Hogs Fed on Liquor.

lIAR"bsBrRG, KY. Sept. u. pco-
pie here have experimental and dis
covered method of securing the best
pork in the world.
Several weeks ago drove Of fifty
hogs was turned in on a trough Of fer
mentcd beer, which is Bourbon whis-
Key IN It's first stage. The porkcrs TOOK
to this new diet grecdily, and the en-
tire lot Of hogs were absolutely intox-
icltcd for about three weeks until the
swlll gave out. They would yulp down
the beer until they could hold nc
more, >targer off, drop down anywhere
IN a Sturor, sleep it off and then 20
anI repeat the dose.
The sight Of from thirty to fifty in
t"xicatcd hogs. some fighting, some
too stupid to fight and some rolling
down the hill into the distillcry branch
from which they had to be rescued
from drowning, was a novel one, and
attracted the attention Of many neigh
bors. When the beer gave out they
would neither eat anything else nor
bc comfortcd, and it was absolutely
pitlful to see and hear them sgucaling
around the troughs.
These fat shoats were killed ycstcr-
day and butchcrcd, and their meat
unanimously pronounced to be the
best favored, tcndcrcst and most savo-
ry pork ever tasted Cnicogo Chromt-

1t was Winfield Scott Schley who
said this when he was commander Of
the New York and stood on the for
ward bridge Of his ship outward bound
from one of the ports Of the Atlantic
seaboard. Ten minutes before badly
frightened man had run up to him,
calling out:
Captain, the forward port maya

"Then shut your mouth" said the
captain. The man, thus recalled to
his senses, touched his cap and re-
lapsed into silence, while his com
mander quietly ordered fire drill and

carried out, but it was not until all
danger was past that the officers and
men obtained knowledge of the true
state of affairs. When they did 6nd
out, they realized that their captain
had been standing all the time just
over the magazine, aud one of the
officers begged him to come down from
the bridge and let him take his place.
1t was then that the captain made the

Embarrassed.

The Rev. Mr.. was one Of the
most bashful men in the profession
and was constantly getting into scrapes
through his nervous mistakes. At
one time he rose in his pulpit and
gave out the hymn, eth, World Is
All q Fleeing Show" and after clear
ing his throat, he struck high pitch
of voice and began, solemnly
This world is all floating shoe"
Everybody smiled except the dca-
cons, and the minister was cavered
with confusion as he began again:
This world is all shouting flow. :
This only made matters worse and
the unhappy man cleared his throat
with tremendous force and began once
again:
This world is all floating She"
Then he slammed the hymn book
down and wiping his clammy brow
said

Hearts Unite Across the Mason and
Dixon Line.

The untimcly death Of the "daugh
ter of the C"nfcdcracy" has evoked a
sad wal Of grief from the entire
South, united once more in an express
sion of love and sympathy that does
honor to the brave hearts that cluster
their memories Of the past around this
beautiful and amiab!e v oman.
Yet we cannot suffer our brethren
south of the Mason and Dixon line to
monopollze the sorrow that the whole
country feels at the death of Miss
Winnie Davis.
We have not here the veteran asso-
Citations of the Confederacy, or those
strong personal feelings of acquaint-
ance and intimate companionship that
never die, but it must not be forgotten
that Mrs. Jefferson Davis and her la
mentcd daughter have been constant
and welcome visitors at the North for
many years, and have won a place in
our affections second only to the hom-
age which was their due at home.
We of the North would join in the
sweet and mournful sentiments ex-
pressed in the South because of Miss
Davis worth and for the sake of the
bereaved mothers loss.

The first four years of captivity were
full of horrible suffering for the unfor-
tunate Prussian. The prison consisted
Of four walls, inside of which were
huddled 200 prisoners, white and black
and Of both sexes. In the center of
this Enclosure stood a stone hut, with
heavily barred door and windows, into
which fifty Of the prisoners-as many
as could be crowded in-were forced
each night to better secure their safety
and incidentally infict sufferings
which would more forcibly remind
them that they were captives Of the
Mahdi's successor. The sun beat down
on the stone walls Of this hut during
the day. and at night when nearly all
air was excluded by the shutting of the
door the heat which the walls gave
forth made the notwithstanding, cursing
mass of sick humanity inside almost
another ''black hole::'' like that Of Cal
cutta. Typhoid fever, dysentery and
other ailments assailed the miserable
swarmed with vermin: now and then
howl of pain told Of a scorpion bite,
or an agonized groan would tell of the
death Of victim Of the terrible heat,
which produced nightly cases Of apop-
lexy. Live men and women slept side
by side with corpses and the death of
one more only called forth an exclama-
ton of anger if the dying one happened
to fall on or roll too close to a neighbor.
All during Neufeld's four years in the
vile prison the European slaves who
were not in irons-notably Slatin Pasha
and Father Ohrwalder, who had gain
ed many friends-made every effort to
secure his release from chains and the
horrors Of the stone hut. The Khalifa
was obdurate, however, until it was
suggested that Neufeld might be util-
lied in making powder, of which the
Khalifa's army was in urgent need.
This put the matter in a new light and

American Hotels in Cub.

AS Havana will undoubtedly attract
a large number of winter guests, bust
ness men of New York contemplate es-
tablishing a mammoth hotel there.
Early in the progress of hostilities
many capitalists realized that Cuba,
and especially Havana, was a fruitful
field in which to invest, and one of the
most patent avenues appeared to be a
provision for visitors to the land of
which so much has been recently writ
ten and said. The advantages of Ha-
vana as place for people of fashion
to winter was early exploited, but in
most cases the schemes were held in
allegiance pending the cessation of war
fare. Now that the war is over, there
is no reason why such schemes should
not be perfected.

