LIEUT.. WISE AND HIS CAMERA

Lieutenant Wise did something on the field one day that was character istic. His was unlike the action of any other officer, veteran or youngster. He fought bravely; hc did not run; he was not killed or wounded In this he was rot different from scores of others. But the wonderful thing that he did the thing characteristic of the kite flying. photographing. bicycling, ner- vous enthusiast that he is-was this:
 He charged up the hill at the head of his company in the face of Mauser bullets thick as hail, and with schrap- nel shells bursting all around him, and carried in his right hand his sword and 1T his left a rapid-firing camera of his own device He took twelve views on the film plates while he was running, and when he and the standing remnant of his company were in possession of the top of the hill and the Spaniards were flying down the other, Lieutenant Wise turned to a sergeant and said:
 ''; think I've got some pretty lively pictures this time. If there was only some ice in this sunburned country I'd develop them right now"
 Then he gave his camera to private to guard and resumed fighting.-New York Press

Landlord Demands Double Rates for
 Two-Headed Freak.

Anderson, Ind, Aug 12-Mlle. Christie, the famous double-heade freak who has appeared in side shows all over the country, is mixed up in a queer complication in this city and is detained by her landlord, who insists that she settle for board for two in stead of for ore. He makes a good case, claiming that she ate with two mouths and ordered with two heads and ate enough for two ordinary wo- men.
 She is fighting the case with two heads and both mouths and issuing ultimatums from both sides of herself. She fears that to pay double here would establish a precedent She has previously had but one clash, and that was with railroad conductor, who insisted on her paying two fares. She won her case in that instance.
 The woman is really twins She has four arms, four legs and two breasts and is simply joined together from her breast to her hips. She talks and req sons with both heads and one side can have the headache while the other is enjoying itself She has but one
 heart, however. and any pain inflicted to the body is realized all over.

John Frey Of Topeka Says the Golt
 Country is Over Estimated.

Topeka, Aug. 12.-John Frey, son of J. J. Frey, the general manager of the Atkinson, Topeka & Santa Fe railway. onghiy disgusted with the country and his trip. Today he said:
 That country isn't what they claim | it to be. We had a good trip. The mines are not giving up anything like they claim. After we got up in the north we had to walk over the trail to Lake Bonnet. Then we built long boat and went down the river nearly 00c miles. In the forty-three days we were going we saw forty-seven boat wrecks. As we went down in a twelve mile current, there was a bend in the river ahead of us. There was a boat i'll front of us, and as they rounded the curve they ran into boulder. which cut the boat in two just like a knife. AS we passed along the boat sunk and the men drowned right within our sleht. It was very hazardous trip. We went to Dawson City. It is a grand fake. All you get to eat up there is bacon and beans. They have meat which they call fresh, but you can't tell whether 1t is a year old or not
 The boats returning from there are mt carrying the gold which they claim. It Is the purser of the ship who gives out the reports about the gold brought down. I got we'll ac- qualnted with the purser of the ship which we came on, and he told me confidentially that there was about $S0. 1000 on board The next morning we saw in the papers that the ship had brought million and a half 1T, geld and it was vouched for by the purser. That is all worked by the l transportation companies"

THIEVES ON A LINER.
A Ships Officer Tells Of Piundered
 Nails and Goods Struggled.

New York, Aug 12.-JOhn ky2astOn third officer of the White Star line steamship Britannica, who was arrest ed Friday in Jersey City while trying to get some stolen coupons from Unit ed States bonds cashed, has made confession which discloses all extens- i've schme for loc..--,-- the --..a::,,3 and smuggling.
 i Befol'e s.vca5t-c-'s c:;--rs-s!on rr1as | made thera was ~~rch e--c'-~-co~- a; 1 tre steamships pier, for the customs officers stationed on the pier had dis covered a wholesale attempt at snug gling. They had found $10,O00 worth of imported lace in bags of soiled clothes being loaded on a truck, to be taken to laundry in Jersey City.
 Urited States Commissioner Shields issued warrants for Albert Muller, the truckman who was loading the snug 1 gled goods, and for William BernauId, Thomas Tighe and Henry Galway, as sistant stewards of the ship. All were taken to Ludlow street jail Friday. Bail was fixed for the assistant stew ards at s2500 and for the truckman at $500. These four men deny that they had any part in the smuggling and would probably be discharged were it not for the fact of Kynalston's s confession.
 1 But the five arrests on board ship 1 startled another chief officer, J. w Ja- go. who ranks second only to Captain Haddock on the Britannia. Jago has been OR the ship in responsible place c., caid, Cheshire. England. He has been regarded as one of the brightest off cers in the employ of the White Star company.
 Shortly before D. m. Fiday Jago walked up to First Officer Radish told him he wished to go ashore for an hour and turned over command of the snip to him, Captain Paddock being absent From that moment to this Jagu has not Teen seen.
 Tn his confession Kynaston said there had been for the last seventeen or eighteen years an organized con- spirecy On board the Britannic to rob and plunder wherever there was a chance. Of this conspiracy Chief Off, cer J. ". Jago. he claimed. was the brains and active head. All the men followed his directions and took their pro rata share of the profts-or, to ',e more precise what he was pleased to give them. Not one of the members isave Jago knew all the other members
 Tho chief bushes, Kynaston said. was pidndering the mails going and coming and landing and disposing of slnugsled goods in New York. He de- clared Jago was very rich man. hay ing fine estate at Liscaid, Cheshire , England, and it was understood much , of his property had come from bis traffic conducted as an officer CT tEe RIitannic.
 Kypaston said Jagos method of rob bibg the mails was to get one of his
 tools in the mail room of the ship
 where the work might be done at leis-
 ure. Whether they took out the riv.
 cts in the bags or had duplicate keys : of the bags Kynastcn does not know
