ceaseless roulette wheel, the patter Of

Over various games young men and old,
almost all in evening dress, are bent in
deep interest, like doctors at a clinic.
They one and all bear the aspect Of men to

DUEL WITH PITCHFORKS
Ends In the Murder OF Negro by a
White Man.

Ends In the Murder OF Negro by a
White Man.
Chicago, April 22.-Armed with
pitchforks. Horace Scott, colored, and
Edward Edmond, young white man,
fought duel to the death in an alley
at the rear Of 1880 Indiana avenue.
Scott was stabbed in the breast and
died a few minutes later. Edmond
surrendered to the police three hours
later. There had been i'll feeling be-
tween the men for some time, and yes
terday afternoon when Edmond at
tempted to drive through the alley and
was unable to do 80 because wagon
in SCOTS charge blocked the passage
the old quarrel was renewed. Xix
mond threatened to kill Scott and the
latter ran at him with pitchfork.
Edmond drove a short distance up the
alley. Borrowing small three pronged
pitchfork, he ran back to where Scott
was working SCOTS weapon was a
four pronged affair, and was much
longer than that carried by Edmond.
When the two men met they lunged
and struck at each other viciously with
their forks. The fight lasted fully five
minutes, when Edmond struck Scott's
pitchfork aside and then plunged the
prongs of his own fork into the ne
gro's breast. Scott staggered into
nearby barn and fell to the floor. Xix.
mond followed and stood over the
dying man until the latter died. The
prongs of Zikmond's fork entered
SCOTS heart.

GERMAN wARsnlx FOR SAMOA.

iyhe Kaiserss Government Justlfcd in
sending Another Vessel.
washington, April 22.-The report
coming from Shanghai via London
that another German war vessel has
been ordered to Samoa was received
with interest by of1cials here, though
no particular importance was attached
by them to the report. the opinion be-
ing expressed that the German gov
eminent was simply making an adj
dition to Its naval representation In
Samoa so as to equal that OF Great
Britain, a step she had right to take,
because Of her large commercial in
terests there. From the German point
of view the dispatch Of another war
vessel to Samoa would be entirely con-
sistent with the maintenance of Ger
many's prestige In the island group,
where her material interests are great
er than those of other nations repre-
scented there. These, 1t is claimed,
have been endangered by recent hap
penings to the prejudice Of the coun-
try. Such an act. a German diplomat
said, could not be construed as I'M
friendly to the interests of this gov
eminent nor as menace to existing
conditions. Germany at this time
has only one war vessel at Apia, while
Great Britain has two and the United
States one. The suggestion was made
In German Official circles some days
ago that an additional vessel might be
sent to Apia. The report that an extra
supply of ammunition would be en-
barked at Kiao Chou is probably a
malicious invention.

PORTO RlcoS SCHOOLS.


Woefrl Lack Or Educational Metheds
In Our New Possession.
Washington, April 22.-In a report
to the secretary Of war DR.. Victor s.
Clark, aub-director of public instruc-
ton in Porto Rico, says that only $50
a month can be offered to American
teachers, with transportation to the
island from New York. The English
speaking supervisors are men. and
through them it is hoped to weed out
abuses and develop some system OF
control. DR.. Clark has prepared re-
vised course of study containing only
such subjects as are taught In Ameri-
can schools. As understood in this coun-
try, there is no system Of higher edu-
cation in Porto Rico. No school on
the island affords adequate prepara-
ton for American college work. There
are no normal institutes for boys and
girls. The public schools are kept
open ~ months In the year and six
days in the week. In summer only
morning sessions are held. There is
no co-education Of the sexes.
No schoolhouses exist on the ISL
and, the schools usually being held at
the residences of the teachers. Only
a part of the pupils have text books.
In many cases the pupils take to the
schools the chairs which they occupy.
The pupils study aloud. About 525
schools are reported in the island. and
a little over 100000 is annually paid
for their support. A great desire is
manifested to learn English. New
text books are being published in this
country to replace the Spanish books
now in use.

Beayesso Rolling Ways.

