White House GUARDS.

The Philadelphia North American

Objectionable characters, VINO might

If Secret Service men detailed to the
White House to protect ths life of q
President until Grover Cleveland
made the request of Chief Hazen
shortly after his last Inauguration.
4 squad of twenty Secret Service
raen were at once sent to the White
House and placed under the orders
of President Cleveland. Tel of These
men watched the President during
the day and the other ten performed
Il similar duty at night. Grover
Cleveland never left the White House
during his last term as Prssiden:
that he was not closely followed by
two or more sleuth- hounds. When
be would go out for drive his car
riage was followed by a pair of hawk
shaws armed to the teeth, in a bug
gy drawn by fast horse, who had
strict orders to shoot the first person
who might attack Mr.. Cleveland
When he made the trip between here
and Buzzard's Bay, government de
teetives accompanied him. 1t is said
that Mr. Cleveland had an hallucina
lion that he would be assassinated
and for that reason he was constant
" shadowed by detectives.

attention exclusively to running dew1
law breakers, for which they are EN-
ployed, instead of loafing around the
White House and junketing abou
the country with the President.

Decayed Ribs Removed,

The Bloomfel Advocate says:-
Edward Kuller, son of William Kull-
er of Spring township, recently re-
turned from Philadelphia, where he
underwent surgica, operation that
shows what great advance has been
made in surgery. He had had pleu-
risy, how long ago we havs not been
in formed. but it seemed that he could
not get well, He went to the Uni
Ysrsity hospital at Philadelphia.
There the surgeons ascsrtained what
VAS tho matter. They laid bare three
or four of his ribs and finding as
they expected to find, that they were
par TALLY decayed, removed the part
that were dead, thoroughly cleansed
the region affected, sewed him up,
and he returns apparently almost as
rel as he ever was.

Oa Saturday evening when the
merry Pennsylvania College Glee
Club were doing their best to enter
tain their audience in the Court
House there was a different kind a
play being enacted in the second
story Of the Jail that stands east Of
the Court House and near enough to
he.r the Glee Club singers. 1t was
not music that entertained the seven
prisoners in the Jail. 1t was ghost

expressed alarm and that brought all

SUBMARINE CABLES.

Messages at . Profitable Speed.
While submarine cables can now be
made Of any length and at comparatively
small cost, great difficulties are still en-
countered in sending messages at a
commercially profitable speed, and these
difficulties increase with the length Of
the line. In long cables there is a trou-
blesome re.ardation of the electric cur
rent, due to the fact that the insulating
cover of the copper strands becomes it.
self electrified, and this surface charge
delays messages by preventing the cur
rent at the beginning Of any signal
from rising rapidly to its maximum
and again trcn; rapidly dying out. The
consequence CT this is that while from
400 TO 600 words minute can be sent
nver a land lire, the maximum speed
on an Atlantic cable is somewhere about
32 words q minute. Before the "siphcn
recorder and Lord Kelvin's "crrb
sender" We're invented, the maximum
speed was eight or ten words Per min
ute. Curiously enough, the more perfect
the cables insulation may be tie greater
is this retar(:Gtion, and slight leaks in
this covering often increase for the
time the lines working capacity. Tie
corrosive action Of the salt water is ac-
tive at such points, however, and will
soon cause break in the cable.
Professor Silvarus p. Thompson c.
the Royal society of England has in
vented system CT cable construction
by which he expects not only to increase
the capacity of the present lines, hut to
make practicable the covering of the
8, 600 miles which separate Hawaii from
North America. His plan is to make q
cable with two separate conductors in
closed i'll the same armor, SO rs to form
e complete circuit, and every 1C0 or $50
miles he will introduce stretches of
cable with three such conductors, the
third being a wire of high resistance,
the purpose CT which is to act as sort
Of artificial and protected leak. Ore end
OF this llilG wire will be connected with
tie positive conductor ard the other
with the negative che. By this device
the static charge on one wire will neu
tralize that Oh the other, ard all retarda-
tion will be avoided. The expectation
is to multiply four or five times the
number CT words now sent over Atlantic
cables, TO increase to 20 CT so the IL
words per minute that could be sent
over q single core cable to Hawaii, and
raise from ) 10 75 the words sent frcm

OSTRICH HUNTING.
Profitable Sport That Is Making the A.
Y1cAn Birds Scarce.

