IN LIVINGSTON.
The Mysterious Disappearance of an
Austrian Named Pete.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, Aug. IA case Of mys-
terious disappearance has been report
I'd to Chief of Police Nelson. The name
of the man who Is missing has not yet
been ascertained, beyond that he was
called Pete. He is an Austrian about
80 years of age, and his first appear
ance in this section was about the first
of this month. when he was engaged as
a ranch hand by Robson a Veins
heimer. II is thought that he hailed
from Dillon or vicinity. As far as
known, he was last seen at Gray &
Wetzstein's saloon about 4 o'clock last
Sunday afternoon. John Sellman, who
was with him at the time, says Pete
told him. as they parted, to be sure to
be round for supper IN time, indicat-
ing that Pete had no indication of going
away. Other things pointing To that
conclusion are found in the fact that
he left all his traps and extra clothing
at the ranch. 1t is inferred that he
possessed some means, as he had sig
nified his intention of buying a ranch
and locating here. How much means
he possessed and whether he carrie. II
in cash Upon his person are matters
Of surmise, merely. One theory is that
he may have been drowned while TAX
ing a bath in the river, but another
that I'M greater credence is that he
has met with foul play and been u
dered. Among other articles Of value,
he carried a gold watch and chain. The
marshal has instituted a search in an
effort TO clear up h mystery of his
disappearance.

natives. Tn mex day, CON ng out of
the harbor. he turned to the westward.
m continuing, he approached a high
cape. Here, not far from where his
name ship now lies wrecked, he aban-
doned his westward journey, and turned
south to explore the island of Jamaica,
which he named Santiago.
Later In his career the admiral VISITED
all that part of Cuba between Manzanulo
bay and Batabano. He had many in-t rust
ing experiences In the fringe Of small ISL
ands OF the coast and in the shallow wa
tiers of this part Of the Caribbean, which
he called the White sea. After sailing for
about six weeks, and when nearly oppo-
site the port now most noted for block
ade running operations, HI abandoned
the exploration of the island and returned
to Hispaniola. But not until he and his
men had prepared a document which was
a remarkable demonstration Of the fall
hbility of man. Convinced that he had
been following the southern shore of Asia.
he caused the masters, mariners and sea-
-len of his vessels TO join in a formally
signed document declaring this to be the
coast Of Asia. This. too, although a Jour
ney of less than two days to the west
ward would lave taken him through the
Yucatan channel. which separates the
Cuban province OF Pinar del Rio from
Mexico. Although he afterward twice Wis
tied Cuban waters, he never proceeded
further to the. westward and died still
hugging the delusion that Cuba was part
of Asia.
The great admiral's weary soul depart
ed at Va.ladolid in that Spain which so
poorly requited his great deeds. but he
sleeps in the ~beleagutred city of Havana
on the soil of the island that was TO him
the best beloved of all the lands he gave
to CASTLE and Leon.
There seems to be no hope that either
the Grigsby or Torrey cavalry will see
any active service in the war. and Roose-
velt's regiment will be the only genuine
rough riders. There is, however. some
prospect that these regiments will form
part of the army OF occupation and will
be permitted to go to Cuba after the fall
of the island. This will not be very salts
factory to the enthusiastic boys who COM
pose the rank and file Of these regiments,
but II will be better than no service at
all. The most unpleasant feature of the
business will be that IL sent either to
Cuba or Porto Rico they are likely to
serve at least one full years enlistment.
This is very different from what the boys
contracted for, but IT is the best they
can hope to get.
mountain states will be glad of a chance
to investigate the mineral resources of
Eastern Cuba. Copper is known to
abound there in great quantities, and
there are reports that gold may be found
in richly-paying deposits.

The Destructive English Sparrow.

once saw a single pugnacious lit
tie house wren engage whole flock
uf English sparrows. He was more
than a match for three or four of
them; but in the end, I regret to
say, he was killed outright before
my eyes. This is the only instance
Of the kind have ever seen. A lady
friend tells me that a Baltimore
oriole started to build his wonder
full pensile nest last season in an
apple tree near her home and that
the English sparrows made bitter
war upon him and his house. She
watched the struggle one evening,
and the next morning, the oriole
not appearing, she went into her
garden and found him lying dead
under the apple tree, with his head
pecked open. l have often been
witness to the violent interference
by them in the nest building of rob-
ms and orioles, and, outnum bered
as our native birds are, they always
relinquish their task. Here is a
problem. A report presented to US
by the department of agriculture
shows that a single pair of English
sparrows may in a single decade
bring into existence 275, 20, 983, 698
defendants. What is to become of
our beautiful native song birds when
the English sparrow swarms over
the land2 AS yet, except immedi-
ately around the farmhouses, this
offensive bird is not often seen in
the country districts. = Lynn T.

Educated Pannera.

An indication of the progress of
classical learning among the masses
was afforded few days since when
an inmate of an east end workhouse
called upon a bookseller to ask
whether he had any knowledge of
mythology. In answer to question
as to why such an inquiry should be
made the pauper said: "Well, our
chaplain last Sunday spoke of the
mother of Achilles dipping him in
the river Lethe. Now, if my mem
DRY does not fail me, the chaplain
was wrong, for it was not the Lethe,
but the Styx, into which Achilles
was dipped, making all but the heel
of him invulnerable. The book
seller assured the pauper that he
was right and his spiritual instructor
wrong, and the former left the shop
highly delighted. London News.

Took an Unfair Advantage.

Down in Clarion county, Pa, there
used to live a man named Major
Green, who had a half brother
named John Green. Each spent the
greater part of his life in thinking
up jokes to play off on the other,
and when John Green died the score
was thought to be about even.
A plain stone was erected over
Johns grave by his family, and on
it beneath his name and the dates of
his birth and death was carved this
simple inscription:
He lived blameless life.
But after it had remained that
way for a week or two somebody
added, Until the year before he
died, when he learned to play the
accordion.
Major Green passed to the great
beyond few months later, and it is
generally thought by people who
knew them that he had the last
laugh on John when they met on
the other side. Cleveland Leader.
