A WIFE THE PRIZE.
Missouri Man Starts Round the
World on Novel Conditions.

Missouri Man Starts Round the
World on Novel Conditions.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
F. Allen McQuary is in st. Louis on a
journey round the world to win wife and
s., 600 on the side. He wears purple plush.
a helmet and a sword of ancient style and
rides a charger. He is accompanied by
two large dogs, and is a veritable knight.
He started around the world May 20 from
Mountain Grove, Mo. He earned enough
money in a newspaper office TO purchase
his outfit and began the long and tedious
Journey. He must secure the signature of
the postmaster in every town he visits,
the governor of every state he passes
through and the ruler of every country he
enters. This must all be accomplished
within eighteen months, and he must re-
turn to Mountain Grove within that time.
This young man fell in love with pretty
Arkansas maid. and her father compelled
him to sign the above agreement. The
pr ospective father-in-law also furnished
two large dogs. If the young man returns
with both he is to receive the girl and
5000. If one dog is missing, $1,000; if
both are gone. 5000. But if he circles the
globe he will get his sweetheart at any
rate. He will also visit Cuba, and must
secure the signatures of Generals Gomez
and Weyler From this place his route
has rot been determined upon, but he is
firm in his determination to win the money
and a wife.
Thus far Mr.. McQuary has been very
successful. He has many signatures and
has visited many towns. He believes that
he will be able to encompass the earth
within the specified time. and that he will
make enough money TO support Mrs. Nc
Quarry when he gets her.
He is relying entirely upon his nerve and
the good will and generosity of the people
he meets. He started absolutely penniess
and with nothing but his clothing 10 sup
port him. He Is not lonesome, because he
has his dogs for comfort and though tired
ard worn at times, he plucks up courage
when the vision of happy home and a
sweet helpmeet looms up before him.

MONKEYS IN PENNSYLvANI,.
Numbers of the Simians Running
Wild Near Philadelphia.

RON the Philadelphia Record.
A number of monkeys have recently been
seen running at large I'm the marshes along
the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. in the
vicinity of Girard Point and Point Breeze.
with the result that not only has the novel
circumstance greatly excited the residents
of the neighborhood. many of the younger
ones having taken TO monkey-huntng. but
tfe special treasury agents have started
an investigation to discover the cause OF
the unusual presence of the simians.
The new Dinglsy tariff law imposes a
cuty OF 20 per cent on all such animals
and the treasury officials are of tn. opin-
ion that the monkeys escaped from small
boats as they were being landed surrepti-
iously at night.
During the rast month number of YES
sells have arrived at both Girard Point ard
Point Breeze from the Philippine Islands
and Java, bringing not only monkeys and
deer. but large collections of parrots and
other rare birds. In every case the mas
tiers of the vessels We're notified on their
arrival that both the monkeys and birds
were dutiable, and that permits from the
custom house would be Necessary before
they could be brought ashore.
Several of the monkeys have been seen
during the present week. They were hid
ing in the marshes opposite Girard Point
and appeared to he weak from hunger and
exposure during the recent rains. Chief
Officer Rogers of the British steamship
Whitetield, which is loading at Girard
Point, caught large one which had evil
IDENTIFY come from Java, and proposes TAX
ing it with him as pet.
1t Is a common practice among sailors
TO have monkeys and parrots as pets and
one of the theories of those familiar with
the circumstances Is that the animals es-.
capped from their owners and wandered OF,
or that the sailors, becoming tired of the
bother and enpense of keeping the pets
had re leased them and turned them loosa
into the marshes.

iEgton, though the fact has been forgotten
there. IL was during the Crimean war,
when Mr.. Marcy was secretary of state.
and Sir Henry jackson held the position of
British minister. Her majesty's govern
ment deemed it necessary to write lee
tUre to the United States instructing us
in our duties and rights as neutrals. So
Sir Henry and his staff arrayed themselves
in official regalia and drove to the State
Department to give the United States its
lesson. They found Mr.. Marcy in his Of
flee and the minister stated that he de-
sired to read a essage from his govern
ment.
Give it to me and ] will read it care
fully myself said the Secretary of State.
But l am instructed to read it to you,
protested the minister.
Very WELL" Mr.. Marcy acquesced. So
the minister Strengthened himself and in
his most impressive tones read the
document. which was very supercilious
and condescending lecture of a sort which
England would call brutal and insult
ing if addressed to herself by Secretary
Sherman. Meantime Mr. Marcy looked out
of the window and drummed on the table
with his fingers. When he had finished
reading Sir Henry announced: And now
her majesty's government ventures to ex-
press the hope that the United States will
see fit to observe these suggestions. His
voice carried Interrogation point, and
he paused for reply.

is your good LADY,"
Mr.. Labouchere says the incident was

HOW PRESIDENT .FAuRE TRAVELS
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to
Insure His Safety.


From the London Telegraph.
Extraordinary supervision is exercised
by the detective department over NJ. Felix
Faure during his progress through the
southern provinces. Whenever he sits
down to an official lunch or dinner ten de-
tectives from Paris are eating near him
behind Il curtain, all taking care that no
unauthorized person approaches him.
Long before the president left for the south
police of the places to be visited were put
on the alert by officials from the Elysee.
and when NJ. Faure started he was ac-
companied by NJ. Henion, chief supcrin-
tendent OF the presidential residences. I'm
der this officials orders three or four
detectives, who appear to be ordinary
travellers, and whose duty it is to watch
the persons who approach NJ. Faure at sta
tons in order to make speeches or to pre-
sent flowers.
Preceding the president is another high
police official, NJ. GcrGeaG, who has twelve
or fourteen men With him. These detec-
tives mix with the people in the towns
through which the president passes, listen
to conversations in cafes. and are sup
posed to have their ears and eyes well open
while on duty. A few of them, however,
are told off as Special watchers over the
president, and do not try to conceal their
identity. SO that anarchists may know that
the head of the state is well guarded. The
officers not selected for this special duty
adopt various DISCUSSES. Sometimes they
wear blouses and look like peasants or
workmen in a crowd. One agent who
knows English is said to be fond of giving
himself the air of sham milor." He
goes about in a check suit, white hat and
morocco slippers. thus affecting the clothes
generally attributed by minor playwr1shts
and comic artists to the average English
man. This man is foolishly supposed to be
the usual John Bell, who wants to see
everything that is going on, and he gener-
ally succeeds in imposing on his fellow
countrymen. 1t is not reported that this
person is on duty in the southeastern prov
inces, but he has been frequently seen in
the wake of NJ. Felix Faure at Havre and
other places.
