The party decided to climb TO Pixies

they a made the climb. Besides. the
tickets for the cog road were 1913.

But no. they were determined 20

ly and lightly along he ties. At first
the incline was gentle enough. The view
of the mountain was beautiful. Cog n

taineer coming down. He walked In a
peculiarly wabbling way. due to the
constant bending Of the knee In the long
descent.
Are there any bears on the peak?"
they shouted.
He put his hand behind his ear. "Eh?"
he said. The noise of the stream was
d~eafening.
Bears, Bears. Are there any bears

A BOLD IHEfI.
A Horse and Buggy belonging TO sher-
man stolen.

"Au NtOltus
About the boldest thing that has been
called to the attention OF the authorities
in a long time was the stealing OF a

were gone. MIR. Sherman had noticed n
couple of rough-loOking fellows stand
ing on the street when he hitched his
horse, but had paid no attention TO
them. Now he recalled the fact OF their
presence and II struck him they were
probably the ones who had taken the
rig.
A fresh track In the snow led from
Hamilton street into the alley between
Broadway and Granite streets. Mr..
Sherman followed this west 70 Mon
tana street. where the track went
down Montana, and the track shove
the buggy had slowed around. indicat-
ing that the horse had been going at a
rapid rate OF speed when the corner was
turned. MIR. Sherman was satisfied the
track was tha OF his buggy and that
his horse had been stolen. Following
the track down Montana tiil IL tufneu

that the horse thieves would leave the

Mr.. Sherman went back to his store ana
sent Nicholas May. one Of his men, IN

yer Bow and on reaching there tele-
phoned in that he had been informed

Pudding Prom Cement.

From the London Weekly Telegraph.
Some time ago, writes a volunteer. I
spent a week with a garrison battery In
a south coast fort. On the last day the
sergeants sal down to an exceptionally
fine dinner. the crowning glory OF which
was a large pun pudding. I had made
the pudding two days before. had II
boiled. and now, reheated. IL made Its
appearance amid the welcome shouts OF
my brother warriors: and I naturally felt
a bit proud Of IL. for 1 hadn't been a
ships cook for nothing.
Seems mighty hard" remarked the
sergeant major. as he vainly tried TO
stick his fork into IL. "Have you boiled
up a cannon ball. Browney?'
"Or the regimental football?" asked
another.
where ala you get the -four from"
questioned Sergeant Smith.
Where from?' ] retorted. From
store No. 5. Of course"
'.The deuce you did, roared the quar-
tefmaster sergeant. Then hang you.
you've made the pudding with Portland
cement
And so It proved. That Pudding q now
preserved IN the battery museum.

THE LATTlMER SHOOTING.
Testimony of Foreigners Who Partic-
ipated in the Fatal March

WILKESBARRE, Pa Feb. 16.-The first
witness called in the Lattimer shooting case
to-day was Frank Meteschick. He told
about the march to Lattimer and then
said: The sheriff stopped US at Lattimer
and got hold of two of the men who were
leading us. He pulled them out of the line
and let them go, and, aiming his revolver
at man standing within few feet of him,
he fired. The man fell, and he cried oh
God help me" The next moment there was
another shot and then a whole volley After
that there were a number of scattering
Shots"
In the cross-examination Meteschck was
asked if he could tell what man it was that
the sheriff shot. Meteschick did not know
his name, but thought he could remember
his face. Attorney Lenahan, for the prose-
cution, thereupon asked the commonwealth
to produce him, but the man could not be
found.
Martin Soforonck told the story of the
march to West Hazelton. At Lattimer. he
said. the sheriff stopped the marchers. He
told how the sheriff had pulled two men
from the ranks and then shot one down.
Soforonck became very much confused In
his cross-examination, and on four occa-
sions was obliged To confess that he had
not told the truth when he made various
assertions.
Before the court adjourned at noon Mike
Mullado, the man who was shot by the
sheriff was brought into court. Meteschick
was asked If he recognized Mullado as the
man who was shot down by the sheriff.

Conference at the White HOuse-sec-
retary Longs Advices and Orders.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-two members
of the Cabinet who spent some time with
the President to-day state that everything
so far received indicate that the loss or the
Maine was due to accident Captain Slgs-
bee in his kilograms from Havana, states
that he is not prepared TO express an opln-
ion on this point. The President and sew
eral of his Cabinet associates held an ex-
tended conference about noon. 1t was not
a Cabinet meeting, as~no notices had beer
sent out, and only Secretary of the Navy
Long, Secretary Gage, Attorney General
Criggs, Postmaster General Gary and for
mer Attorney General McKenna We're pres
eut. The disaster of the Maine was the
only topic considered. 1t was determined to
abandon the reception at the White House
tonight and also the reception to the gen
eral public tomorrow night About Il
o'clock the Cabinet officers came from the
Presidents Office One of them stated that
the President had given directions that all
official information relating to the disaster
should be given to the public He added
that a private dispatch to Secretary Long,
signed Rea, stated that the loss was over
go but this was not official, and Mr.. Long
considered the estimate too high. This was
before Captain Sigsbee's dispatch placing
the lost and missing at 25S was at hand.
Th& Cabinet officer stated that there We're
many evidences that the disaster was the
result of an accident. Consul General Lee
had cabled that the Spanish authorities
had expressed to him their profound re-
gret at the occurrence. Another Cabinet
official said one dispatch stated that Capt.
Sigsbee was the last man TO leave the
ship.
At 1890. while Secretary Long was still
with the President, Mr.. Finney, private
secretary of the Secretary of the Navy,
was admitted with an important dispatch,
just received from Captain Sgsbee, COM
mander of the Maine. This was read by
the President and Secretary and then given
out. as follows:
Advise sending American vessel at once.
The Maine is submerged, except the debris.
Mostly work for divers. Jenkins and Mer-
ritt are still missing, and there is but lit
tie hope for their safety. Those known to
have been saved are the officers "A unin-
!ured of the crew and eighteen wounded

CAPTAIN sIesBEE,s STORY.
The Commander of the Maine Tells OF
the Disaster to His ship.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia dispatch TO the
Herald from Havana says: The officers of
the Maine fail utterly to account for the
disaster on the theory of any internal ex-
plosion, but they also agree that no torpedo
could have caused the damage that this ex-
plosion wrought Then, too. the finding of
large diamond-shaped piece of cement,
which went so high in the air as to crush
clear through the deck of the City OF Wash
ington in it's descent, adds another puzzling
feature to the case. An internal explosion
would not have hurled it so high in air.
The captain choked down his emotion, and
I asked him OF the disaster. There is very
little that / can tell you, he replied. Il
was in the cabin at the time. had just
finished a letter to my family when that
enormous crash came. The ship lurched
heavily to port, and / knew in an instant
what it all meant = that it meant
that my ship had blown up. All the
cabin lights were put out, and as
I groped my way out of the apartment

sentries, keep silence and to food the mag
azines. The magazines were already food

sigsbee believed the loss of the battle ship
Maine was due to an exterior explosion
was shown to Lieutenant Whittlesey. Of the
Navy Department, who had been deputed
by Secretary Long to receive all dispatches
on the subject of the disaster, he said: I'VE
have had absolutely nothing from Havana
or Key West since the last dispatch Of sigs-
bee announcing the departure of the OIL
vette. I do not think the torpedo theory
tenable, and do not believe Captain sigs-
bee has expressed such an opinion"
