These Fighting Tennesseeans.

The Tennessee regiment, the last Of
the volunteers to leave the Philip
pines, is coming home. After the men
had embarked on the transport Indiana
they were told the insurgents five miles
out from the city were spelling for a
scrap, and they resolved to go ashore
and accommodate them.
They went, and in less time than IL
took them to march the five miles at
quick time they had the enemy fleeing
to the brush, 5rambles and clumps of
bamboo like jack rabbits fleeing from
greyhounds in sage brush field. Ten
nessee rifle shots and Tennessee yell
in charge were too much for the Fill
pinoes, they fed for their lives and
with a fear that the devil would get the
hind ones. After the fun the boys
marched back, went aboard the trans
port and are now sailing home.

Buying Horses For Britain.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-The Record says:
American horses will drag English
ammunition wagons and heavy artillery
over the plains of the Transvaal in the
event Great Britain and the Beers clash
at arms. Orders came from London
yesterday to a firm of horse dealers at
The Union stock yards to buy up all the
LOO pounds ''gunners" the western
market afforded and make arrangements
for immediate shipment. Stress was
laid upon the fact that the animals
were wanted for the impending South
African campaign and the commission
was marked "Rushn and s'Imperative.n
The horse market az the yards was
stirred by the news. Telegraphic orders
were flushed to breeders In Illinois.
Missouri and Iowa for reservations of
choice stock, with the expectation that
the first consignment will leave Chicago
for England the latter part of the week.
The Specifications that must be adj
hered to ia the selection of the artillery
horses, dealers say, will make the fill
ing OF such wholesale order some
what difficult of accomplishment at this
time. 1t Is demanded that the animals
be full made and weigh not less than
Loo pounds" The prices which the
british government set as limit range
from $l10 to sI25 head.

A Tribute to Dewey.

Senator John B. Henderson, OF Mis-
souri,, gives this estimate of the char
acter of the man whom the American
people are now proud to honor. He
says:
IF hero be wanted, Dewey stands
pre-eminent as such throughout the
world. II prudence, deliberation, saga
city and wisdom, those prime elements
of true craftsmanship, are asked, his
friends may proudly point to his dis
.tinguished civil service in Manila bay.
A Spanish army in front, a port block
AIDED against the worlds commerce,
jealous navies OF other nations watch
ing for infraction of the public law, and
a nation of Philippine people naturally
suspicious, just emerging from political
oppression, but determined to be for
ever free, sensitive and confiding to acts
OF friendship, but quick to resent every
appearance of wrong-out of these and
other questions grew the delicate and
difficult duties, which, being we'll per-
formed, add to heroism the prouder
title of craftsmanship"

Fillpin0es Are Bold.

MANILA, Sept, p, 6:l2 p. m.-The in
surgents are trying to incite the natives
of Malabon, a city of 30, 900 inhabitants,
Eve miles from Manila, to rise against
the American garrison. Captain Allen
has been holding the place with two
companies of the 10th infantry, but on
account of the need Of all the available
men at the front, his force has been re-
.duced to seventy men. They now re-
main near the big church where they
are quartered, being too few in number
to attempt to patrol the town. Armed
uniformed parties of insurgents recent
ly disembarked during the night, col
lected money for the insurrection and
preached revolt. Two mayors have been
elected, but both of them have declined
to serve.
Malabon has been made the shipping
point where provisions and other stuffs
are brought FROM Manila by train and
shipped into the hostile territory. The
insurgents seem to be trying to make
their good treatment of the American
prisoners card by which to gain out
side sympathy. Two Englishmen who
have arrived here from Tartac report
that the Americans are treated more
like guests than prisoners. They are
fed on the best that the country affords
and everything is done to gain their ia
vor. A Filipino paper says that on the
occasion of a recent fete az Vittoria in
celebration of a mythical Filipino vic
tory, the American prisoners there
were given the freedom of the town and
five pesos each with which to celebrate
the victory"
The Englishmen also say the Fill
pinoes have offered all the Americans
commissions in the army and that three
OF them have accepted. This is not be-
lieyed.

The Democrats of Massachusetts held
state convention last week and not

A HOUSE IN TWO STATES.
The Illinois and Indiana Line Runs
Through It.

