Thieves on Union Street.

A thief entered the house on
Union street occupied b, a num-
Der of school teachers, Saturday
night, and made away with a few
articles grabbed up 10 hurry
One of the ladies had Just gone to
the sewing machine drawer and
taken out some money left there
during the day and, was in the
act of leaving the house, when the
thief entered and opened the came
drawer. The fellow had evidently
been watching about the place
and bad seen the money placed
there. The young lady screamed,
as women will do, and the thief
scatnpered away, taking the draw
er and some thimbles with him.
This is not the first time tie
house has been entered. A short
time ago, a man entered the house
at night and, sneaking into Miss
kelley's room, began operations
on the bureau, where some S45
was put. Miss Kelley wakened
and demanded the business of the
thief, who Immediately found he
had no business and vanished
the first opening.
A Waterman has been placed
near the house at the order of the
Marshal, and the young ladies
may now sleep in peace.

TRIP OF LORD BERESFORD
May Have Important Political Re-
suits at Home.
Possible He May Return to Oppose The Gov
ment-POSltiOn Of American Mer-
chants Is Important.

New York, Feb. IA Times
cable from London says: Lord
Charles Beresford's return is an
other matter over which lively
times may be expected in Parlia-
ment. His friends are now openly
stating that he has broken with
the Government in consequence
of his realizing in China the
feeblepess and folly of their policy,
and its grave dangers for the fu-
,ure.
British and American commu-
mites throughout the Far East
have united 10 giving him most
enthusiastic support. No for
eiener in modern times has had
opportunities nearly approaching
his for closely investigating the
Chinese army and navy, its arsen-
ais, it's commercial centers, or for
discussing conidentially with all
the most influential Chinese au.
thorities. He returns armed at
every point. l hear that even
some of those who sent him out
and contributed considerable to
cover the expenses of his journey
are alarmed at the strong line they
believe he will take.
Lord BsIfour declared in the
House of Commons on Tuesday
that Lord Charles Beresford was
not Government emissary. He
could only say this by using the
word emissary in it's narrow and
most technical sense, for what l
cabled you months ago is now
known to everybody, namely, that
Lord Charles was authorized to
make certain definite offers, and
was similarly promised that if
his negotiations succeeded Gov
eminent action should follow.
The availability of a colossal
Chinese market for British and
American trade is at stake. AS
Lord Charles has reached San
Francisco, the great representa-
tive American commercial bodies
will doubtless take this opportu
nifty of satisfying themselves as to
how far they should give their
support. If they decide to do 80
in any large degree his position
when he reaches home will be
materially strengthened.

Washington, February A.
The caDteen aboard ship is a thing

strong hold in the service, Of late
the only vessels in the Navy per-
hitting the sale of even beer
aboard being the New York and
Indiana. 1t cannot be gathered
that the operation of canteeu
aboard thess ships has been the
subject Of an i'll report, but even
there tho sales of beer have been
ordered stopped by the following
order just published:
after mature deliberation the
department has decided that it is
for the best interest of the service
that the sale or issue to enlisted
men of malt CT alcoholic liquor
on board ships of the Navy or
within the limits of naval stations
be prohibited.
Therefore, after the receipt of
this order, commanding officers
aud commsndauts are forbidden
to allow any malt or other alco-
holic liquors to be sold to or is
sued to enlisted men, either on
board chip or wi hin the limits Of

Almost Blind
scrofuia Affects the Eyes : Little
Boy Treated by an ocuiist With
out Relief But Now He Is Well.

out Relief But Now Ne Is Well.
"when my little boy was three months
old his eyes became very sore and he was
almost blind. took him to an oculist
who treated him for six months, and left
him as bad as he was at the beginning.
Finally Hoods Sarsaparilla was recon-
mended and began giving it to him.
In less than three weeks he was able
to 60 into the sun without covering
his eyes, and today his eyes are perfectly
well, and his ears and nose, which were
badly affected, are also well. Hoods
sarsaparilla has certainly done wonders
for my boy" MRS. JAMES II. PAINTER,

PEERS Advice to Young Men.