Beavers, the only warm blooded animals
which habitually do heavy transport by
land, provide for all contingencies by cut
ting rolling ways" biting off all stumps
and obstacles and do their log rolling
along these toward the water. There is
very little doubt that were it at all neces-
sary to their comfort other animals would
have hit on tRe same expedients. Thus
beavers have three kinds Of roads-their
ordinary tracks near the water, their
canals and the log rolling roads. This is
quite In accordance with the very high de-
gree of their social development as COM
pared with other animals.
Variety Of roads is mark Of progress
among the beasts as among men. Even
in Europe there are many degrees OF this
exhibition Of civilization. The Dutch are
the representatives Of the beavers among
men. On the route from The Hague to
Seheveningen, for instance, there lie par
alIel to each other carriage road, Ca
nal, bicycle track, light railway, side
paths regularly constructed and In places
little tracks, or "katz -passen' made by
trespassers. Spectator.

TWO MORE VICTORIES.

Cur Troops Still Engaged in Putting
\Filfpinos to Flight.
Manila, April pa force Of about
200 rebels on Thursday afternoon at.
tackled the outposts of the Washington
regiment near Taguig, south of Pasig
and Pateros. Two companies immedi-
ately engaged the enemy and advanced
into the open III skirmish order. The
rebels were checked and routed after
two hours fighting, leaving u men
killed on the field and several wound
ed. The American troops also obtain
ed possession of many Mauser rifles
and many other weapons. Three Amer
leans were wounded.
Yesterday morning three companies
of the South Dakota regiment march,
ed from Bocave and in conjunction
with three companies of the Minne-
sofa regiment from Guiguinto, north Of
Bocave, encountered rebel force num-
bering fully 500 men, when two miles
out. The enemy retired three miles
in fairly good order, but In spite of that
fact the rebels suffered heavy losses.
The Americans, having exhausted
their ammunition, were compelled to
return to their camps.

SLEEPING in THE DARK.

SUFFERER Mas night.

80 SuAerer Mes Night.
All who have suffered from toothache
know to their SORROW that the pains tn
crease a. the night grows older. A tooth
ache whh,h during the day interfered but
little with our enjoyment of life is likely
to develop during the hours Of darkness
hlto veritable terror, that makes IN
;urse the accident of our birth. 1t is the
same with an earache, asthmatic troubles,
etc. Asthma IL most likely to develop
Into a smothering nightmare between the
hours of 10 p. m. and a. m.
At the Vienna university DR.. Gold
schneider has told the reason In q paper
read before his class He thinks the dark
ness prevailing In the average bedroom is
at fault. Light, he says, plays q greater
part in the pathology Of aches than most
people imagine Those are, generally
speaking, tho healthiest members of the
human family who live in sunlit, we'll
aired rooms and who move about in the
sun as much as practicable.
If in daytime we are stricken with pain,
our sufferings are certainly less, relative
ly speaking, than they would be II the
malady had seized us at night, for light
and sunshine soothe our feelings and DO
not allow us to abandon ourselves to the
feeling of pain.
When night comes, the painful sensa-
tions increase. They are beaIabie as long
as We are IN the gas or iampiight, put De.
come intense the moment we stretcn OUT
In bed, enveioped by stiffness ana Ozark

George D. Saxton was concluded yes

ABEL DRuGGER.
The Powerful Spell Wrought by Dn-
vid GurrIck In That Part.

The Powerful Spell Wrought by Dn-
vid GarrIcIe In That Part.
Garrick acted Abel Drugger in con.
densed version Of THE Alchepist, called
"The Apothecary." 1t wins said of his
performance that it would disconcert the
muscular economy Of the wisest. His at
titude, his dread of offending the alchem-
list, his saying nothing, his gradual steal
ing in farther and farther, his impatience
to be introduced, are ilnitable by none.
When no first opens his mouth, the fea-
lures Of his countenance seem, as 1t were,
to drop upon his tongue 1t is all caution;
1t is timorous, stammering and inexpress-
ible. When he stands under the conjurer
to have his features examined, his teeth,
his beard, his little finger, his awkward
simplicity and his concerns, mixed with
hope and fear and Joy and avarice and
good nature, are beyond painting.
Such high compliment may or may not
have been deserved. At any rate Garrick
made a powerful impression, and a good
story is told of the effect he produced in
the part. A Lichfeld grocer had come up
to town with letter Of recommendation
to Garrick from his brother Peter. Arriv-
ing IN Inc evening, No WoHt 10 bno &hiiofy
