LIVING ON MONKEY MEAT.
Straits to Which an American Pros
pectOr Was Reduced In Mexico.


From the Chihuahua Enterprise.
Living in Mexico is 15rtsh "a disastrous
experience to the foreigner who is rot
acquainted with localities and customs
In the case of John Bascen and his com
panion, an Englishman named Martin
Hayes, their experience was such, but
it as also interesting. In conversation
with Mr.. Bascon that gentleman stated
the following to an Enterprise reporter:
mot long ago I came up from Guante-
mala with an Englishman named Martin
Hayes, and we had three burros laden
with goods. We prospected all along the
line of Tonelado, and stopped for one
week with an Indian at Tehuantepec
While there we learned that in the dis
trict up TO Tonelado there was plenty
of gold, as another EngHshman had
passed through there with 5000, which
he had panned out at a certain point
somewhere in the region Of San Fable. in
OaXaca. We traced the gold along the
streams for sixty miles. and reached as
far as San Miguel. We were very nun
CRY by this time, having run short of
provisions, and, going across the noun
tainS, were told thai We should be care
as banditu were numerous. Soon after
two men met us not far from San Miguel
and they both had rifles. They ordered
us to halt, but pulled a revolver and
took their guns away from them and
marched them on in front of us. When
we arried al San Miguel one Of them en-
tered a complaint before the jesse politico
charging us with holding them up. but
the jesse knew the men too well to listen
10 their story and the result is one of them
is still in Jail at that place.
when we left San Miguel we secured
a mozo 10 guide US 10 Where the English
man referred to found his gold, but
when we got there the mozo would not
stay, as it was known the Enghshman
had returned and died there. We found
his skeleton, with the legs and arms
eaten off, and the mozo being fearful
he would see the ghost of the dead. left
US TO ourselves. We went across a river
and camped in the adjacent woods
Along the stream we prospected for gold
and in two weeks we found gold which
went about % cents to the pan We re-
manned there about six months and all
that time we lived on monkey meat and
green bananas and BOTH too, without
salt Just think Of III Nothing but
monkeys and occasionally a fowl or
two and not a tortilla or common hot
cake. Well, sir, my partner Martin
Hayes, of London, England, died four
months after from the privations suffer-
ed during that time, and l don't suppose
his wife or family ever heard of II. But
we got some gold, all right, and monkey
meat would have been all right for me,
if we only had some salt"

DISCOUNTED a NEW LANeuAeE.
An Interpreter Required to Explain
ST. Louis Levee Lingo.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The services of an interpreter were re-
auired during the trial of Charles Parker
in Judge Peabo4y's court the other morn
ing. Yet the prisoner and all the wit
nesses, with the possible exception, of
course of the police officer, We're born in
the United States. Strange as this may
seem, and difficult as it was to try the
case the extra half hour which was re-
quired for the trial because an interpreter
was found necessary, may have been well
spent. for 1t spreads a hitherto undiscov-
cred country at the feet Of the magazine
poet who writes weird things in dialect.
To tell the truth, the witnesses were
their own Interpreters, but this makes the
case none the less interesting. No one
but man born and raised on the river
can speak Levee lingo, and as the defend
ant and the plaintiff were both natives of
the river strip, Judge Peabody was una
bic to understand them. Parker was
charged with assaulting Jim Rankin and
the latter told his story In this way:
"Ah was dun gwine down toard dat
shincrfa when dis niggah hyah spokology
TO meh toe low bridge an All was duck
in ma nut when he cum long an shashes
TO meh with a bumbershoo. All dun tole
he-uns toe screw teo de lef bank when
he shives me on de COCO with a rock All
reckon de shiner-up dun heah rumpology,
TO he lankeys round de conan an pulls
his smoke makon. De pocket-cutter he
am scared an lows he am gone, and
heah we is" Which, being translated, is
equivalent to saying that the speaker was
walking down to the whart-boat when the
defendant told him to go away. He start
ed and the defendant ran after him. He
Hofa dor, In hot
tleman picked up a paving stone and
struck him on the head. He shouted for
help and the officer came running around
the corner with his revolver in his hand.
He told the defendant to surrender and
that individual threw up his hands. They
were then taken to the police station.
During the trial the following choice
bit of conversation took place:
you say you have worked with the de
PENDANT for three years. What do you
know about him?'
"Hey am a pocket-lountah!"
whats that?"
"a red-lighter."
"Well, be more lucid. What is a red
llghter?"
''Hit am puhson wat steals a pub
sons clothes an den dumps him ovah-
bod De las wat he sees am de red light
on de back o. de boat"
"How do you know this?'
"'Cose All capoozled."
whats that?"
Lighted evener."
"What does that mean?"
Divided" This with much disgust.
But. from the last word it became ap-
parent TO the city attorney that he meant
he had divided proceeds Parker was
fined $40, and told the marshal as he was
being led back that he had been junk
a-bunked," or not been treated right. Ram
kin, who appeared against him, said the
prisoner dun got beans, or what he de-
served, and he went away happy
"Ah dun got he-uns sewed up in de
lamp house, he told another man. Goo
bers be sproutn' fo' he-uns box-cars.' -
Which, being translated, meant he was
locked up in Jail and peanuts would be
growing again before he had a chance
to shoot craps.