The State line tavern in the northwest
part of Hammond enjoys the peculiar dis
tinction of being half in Indiana and half
in Illinois. In 1882 the east section was
erected by Mrs. Robert Werley and rented
as a saloon. During 1892 the west section
was added by her so as to extend over
into Illinois about twenty-five feet. The
second and third floors are used as a
hotel There are two entrances to the
saloon on the ground floor, one from the
State of Illinois, the other and front one
from Indiana. Plummer street runs in
front of the tavern. The location of the
structure with reference to the two
States is such that the imaginary State
line runs diagonally through the building.
This peculiar feature of the two States
tavern gives it a novel precedent not en-
joyed by other places of it's character. 1t
is pointed out to strangers as one of the
sights of interest in Hammond. Not a
few stop there while passing just to i'm
bibe a glass of beer and undergo the SEN
sation incident to the novelty of the
place. AT one point in the saloon per-
son may stand in Illinois and drink beer
from the counter in Indiana. This is done
every day by hundreds with gusto and
comment.
Another feature of this bar is the ar
rangement Of the slot machines. These
money-swallowing devices are placed just
over the Indiana line where there is no
law TO stop them. In Illinois they are
under the ban and dare not be operated.
To play them in Werley's bar. though, one
has but to step out of Illinois and into
Indiana.
Again, one who has broken the law Of
this State may seek immunity from the
police by simply moving his lodging with
out inconvenience to this tavern, and vice
versa as to Indiana. In the hotel part OF
the building number of the rooms are
so arranged that a person in bed lies with
a part of his body in each State. And in
the course of his toilet he crosses and re-
crosses the State line frequently. For
instance, he shaves in Indiana. and
bathes his face and his hands in Illinois.
Or vice versa Or where two sleep in the
same bed, in two of the rooms, one is in
one State and the other in the other.
Just west of the hotel is Mrs. Werley's
garden. She raises vegetables in Illinois,
and consumes and sells them in Indiana.
And so on ad libitum the incidents COM
mon to both States might be observed
every day.-Chicago Tribune.

eventually developed into pneumonia of
an acute type and resulted in death.
William CASTOR Hunt was born in
Guilford County, North Carolina, in
1927. He was one of a family of ten
children. His father was an active,
Woodworking man of small means, and
in order to better his condition, re-
moved with his family in 1874 to An
drew County, Mo. The mother died in
1916, and in 1S4S the father followed
her leaving a large family of children,
of which William CASTOR was one of
the youngest. His opportunities for
obtaining an education were very linn
tied, but he was very energetic and per-
sistent and made the very best of the
advantages afforded him.
In 1849, when the gold fever began to
spread East from the Pacific Coast, the
entire family determined to locate in
California. The journey to California
began on May l, 1S49. Just four months
thereafter the party reached Hang
town, now Placerville. A hotel or
boarding house was opened and pre-
sided over by the sisters and a sister
in-law, while the men of the party be-
gan driving big freight wagons be-
tween Sacramento and the mines
In 1850 Mr.. Hunt began speculation
which laid the foundation for the large
fortune which he afterwards accumu-
lated. That year witnessed a very
heavy immigration to California and
Mr.. Hunt made a business of buying
the stock of such immigrants as de-
sired to sell. He went to Carson City,
and bought band of cattle which he
drove over the mountains and into the
valley, turning them out TO Craze on
big tracts of land near Yolo, which he
afterWard purchased
Mr.. Hunt took an active interest in
all public enterprises intended to de-
Velop the resources of Yolo County He
old much toward encouraging the VIII
cultural interests of Yolo County. One
of his warehouses was converted into a
winery, and a company of which he
was the president was Incorporated.
Mr.. Hunt was one of the founders. a
large stockholder and one of the direc-
tors Of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank. He was also for many years a
heavy stockholder in the Bank of
Woodland. He owned a farm of 500
acres north of Woodland It comprises
some of the choicest farmi~- and fruit
land in Northern California About 400
acres of this land he sold to the Yolo
Orchard Company. He owned a fine
residence in Oakland nd another in
this city. He also owned quite a num-
Der of business blocks in this city.
In the fall of 1853 the deceased was
married to Miss Jennie Dav native OF
South Bend, Ind. She survives him. To
them were born three children, all of
whom are living. They are Alice
Edith, wife of L. D. Stephens of this
city; Rowena D.. wife of E. I. Depue.
Of the Yolo Orchard Company, and
Avis Hunt of this city.

CURIOUS MARINE ANIMALS.
Their Habit Of Gathering Around
Any Article That May Be Drift
ing On the Surface.

The Prince of Monaco, in his recent
lecture before the Royal Geographical
Society, said that in his oceanic re-
searches he has often observed the
curiosity with which marine animals
of all sorts regard any floating or drift
ing object that may attract their at
tention. He has noticed this popularity
in every kind of sea life. Even turtles.
whose brains are very poor, as well as
large cetaceans, whose intelligence is
relatively high, seem equally fascinated
by buoy or even a ship. Any kind of
apparatus brought up from the depths.
even cable end, is often accompanied
by a single fish or a shoal of fishes
which become hopelessly confused when
the object disappears out of the water.
The Prince thinks that seafarers
should bear this fact In mind and that
all ships boats should carry a harpoon
and lines or other tackle for keeping
up supply of provisions. Further
more, an abundant fauna inhabits the
surface waters of the sea both day and
night. Many shipwrecked persons who
have died of hunger after days of wan
dering in their boats he believes might
have been saved If they had known
this fact and possessed the simple
means of procuring some scraps of this
fauna. Tunnies, which are among the
largest of food fishes and inhabit the
high seas, though they often visit the
coasts in shoals, may be caught with a
line carrying a rough artificial bait
Floating spars, casks, driftwood and
the like attract shoals of fish. especial
ly where they have become well COW
cred with attached organisms. The
Prince said he had caught fifty Poly
prion cernium, weighing 3oS pounds,
from shoal in less than half an hour
and the spar they were following might
