The Original Organ Grinder.

When barrel organs once the usual
accompaniment Of the magic lantern,
came into use, q native Of the province
Of Tende was one & the first who tray.
eled about Europe with this instrument.
In his peregrinations he collected
money enough TO enable him to purchase
from the king Of Sardinia the title Of
cpunt Of the country where he was born
for which, probably, in a time Of war
be did not pay above 1000 guineaa
With the remainder Of his money he
purchased an estate suitable to-his rank
and settled himself peaceably for the
remainder Of his days in his mansion.
In the entrance hall Of his dwelling
he hung up his magic lantern and his
organ facing the door. there to be care
fully preserved till they moldefed to
dust, and he ordered by his will that
any one Of his descendants who should
cause them to be removed should forfeit
his Inheritance and his patrimopy revert

cessor. to the hospital Of Tende.
Only q few years ago the organ and

Washington, Feb. 19-Secretary Bliss
is in receipt Of letter from Governor
John c. Brady, of Alaska, descriptive
of the lawless condition of affairs at
Skaguay and Dyea. 1t was referred to
at the cabinet meeting yesterday when
Alaskan affairs were under discussion;
and was considered sufficient justifica-
ton by the members for the dispatch
ot the additional military force already
authorized to be cent to Alaskan ter
ritory. The following is copy of the
letter: News from Skaguay by tho
steamboat now in port is serious. The
United States deputy marshal has been
shot dead in discharge of his duty. An.
other man was killed at the same time
al the same place. Recently the steam
efs have been carrying great lists of
passengers, many of these are gamblers.
thugs and lewd women from the worst
quarters of the cities from the coast.
jury Deliberately Periure,l Itself.
They have taken in the situation at
skaguay and Dyea ana appear to have
combined to carry things with a high
hand. The best people at these places
are powerless because they have no
municipal form of government. The
United States marshal is powerless be-
cause he can appoint only a few depu
ties, and when they undertake to act
they are singled out as targets by this
ruffianly element One of this class was
tired in the United States district court
last December for the killing of United
States Deputy Marshal Watt in Jan
rary, 1897. and was acquitted by the
jury in the face of positive testimony
In fact these influences seem to he
joined hand in hand. and will surely
go unpunished unless the government
takes immediate action and provides
the necessary force at Skaguay. Dyea
and other points.
Congress Should Act at Once.
Congress should grant Immediate 70
lief SO that both naval and military
officers can act vixen requested by the
civil authorities. Tie United States
marshal should have patrol vessel at
his command with necessary accom-.
modations for eight or te. deputies and
a proper armament. / do not see how
he can perform his duties as an ex-
ecutive officer of the court unless he
has such means of locomotion always
entirely at his own command.

Another Pretty Fake Repudiased

Key West, Fla, Feb. 19.-As regards
the story that one of the crew Of the
Maine saw small object emitting smoke
approaching the ship Just before the
explosion the correspondent of the As
sociated Press has interviewed the man
in the hospital who was said to have
circulated the report. and has from him
an absolute denial Lieutenant Blandin,
officer Of the deck at the time Of the ex-
plcsion. and Liententant Hood. who vas
with him. both positively deny that
such a story could have any foundation,
unless II was the smoke OF the City of
Washington that misled some one.

were. George W. Kobeler, John Hef-
from and jeremiah Shea are somewhat
improved. DR.. Mas does not despair of
saving them all.
Captain Sigsbee has expressed him
self as grateful for the offer of helm
from the Press divers. but prefers to
await the arrival Of the United States
navy divers so as to avoid friction.
With Lieutenant Commander VAIN
wright, Lieutenant Holman and Chief
Engineer Howell Captain Sigsbee went
on board the wreck yesterday morning.
The big cat that was a pet of the
Maine's crew was found Thursday on
the wreck so much frightened that II
apparently had not moved from its
hiding place. 1t Is now on board the
Fern The captains dog Peggy was
also saved. The United States navv
divers are expected today.
Havana still mourns with the Amer
lean people. Since the funeral ceremo.
nies Thursday the city has removed the
outward signs OF grief. but the work Of
succoring the living and caring for the
dead whose bodies are recovered pro.
ceeds unremittingly. Every care is
shown the survivors. There Is sincere
regret that circumstances make II i'm.

who desire that the remains of their
loved ones shall be sent home for bur.

