PARIS GETS IN.
The American Liner Whose
Safety Was in Doubt
SteamS Into Port After a Tenn
peStuOuS Voyage.
LEFT BEATEN TRACK
She Kept Out of the Usual
Course of Vessels.
The Captain Says He Had No
Fear of Capture.
LEFT BEATEN TRACK

New York. April 30.-The American
line steamer Paris arrived this morn
ing from Southampton after a rough
passage of seven days, seventeen hours
and fortyfive minutes with nine saloon,
AZ cabin and 80 steerage passengers.
The Paris left Southampton April %.
After clearing the land, Capt. Watkins
shaped his course about north and at
ter run of thirty miles headed for
home, keeping a distance of about thir-
ty miles from the usual course taken in
previous trips. Capt. Watkins had no
rear that Spanish war vessel would
catch his fleet steamer, after she got
sea room, but it was thought possible
that some craft of the enemy might be
lurking in the vicinity of the channel,
or in the neighborhood of the Irish
coast to waylay the American.
At night every light on board the
Paris was extinguished and dead lights
were covered. Strict watch was kept
for the approach of vessels.
Turning the Lizard, with the wind
southeast, then north, northeast, very
little. the weather became overcast and
a long westerly swell prevailed. This
condition of weather continued until
the wind became westerly and COM
mencing on the 23d increased to gale.
Rough seas with fog, rain and general
ly thick weather prevailed. On the
American coast, heavy northeast gale
with high head seas was encountered.
The Paris sighted the White Star line
steamer Majestic on April % at 5:43 a.
M, in lat. 1875, long. 1929 and at 1920
p. m, of the same day passed a freight
steamer of the White Star line bound
east. Nothing else was seen on the
way across.
The Paris brought sixteen cases of
munitions of war and small quantity
of miscellaneous merchandise. The
Paris entered the narrows through the
field of mines and torpedoes at $50
o'clock this morning and was saluted
by steam whistles of passing craft, as
she went to her dock
1t is expected that the Paris will dis
charge her cargo today and will be re-
ceived by the naval authorities tomor-
row morning, when her name will be
changed to Yale. The Paris has a
crew of 299 and two mail clerks. She
also brought two stoMaMaYs.

A SPOILED PACKAGE
Caused Trouble in a Mans Household.

S6QS0u 4TOuU1O III d x4e1A . 1AOLlSC4AOAO'
Those were happy days when I was
convalescing and could feel the content
of returning strength and life.
None know theh feeling except those
who have been very ill and recover.
I began again, months after COM
plete recovery, to use coffee for break
fast and it seemed to agree with me for
a while until 1 gradually became con-
scious that the old stomach and bowel
troubles were coming on again with the
queer nervous feelings.
I had been cured first by leaving off
Coffee and using Postum Food Coffee
and would always have used Postum, but
for the fact that / got a spoiled pack
age one day and turned against it.
I didn't then know that the grocer
would have given me a good one in it's
place without charge.
When found Coffee was doing me"
again,I went back to Postum and found
it was better made than ever and a
most charming, delicious beverage.
In less than a week L was well and
thoroughly satisfied to remain so and
stick to Postum.

KILLED III ELEPHANTS.
F. s. selous, the Original Allan qua
termain, Tells of Life in Africa

Chicago, Dec. 5.-F. S. Selous Of Eng
land, the original of Rider Haggard's
Allan Quatermain, was registered at the
Auditorium hotel yesterday. He is on
his return to England from a, months
big game hunting in Wyoming. Mr..
Selous spent twenty-five years in Africa.
During that time he says he Travelled
over more of central Africa probably
than any other man, and killed III
elephants. He did not hunt them for
sport, but for their tusks. During those
years, as food for his native porters,
Mr.. Selous killed nearly 5000 antelope.
He told of many narrow escapes from
wild animals and hostile natives, espec-
tally during the war with the Matabele.
I fear I should not find the sport
what it was,'' he said, "as the rinder-
pest plague has destroyed millions of
wild animals. I think it is no exaggera-
ton to say that 100000 at least
persisted.
L don't think it possible for white
people to live north of the Zambesi, and
while there is much rich land in Cape
Colony and southern Africa, the re-
sources of the country as a whole south
of the Zambesi are not such as would
offer inducements to Europeans. With
the working out of the gold and dIa-
mOnd fields look to see practically all
the Europeans and Americans leave the
country, which I believe is destined to
come under the control of the Beers"

BEAR CREATES APANIC.
But Proves to Be Friendly, Drinks
Beer and Executes a Dance.

New York, Dec. 5.-A big black bear.
floating on a mass of wreckage, supposed
to be a part of some vessel sunk during
the storm of Wednesday, came ashore
near Springmeyer's hotel on the sound,
between Larchmont and New Rochelle,
yesterday afternoon. The bears shaggy
coat was covered with ice and the animal
looked as though he had been at sea for
hours.
When the bear reached the shore he
shifted the air several times and then
shambled off to the hotel The barrOOm
door was open. In walked the snow-cov-
cred animal. The occupants of the room
disappeared in all directions and the bar
tender sprang on the bar. The bear made
no attempt to modest anyone, but struck
the room. The mixer of drinks came to
the conclusion that the bear was tame
and, getting down from his perch, gave
the shaggy visitor dozen bottles of beer,
sarsaparilla and whisky.
The animal drank the contents of the
bottles and was then. given two baskets
of white grapes. which were devoured
with a relish. The bear Immediately felt
the effects of the beer and executed a
dance, to the delight of the spectators.
Mr.. Springmeyer then secured a chain
and, attaching it to a collar about the
bears neck, led the animal to his stable.
1t is believed that the animal was a mas
cot on a schooner which is reported to
have gone down in the storm.