Mental discipline, the exercise of the
faculties of the mind, the quickening
Of your apprehension, the strengthen
ing of your memory, the forming of n
sound, rapid and discriminating judg-
ment, are of even more Importance
than the store of learning. Establish
control over your own minds, practice
the economy of time, exercise an unre-
hitting vigilance over the requirement
of habit. These are the arts, this is
the patient and laborious process, by
which, in all times and in all profess
siOns, the foundations of excellence
and of fame have been laid.-EXtract

QUEER WAYS OF NATURE.
Where the Tortoise Is n Barometer
and Flies Eat Spiders.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain. but it is singularly
so. Twenty-four hours or more before
rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes
for some convenient shelter. On a
bright, clear morning when not a cloud
is to be seen, the deniZens of a tortoise
farm on the African coast may some
times be seen heading for the nearest
overhanging rocks. When that hap
pens, the proprietor knows that rain
will come down during the day, and.
as a rule, it comes down in torrents.
The sign never fails. This pre-sensa-
ton, or whatever you may call it,
which exists in many birds and beasts
may be explained partly from the in
creaSinS weight of the atmosphere
when rain is forming, partly by hab-
its of living and partly from the need
of moisture which is shared by all.
If we want to find a country where
nature has turned things topsy turvy-
that is, according to our nOtion-we
must go to Australia. Many things are
reversed in that country. 1t is summer
there while it is winter in America.
Trees shed their bark instead Of their
leaves; fruit has the stone, or kernel,
outside; swans are black; there is a
species of fly that kills and eats the
spider, and a fish, called the climbing
perch, that walks deliberately out of
the water and, with the aid of it's fins,
climbs the adjacent trees after the in
sects that infest them. When to this
we add that most of the birds have no
song and the flowers no odors, it is
easily seen that it is on the other side
of the world in more senses than one

Advertiser.

A new and verdant postmaster in a
small rural town had received instruc-
tons to advertise all letters uncalled
for at the end of a certain length of
time. He obeyed orders by inserting
the following advertisement in the viii
lage weekly paper at the end of the
first week of his term of office:
There are ten letters in the post
office that nobody has called for. If
them they belong to don't take notice
and call by the end of the month, the
letters will be sent to the dead letter
office. Anybody expecting letters they
amt got can come and see il any Of
these letters belong to them. All take
notice"

AN ODD TOWN IN MEXICO.
A Place Where the Fashions Are the
Same as Centuries Ago.

Mexico is becoming Americanized
and moderniZed in deplorable de-
gree, but in the interior there are still
towns and villages not touched by the
hand of Improvement"
Tehuantepec is one of the Oldest of
Mexican cities, and it is so far away
from the beaten track of the tourist
and trader that the olden customs and
costumes remain nearly as they were
two or three centuries ago.
The two women wear a bodice or
''camisa'' of white linen, with insertion
around the neck and sleeves of the
beautiful Mexican drawn work, which
is bordered by embroidery of red and
green. The skirt is generally bright
green, closely plated and with deep
border of brilliantly colored cloth or
white drawn work. a broad red sash.
''rebosa.' is knotted around the waist
and falls nearly to the edge of the
skirt The costume is completed by
bright green slippers. Stockings are
unknown.
The headdress is remarkable. 1t is
called "huipil." and is made of broad,
stiftiy starched lace flounce. very full,
on narrow yoke. The flounce eX-
IenuS arOunu the HeCh, wen lIlS
lower edge of the yoke. and is drawn
over the head and around the Shout
ders, framing the face in quantity de-
mure fashion.
The women are fond of jewelry, and
especially of long necklaces made of
gold coins. They have control of the
greater part of the business. They
throng the markets every day, some
with native chocolate, some with flow
ers and vegetables and some with orna-
ments, and native cloths. They excel
in the Mexican drawn work, and deal
ers come from all the large cities to
buy of them.
Many of the women are handsome in
a vivid, tropical way. They are tall and
straight, with superb physical develop
ment, flashing brown eyes, olive skin
and red lips.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Washington md the Indians.

More than once Washington enter
tanned Indians. TrumbuIl, artist lion
of the hour, had painted a full length
portrait of the president. Curious to
see the effect, Washington led n party
of full blooded Indians suddenly into
view of it. One of them advanced and
touched the painted figure. Ugh he
grunted, with suspicion. He looked
behind to see if it were really fiat; dis
covered with disgust that it was. Not
one would permit Trumbull to sketch
him. The president took an amiable
walk down Broadway with the Indians
in their savage dress, paint and feath-
ers, stateliness of civilization and say
age stateliness contrasted. The dignity
of the unregenerate Indian was real,
and yet he was tickled like a child with
this opportunity for display.-Leila

His Was the Better

lone day." says a writer in the Bos-
ton Transcript, the mother of a 10
year-old boy gave him two slices of
buttered bread, telling him to give one
of them to his little sister. He carried
out the order. That night when he
went to bed he was evidently disturb
ed in his mind and remorseful about
something, and his mother questioned
him in a way to bring out the truth.
IL wasn't nice to Peggy about
that bread and butter he owned.
why? asked his mother. Did you
take the bigger piece?
No he answered. Hers was a
little bigger than my piece was, but
mine was a good deal buttererr