As to the published statements that
Spain intends to claim a joint interest
In the work Of the court Of inquiry the
navy department says that under the
harbor regulations OF any civilized port
the local authorities are bound to make
an official investigation OF any wreck
occurring in their Jurisdiction. irrespec-
tive OF the nationality Of the vessel or
OF any investigation by another govern
ment. In case 1t Is a craft owned by a
foreign power. As the matter is under.
sto~d here this Is the only right Spain
claims in the case. and it is conceded
to be entirely fair. This statement of
the case was confirmed at the Spanish
legation.

MAGAZINES DO NOT EXPLODE.
As the Effect Of Torpedo on the Outside Of
Ship.

ship.
Washington, Feb. 19-The opinion
OF one Of the leading naval experts in
the use OF high explosives, Professor
Alger. of the ordnance bureau. as to the
cause OF the explosionon the Maine is as
follows: "As to the question of the
cause OF the Maine's explosion, We
know that no torpedo such as Is Known
In warfare can Of itself cause an ex-
plosion Of the character Of that on board
the Maine. We know of no instances
where the explosion of a torpedo o.
mine under a ships bottom has ex-
ploded the magazine within. 1t has
simply torn a great hole in the side or
bottom, through which water entered
and In consequence of which the slip
sank.
Magazine explosions, on the con-
trary, produce effects exactly similar
to the effects Of the explosion on board
the Maine. When 1t comes to seeking
the cause Of the explosion Of the Names
magazine we should naturally look, not
for improbable or unusual causes. but
those against which We have had to
guard In the past. The most common
OF these Is through fire In the bunkers.
Many Of our ships have been in danger
at various times from this cause. Not
long ago fire in the Cincinnatrs bunk
ers actually set fire to the fittings.
wooden boxes. etc, within the magazine,
and had II not been discovered at the
time IL was 1t would doubtless have re-
suited in a catastrophe on board that
ship similar TO the one on the Maine.
I shall again emphasize the fact that no
torpedo exploded without a ship has
ever produced. or, according to our
knowledge. can produce an explosion Of
a magazine within"

posing at one time Of all these stories:
Really no Information has been re-

that the Maine blew up. There Is abun-

Oil an examination has been made by
the divers and more facts obtained. II
is a simple fact to say that such a thing

A SKELETON UNEARTHED.
The Bones Are Probably Those of an
 Indian.

The Bones Are Probably Those of an
 Indian.
 Bridgeport, Nov. 24.-The residents on Fourth street were startled yesterday afternoon to learn that the skeleton of a man had been found on that street about a foot and a half below the sur face of the earth. The gruesome sight was brought to view when the pick and shovel were brought into use in digging up the street for the purpose of laying a line of gas pipe
 The bones had been in the ground a considerable length of time and in all probability belonged to the body of an Indian, some of whom were known to have roamed the forests around this city many years ago. Great care was taken to keep the bones together when taken from the ground, but 1t was a harder task than was expected. As soon as they were touched they all went to pieces, with the exception of few joints that were held together by pieces of dried flesh, They were all placed to- gether again at the side of the street alongside of a tool box, to determine the length of the form. When measured it was about five feet six inches.

BENEvOLENCE IN ANIMALS.

Related Kinds Show Traces of It.
 Without multiplying instances of the acquired character of the benevolent impulse in man. it is worth remember ing that even civilized races relapse with astonishing pertinacity to the non- benevolent state, and that in cultured Athens the horrible human sacrifisces with which the story of ancient Greece is replete survived as a nationa! insti- tuition, and that every year man and woman were whipped through tpe streets and then burned alive to satis y some such impulse as prompts similar acts amorg the C-ngo negroes. At the present moment the absence of benevo- oped races of to-day needs no better il- | lustTation than the fact reeor led by Captain Hinde, that on the upper Congo no negro lives beyond forty. that being the age at which their fellowmen di- rectly or indirectly cause their death.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Miserable Weather Precluded Many
 Pleasures. The miserable weather of yesterday caused many little pleasure trips, foot ball games and other athletic contests 10 be precluded. However there were many who were not daunted by the rain, snow or wind and in consequence traffic on all divisions of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road was quite heavy. The number of people who came to New Haven was almost as great as those who went to neighboring cities.
 A drizzling rain fell in the early morning hours, which later turned into hall and then into plinding snow, which was driven along by strong wind In the evening the streets were almost deserted.
 The Central Y. M. c. A. had arranged for cross-country run to start from Yale field at 9 o'clock. This was post poned, but it was hoped that the foot ball game between the association eleven and a team from the National Blues could be played in the afternoon The hopes were in vain, however and it was also postponed.
