Dub Allen, a well-known local behind

story OF a local grip who takes his name
from this city, and who went out several
years ago as a carpenter with the Ameri-
can Opera Company. This company was

donkeys as property. When the company
finally disbanded in the Central Ameri-
can republic, this carpenter was told to
pack all the properties in a car and take
them to San Francisco. When the car
finally reached San Francisco and was uu-
loaded the men in the railroad yards
thought they had opened a cattle car by
mistake, for no less than thirty burrcs
came ambIing out of its interior. With a
desire 10 get even with the town for its
poor support the carpenter in loading his
car included in its cargo every harmless
burro that came browsing that way. The
mystery of the disappearance Of all these
donkeys has never been cleared up, and
the carpenter says that the anniversary of
their departure is celebrated as a day of
miracles bV the villagers.

the fact that they had been mutually at
lacking one another with sticks and sa-

heads for the whole of the two previous
days, an explanation of that circumstance
would doubtless be sought and found in
their patriotic attachment 10 their COM
mon country and their joint determination
that the national jealousy for the ''pu
donor should be maintained at any cost
to the public peace.
These assurances having been given
and received, the representatives of the
contending parties then embraced one an
other in the presence of the professors
of the cavalry school and the professors
of the university and the two deputations
then proceeded to the military academy
to communicate the agreement which had
been arrived at by the students who re-
ceived the news with loud cheers We
can well imagine that there was not q
dry Latin eye among those present at
this moving scene. To complete it, how
ever, the professors of the cavalry school
should have embraced the professors of
the university, the successful cadet suitor
should have embraced the daughter of the
project and the discarded student sutton
should have pronounced his bonediction
over the pair, who might then have been
accompanied home by chorus of cadets
and students singing an epithalamium in
their honor. And though none of these
last incidents actually happened, we feel
thai it would not have caused US the
least surprise if they all of them had.
For. though the Latin races may have
many brilliant and endearing qualities,
there is certainly a strong dash of the
comic opera in their composition.

X-RAYED A MOTOR FRAUD.
AIdrich Perpetual Motion Machine
Went by CIoclsworlS.

From the New York Sun.
In revealing the unseen works" which
made a perpetual motion machine mote
the Scientific American has found a new
use for the x-ray. There came to the
office of the pepper not long ago box con
tanning O mysterious machine. Along with
it came a letter from man in Bradford
Pa. who SAID that the machine was the
invention of J. NJ. Aldrich, now serving a
sentence in Auburn prison for Obtaining
money by fraud. Adrich drlfted in. o

interesting several men in his perpetual

After they had seen it mote" and had
scrutinized its exterior, they advanced
money to the inventor to enable him 10

patent office. But, as weeks went by, and
Aldrich absorbed the money advanced him
without any apparent result, the promo
ters became suspicious. At last Aldrich
was locked up in the county jail, only to
be released when he promoters conclud-
ed that they lacked evidence against him.
Later he was sent to prison n New York
state.

A money miner, VINO mas only MS pick
his shovel and his grit, can accumulate
millions under the British flag.
Perhaps the most dramatic fortunes re-
Gently made were those of Col. North, the
Nitrate King Barney Barnato, the
'Kaffir King Ernest Terah 1ooley, the
champion promoter and bunco man, and
Sir Thomas Upton, whose wealth is more
legitimate and less speculative. At one
time the three richest men in the kingdom,
il was said, were the Duke of Westmin-
ster with $4,000 900, the foundation of
which he inherited the Duke Of Norfolk,
with $40 100000, and Col. North, whose pos
sessions 1t was understood amounted TO
the figure st-named.
Sir Donald Currie, the owner of large
steamship system, was a canuy Scot, who
began his business career with suit Of
clothes very threadbare and all sorts of
energy.
Thomas Wilson, of the Tranby Croft
baccarat scandal, or rather, the progeni-
tor of the Wilson's, who took part in that
scandal, was once laborer. Now his
family do nearly all the shipping business
in HUI. The Wilson house flag, which IS
seen often enough in New York, seems
TO crowd out every other flag around
Sweden and Norway, and about the east
coast of England. The firm probably owns
100 vessels, and yet old Thomas Wilson,
who founded it, was thoroughly unpre-
sentabe 1t is said that after the family
became socially ambitious they used to
lock him in a han room and nut one Of
his own bOatSWains on guard lest he should
