HIS PIGTAlL SAVED HIM.
John Chinaman Escaped a Horrible Death
because of His Queue.

John Chinaman Escaped a Horrible Death
Because of His Queue.
From the st. James Gazette: John
Ch1naman has penetrated even to the
heart of Matabeleland. At least there
is Il adventurous Chinee who
reached there and who now owes his
life to his pigtail and the quaint per-
sonal peculiarities of his race. He was
Oh his way to a certain mining district
to act as cook, etc., to some prospec-
tors when the present disturbances be-
gan. Poor "Pigtail" found that to con-
tiEue his journey or to return would be
rather risky, but decided on the latter
plan. He had passed the remains of
many murdered whites lying along the
road, when he was overtaken by some
ten or twelve Matabele bloods on muir
der bent and armed in various ways.
On reaching him and finding that he
was not a "Beoongar," or white man,
they consulted among themselves and
finally, after circling round the celes-
tial one in a hesitating manner, they
drew nearer and with respectful w
touched him, to make sure that he was
in reality flesh and blood. He was
certainly lot a Cape half breed, Hot
tentot, nor anything else they had ever
seen, so, after an exchange of compli-
ments, carried on in best Matabele and
Chinese respectively, they withdrew,
probably thinking that he was a pow
erful witch DOCTOR who might have
annihilated them by some mystic pro
cess.
Poor, frightened "Pigtail' was over
taken by a small armed party of fugi-
tives who, with the assistance of an
Indian cody, hailing from Natal,
where our hero had also sojourned, ex-
tracted from his quaking lips the par
ticulars Of his race. They had them
selves been attacked by the same band
Of Matabeles. However, a triumphal
entry into Buluwayo was finally &C.
complished.

VOTED BY MACHINERY.
The New Device Given a Thorough Trial

The New Device Given a Thorough Trial
at Rochester,, N. Y.
The Meyers voting machine was tried
with a fair degree of success in the pre-
cincts of Rochester, N. Y. in the recent
election.
In spite of mishaps of all kinds, uni
versal satisfaction is expressed with
the machines. Voters we're surprised
at the ease and rapidity with which
they were able to make their political
preferences known. Those that voted
the straight ticket, and had therefore
to push only n knob, met with no per-
plexity whatever. They could march
in and out with
IN and out at the rate of from two to
four a minute. Those voters that voted
a split ticket required a little more
time. They had to push a knob for
each candidate they voted for. Still
they voted with surprising rapidity.
sometimes the votes were at the aver
age rate of two a minute. But sixty and
seventy votes an hour was the average.
a the polling clerks been able to
verify names more rapidly the average
would have been somewhat higher. 1t
was they n not the voters that caused
the most delay. One of the most salts
factory features of the machine was the
rapldity and accuracy with which it
permitted the result of the election to
be Known. Within twenty minutes
after the closing Of the polls the com
pany's central office was in possession
of the result of the voting for presiden-
tlal and gubernatorial candidates in all
the districts except half a dozen. These
were obtained by 6 o'clock. BY 9 o'clock
the results of the election in all dis
tricts on all candidates were known &C
curately.

The Whole Globe a GRAVEYARD.

The Partisan doctors and speculative
philosophers are great fellows for max
ing odd calculations on all subjects.
One Of the latest is one concerning
the human family since the beginning
of time. 1t is a long magazine article
and gives much that is interesting in
the way of human family statistics,
but the most striking portions are
those which give figures on the num-
bers of human beings that have in
habited the earth and have died and
been buried in it since the first man
was created. According to these Gu
rious figures, the earth has been peo-
pied by no less than 66,627, S42, 397,-
075,266 human inhabitants since the
beginning Of time. To bury this vast
number the whole landed surface
would have to be dug over 100 times.
Had you ever thought that you were
living in the midst of such a gigan-
tic ceneteTy?-St. Louis Republic.

Sensational Facts Touching a Celebrated
Adams Express Robbery.
Some sensational testimony was
given before Judge Barr at Louisville,
KY, a day or two ago, which revives
the story of the theft of a S35, 900
package from the Adams Express com
pany a few years Ago.. Before the ar
guments in the damage suit of Mrs,
Eugenia Elrod against the Adams Ex-
press company were begun counsel for
the express company introduced as evil
dence an alleged confession made by
Mrs. Minnie B. Ketchum, Charles Har-
din's former wife. In this confession
she states that her husband had told
her that Charlton Elrod got him a DO
s!tlOn With the express with
the understanding that they were to
steal at least ST, 1000, 900 from the com
pany. Hardin came home II morn
ing with about 81 600, and said that he
had stolen $35 900 and had turned the
most of it over to Elrod1 They went
to Cincinnati, where he gave Mrs.
Braun, his mother-in-law, $4,000, with
which she bought a house in More
land, a suburb Of Chicago. They made
their home there for a while, having
gotten from Elrod ST., 1000. From time
to time, Mrs. Ketchum says, Elrod had
visited them and gotten back as much
of the money as they would give him.
Before Hardin was arrested he had
given his parents in Arkansas $4,000,
with which they had purchased a home.
1t will be remembered that Hardin was
acquitted of this robbery in Nashville,
where he was taken fer trial. He is
now in the Michigan City, Ind, prison