ASKS FOR A RECEIVER.
sensational Claims In Application of
the Linseed Oil Company.


the Linseed Oil Company.
Chicago, Sept. 16.-Application for a re-
ceiver for the National Linseed Oil Com
pany was made in the United States Cir
cult Court late to-day. The bill was filed
by Meyer Bernhard, who states that he is
the owner of twenty-five shares of the
stock of the corporation.
Bernhard sets up the claim that the
National Linseed Company has become
thoroughly discredited chiefly through
the operations of its officers and directors,
and so embarrassed financially that it is
no longer able to prosecute It's business
effectively and with profit, or to carry
out the objects for which it was incorpor-
ated.
The bill asserts that by reason of gross
ana fraudulent mismanagement on the
part OF its officers and directors and the
misappropriation by them of its moneys,
leVehue and income. the company has
peen paralyzed in its operations and been
unable TO meet it's financial engagements.

SAVANNAH is SAFE.
The TrOpieaI Storm Is Hung Up on
the Coast of Florida.


A charting of tine weather conditions OBJ
tanning at 8 p. m. last night over the South
Atlantic coast shows that the extreme edge
of the tropical cyclone is still overlapping
the Florida peninsula The storm center is
approximately due east of Cape Canaver-
al, far out in the Atlantic and moving on a
track between east and east, northeast.
That the storm Is moving east is shown
by the eastward movement of its extreme
western edge, and the wind directions along
the South Atlantic coast. At 8 p. m. Thurs
day the pressure line of 1880 inches passed
through Savannah southwestward into the
Cuff, rounding into the south and south
east 200 miles west of Tampa. Last night
at O'Clock that same line had moved to
within 50 miles of Tampa, thus showing an
easterly movement of the storm center of
$50 miles during the twenty-four hours Its

shows that it was recurring, that is,
changing its track from northwest to
northeasterly. This recurve of tropical
storms generally takes place between 25 to
80 degrees north and at the point of recurve
the onward movement of the storm is ma

Cruiser BrOokIyn's Men Have

From the New York Press.
Now that the two rear admirals have left

The men on the Brooklyn have griev-

shots that had struck her had torn along
her sides and she looked as If she had been

marks of battle on her, that New York

How She Made a short Circuit.
From the Kansas City Times.


Larned KAMA little 13-year-old Paw
nee county miss, Bertha Leonard. has
lately given the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Companies an unlimited amount
of trouble in a most unique and peculiar
way Berthas daily duty was to herd and
watch large drove of her fathers cattle
w nose range was near the Western Union
and Postal telegraph lines.
For some time past at irregular inter
walls during almost every day these lines
absolutely failed to work, and the trouble
seemed TO be somewhere In the vicinity
of where this girl ranged her fathers cat
tie, but, try as the line repairers would.
II could not be definitely located. Finally
il was discovered that Bertha, in order
10 get a better view of the herd, had
driven railroad spikes into a telegraph
pole, so that she could climb it, and that
she would, whenever she got weary watch
ing the cattle from the ground, climb
the pole, pull up a board by means of a
cord. place It across the wires, seat her
self on the board, and spend an hour or
two watching the herd from her uniquely
improvised elevated station. Whenever
the board happened to be damp or wet,
and the frequent rains this year have kept
the board wet most all the time, II de-
stroyed the electric current and practical
~ cut off all telegraphic communication
between Denver and Kansas City.
When discovered and Informed OF the
damage she was doing to the business Of
the telegraph lines, Bertha was greatly
surprised, and was apparently utterly ig-
norant of the fact that her seat on the
wires interfered in the slightest degree
with the working of the lines.