xTOutAOle
ricAn Birds Scarce.
An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport, or rather the sale of booty is so
great us to attract hunters. The Arabs
give themselves to it with real passion.
Mounted on their fine little horses. they
try as much as possible 20 fatigue the
ostrich. for as it is feet high and has
very strong legs it possesses quickness
Of movement which the best horse can
Overtaken by the hunter, it seeks to de-
fend itself with its feet and wings, but
more often it still strives to escape by
night, uttering a plaintive cry. In fact,
the ostrich is deprived Of the power Of
flight by reason Of its great size. The
muscular force with which nature has
endowed it is not equal to lifting such
q weight Its peculiar organization has
made it the courier Of the desert, where
1t is able to quickly traverse the almost
imitless expanse.
The Arab knows very well that 1t Is
the habit Of the ostrich to make great
detours about its nest in a circle. he
chases it, then, without ceasing until it
is almost there, when, worn out, it sue
cumbs, concealing its head in the sand
in order not to see its enemy, or in
stinctively hoping 10 escape a danger
which it cannot see any more. This
chase requires eight or ten hours, but it
offers large rewards. The plumes are
worth considerable sum, the skin
makes good leather, and the Arabs are
very fond of the flesh. Besides, in spite
of the fact that it reproduces its species
rapidly, the ostrich is all the time be-
coming rarer. and it is hunted for ex-
port and domestication in other coun-
tries. 1t is one Of Africa's great re-
sources and may become a new source
of prosperity to Algerians if they are
willing to make the effort. The point of
the popular saying, "the stomach Of an
ostrich, =" has been confirmed recently by
an autopsy on one, doubtless for time
captive, when the following was found
in its stomach: A parasol handle, two
keys, two great pieces Of coal, a glove,
handkerchief, pair of eyeglasses, a
ring, a comb, three large rocks, the necks
of two beer bottles, the sole Of q shoe, a
bell and little harmonicon. IL

Married in a Tree Top

Wilkesbarre, Pa March 25.-Miss
Lizzie Swanger and Harry Bangler,
her accepted saitor q :arreled at a
party held at neighbor's house near
Montrose. Shortly before midnight
they returned to their homes. They
we're accompanied by tine Rev. w.
Hunter.
The party had occasion to pass
through field. Here they were
pursued by furious bull and all
three took to tree. Miss Sxanger
climbed one tree AMI Bang!er and
the minister the adjoining two.
The infuriated bull ran around
aad around the tree, believing and
throwing the earth in the air. The
trio remained up the trees nearly an
hour and no relief cana. The bull
still stood guard.
Thinking this an excellent time to
reconcile the couple the minister be-
gan. HIS work was done. however,
almost before he had begun. The
couple desired t? be married then
ard there, thinking they were about
10 meet a tragic death, and the min
ister married them. Bangler had
had license in his pocket for sever
al weeks.
The lovers could just join hands
from where they elung, and when
thsy got grip they held it, while
Mr.. Hunter performed the ceremony.
When the goo man had conciud-

bull was drived away, the preacher
kissed the bride and resolved his fee

NO BLOOD SPILLED.
But the Duel Was Fought. and Everybod
Was Satisfied.

But the Duel Was Fought, and Everybody
Was Satisfied.
Every one who knows anything about
Major Wirton knows that he is without
q spark of physical cowardice. That is
the reason that he incurred no risk in
telling the story that follows:
Right after the war went to Texas
and formed business partnership with
rough Lut brave and big hearted native.
We leased and stocked an extensive cat
tie ranch, hired our cowboys and estab-
ished little community of our own.
My partner superintended affairs at the
ranch while did the dealing, the pur-
chase of supplies included. This took
me to the nearest market, and, as it was
too soon for the prejudices between the
two great sections of the country to be
entirely allayed, I was very careful to
talk nothing but business.
But one day in the hotel an ex-colo-
mel who had taken OH extra steam at the
bar so persistently attacked my political
principles and SO clearly aimed his gen.
eralities at me that retOrted angrily.
This was what he wanted. He handed
me his card, and within half an hour
two of his friends waited on me, pursu-
ant to the code duello. To gain time I
referred them to my partner and hurried
back to the ranch. He was delighted at
the prospect. 1t would be q great piece
of advertising to bowl the colonel over,
and at the same time it would insure
me against like trouble in the future.
But by principle and training was ir
revocably committed against the duel
at was difficult for me to make my
partner comprehend any such moral bias,
especially as we had fought OFF cattle
thieves together, and he knew that
had nerve and was q dead shot. He
himself, when aroused, was recognized
as one of the most dangerous men III the
southwest. His ultimatum was that we
must meet, but with it was positive
assurance that IN one should be hurt.
The affair came off, and after three ex-
changes honor was satisfied without a
drop of blood. Ny partner had simply
told the colonel seconds that they must
load with blank cartridges or settle with
him. They hastened to choose the blank
alternative, and i'll time the colonel and
became fast friends. He ccnfidentially
admitted to me afterward that he reck
oned he'd lost his shooting eye and must
keep out of trouble detroit Free

made it light enough to see the stone
coal that tho prisoners threw at it,
go clean through the body of the
ghost, but it did not mind the stones.
After frightening some of the prs
oners almost into fits, it quietly pass
ed through a door that was tightly
closed and bolted on the opposite
side from the dungeon and has not
since been seen. OF course it was NO
ghost. If the whole story was not q
fabrication from beginning to end, it
was little play that one or two Of
the prisoners got off to frightsn the
others with.
