SHE SAW PEARL.
Phebe Ann Was Satisfied She Saw 4
Sister in Cage of
Monkeys.

1T is not often that human being
will approach cage of monkeys, and,
recognizing a long-lost relative there
in, have the courage of conviction to the
point of declaration. Yet this was done
not long ago by girl of tender years
and Senegambian lineage. Phebe Ann
is brief, squat, black of face and sedate
of demeanor. She is home or country
bred negro who acts as attendant for
the heir of Georgia family of impor-
lance. She decided she had seen Sis
ter and gave voice to her belief.
The family lives in the country on a
large plantation. During the early
spring months a change of base was ex-
ecuted to a city where there is a respect
able 900" Now, Phebe Ann had passed
all her limited life on the plantation
and was source of considerable worry
from her yells of surprise over every
thing she saw in the city. At last SIS
ter of the mistress said she would take
the little pickanniny and give her one
took the negress to the ZOO.
Phebe Ann backed away from the ele-
plant, the zebra and the four-horned
OK in dismay. She wanted none of
them. So far the fright had worked
well, and it looked as if the youngster
would be ready to stay closely at home.
But surprise was coming. The two
drew near to a cage of chattering mon
keys. Phebe Ann cut loose with a
shrek of joy and fled to the cage. She
made eager voice to be permitted to
enter and was woeful when denied. The
experience was related that evening
around the supper table.
''Well, Phebe Ann" said her mis-
tress, Ibid you see anybody you knew
to-day?"
'Dunno for sure, Miss ANY," was the
answer. ''Down to de show seed sum-
body. amt sure eff seed Susie, but I
done guess I seed Pearl" Chicago
Chronicle.

Uncle Robert. father and moth
er, Mr.. and Mrs. Barring, had reached
the point where they had allowed their
unabridged views on the subject of
Uncle Roberts deafness to become
known to him; some people
young people especially - might
have Stunned him, but they were not
so inconsiderate. They knew that he
couldn't help his deafness, and that he
was of sensitive nature, besides be-
ing man possessed of large amount
of property, real and personal; there
fore, as they were kindly family, they
bore gently and tenderly with his in
trinity. Nevertheless, it was not only
hard on the voice, but it taxed the in
ventive faculties to considerable ex-
tent. Matters of personal and pri-
vate nature were sometimes discussed
in the family circle, and it was too
much to expect that they should be
shouted so as to be perfectly audible
to the people In the next fiat. In such
case the person required to shout was
compelled to substitute remarks on the
Philippine situation or the prices of
plumbing material or some other topic
of universal sort.
Again, it was awkward before

the American a trial before he was
shot.
Z" oh, he got into the trouble-let him
get out said the Mexican.
Commander Dewey didn't like this
reply, and the more he thought about
1t the angrier he got. The next forenoon
he sent a note to the Mexican colonel
telling him that an American citizens
life was in danger. and that the man
was entitled to a fair trial. He told the
colonel that he would allow him just
twenty-four hours to rescue the Ameri-
can and protect the Englishmen. II at
the end of that time relief was not on
its way to the little mining party he
would lombard La Pas and burn 1t.
when we heard what Dewey had
done we were all frightened.

another.
"As for myself, I was soon satisfied
that he meant every word of It. L was
In command of the guns. We had only
two old howitzers on the Narragansett,
the larger guns having been left tenn
porarily at the Mare Island navy yard.
"'Get those howitzers ready for to-
morrow morning and inspect all the
small arms and ammunition said
Dewey to me. Then he called the men to
quarters and estimated that of the
crew of about 120 we could land ninety
able armed men as a storming force.
We drilled the men all that afternoon
and far into the night. That night, on
Commander Dewey's order, we steamed
to a point commanding the principal
streets of La Paz and trained the
howitzers on the town. BY next MORN
ing we were all ready to begin a Sec
ond war against Mexico.
"At daybreak a Mexican corporal
came on board with message from his
colonel saying that the arragansett
commanders request would be compiled
with. Early that morning we watched
800 armed Mexican soldiers start for
the mining camp, and we kept the old
howitzers trained on La Paz till the
soldiers returned with the American
engineer. When Dewey reported to
Washing on on the matter he minimized
the Importance of it, and it was passed
over as a mere incident. Lieutenants
Harris and Wright were on the Mar
ragansett then, and Harris, at least was
with the fleet at Manila. 1t is some
what singular that at that time, when
we were expecting a declaration of war
against Spain on account of the Vir-
ginius affair, Commander Dewey had
his plans all made to sail the Mar
ragansett to Manila"

Scranton played two games at AL
lentown yesterday, winning one by a
base on balls and two errors in the
ninth inning, and losing the other by
score of 81 under similar circum-
stances. Hodson pitched both games,
and had the Peanutters breaking their
backs in the first game reaching out
for his benders, and up to the ninth
inning in the second game kept his OPP
ponents guessing, when he weakened,
Allentown scoring two runs, with no
one out. A new second baseman named
Gaffikin took Stouch's place, and made
two errors in the second game.
At Wilkes Barre, a ten-inning game
was played, resulting in a victory for
the Barons by a score of 5-4. Reading
administered another shut-out to Pat
erson in a well-played game. Newark
tried an amateur named Faulkner, who
won his game from Lancaster with
ease.
Only three games were played in the
National league yesterday Boston
dropped a game to Pittsburg, and New
York took another fall out of Cleve-
land, moving into seventh place by a
point. Philadelphia winning streak
was broken by st. Louis, and the Sec
ond game was postponed on account Of
rain.

ABOUT FLIES.

From an Interview by W. e. Curtis with
DR.. Howard, the EntOmologist.
IAN ordinary house fly will lay 40 eggs
during its existence, and ~ per cent. of
them will be hatChed out. During the
ordinary summer twelve or thirteen
generations of flies will be produced. Ev-
cry female fly is the progenitor of mil
lions of flies during Il single summer.
The eggs are Matched into larvae within
twenty-four hours after they are laid.
They remain in the larval state from five
to seven days and in the pupal state a
similar time. The average life of a fly
is from ten to fourteen days"
Does the fly serve any useful pur-
pose?"
Not so far as we have ever discov-
cred" said DIR. Howard, "and 1t does a
great deal more injury than people COM
monty suppose. We are accustomed to
think of files simply as a nuisance but
they are undoubtedly the carriers of con-
tagion, as was abundantly proved dur
ing the war of the rebellion and also in
the camps of our army last summer 1t
Is the judgment of the highest authorities
that considerable part of the typhoid
fever was due to the flies in the camps"
