HUNGARIAN Gynsy Minstrels,

The gypsy minstrels form a caste by
themselves. Their appearance is always
more swarthy than that of other Hun
garian musicians, their dress is some
times purposely fantastic, and their
manner of life is far more Bohemian
than the most liberal minded artist
would care to own to. Every hotel and
restaurant in Budapest possesses it's gyp-
sy band, AMI the method CT payment is
as free and easy as the mu sic itself and
their life. The hotel keeper is not
bound by any contract, but at various
intervals throughout the performance
ole Of his gypsies takes a dinner plate
and goes round among the various guests
in the hall from table to liable, receiving
in the plate What the latter like to put
there. The favorite coin deposited there

WRECkED THE VESSEL.
Possible Danger of Steam Jets ms
Fire Extfnguishers

TossiDie Oanger OF steam Jets ms
Fire Extingufshers.
For many years steam jets have been
considered excellent means for extin-
gushing fires in inclosed spaces, and
examples of their good services have
been abundant. The theory of their ac-
ton of course is, like that of the several
kinds of fire extinguishing powders
which have been proposed at different
times, that the steam in the one case
and the sitting fumes from the powders
in the other displace the air in any par
ucuiar space under consideration, and.
with it the oxygen as we'll, by which
alone combustion can be sustained.
In at least one instance, however, the
position was taken that if the steam
jets did not extinguish fire promptly
they soon became a source of danger,
and as such were held accountable for
the loss about year ago of cargo
steamer carrying several hundred tons
of coal and as many more of miscel-
laneous chemicals and. old rope. Fire
broke out in one of the holds, which
were fitted with steam jet fixtures, and
the jets were at once turned on. On
the day following it was proposed to
try hose in addition to the JETS and
one of the upper deck matches was
therefore taken off.
The almost immediate result was a
violent explosion, killing one of the
officers and seriously injuring another.
All the other matches were blown off at
the same time, and the ship began to
leak, so that she soon had to be aban-
doned. One explanation advanced was
that the steam from the jets, passing
over the incandescent cargo, formed
water gas, which, withsuitable air ad-
mixture, became explosive, with the
result noted. The theory is not COM
ferting one, but whether it portrays a
possible condition of things yet renal =
to be demonstrated. Mas,

EASY FOR MORPHY.
A Story of the Great Chess Master
and a Celebrated Painting.

A Story of the Great Chess Master
and a Celebrated Painting.
On reading the notes on Paul Nor
phys visit to Philadelphia 1 am re-
minded of an incident in connection
with his visit to Richmond about the
same time, which was related to me
some years ago by the Rev. Mr.. H. O.
that city. do not remember ever t.
have seen it in print. Mr.. Morphy was
Mr.. H. s guest while in the city, and
on his arrival was first ushered into the
library, and his attention was at once
attracted by painting over the man
tel, which was fine copy of cele-
brated painting representing game of
chess between a young man and the
devil, the stake being the young mans
soul.
The artist had most graphically de-
picted the point in the game where it
was apparently the young mans move,
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game, the agony of
despair being shown in every line of his
features and attitude, while the devil
from the opposite side of the table gloat-
ed over him with fiendish delight. The
position of the game appeared utterly
hopeless for the young man, and Mr..
H. said be bad often set it up and
studied it with his chess friends, and
all agreed the young mans game was
certainly lost.
Mr.. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied it for several minutes, when
finally, turning to Mr.. H., he said:
II can win the game for the young
man.
Mr.. H. was Of course astonished and
said, SIS it possible?"
Mr.. Morphy replied, sect out the
men and board and let us look at it,
The position was set up, and in few
rapid moves he demonstrated a complete
win for the young man, and the devil
was checkmated. -Robert Munford in

WORK IS DRAGGING ALONG.
BE Ready to Sail for Some
DAYS.

SAN FRANCISCO, June N.-Despts all
announcements, General Merritt has not
yet decided whether or not he will go with
the next fleet of transports. There have
been rumors that the general would sail
on the Indiana, the Newport and a Pacific
mail steamer to Hong Kong; thence to Ma
Mia. but no plan has yet been adopted.
1t Is intimated however, that he will be
taken TO the Philippines on the cruiser
Philadelphia, should she be ready for sea
within reasonable time. One thing is
certain. the general is preparing to depart,
and If he should conclude to start with the
next fleet he will be ready. The troops
cannot, however, get away before Satur-
day.
The loading of the vessels with quarter
masters and commissary stores Is going
forward as fapidly as possible, and some
of the more enthusiastic of the officers at
work on them say that the ships will be
ready to start by Thursday. and not later
than Saturday at the farthest. The gen.
eral opinion, however. among the leading
authorities Is that it will be ten days be-
fore we can salute another outgoing fleet.
Every effort will be made to get them off
sooner II possible.
Under orders from General Merritt. a
board Of army doctors to-day examined the
Pacific mail steamship Newport, which ar
rived last from IdlIdIid, with tHe
view of the vessel being fitted up as
hospital ship for tine Philippine expedition.
The Newport Is one of the finest vessels on
the coast. and would well serve the pur-
pose of being turned into a floating hos
pital.
The surgeons are doing everything in
their power to prevent spread OF the
diphtheria. Notices have been sent to all
regimental surgeons TO try to head off
the disease. The sanitary condition of the
camp is very bad and in the present cir
eumstances could be little improved. The
only salvation, as 1t now appears is to
hurry the troops to the transports and
away from Camp Merritt.
The Monadnock arrived in the harbor
this afternoon from Mare island. Her con-
sort the Nero has been coaled and Will
be ready for sea in few days. 1t has
not been definitely given out just what
part these vessels Will play in the war,
but IT is generally believed they will ac-
company the next expedition to the Phil
ipuines or leave within few days after
the third fleet sails.

LucPetia's Joke.

From the Detroit Free Press.
A smile lit up the young woman's coun-
tenance.
"Aunty!' she exclaimed, as she brushed
away a ringlet that was coquettish1y try
ing to entangIe itself with her glasses.
"What is IL, Lucretia, dear?"
isn't 1t interesting to study the manner
in which coincidence seems to defy the
laws Of chance?'
my dear, you must not fatigue your
mind with profound reflections. Your
mother wrote me that you must have di-
version, as you were studying altogether
too hard; and shall have to reprove you
IL your conversation does not promptly as
sumo a more frivolous and vivacious tone"
But, aunty, this is frivolous and viva
cious. I have been trying for ever so long
to accommodate my intellectual exercises
to the desires of you and my parents. ever
since left Boston, and at last have sue
ceeded. You know the Spanish have q
habit Of calling our people Yankee pigs. !"
'Yes And very vulgar habit II Is.
But it presents another OF those har-
monies Of idea which appeal more or less
TO that mysterious faculty known as the
sense Of hun1or. Let us admit. for the pur-
poses of this Immediate occasion. that we
are Yankee pigs. Everybody knows that
beans are of no Importance without pork.
And we are quite at liberty to assume that
Caribbeans are no exception to the rule"
She turned 10 her volume Of Herbert
Spencer, while her aunt. in a furry of de-
light sat down to write and tell the family
that Lucretia had made joke.
