THE co,

Despite the rain Maennerchor hall
was well filled to see the Oliver-Colby
company in their program OF special
ties last night. The Colbys did a very
clever sketch entitled Human Ma
ture," Mrs. Colby impersonating a So
ciety swell and Mr.. Colby a tramp. The
Colbys were persuaded to play upon
their aluminium chimes" last night
and the music they made fairly raised
the audience from their seats. 1t Is in
deed a most wonderful instrument.
The Oliver sisters were the recipients
Of much applause and delighted the au-
dience with their singing and dancing.
Little Frank Colby sang again last
night. repeating the chorus Of that
beautiful song, you're So Good,
Daddy from the back of the house.
The company will play again tonight
with an entire change of bin, in which
all the members will be seen to great
advantage. Prices the same, 10, 20 and
80 cents.

CHEYENNE MAN CRAZY.
Says He Had His Head. Arms and Legs
Cut on.

Yesterday afternoon a jury adjudged
William Casey insane and he was sem
fenced to the state hospital for the in
sane at Evanston, says the Cheyenne
Tribune.
Casey Is the man who was mentioned
as having been arrested by Marshal
Proctor last Saturday and was confin-
ed in the city Jail. where he acted in a
strange n In the court room
yesterday Casey presented a pitiable
appearance. He trembled, the muscles
in his face twitched nervously and his
eyes resembled burnt holes in a
blanket. When asked to relate his
troubles he said that he recently came
to Cheyenne from Denver to escape his
prosecutors. Casey said that while
there he was attacked one night by a
gang of men, whom he described as
terrible looking individuals, and after
being taken to an underground room
his captors cut off his head. arms and
legs. Casey said he managed to escape
to a place of safety, where he gathered
himself together, and stuck his arms,
legs and head back on again. revivine
his lost senses by smelling a piece Of
lime rock. A few days later he was
again attacked while with his father.
He managed to escape and came to
Cheyenne, but his father was taken and
beheaded.
If there were any doubts in the minds
of the jurors as to Casey's mental on
dition before his story was told, these
were dispelled long before he had fin
ished his startling narrative.
Casey will be taken to Evanston to-
morrow by an employee Of the asylum,
who will arrive today.

FISHING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Ingenious Mechanism by Which the
Natives Make Piscatorial Catches.
The Malay race is probably the most
Skillful in fishing, and the Philippine
islanders are not behind the other
branches. An illustration shows one Of
Jheir favorite ways Of cathing fish that
run along the bottom OF rivers, bays
and arms OF the sea. 1t consists of a
long raft ranging from twenty to sixty
feet in length and from eight to twenty
feet in width. At the rear part or stern
there is a platform, and on 1t a little
house, in which the fishermen doze
during the heat OF the day and sleep at
night. In the middle Is a small fur
mace in which they do their cooking,
and a jar in which they put fine fish,
and a tank through which the water

In the bow is a cumbersome but In
senious drop net mechanism. It con-
sists Of two long and strong poles
fastened to the raft on aries and by .
rope at the upper end Of the two, which
here touch each other, running down
to a ~wdndlase in the stern sheets. To
the top Of this jurymast are fastened
two enormous bamboos. crossing in
the middle and bent to form a semi
circle. The four ends of the bamboos
are connected by a great bag net rang
ing from twelve to forty feet square.
When used the fishermen throw a lot
Of bait into the net and lower the ar

and permitting the rope to unwind.

axles. and the net sinks until 1t lies
upon the bottom Of the river. Tho 6sh,

An able lecture was then delivered
by Prof. Merz on United States His
tory" under the federalist supremacy,
the subject being treated first as to do
nestle questions and later as to for
eign relations.
A paper on the Philippine islands by
Miss Matte Moore was the next num-
Der on the program. The lady's re-
marks were brief but to the point and
very interesting.
Prof. Lee, in a few helpful remarks,
spoke of a daily program for schools,
giving some fine suggestions as to the
most practical way Of arranging one.
Miss Maud Moudy read an excellent
paper on General Culture" The tai
ented young lady dwelt broadly with
the subject, dwelling on the culture
a child should receive at school. Her
remarks were witty and to the point
and constituted one of the most pleas
ant features Of the day.
Prof. Merz continued the discussion
OF Child Study" referring o par
ticularly to discipline. To illustrate
the feelings OF children who have been
punished and who think they have been
treated unjustly, the professor read a

VIII CONSIST Of Three Battleshjps and
Eight Cruisers When He Sails for
Spain and CamarA.

Washington, D. c., July IA Sec.
rotary Long has determined TO
strongly reinforce the eastern squad
roa, and as soon as the operations
against Santiago de Cuba are con-
cluded decision will be reached
and the feet will be immediately
sent east
The commander in chiefs flag has
been changed from ths protected
cruiser Newark to the battleship
Oregon. The Newark will not be
detached from the squadron, but
will be employed for scouting and
for overhauling Spanish vessels
which may appear.
Either the bettleship Iowa or the
battleship Indiana VII be assigned
to the eastern squadron, probably
the Iowa. The belief Is that the
New Orleans, Minneapolis ind 90
lumbia also will be attached 10 The
squadron and the converted cruiser
Prairie also may be assigned to it
Commodore Watson vii then
have three battleships, the Oregon,
Massachusetts, and Iowa, four pro
tected cruisers and four converted
cruisers, which will be easily able 10
dispose of all the ships which re
main in the Spanish navy.
The formation of such a large
squadron means that q more extern,
sive program Of operations is being
outlined for Commodore Watson
i than was originally contem plated
When Commodore Watson shall
have established his European base
OF supplies he will turn his attention
to Camara's squadron, which, when
destroyed, will leave him free to
operate against the Spanish coast
From the present arrangement il
appears certain that operations
against Havana will not be under
taken for some months, as Samp
sons whole strength will be needed
to fight Moro.

John Rodd, a negro of unusual

Rodd is the only victim of the storm.
He resided with his wife and two
children in log hut built in a heav-
lily wooded section adjacent to Mon
egaw Springs During temporary
lull in the electrical bombardment
Rodd arose and dressed preparatory
to taking his family to a more secure
place among the near by rocks. He
was already badly frightened, and

his nails and fingers. In his agony
