FOUND HIS WAY HOME.
A Lonely Fox Hound That Travelled
Distance of Five Hundred
Miles in Six Weeks

Did you ever hear Of dog travelling
from Mississippi to Kentucky?" said a
gentleman from Houstonville recently
TO II New York Telegram reporter,
without human companion?
We'll, l heard Col Tee Carpenter tell
of wonderful hound of his. He says
that some years ago he sold a hound TO
a gentleman of Corinth, Miss. The dog
broke away from the eXprcssman on
the train when in northern Mississippi
and was not heard Of for some time.
The Mississippi gentleman wrote TO
Carpenter and asked what was the rea-
son the dog had not been sent. Car
penter looked the matter up and found
that the dog had jumped out Of the ex-
press car while the train was running
at full speed. About six weeks after
ward the hound showed up at Carpen-
ter's house in Lincoln county. He had
come home alone, being guided by that
peculiar instinct with which dumb ami
mails are gifted lie had Travelled fully
500 miles. The dog was never Of any
value thereafter and he was completely
prostrated by the trip. He looked like
skeleton when he got back to Ken
tucky, and could never afterward run
fast enough TO keep up with Carpenters
other fox hounds"

Nobody has seen or heard of a rat
about Castine, Me-, since last summer,
says the New York sun. In July, when
the whole town was oyerrun with rats
and everybody was in a panic over
their destructive work, coasting
schooner came there Tor wood, and the
captain sold Ben Wardell a receipt for
killing the animals. For a week or two
Wardcll went from house TO house sell
ing yeIlowish gray powder, which he
offered TO give away If it failed to de-
stroy the pests. Then the rats began
TO die. Their bodies were found in out
houses and cellars and in bitches by the
roadside. The smell was bad for
time, but the rats were gone and not
one has been seen since. The cOmpo-
sition Of the powder remained a secret
until Wardeu enlarged his business and
began TO sell it in other towns. The
Castine druggist was naturally anxious
TO know what killed the rats, and made
note of the articles which Wardeli
bought. lie never asked for any kind
Of poison but the drug yender believed
that he purchased more calcine plaster
than any ordinary man had need OF
using. lie mentioned it TO Wardell one
day, and the secret was out. The rat
killing powder was composed of Indian
meal and calcine plaster in equal parts.
The rats ate the mixture for the meal it
contained. Then they had a great
thirst. The water caused the mass to
harden in the stomachs Of the rats,
after which their digestive functions
ceased TO operate and the rats starved

NO CHANGE IN PLANS
BATTLE SHIPS OREGON AND IOWA
WILL 60 TO THE PACIFIC.
Commodore Philip Placed in Com
mand of the North Atlantic squad
ron - The Presidents Trip.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 6-Captain Crownin-
shield, chief of the navigation bureau OF the
Navy Department. authorizes the statement
that no change has been made in the orders
to the Oregon and Iowa TO go to the Pa
cific.
Admiral Howell has been relieved from the
command of the North Atlantic squadron
and his flagship, the San Francisco, has
been ordered out of commission at Norfolk.
The command of the squadron devolves
upon Commodore Philip, whose flagship, the
New York, is now at the New York navy
yard. The explanation for the change in
command given at the Navy Department
is that the San Francisco, Admiral
Howel's flagship, must go out of commits
sion. The vessel has had an extraordinary
record. She was placed in commission Nov.
Is, 1890. having just been completed by the
Union iron works. and has never been
day out of commission since, though she has
circled the world and has done a phenom-
email amount of cruising. Even now she is
still most serviceable vessel, but it is
deemed positively necessary to modernize
her in some important points First in i'm
portance among these is the battery. Great
changes have been made in naval ordnance
in the past nine years and to make the San
+ FRANCISCO or full value she is to be fitted
with the best guns of the caliber carried
by her. Her present battery consists of
twelve siX-inch rifles, with good secondary
battery. These guns are all to be turned
INTO qulck-hr1ng rifles, which it ia calculated
will in the case of the six-inch guns alone
increase their firing capacity about $50 per
cent The ships engines will also have an
extensive overhauling and generally the
San Francisco is to receive the same course
OF treatment that is being accorded to the
Newark, built about the same date Recur-
be stated that the opinion has prevailed
for some time in the Navy Department that
the North Atlantic squadron was afflicted
with too much rank and that centralized
authority in one commander would give bet
ter results
A delegation, headed by Governor Tanner
to-day succeeded in having the converted
yacht Wasp ordered to Chicago for the use
of the naval reserve.
