisoners there and left them to be fed
or starved. as the inhabitants saw fit.
This sudden demand on their resources
came near destroying both hosts and
guests. but they managed to struggle
through the difficulty. The islanders
| are good to shipwrecked mariners and
the only charge brought against them
is that they sell extremely tough poul-
try to captains calling there for fresh
provisions, and try to get as much cloth

A DuELING PEOPLE.
-Four Thousand Encounters a Year In
Germany.

HOur IhOushnd Encounters q Year In
Germany.
More ducls are fought in Germany
than In any other country. Most of
them, however, are student duels, which
eliminate in nothing more serious than
slashed cheeks or torn scalps. OF all
German university towns little Jena
and Goettingen are most devoted to the
code. In Goettingen the number of
duels averages one a day, year in and
year out. On one day several years ago
12 duels were fought in Goettingen in
"a hours. In jena the record for one
day in recent times is 81. Fully 1000
student duels are fought every year in
the German empire. In addition to
these there are the more serious duels
between officers and civilians. Among
Germans of mature years the annual
number of duels is about 100.
Next to Germany France is most
given to the dueling habit. She has
every year uncounted meetings, "mere-
ly TO satisfy honor" that is, merely to
give two men the opportunity to wipe
out insults by crossing swords OF firing
pistols in such a way as 10 preclude the
slightest chance of injury. In the duel
statistics these meetings are not reck-
oned, as they are far less perilous than
even the German student duels. Of the
serious duels France can boast fully
eco from New Years to New Years.
The majority of these are among army
officers. More than half of these result
in wounds; nearly 90 per cent. in serious
wounds.
Italy has had 1850 duels in the last
ten years and has lost so citizens by
death on the field of honor. Some 400
of these meetings were consummated
with sabers, 179 with pistols, 90 with
rapiers and one with revoivers. In 974
cases the insult was given in newspaper
articles er in public letters regarding
literary quarrels. More than 700 prin-
cipals were insulted by word Of mouth
! Political discussions led TO $50; re-
ligious discussions to 90. Women were
the cause of 1S9. Quarrels at the gam
bling table were responsible for 1S9.
A summary shows that, as regards
numbers, the sequence Of dueling coun
tries is: Germany, France, Italy, Aus
tria, Russia. As regards deadliness oi
duels Italy comes first. Then come
Germany, France, Russia and Austri;
in the order named. For the most seri
Gus duels the pistol is the favorit'
weapon in all five countries.-N. y. Sun

GREAT RACE TO-DAY.
sKIFFs ARE IN SHAPE TO DO BAT
TIE FOR PRIZES.


Much interest is being shown in the
skiff race that will take place on the
Delaware river this afternoon. The ia
vCrites of the different craft are loud in
their praise for their boats, and bets of
various amounts have been made.
New Castle had the appearance Of a

with the money wagers. She has won
every race this season in which she has

she was beaten in time by the Carrie

clared the winner of the race because
she was not sailed in the course laid
down by the judge. This boat will be
the Evening Stars most dangerous op-
