KING OF NEWFOUNDLAND.
A business Man who owns Miles OF
Land, Bat May De Dis
possessed.

Newfoundland has king and he is
II. G. Reid. Many years ago in the face
Of much opposition the government
started to build q railroad through the
island, and the natives, ignorant fisher
men, tore up part Of II. Several con
tractors took hold, but they were un-
successful too. Then the government
started again, and the resumption rf
the work was partly responsible for
wreclting oil banlSs and nearly running
the colony in 1893.
Then Mr.. Reid, contractor from
Montreal, agreed 10 take hold if he were
TO get 5000 acres of land for each mile
of the railroad or It's branches he COM
pleted. lie introduced modern meth
ods of construction and built first
class railroad. Now the government
has turned over to him the acres prom
ised, making 250 square miles, and has
given him franchises for all electric
railways, coal mines, copper mines, pc"
troleum deposits, the government dry
dock and the privilege of erecting pulp
mills and other industries under the
benefit Of protective tariff. All he
paid for this was s1,OOO,OOo, half Of
which is to be returned in subsidies
The bill was rushed through the
legislature with only one dissenting
voice, and no debate was allowed. The
value Of his gift is worth easily s20.Ooo''
600. Many privileges not mentioned are
possessed by him. Ayeor ago o paper
was read calling attention 20 the great
mineral wealth of the island, and the
paper was very much commented upon
/ After the elections were over it wa'
seen that n new government had entire

Then this deal was heard of. The ex

SAILORS COULDN'T SLEEP.
They Remembered the Maine ana
Were watching for spnniards
and waiting for Revenge.

at was a constant round Of drills and
picket duty on our ship at Dry Tortu-
gas after the Maine was blown up" said
recently returned naval officer to an
Electrical Review man. "We were 20
miles at sea, with no source Of news,
and we didn't know when Spanish
fleet would heave in sight. We all
worked harder than ever, chiefly 20
keep our minds occupied. Ny division
included what / considered the crack
gun crew Of the ship, and the way those
boys handled the rapid-fire guns was
something delightful.
"After n week or two Of this unusual
drill, which developed a proficiency
truly amazing, l noticed that my pet
gun crew became listless and n triiie
slow in their work. They seemed 10
lack heart. Sharp words and repri-
mands only served TO stir them up tenn
porarily. was at loss to account for
this change. and set out to discover the
reason. I called up the old gunner's
mate and asked him what he thought
was the cause.
"Don't know, sir. The boys IS all
right, sir--only guess they don't sleep
very well, sir
"More puzzled than ever, 1Tesolyed to
keep my eyes open. Jackie is n queer
bird az times. The next night was Of
fcer OF the deck and had the mid-watch.
Along about two bells thought heard
voices forward, and went to investi-
gate. There was that whole blessed
crew slowed away as comfortably as
possible upon the deck, looking out TO
sea. Some were lying down with their
eyes glued on the water others had
their elbows on the guard rails with
their chins on their arms looking out
over the waves.

men, and asked him why he wasn't be-
| low in his hammock where hebelonged.
"'Well, sir we amt a-goin' to get

owe the Spanish something for that and

eIIere was the explanation OF my gun
crews listless performance. They were
working as hard as men could work and
getting little or no sleep. 1t wasn't

THE sOLpIER,s QUESTION.

Most persons, whether they were
raised in the city or in the country
know what a scare-crOw is. For the
benefit OF the few who do not, and for
the especial benefit OF a Pennsylvania
soldier now Olcamped at MOntchanin,
the Wayiarer win state that I'm the
Spring OF the year the festive crow has
a disagreeable habit of following the
farmer in the field and eating the corn
as fast as he plants It, Anyone who is
at all conyersant with the characteris-
tics o. the crow knows that IL Is NOR
tally afraid Of mankind, and especially
OF q man with a gun. A farmer can
not afford to stay in the field, or to let
his men do so, for the mere purpose Of
soaring away crows, so he sets mp
dummy men in different parts Of the
field and they serve the same purpose.
Some days ago the Wayfarer was out
at the MOntchanin camp. The girls in
that noighborhood are completely car
ried away with the boys in blue. and IL
Is a very poor sort OF a soldier who has
not two or three girls pulling at his
heart strings It does not take q good
soldier long to get on easy terms with
n girl, and the Wayfarer met one OF
this class, with his best girl, walking
along a country road not far from the
camp. Suddenly the soldier espied a
crow sitting on a pole out in. a pasture
field which hOrdered the road.
What is that, a scare-crow, Mag

'Tm sure ] don't know" she replied
"but ! guess it is. IL you think SO
John"
Then, dismissing the matter as set
tied they began talking Of other things
and while they were doing so the crow
on the pole gave a "cawl" and flew of

people witnessed the ceremony. The
cortege was led by the representatives
of the imperial court, followed by the

dent and the { snevese council. The
firemen lined the streets. The brilliant
sunshine made striking contrast to
the gloomy aspect of the mourners.

silver Wreaths, was surmounted by a
silver cross and had white plumes at
each corner The casket was of polish
ed oak. with silver mountings. 1t was
almost hidden beneath floral tributes.
On the arrival of the hearse at the
railroad station, which was hung with
black drapery. the coffin was removed,
the remains of the empress were cere-
moniously blessed and the casket was
placed in the railroad car which was
then Theoretically sealed. After this
the Austrian officials embarked on the
train, and it departed from this city.