One OF the yexed questions which
brought about the recent Indian out
break was the encroachments of the
white men on their timber. The Off
ciaI reports Of the superintendent OF
logging for that district show that
much OF the dissatisfaction comes from
the sale Of timber by the half-breeds,
mixed bloods and squaW men. The
following figures are given: Number OF
feet sold by the Guarter-bloods, To-
547 $50 feet: number Of feet sold by
half breeds, 2.261, 30; number Of feet
sold by the ''squaw men," 1,611 1896;
numbe- OF feet sold by the full-blooded
Indians, S45,339. Naturally the mixed
blOods are better able to do business
from their knowledge Of the English
language, and they make contracts for
the sale Of timber which the full-bloOd-
ed Indians do not understand and hence
resent Often dhe mixed bloOds obtain
the consent Of the Indians by fraud and
then sell out his claims thus obtained.
Altogether it is more the timber ques-
ton than the liquor question which is
to blame for the outbreak, though
doubtless whisky played its part there
as Well as elsewhere.

Neufeld's release was ordered. The
day after his release from the prison
Neufeld was sent with a strong guard
to Halfaeih in search of saltpeter, and
in a month returned with enough to
make all the powder needed. He was
given an Egyptian assistant, and a
powder factory was established in a
vacant mission house still standing
among the ruins of Khartoum.
Since 1891, up to his liberation, Neu-
field has, so far as known, continually
worked in this hut at the powder indus
try. A ball and chain was attached
to one leg, and he was told it would
never be removed. So far as known it
was still forged to his leg when Kit
chener entered Omdurman at the head
Of the triumphant Anglo Egyptian
force.
The story of the captivity of Sister
GrigOlini is even darker than that of
Neufeld. She belonged to the Austrian
Mission, and with Fathers Ohrwalder
and Binomi, two Caymen and three
other sisters was seized at the mission
at Delen, near El-Obeid, which was
then being besieged by the Mahdi, in
1882. The capture of Delen and the
missionaries was due to the cowardice
OF the captain of company of Egyp-
tians, who surrendered to an inferior
force Of the Mahdi's followers.
After being made prisoners the eight
white men and women were marched
to l-Obeid, where they found the Nah
di in person experimenting the siege
against Said Pasha. They arrived be-
fore the Mahdi SO exhausted they could
not speak. Insults and indignities in
describable were heaped upon the lit

Soon afterward the sisters were

barefooted over the burning sand with

brutally. The sun burned their faces
until the skin peeled off, and when one

captives were receiving. The Mahdi's
heart was touched at the sight of the
poor woman's wounds and he ordered

shreWdness in dealing with the ma
tiyes, and his courage in action was
undoubted. When one day he saved
whole detachment Of British troops by
a clever trick which put the enemy on
the wrong scent the camp rang with
his praises, and for this service he was
appointed purveyor to the army.
In the spring of 1887 Neufeld gath
cred together a caravan Of forty re-
tainers and, announcing that he was
going on trading trip, started on
journey into the Mahdi's country.
Many, however, doubted the announced
purpose of the little expedition, and ru-
mors were soon afioat that Neufeld had
been sent to spy ON the Mahdi, and that
he was to attempt the rescue of Slatin
Pasha, then five years captive in the
Mahdfs hands. Arabian treachery
was responsible for the failure of the
expedition and for Neufelds capture
One of his own men played the traitor,
and body of bowling fanatics swoop-
ed down on the caravan one morning
while they were encamped near well.
Neufeld's captors held him until
March, 1888, when he was taken to
Omdurman and led before Khalifa Alb
dullah, the Mahdis successor.
The dervishes and other tribes under
the Mahdi's rule were wild in their eX-
ultation over Neufeld's capture, believ-
ing him to be an Englishman, and he
was brought into the Omdurman under
a strong guard. The Khalifa looked
upon the capture as most important.
Two captive Europeans told the fanat-
ical ruler that Neufeld was not an En-
glishman, but from another country in
Europe. 1t took some time for Alb
dullah to see things in the right light,
which was lucky thing for Neufeld.
He was loaded down with chains, how
ever, and thrown into a vile prison at
Omdurman During the night the
Khalifa apparently made up his mind
that the while man ought to hang
whether an Englishman or not and or
ders were given that the prisoner
should be hanged in the morning. Neu-
field received the news through the
beating of huge drum close to his
ears. The populace was encouraged to
heap indignities on the prisoner; black
slaves spat at him as he passed on the
way to the scaffold. Neufeld did not
finch The Khalifa's indecision delay
ed matters until noon, when it was
announced the march to the scaffold
would be continued. The immense
crowds gathered to witness the execu-
ton of the hated "Englishman'' hooted
and yelled in wild delight as Neufeld
stepped fearlessly up and coolly bent
his head to receive the moose. At this
moment messenger from the Khalifa
ordered the execution stopped, and
then it developed the exercises were
arranged only to brighten the prisoner.
A few day slater Neufeld, loaded
down with all the chains that could be
fastened to his body, was placed on
CO rnefs back and paraded through the
streets Of Omdurman to give the popu-
lace another chance TO ho0t and deride
their captive, who was cow duly en-
